One autumn rain, one cold. Ten autumn rains put on cotton.
After a few rounds of autumn rain, the temperature in the imperial city gradually dropped. The autumn wind also began to turn bone-chilling. When Bu Fang woke up early in the morning, he was so cold that he did not want to leave his bed.
After washing up, Bu Fang wrapped himself in a thick coat and opened the door. The cold wind quickly squeezed in and drilled into his back along his neck. He immediately felt a piercing chill.
Bu Fang rubbed his hands and lightly sucked in a breath of cold air.
Glancing at Blacky who was lying on the ground, Bu Fang curled his lips. This lazy dog … It only knew how to sleep all day long. Why didn't it have any awareness of being a supreme spirit beast? Shouldn't it be standing majestically at the entrance to raise the store's prestige?
"Kid, this Lord Gou wants to eat Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs." Blacky opened its sleepy eyes and lazily said to Bu Fang. Its voice was not very old, but it had a kind of manly aura and was full of magnetism...
Bu Fang raised his eyebrows. "You lazy dog. You eat and drink for free and now you're ordering dishes?"
Blacky rolled its eyes and ignored Bu Fang. It lowered its head and just lay on the ground. Its meaning was obvious: "Cook it if you want."
Bu Fang was furious … "This lazy dog actually dared to ignore me. Isn't it afraid that I'll add a big spoon of Abyssal Chili Sauce to the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs? It's so spicy that you want to die. "
Bu Fang turned around and walked back into the kitchen. Even though he said that he did not want to help Blacky cook Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Blacky's help yesterday was still a great help. Therefore, Bu Fang reluctantly agreed to his request this time.
He took out some of the main ingredients needed to cook Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs from the fridge: the ribs of the Flying Cloud Pig, some starch, and a sauce.
Bu Fang placed the rib on the wooden chopping board and waved his hand forward. Immediately, a kitchen knife that was flickering with a cold light spun in his hand. After twirling the knife for a few times, Bu Fang quickly slapped the back of the kitchen knife onto the rib.
First, he patted the meat to loosen it up a little. This way, it would be easier to chop the meat. After practicing the Meteor Cutting Technique for so many days, Bu Fang's cutting technique had also improved qualitatively. Only a flash of light could be seen as the kitchen knife ruthlessly chopped the tenderloin meat.
The first time he cooked the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Bu Fang found it very difficult to chop the meat. Now, with the improvement of his Knife Skill, chopping the meat became a lot easier.
He chopped the ribs of the Rushing Cloud Boar brimming with spirit energy into pieces and placed them into the starch paste that he had just prepared, causing every piece of meat to be wrapped in starch.
He poured half a wok of oil into it and waited for the rising steam to burn his hands. Then, he placed the meat wrapped in starch paste into the wok.
Sizzle!
The meat in the wok was boiling and an aroma wafted out from it.
After all of the meat was fried, Bu Fang placed them into a large bowl and mixed the tangerine sauce with it. Finally, he placed them on a plate.
"Blacky, it's time to eat," Bu Fang said softly as he walked out of the kitchen while carrying the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs.
Blacky's half-squinted eyes immediately lit up. Its nose twitched and it stuck out its tongue as it impatiently gazed at the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in Bu Fang's hands.
Bu Fang placed the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in front of Blacky. Blacky wagged its tail and gobbled down the ribs.
The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up as he stroked Blacky's smooth fur. He stood up and pulled a chair to sit at the entrance of the store as he leisurely basked in the sun.
Even though a battle between the empire's top experts took place in the store yesterday, for Bu Fang, there was not much of a change in his life.
The late autumn sun was even warmer and more comfortable. Under the illumination of the sunlight, the fragrance emitted by his clothes was intoxicating.
What a beautiful day it was.
In the distance, Fatty Jin and a group of people were majestically walking over. Fatty Jin, who was leading the group, was limping and his fat face was slightly swollen.
"Good morning, Owner Bu. Basking in the sun, how leisurely," Fatty Jin greeted Bu Fang.
Bu Fang nodded his head and stared at him with a puzzled expression as he said, "Why is your face swollen? You are already very fat, there is no need to beat your face until it's swollen. "
"Owner Bu … Can we still have a proper conversation? This is all because of you." Speaking of the injury on his face, Fatty Jin's eyes were filled with resentment.
