Quite a few guests had arrived, and Lu Zheng personally cooked sixteen dishes — eight hot and eight cold.
Because Zen Master Dejie was present, Lu Zheng specially prepared a vegetarian feast.
This spread of dishes made everyone, including Zen Master Dejie, truly understand what "vegetarian banquet" meant!
"Is this... tofu?"
"Peanut oil, and these vegetarian meats are all soy products, some made from wheat," Lu Zheng said as he picked up a piece of vegetarian chicken with chopsticks. "I assure you there's not a trace of meat."
In fact, Zen Master Dejie had previously mentioned that he wasn't particular; a simple steamed bun and a bowl of clear water would suffice. However, Lu Zheng insisted that there was no issue and promised to satisfy everyone.
Now, these dishes brought those who had tasted Lu Zheng's culinary skills to a new level of appreciation for them.
"Brother-in-law is amazing!"
"Smells so good, just like real meat!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
