There was definitely no more wine today. Wu Yunbai looked at Bu Fang with an aggrieved expression. However, no matter how aggrieved she was, it would be useless.
"There are still many delicious dishes in the store. You can have a taste. If you want to order anything … just tell this girl."
In the end, Bu Fang even calmly patted Ouyang Xiaoyi's head and promoted the store's dishes. Then, he turned around and stepped into the kitchen.
Ji Chengxue found a familiar spot near the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree and sat down. Fresh spirit energy floated around him, bringing with it some mysterious fluctuations.
Ji Chengxue held his hands behind his back and slowly sized up the Path-Understanding Tree. His eyes were shining brightly.
Outside the store, the spying gazes and auras had all retreated. Apparently, the Battle-Saints had realized that this incident had nothing to do with the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree and left. The Path-Understanding Tree had yet to mature and bear fruit, so they did not want to get involved.
Wu Yunbai ordered a few dishes. Although the prices of these dishes were staggering, as the young master of the White Cloud Villa, a mysterious faction that even the Celestial Arcanum Sect feared, she still had enough crystals. Because she did not get any lotus seeds from Bu Fang, Wu Yunbai vented all her anger on these dishes.
Ni Yan left with Ye Ziling. Ni Yan was in a hurry to return to the inn to consolidate her newly improved cultivation, while Ye Ziling was purely following Ni Yan.
The store suddenly became a lot quieter. The people queuing up had all dispersed. The three barbarians of Ouyang also left eagerly. Having gotten a bargain, they were in a hurry to tell their fathers the good news.
The rich aroma of the dishes quickly wafted out from the kitchen. This familiar aroma caused Ji Chengxue's gaze to shift away from the Path-Understanding Tree and he felt a little emotional.
"Owner Bu's cooking is getting better and better. The aroma of the dishes is even more mesmerizing." Ji Chengxue took a deep breath and sighed.
Lian Fu pinched his thumb and middle finger together as he sat to one side. His heart was still filled with nostalgia. This store … once had the aura of the previous emperor. Although it had long dissipated, Lian Fu still felt an inexplicable sense of illusion and sadness.
Reminiscing about the past, he pinched his thumb and middle finger again and started sobbing.
Ji Chengxue looked at him helplessly.
A rich meaty aroma quickly filled the air. Ouyang Xiaoyi gracefully carried the Red Braised Meat to Ji Chengxue's seat and placed the dish in front of him.
Bu Fang also walked out of the kitchen, carrying a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine.
Ji Chengxue's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but lick his lips. It had been a long time since he had drunk Owner Bu's wine and eaten Owner Bu's dishes. He was craving for them.
"It smells so good."
Ji Chengxue moved his nose close to the Red Braised Meat and took a deep breath. His face was filled with an intoxicated expression as he spoke.
Bu Fang's Red Braised Meat was extremely fragrant. Even Wu Yunbai, who was sitting far away with a belly full of anger, could not help but be attracted by it.
He picked up a piece of rosy, lustrous, and fragrant Red Braised Meat and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing for a while, he felt the comfortable feeling of his teeth rubbing against the fresh and tender venison. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
After swallowing a mouthful of meat, he poured a cup of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine and gulped it down. A comfortable feeling spread throughout his body.
Bu Fang looked at Ji Chengxue's face filled with enjoyment. The corners of his mouth curled up and he returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.
The bald young monk squinted his eyes and walked into the alleyway with a smile on his face. As he walked toward the store, he saw the big black dog lying at the entrance.
The young monk's eyes immediately lit up and he licked his lips.
"What a fat dog. It must taste good."
Blacky, who was taking a nap, suddenly felt a chill all over its body, as if a malicious gaze was staring at it. It couldn't help but open its doggy eyes and glance at the greedy looking at it … the monk.
"What the f * ck … What kind of gaze is that?" Blacky's doggy eyes widened. This was the first time he saw someone looking at the Lord Gou as if he was looking at a delicious delicacy … Was this bald donkey trying to court death?
The novice monk patted his bald head, and his expression changed, as if he was smiling.
