By the time Bu Fang returned to the store, it was already late at night.
Within the vicinity of the store, it was rare to see other people. Everyone had gone back to rest.
Carrying the board, Bu Fang returned to the store and opened the bronze door. The heavy bronze door creaked as it opened. Bu Fang placed the board back on the table, stretched his body, and stepped into the store.
As soon as he entered the store, he felt two faint gazes. At the dining table in the distance, You and Lord Gou were lying on their stomachs, staring at Bu Fang, who had just returned.
The gaze of a man and a dog slightly startled Bu Fang.
"What's wrong?" Bu Fang asked in puzzlement. He pulled a chair over and sat down. His whole body curled up on the chair, and he took in a deep breath, allowing himself to relax for a while.
Today, he was cooking a barbecue. This was a dish that required a lot of energy. Because it was combined with the Gourmet Array, it put a lot of pressure on one's mind.
Although it seemed easy for Bu Fang to cook, only he knew the difficulty involved.
"We are … hungry," You expressionlessly looked at Bu Fang, and she pouted her lips.
Lord Gou's eyes were also shining with sincerity. He stared at Bu Fang, and he stuck out his tongue to show that he agreed with You.
"These two gluttons …" Bu Fang was somewhat speechless. He muttered to himself, then stood up and walked toward the kitchen.
You squinted her eyes, looking at Bu Fang's back, and pouted. Whenever she was in a good mood, she would unconsciously pout.
Bu Fang walked into the kitchen, and he skillfully lit the stove. In a short while, a fragrant aroma wafted out of the kitchen.
He had already memorized the cooking methods of the Dragon Blood Rice and Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, so it was easy for him to cook them.
He shook the wok and stir-fried them. The aroma filled the air, and the sound of sizzling resounded unceasingly.
After a long time, the kitchen finally quieted down.
You and Lord Gou, who were in the store, were already somewhat impatient.
They looked in the direction of the kitchen, where a slender and thin figure slowly walked out.
"Here's You's Dragon Blood Rice, Blacky's Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs …" Bu Fang said calmly as he placed the dishes in front of the man and the dog.
The eyes of You and the Lord Gou immediately lit up. They gobbled down the porcelain plates and began to eat. The way the man and the dog ate was quite similar.
Bu Fang was not hungry, so he continued to lie on the chair and watched them eat happily.
He had already advanced into the top 50 of the Magical Hand Conference, but the department still hadn't indicated that he had completed the temporary task. It seemed that he still needed to advance further.
The fame of the top fifty in the Magical Hand Conference wasn't enough …
Bu Fang rubbed his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
Because of this competition, his store's business was a little messy, which made him a little unhappy. All of this was related to his cultivation. Although the business of Fang Fang's Little Store in the Light Wind Imperial City would also provide him with cultivation, without it, Bu Fang would always feel flustered.
Lord Gou and You quickly finished eating. After these two gluttons finished eating, one climbed in front of the Path-Understanding Tree, while the other went into the Netherworld Ship …
Only the clean porcelain plates were left on the table.
Letting out a yawn, Bu Fang picked up the porcelain plates and returned to the kitchen.
Xiao Bai was still quietly standing at the entrance of the kitchen, his eyes flickering with a purple light. Bu Fang patted Xiao Bai's plump belly and placed the porcelain plates in the dishwasher. He pulled the sleeping Xiaopi off his shoulder and placed it on Xiao Bai's plump head.
Bu Fang returned to his room and took a hot bath in the bathroom. He dried his wet hair and walked around the room. Finally, he lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
…
Rumble!
The ground trembled and a figure the size of a small mountain appeared. It was a spirit beast that looked like a giant bear. Its aura was majestic and its strength was incomparable.
Beside this spirit beast stood a tall and sturdy figure. It was Xiong Shi, who had participated in the Magical Hand Conference.
"Is that the Cloud Mist Restaurant? I didn't think that there would be a restaurant in Heavenly Mist City … "Xiong Shi grinned.
His opponent in the next round was Bu Fang, a dark horse who had made a name for himself in this year's Magical Hand Conference … the chef.
A chef … When Xiong Shi thought about his next opponent being a chef, his heart didn't waver. In fact, he wanted to laugh.
He had never competed with a chef before!
However, he didn't let his guard down. Even Sorceress An Sheng had been defeated, so he had no choice but to be serious.
Sorceress An Sheng was a genius alchemist from Heavenly Pill City, while he, Xiong Shi, was an alchemist from Heavenly Shine City. Although the two of them were from different cities, their alchemy skills were similar. However, in terms of ranking, Xiong Shi was slightly stronger than An Sheng.
It wasn't because of his strength, but because of his methods.
For Xiong Shi to be able to suppress An Sheng in the rankings, he naturally had his own methods.
Even though Xiong Shi seemed boorish and careless, he was actually a very meticulous person. He would study his opponent thoroughly.
Only by knowing oneself and one's enemy could one win a hundred battles. Furthermore, after studying his opponent thoroughly, he would be able to come up with a plan to counter his opponent.
This way, it would be easier for him to obtain victory.
