Ouyang Xiaoyi and Yang Chen followed closely behind Bu Fang and curiously looked at the bustling alleyway. The crowd surrounding the alleyway made Ouyang Xiaoyi quite excited.
The owner of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant was indeed extraordinary. His battle had actually attracted so many people. Was he planning to let the entire imperial city know about it?
Qian Bao stood at the alleyway with a smile on his face. He was very happy as he looked at the surrounding crowd of onlookers. With so many people, once the news of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's chef defeating the black-hearted store's owner got out, the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's reputation would become even more popular in the imperial city. At that time, more and more people would come to eat at the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant.
"Aiyo, Owner Bu, you're finally here. Look, there are so many people paying attention to this knife skill competition. Owner Bu, don't go easy on me," Qian Bao said to Bu Fang with a smile on his face.
Bu Fang gave him a meaningful glance. Bu Fang clearly knew what Qian Bao was planning. Wasn't he planning to use him as a stepping stone to make the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant famous?
There was actually nothing wrong with this idea because the store's reputation had been extremely popular in the imperial city recently. If the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant could obtain victory in the competition, its reputation would rise to another level.
However, Qian Bao was certain that Master Zhao's knife skill would be able to defeat Bu Fang.
Bu Fang nodded and walked toward one of the tables. There were many fresh ingredients placed on the table. Heavy snowflakes were fluttering down from the sky and wrapped around the ingredients.
When Master Zhao saw Bu Fang, he brandished a broad-headed kitchen knife as if to demonstrate his power. The shiny kitchen knife was constantly spinning in his hand and the blade was reflecting light.
The whistling sound caused by the spinning kitchen knife suddenly became very obvious in the alleyway. The originally noisy crowd in the surroundings could not help but quiet down as they held their breaths to watch the knife skill competition between the two.
"Owner Bu, I have trained my knife skill hard for more than ten years. Today, I will definitely not go easy on you. I will give it my all to compete with you," Master Zhao said. Master Zhao said. Then, he fiercely slammed the table and a round little potato on the table was sent flying into the air.
Master Zhao's eyes sharpened. The kitchen knife in his hand instantly slashed out. The kitchen knife kept spinning in the air, giving off the sound of cutting ingredients.
With a tearing sound, Master Zhao's kitchen knife slashed out horizontally and finally stopped steadily in front of him. Strips of perfectly sliced potatoes were stacked on the back of the kitchen knife.
This move was very beautiful. At the very least, the passersby in the surroundings were shocked by this move. They all clapped and cheered.
Master Zhao placed the shredded potatoes on the plate. With a confident smile on his face, he looked at Bu Fang provocatively.
Bu Fang was expressionless. He was not the least bit shocked by Master Zhao's action of cutting potatoes in mid-air.
Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was standing beside Bu Fang, snorted at Master Zhao's provocative gaze.
"Tell me, how are we going to compete? I still need to go back to sleep after this," Bu Fang said calmly. His voice was as calm as still water.
However, when the others heard Bu Fang's calm words, they could tell that he was lacking in confidence. Immediately, the gazes of many people toward Bu Fang were filled with playfulness and ridicule. There were even boos coming from the crowd.
Qian Bao was very happy as he watched this scene. The more ruthlessly he could trample on Owner Bu, the better the reputation of his Immortal Phoenix Restaurant would be.
"Let's compete in knife skills. We will compete in three categories: speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. The so-called speed refers to the speed at which you cut the ingredients. Owner Bu should be very clear about this. Accuracy refers to the accuracy and precision when cutting the ingredients. Ruthlessness refers to the dissection of meat ingredients. Today, we will compete in these three categories," Master Zhao solemnly said to Bu Fang after he placed the kitchen knife on the chopping board.
Bu Fang nodded. He was not surprised in the slightest. This was the only way to compete in knife skills.
"Let's begin," Bu Fang said.
