Looking at Xiao Xiaolong's blushing face, Bu Fang gave him a meaningful glance and faintly curled up the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Xiaolong blinked his eyes and his fair skin seemed to be tainted with a layer of captivating red. However, he still stubbornly said, "Let me tell you, the reason I tasted your Egg-Fried Rice was not because I accepted the price, but because I wanted to test it with my own body and prove that your Egg-Fried Rice is not worth the price!"
"Got it, a bowl of Egg-Fried Rice, right? Just wait." Bu Fang expressionlessly said. He waved his hand and walked toward the kitchen. "Oh, that's right, our store's Dry-Mixed Noodles and Stir-Fried Vegetables are pretty good as well. Do you want one?"
"I heard that Egg-Fried Rice and Stir-Fried Vegetables go together better." Bu Fang, who paused at the entrance of the kitchen, turned around and shamelessly promoted the other two dishes.
Xiao Xiaolong was stunned for a moment. Then, he glanced at the prices of the two dishes and felt as though his heart was pierced by an invisible arrow.
"No need! Just give me the Egg-Fried Rice. "
"Oh, alright then. What a pity." Bu Fang nodded and turned around to enter the kitchen.
Looking at Bu Fang's calm expression, Xiao Xiaolong really wanted to go up and give him a good beating. A bowl of Stir-Fried Vegetables costs a hundred gold coins. Do you really think I'm a fool? A bowl of Stir-Fried Vegetables that cost at most ten copper coins is sold for a hundred gold coins? In the entire continent, only this weird store would be able to do such a thing.
While Bu Fang was cooking the Egg-Fried Rice, Xiao Xiaolong was bored to death. His gaze naturally fell on the big black dog at the entrance. Oh, no, it was the bowl that the big black dog was chewing on.
Xiao Xiaolong recalled the fragrance of the Egg-Fried Rice that he had smelled just now. That silk-like, soft fragrance, which was like a lover's caress, greatly increased his appetite. His stomach rumbled like thunder. Fortunately, there were no other customers in this restaurant apart from him. Otherwise, Young Master Xiao, who had always been known for being elegant and graceful in the imperial city, would have lost a lot of face.
The big black dog's desperate action of eating the porcelain bowl froze. As if it had sensed something, it raised its head, and its eyes fell on Xiao Xiaolong. Seeing that the stupid human was still staring at its porcelain bowl, the big black dog was furious!
The dog pushed the porcelain bowl with its paw, stood up, and faced Xiao Xiaolong with its butt. It blocked Xiao Xiaolong's line of sight before it continued eating.
Xiao Xiaolong felt that his heart was once again pierced by an invisible arrow … He was actually despised by this big black dog again!
"Humph! Why would this young master want to eat something that a dog like you eats?! What a snob! Humph! "Xiao Xiaolong was so angry that he angrily snorted in his heart.
Five minutes later, a rich fragrance once again drifted out from the kitchen. That fragrance made Xiao Xiaolong extremely intoxicated. The mellow fragrance of the egg mixed with the faint fragrance of the rice. Just by smelling the fragrance, Xiao Xiaolong could not help but salivate.
"It is indeed fragrant, but selling it for one crystal still feels a little insane!" Xiao Xiaolong swallowed his saliva and snorted in his heart.
Finally, Bu Fang's figure walked out from the kitchen with a plate in his hand. A rich fragrance spread out from the plate, enveloping the entire restaurant in the aroma.
"Your Egg-Fried Rice, please enjoy."
Bu Fang expressionlessly said as he placed the Egg-Fried Rice in front of Xiao Xiaolong.
White smoke floated up from the bowl, rolled in front of Xiao Xiaolong, and then dissipated. It was like an exploding fragrance bomb, causing Xiao Xiaolong to uncontrollably take a deep breath.
Ignoring Bu Fang, Xiao Xiaolong's gaze was fixated on the Egg-Fried Rice. A Egg-Fried Rice that dared to sell for one crystal … was definitely not an ordinary Egg-Fried Rice!
On the white porcelain plate, there were pearl-like round rice grains. Every grain of rice was wrapped in a golden egg liquid. The egg liquid was not completely cooked and had a somewhat viscous appearance, as if it was covered with a layer of egg juice. However, the viscosity of the egg juice was just right. It was eighty percent cooked. When it was wrapped together with the rice grains, it was as if a golden gauze was draped over it, giving off a golden glow.