"Red Braised Dog Meat? That should be good … It's rare to find such a fat dog in the imperial city. But forget it, I should first complete that old fox Zhao Musheng's mission. "
The young monk smacked his lips and felt that it was a pity. He regretfully glanced at Blacky, shook his head, and stepped into the store.
Blacky was dumbfounded. "This bald donkey … Is he trying to stir up trouble? What's with that regretful expression of yours? "
Blacky rolled its doggy eyes and went back to sleep.
"Meat … the aroma of meat!"
As soon as he stepped into the store, the young monk's eyes became even brighter. It was as if an egg was embedded with sparkling diamonds …
"There's wine … there's meat, this store is not bad!"
The young monk's gaze fell on Ji Chengxue, who was stuffing a juicy and fragrant piece of Red Braised Meat into his mouth. He then looked at Wu Yunbai, who was taking a bite of an oily Golden Shumai … He couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva.
The aroma that lingered in the store instantly lured out the gluttonous worm in his stomach. The satiety from eating a steamer of buns had also completely disappeared.
"Is this the place that old fox Zhao Musheng wanted me to complete the mission?"
The young monk couldn't help but smile.
"What would you like to eat? The menu is behind you. Tell me the name of the dish after you're done, "Ouyang Xiaoyi skillfully said to the strange monk who had just stepped into the store.
The young monk was startled. He turned his head and saw the large pile of expensive dishes on the menu. The corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.
"Give this humble monk a serving of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine," the young monk said to Ouyang Xiaoyi in a serious manner.
Ouyang Xiaoyi was stunned. Could monks nowadays drink and eat meat so openly? What was up with this guy ordering wine and meat with a serious face?
"Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine?" Ouyang Xiaoyi asked in return.
"That's right, almsgiver. Wine and meat pass through the intestines. A monk shouldn't be restricted by the secular world. He should eat and drink as long as he has Buddha in his heart." The young monk put his palms together with a serious expression.
"Alright, wait a moment." Ouyang Xiaoyi was stunned.
"Almsgiver, this humble monk has a small request. I would like to see the store's Owner Bu," the young monk said with a smile. His face was full of kindness.
"You want to see the smelly boss? Wait a moment … He's not free right now. "Ouyang Xiaoyi frowned. She felt that there was something strange about this monk.
The young monk was not in a hurry. He found a seat and sat down.
Ouyang Xiaoyi came to the kitchen window and reported the dishes the young monk had ordered to Bu Fang.
"This Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine were ordered by a monk …" Ouyang Xiaoyi said curiously, "And he said he wanted to see you."
"See me?" Bu Fang was startled. He placed a dish on the window. After Ouyang Xiaoyi took it away, he placed it in front of Wu Yunbai.
The two of them ordered a lot of dishes and ate happily, unable to stop.
They didn't expect Bu Fang's dishes to taste so good.
When Bu Fang walked out of the kitchen, he was holding a plate of fragrant Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in one hand and a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine in the other as he approached the young monk.
The young monk narrowed his eyes, glanced at Bu Fang, put his palms together, and sniffed...
"Your Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, please enjoy," Bu Fang said calmly. After that, he calmly looked at the monk.
The young monk stood up, his face full of smiles. "I've long heard of Owner Bu's great name. I'm Shang De. I've admired Fang Fang's Little Store for a long time, so I've come to pay a visit today."
Bu Fang didn't answer him. He was still looking at him expressionlessly.
The young monk Shang De chuckled, touched his bald head, and lightly patted it.
"Owner Bu's cooking is quite good. This aroma is so tempting that I can't help myself. However, I'm here today because I have something to ask Owner Bu."
"Speak," Bu Fang said calmly.
The young monk's expression suddenly became solemn. He put his palms together and slightly bowed toward Bu Fang.
"Monks are compassionate. On my way to the Imperial City, I met a young serpent-woman. Thinking that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda, I saved her. However, the young serpent-woman was too heavily injured and fell into a deep coma. I was powerless. However, before the serpent-woman fainted, she called out Owner Bu's name. Therefore, I'm here to ask if Owner Bu knows … this serpent-woman?"
