"First attempt. Failure."
The system's voice rang out in Bu Fang's mind, causing him to be slightly startled. How could it fail? This fragrance was so strong...
Bu Fang took the claypot out from the fire and removed the lid. Dense steam accompanied by the chicken's fragrance assaulted his nostrils. Within the fragrance, there was also the fragrance of the Sage Herb. Bu Fang was slightly intoxicated as he greedily inhaled it.
Within the claypot, the blood-colored chicken was slightly trembling as if it was frozen and the chicken soup was still bubbling. Every time the bubbles burst, a fragrance would burst forth. After the Sage Herb's juice had been boiled, its purple color had already faded and it had actually turned into a faint greenish-yellow color. A layer of thick yellow foam floated on top of it, which was the crystallization of the elixir essence.
"Hmm?" Bu Fang furrowed his eyebrows and stared at the color of the chicken soup. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and a hint of regret appeared on his face.
That's right … It was indeed a failure. If it was a successful Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup, the color of the soup would not be greenish-yellow. Instead, it would be orange-yellow. That meant that the Sage Herb's juice had completely seeped into the chicken and reached the perfect medicinal effect.
"System Notice: During the cooking process of the Elixir Cuisine, the host can appropriately use his true energy to stimulate the Sage Herb's juice to seep into the chicken, maintaining the medicinal effect and enhancing the taste of the chicken," the system said.
"Use his true energy to stimulate it?" Bu Fang's eyes slightly lit up. He basically did not make any mistakes during the cooking process, but he still failed in the end. He was also reflecting and thinking about where exactly did he go wrong. Only after the system's reminder did he come to a realization.
He was cooking an Elixir Cuisine, so the spirit energy of the ingredients and herbs he used was very rich and abundant. If he wanted to perfectly neutralize the spirit energy of the ingredients and ingredients, it was very difficult to achieve just by cooking utensils. This required the intervention of true energy to complete this Elixir Cuisine.
Actually, it was not only the Elixir Cuisine. In the future, the cooking process of many delicacies might require the intervention of Bu Fang's true energy. This was also one of the reasons why the system helped Bu Fang convert the true energy from the crystals.
Many high-grade ingredients contained a huge amount of spirit energy. It was impossible to disperse the spirit energy just by relying on cooking utensils. If there was a mistake in handling it, it could easily lead to problems such as explosions. For ingredients that surpassed fifth grade, Bu Fang needed to consider this.
"Hu!" Bu Fang took a deep breath and called Xiao Bai over. Xiao Bai poured the failed Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup into it and recycled it.
He stretched his body and yawned. It was time to sleep. As a young man who wanted to be the God of Cooking at the top of the food chain in the fantasy world, Bu Fang had to maintain a proper routine. He would not go to bed when it was time to sleep.
Even though his first attempt at cooking the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup had failed, Bu Fang still had an enigmatic calmness.
Patting Xiao Bai's big belly, Bu Fang went back to his room and slept peacefully.
The next morning, Bu Fang got up, washed up, and started the day's business.
As usual, he practiced the Meteor Cutting Technique to complete today's daily task. At the same time, he cooked a Radish Egg Fried Rice with the radish that he cut. Hmm, the taste was not bad.
After tasting a mouthful, Bu Fang expressionlessly passed it to Blacky, who was sleeping at the entrance.
The store had gained some popularity. At the very least, there would be a group of loyal fatties appearing every morning when the business started. Fatty Jin and the other nouveau riches would come every day, regardless of the weather.
"Owner Bu, give us a serving of Golden Shumai! Oh, the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs actually costs fifty crystals. It's expensive enough, give us a serving as well! "Fatty Jin said with a smile as the fat on his face trembled.
The other fatties also ordered their dishes one after another. Thus, Bu Fang started his busy work. Ouyang Xiaoyi soon arrived as well. After working for a few days, she was already quite familiar with the process. She was extremely familiar with the dishes and was extremely familiar with serving them.
During the business hours, Bu Fang continued his business as usual. He did not spend any effort to figure out how to cook the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup and seemed to be very calm.
Xushi unhurriedly walked into the store. Ever since he was ordered by the crown prince to eat in this store, he was completely captivated by the delicacies of the store and came here almost every day.
"Little girl, give me a serving of Spicy Boiled Fish!" Xushi slightly nodded toward Ouyang Xiaoyi.