"Your Oyster Pancake was too fragrant …" Fatty Jin told Bu Fang everything that happened on the execution ground yesterday, causing Bu Fang to be slightly dazed …
It turned out that the Oyster Pancake's first appearance yesterday was already so amazing.
"You did such an inhumane thing, why didn't he beat you to death …" Bu Fang stood up and loosened his muscles as he calmly said. Then, he walked toward the kitchen.
Fatty Jin did not know whether to laugh or cry. This Owner Bu had actually learned to mock others. "Owner Bu, today's meal is the same as usual."
Bu Fang waved his hand to indicate that he understood. Not long after, a rich aroma wafted out of the kitchen.
Ouyang Xiaoyi skipped over. She was in a good mood today.
"Yo, Fatty Jin, what are you trying to do by slapping your face until it's swollen?" Once Ouyang Xiaoyi entered the store and saw Fatty Jin's miserable appearance, she immediately laughed out loud with malicious intentions.
Fatty Jin immediately let out a bitter smile. Under Ouyang Xiaoyi's continuous questioning, he once again told the story of the Oyster Pancake.
"Is that Oyster Pancake really that delicious? Then I'll have to ask the smelly boss to cook one later. I'll bring it back for my parents and grandfather to try, "Ouyang Xiaoyi thought to herself.
"Xiaoyi, serve the dishes," Bu Fang calmly shouted when he heard the laughter coming from the store. He knew that Ouyang Xiaoyi had arrived.
"Hey!" Ouyang Xiaoyi eagerly ran to the window and served the dishes that Fatty Jin and the others had ordered.
After Fatty Jin and the others were satisfied with their meal, they paid the bill and left. Before leaving, they naturally gave each of them a serving of Oyster Pancake.
Ji Chengxue elegantly walked over in a white robe. He was a regular customer of the store and always had a gentle smile on his face.
"Your Highness, what would you like to eat?" Ouyang Xiaoyi asked.
"A serving of Lees Fish and a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine," Ji Chengxue chuckled.
Not long after, the dishes were served. Ji Chengxue contentedly poured himself a cup of Lees Fish and drank the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine.
At the entrance of the alleyway, a white-haired figure swayed his waist as he walked over.
"Aiyo, my little heart. Why are you still here, you dog?! You are a supreme spirit beast after all, can you show off the domineering aura of a supreme spirit beast? "
Lian Fu was wearing casual clothes today. His white hair was tied up with a bronze crown and his face was fair and clean. When he saw Blacky, he felt a chill in his heart. He pinched his thumb and middle finger and snorted.
Blacky could not be bothered with this damned eunuch. It slowly gnawed on the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs with a face full of enjoyment. The aroma permeated the air.
"Mhmm! It … it's really fragrant, "Lian Fu mumbled as he waved his thumb and middle finger.
Blacky's figure paused and vigilantly glanced at the damned eunuch. It then turned around and faced Lian Fu with its butt as it continued to gnaw on its Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs.
Rare! Lian Fu was furious. It was as if he, the chief steward, was fighting over food with a dog.
"Hmph!" Lian Fu haughtily snorted and walked into Bu Fang's store while twisting his waist. He did not come today to cause trouble, nor was he here to arrest anyone. He was here purely to buy groceries.
His Majesty, the emperor, had given him an imperial edict yesterday, instructing him to pack up all of the dishes in the store and bring them back for the emperor to have a taste. If the taste was acceptable, Bu Fang would be recruited into the imperial palace.
"He's just a little chef in an alleyway. How could he compare to the chefs of the imperial kitchen?" Lian Fu did not care about today's mission.
"Oh my! Your highness, why are you here? Oh my, isn't this our General Ouyang's little princess? " As soon as he entered the store, Lian Fu's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Ji Chengxue, who was drinking wine and eating meat, as well as the pretty Ouyang Xiaoyi not far away.
"Hmm? Eunuch Lian, why … are you here today? " Ji Chengxue was slightly surprised. Lian Fu was his father's personal eunuch. It was truly strange for him to actually come to the store today.
"Your highness might not know this, but His Majesty ordered me to pack up all of the dishes in the store and bring them back to the imperial palace. Am I not here now? It's hard to disobey the emperor's orders. "
"Hmm … Eh? Pack up? "Ji Chengxue nodded as he looked at Lian Fu with a strange expression.
