As expected, it failed the evaluation. Bu Fang knew that it would not be easy to pass the system's evaluation.
"The evaluation tests the spirit energy content and the Path-Understanding Factor of a dish, huh …" Bu Fang rubbed his chin as he muttered. He had used the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife to cut the Path-Understanding Fruit, so the spirit energy should be well preserved. As for the loss of the remaining thirty percent of spirit energy, it should be because he did not control the flow of spirit energy well during the cooking process.
"Then isn't this dish a waste …" Bu Fang looked at the Path-Understanding Flower enshrouded in cloud patterns and suddenly felt his heart ache.
"The host wants to become the God of Cooking who stands at the top of the food chain in this fantasy world. Dishes that fail the evaluation cannot be sold," the system's solemn and serious voice came out.
If a failed dish were to be sold, it would be disrespectful to the diners and also to the chef's own skills. The dish presented by the chef must be a successful dish that could conquer the chef himself.
Bu Fang sighed. Xiao Bai had come to his side without him noticing. It patted its plump belly, and Xiao Bai's mechanical eyes twinkled. Then, its round belly opened up, revealing a huge, pitch-black hole.
This was the hole that Xiao Bai used to collect trash … Bu Fang picked up the dish and frowned. Suppressing his heartache, he poured it into Xiao Bai's stomach.
This meant that the first Path-Understanding Fruit had been wasted just like that.
After dealing with the first failed dish, Bu Fang did not rest. Instead, he pondered for a while, thinking about how to cook a dish that could ensure the spirit energy content and the Path-Understanding Factor were intact.
The system did not provide a recipe, and Bu Fang was already used to this situation. Many of his dishes were developed by himself, which was very important for a chef. This was the so-called sense of innovation.
Bu Fang's mind flickered, and he took out several ingredients from the system's dimensional storage.
Wandering Dragon Beef, fat fish from the Illusory Spirit Swamp, and some spirit fruits and spirit herbs.
These were the ingredients he had, and the system did not provide many ingredients.
There were only two Path-Understanding Fruits left. If Bu Fang wanted to complete the temporary task, he could not afford to make any mistakes.
Bu Fang stared at the only ingredients available. His gaze finally drifted between the Wandering Dragon Beef and the fat fish. Should he choose the beef or the fat fish?
"Pa!" With a snap of his fingers, Bu Fang had an idea. He actually did not choose the Seventh Level Wandering Dragon Meat that he usually used, but chose the First Level Illusory Spirit Swamp Fat Fish.
This fat fish was obtained by Bu Fang from the Naga tribe. Its meat was plump and tasted great when roasted.
However, Bu Fang did not intend to grill fish this time, because he was very clear that grilled fish was not suitable for the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit.
He first cleaned the fat fish and cut open its belly. Holding the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, he began to beat the fish meat with the back of the knife. True energy continuously seeped into the fish meat through the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, causing the fish meat to become radiant and overflowing with color. Then, he made a few cuts on the fish body.
After that, Bu Fang began to process the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit.
He cut the Path-Understanding Fruit into two halves, stored the juice in a porcelain bowl, and sliced it.
The rich spirit energy once again dissipated and floated around the entire kitchen, making one's mind extremely clear.
Taking the juice, Bu Fang carefully and meticulously smeared it on the fish meat. Every part of the fish was smeared with the juice of the Path-Understanding Fruit, and the juice quickly seeped into the fish meat.
Taking out a blue and white porcelain plate, Bu Fang took two pieces of the Path-Understanding Fruit's flesh and stuffed them into the fish's mouth, blocking the air passage.
Then, he stuck the rest of the fruit's flesh on the fish's body, surrounding it.
He opened the pot, lit the fire, took out a steamer, and placed it in the pot.
Bu Fang placed the processed fat fish into the steamer. That's right, the dish he chose to make this time was steamed fish.
However, this steaming method was not as easy as cooking. He had to maintain the flow of true energy at all times, controlling the changes of the fish meat in the steamer and the spirit energy in the fish meat.
The higher the grade of the ingredient, the higher the requirement of the chef's true energy to process it. The Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit was of a very high grade, containing rich spirit energy and Path-Understanding factors. In order not to destroy the spirit energy and Path-Understanding factors, Bu Fang had to constantly control it with true energy.
This was also a type of true energy cooking, and true energy cooking was a test of the chef's cultivation level.
Bu Fang concentrated, and the true energy in his dantian was mobilized. It constantly dispersed from his palms, covering the top of the steamer, and converging into it like silk.
…
The Ghost Chef's lips curled into an evil smile. He stepped into the store. In his mind, the people in the store were definitely in the midst of comprehending the Path-Understanding Fruit, and he had to obtain one at this time.
