Bu Fang yawned as he opened the store's door. A gust of cold wind blew in along with the cold autumn rain. The pitter-patter of rain was like a curtain that covered the entire sky.
Bu Fang entered the kitchen and took out the radish to practice his daily knife skills. Then, he started cooking some other practice dishes. He carried the piping hot training dishes to Blacky.
"Blacky, it's time to eat." Bu Fang placed the dishes in the store and called Blacky in. It was still raining outside and it would be bad if the dishes got wet.
Blacky smelled the fragrance of the rice and lazily got up. It took enchanting cat-like steps and slowly stepped into the store … It gobbled up the food from the porcelain bowl.
Bu Fang was expressionless. Why was a dog walking cat-like steps?
Fatty Jin and his companions entered the store with their wet bodies under umbrellas. They greeted Bu Fang with a smile and placed the oil-paper umbrellas in their hands at the entrance.
"Owner Bu, good morning. Give me the same dish as yesterday." Fatty Jin casually sat on the table and patted off the rainwater on his robe as he said to Bu Fang. The other fatties also reported the names of their dishes.
Bu Fang nodded and calmly walked into the kitchen. After a while, a rich fragrance drifted out from the kitchen.
After sending off Fatty Jin and the others, Bu Fang welcomed a short break. Perhaps it was because it was raining today, there were fewer customers than usual.
"Smelly boss! Give me a bowl of Fish Head Tofu Soup! "
A loud shout came from outside the door. Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first.
Ouyang Xiaoyi excitedly ran in. Her pants were still wet from the rain, but she did not care at all.
"Smelly boss, I broke through! Hurry up and cook me Fish Head Tofu Soup! " Ouyang Xiaoyi's big eyes were flashing with excitement as she looked at Bu Fang with a face full of expectation.
Bu Fang was taken aback for a moment. Then, he carefully examined the little girl and discovered that there was indeed a faintly discernible true energy lingering around the surface of her body. Her true energy had reached the level of being able to be released, but she was still unable to control it with ease. It was obvious that she had just broken through.
"Oh, okay. Wait here," Bu Fang said expressionlessly, then went into the kitchen.
Ouyang Xiaoyi narrowed her eyes and a smile appeared on her adorable face. She leaned against the window and eagerly waited for the Fish Head Tofu Soup.
Bu Fang's speed was very fast. He was very familiar with ordinary dishes. Even though the cooking steps of the Fish Head Tofu Soup were troublesome, it was nothing to him.
The milky white fish soup emitted dense steam, the fresh and tender fish meat and the sparkling and translucent tofu were tender and juicy.
Bu Fang placed the Fish Head Tofu Soup by the window and Ouyang Xiaoyi eagerly carried it away. The two of them had a tacit understanding and their actions were as smooth as flowing water.
Bu Fang was quickly taken aback. "Isn't it time for the little loli to finish her work?"
As he glanced at Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was contentedly drinking the fish soup and eating the fish meat, a faint smile appeared on Bu Fang's stiff face.
Drinking a bowl of steaming hot Fish Head Tofu Soup on a rainy autumn day was simply the most comforting thing to do.
At the entrance of the alleyway, several figures were slowly approaching. The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.
The Xiao family had arrived with Xiao Yanyu, who was on the brink of death. However, none of the Xiao family members seemed to have any hope and their faces were filled with sorrow.
Xiao Meng was carrying his daughter, Xiao Yanyu, as he steadily walked toward Fang Fang's Little Store. His expression was extremely grim. Even the imperial physicians of the imperial palace said that they could not save her. He could only place his hopes on this unknown store.
Because he was worried, he had investigated the store a second time. Even though he did not find anything, at least … he inexplicably gained confidence in the store.
Bu Fang calmly watched as the Xiao family entered the store one after another. He gestured for them to sit down first.
Xiao Yanyu's face was paler than a sheet of paper. It was obvious that her life force was rapidly depleting and her aura was extremely weak.
Xiao Xiaolong's voice became slightly hoarse as he stared at Bu Fang and said, "You said … you could save my sister. I believed you, that's why I waited until today!"
Bu Fang nodded and indifferently replied, "Of course I can save her. However, I will need some time to cook the medicinal cuisine. You guys should wait here for a while."
