Was the bear's paw delicious? Most people would think that the bear's paw was a delicacy, but in reality, that was not the case.
Perhaps it was because of an ancient saying: Fish is what I want, and bear's paw is what I want. If I can't have both, I'll give up on the fish and take the bear's paw.
Everyone thought that the bear's paw was a rare delicacy, but in reality, it was not as delicious as they imagined.
However, Bu Fang did not mind. Regardless of whether the bear's paw was delicious or not, he would try his best to cook it into a delicacy.
Even if the taste of the bear's paw was terrible, it was still an ingredient of a Divine Realm spirit beast. How bad could it be?
Bu Fang placed the bear's paw into the basin and poured the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine into it. The fragrance of the wine spread, causing the unpleasant smell on the bear's paw to dissipate.
Originally, he should have smeared some honey on it, but Bu Fang did not prepare any. Instead, he used the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine to remove the smell.
The effects were similar. The Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine was rich in spiritual energy, and with the addition of the wine, the spiritual energy within the wine started to flow.
The broth in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok began to boil, and the spirit herb powder rolled around, releasing a fragrant smell.
Bu Fang fished out the bear's paw that had been soaked for a while and placed it into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok to boil.
…
Xiong Shi finally stopped grieving. He knew that there was no point in continuing to grieve like this. He needed to do his best to complete the pill concoction this time around. Only by completing the concoction would he have the chance to defeat the culprit who had killed him, Big Bear.
However, every time he thought of a chef cooking his big bear in front of him, his heart would ache. He did not know if it was the aftereffects of the Sorrowful Orchid or something else, but he felt like crying.
However, he did not cry in the end. He forcefully held back his tears and focused his attention on the alchemy furnace.
A ball of pink flame entered the furnace, and Xiong Shi finally put his heart and soul into concocting the elixir.
The farcical competition seemed to have returned to normal. Xiong Shi's alchemy skills were very strong, and many of the audience were worried about Bu Fang. However, there were also many who felt that Xiong Shi should be the one to worry about.
After all, it was not uncommon for Bu Fang's opponents to have their furnaces explode.
Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and seemed to be silently counting the time in his heart. After a long while, he opened his eyes and fished out the steaming hot bear paw from the Black Turtle Constellation Wok.
The steaming hot bear paw exuded a meaty aroma, and the meaty aroma carried a peculiar flavor.
After fishing out the bear paw, Bu Fang washed the Black Turtle Constellation Wok once again and poured in some Spirit Spring Water. Then, he added enough spirit herbs and placed the bear paw into the wok for the third time.
This time, the boiling speed was very fast. As soon as the water boiled, Bu Fang fished out the bear paw.
This time, Bu Fang seemed to be dealing with the bear paw for real.
He took out all the ingredients and first added some oil into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. He stir-fried the spirit herb that was filled with spirit energy. After stir-frying it for a while, he placed the bear paw that had been boiled three times into the wok.
He sprinkled the supreme beast meat and some spirit herbs into the wok. Then, he poured in some broth and started to simmer.
As he simmered, Bu Fang added some seasonings into the wok.
Bu Fang did not cover the wok with a lid, so steam rose up and the aroma of the bear meat spread out.
This aroma had a hint of fishy smell. However, this fishy smell was not smelly. Instead, it gave people a unique flavor.
The audience's eyes lit up as they stared at Bu Fang's Black Turtle Constellation Wok. They couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Many people were suddenly curious about the taste of the bear paw this time.
The five grandmasters on the high platform watched solemnly. They had tasted the barbecue that Bu Fang cooked previously, and this time, they got to see the bear paw.
They wondered how the bear paw would taste and how effective it would be …
"Actually, it should be pretty good this time. Look, there are so many spirit herbs mixed in. It looks more complicated than refining elixirs."
"Isn't that right? Alchemists look much simpler than cooking, but because it's so simple, it feels like we can't bring out the full effects of the spirit herbs."
"Alchemists and chefs are different. There's no point in talking about this."
The grandmasters discussed. They felt that this little chef's cooking skills were extraordinary. It seemed like he could provide them with some inspiration for refining elixirs.
However, inspiration was something that was hard to grasp.
Xiong Shi had already entered into a state of refining elixirs. He seemed to have gone crazy, and his eyes were bloodshot. The energy on his body surged, and the pink flame in his furnace roiled.
A fragrance of elixirs wafted out from his furnace.
He placed the bear paw into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok and simmered it for half a day. The bear paw was cooked until it was soft, and the meat was almost transparent. The bear paw, with its crisscrossed muscles, exuded a different kind of temptation.
It became more exquisite, and more beautiful.
Bu Fang took out a round blue and white porcelain plate and placed the simmered bear paw in the center of the plate. He also placed some spirit herbs around it as decoration.
The supreme beast meat that had been simmered together with the bear paw was placed around the bear paw. It was like a red flower set off by a green leaf. Steam rose from the meat, and the bear paw seemed to become even more enshrouded.
