Boxes after boxes of exquisitely packaged jade boxes were brought in from outside the door and placed on the kitchen table, filling it to the brim.
After all, the Xiao family was one of the tycoons of the Southern City. To be able to be called a tycoon, it was definitely not something an ordinary family could compare to. Its resources were also not something an ordinary person could imagine.
Bu Fang curiously stood up and glanced at the spirit herbs. He discovered that all of them were actually quite precious. Among them, there was even a sixth grade spirit herb. For a tycoon family whose strongest battle prowess was only at the sixth grade Battle-Emperor level, this was indeed not an easy feat.
Bu Fang chose a few spirit herbs with strong medicinal properties from the dazzling array of spirit herbs and ordered the servants to remove the rest.
After eating two Oyster Pancakes, Bu Fang felt that the true energy within his body had recovered by quite a bit. His energy whirlpool had also resumed its normal operation.
After washing the chopping board, Bu Fang's hand was shrouded in green smoke. The pitch-black Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife appeared in his hand. He twirled the knife and twirled it.
Bu Fang then cut the selected spirit herbs into pieces and placed them on a porcelain plate. With the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, Bu Fang did not need to waste any effort to sense the spirit energy fluctuations within each spirit herb. He did not need to worry about the spirit energy dissipating within the spirit herbs, so he was very relaxed.
After processing the spirit herbs, Bu Fang took out a few spirit herbs that were used to neutralize the medicinal properties from the system's dimensional storage.
Bu Fang took out a piece of snow-white fish the size of a millstone and placed it on the chopping board. A faint milky fragrance was emitted from the fish.
Xiao Yanyu's eyes slightly lit up when she saw this piece of fish. This was the fish of a seventh grade spirit beast. Its value was extremely high and could not be compared to ordinary ingredients.
When the exceptionally intelligent Xiao Yanyu saw this piece of fish, she immediately understood Bu Fang's plan. In terms of quality, this piece of fish was the best among the Demonic Fish. Moreover, compared to the other pieces of fish, this piece of fish was not contaminated by the black energy, whereas the other parts of the Demonic Fish were contaminated. This meant that this piece of fish contained a substance that could resist the black energy contamination.
It was the most suitable ingredient to treat Xiao Keyun.
Bu Fang did have such a plan. He used clean water to wash the fish and his hands, then pinched the huge fish. This fish was very soft, but it was only on the surface. The inside was somewhat hard.
Bu Fang silently measured an area in his mind. Then, with a twirl of the kitchen knife, he carefully cut off a large piece of fish.
After putting away the rest of the fish into the system's storage space, there was only one piece of fish left on the chopping board, but it was already very big.
Because the snow-white fish had been sliced into thin slices, the veins on it were extremely obvious. Layers upon layers of tender red were extremely eye-catching.
After cutting the middle of the fish, he made a few more cuts on the sides of the fish so that the two pieces were still connected. After that, he cut the meat horizontally and made a cut.
After processing the fish, Bu Fang looked toward Xiao Yanyu and said, "Start the fire."
Xiao Yanyu nodded her head and started the fire. She often cooked, so she was not unfamiliar with starting a fire. For a young lady of a family, this was a rare and precious skill.
Not long after, the fire was lit. She poured some of the clear Heaven Mountain Spring Water that Bu Fang brought with him into the wok, then placed the processed fish into it.
The minced spirit herbs were poured into the wok and simmered together with the clear water in the wok.
After covering the wok with a lid, the true energy in Bu Fang's dantian circulated and covered the lid. He sensed the circulation routes of the spirit energy of the ingredients and spirit herbs in the wok.
"Keep the fire going, don't stop," Bu Fang said as he shot a glance at Xiao Yanyu, who was working hard to light the fire.
Xiao Yanyu's pretty face was slightly red from the heat of the fire. The redness was like an intoxicating lotus quietly blooming, releasing an enchanting aura.
After glaring at Bu Fang, Xiao Yanyu continued to light the fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger, causing the clear water in the wok to boil. However, Bu Fang was not in a hurry. His palm was still pressed on the lid of the wok. His true energy flowed like a small snake as he sensed the circulation routes of the spirit energy in the wok.
