Early morning.
The sky began to drizzle, and the gloomy weather gradually brought a chill to the air.
Bu Fang opened his eyes and got up from his bed. After washing up, he walked out of his room and went to the kitchen.
Although the Chef's Challenge with Wen Renchou was about to begin, Bu Fang didn't seem worried at all.
Bu Fang rubbed his sleepy head and yawned. Green smoke curled up from his hands as he prepared to practice his knife skills and dishes.
He cooked the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Dragon Blood Rice for the two foodies in the restaurant before returning to the kitchen. After practicing his knife skills for a while, Bu Fang stopped and started to think about the dish for the Chef's Challenge.
"Fish dish … What dish should I use to challenge Wen Renchou?" Bu Fang thought.
Since it was a Chef's Challenge, Wen Renchou definitely wouldn't use a dish that he wasn't familiar with to compete with Bu Fang. After all, the Chef's Challenge concerned a chef's dignity and future.
The loser would be deprived of his kitchen knife and the right to cook. It was extremely cruel.
"Lees Fish? Spicy Boiled Fish? Fish Head Tofu Soup? Grilled Fish? " Bu Fang rubbed his chin and thought. Of course, there were many other fish dishes. Up until now, Bu Fang had cooked many fish dishes and there were many that he could use.
After thinking for a long time, Bu Fang frowned slightly. He suddenly felt that he could try a new dish this time.
A famous dish from his previous life appeared in his mind. He squinted his eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth.
That was the dish he wanted to make.
Because it was a Chef's Challenge, the system could actually provide ingredients for Bu Fang for free. This surprised Bu Fang. Was this stingy system enlightened?!
When a plump Divine Realm fish-type spirit beast landed in front of Bu Fang and flapped its tail, Bu Fang was amazed.
This was because this fish was really plump. The meat was full of spirit energy.
Pinching the fish's body, it was filled with elasticity. The fish's scales were like sharp blades, giving off a sharp aura.
After caressing it for a while, Bu Fang began to process the fish. The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife appeared in his hand. After twirling the knife in his hand, he fiercely slashed down, drawing a resplendent arc in the air. The knife flashed with dazzling light.
…
It was drizzling.
It was a summer rain, but it was rare to see such light rain.
However, even though it was raining, the number of people lining up in front of the restaurant didn't decrease at all. Every single one of them stood at the entrance of the restaurant excitedly, waiting for the bronze gate to open as usual.
However, unlike in the past, the diners' faces were filled with excitement and worry.
That was because they had received news that Owner Bu was going to have a Chef's Challenge with a very powerful chef.
They didn't know what a Chef's Challenge was, but they felt that it was awesome.
However, there were people who understood the stakes of this Chef's Challenge, and they were worried about Bu Fang.
Until now, Bu Fang had never lost, even when facing the top alchemists of the Pill Palace. However, at that time, Bu Fang's opponents were all alchemists.
But this time, his opponent was a real chef …
Moreover, it sounded like a very powerful chef, and he even knew something like a Chef's Challenge.
Rain fell from the sky, drenching the clothes of many people.
Suddenly, a commotion came from the street in the distance.
A silhouette slowly approached from afar. Everyone's eyes narrowed, because in their line of sight, that silhouette was carrying a huge fat fish on his back.
The body of the fish was filled with boundless spiritual energy, constantly absorbing the rainwater in the surrounding sky.
That fish was still alive, and it opened and closed its mouth.
Under the reflection of the rainwater, its scales sparkled like stars in the night sky.
"He's here!"
"That's the chef who is going to have a Chef's Challenge with Owner Bu!"
"What a fat fish! What kind of fish is that?! "
…
Many people exclaimed in surprise. Their eyes widened as they looked at the fish, and they sucked in a breath of cold air.
Hades and Nangong Wuque also widened their eyes as they looked at the fat fish, and they exclaimed in admiration.
"That is a Divine Realm spirit beast that has broken through three of the Supreme-Being's shackles. It's called the Luminous Cod. I heard that it can spit out a domain, and it can freeze the movements of people within it!" Nangong Wuque exclaimed in admiration.
Hades was surprised, and he looked at Nangong Wuque suspiciously. "Are the youngsters nowadays so knowledgeable?"
"However, the flesh of this fish is very soft, and it requires a lot of control over the fire. If you don't control the fire well, the flesh will become loose …" Nangong Wuque continued.
Hades was even more surprised. "How do you know that? Aren't you an alchemist?"
Nangong Wuque snorted and said, "Even though I'm an alchemist, I have the heart of a foodie. Ever since I ate Old Bu's dish, I started researching ingredients … Aren't we going to compete with fish this time? I flipped through all the information I had. "
Just as the two of them were conversing …
The tightly shut bronze gate of the Cloud Mist Restaurant slowly opened.
A creaking sound rang out.
Everyone's gazes shifted over and landed on the bronze gate that was opening.
A figure walked out from it.
Bu Fang stretched his body, and he looked at everyone with a calm gaze.
"Good morning, everyone," Bu Fang said calmly.
"Owner Bu! We support you! You will definitely win the Chef's Challenge! "
"Owner Bu, you must win! I haven't had enough of your dishes!"
