"Slurp!"
Ouyang Zongheng wiped his beard as he used his chopsticks to pick up a few strands of Dry-Mixed Noodles and sent them into his mouth. Even though this Dry-Mixed Noodles looked a lot shabbier than Red Braised Meat and Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs … at least he had paid for it!
Oh?! Once it entered his mouth, a rich fragrance burst forth, causing Ouyang Zongheng's eyes to immediately widen. He subconsciously exerted force in his mouth and with a slurping sound, he abruptly sucked in the noodles.
The oily juice splattered in all directions as the fragrance overflowed.
Even though the fragrance of the Dry-Mixed Noodles was not as rich as the Egg-Fried Rice or as alluring as the Red Braised Meat, it was this faint fragrance that made it all the more alluring. Ouyang Zongheng could not stop once he started sucking in the noodles. The sound of Ouyang Zongheng slurping instantly resounded throughout the store.
Ouyang Xiaoyi happily took a sip of the Fish Head Tofu Soup. The mellow taste of the fish soup spread out on the tip of her tongue and she was completely intoxicated by it. It was as if she had turned into a fish and was freely swimming in a milky white ocean. Occasionally, she would pull off a piece of coral made of tofu and happily eat it.
"Slurp!"
The sound of slurping noodles rang out, and Ouyang Xiaoyi's beautiful intoxication was mercilessly shattered. The anger of suddenly being pulled back from her fantasy made her turn her head angrily and look at her father, who was slurping on a few noodles beside her.
"Can't you lower your voice while eating noodles? You're interrupting my fish soup! Smelly dad! "Ouyang Xiaoyi pouted as she angrily complained.
"Pfft … Cough cough cough!"
Ouyang Zongheng's eyes widened and the sound of slurping noodles immediately came to an abrupt halt. Then, his entire face flushed red as he directly covered his mouth and started coughing … Alright, this fellow ate too hastily and choked on his noodles.
Ouyang Zongheng's eyes widened as he snatched the cup of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine that Ouyang Zhen was about to bring to his mouth and gulped it down in one gulp. He immediately felt a sense of comfort!
"Ha! Awesome! "Ouyang Zongheng stroked his beard and said in a satisfied manner.
Suddenly, he smacked his lips and his nose abruptly widened. What the heck … What is this smell! Wine? Such fragrant wine?!
Ouyang Zongheng glanced at the celadon cup in his hand, then looked at Ouyang Di, who was holding a wine jar and pouring wine into his cup, and grinned.
"Brat, hurry up and fill up your father's bowl! How could you not invite your father for such a fine wine? Damn it, double the training when we get back! "
The three Ouyang brothers were speechless.
Ouyang Xiaoyi: "…"
"Slurp!" Ouyang Zongheng drank a cup of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine and continued his noodle sucking journey.
…
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the entire Ouyang family happily slumped on their chairs. Eating and drinking to their heart's content was the most relaxing moment. The satisfaction they felt after tasting delicious food made them want to laugh out loud.
Bu Fang wiped off the water stains on his hands and walked out of the kitchen. Looking at the lazy family, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"A total of 320 crystals and 100 gold coins. Thank you for your patronage," Bu Fang said to Ouyang Zongheng, who was sitting at the side and patting his stomach.
Ouyang Zongheng, who was patting his stomach, suddenly froze. He felt as if the whole world had darkened … "320 crystals, how can you girls eat so much!"
Under Ouyang Zongheng's extremely reluctant gaze, Bu Fang put away the crystals and gold coins and dusted his hands. Bu Fang was also very satisfied.
After he finished collecting the gold coins, the system's serious voice rang out in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for achieving a turnover of 20,000 crystals. You have completed the short-term goal and will soon receive the system reward. The system reward is being released …"
Bu Fang was startled for a moment. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up and he let out a long breath. It turned out that he had already achieved a turnover of 20,000 crystals without realizing it. It was not easy at all.