Under the catalysis of Bu Fang's true energy, many of the spirit herbs in the wok melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Like melting snow, they melted into the clear water, and the essence of the spirit herbs even seeped into the fish.
The fish became even whiter, as if there were rays of light circulating within it.
After the fire boiled for about an hour, the fish was finally cooked under the catalysis of Bu Fang's true energy. Bu Fang lifted the lid of the wok and steaming hot air gushed out. Like a huge mushroom, it soared into the sky, hit the ceiling and spread out.
Bu Fang took the spatula and scooped out the white and tender fish meat. Clear, sweet water dripped down from the meat, each crystal clear drop of crystal clear water.
He placed the snow-white fish into a huge porcelain bowl that he had prepared beforehand. The fish had a lustrous luster and was incomparably tender. Steam was rolling on top of the fish like small snakes, dispersing in all directions.
Bu Fang picked up a pair of chopsticks and pressed on the fish. Immediately, crystal clear juice flowed out from the fish.
A rich aroma similar to boiling milk wafted from the fish. This aroma made Bu Fang's heart feel as if it was about to melt.
Leaving the fish to one side, Bu Fang turned his attention to the clear fish soup. After skimming off the spirit herb dregs and foam floating on the surface of the soup, the boiling fish soup in the wok was as clear as water that had just been poured into it.
He took out the giant Blood Crown from the system's dimensional storage. The Blood Crown contained a large amount of spirit essence. After cutting a small piece, he placed the Blood Crown into the boiling water. True energy accompanied the Blood Crown, causing it to completely melt into the liquid like snow melting ice.
The juice immediately turned a light red and emitted a rich spiritual essence.
Xiao Yanyu had been observing Bu Fang's movements the entire time. Bu Fang's movements were as smooth as the floating clouds and flowing water, bringing with it a peculiar sense of beauty. Her eyes slightly lit up. Even though her face was a little red from the heat, her heart was burning with passion.
After watching for a while, she suddenly felt puzzled. She realized that Owner Bu's cooking steps were somewhat familiar.
"Isn't … isn't this the cooking method of the Dragon River Vinegar Fish?" Xiao Yanyu was shocked. The more she thought about it, the more similar it seemed. The only difference was the fish meat.
The Dragon River Fish in Vinegar Vinegar was a famous dish in Southern City. The steps were not difficult, but the control of the heat was the most important. Moreover, the most difficult part of this dish was mixing each seasoning into a thick sauce. If the sauce tasted good, then the Dragon River Fish in Vinegar Vinegar would taste good.
Owner Bu never had a thorough understanding of the Dragon River Vinegar Fish. How could he have perfect control of the heat? The concoction of the thick sauce could make the dish taste better?
More importantly … wasn't this an Elixir Cuisine? Could the Dragon River Vinegar Fish be made into an Elixir Cuisine?
While Xiao Yanyu was in a daze, Bu Fang had already started stirring the sauce. The thick sauce had a faint dark brown color and exuded an intoxicating sweet and sour aroma. Due to the addition of the Blood Crown, a single whiff of the aroma made one feel as if the spiritual essence within one's body was swimming like a dragon.
Bu Fang scooped up the sauce and then poured it out. The viscous sauce formed a dark brown line and slowly flowed back into the wok.
The energy vortex within Bu Fang's dantian was constantly rotating, not stopping for even a moment. The true energy that had just recovered by half was almost depleted again.
Twirling the ladle, the corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up. His eyes narrowed as he scooped up all the sauce from the wok.
When the sauce was poured onto the snow-white fish, the fish seemed to come to life. With a sudden inhalation and exhalation, the rich spiritual essence within the sauce was absorbed by the fish. Steaming hot steam soared into the sky and filled the air, accompanied by a sweet and sour aroma. It was an incomparably enchanting sight.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle.
A faint sound rang out, as if a spirit beast was roaring. Then, an indistinct silhouette of a spirit beast dissipated above the dish.
A storm-like wave of energy surged out, blowing Bu Fang's loose hair into the air.
Xiao Yanyu also stood up and looked excitedly at the dish that was emitting a surging spirit energy and aroma.
Was the Elixir Cuisine … completed?!
The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up. He took out another small piece of the Blood Crown, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it onto the dish.
"Elixir Cuisine, Blood Crown Drunken Demonic Fish, completed."