"Owner Bu, why don't you start today's business first? Otherwise, if we lose, we won't be able to taste your dishes … "
…
Bu Fang's face darkened. What were these people talking about? What did they mean by starting today's business first? Did they not have any confidence in him?
The crowd opened up a path, and Wen Renchou, who was carrying the Luminous Cod on his back, slowly walked over.
His feet stepped on the wet ground, causing the water to splash everywhere.
He raised his head and looked at Bu Fang calmly.
"Are you ready? Our Chef's Challenge … is about to begin. "
These calm words were filled with a sharp aura and a terrifying battle intent.
Wen Renchou was very excited. The muscles on his body were slightly trembling …
He felt that he was finally going to wipe away his previous humiliation.
Bu Fang also walked out of the restaurant, standing on the empty ground in front of the restaurant.
The owners of the elixir stores consciously moved their elixir stores away, leaving enough space for the two of them to have a Chef's Challenge.
The air suddenly became stagnant, and the falling rainwater seemed to become bone-chilling.
Hades's handsome face revealed a hint of seriousness. He waved his hand, and instantly, a layer of light shrouded the area, isolating the rainwater.
However, the raindrops, which were getting heavier and heavier, fell on the light curtain and splashed around, making pitter-patter sounds.
Everyone held their breaths, looking carefully at the two people in the arena.
Buzz …
A metal table appeared. Wen Renchou threw the Luminous Cod on the metal table with a back throw. The loud bang made everyone's heart skip a beat.
"The theme of this Chef's Challenge is fish. I wonder if Owner Bu is ready? I hope Owner Bu won't let me down … "
The corner of Wen Renchou's mouth curled up.
An icy blue light appeared in his hand, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. An ice blade appeared in his hand.
The ice blade spun and swept across. Swoosh.
The flying fish scales shot out like flying daggers.
That smooth movement made everyone exclaim in surprise. This chef's standard was really not weaker than Owner Bu's!
The crowd was suddenly filled with anticipation … Perhaps this would be a very exciting Chef's Challenge.
The kitchen knife cut horizontally, and the fish head was cut off. The white and tender fish meat was instantly revealed.
Wen Renchou raised his head and looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces. The corner of his mouth instantly curled up, revealing a trace of satisfaction.
And in the midst of everyone's exclamations, the kitchen knife shook, and with a ripping sound, it pierced into the belly of the fish. In the next moment, it was pulled out, along with the fish bones.
With a turn of the kitchen knife, it drew an arc, and the fish bones flew out like scattered flowers. It was incomparably dazzling.
Bu Fang looked at Wen Renchou's knife skills and was slightly surprised. This knife skill was not bad …
Was this the strength of Wen Renchou? The strength of a second-grade chef from the Valley of Gluttony?
A black pan with a flat bottom appeared, floating in the sky. It was obvious that this was not an ordinary pan.
With a snap of his fingers, a ball of red flames darted out, drilling into the bottom of the pan. In a short while, the pan emitted green smoke.
A few spiritual ingredients were thrown up by Wen Renchou. The icy blue knife in his hand flashed, and these spiritual ingredients were instantly cut into pieces.
They were scattered into the pan.
A wave of medicinal fragrance spread out from the pan, and everyone opened their nostrils and began to take a deep breath.
Hades looked on curiously. This was the first time he saw a battle between chefs … This kind of unique competition made him very excited and expectant.
Wen Renchou took advantage of the time when the spiritual ingredients in the pan emitted the fragrance, and began to cut the fish.
He did not choose the whole fish, but chose the fattest part of the fish. That circle of fish meat was tender, and it was the most essential part of the fish.
Carefully using the ice knife to support himself, Wen Renchou's fingers shook, and he actually used a unique technique to massage the fish meat rapidly.
His technique was dazzling. After the massage, he tossed the fish into the air.
His hand flashed, and instantly, a wine jar appeared. With a flick of his finger, the wine jar exploded, and crystal clear wine flew out, diffusing into the air.
Under Wen Renchou's control, it instantly permeated the whole fish.
With a twist of his finger, the ice knife flew up, and he used the back of the knife to hit the body of the fish. This caused the wine to permeate into the fish meat, and the fish meat that was floating in the air became even more crystal clear.
True energy surged, and after the wine had permeated into the fish meat, Wen Renchou activated his own true energy, and sucked out the wine from the fish meat.
Swish.
The fish meat fell into a large pile of starch that was prepared, and the starch was evenly distributed on the fish body.
After finishing all this, Wen Renchou carefully raised his hand, and dragged the fish meat, and placed it into the pan that was already filled with fragrance.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
Once it entered the pan, a sizzle sound could be heard, and the fragrance instantly soared.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Looking at Wen Renchou's series of actions, they really did not have any confidence in Bu Fang.
That gorgeous operation, that incomparably dazzling knife skill, all of it dazzled their eyes.
This time, Old Bu … is really in danger! "Nangong Wuque's eyes widened, and he said.
Hades, on the other hand, curled his lips, and said, "If Old Bu used Chili Strips, he would definitely kill this thing …"
However, unlike the crowd's worries, Bu Fang's state of mind was very calm.
With a flash of light in his hand, a table was placed in front of him, and a plump fish appeared, landing on the table.
Bu Fang gently exhaled, and he clasped his hands together, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"West Lake Sweet and Sour Fish … Come out!"