Achieving a turnover of 20,000 crystals meant that he could obtain an amount of true energy equivalent to 10,000 crystals. This meant that his cultivation had finally advanced from Battle-Spirit to Battle-King.
"I am finally a man who can be called a Battle-King!"
Bu Fang happily thought to himself. Just as he was about to check the system reward, Ouyang Zongheng suddenly moved closer to him. He was so close that Bu Fang could even smell the oily smell from the Dry-Mixed Noodles on his body.
Bu Fang could not help but furrow his brows. He took a step back and indifferently looked at Ouyang Zongheng.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't come so close to me," Bu Fang expressionlessly said.
Ouyang Zongheng's movements immediately froze. He awkwardly smiled and patted his body as he said to Bu Fang, "Owner Bu … It's like this. The reason I came here today is actually because I have an important matter to discuss with you."
"Speak," Bu Fang said.
"Look, Owner Bu's culinary skills are so good that no words can describe its deliciousness. Owner Bu wouldn't wish for the delicacies you personally cooked to be hidden in this store and ignored, right? That would be an insult to Owner Bu's culinary skills! "Ouyang Zongheng said as he stroked his beard.
Bu Fang indifferently looked at him and signaled for him to continue.
"Owner Bu should know about the Spring Festival. Tomorrow is the Spring Festival and on the second day, the imperial city will host the Hundred Family Banquet. At that time, all the famous chefs in the Light Wind Empire will come from all over the country to cook for the Hundred Family Banquet in the Gate of Heavenly Mystery. This is the perfect time to let everyone know about Owner Bu's culinary skills!" Ouyang Zongheng said with a smile as he stared at Bu Fang with glowing eyes.
"So, Owner Bu won't consider participating?"
"Spring Festival …" Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. He recalled the few petty officials who arrogantly came to his store to cause trouble a few days ago. It seemed like they also wanted him to participate in some Hundred Family Banquet …
"I don't care what Hundred Family Banquet it is. Coming to the store to cause trouble is your fault. So, Bu Fang asked Xiao Bai to strip those petty officials and throw them out."
Bu Fang had almost forgotten about this matter. Now that Ouyang Zongheng brought it up, he suddenly remembered.
"This Hundred Family Banquet sounds very impressive." Bu Fang nodded as he looked at Ouyang Zongheng.
"Not participating, not interested," Bu Fang indifferently said.
"Ah? What? Not participating? Why? "
Ouyang Zongheng's expression stiffened and he immediately asked in confusion. In his opinion, a chef participating in the Hundred Family Banquet was as important as a scholar participating in the imperial examinations.
As a chef, Bu Fang was actually not participating in the empire's Hundred Family Banquet. This … was simply unreasonable!
"Troublesome. Hundred Family Banquet, Hundred Family Banquet. It sounds like a troublesome matter. I just want to quietly stay in the store and cook delicacies. If they come, I welcome them," Bu Fang seriously and sincerely said. These were indeed his thoughts. He was a person who was afraid of trouble.
His wish was to hold a cup of hot tea, sit at the entrance of the store, and watch the world change and the flowers bloom and wilt. It was that simple.
"Owner Bu, there will be a selection for the chefs in this Hundred Family Banquet. The person who gets first place in the customers' votes will receive a reward from the empire. Don't you want to know what the reward is?" Ouyang Zongheng stared at Bu Fang and said.
Reward? The empire's Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit had already been taken away by him. What other reward could there be that could pique his interest?
Abrupt Mission 2: The host must participate in the Hundred Family Banquet held by the Light Wind Empire and obtain first place in the customers' comments. The host will receive a reward from the empire.
(Crush everything, young man.)
Mission Reward: Recipe for Spirit Turtle Egg Tarts.
Bu Fang sighed in his heart. He was afraid of trouble, but sometimes, the system would be very humane and suggest troublesome abrupt missions.
