The serpent-woman Yu Fu swayed her tail as she arrived at Fang Fang's Little Store. She was also holding a lunchbox with a nervous expression on her face.
The lunchbox contained the Egg-Fried Rice she made. Bu Fang said that he would only accept her as his apprentice if the Egg-Fried Rice met his expectations. Although Yu Fu had cooked in the serpent-men tribe, she did not have any formal training in culinary arts. Therefore, she did not know whether this Egg-Fried Rice would meet his expectations.
As soon as she entered the store, Yu Fu sensed a strange atmosphere.
The surrounding customers were trying to hold back their laughter. Their pained expressions were similar to those of constipation.
Ouyang Xiaoyi angrily sat on a seat at the side. She pouted her lips and puffed up her cheeks. Her face was filled with displeasure.
Bu Fang calmly walked out of the kitchen and placed a plate of fragrant Egg-Fried Rice in front of Ouyang Xiaoyi. He rubbed the latter's head.
Ouyang Xiaoyi angrily ignored Bu Fang. She grabbed a porcelain spoon and gobbled down the Egg-Fried Rice. Her expression of deep hatred made the surrounding customers even more unable to restrain themselves.
"Bu … Owner Bu," Yu Fu timidly shouted.
Bu Fang turned around and saw the serpent-woman Yu Fu. His eyes immediately lit up. "You're here. Is the Egg-Fried Rice ready? If it's possible, let me have a taste. "
Yu Fu's culinary talent was much better than Ouyang Xiaoyi's. Therefore, Bu Fang was looking forward to Yu Fu's Egg-Fried Rice.
Ouyang Xiaoyi's Egg-Fried Rice … Bu Fang still had a lingering fear in his heart. That frightening appearance and impactful taste simply gave people an indescribable feeling of sadness.
Bu Fang had never thought that there would be someone in this world who could make Egg-Fried Rice like that … It was simply an awe-inspiring genius.
A rising star in the world of dark cooking.
Therefore, Bu Fang hoped that Yu Fu's Egg-Fried Rice would not be like Ouyang Xiaoyi's Egg-Fried Charcoal, which was a dark dish that made people feel hopeless.
Yu Fu listened to Bu Fang's words and nodded. She found an empty seat and placed the food box down.
The eyes of the surrounding customers lit up. What's wrong with Owner Bu? Here comes another Egg Fried Rice …
Bu Fang pulled out a chair and sat down. He looked at Yu Fu. Yu Fu was slightly perturbed as she opened the lid of the food box. Once the lid was opened, the fragrance of egg and rice immediately gushed out.
A commotion broke out among the surrounding diners. The smell was much better than the one in Ouyang Xiaoyi's food box. At least it smelled like normal Egg Fried Rice.
Egg Fried Rice was a dish that was very fragrant when stir-fried.
For Ouyang Xiaoyi to be able to do such a strange thing, it was also because she was talented.
On a white porcelain plate was a plate of Egg Fried Rice. The color was not very good and was a little dark. It was incomparable to Bu Fang's Egg Fried Rice, which was almost glowing. However, this was made by Yu Fu, so it was understandable.
Bu Fang's expression did not change much. He only nodded his head slightly. He took a blue and white porcelain spoon and scooped up a spoonful of Egg Fried Rice. He first placed it in front of his nose and smelled it. He felt that the smell was a little rich and mellow. It was not bad.
Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was holding the Egg Fried Rice made by Bu Fang, also came over. She ate while looking at Bu Fang with dissatisfaction.
Bu Fang ate a mouthful of Egg Fried Rice and chewed for a while. The egg's fragrance circulated in his mouth. It was not too salty nor too bland. Although the quality of the rice was not good, it was cooked just right. When it entered his mouth, the fragrance of the rice was released to the extreme and it was slightly springy.
"Although your choice of ingredients is very poor, your control of the heat and taste of the dish is not bad. The egg's fragrance and the rice's fragrance were completely brought into play. Although it did not reach the stage where every grain of rice was coated with eggs, it is already not bad to be able to do this with your level …"
Once Bu Fang started to evaluate the dish, he would become extremely naggy. He had a lot of words and his evaluation was unceasing. Moreover, he did not show the slightest bit of mercy as he pointed out all the flaws in the dish.
Yu Fu, who was standing at the side, could not help but nod her head. The expression on her face changed from one of nervousness to one of calmness. In the end, a trace of disappointment hung on her face.
Her Egg Fried Rice was criticized to be so bad and had so many flaws. It seemed like she would not have the chance to become Bu Fang's apprentice … She had indeed failed.
"Be more confident. As a chef, you must have enough confidence in your dishes. Perhaps the dishes you cook are not the best, but if you put in all your effort and cook with all your heart, your dishes will also be influenced by your confidence and add a different flavor to them." Bu Fang looked at Yu Fu, who had her head hung down in disappointment and said.
