Chapter 353: Chapter 353 Going Together with the Little One
Over the years, countless planets have been overrun by the Insect Beasts.
Tens of millions of people have been displaced, losing their homes.
Of course, many have also lost their lives to their voracious appetites.
Some Star Beasts, although destructive, are much less odious compared to the Insect Beasts.
Both are creatures without intelligence, with the Star Beasts’ destructive power relying on instinct.
But the Insect Beasts are ruled by the Queen of the Insect Clan.
Therefore, the harm caused by the Insect Beasts is much greater!
Su Wan originally didn’t think there was anything wrong with eating Insect Beasts.
However, she nearly forgot there were Insectoids!
Su Wan asked Gu Jue, "Ajue, can those Insectoids also see this live stream? If they see it..."
...
Gu Jue, "It will make our people from the Universe Alliance warier."
Su Wan, "Ajue, are you just trying to comfort me?"
Gu Jue shook his head. "No, I’ve considered this issue before when I helped you fight the Insect Beasts and collect ingredients."
"They will be angry, but at the same time, they will also be wary. The Insectoids beguiled Gu Tao into causing such a huge incident on our side. In fact, it’s because their wings are not yet strong enough, and they want to take this opportunity to gradually grow stronger."
But the Insectoids overlooked the existence of Su Wan.
They also overestimated the destructive power of Gu Tao.
Su Wan’s superpower caused Gu Tao’s plan to fall through, as well as the Insectoids’ plan.
Now that Su Wan is the Food God and specially cooks dishes using Insect Beasts as ingredients,
the Insectoids must be even more wary of Su Wan!
Gu Jue kissed his lovely wife on the forehead, "Their increased wariness of you means they won’t easily harm you now. From a psychological perspective, this creates a sort of psychological suppression in the food chain."
Why fear the fierce Star Beasts and not the harmless, adorable ones?
Because the former might consider you a meal!
Su Wan’s eyes suddenly lit up!
"I’ve decided to start training classes to teach everyone how to identify edible Insect Beasts and train more chefs in cooking Insect Beast cuisine!"
Gu Jue smiled.
Su Wan looked up seriously and said, "This way, everyone will gradually stop fearing the Insect Beasts. While the Insectoids lie low, we will not stand still."
"Wanwan is right."
"Oh yeah, Ajue, there’s something else I need to tell you. Although I refused the people from the Mermaid Planet’s offer to become their queen, I promised them that I would go and worship at the tomb of Queen Gaia of the opening nation."
Queen Gaia later left the Mermaid Planet with her lover and lived in anonymity.
She never returned.
The people of the Mermaid Planet, to commemorate this queen, specially built a palace.
This Queen’s Palace serves both as an exhibition hall and the tomb of Queen Gaia.
Gu Jue nodded, "Okay, I’ll be free in a few days, and I’ll accompany you."
Su Wan, "Ajue, can we bring Xiaochen along?"
It’s rare for a family of three to take a long trip together.
Although there may be dangers, the main point is that Xiaochen is much stronger than Su Wan.
If there really is danger, it is likely that the son will protect his mother.
Most importantly, Gu Jue will be accompanying them, which gives Su Wan a great sense of security.
Gu Jue nodded, "Hmm, that’s possible."
Although their couple’s world would be disrupted by the boy,
the thought of being able to send him to the Imperial Palace next year made Gu Jue temporarily endure it.
In the neighboring children’s room, the wolf-eared baby, fast asleep and snoring, had no clue.
His father was ever so eager for him to head to the Imperial Palace soon, to undergo specialized training as an heir...
Though it was settled that they would go to Mermaid Planet to pay homage to Queen Gaia,
Su Wan had to first focus on the Insect Beasts culinary training.
She had gathered all the chefs from the various branches of Su Family’s restaurant.
Teaching them how to recognize which Insect Beasts were edible and which were not.
Su Wan said, "First, this dish is our Su Family restaurant’s secret weapon. The seasoning, too, is unique to our Su Family restaurant. If anyone leaks it, they will be punished for disclosing trade secrets."
"Secondly, when choosing Insect Beast ingredients, one must not cut corners; one must follow my set requirements. Some Insect Beasts look similar, but the texture of their flesh is different. Even among two very alike Insect Beasts, one might be edible, while the other is poisonous. Also, Insect Beasts are evolving."
"If because of someone’s mistake, a serious problem occurs, then that person will be fully responsible for the accident."
"Lastly, starting today, all chefs at the Su Family restaurant branches will receive a 20% salary increase!"
Upon hearing the last point, the chefs immediately burst into cheers.
The Su Family restaurant is the highest-paying restaurant in the entire Federal Empire.
Moreover, the rules set by the owner are crystal clear.
As long as you work according to the rules, it won’t be too hard, the pay can be very high, and there are no messy situations.
Most people felt a strong sense of belonging to the Su Family restaurant.
However, a few could still be swayed by money.
So, in the midst of the Insect Beast cooking class, when Su Wan took a break,
Su Teng came to find her with a heavy heart.
Su Teng: "Xiaowan, you’re selflessly teaching everyone these cooking methods. What if they defect to another place of employment eventually?"
Su Wan: "Among them, there will certainly be those who cannot resist the temptation to defect."
Su Teng was stunned, "Ah?"
Su Wan: "If Su Zhen can defect to a rival restaurant and become opposed to the Su Family restaurant, it’s even more likely for others. Maybe one day, even Uncle could."
Su Teng immediately shook his head vigorously, "I would never! Xiaowan, have faith in your uncle!"
Not only did he own shares in the Su Family restaurant, but his beloved niece was the Food God!
Furthermore, he had a premonition that Xiaowan would invent many more delicious dishes in the future!
Leaving in haste for another job, just after learning a bit of Insect Beast cooking,
would mean the chef’s culinary skills would stop there.
Su Wan knew Uncle had understood.
She smiled and said, "Insect Beasts mutate, so I need to change the ingredient menu regularly. When they leave and don’t update the menu timely, any accidents that happen will be on their own account."
Su Teng’s eyes went wide.
Looking at his beaming niece, he suddenly felt grateful.
Luckily, they were on the same team!
Regularly updating the ingredient menu could also potentially spread to other restaurants.
But Su Wan wasn’t concerned.
Because she already stood at a great height—if another restaurant truly had the capability to take the title of the number one restaurant from the Su Family,
it would serve as a driving force for the Su Family restaurant to keep improving, a worthy rival indeed.
Without a rival, one becomes a lonely expert.
In business, without competition, one becomes short-sighted, and then begins to regress.
Until they eventually fade away.
Soon after, due to Insect Beast cuisine’s growing popularity, a new industry began to develop.
Insect Hunters.
