Bu Fang opened his eyes and sat up from his seat. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned.
After washing up, Bu Fang walked out of the room. The door to the guest room was still closed.
Going downstairs, Bu Fang went to the kitchen. The kitchen was spotless and comfortable. Bu Fang patted Xiao Bai's plump belly and smiled. He was in a good mood.
Picking up the custom-made heavy kitchen knife, Bu Fang began his daily practice of cutting and carving. The heavy kitchen knife in his hand actually felt as if it was light, which was quite inconceivable.
As the fragrance of the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs filled the air, Yu Fu swayed her serpent tail as she slowly descended from the second floor. She saw Bu Fang practicing cooking in the kitchen, and her face was filled with admiration.
"Owner Bu, good morning," Yu Fu greeted with a smile.
Bu Fang glanced at her and nodded his head indifferently. He focused all his attention on cooking the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. Yu Fu looked at Bu Fang's technique curiously. She was also very curious about the fragrant Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs.
Bu Fang skillfully cooked the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs while Yu Fu studied seriously. The scene was quite harmonious.
When the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs was done, Bu Fang carried a porcelain plate and walked out of the kitchen.
"Continue practicing your cutting and carving skills. I will examine your Egg-Fried Rice later." Bu Fang walked past Yu Fu and said calmly. He then went into the store and opened the door.
"Blacky, it's time to eat," Bu Fang said.
He placed the fragrant Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in front of Blacky and stroked its soft fur. He stood up, pulled a chair and curled up at the door.
The spring wind blew, bringing with it a slight coolness of the morning. It was slow and gentle, giving people the urge to fall asleep.
In the kitchen, Yu Fu picked up the kitchen knife that she had chosen yesterday and started to cut the ingredients that Bu Fang had prepared for her. There were a lot of ingredients and they filled up a big basin.
She practiced her knife skills seriously. Even someone as strong as Owner Bu had to practice every day. What reason did she have to not practice seriously?
Not long after, the store seemed to have become lively. Someone greeted the Owner Bu, and then the sound of food being ordered could be heard.
Yu Fu saw that there was still half a pot of ingredients left. Her wrist was already a little sore, and she immediately felt a little flustered.
Bu Fang stepped into the kitchen and saw Yu Fu panicking. He was slightly puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't I say that a chef must have his own confidence? "
"I … I didn't finish cutting all the ingredients," Yu Fu said with a red face and a little ashamed.
Bu Fang was taken aback. He looked at the remaining half a pot of ingredients and the corners of his mouth curled up. He patted Yu Fu's head and said, "I didn't say that you have to finish cutting all the ingredients. I just wanted you to practice. Alright, today's knife skills training ends here. Now, make me a serving of Egg-Fried Rice."
Yu Fu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She thought that Bu Fang would scold her harshly.
Beside the big stove, a small stove had appeared out of nowhere. Bu Fang looked at the small stove and rubbed his nose. Without a doubt, this stove was prepared by the system.
"You can cook Egg-Fried Rice on that stove. From now on, that stove belongs to you," Bu Fang said to Yu Fu as he pointed at the stove that had just appeared and seemed to have been there all along.
Yu Fu was astonished. She looked at the stove and was immediately amazed. Didn't there not have a stove yesterday? Why did it appear today? How magical …
However, Yu Fu also knew that there were some things that she couldn't delve too deeply into. Thus, she took the ingredients and started cooking Egg-Fried Rice.
Bu Fang, on the other hand, started cooking with familiarity. His knife flashed and the ingredients were quickly cut. His speed was so fast that it almost made one's eyes blur. Yu Fu, who was watching from the side, was a little dazed. Owner Bu's knife skills … were simply astonishing!
One after another, fragrant dishes were placed on the window by Bu Fang. Ouyang Xiaoyi walked over with a face full of smiles and took the dishes away.
"Owner Bu, the Egg-Fried Rice is ready." Seeing that Bu Fang finally had some free time to rest, Yu Fu said with a charming voice.
Bu Fang nodded and walked into the store. The customers warmly greeted him. Bu Fang also nodded and pulled a chair to sit down. Bu Fang also asked Yu Fu to place the Egg-Fried Rice on the table.
Yu Fu's Egg-Fried Rice was very fragrant. Compared to the first Egg-Fried Rice she gave to Bu Fang, it was much better. Perhaps it was because of the ingredients.
She used a blue and white porcelain spoon to scoop up a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The fragrance immediately burst forth in her mouth. The fragrance of the egg and the fragrance of the rice mixed together and tickled Bu Fang's taste buds. He raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised.
"The heat control is not good, and the control of the frequency of the spirit energy is also much worse. Although the taste is good, it is mainly because of the ingredients. You have to cook with your heart and use your heart to feel every change in the ingredients." Bu Fang's evaluation was still as crafty and poisonous as before.
Yu Fu constantly nodded and seriously listened to Bu Fang's evaluation.
Time passed by quickly. Yu Fu had been in Bu Fang's store for a long time. Under her continuous learning, she was still able to cook many dishes with the taste of Bu Fang's craftsmanship.
