"Grand … Grand Elder?!"
The old drunkard turned his head and happened to see the old man's figure. His legs immediately turned to jelly. He had just mentioned the Grand Elder and the old man had already appeared. He was practically scared out of his wits.
The old man gently smiled. With a wave of his hand, the wine gourd in the old drunkard's hand landed in his hand. Holding the wine gourd, the old man gently shook it. Hearing the sound of the wine within the gourd colliding, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
The old man opened the lid of the gourd. With a pinch of his finger, a drop of primordial wine immediately floated out of the gourd. It was as gorgeous as a pearl.
"When I was young, this old man was also a wine lover." The old man chuckled. With a wave of his finger, the drop of wine entered his mouth and instantly dispersed, filling his mouth with wine.
The old man narrowed his eyes and was incomparably intoxicated. After smacking his lips, he tossed the wine gourd to the old drunkard.
"This wine of yours is not bad. Unfortunately, it's still lacking." The old man lightly smiled.
The old drunkard's eyes immediately lit up. He suddenly looked at the Grand Elder and respectfully said, "Grand Elder, could there be a wine more delicious than the Dragon's Breath that I meticulously brewed?"
"Of course there is. The world is vast and full of wonders. The Hidden Dragon City is just a small place. Moreover, you will soon taste the true wine." The old man gently stroked his white beard and chuckled. Then, his gaze landed on Ni Yan and slightly narrowed.
"Little girl, you've broken through? Not bad, not bad. It seems like the Imperial City is truly a blessed land for you, "the old man said with a smile.
Ni Yan could be impolite to the old drunkard, but in front of the Grand Elder, a legendary figure of the Celestial Arcanum Sect, she still felt a little restrained. "Yes, in the Imperial City … I had a fortuitous encounter."
"Hahaha, no matter. This old man just happened to want you to make a trip to the Imperial City. Not long after, there will be a rare treasure appearing in the Imperial City. Try your best. If you can get it, then so be it. If not, it's fine."
The old man stood with his hands behind his back and chuckled.
Ni Yan was instantly taken aback. He wanted her to go to the Imperial City again? Could it be that the Imperial City was going to be bustling again?
...
By the time Bu Fang returned to the store, it was already dark. He didn't choose to open for business again. Instead, he sat on a chair and pondered.
The System's reward had already been released. He wanted to cook it, but his attention was attracted by the seed.
"System, you made me the champion of the Hundred Family Banquet just for this seed? What's so strange about it? "Bu Fang asked curiously.
The system did not immediately reply him. Instead, it was silent for a long time before it solemnly said, "The host is temporarily not qualified to obtain the information related to this seed. After planting the seed and waiting for it to germinate and bear fruit, the host will be qualified to obtain the information related to the seed."
The system's reply made Bu Fang's face darken. What did it mean that he wasn't qualified to obtain information about the seeds? In any case, he was now a man known as the War King!
However, it was useless for him to be angry. Based on the system's nature, if it said that he wasn't qualified, then he definitely wasn't.
Fortunately, Bu Fang was not very interested in the news of this seed.
"How do I plant it? Where can I plant this seed? "Bu Fang asked.
"The system is about to provide the host with a planting pot. Host, please plant the seed." The system's solemn voice sounded once again. Then, under Bu Fang's perception, a flower pot the size of a washbasin suddenly appeared within the system's storage space.
"A flower pot that speeds up the flow of time. It can speed up the germination and growth of the seed," the system introduced.
Bu Fang took out the ugly earth-yellow flower pot. The corners of his mouth twitched as he placed the flower pot in a corner of the store. The flower pot was already filled with soil. Based on the system's nature, the soil in the flower pot was definitely not ordinary soil.
He grabbed a handful of soil. It was extremely cold and filled with a chill, almost freezing his palm.
Bu Fang furrowed his brows. In the end, he took out the black seed and dug a small hole in the flower pot. He tossed the seed into the hole and buried it.
"The soil is so cold, will it freeze the seed? It already looks like it will be difficult for it to germinate. Won't it be even more difficult to grow it if it's planted in frozen soil? " Bu Fang was a little puzzled. However, perhaps this seed liked to grow in this kind of environment.
Bu Fang stood up, dusted off his hands and walked into the kitchen. He used water to wash off the dirt on his hands.
He pulled out a kitchen knife and practiced his cutting and carving techniques for a while before ending today's training. It was not easy for the chefs of the Hundred Family Banquet this time and they were all feeling a little tired.
Bu Fang returned to his room and took a comfortable hot bath. Steam filled the room.
After his bath, Bu Fang lay comfortably on his bed. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, early morning.
Bu Fang opened his eyes on time. After washing up, he left the small room and walked into the kitchen. He took out a kitchen knife and a radish and began his cutting technique training. The second level Meteor Cutting Technique was more important for training and there was also a requirement for cutting speed.
Bu Fang did not neglect his carving skills either. After practicing his cutting techniques, he continued to train his carving skills. Both skills were slowly improving.
After cooking a portion of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and smelling the rich aroma of meat, Bu Fang walked out of the kitchen and opened the store's door. Icy cold air rushed in from outside. The cold wind rustled and snow swirled in the air. After the Spring Festival ended, the snowfall became heavier and the weather became colder and colder.
"Blacky, it's time to eat." Bu Fang shrunk his neck and let out a breath of cold air. He walked out of the warm store. His clothes were very thin and he immediately felt a chill as goosebumps appeared all over his body.
Blacky was not bothered by the cold at all. In its eyes, there was only the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. It stuck out its tongue and breathed out hot air in high spirits.
Bu Fang placed the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in front of Blacky and returned to the store. The warmth of the store made people feel more comfortable.
The sound of footsteps came from the alleyway and a figure that was already round to begin with but was even rounder appeared.
Fatty Jin rolled over like a ball and entered Bu Fang's store. He let out a breath of cold air and said with a smile, "Owner Bu, good morning. It's really too cold today."
"This store is still the most comfortable. This warm feeling simply makes me want to leave." Fatty Jin sat on a chair with a smile and took off a large cotton-padded jacket.
Bu Fang nodded his head with an indifferent expression.
"Oh right, Owner Bu, yesterday's Rainbow-colored Crescent Moon Dumplings … can only be described with the word 'wonderful'. It was so delicious that I, Ol 'Jin, almost swallowed my tongue. I've never eaten such delicious food before. I wonder if the store sells it?" Fatty Jin asked.
Bu Fang froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the menu. Sure enough, the name of a dish had appeared on it.
"Rainbow-colored Water Dumplings, one hundred crystals per serving."
Fatty Jin grinned and could not help but say, "One hundred crystals per serving … Owner Bu, isn't this too expensive? These dumplings are all made with ordinary ingredients. It doesn't make sense for them to be so expensive."
Every dish in Bu Fang's store was condensed with dense spirit energy and the taste was unprecedentedly good. Without exception, the ingredients used in these dishes were all expensive and of high quality. However, Fatty Jin had eaten the Rainbow-colored Crescent Moon Dumplings yesterday. The ingredients used were only ordinary fruits and vegetables. Yet, it was still sold at such an expensive price. It was truly a loss.
Even though Fatty Jin's family had a crystal mine, squandering it like this still made him feel a little sad.
Fatty Jin's question caused Bu Fang to be stunned for a moment. He looked at Fatty Jin with a puzzled expression. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he said, "Who told you that the ingredients used in the store's Rainbow-colored Water Dumplings are ordinary?"
