Ah Lu stared at the blue-and-white porcelain plate in front of the big black dog. The orange-red steaming hot Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs was placed on top of the plate. He was completely dumbfounded as he stared blankly at the plate. The chicken drumstick in his hand stopped moving and he even forgot to chew the meat in his mouth.
This Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs was truly fragrant. It was even more fragrant than the roast meat cooked by the old man who taught them in Qingyang Town. Under this aroma, Ah Lu felt that the chicken drumstick in his hand had become a little bland and tasteless.
Ah Lu glanced at the chicken drumstick in his hand and then grinned. He stuffed the drumstick into his mouth and swallowed it after chewing a few times.
Just as the big black dog was about to enjoy the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs alone, its body suddenly trembled. It jerked its head up and noticed Ah Lu's fixed gaze on it. The greed and desire in Ah Lu's eyes were all directed at the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in front of it.
"This human actually dared to covet the Lord Gou's Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs?!" Blacky was furious. It stood up and turned around to hide the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. It faced Ah Lu with its butt and wagged its tail in a rather arrogant manner.
Ah Lu's line of sight was blocked and he reluctantly gave up on pursuing the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. He smacked his lips and swept his tongue around his lips as if he wanted to lick away the aroma of the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in the air.
"Keep your tongue. Can you not act like a chef who has never seen the world? Don't tell others that you're my brother like this! " Ah Wei frowned. His face was scrunched up in disgust. Even though he had to admit that the aroma of the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs was not bad … his actions were not as unbearable as Ah Lu's.
When Bu Fang heard the noise behind him, he turned around and raised his eyebrows. He looked at the two strange people in surprise.
A fat man wearing an apron and a skinny man carrying a big black wok on his back …
"Why are they acting so unconventionally? Are they here to cause trouble?"
"Who are you?" Bu Fang calmly asked.
After being reprimanded by Ah Wei, Ah Lu reluctantly retracted his tongue. He was still savoring the taste of the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs.
Ah Wei glanced at Bu Fang and was a little puzzled. He suspiciously sized up Bu Fang before asking, "Did you make this Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs?"
It looked and smelled. Ah Wei did not even need to take a closer look to conclude that this was definitely a classic and outstanding Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs!
He did not even look and did not need to take a closer look to make Ah Wei was certain that this was an outstanding Sweet 'Ribs. Impossible … Ah Wei subconsciously shook his head. He was very confident in his culinary skills. Ever since he had received the old man's training, his culinary skills had skyrocketed. It was definitely not something an ordinary chef could compare to.
"I don't believe you, you lied to me … Go and call the real chef out," Ah Wei said as he glanced at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang was taken aback. He looked at Ah Wei as if he was looking at an idiot. What did he mean by calling out the real chef? "I, Bu Fang, am standing right here. Who else is there to look for?"
Bu Fang could not be bothered with this unreasonable fellow. He turned around and stepped into the store, heading toward the kitchen.
Ah Wei looked at Bu Fang's back and frowned. "Did I make a mistake?" The speechless look in Bu Fang's eyes before he turned around made Ah Wei doubt his life …
"Come, Ah Lu. Let's go into the store and take a look," Ah Wei said. He raised his sharp chin and gave a faint smile. "I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting store the moment I arrived in the imperial city."
Ah Wei muttered to himself. However, there was no response even after a long time. He immediately turned his head around in suspicion and saw Ah Lu wriggling toward Blacky with small steps. His hand was even continuously pulling out a few chicken drumsticks from the pocket of his apron.
"Cute little doggy, can I exchange two chicken drumsticks for a piece of your Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs? Is two not enough? Then three? Four? "
As Ah Lu wriggled, the fat on his face was also trembling. He was truly captivated by the taste of the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. Ah Lu's favorite thing to do was to eat. He was especially sensitive to meat.
"Exchange your sister! Hurry up and come in! "Ah Wei turned his head and saw this scene. His lungs almost exploded from anger as he immediately roared.
When Ah Lu heard Ah Wei's angry roar, he still unwillingly walked toward Ah Wei's direction. In the end, both of them stepped into the store.
The layout of the store was very cozy. At least, it gave Ah Lu and Ah Wei a good first impression. Especially the cleanliness of the store, that spotless feeling simply made them happy.
"Bro … Bro! Hurry up and look at the menu behind you! " Ah Lu stuffed the four drumsticks in his hand into his mouth. With a tinge of anger, he fiercely bit down on them. With a crunching sound, all four drumsticks were swallowed. Then, he said.
When Ah Wei heard this, he turned around to take a look. In an instant, his eyebrows twitched and he immediately cursed, "F * ck … This store is really shady, even more shady than our store!"
Because their store in Qingyang Town was located at the intersection of the Wildlands, the prices of their dishes were extremely expensive. However, there was a reason why they were so expensive. The ingredients for their dishes were all personally captured from the spirit beasts and spirit herbs in the Wildlands. Furthermore, after being meticulously cooked, they were even able to retain the spirit energy within the ingredients. Not only did they taste good, but they were also beneficial to one's cultivation. This was the reason why their dishes were so expensive.
However, why were the dishes of this store also so expensive? Could it be that the owner of this store also personally went to the Wildlands to capture ingredients?
However, even if he personally went to capture ingredients, the prices were still a little too ridiculously expensive. Their store also had dishes that were worth crystals, but there were only one or two of those dishes. However, in this store … everything was paid with crystals.
Gulp.
Ah Wei was a little unconvinced.
"Where's the owner?! I want to order! "Ah Wei shouted.
Bu Fang slowly walked out of the kitchen and glanced at Ah Wei. The other party's indignation seemed to be completely displayed on his face, and there was even a hint of provocation in it.
"Oh, what do you want to order? Say it." Bu Fang was expressionless.
"Brother, let's order the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs! I really want to eat … "Ah Lu mumbled from the side.
"Don't talk to me while you're eating!" Ah Wei grumbled as he glanced at Ah Lu. To be honest, Ah Lu's words slightly tempted him, but he still held back in the end.
"Give me two servings of Egg-Fried Rice. Only the simplest dish can show the level of a chef … Besides, the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs is so expensive. If it doesn't taste good, our money would be wasted!" Ah Wei said.
Bu Fang glanced at the two strange brothers and the corner of his mouth twitched. He did not say anything and only told them to wait for a while before stepping back into the kitchen.
Ah Lu and Ah Wei found a seat and sat down. Even though the interior of the store was completely different from the environment outside and filled their hearts with warmth, the interior of the store was actually not that luxurious. It was just like a very ordinary store.
"Brother, other people eat lavish meals during the Spring Festival, but we're eating dry Egg-Fried Rice in this store … Why don't we order another serving of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs? Otherwise, red braised pork is fine too … "Ah Lu said as he swallowed another chicken drumstick.
"Hmph … Do you really plan on contributing all the crystals in your wallet to this store? Are you stupid?! "Ah Wei sneered.
He sat on the chair with the big black wok on his back and snorted.
Ah Lu's face was immediately filled with disappointment. His fat jiggled. "Not being able to eat meat … is too sad." Ah Lu muttered. Then, he pulled out two chicken drumsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, fiercely biting them.
Suddenly, the "kji kji" chewing sound in his mouth stopped. His chubby nose twitched violently and his eyes immediately lit up as he looked toward the direction of the kitchen.
There, a thin figure slowly walked out with two plates of piping hot Egg-Fried Rice in his hands.
