"Have you heard that the chefs at the Eight Treasures Tower can make vegetarian dishes taste like meat? Is there really such a skill?" Shang Huan asked.
"It can be done," Chen Mu nodded.
"Provided there are the right spices and sufficiently exquisite culinary skills."
Chen Mu could do it himself.
"These chefs are indeed amazing, being able to freely change the taste of ingredients," Shang Huan said with a look of surprise on his face.
The three of them talked while they ate.
Before long, they turned to the topic of exotic beasts invading the medicinal fields and the rise in the price of medicinal herbs.
"If I had known, I would have stocked up on some," Shang Huan said ruefully. "The price of some key herbs has at least doubled!"
What a great opportunity to make money.
"The Lower Courtyard isn't stupid; the Hundred Herbs Pavilion reacted much faster than you," Old Hao smoked and chatted.
Chen Mu realized; no wonder the Underground Market had run out of Nightshade Grass.