Spicy Boiled Fish was Xushi's favorite dish. He liked it even more than the Lees Fish and the Fish Head Tofu Soup. The feeling of contentedly picking up slices of smooth and fragrant fish meat and entering his mouth was simply intoxicating.
Spicy Boiled Fish? Bu Fang nodded his head and turned toward the fish tank. He quickly inserted both of his hands into the fish tank and pulled out a dark fish that was not too fat. This fish was a type of freshwater fish. Its grade was not high and it was one grade lower than the third grade Thunder Silver Carp. However, its meat was a lot more tender than the Thunder Silver Carp.
After pressing the lively fish onto the chopping board, the lively fish even spat out a mouthful of water at him, causing a patch of his clothes to become wet.
Bu Fang was expressionless as he used the kitchen knife to fiercely slap the fish's head. Then, he skillfully scraped off the scales and finally cut the fish meat into slices. His knife skills had become even more exquisite after a few days of practice and the speed at which he cut the fish slices was extremely fast.
After the fish slices were cut, the other steps were much faster. After the spirit vegetables were processed, they were all placed into a pot to cook. When the fragrance wafted out, the fish meat that had just been boiled with ginger water was poured into the pot to remove the fishy smell. After cooking for a while, it was placed on a plate.
The fragrance of the Spicy Boiled Fish that was glistening with oil was placed in front of Xushi. Xushi's eyes suddenly lit up and an impatient expression appeared on his face.
Perhaps even the crown prince himself did not know that the number one advisor under him was actually a big foodie.
Tap tap.
A middle-aged man with a face as handsome as a knife stepped into the store with both of his hands behind his back. His gaze was calm and cold and his aura was concealed.
The store was filled with the rich fragrance of the dishes, causing the middle-aged man to be slightly surprised.
"Hmm? Xiaoyi? What are you doing here? "When the middle-aged man saw Ouyang Xiaoyi, he was startled once again and asked in puzzlement.
The moment his voice came out, Xushi, who was about to stuff a piece of Spicy Boiled Fish into his mouth, suddenly trembled and the fish fell back into the bowl. The splashed oil droplets stained his beautiful beard.
"Xiao … Great General Xiao Meng?" Xushi suddenly turned his head and hurriedly stood up from his seat. He slightly cupped his hands toward Xiao Meng and said. My god … Great General Xiao Meng actually appeared in this little restaurant? This was important news and he had to inform His Highness the crown prince.
Xiao Meng nodded. Xiao Meng naturally knew the number one advisor under the crown prince. He also admired Xushi's ability to devise strategies and come up with brilliant plans. He was indeed a talent.
"Uncle … Xiao, why are you here as well?" Ouyang Xiaoyi was still quite afraid of Xiao Meng. After all, he was the number one expert in the imperial city and had accumulated a lot of prestige.
"Of course I'm here to eat." Xiao Meng simply replied and then turned his head to look at the menu. The sky-high price of the menu did not move him at all. In fact, his expression did not even change.
As expected of a seventh grade Battle-Saint, his temperament was truly steady.
Xushi secretly nodded and gave Xiao Meng a thumbs up in his mind.
"Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Improved Egg-Fried Rice, Lees Fish, Golden Shumai … and a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine." Xiao Meng stood with his hands behind his back and calmly reported the names of the dishes.
After Ouyang Xiaoyi memorized the names, she walked toward the kitchen and reported the dishes to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang was slightly surprised. "A big customer has arrived. So many dishes cost a lot of crystals …" He expressionlessly nodded and started cooking.
Xushi quickly finished his Spicy Boiled Fish. After bidding farewell to Xiao Meng, he quickly left. He was in a hurry to inform His Highness the crown prince.
The arrival of Great General Xiao in the little restaurant was a good opportunity for the crown prince to rope him in.
Not long after Xushi left, the dishes that Xiao Meng ordered were served one by one by the timid Ouyang Xiaoyi.
Every dish exuded a rich aroma. Even someone as indifferent as Xiao Meng could not help but be greatly surprised … Because after tasting the dishes, he discovered that they were unexpectedly delicious.
"Hmm, they are much better than the dishes at the number one restaurant in the imperial city, the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant."
Finally, the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine was personally served by Bu Fang. As soon as Bu Fang walked out of the kitchen, he was locked onto by Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng put down his chopsticks and looked at Bu Fang with a faint smile as he said, "Are you the owner? The Owner Bu who injured my daughter and said he could save her? "
