The moment the roasted goose walked out, all the students who witnessed this scene were stunned.

Even Chen Nuoyi, the sales assistant, widened her beautiful eyes in shock.

This, this can't be explained by mere reflexes anymore!

It felt like a fairy tale had descended into reality.

Seeing that his trick had subdued the students, Su Yuan smiled slightly and said loudly:

"Fellow students, this is the new product from our school cafeteria, the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose. It's a new type of delicacy that can move on its own and slice itself into pieces for serving."

"This dish not only uses exquisite ingredients, balancing color, aroma, and taste, but also has excellent visual appeal. Please feel free to try it, everyone."

Of course, these were all words Su Yuan made up to trick people.

The reason the roasted goose could move was simply because Su Yuan used the Corpse Controlling Technique from the Ancient Corpse Refining Method, controlling the roasted goose's movement with the Soul Summoning Bell.

After all, even though the roasted goose was cooked, it was still a Walking Corpse that could be driven normally.

Would a Walking Corpse care if it was cooked or not?

This was the method Su Yuan had mentioned earlier to attract customers, using a roast goose that would automatically cut and plate itself as a selling point to satisfy the diners' curiosity.

And clearly, innocent and naive high school students couldn't resist such temptation.

Would such an overt display of corpse control attract the attention of relevant authorities?

Su Yuan had specifically looked into it and found... this world didn't seem to have developed zombie culture. The nails used for the Soul Suppressing Nail and the Soul Summoning Bell in his hand were bought from a funeral supplies store to make do.

This world was a proper Cultivation World; for one thing, it didn't have so much supernatural literature, and for another, this era had not yet unearthed the Devilish Dao's corpse refining methods from ancient inheritances.

So even if he brought the Ancient Corpse Refining Method into the open, as long as he didn't say anything, who would know?

Of course, there was also a possibility that the corpse refining method had already been discovered in some ancient inheritance, but was banned because it was too harmful to heaven and humanity.

But even if it was the latter, Su Yuan wasn't afraid.

He was just a goose seller. The roast goose he made could move on its own. Who could possibly link a detestable zombie with a delicious and tempting roast goose?

No matter how you looked at it, Su Yuan was in the right.

"I'll have a portion of this Dragon Scale Roasted Goose."

Soon, a curious student came to the serving window and swiped his meal card with a beep.

Su Yuan smiled and asked:

"Which part of the roasted goose would you like, student?"

"The breast."

Before he finished speaking, the students watched as the server gently shook his bell. The roasted goose flapped its wings and skillfully used a carving knife to cut off over a pound of breast meat from its own chest.

Cutting, plating, and serving were all done in one go, leaving everyone mesmerized.

This scene was unbelievable to everyone present.

In this era of universal cultivation, controlling objects to move was not difficult, but making a roasted goose move like a living creature was not something an ordinary Qi Cultivator could achieve.

Clearly, this was a secret technique worthy of passing down through generations! A culinary performance that was astonishing!

The first student to buy the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose had already decided that as long as the goose meat wasn't too unpalatable, he would come back every few days just to watch this performance.

Thinking this, the student eagerly picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of goose meat into his mouth.

"How is it? How does the goose taste?"

A classmate he knew asked curiously.

After chewing and swallowing the goose meat repeatedly, the student fell into deep silence. Only when the surrounding students became anxious did he suddenly say decisively:

"This goose meat is sour! None of you should buy it!"

Upon hearing this, the students were all greatly alarmed.

Was this seemingly irresistible roast goose just for show?

But in the next second, they saw the student quickly pull out his meal card and, before anyone could react, shout:

"Ten portions! Give me ten portions! All parts!"

The other students: "..."

What a sly old fox!

At this moment, the students had no more doubts and all took out their meal cards, eager to try it for themselves!

As a new product, the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose, under Su Yuan's operation, became a complete hit on campus.

In less than half an hour, a full hundred portions of Dragon Scale Roasted Goose were sold out. The once plump roasted goose was now reduced to just a skeleton, having been completely carved.

Without its physical body, the soul sealed within its body officially ascended—which was to say, it was scattered. Modern cultivation world research indicated that reincarnation simply didn't exist.

"Su Yuan, Su Yuan, we sold a hundred portions of Dragon Scale Roasted Goose just now. Did we earn twelve hundred taels in one go?!"

Chen Nuoyi asked excitedly.

Su Yuan nodded seriously. Even he felt that the students were a bit too enthusiastic. He had been expecting to sell some more in the evening, but it sold out in half a noon. Many students had even placed pre-orders directly with him.

Seriously, a dish that costs tens or even hundreds, and you just eat it?

So I'm the only poor soul here?

Oh, right, and this person next to me.

It was at this moment that Su Yuan suddenly realized he had overlooked one point when calculating his share of the income: the situation where his Dragon Scale Roasted Goose was in short supply and needed increased production.

If he could sell two, or even three, roasted geese a day, then earning twenty to thirty thousand a month each wouldn't be a dream!

"Su Yuan, thank you."

At this moment, Chen Nuoyi's sincere voice rang out:

"If it weren't for you helping me make money, I'd have trouble even eating."

Su Yuan turned his head and met the girl's bright and earnest beautiful eyes, momentarily lost in thought.

He coughed lightly and smiled:

"Then you'll have to learn my Roasted Meat skills properly from now on, especially my method of controlling the roasted goose with a bell, which isn't so easy to learn!"

The girl quickly said, "Okay, I will definitely watch and learn carefully, and strive to truly help you."

And while the two were chatting, a steady and powerful voice suddenly sounded from the window:

"Su Yuan?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Yuan's body stiffened involuntarily. He turned his head and saw his stern-faced homeroom teacher, Yue Lin.

"Teacher... Teacher Yue?"

For some reason, Su Yuan's heart began to pound. Although he had reported his part-time job at the cafeteria to his homeroom teacher, he still felt like a couple caught by their parents while dating.

Perhaps it was because he had tainted the sacred first place in class?

Just as Su Yuan didn't know how to respond, Yue Lin's tone softened:

"You two certainly have a knack for it, snatching the spotlight from all the other food serving windows as soon as you started."

"But you also need to be careful not to let your part-time job affect your studies. With the college entrance examination approaching, you should prioritize your academics."

"Yes, Teacher Yue!"

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi quickly responded in unison.

Then, Yue Lin changed the subject and said:

"I came late today and didn't get to buy your Dragon Scale Roasted Goose. Remember to save a few portions for me tomorrow."
