"Do you know who I am going to pack it for?" Lian Fu did not expect Bu Fang to reject his request once again. This made him a little angry.
"Do you know that His Majesty wants to eat your dishes? This is a supreme honor! "
Bu Fang furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the arrogant Lian Fu with displeasure. He had already made it so clear that the store did not provide takeout service. Why did this eunuch not understand?
"Tell me, how much do I need for takeout? Name your price. " When Lian Fu saw Bu Fang's unwavering attitude, he became exasperated. He flicked his thumb and middle finger and snorted.
"Do you still not understand what I said?" Bu Fang expressionlessly glanced at him and ignored the eunuch. He turned around and returned to the kitchen to bring out the last dish.
The golden Oyster Pancake, which was wrapped in a wide bamboo leaf, had a hidden aroma.
"This is the last dish, the Oyster Pancake. This can be taken out. Bring it back for the emperor to eat," Bu Fang calmly said after passing the Oyster Pancake to Lian Fu.
Lian Fu was stunned. He subconsciously took it and glanced at the Oyster Pancake wrapped in the bamboo leaf. Even though it was fragrant … compared to the gorgeous fish head tofu soup, this Oyster Pancake was really too shabby.
He had eaten so many delicacies, but in the end, he only brought back this shabby Oyster Pancake … Would he be scolded to death by His Majesty?
"Little chef … I really can't take it out? I can't even pay a hundred crystals? "Lian Fu bit his lips and resentfully looked at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang's entire body trembled. His entire body was covered in goosebumps from Lian Fu's gaze. He tightened his neck and turned around to return to the kitchen, completely ignoring Chief Eunuch Lian Fu.
Lian Fu looked at the departing Bu Fang and sighed. His face was filled with worry as he stared at the Oyster Pancake in his hand. In the end, he could only helplessly leave.
After watching Eunuch Lian Fu leave, Ouyang Xiaoyi excitedly went in front of Bu Fang.
"Smelly boss, give me an Oyster Pancake!" Ouyang Xiaoyi charmingly shouted.
"Hmm? You want to eat it now? " Bu Fang was slightly stunned and asked doubtfully. Didn't Xiaoyi say that she would bring it to her parents when she returned?
Ouyang Xiaoyi swallowed her saliva and said with a grin, "I can't help it anymore. Let's taste it for them first."
Well, although Bu Fang could tell at a glance that this girl was greedy, he didn't say anything and just asked her to wait.
After a short while, two servings of Oyster Pancakes were ready.
After handing a portion to the little girl and taking one for himself, the two of them leisurely pulled over chairs and sat at the entrance of the store as they began to eat the Oyster Pancakes.
Pushing aside the bamboo leaves, Ouyang Xiaoyi somewhat impatiently took a bite of the Oyster Pancake. With a crisp crunching sound, the crispy skin instantly entered her mouth. The juice of the radish flowed out and mixed into her mouth. The texture was extremely delicious.
A rich fragrance wafted out from the Oyster Pancake and enveloped the surroundings of the little girl. She shook her head with an intoxicated expression and continued to bury herself in the Oyster Pancake.
One adult and one child were curled up on the chair, eating the Oyster Pancake. The fragrance slowly drifted and lingered in the alley.
… …
"Your Majesty, this is the delicacy this old servant brought back from the black-hearted store, the Oyster Pancake." Lian Fu was carrying a silver plate that was engraved with many exquisite patterns.
Two golden hemispherical Oyster Pancakes were placed on the silver plate. They were still emitting a little steam and a faint fragrance lingered above them.
Emperor Ji Changfeng lightly stroked his long beard as he puzzledly looked at Lian Fu and asked, "Xiao Fu, didn't I tell you to take away all of the dishes? Why did you only bring back such a small thing for me? "
If the Oyster Pancake was not eaten, its appearance would not be very good. It looked a little like the lumps that commoners ate.
When Lian Fu heard the emperor's question, his heart immediately trembled. With a long face, he complained, "Your Majesty, you might not know, but the owner of the black-hearted store said that the other dishes are not allowed to be taken away. The only dish that can be taken away is the Oyster Pancake."