Among them, the best was still the Egg-Fried Rice. After all, it was the first dish she learned.
And during these days, Bu Fang also taught her two other dishes, Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Red Braised Meat. Among them, Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs was especially difficult. She practiced for a long time, but she could never reach Bu Fang's expectations. Every time she failed, she would be severely criticized by Bu Fang.
Bu Fang's evaluation was the most poisonous and severe she had ever seen. He would always find the flaws in your dish and then analyze it thoroughly, making you feel as if your dish had become worthless.
At the entrance, Bu Fang was curled up on a chair and looked at the fluttering white clouds in the sky. He was about to fall asleep.
Yu Fu walked out with a dish in her hands. She placed it in front of a customer and smiled at him.
"Your Egg-Fried Rice, please have a taste," Yu Fu said.
That customer was also a regular customer. Back then, when Bu Fang asked Yu Fu to bring out her dishes for customers to taste, he was one of them. Bu Fang said that after the customer had tasted it, he could take as many crystals as he felt the Egg-Fried Rice was worth. He would not insist on it.
After this customer tasted Yu Fu's Egg-Fried Rice, although it was still lacking compared to Bu Fang's, he still took out the crystals with satisfaction.
At that time, Yu Fu was very excited. Strictly speaking, this was the first crystal she had earned.
"Half a month has passed … I'm still missing one apprentice." Bu Fang was curled up on the chair. The spring breeze made him sober. He muttered to himself and couldn't help but frown.
Who should I choose for the remaining apprentice?
Juan'Er, who loved egg tarts? Bu Fang was indeed a little tempted. During this half a month, Bu Fang asked Luo Sanniang, who came to the store for a meal. Luo Sanniang casually told Bu Fang that Juan'Er only had egg tarts in her heart. She loved egg tarts and wouldn't spend too much time learning other dishes.
This made Bu Fang a little speechless.
A few days ago, Ni Yan also came to bid farewell to Bu Fang. Bu Fang also tried to tell Ni Yan about becoming an apprentice because no matter how he looked at it, Ni Yan was the most suitable person.
Unfortunately … Ni Yan came in a hurry. Bu Fang could see that Ni Yan was also a little tempted by his suggestion. However, she seemed to have something more important to do. Helpless, she left with the old drunkard.
Thus, the number of candidates in Bu Fang's mind became fewer and fewer. As the deadline given by the system approached, Bu Fang also became a little flustered.
Letting out a yawn, Bu Fang stood up from the chair and stretched his body.
The crisp sound of footsteps came from the alleyway. Then, two familiar figures stepped into Bu Fang's store.
"Owner Bu … I can finally eat your dishes!"
As soon as he entered the store, a figure began to complain. It was Xiao Xiaolong with the face of Xiao Bai.
This kid had grown a lot taller recently. His appearance had become even more beautiful and … more effeminate.
Xiao Yanyu was gentle and elegant. Wearing a veil, she easily found a seat and sat down.
When Ouyang Xiaoyi saw Xiao Yanyu, she immediately ran over excitedly.
When Bu Fang saw the two of them, his eyes immediately lit up. Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong? That's right … How could he forget about this pair of siblings?
"Owner Bu, for the past month or so, we were thrown to the Southern City by our father. We couldn't eat Owner Bu's dishes … It was simply unbearable. Now that we are finally back, we must eat to our heart's content," Xiao Xiaolong said excitedly while licking his lips.
The Southern City was a big city located in the southern part of the Light Wind Empire. Even though it was not as prosperous as the imperial city, it was still a rather majestic city.
Bu Fang did not pay attention to Xiao Xiaolong, who could not wait to eat to his heart's content. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yanyu and asked if she was interested in becoming his apprentice and learning how to cook from him.
Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong were both stunned. What exactly happened while they were away from the imperial city?
Owner Bu actually started to accept apprentices?
"Even though this proposal is very tempting, it's a pity … I will have to leave for the Southern City in a few days. I might not have the chance to learn from Owner Bu." Xiao Yanyu felt extremely regretful. She even had the urge to stay in the imperial city and learn how to cook instead of going to the Southern City. However, the matter in the Southern City was very important, so she had no choice but to go.
Bu Fang also frowned. Xiao Yanyu was also not free …
Xiao Xiaolong stared at Bu Fang with his eyes wide open. His face was suddenly filled with shame and indignation!
"Owner Bu, why did you only ask my sister and not me? Don't you want to know if I want to learn how to cook from you? "Xiao Xiaolong said indignantly.
He felt that he was being ignored by Bu Fang.
Bu Fang was stunned for a moment. His gaze fell on Xiao Xiaolong.
"System, how is Xiao Xiaolong's cooking talent?"
"After the system's examination, Xiao Xiaolong's cooking talent is up to standard. The host will teach him how to cook Egg-Fried Rice. It will take about one and a half days."
The corner of Bu Fang's mouth twitched … What the hell? This foodie actually had such a talent for cooking?
System, did you get the wrong person? He was Xiao Xiaolong … not Xiao Yanyu.
