The atmosphere in the store suddenly became a little strange.
Xiao Xiaolong angrily glared at Bu Fang. His fair skin was flushed red, like a ripe honey peach, incomparably tempting … This little sissy was indeed more beautiful than a woman.
Bu Fang also glared, not knowing what to say. He did not expect Xiao Xiaolong to be so talented, not any weaker than Yu Fu, who was busy in the kitchen.
Xiao Yanyu's talent was also not bad, but compared to Xiao Xiaolong, there seemed to be a gap. This was simply … f * cking dog!
"Owner Bu … What is the meaning of this? Are you looking down on me? "Xiao Xiaolong said, unconvinced.
When Xiao Yanyu saw the two of them staring at each other, she suddenly felt that it was very funny. She could not help but let out a "pfft" and covered her mouth to chuckle.
Ouyang Xiaoyi also could not stop giggling.
Bu Fang was a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "No, I did not mean to look down on you. Aren't you a great talent of the imperial city? You might be a little busy … "
"My sister is a great talent of the imperial city … Why don't you care whether she is busy or not?" Xiao Xiaolong curled his lips. Owner Bu's excuse was really lousy.
"Isn't your sister going to the Southern City? Why don't you go with her? "Bu Fang asked doubtfully.
"The Xiao Family's ancestral land is in the Southern City. Back then, my father followed Emperor Changfeng on an expedition and finally settled down in the imperial city. However, the Xiao Family in the Southern City is still very famous in the area. I don't know what happened these days, but the elders of the Xiao Family asked me and my sister to go back, so my father asked my sister to go back," Xiao Xiaolong said truthfully.
Xiao Yanyu nodded her head as she looked at Bu Fang apologetically. If she could really learn from Bu Fang, Xiao Yanyu would be very happy.
"Alright then … Go back and cook a dish of Egg-Fried Rice. Bring it to me tomorrow. If it meets my expectations, then the second apprentice will be you," Bu Fang said calmly to Xiao Xiaolong.
"Second?"
"Hmm … Let me introduce the first apprentice. She is a woman from the Naga Tribe, Yu Fu," Bu Fang said. Then, he turned toward the kitchen and called Yu Fu's name.
Yu Fu was taken aback. She stopped what she was doing and walked out of the kitchen while wagging her tail. She then stood behind Bu Fang.
She was a little bashful as she placed her hands on her waist and slightly bowed to Xiao Xiaolong and Xiao Yanyu.
Yu Fu was very beautiful. Even though she was not as beautiful as Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Ni Yan, she was already much more beautiful than the average woman.
Xiao Xiaolong had always been a friendly person. After getting acquainted with Yu Fu, Xiao Xiaolong ordered a few dishes and ate with Xiao Yanyu. Then, he hurriedly returned to the Xiao Mansion.
Bu Fang looked at Xiao Xiaolong's back as he left, and the corner of his mouth curled up. He had finally found his second apprentice.
In this case, he had completed the temporary mission given by the system. However, he would probably have to wait until Xiao Xiaolong obtained the system's approval and obtained his own stove in the kitchen like Yu Fu.
Standing up from his chair, Bu Fang stretched his body and then walked toward the kitchen. "Yu Fu, today, I will teach you how to make the Red Braised Meat. Our Red Braised Meat focuses on the control of true energy over the spirit energy in the meat …"
The kitchen was in full swing, and Xiaoyi was enthusiastically taking down the customers' orders.
…
Imperial City's Xiao Mansion.
Inside the majestic Xiao Mansion, there were pavilions, terraces, and the sound of flowing water lingering in the air. After a winter of silence, the flowers in the Xiao Mansion's garden were quietly flourishing. There were even brocade flowers that were in full bloom and swaying in the wind, emitting an enchanting fragrance.
Ji Ru'Er and Xiao Meng were strolling in the Xiao Mansion's garden. Accompanied by the fragrance of the flowers, they were chatting and laughing. A faint sense of happiness pervaded the air.
"Madam, you should spend more time with Yanyu and Xiaolong today. Tomorrow, Yanyu will be heading to the Southern City. It might be half a year before we can see each other again." Xiao Meng gently said as he held Ji Ru'Er's shoulder. The number one expert of the imperial city was a burly man. It was rare to see him speaking in such a gentle voice.
"Yanyu should be fine after returning to the Southern City, right? Why don't we ask Yue 'er to go back with her? "Ji Ru'Er asked.
"It's fine. It's just that some small issues seem to have occurred in the Xiao Family. Yanyu is intelligent and knows when to stop. It will be easy to resolve." Xiao Meng had a lot of trust in Xiao Yanyu's abilities.
Recently, Xiao Yue was busy making a breakthrough and it was not good to disturb him. If Xiao Yue succeeded, he would become another seventh grade Battle-Saint. Then, with two seventh grade Battle-Saints in the Xiao Family, their position in the imperial city would be as stable as a rock.
Ji Ru'Er gently smiled. She was originally a woman as gentle as water.
"Long 'er seemed to have gone straight into the kitchen the moment he returned. Since when did he like cooking?"