However, this didn't mean that Bu Fang had finished cooking the dish.
"Ah!"
However, just as Bu Fang was about to finish the last step, Xiong Shi's angry roar came from afar.
With a bang, the slightly hovering alchemy furnace smashed onto the bronze platform, causing the entire arena to tremble violently.
Xiong Shi was sweating profusely, and the tuft of hair on his head was in a mess. His eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to be a little violent.
He stared fixedly at Bu Fang, or rather, at the bear paw. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand. In an instant, the lid of the furnace opened, and a dense wave of energy spread out.
The energy wave was formless, and it spread out in all directions like ripples.
A pink-colored elixir floated out of the furnace, emitting waves of energy. There were two patterns on the surface of the elixir, and it glowed brightly.
He actually finished refining the elixir … This speed was extremely fast!
The audience finally noticed Xiong Shi, and their eyes widened. He finished refining the elixir just like that?
So fast?
It seemed like the furnace didn't explode this time … What a pity.
Many of the audience members, who didn't see the furnace explode, couldn't help but reveal expressions of pity.
Xiong Shi stared at Bu Fang, his hand tightly gripping the elixir.
Bu Fang glanced at Xiong Shi, then retracted his gaze and started preparing for the last step.
With a twist of the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, Bu Fang cut the ingredients and poured some oil into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. Then, he added the ingredients and the broth and began to stir-fry.
After stir-frying for a while, the broth became thicker and thicker.
Rumble …
The broth was bubbling, and every time a bubble popped, a wisp of spiritual energy would rise.
The thick broth had a ruddy color, and it looked like the sauce Bu Fang used when he cooked Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. However, compared to the sauce, this broth was much thicker.
Bu Fang turned off the fire and scooped up the wok. He used a ladle to pull through the thick silk thread and poured the thick broth onto the simmered bear paw.
Sizzle!
In an instant, hot steam rose into the air, and a fragrant aroma surged out of the wok.
The aroma wafted through the air and instantly filled the entire arena. The audience instantly smelled the aroma and their faces revealed intoxicated expressions.
"It smells so good! As expected, the products of this little chef are extraordinary! "
"Although it doesn't smell as good as the barbecue last time, this aroma seems to be restrained. It's a little different."
"The aroma of this dish isn't the strongest, but it's the most flavorful one!"
…
The audience seemed to have turned into seasoned diners, and they began to comment on the dish.
Picking up a plump white radish, Bu Fang glanced at Xiong Shi, and the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife danced in the air. The audience felt their vision blur, and they realized that the radish had been carved into the shape of a roaring bear.
The might of a bear was unrivalled …
When the bear was placed on the plate, the dish was finally completed.
"Red Braised Bear Paw … Done."
The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife twirled in his hand, and Bu Fang finally gripped it tightly. His face was expressionless.
Gulp …
The audience couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and they stared at the rosy bear paw. Their appetites were slightly aroused.
Although the aroma wasn't very strong, it had a special charm to it, and the audience found it hard to bear.
Xiong Shi looked at the sparkling and translucent bear paw on the blue and white porcelain plate, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
"My bear …"
When the judge saw that the two of them had finished cooking, he walked to the center of the two.
He looked at the bear paw with a strange gaze. Looking at the exquisite and beautiful Red Braised Bear Paw, the judge couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He had eaten many elixirs, but this kind of delicious food … It was his first time coming into contact with it.
In the sky, a majestic clamor suddenly came from above.
It was unknown when the five grandmasters had appeared on the stage.
The judge was taken aback, and he respectfully bowed to them.
"This round is a little special, so we will be the judges …" Grandmaster Xuan Ming said with his hands behind his back.
The other grandmasters nodded their heads solemnly, and their gazes landed on the bear paw.
"This dish … What is it called?" Grandmaster Xuan Ming looked at Bu Fang and asked.
The few of them surrounded the bear paw and looked at it. They realized that the bear paw was translucent, and there seemed to be spiritual energy circulating within it. Compared to the last time they roasted it, it seemed to be even more charming.
Xiong Shi held his two-mark spirit pill, and he was a little dumbfounded. Why did the five grandmasters come down …
If they came down, so be it … But can't they give me some attention?
I'm the victim here! The bear paw that kid used to cook … It's my big bear!
Xiong Shi suddenly felt as though he had been abandoned by the whole world, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.
"Is it this dish? Red Braised Bear Paw … The taste is not bad. "
Bu Fang glanced at Grandmaster Xuan Ming and said calmly.
After saying that, he picked up his signboard and started to seriously advertise his dish.
Everyone was already used to his stiff advertising, and they were more interested in the taste of the Red Braised Bear Paw.
The grandmasters looked at each other, and they picked up their chopsticks. After clinking them against each other on the bronze platform, they started to eat the bear paw.
When the chopsticks came into contact with the bear paw, the grandmasters were instantly shocked.
That was because the bear paw was incomparably soft. With a light push, a hole was torn open, and a resplendent radiance burst forth from the bear paw, illuminating the surroundings.
