Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1261 - 1142: Things Got Really Interesting

But now, the products of the Zaohe Group aren’t just sought after in the later generations, they are equally coveted here, regarded as rare objects.

Moreover, observing the demeanor of these officials, they treat it as if it’s a priceless treasure, holding it like it’s an invaluable diamond cup, rather than a cheap glass cup.

Watching all this unfold, Lin Yi could only chuckle and shake his head, given the differing perceptions that lead to such a varied worldview.

When Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan stepped in, the civil and military officials all promptly stood up, greeting Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan loudly.

In response, Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan gestured for everyone to sit down, indicating that formalities were unnecessary.

However, as Lin Yi walked further inside, he noticed that many officials, even as they stood up to greet him, were still holding onto the glass cup cautiously, as if afraid it might fall and shatter.

Seeing the people’s expressions, once Lin Yi reached his seat, he addressed everyone, saying:

"I see you all seem to like this Glazed Bottle very much. In that case, each of you may take back the used Glazed Bottle from the banquet to your residence."

This announcement instantly thrilled the civil and military officials, smiles of delight spreading across their faces.

They then regarded the glass cup in their hands even more carefully, wary of any potential damage, for this was an item bestowed by His Majesty. From this moment on, it belonged to them, and they were fearful of even the slightest blemish.

If His Majesty wasn’t watching, these officials might even have wanted to tuck it into their robes for safekeeping.

Following these words, a thunderous wave of gratitude erupted from below.

Lin Yi, unfazed, simply waved his hand, signaling that the dishes could now be served.

As his words fell, small carts were pushed in, bringing in plates of dishes none of them had ever seen before.

Upon seeing these dishes, the eyes of the civil and military officials widened with surprise.

This was their first time encountering such food; throughout their lives, they had never witnessed anything like it.

Not only did the dishes emit a rich fragrance that tickled their noses, making them greedily inhale the aroma, but the colors were also exceedingly tempting. For the people of Dayou, who mostly relied on steaming and boiling, witnessing stir-fried dishes was unprecedented.

Suddenly, they began to salivate, their reactions akin to commoners outside upon seeing meat, their throats involuntarily moving up and down, including those holding lofty positions.

One could say that, in this moment, their dignified images were all but forgotten. If the common folk outside witnessed this, they’d undoubtedly gape in astonishment.

Incredible, these high-ranking officials and ministers were just like them, unable to resist drooling at the sight of delicious food!

Lin Yi, having watched similar scenes before, was accustomed to this.

He knew the standard here all too well; when he first arrived, he couldn’t approve of the cuisine.

It’s no exaggeration to say they were wasting prime ingredients. Nowadays, these are all items brought from the 21st century.

Although these dishes weren’t crafted by master chefs, but by the cooks of the Zaohe Group, they were more than enough to utterly overshadow the local culinary skills in Dayou.

Witnessing this, Lin Yi didn’t rush them to begin eating. Instead, he leisurely reached for a Glazed Bottle on the table in front of him, and to the surprise of all present, Lin Yi unscrewed the red cap with a pop.

This move left the officials dumbfounded, unsure of the Emperor’s intent in unscrewing the bottle cap.

Isn’t it time to eat? Why tamper with what seemed like decorative Glazed Bottles?

As they pondered this, and while the crowd was puzzled by Lin Yi’s actions, Lin Yi simply poured the water from the Glazed Bottle into a fine glass cup before him.

As the crystal-clear water filled the glass cup, the astonishment within the hearts of the civil and military officials did not diminish; they couldn’t fathom why Lin Yi did this, nor why the water from the Glazed Bottle was poured into the cup. Could the Emperor intend to drink it?

Indeed, amidst their confusion, Lin Yi’s voice resonated, as did his halted gestures. Looking at the now-filled Glazed Bottle before him, he spoke:
