"Did General Xiao Meng really go to that restaurant?" the crown prince, Ji Chengan, looked at Xushi in astonishment and puzzledly asked.
Xushi lightly stroked his long beard as the corners of his mouth curled up and he nodded. He was extremely shocked as well. He did not expect someone like General Xiao Meng to appear in a small restaurant.
"Did you find out why General Xiao Meng went to that restaurant?" the crown prince asked as he stood up and lightly paced around.
Xushi froze for a moment, then he frowned and answered with uncertainty, "Perhaps General Xiao was attracted by the taste of the restaurant's dishes …"
The crown prince turned around and stared at Xushi with a faint smile. "Do you think that's a realistic answer? General Xiao is a seventh grade Battle-Saint and has long reached the realm of inedia. He has no desire for food, so why would he go to a small restaurant in the middle of nowhere for the sake of delicacies? "
The corners of Xushi's mouth curled up. He was actually somewhat convinced that General Xiao went there for the delicacies. The crown prince had no idea because he had never tasted the dishes of that restaurant. However, once the crown prince had tasted the delicacies, he might not say the same.
In Xushi's opinion, that restaurant was truly miraculous.
"Yes, your highness is right. I'll go and investigate right away," Xushi said as he cupped his hands together and did not argue.
"Go. I see that you seem to be very appreciative of the delicacies of that restaurant. Is it really that delicious?" the crown prince asked as he indifferently glanced at Xushi. He was naturally very clear about Xushi's whereabouts.
"Yes, your highness. Especially the Boiled Fish … It's fragrant and tender!" Xushi's eyes lit up as he replied. Then he remembered that the person in front of him was the crown prince and immediately pursed his lips as he awkwardly smiled and excused himself.
"Boiled Fish … It sounds pretty good." The crown prince was startled for a moment, then he smiled.
...
Night fell and the moonlight was like a veil, covering the entire land with a layer of afterglow.
Fang Fang's Little Store, kitchen.
Bu Fang took a deep breath and took out the cage containing the Blood Phoenix Chicken from the cupboard. He took the Blood Phoenix Chicken out of the cage and allowed it to squawk non-stop.
After dealing with the Blood Phoenix Chicken, he plucked out all of its fresh blood like feathers and dealt with its internal organs. After that, Bu Fang once again started to cook the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup according to the recipe.
He made a cut on the plump body of the Sage Herb and poured the juice into a small bowl. Then, he sliced the Sage Herb and stuffed the other spirit herbs that he had prepared into the stomach of the Blood Phoenix Chicken. Finally, he took out a clay pot, poured some spirit spring water into it, and placed the processed Blood Phoenix Chicken inside.
Bu Fang turned on the fire and simmered it until a faint fragrance of meat wafted out. Bu Fang removed the lid and a dense steam assaulted his face, bringing with it the fragrance of meat and elixirs, making him feel refreshed. He poured the Sage Ginseng juice into the clay pot and covered it with the lid. The most important step was to begin.
"System, how do I cook with true energy? You're spraying true energy directly at the claypot? "Bu Fang asked in puzzlement.
"True energy cooking: The chef directs his true energy into the kitchenware. Through the penetration of the kitchenware, the true energy will nourish the ingredients. It tests the chef's ability to control true energy and the taste of the dish."
Through the introduction of the kitchenware, Bu Fang was startled. His gaze fell on the clay pot and he saw that it was emitting hot steam as it was being roasted by the flames.
"System, are you sure? Won't my hand be cooked if it touches the clay pot? "The corner of Bu Fang's mouth twitched.
"This clay pot is specially made. It will automatically adjust its temperature after sensing true energy. Host, please do not worry," the system solemnly said.
Bu Fang was skeptical. He raised his hand and a lustrous brilliance circulated on his palm, as if it was covered by a layer of gauze.
A third grade Battle-Maniac was able to externalize true energy, which was the minimum requirement for true energy cooking.
With a solemn expression, Bu Fang slowly pressed his palm, which was covered with true energy, onto the lid of the clay pot. A faint warmth was transmitted from the lid to Bu Fang's palm. The scorching heat that he imagined did not occur.
"How magical," Bu Fang exclaimed in surprise.
Then, he closed his eyes and mobilized the true energy within his body. He slowly urged the true energy to flow through the clay pot and into the ingredients that were boiling in the pot …
This was a kind of invisible infiltration, like the spring breeze silently sneaking into the night.
Through the lid of the clay pot, Bu Fang seemed to be able to sense the changes in the ingredients in the pot. Under the nourishment of true energy, the Sage Ginseng juice was also rapidly seeping into the chicken meat.
After pouring out true energy like this for about an hour, Bu Fang slowly withdrew his hand and stopped pouring out true energy.
Tiny beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead. The consumption of true energy made him feel a little tired.
After sitting on the chair to recover for a while, another hour passed. Bu Fang once again carried out true energy cooking. The true energy within his body flowed into the clay pot according to his will and continuously nourished the ingredients.
After the hour was over, Bu Fang once again withdrew his hand and let out a long breath. He used a towel to wipe off the beads of sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, an extremely rich aroma was unknowingly drifting out from the kitchen. This aroma contained the fragrance of meat, spirit herbs, and Sage Ginseng.
Compared to yesterday, this aroma was even more alluring. If yesterday's aroma made one feel like they were swimming in a small river, then today's aroma made one feel like they were in a surging river.
Bu Fang could not help but twitch his nose. The rich aroma made him feel a little intoxicated. This was true energy cooking. As expected, it was much more powerful than ordinary cooking. The taste was definitely much better as well.
True energy was like a seasoning. When it was added into the ingredients, it would undergo a special catalysis, causing the ingredients to become even more delicious. Furthermore, it would allow the spirit energy contained within the ingredients to seep into every part of the ingredients more evenly.
After stewing the two ingredients and using true energy to cook it for two hours, the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup was finally completed. Even Bu Fang felt extremely hungry just by smelling the aroma of the soup.
He placed the clay pot on the table and uncovered the lid. A rich aroma immediately surged out and hot steam spread out along with the aroma.
After greedily inhaling a breath, Bu Fang's gaze finally landed on the pot.
Once he took a look, an indescribable joy immediately appeared on his stiff face. "It's a success!"
The Blood Phoenix Chicken was quietly lying in the clay pot. The chicken meat was sparkling and translucent like a piece of jelly and was slightly trembling under the stirring of the steam. The color of the chicken soup was orange-yellow and there was no essence floating around like yesterday. It was obvious that under the true energy cooking, the essence had completely seeped into the chicken soup.
Gulp. Bu Fang's appetite was greatly aroused. The chicken meat of the Blood Phoenix Chicken was as exquisite and beautiful as a work of art. It made one want to take a bite out of it.
"System, the Sage Ginseng Phoenix Chicken Soup should be considered a success this time, right?" Bu Fang proudly said to the system. He was a genius, how difficult was it for him to cook with true energy?
"It barely reached the passing standard. Does the host really want the system to evaluate the Sage Ginseng Phoenix Chicken Soup this time?" The system solemnly and earnestly asked.
Bu Fang was slightly startled. Before he could react, the system solemnly opened its mouth.
"The host did not manage to keep the Blood Phoenix Chicken in a complete state. The skin and flesh were slightly damaged. The time when the juice of the Sage Ginseng was poured in was not ripe. The Sage Ginseng's meat was not cut evenly and fine enough. The control of true energy during the true energy cooking process was weak and the level of true energy was too low. Overall evaluation: Sage Ginseng Phoenix Chicken Soup that stepped on the passing line."
Bu Fang expressionlessly glanced at the chicken soup. The chicken soup that he originally thought was perfect became not so perfect and the aroma seemed to have become weaker as well.
"A system with a venomous tongue will not be able to obtain the host's true love!"
Bu Fang was very angry. He planned to drink a bowl of chicken soup to calm his anger and turned his attention to the Sage Ginseng Phoenix Chicken Soup.
It was his first time tasting a dish cooked with true energy. Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