"This … This is really glowing!" Xiao Xiaolong blankly stared at this plate of Egg-Fried Rice that he had never seen before.
He had never even thought that Egg-Fried Rice could be made into such an appearance. It was simply as exquisite as a work of art.
Xiao Xiaolong's status was noble. As the third son of the Imperial General, he had tasted all kinds of delicacies in the General's Mansion. Naturally, he had seen the Egg-Fried Rice made by his own family's chef. He had even eaten the Egg-Fried Rice made by the imperial chefs in the palace … However, compared to the glowing Egg-Fried Rice in front of him, those Egg-Fried Rice paled in comparison, be it in terms of fragrance or appearance.
In fact, this plate of Egg-Fried Rice only had eggs and rice. There were no other extra ingredients, not even chopped green onions. However, Xiao Xiaolong had an inexplicable feeling that this Egg-Fried Rice was definitely countless times more delicious than the ones made by the imperial chefs in the palace!
Grabbing the blue and white porcelain spoon that was neatly placed on the table, Xiao Xiaolong licked his lips and carefully scooped up a spoonful of Egg-Fried Rice. The viscous egg liquid even formed a thin thread. As soon as he scooped up the rice, a rich aroma immediately assaulted Xiao Xiaolong's taste buds.
Without caring about anything else, Xiao Xiaolong shoved the Egg-Fried Rice into his mouth.
As soon as the Egg-Fried Rice entered his mouth, a strong aroma immediately assaulted Xiao Xiaolong's taste buds. The originally viscous egg liquid instantly solidified and became soft upon entering his mouth. The fragrance of the pearl-like round rice grains mixed with the soft and solid egg fragrance instantly bombarded Xiao Xiaolong's taste buds!
"Oh my god! How can there be such a delicious Egg-Fried Rice in this world?! I actually have an urge to cry! "
Xiao Xiaolong was completely intoxicated by the Egg-Fried Rice. It was as if he was swimming in an ocean formed by the Egg-Fried Rice's aroma, unable to extricate himself.
Spoonful after spoonful of Egg-Fried Rice, Xiao Xiaolong would occasionally exhale from the fragrant and hot rice. However, he simply could not stop.
"Munch, munch!"
Xiao Xiaolong's entire body was buried in the bowl of Egg-Fried Rice. He was eating to his heart's content. His appearance was somewhat similar to the big black dog eating Egg-Fried Rice at the entrance.
"Delicious!" Xiao Xiaolong scooped and ate the rice in one go. Along with his exclamation of delicious, a few golden rice grains spurted out from his mouth. Xiao Xiaolong's eyes widened as he picked up the rice grains that fell onto the table and continued stuffing them into his mouth.
Bu Fang pulled a chair and sat opposite of Xiao Xiaolong. He calmly watched this scene. Xiao Xiaolong's table manners were actually within Bu Fang's expectations. When he first ate this Egg-Fried Rice, his appearance was not much better than Xiao Xiaolong's.
When Xiao Xiaolong licked the celadon plate clean, his tongue circled around the plate once, and when the last grain of rice was sucked into his mouth, he finally exhaled a mouthful of hot air. His face was filled with satisfaction.
"This is Egg-Fried Rice?! It's simply inconceivable. My family's chef, no … even the imperial chefs don't have such skills! "Xiao Xiaolong muttered to himself. Bu Fang did not say anything as he sat coldly at the side.
"Is this Egg-Fried Rice worth a crystal now?" Bu Fang opened his mouth and asked Xiao Xiaolong.
However, Xiao Xiaolong frowned. He smacked his lips and said, "Although this Egg-Fried Rice is a rare delicacy in this world, do you know what a crystal means?"
"Crystals can assist a cultivator's cultivation. Can your Egg-Fried Rice do the same? The two are not on the same value line. However, I still have to admit that your Egg-Fried Rice is delicious! "
Bu Fang raised his eyebrows in surprise. He did not expect Xiao Xiaolong to come up with such a theory. Although what he said seemed to make sense, but … was this sissy trying to renege on his debt?!
Just when Bu Fang was about to open his mouth, Xiao Xiaolong's fair and tender face suddenly flushed red. His entire body emitted a sparkling radiance, as if there was a stream of air flowing around his body.
"Burp!"
A burp rang out. The redness on Xiao Xiaolong's face faded away. However, the way he looked at Bu Fang became extremely strange and passionate.
His voice was even slightly trembling …
"Tell … Tell me, what exactly are the ingredients of your Egg-Fried Rice?!"