"Oh? Then have you tasted the other dishes? "Ji Changfeng gave Lian Fu a sidelong glance and lightly asked.
"Yes, the taste was very good. Especially the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs … Eh, Your Majesty, this old servant was wrong!" Lian Fu originally wanted to describe the delicacies at Bu Fang's store. However, when he felt the faint smile on the emperor's face, his heart immediately trembled. He took a step back and bowed to admit his mistake.
"It seems that the culinary skills of the owner of the store are pretty good. Otherwise, you would not praise him so highly. Then, today, I will try this … Oyster Pancake," Ji Changfeng said.
Lian Fu was immediately overjoyed. It was good that His Majesty did not blame him. He hurriedly straightened his body and passed the silver plate to Ji Changfeng. He also took out a small silver dagger.
Lian Fu rolled up his wide sleeves and held the small silver dagger. He gently cut an Oyster Pancake into two halves.
After the Oyster Pancake, which originally had very little fragrance, was cut open, a rich fragrance instantly burst forth. It was as if a fragrant bomb had been stepped on.
White juice flowed out from the cut and dripped onto half of the silver plate.
When Ji Changfeng smelled the aroma of the Oyster Pancake, his eyes immediately lit up. He could not help but exclaim, "Fragrant but not pungent. Mellow but lingering. Good!"
Lian Fu was also extremely astonished. He did not think that the unassuming Oyster Pancake would actually be so fragrant. With such a rich fragrance, the taste should not be bad either.
Ji Changfeng stretched out his hand and picked up half of the Oyster Pancake. As he looked at the plump oyster, he could not help but take a bite. The freshness of the oyster unreservedly blossomed in his mouth and instantly rushed into his nostrils, causing all the pores on his body to open up.
The crispy and perfectly fried skin coupled with the tenderness of the shredded radish gave Ji Changfeng an unprecedented taste. He could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"Delicious! What a good Oyster Pancake! "
Lian Fu swallowed his saliva. His heart was also filled with joy. He thought, "As long as Your Majesty is happy. I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will find this old servant to settle the score if you are unhappy..."
After half of the Oyster Pancake entered his stomach, Ji Changfeng could not help but lick his lips. He wiped off the grease on his beard and picked up the remaining half of the Oyster Pancake. In a short while, he finished it.
After he finished eating, Ji Changfeng finally let out a sigh of relief with a satisfied expression on his face.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a good meal. This black-hearted store is indeed capable. I'm suddenly curious about the other delicacies."
"Your majesty, that store does not allow take-out … If we want to eat, we will have to go there personally." Lian Fu was a little angry.
"So what if I go there personally. This kind of delicacy is worth my time. Besides, doesn't that store have wine that's even better than my Bejewelled Nectar Wine? I've always yearned for good wine. Xiao Fu, make some preparations. I'll personally make a trip there tomorrow. "
"Oh my! Your majesty?! How could that store dare to trouble you? This old servant will go there again tomorrow and I'll definitely bring back all of the dishes. "Lian Fu was a little anxious. Given his majesty's health, how could he make such a big fuss?
Ji Changfeng indifferently glanced at Lian Fu and said, "Xiao Fu, the reason why I went to the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant back then was for a Roasted Flower Duck. Why can't I enter the store to taste the delicacies now? Remember, we'll head there incognito tomorrow. "
Lian Fu felt helpless in his heart. He had already made up his mind to secretly arrange for the imperial physicians and so on. If anything happened, they would at least be able to take care of him.
At that moment, in Fang Fang's Little Store, Ouyang Xiaoyi, who had just finished eating two Oyster Pancakes, was pitifully looking at Bu Fang.
"Smelly boss, just give Xiaoyi another portion. Xiaoyi hasn't had enough."
Her big eyes blinked and she was so lovely that it could melt a person's heart.
Bu Fang gave her a glance and simply said, "No, I ate too much Oyster Pancake … It's too hot."
