Chapter 174 Tomato and Egg Drop Soup
The morning air was slightly cool.
Yun Ci's long eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes.
Listening to the commotion outside the courtyard, Yun Ci blinked, her eyes glazed over.
Everyone arrived so early...
Yun Ci turned over slightly, yawned, and tapped Chu Ziming's face with her finger.
It's warm and cozy in the blankets.
Chu Ziming was still fast asleep beside him, but Yun Ci's movements made him tighten his arms and hug Yun Ci tightly.
He closed his eyes, unconsciously murmuring, "Yun Ci..."
Yun Ci responded softly, patted Chu Ziming to make him let go, and said, "I'm getting up."
As she spoke, Yun Ci got out of bed.
After getting dressed while sitting on the bed inside, I got out of bed.
"Chewmi."
"Little Daddy".
Xiao Bai and Little Ginseng also woke up and were looking at Yun Ci on the small bed.
Good morning, baby Xiaobai.
Yun Ci smiled, her soft, white face still sleepy, and squatted down to smooth out the two little ones' crib.
Seeing that Xiao Hei's blanket had fallen to the ground, Yun Ci picked it up and covered Xiao Hei with it.
Good morning, Daddy.
"Chu mi." Good morning, Yun Ci.
Yun Ci and the two little ones went outside.
He washed up while steaming buns and mantou.
I washed my face and felt much more awake.
Big Brown and Second Brown set up tables and chairs in the yard.
Once the tables and chairs were all set up, Yun Ci opened the door and let everyone outside the courtyard come in and wait.
Everyone rushed into the courtyard, talking and greeting Yun Ci.
Good morning, Yunci.
Good morning, Yun Ci.
"Yun Ci, you got up really early today, hehe..."
"Look, Ci Bao just woke up! Ahhh, so cute!"
Yun Ci placed the chili oil and vinegar on the long table while talking to everyone.
Everyone immediately started talking even more eagerly.
At that moment, several exclamations came from the courtyard.
"My God, it's a puppet!"
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn.
Although the Xuanyuan Sect is a major sect in the world, it does not involve the profession of puppetry. However, as cultivators, everyone knows what puppetry is, although many people have never seen one.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the puppet in the courtyard, which, without close inspection, was indistinguishable from a human.
"So this is a puppet..."
"This is the first time I've ever seen a puppet..."
A disciple of Beast Taming Peak murmured.
"Me too, it looks so much like a human! When I first entered the yard, I thought it was a person."
“I can tell he’s an adult now. If it weren’t for the fact that his clothes were different from ours, I wouldn’t have recognized him even if I had taken a closer look.”
"..."
The crowd stared at the puppet, exclaiming in astonishment.
A disciple from the Talisman Peak, at the third level of the Golden Core stage, looked at the three puppets and said, "I have seen puppets before..."
Five years ago, during the competition among various sects, he saw the puppets of the Puppet Sect.
A disciple at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage looked at the puppet and lowered his head in silence.
He had seen puppets before, but the puppets he had seen were far inferior to the three in Yun Ci's courtyard.
Those puppets were obviously puppets; their movements were stiff, and they made creaking sounds when they walked...
The three people in Yunci's courtyard were no different from humans, whether they were walking or working.
This is very scary.
Yun Ci's three puppets must have been created by some master craftsman.
Furthermore, that master is no ordinary person...
The crowd continued to discuss the puppets, and some even stood up to get a closer look at the working puppets...
Even some people who were meditating got up...

While the people in the courtyard were talking.
Yunci poured boiling water over the tomatoes that had been cut with a cross, making them easier to peel.
Then I started writing today's menu.

After finishing writing, Yun Ci prepared to place the wooden frame at the door.
A disciple from the Alchemy Peak immediately stepped forward, "Yun Ci, let me help you release it."
Yun Ci was taken aback for a moment, then handed him the wooden frame, a smile appearing on her fair and delicate face.
The young boy smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Thank you."
Seeing Yun Ci's smiling face, the disciple from the Alchemy Peak coughed twice.
"No, you're welcome!"
Yun Ci is so beautiful.
The people around him looked at him with envy and jealousy.
Damn it, they beat me to it.
However, upon seeing the menu, everyone immediately started chattering and discussing it.
"Spicy shrimp? Grilled fish? Chicken hot pot? What are these? I've never heard of them before."
"Me too......"
"Look, there's free tomato and egg drop soup today!"
"It's limited, let's hurry up and get in line," a disciple whispered to the person next to him.
"Tsk, you can tell just by looking at the words. Spicy shrimp is definitely made with shrimp, grilled fish is made with fish, and spirit chicken hot pot is made with spirit chicken!"
After hearing the man's explanation, everyone looked enlightened.
Yun Ci was amused by everyone's reactions.
He had figured it out: he couldn't just sell one type of food. From now on, breakfast and lunch would be sold separately, with different kinds of food available. He was sure everyone would like that.
Thinking it over, Yun Ci cracked twenty spirit eggs into the empty basin and beat them with chopsticks.
Pour oil into a pot, then add peeled and diced tomatoes to the pot and stir-fry until the tomatoes release their juices.
Add water.
After boiling, thicken with cornstarch slurry, bring to a boil again, and then pour the beaten egg into the boiling water.
Add seasonings, and the tomato and egg drop soup is ready.
The aroma of tomatoes and the cool morning air make a bowl of hot soup the perfect choice.
The group was still talking around the menu.
An outer disciple said, "The cheapest is 12 spirit stones per serving? That's a bit expensive..."
He only receives 20 low-grade spirit stones a month.
The outer disciple beside him nodded, "It is indeed a bit expensive..."
But thinking that Yun Ci's cooking was always delicious, he wanted to try them all.
He will definitely regret it if he misses out on some delicious food!
He thought to himself: "If only it were cheaper..."
At this moment, someone next to them spoke up, "A serving for two costs 12 spirit stones, which is 6 spirit stones per person. It's not expensive. A bowl of wontons costs 5 spirit stones, doesn't it? And didn't you see? There are free side dishes too."
"Yes, this price is really reasonable. A few pieces of spirit chicken meat cost over ten spirit stones in the canteen, and this whole spirit chicken is only 50 spirit stones..."
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it was indeed not expensive, and some people had already decided to eat there.
"Everyone, please line up now!"
Upon hearing Yun Ci's voice, everyone quickly came to line up.
They all saw it: tomato and egg drop soup was first come, first served, and milk tea was only 50 yuan a tube.
What if we're slow to get ahead and there aren't any more people left?