"Very well! Then I will start with the first category. There are a hundred radishes prepared here. Let's calculate the time needed to finish cutting these one hundred radishes to determine the winner. How about it? "Master Zhao said.
Cutting radishes again … Bu Fang glanced at the pile of radishes on the table. The corners of his mouth twitched and he softly agreed.
"Then watch carefully, Owner Bu! I will start first! " When Master Zhao heard Bu Fang agree, his fighting spirit immediately soared. The chef robe on his body fluttered under his aura.
Master Zhao hooked his hand and took out another kitchen knife. He actually picked up two kitchen knives at the same time to cut the radishes.
First, his kitchen knife gently moved, grabbing a radish and placing it on the chopping board. Then, he quickly chopped down with both knives. His speed was extremely fast and his rhythm was clear. In less than a breath's time, the radish was neatly cut into pieces. After he finished cutting one radish, Master Zhao was already preparing the second one.
Master Zhao was indeed a chef who had practiced knife skills for more than ten years. His understanding and mastery of knife skills had already reached a realm that many chefs could not compare to. Just by using two knives, it was already extremely difficult for an ordinary person to accurately cut radishes. Furthermore, his speed was so fast that it was almost too much for the eyes to take in.
The one hundred radishes were all accurately cut into pieces by Master Zhao in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
When the last piece of radish was cut, Master Zhao simultaneously chopped down on the chopping board with both knives. He took a step back and let out a long breath. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Bursts of cheers and exclamations instantly rang out around him. This greatly satisfied Master Zhao's vanity. He believed that with this kind of knife skills, Bu Fang would definitely not be able to compare.
"Owner Bu, it's your turn!" Master Zhao aggressively said.
Bu Fang gave him a glance and imperceptibly shook his head as he lightly exhaled.
"Since you're courting death, I'll fulfill your wish. The system wants to teach you how to be a person. If I don't show some tricks … it won't be justifiable," Bu Fang muttered. Then, he did not use the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. Instead, he took out an ordinary kitchen knife.
After twirling the knife around, Bu Fang lightly flicked the edge of the knife and then nodded.
"Then let's start the countdown!" Qian Bao said with a smile. His face was filled with confidence. Master Zhao could be said to have exceeded his limits today. His performance was extremely impressive.
"Oh, let's begin." Bu Fang simply said. Then, he stretched out his hand. True energy surged into his palm and he suddenly slammed it on the table. He controlled the true energy so that the table would not be destroyed. Instead, the radishes on the table were sent flying into the air.
Buzz …
In that instant, Bu Fang's eyes became as sharp as an eagle's eyes. His entire aura changed in an instant.
One hundred radishes floated in the air. Then, the kitchen knife in Bu Fang's hand began to rotate automatically. The speed of the rotation sent chills down everyone's spine. That kitchen knife seemed to have turned into a ray of light as it instantly slashed down.
Splatter! Splatter!
Everyone was dumbfounded. Then, they looked at the scene in front of them with a face full of disbelief. In their field of vision, everything around them seemed to have disappeared. The only thing left were the one hundred radishes floating in the air and streams of light exploding out from the darkness. Those streams of light were like shooting stars streaking across the night sky as they streaked across the radishes.
When the darkness dissipated, everyone's field of vision was restored. Then, they realized that the one hundred radishes floating in the air had all exploded. Each piece was cut into cube-sized diced radishes. They were even more exquisite than Master Zhao's...
Rumble!
As if it was raining radishes, Bu Fang single-handedly carried a basket. The falling radishes fell into the basket one after another. When the last radish landed on the basket, it tumbled for a while before calming down. Bu Fang had completed the first segment of the competition.
The time taken … was four breaths. This was counting the time it took for the radishes to fall into the basket.
The alleyway instantly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at Bu Fang. The confident smile on Master Zhao's face had long since frozen. He looked as comical as a clown.
Looking at Bu Fang's calm expression, Master Zhao felt as if ten thousand roasted pigs were galloping through his heart … Damn it! Are you f * cking knife skills? You must be using a cheat, right?!