"Big Bear … This is our next opponent! Tell me, if you destroy the restaurant with a single slap, that chef will definitely be in a mess since he cares so much about the restaurant. In that case, don't you think we've won? "Xiong Shi asked as he rubbed Big Bear's furry belly.
Big Bear let out a roar and started panting.
However, Xiong Shi wasn't in a hurry to make a move. He only looked at the Cloud Mist Restaurant for a moment before leaving with Big Bear.
…
The next morning, Bu Fang woke up early. After washing up, he went downstairs and practiced his cutting and carving skills in the kitchen.
After cooking breakfast, Bu Fang walked out of the kitchen. After the two humans and a dog finished their breakfast, Bu Fang opened the bronze door of the store. When he opened the door, he saw that there were already many people queuing up outside.
Bu Fang was a little dazed as he looked at the first big guy in line.
This customer was extremely boorish and his body was covered with muscles like a bear. However, his head was wrapped in a cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes. He looked extremely mysterious.
"You … What would you like to eat?"
Bu Fang looked at this person with an odd expression. Even though he felt that it was strange, he didn't ask too much.
The boorish figure stepped into the store. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked left and right. It was as if he was sizing up every inch of the store.
Finally, he sat down and looked at the menu hanging on the wall. His pupils slightly constricted.
"What would you like to eat?" You walked in front of this person expressionlessly and asked coldly.
"A serving of Egg-Fried Rice."
The boorish man, whose head was wrapped tightly, said after thinking for a long time.
You glanced at him and didn't say anything. Then, she continued to walk toward the other tables.
After recording down all the dishes, she walked to the window of the kitchen and reported all the dishes to Bu Fang.
The boorish man, whose head was wrapped tightly, looked around randomly.
A black dog, a woman … There was even a Path-Understanding Tree in the corner of the restaurant. This restaurant was a little simple, but it was also very plain.
It seemed that this chef's character was very simple, and he liked simple things.
The kitchen was separated from the store, so people couldn't see what was going on in the kitchen. Therefore, this chef's character should be a little eccentric!
Hmm … The boorish man, who was wrapped in a cloth, took out a jade talisman and recorded something on it.
The surrounding customers looked at this boorish man with an odd expression. They were a little speechless.
This person was actually sneakily sizing up Nethery's body … How vulgar!
Wasn't he afraid of being beaten to death by Nethery?!
"Your Egg-Fried Rice …" You was still so cold. She placed the Egg-Fried Rice in front of the boorish man, coldly glanced at him, then turned around and left.
Egg-Fried Rice? It smelled so good!
The boorish man's heart skipped a beat. His eyes looked at the glittering Egg-Fried Rice, and his mind was a little shaken.
The aroma rolled and drilled into his nose, making all the pores on his body open.
The boorish man opened the cloth on his face, revealing his wide mouth. He pinched his thumb and middle finger, holding a porcelain spoon, scooped a spoonful of Egg-Fried Rice, and stuffed it into his mouth.
After just one bite, the boorish man's eyes widened!
"This … this taste!" The boorish man felt as if his world was about to be overturned!
He took a deep breath and took out a jade talisman to record. His thumb and middle finger pinched the porcelain spoon, scooped a spoonful, and recorded … The plate of Egg-Fried Rice was quickly finished.
"Boss! Give me another plate of Egg-Fried Rice! "The boorish man licked his lips as he turned around and shouted.
You floated over and coldly said, "Each person can only order the dishes of this store once a day …"
The man with the cloth cloth was stunned. Only once?!
This meant that this chef was a rigid and inflexible person! The boorish man pursed his lips and carefully recorded in the jade talisman.
You looked at the boorish man with a strange expression. She didn't know what he was doing, but she was too lazy to care about him. You then floated away.
The boorish man looked left and right in the restaurant, and from time to time, he would record something in the jade talisman.
The customers all thought that this boorish man was sick … Not sick, but wretched!
The boorish man even wanted to enter the kitchen, but he was stopped by the purple-eyed Xiao Bai.
When he saw Xiao Bai, the boorish man was shocked, and he hurriedly recorded it in the jade talisman …
A puppet no weaker than a Divine Realm expert!
In the end, the boorish man felt that there was no place for him to record, so he walked out of the store with a satisfied expression. Under the strange gazes of the customers, he gradually walked away and disappeared.
To the Cloud Mist Restaurant, this was just a small interlude. Bu Fang didn't even know what happened.
The Cloud Mist Restaurant continued to operate. Because of Bu Fang's promotion, the restaurant was very popular!
…
After walking for a long time, he turned a corner and came in. The burly man wrapped in a cloth cloth untied the cloth around his head, revealing a rough face.
This person was Xiong Shi in disguise.
Holding the jade talisman in his hand, Xiong Shi smiled.
"This information is enough to analyze this little chef's character, methods, and abilities … Then, I can use it to target him! Hmph! Victory will definitely belong to me! "
Xiong Shi was very confident. After a morning's worth of information, he felt that this chef was no longer a threat.
"The real competition has already begun outside the arena! The victory outside the arena will eventually lead to the victory inside the arena! "
Buzz …
A ripple spread out, and a giant bear appeared beside him. Xiong Shi rubbed the belly of the giant bear as he sneered.
"Big Bear, Master has a difficult task for you! Tonight … "