When Ouyang Xiaoyi heard Bu Fang's words, she was immediately unconvinced. With her mouth stuffed with Bu Fang's Egg Fried Rice, she glared at Bu Fang and shouted, "I am also very confident! I think the taste of my Egg Fried Rice … "
"That is blind confidence of yours …" Bu Fang said as he glanced at Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was a little unconvinced and still wanted to say something.
Your Egg Fried Rice has become Egg Fried Charcoal … Where did your confidence come from?
Ouyang Xiaoyi suddenly became sluggish. She snorted and chewed the Egg Fried Rice in her mouth. She had to admit that compared to the smelly boss's Egg Fried Rice, the taste of her Egg Fried Rice was indeed a little worse … Oh, a lot worse.
"Even though there are still many flaws in this Egg-Fried Rice, it's still acceptable and barely meets my expectations. How about this, come to the store tomorrow and I'll start teaching you how to cook the Egg-Fried Rice," Bu Fang said.
Yu Fu immediately raised her head in surprise and looked at Bu Fang. Didn't this mean that she could become Owner Bu's apprentice?
"I am not convinced!" Ouyang Xiaoyi was very angry. She angrily stared at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang patted her head, stood up and walked back to the kitchen.
"It's useless even if you are not convinced. Cooking depends on talent." Bu Fang waved his hand and said as he walked back to the kitchen.
Ouyang Xiaoyi looked at Bu Fang's back and angrily stomped her feet. She stuffed a spoonful of Egg Fried Rice into her mouth and snorted.
Yu Fu covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh.
She was suddenly curious about how Ouyang Xiaoyi's Egg Fried Rice was and why Owner Bu would dislike it so much.
…
Imperial Palace, Main Hall.
Eunuch Lian Fu was standing below the Main Hall with his thumb and middle finger pinched. There were many people standing beside him, including Xiao Meng, Yang Mo, Ouyang Zongheng, and many other experts of the empire.
Ji Chengxue sat on the Dragon Throne with his hand supporting his chin. He was frowning.
"Your Majesty, King Yu escaped from the imperial mausoleum and his whereabouts are unknown. According to the scouts, he seems to have been taken away by the forces of the Mahayana Island," Xiao Meng solemnly said to Ji Chengxue, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne.
Ji Chengyu's escape from the imperial mausoleum was no small matter. Back then, the imperial city was in danger and there were seventh grade experts everywhere. Ji Chengxue didn't have time to deal with this matter. Now that everything was over, he could finally free up his hands to deal with Ji Chengyu's matter.
"This Mahayana Island sect is really a scourge. First, there was Zhao Musheng, and now they've taken away King Yu. Could it be that they want to use King Yu to fight against our Light Wind Empire? That's simply wishful thinking, "Ji Chengxue coldly said.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Ji Chengyu was imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum due to the previous emperor's heavy sentence. Now that he has escaped, it's tantamount to defying the emperor's order. This is a serious crime and we must capture him and deal with him severely."
Many of the ministers suggested. The worry between Ji Chengxue's brows deepened.
The Mahayana Island was an old sect among the ten major sects. Apart from the mysterious Celestial Arcanum Sect, the Mahayana Island was the strongest force. If the empire wanted to deal with the Mahayana Island, the price they would have to pay was definitely not something Ji Chengxue could bear.
He had just ascended to the throne and there were many things waiting to be done in the empire. His reputation in the hearts of the people had yet to reach its peak, not even half of Emperor Changfeng's.
He also didn't dare to rashly dispatch troops to battle just for Ji Chengyu.
However, Ji Chengyu's wandering outside was also an uncertain factor. Once Ji Chengyu's cultivation level recovered, with his talent and reputation, it would be easy for him to gather a lot of soldiers. When that time came, it would be another big problem.
However, Ji Chengxue didn't really care. No matter how strong Ji Chengyu was, he was still far from being a threat to the Light Wind Empire. Without a truly high-end combat power, there was no way he could shake the empire.
"Your Majesty, this King Yu escaped because of this old servant. This old servant is somewhat at fault. Therefore, this old servant would like to personally capture King Yu and bring him back," Lian Fu suddenly said, causing many of the people present to be stunned.
Ji Chengxue was also very surprised. He didn't expect Lian Fu to actually step forward.
"Your Majesty, please allow this old servant to go and capture King Yu. He disobeyed the previous emperor's order and disrespected the previous emperor. This old servant must take action and let him know that the previous emperor's prestige is not to be casually challenged," Lian Fu's sharp voice resounded in the hall as he earnestly said while pinching his thumb and middle finger.