After consuming the secret meat soup, the Ghost Chef's cultivation level had stepped into the eighth grade realm, and he had even regained his youthful vigor. This was where his confidence came from.
However, as soon as he stepped into the store, his expression changed.
The people in the store all looked at him with puzzled eyes, not knowing what this guy who had stepped into the store with such an aggressive attitude wanted to do.
The Ghost Chef's eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on the Path-Understanding Tree in the corner.
The Path-Understanding Tree's branches and leaves were luxuriant, overflowing with light and vibrant colors. Spirit energy scattered in all directions, and it looked very healthy.
However … the Path-Understanding Fruit on it had disappeared. Obviously … it had been divided up.
"Damn it … I'm too late!" The Ghost Chef cursed under his breath, and then his gaze fell on the crowd.
"You guys divided up the Path-Understanding Fruit? Whoever obtained the Path-Understanding Fruit … hand it over, and this old man will spare his life! " The Ghost Chef was flustered and exasperated. He really needed the Path-Understanding Fruit, and for it, he had even consumed the secret meat soup with extreme side effects.
For the Path-Understanding Fruit, he couldn't care less.
The group of people sitting in the store were all waiting for Owner Bu's Path-Understanding Fruit dish. Who knew that at this time, a guy would run in, and shamelessly demand that they hand over the Path-Understanding Fruit …
Hand over your sister, hand over. We also need the Path-Understanding Fruit!
Zhan Kong and Bian Changkong looked at the Ghost Chef with unfriendly eyes. They had planned to spend a lot of money, but they still couldn't buy the Path-Understanding Fruit from Owner Bu. Where did this random guy come from, and he actually dared to threaten them to hand over the spirit fruit. Who the hell were you?
So Zhan Kong stood up, his face extremely gloomy. The anger he had suffered because of Owner Bu seemed to have found a target to vent on.
Bian Changkong also stood up. After taking the elixir in time, his injuries had recovered considerably.
The two of them walked with gloomy faces toward the Ghost Chef, who was standing at the door yelling in exasperation.
The Old Drunkard laughed heartily, and gulped down a mouthful of wine, ready to watch a good show.
"You two … Do you want to die?!" The Ghost Chef's eyes narrowed, and he threatened them sinisterly.
He was now an eighth grade War-God, a realm that he had no enemies. Were these two ants looking for death?
His heart was swelling at the moment.
"Who are you threatening?!"
Bian Changkong said coldly, and swung a slap at the Ghost Chef, whistling down.
The Ghost Chef's face froze, and he shouted angrily, "Die!"
Slap!
The Ghost Chef was stunned. He blocked Bian Changkong's slap, but not Zhan Kong's. His face immediately turned red and swollen.
What the hell, what was going on? His eighth grade cultivation was actually slapped swollen?
The Ghost Chef was enraged. The aura on his body rose, and surging true energy rolled out.
Slap!
Another slap. Zhan Kong was merciless. His face was gloomy, and the eyes under the silver mask were full of mockery.
"Who do you think you are, to dare threaten this commander?" Zhan Kong said coldly. He couldn't beat that dog, but he couldn't beat this random guy who jumped out of nowhere?
"Damn it! Go to hell! "
Boundless black energy surged out of the Ghost Chef's body, and his exasperated voice was mixed with an angry roar.
Bang!
However, before he could use this move, he was kicked away by Bian Changkong. His whole body flew out of the store, and crashed into the ruins of the alleyway.
"Idiot."
Bian Changkong and Zhan Kong looked at each other, smiled faintly, and rushed out of the store.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with a sense of grievance, and they urgently needed to vent. Where did this idiot come from … It was just the right time for them to vent.
Blacky lazily lay in front of the store, and lazily watched the almost one-sided massacre in the alleyway. Its doggy mouth opened, and it yawned.
The Ghost Chef's miserable howls rang out incessantly.
The Ghost Chef thought he was going to show off his skills, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten up by two terrifying guys halfway through his act.
He, who was completely defenseless, suddenly realized that these were two real eighth grade War-Gods!
Xiao Meng leaned against the store's door, and looked at the miserable Ghost Chef, who was howling incessantly, and a sense of satisfaction flashed through his heart.
Who told you to spread the news, and make the entire Imperial City a mess. Now you're getting beaten up. People like you will definitely be beaten up.
Xiao Meng was gloating.
Suddenly, a thick aroma wafted out of the kitchen, carrying with it a strange meaning. Everyone's mind was shaken, and they were momentarily stunned. Then, they looked toward the kitchen with anticipation. It seemed that Owner Bu's dish … was about to be completed.