Xiao Meng was startled for a moment and his face immediately turned serious. "Nonsense. Why is he going into the kitchen to cause trouble? If this ignorant and incompetent brat could be half as easy-going as Yanyu, then I would truly be at ease. "
Ji Ru'Er covered her mouth and laughed. The two of them immediately left the garden and headed toward the kitchen.
Once they entered the kitchen, they could smell the fragrance of eggs wafting from the kitchen.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"Dad, mom, you came at the right time. Try the Egg-Fried Rice I made. It turns out that my culinary skills are actually this good. I didn't realize it before!" Xiao Xiaolong was very excited. His face was flushed with excitement.
Xiao Meng frowned and sternly glanced at him. He snorted, causing the smug Xiao Xiaolong to immediately shrink his neck.
Xiao Meng's gaze fell on the Egg-Fried Rice on the table. Steam and fragrance wafted out from the Egg-Fried Rice. It was served on a white porcelain plate and the rice grains inside were glowing with a golden hue. The egg blossoms and rice grains were very distinct.
Judging from the appearance … it seemed pretty good.
Xiao Meng was slightly surprised. This brat actually had such culinary skills.
The corners of Ji Ru'Er's mouth curled up into a smile. She picked up a white porcelain spoon and scooped a spoonful of rice and sent it into Xiao Meng's mouth.
Xiao Meng's face turned red. He opened his mouth and ate the Egg-Fried Rice. His eyebrows twitched. The taste was actually pretty good. Even though it was still a lot worse than Owner Bu's Egg-Fried Rice, based on his understanding of Xiao Xiaolong … it was simply inconceivable that this brat could make Egg-Fried Rice of this level. Could it be that he was possessed by Owner Bu?
"How is it? The taste is pretty good, right? Tomorrow, I'm going to become Owner Bu's apprentice. He asked me to make a dish of Egg-Fried Rice for him to try. Dad, mom, try it … It should pass, right? "Xiao Xiaolong said proudly.
"Owner Bu wants to accept an apprentice?" Xiao Meng gave Xiao Xiaolong a puzzled glance. He felt that this was the most important matter.
"He's not accepting an apprentice … He's accepting an apprentice!" Xiao Xiaolong corrected.
Xiao Meng nodded his head and began to ponder while rubbing his chin. The status of Bu Fang and Fang Fang's Little Store in the imperial city was no longer the same as before. Countless eyes within the imperial city were observing and watching the store because it was truly too terrifying.
Xiao Meng raised his head and seriously looked at Xiao Xiaolong as he said, "Owner Bu wants to accept an apprentice. This is a pretty good opportunity. You must grasp it."
Xiao Xiaolong rolled his eyes. He said he wanted to accept an apprentice … not an apprentice.
"Alright, then I won't disturb you any longer. You should practice in the kitchen and strive to become Owner Bu's apprentice tomorrow. If you can learn some culinary skills from Owner Bu, then all the meals in our Xiao residence will be cooked by you in the future."
Xiao Meng and Ji Ru'Er chuckled as they left the kitchen, leaving behind a dumbfounded Xiao Xiaolong …
The next day, after Xiao Xiaolong sent Xiao Yanyu off from the imperial city, he turned around and returned to the Xiao residence. He made a dish of Egg-Fried Rice and placed it in a lunchbox before going to look for Bu Fang.
After Bu Fang tasted his Egg-Fried Rice, without exception, he turned on his chatterbox mode and criticized Xiao Xiaolong's Egg-Fried Rice to the point where Xiao Xiaolong almost started to doubt his life.
However, in the end, Bu Fang still accepted him. After all, it was his first time cooking this Egg-Fried Rice. It was already not easy for him to reach this level, so he could not ask for too much.
This caused Xiao Xiaolong's heart to violently contract. One must have a strong heart to discuss things with Owner Bu.
When the opening hours of the day were over, Bu Fang asked Xiao Xiaolong to stay behind.
"Come, follow me into the kitchen," Bu Fang said.
Xiao Xiaolong was stunned for a moment. He curiously followed Bu Fang into the kitchen. Inside the kitchen, Yu Fu was concentrating on cooking a dish of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. The fragrance of meat permeated the air, causing Xiao Xiaolong to be slightly surprised.
In other words, everything in Bu Fang's kitchen surprised Xiao Xiaolong. It was because this kitchen was completely different from the kitchen in his Xiao residence. It was as if he had arrived in a completely different world.
Everything was something that he had never heard of before.
Bu Fang skillfully cooked a round of Egg-Fried Rice. Then, he took out three sets of ingredients and placed them on the stove for Xiao Xiaolong to practice. It was the same as when he taught Yu Fu, simple and crude.
After he finished teaching Xiao Xiaolong, he returned to his room and went to sleep.
The kitchen was brightly lit. Xiao Xiaolong stared at everything in front of him. With the help of the enthusiastic Yu Fu, he casually started the first dish of Egg-Fried Rice.
The next day, Bu Fang opened his eyes and got off the bed. After washing up, he went to the kitchen and saw that there was another stove in the corner. He leaned against the kitchen door frame and patted Xiao Bai's big belly. The corners of his mouth curled up.
The solemn and earnest voice of the system resounded in his ears. "Congratulations to the host for completing the temporary mission: Find two apprentice chefs within a month. The mission reward has been issued."
