Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Yi Tian decided that tomorrow he would take the strongest in the territory out and catch two bears.

The Yin Yang Giant Panda rolled its eyes, thinking, "Well, that works too."

"Ji ji!"

The Yin Yang Giant Panda called out again, meaning: After you catch those two bears, don’t let them beat me up.

Might be possible after getting caught, they’ll take it out on me.

"Don’t worry! You’re the treasure of our territory, how could we let you get hurt!"

Yi Tian reassured the Yin Yang Giant Panda.

The Yin Yang Giant Panda lingered for a good while, and Yi Tian gave it the last piece of Celestial Heart Bamboo.

As for other spirit fruits, there was generally only one or two left.

Like the Yin Yang Sacred Fruit and the Five Elements Sacred Fruit—only one each.

Not planning to auction these anymore, just putting them in the Points Tower for members to exchange with points.

Yi Tian spent 800,000 Celestial Dao Coins at the auction and bought ten electric saws.

All set for the Yin Yang Giant Panda’s toolkit!

At the daily goods shop, Yi Tian spent ten million Celestial Dao Coins and stocked up all three floors.

In the grains and oil shop, all sorts of foods and seasonings, Yi Tian prepared plenty. Cost a million Celestial Dao Coins to store a batch.

In the drinks shop, Yi Tian spent five million Celestial Dao Coins and bought famous wines from various planets.

Now there are Lords who have set up drink factories and brewing devices. Compared to the beginning of the month, drink prices have dropped a lot.

For alcohol prices, Yi Tian deliberately set it high—one bottle needs 100 points.

Inside the territory, 100 points is enough for five days’ worth of meals.

Fruit drinks, milk, sodas, and such—those are priced cheaper, usually just one point per bottle.

For fruits and veggies, the territory provides them.

A new round of fruit has ripened. Early this morning, Xin Qiji got members of the Galaxy Agriculture Company to pick fruit in the orchard and on the mountain.

They can pick one more time before end of month.

In winter, fruit trees rest for a month.

Same for vegetables—only a few can grow in freezing cold.

Unless they have greenhouse fruits and vegetables.

In the dessert shop, all the flour, fruits and such are supplied by the territory.

Made by dessert chefs, reasonably priced. Generally just costs one day’s meal money.

Apart from the restaurant, these new buildings all together cost ten million Celestial Dao Coins to set up.

Celestial Dao Coin balance: 942 million.

Starting tomorrow, Galaxy Agriculture Company and Galaxy Catering Company will be on duty.

Gu Qianqiu will handle exchanging points for all sorts of currency.

Back at the villa.

Yi Tian opened the Store System, searching for "taste of home."

Yi Tian had promised Fourth Child he’d prepare something tasty for her.

He specially instructed Liyue and Qixin not to cook dinner tonight.

"Since it’s the Lord’s first time using the Store System. You can sync auction information, or rename it."

When Yi Tian opened the Store System, the Celestial Dao Stone prompted him.

"Sync auction information."

Yi Tian didn’t hesitate.

"Wealthiest in the World, sync successful!"

As soon as he finished, the Wealthiest in the World ID appeared in the upper right corner of the interface, with eleven stars below it.

The Store System main page is planet-located.

Yi Tian searched for Earth.

There are thousands of Earth shops officially operating.

Daily goods, veggies and meat... Handcrafts, restaurant food...

Yi Tian found a restaurant called "Lishui Hunan Restaurant" and clicked in.

"Welcome to Lishui Hunan Restaurant, please place your order!"

A voice reached Yi Tian’s ears, mature male, must be at least thirty-five by the sound.

After that voice, a light curtain in front of Yi Tian displayed hundreds of dish names.

Some dishes had pictures, some didn’t.

The ones with pictures were dishes the owner had cooked and snapped with the Celestial Dao Stone, then uploaded to the menu panel.

Each dish is priced based on the ingredients.

Compared to current prices, the boss is a bit of a profiteer—just one plate of greens costs fifty Celestial Dao Coins.

1kg of greens only costs two Celestial Dao Coins.

But that’s the market!

All the restaurants are expensive!

This isn’t Earth.

In Celestial Dao World, time is most important.

Running a restaurant means no time for anything else.

The higher price is all time cost.

Things like produce shops, meat shops—they’re mostly automated, so Lords just need to swap out the food every day to keep it fresh.

Restaurants don’t work like that—they need territory members to cook.

"Kids, pick what you want, anything goes!"

Yi Tian pointed at the Celestial Dao Stone light curtain.

Instantly, little Kiddos climbed all over Yi Tian.

"I want this one!"

"This looks super tasty..."

"I want this!"

"This one, this one."

With seven hands and eight feet, the little Kiddos only ordered dishes with pictures, ignoring anything else.

Have to say, the Lishui Hunan Restaurant owner’s skills are top-notch. Just the looks make you hungry.

He must be a pro chef, graduated from a famous school.

Self-taught chefs can’t get dishes looking this good.

Yi Tian wasn’t like the Kiddos—he ordered a few picture-less dishes he thought seemed good.

All told, they ordered more than fifty dishes before the Kiddos finally stopped.

If they can’t finish, Little White and the others can eat.

"Liyue, Qixin, any favorites?"

Yi Tian handed the "menu" to Liyue and Qixin.

"Wow, such beautiful dishes, so many! We have to up our cooking game, for sure."

Liyue and Qixin dazzled.

It’s their first time realizing food can be made like this.

Other than barbecue, all they know is steaming, boiling, frying, at most ten dishes.

"And this is just a tiny part of my people’s cuisine. If you’re talking food, I think my people could rank in the cosmos."

Huaxia’s cuisine numbers in the tens of thousands; wherever you go, you’ll find new flavors.