"Then I will have to trouble Owner Bu." Xiao Xiaolong took a deep breath and slightly cupped his hands toward Bu Fang.
Bu Fang walked toward the kitchen and prepared to start cooking the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup.
Xiao Meng was sitting upright on his seat with an extremely solemn expression. No one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
After entering the kitchen, Bu Fang started to prepare.
After processing the Blood Phoenix Chicken according to the steps, he stuffed the spirit herbs into the stomach of the chicken. Then, he placed the entire chicken into the claypot and began to cook it. After the fragrance of the meat wafted out, Bu Fang poured in the Sage Herb Juice that he had prepared beforehand.
After taking a deep breath, Bu Fang gathered the true energy within his body and placed his palm on top of the claypot. Suddenly, a strange feeling began to emerge. It was as if his consciousness and the dish were connected together. True energy continuously gushed out and guided the cooking of the chicken soup.
Inside the store, the Xiao family members were a little impatient as they continuously paced back and forth. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier and the sound of the rain was ceaseless.
"Why are you so impatient? Sit down and wait quietly." Xiao Meng closed his eyes and indifferently scolded the Xiao family members who were pacing back and forth in front of him.
"Is … Is this store reliable? Even the imperial physicians can't do anything, what can a restaurant owner do? "the Xiao family's housekeeper muttered.
"I think so too. Even the imperial physicians can only keep the young miss alive. This person isn't even a physician, how can he treat the young miss' injuries?" A servant girl of Xiao Yanyu lightly sighed.
The others were also chattering non-stop in low voices, expressing their suspicions toward Bu Fang.
"Noisy! Shut up. " Xiao Meng closed his eyes and coldly scolded. Immediately, everyone became as quiet as cicadas in winter and no longer dared to whisper.
It was also at this moment that a rich fragrance drifted out from the kitchen. This fragrance contained the tender fragrance of the chicken and the medicinal fragrance of the spirit herbs.
Everyone immediately wrinkled their noses and continuously tried to capture this fragrance in the air.
Ji Chengxue, who was dressed in a white robe, leisurely walked over. He placed his umbrella at the entrance and was slightly surprised when he saw the slightly crowded crowd. When he entered the store, he realized that they were all members of the Xiao family.
"Greetings, Your Highness," Xiao Meng cupped his hands and said to Ji Chengxue.
Ji Chengxue's lips curled into a gentle smile as he nodded and returned the greeting. Then, he learned about the situation and found out that Xiao Yanyu was injured by someone and needed treatment from the store's owner.
"Owner Bu knows how to treat patients?" Ji Chengxue was extremely surprised.
"Hahaha! This store is really remote. It took me a long time to find it. " A loud laugh suddenly came from outside the door. Two figures walked into the store with the moisture of the autumn rain.
"Your Highness?" The members of the Xiao family were a little dumbfounded. It was quite unbelievable that a small store in a remote corner would attract two princes.
"Oh, so third brother is here as well. What a coincidence." The crown prince, Ji Chengan, smiled and then cupped his hands toward Xiao Meng.
"Where's Owner Bu?" Xushi asked in confusion.
"The smelly boss is preparing to treat elder sister Yanyu's injuries. Today's business hours have ended early," Ouyang Xiaoyi charmingly said. Alright, she had unconsciously assumed the role of a waitress again.
"Injuries?" A strange expression immediately appeared on the faces of the crown prince, Ji Chengan, and Xushi. They actually came to a small restaurant to treat their injuries? Were they sure they were not here to make a fool of themselves?
The fragrance of the meat in the air became even more intense, causing the waiting crowd to involuntarily feel a sense of hunger.
After a long while, a slender and skinny figure walked out of the kitchen with a steaming hot claypot in his hands.
Bu Fang expressionlessly walked out of the kitchen and placed the claypot on the table.
"This is the elixir cuisine used to treat Xiao Yanyu, the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup."
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Bu Fang expressionlessly said. After he finished speaking, he removed the lid of the claypot.
As soon as the lid was removed, hot steam rose into the air and a rich fragrance wafted out. The sparkling and translucent chicken meat was slightly trembling and the orange-yellow chicken soup was overflowing with light.
Everyone's pupils slightly constricted and then they fiercely inhaled.
