Unpalatable?!
Juan'Er's expectant gaze instantly dimmed after she heard Bu Fang's evaluation. Like a crystal ball that had been shattered, her eyes became mottled and fragmented.
Bu Fang's words were merciless and completely disregarded Juan'Er's feelings. Luo Sanniang and the others were all dumbfounded after hearing his words.
Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong, on the other hand, were flabbergasted. According to their understanding of Owner Bu, at this moment, Owner Bu should be talking incessantly about the dish like a gushing geyser. How could he be dismissed with just two words?
Unpalatable? They had never heard the word "delicious" come out of Owner Bu's mouth...
"Brat, what do you mean by this? Juan'Er worked so hard to make these egg tarts and didn't even sleep last night. Can't you say something nice about them? "Luo Sanniang was enraged and immediately spoke with dissatisfaction.
Bu Fang expressionlessly glanced at the exasperated Luo Sanniang and indifferently said, "Why should I say something nice? Will her culinary skills improve if I say something nice? "
Luo Sanniang's expression suddenly froze. She couldn't help but be speechless. Indeed, everyone knew how to flatter others, but flattery would only make them immerse themselves in flattery. They wouldn't be able to find their own shortcomings and recognize themselves. If they couldn't even recognize themselves, how could they make any progress?
"I don't have anything to comment on your egg tarts. They are just unpalatable, or should I say … hard to swallow." Bu Fang looked at Juan'Er. His gaze was like a sharp spear that pierced straight into Juan'Er's heart, causing her mind to tremble.
"I... I..." Juan'Er felt wronged. Her eyes instantly turned red. How could she be happy when the fruits of her hard work were being mercilessly criticized by someone else like this?
"Don't be hasty, let me finish." The corners of Bu Fang's mouth twitched and his gaze softened a little.
"If you really want to make delicious egg tarts, sure. Make two more egg tarts for me to taste. If you can get my approval, I will point out where you are lacking. Otherwise … forget it," Bu Fang said.
Juan'Er was stunned, and so was Luo Sanniang. They didn't expect Bu Fang to say something like that. What did he mean? Could it be that Bu Fang is going to teach Juan Er?
Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong were also stunned.
Bu Fang stood up, took a deep breath, and said to the crowd, "Alright, today's business hours are almost over. Everyone, please go back."
After he finished speaking, Bu Fang's gaze once again fell on Juan'Er and he said, "Remember, you only have two chances. If you can't meet my expectations in both chances, then... then I can only apologize."
After saying that, Bu Fang turned around and entered the kitchen.
The crowd in the store looked at each other and then left the store one after another.
Juan'Er had yet to recover from her surprise. Did Bu Fang mean that she should make egg tarts for Bu Fang to taste? As long as Bu Fang approved of her egg tarts, did that mean that Bu Fang was willing to teach her how to make egg tarts?
Juan'Er was so happy. The discomfort she felt from being criticized by Bu Fang for being unpalatable suddenly disappeared.
If she could get Bu Fang's guidance, she would definitely be able to make delicious and adorable egg tarts.
"Thank you, Owner Bu. Juan'Er will definitely work hard and gain your approval!" Juan'Er bowed ninety degrees and said earnestly.
Then, she pulled Luo Sanniang away from the store and excitedly rushed back to the Marquis' Manor to prepare to make egg tarts. She must make egg tarts that could gain Owner Bu's approval.
...
It was a cold winter night. Two bright moons hung high up in the sky, giving off a chilly glow as if draping a veil over the earth.
After Bu Fang finished practicing his cutting and carving skills and brewing the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, he returned to his room. After washing up, Bu Fang leaned against the headboard.
"The wine I'm going to brew next should have the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit as the main ingredient, supplemented by the Phoenix Blood Herb and other spirit herbs. The Phoenix Blood Herb used up half of its medicinal power to save Ji Chengxue. Otherwise, it would be pretty good to use it as the main ingredient," Bu Fang muttered.
However, at the moment, other than the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit and the Phoenix Blood Herb, he did not have many other spirit herbs. Therefore, he needed to start considering the other spirit herbs.
The requirements for other elixirs might not be as high, but … they couldn't be too bad either. After all, Ni Yan had said that the "Dragon's Breath" wine was made with many precious elixirs and was brewed at the bottom of the Spirit Pool for a few years. That wine was definitely extraordinary.
"System, bring me to the place where the spirit herbs are harvested. Spirit herbs are also considered as ingredients, I should have the right to go there," Bu Fang said to the system in his mind.
The system was silent for a moment, then it solemnly said, "Is the host sure that you want to proceed with the teleportation and harvest the ingredients?"
"Yes," Bu Fang seriously replied.
Then, the system went silent again. After a while, it said, "Starting to determine the location. The teleportation is estimated to take place in four hours. During this period, the host can start his preparations."
Four hours, huh? Bu Fang nodded. Four hours was not a lot, it was fine to make some preparations.
However, there was actually nothing much for him to prepare. The main thing he needed was a good sleep to recuperate his energy. There were many things in the system's dimensional storage.
Therefore, Bu Fang returned to the kitchen and added some bottles of seasoning into the system's dimensional storage. Then, he returned to his room, climbed onto his bed and started to sleep.
He slept for four hours straight.
When the system's solemn voice resounded in his ears, Bu Fang opened his eyes. A tiny white speck of light once again appeared above his head. The speck of light was rapidly rotating and drawing a mysterious teleportation array.
Bu Fang was also someone who had experienced teleportation once, so he appeared to be unhurried and unhurried. He calmly put on his clothes and used a velvet rope to tie up his hair. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he finally finished drawing the magic array.
Finally, after a few breaths' time, the array was completely drawn. The array was self-contained and emitted a mysterious brilliance. It shone on Bu Fang's body and enveloped him.
Suddenly, a violent gust of wind swept through the room, whistling and sweeping the entire room.
Bu Fang stood tall in the gale, and soon, he was swept away and disappeared.
...
The Illusory Spirit Swamp was located above the Wildlands and the Light Wind Empire. It was a vast and boundless area.
There were four perilous areas in the Hidden Dragon Continent: the Wildlands, the Illusory Spirit Swamp, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the Wuliang Mountain...
The Illusory Spirit Swamp was a dangerous place that was just as famous as the Wildlands. The number of spirit beasts in the Illusory Spirit Swamp was also innumerable. Unlike the spirit beasts in the Wildlands, the majority of these spirit beasts hid under the swamp, absorbing the spirit energy in the swamp to strengthen themselves and continuously increase their cultivation.
Even though it was a perilous area, the Illusory Spirit Swamp was abundant in spirit energy and water sources. Compared to the Wildlands, it was much easier to breed spirit herbs. High-grade spirit herbs were also much more common in the Wildlands. In the Hidden Dragon Continent, many adventurers would choose to explore the Illusory Spirit Swamp. As long as they could find a sixth grade spirit herb … they would be rich.
With the trend of profits, there would naturally be many people who would go there.
No matter which perilous area it was, it was always the same.
In the quiet Illusory Spirit Swamp, a white dot of light suddenly appeared. Then, it rapidly drew in the sky. In just a short while, a mysterious teleportation array was drawn out of thin air.
A violent gust of wind suddenly gushed out from the teleportation array and swept up the water in the swamp.
The tranquility of the swamp was immediately broken. Many birds flapped their wings and flew away.
When the violent gust of wind dissipated, the water in the swamp instantly fell and splashed all over the ground.
After the violent gust of wind dissipated, a slender figure appeared.
