"This aroma..."
Ah Lu gulped down the entire chicken drumstick in his mouth. His gaze was already completely focused on the Egg-Fried Rice that Bu Fang had brought over.
From afar, the Egg-Fried Rice looked as if it was emitting a golden glow. It was extremely dazzling and completely attracted their attention.
The aroma of the egg and rice drifting over mixed together and gushed into Ah Lu and Ah Wei's noses, causing both of them to reveal an intoxicated expression.
When Bu Fang placed the Egg-Fried Rice in front of the two of them, Ah Lu eagerly picked up the spoon and started eating.
He was truly tempted by the aroma of the Egg-Fried Rice. The aroma of eggs was actually a type of aroma that could excite a person's appetite.
With a scoop, a gap appeared on the Egg-Fried Rice. The eighty-percent cooked egg liquid was sticky and elongated like a silk thread. However, the aroma that had always been wrapped in the rice instantly burst out from the gap and surged out, drowning Ah Lu's entire body.
"Ahh!" Ah Lu let out a muffled groan. Then, he directly swallowed the spoonful of rice that he scooped up. His eyes, which were almost invisible due to the fatty meat, suddenly widened.
He excitedly looked at Ah Wei. After swallowing the rice, he said in disbelief, "Brother … This Egg-Fried Rice is really delicious!"
"The eggs he used should be the eggs of the third grade spirit beast, Thunderstorm Pigeon. However, the quality of his rice is also very good. It is not the slightest bit inferior to the Spirit Energy Rice that the old man meticulously took care of. Furthermore, the degree of control over the heat is really high. The eighty-percent cooked egg liquid can rely on the heat of the ingredients after it is taken out of the wok to solidify the instant the egg liquid enters the mouth. This requires extremely precise control! Hmm … In short, it's delicious! "
Ah Lu said in a muffled voice. After he finished speaking, he impatiently immersed himself in the battle over the Egg-Fried Rice.
Bu Fang was slightly surprised. Looking at the fatty who was engrossed in eating, his heart was also slightly moved. This fatty was actually able to grasp the important cooking procedures and techniques of this Egg-Fried Rice with just one taste. Moreover, he was able to understand the ins and outs of these ingredients. His deduction was basically correct.
This undoubtedly showed that this fatty was also a chef, and not an ordinary one at that.
Ah Wei's heart skipped a beat when he saw Ah Lu's expression. He knew very well how picky his younger brother was when it came to non-meat dishes. He could be very tolerant when it came to meat dishes, but when it came to non-meat dishes, he would become very picky.
Ah Wei's Egg-Fried Rice was also served. He was not as impatient as Ah Lu. Instead, he carefully admired the color and aroma of the Egg-Fried Rice. Only after he had a grasp of the taste did he taste the Egg-Fried Rice.
It had to be said that the taste of the Egg-Fried Rice had indeed exceeded Ah Wei's expectations. It was so delicious that he was at a loss. However, this was not the main point. The main point was that the Egg-Fried Rice actually contained a dense amount of spirit energy.
Why does this Egg-Fried Rice contain so much spiritual energy? This was completely illogical.
Therefore, under Ah Lu's astonished gaze, Ah Wei ordered another dish …
After eating a few dishes cooked by Bu Fang, Ah Wei completely understood why the store's dishes were so expensive. It was because all of these dishes actually contained spirit energy and the density of the spirit energy was completely beyond Ah Wei's expectations. It was even denser and denser than the dishes in their store.
"You're welcome to come again," Bu Fang indifferently said to the two figures walking out of the store after putting away the crystals.
The two brothers, Ah Lu and Ah Wei, silently walked out of the store. As they walked amidst the snowstorm, Ah Lu did not even bother eating the chicken drumstick as a serious look appeared in his eyes.
If Bu Fang also participated in this year's Hundred Family Banquet, based on the quality of the dishes they just ate, they would not have the slightest chance of getting first place if they did not act seriously … The pressure that Bu Fang gave them was too great.
No wonder the old man said that there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons on the continent and told them not to be too arrogant. They had just arrived at the imperial city and they were already dealt a blow.
"Brother, I feel like we're going to lose against Owner Bu …" Ah Lu asked Ah Wei, who did not seem to have much confidence.
Ah Wei's footsteps came to a halt. His pointy face slightly tilted up as he seriously said, "That's why we have to be serious … I originally thought that we would be able to get first place by just playing around, but it seems like it won't be as easy as I imagined!"
Straightening his body, Ah Wei actually took off the black wok on his back and smashed it onto the ground. The impact caused the ground to slightly tremble as if it had caved in.
"Let's give it our all. If we want to get first place, we must display our true culinary skills. Otherwise, we won't even have the qualifications to compete with Owner Bu!" Ah Wei said.
When Ah Lu saw Ah Wei's serious expression, his expression turned serious and the fats on his face trembled. Then, he reached into the pocket of his apron and took out a chicken drumstick. He solemnly bit into it and began to chew...
…
The lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival still enveloped the entire imperial city, or rather, the entire Light Wind Empire.
Every household happily prepared a sumptuous feast for the Spring Festival, filling the table to the brim to reward themselves for a year of hard work so that they could experience the beauty of delicacies.
Above the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, the preparations for the Hundred Family Banquet were also in full swing. Gigantic tables were carried out one after another and placed above the Gate of Heavenly Mystery. Then, a bright red tablecloth was draped over the tables.
The specifications of this year's Hundred Family Banquet had been expanded due to Ji Chengxue. Therefore, the amount of preparation work had become even greater and no one dared to let their guard down.
The main area of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery was densely filled with tables, and on the inner area of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, several simple stoves had been set up specifically for the chefs to prepare the delicacies required for the Hundred Family Banquet on the spot.
This was undoubtedly a test of the chefs' true skills. However, the chefs who dared to participate in the Hundred Family Banquet were all famous chefs in the Light Wind Empire, so there was no need to worry about their skills. They were all confident in their own abilities.
Amidst the preparations, a dazzling array of ingredients was also served. Every chef wanted to cook a different dish, so the choice of ingredients was also varied.
Because it was the Spring Festival today, the store's business was not too good. Therefore, Bu Fang could only lazily curl up on a chair, holding a cup of warm water in his hands and sipping it in satisfaction.
However, when a few travel-worn eunuchs rushed over, Bu Fang knew that he was about to get busy.
"Owner Bu, may I know what kind of ingredients you need? Please tell me so that I can send someone to purchase them. " A eunuch respectfully said to Bu Fang. This eunuch was originally following behind Lian Fu, so he knew very well how frightening Bu Fang was and did not dare to slight him in the slightest.
Bu Fang muttered to himself for a while. He had actually been thinking about what kind of delicacies he wanted to cook for the Hundred Family Banquet.
After all, it was the Hundred Family Banquet and the quantity of the dishes needed to be large. Otherwise, it would be impossible to satisfy the needs of several hundred households … Thus, Bu Fang concluded that the most important point of this year's Hundred Family Banquet was not only the quantity of the dishes but also the quality.
Thus, the type of dishes he wanted to cook was extremely important to Bu Fang.
The guests from the Hundred Family Banquet were all selected from the imperial city's commoners. Many of them might not even have cultivated and their bodies did not even have true energy. If Bu Fang used high-grade spirit energy ingredients to cook spirit energy delicacies, even though the quality would be guaranteed, it would not be able to satisfy everyone's needs. It was a thankless task.
Thus, Bu Fang pondered for a long time about the dishes he wanted to cook today before finally making his decision.
Bu Fang waved at the eunuch and lightly said, "Help me prepare these ingredients …"
