The store suddenly became quiet. The pressure from the emperor's contemplation caused Xiao Meng and Ji Chengxue to not even dare to breathe loudly.
Emperor Changfeng was, after all, Emperor Changfeng. He had conquered sects from other regions for dozens of years and destroyed many once glorious sects from other regions. The pressure and killing intent from his body were incomparably condensed.
However, Xiao Meng also slightly knitted his brows and softly reminded the emperor, "Your Majesty … Don't forget the background of this store. The big black dog at the entrance is a supreme spirit beast. It will be a little difficult to destroy this store."
The corners of the Emperor's wrinkled face twitched. He glanced at Xiao Meng and calmly said, "Great General Xiao, I remember in your report that you mentioned that as long as we don't cause trouble in this store, the Supreme-Being Spirit Beast won't make a move, right?"
Xiao Meng was slightly startled. He did not understand why the emperor would ask this question. However, he still solemnly nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Then it's simple. The rule of this store is that as long as no one causes trouble in the store, the supreme spirit beast will not make a move. There are many ways to destroy this store, but there aren't many ways to prevent the supreme spirit beast from making a move … However, it's not like there aren't any." The emperor's index finger lightly tapped on the table, emitting a deep tapping sound.
Xiao Meng's pupils slightly constricted. There were other ways? Could it be that His Majesty could find an expert in the empire who could suppress the supreme spirit beast?
"General Xiao, you've been on expeditions all year round, so you naturally don't understand business struggles. Even if this store is overseen by a supreme spirit beast, it is still a store after all. Furthermore, it has its own rules. As long as I give the order to ban the store, how can it continue to operate?" The emperor chuckled and reminded Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng came to a sudden realization and his expression became interesting. That's right, according to the pride of a supreme spirit beast, if no one caused trouble in the store, it would definitely not make a move. Commercial blacklisting was the simplest and most effective way to deal with it.
"Haha, General Xiao, you don't have to worry too much. I was just making a casual remark. If Owner Bu's dishes could satisfy me, why would I ban him?" The emperor chuckled and stroked his long beard.
"Xiaoyi, serve the dish," just as everyone was discussing outside, Bu Fang finished another dish and called out to Xiaoyi.
"Smelly Boss … If your dishes can't satisfy Grandpa Emperor, he's going to ban your restaurant," Ouyang Xiaoyi said to Bu Fang in a low voice as she carried the dishes to him.
Bu Fang expressionlessly nodded and nonchalantly replied, "Oh."
"Eh? Smelly boss, aren't you worried? " Xiaoyi asked with a pout. She had come over to warn the smelly boss out of goodwill, but he actually had such an indifferent attitude. It was too infuriating!
Bu Fang patted Xiaoyi's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no one's stomach can't be satisfied by this God of Cooking's dishes."
Ouyang Xiaoyi was stunned. She looked at Bu Fang who was full of confidence, and her eyes were about to emit little stars. The confident smelly boss was really handsome!
"Go ahead. Don't let the customers wait too long," Bu Fang said.
Ouyang Xiaoyi nodded and eagerly carried the Lees Fish toward Ji Chengxue's seat.
"Your Highness, here's your Lees Fish. Please enjoy," Ouyang Xiaoyi charmingly said as she placed the Lees Fish on Ji Chengxue's seat.
Ji Chengxue nodded and subconsciously glanced at the emperor. He discovered that the latter seemed to be attracted by the rich aroma of the Lees Fish, which was a mixture of wine and fish.
The emperor's gaze landed on the Lees Fish. His wrinkled face slightly trembled as if he was swallowing his saliva.
"Father … Would you like to try it?" Ji Chengxue respectfully asked.
When the emperor heard Ji Chengxue's words, he averted his gaze and indifferently said, "No need, you can eat it yourself. I've also ordered a dish … By the way, what's the name of this dish?"
"Lees Fish," Ji Chengxue respectfully explained.
The emperor indifferently nodded and slightly closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to his surroundings.
Ji Chengxue lightly sighed. His gaze toward the emperor was a little gloomy. He thought, "Why does father dislike me so much … I'm also your son and I'm at the forefront of killing enemies. Why can't you show me even a little bit of concern?"
Xiao Meng also felt a little helpless. He walked back to Ji Chengxue's table and poured a cup of wine. He clinked glasses with Ji Chengxue and the two of them drank it together.
As the rich aroma of the dishes continuously wafted out from the kitchen, the emperor's tightly shut eyes trembled a little and he finally opened them.
"Father, I still have to participate in the expedition ceremony tomorrow. I'll take my leave first." Ji Chengxue had already finished his meal. He stood up and respectfully bowed to the emperor as he spoke in a calm tone.
The emperor nodded and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Ji Chengxue took a deep look at the emperor's figure. His eyes narrowed and he turned around to leave. His white robe fluttered like rolling waves.
"Xiaoyi, serve the dish," Bu Fang's voice once again came from the kitchen.
Ouyang Xiaoyi's eyes lit up. She knew that it was her emperor grandfather's dish. She had waited for a long time to see the smelly boss's dish conquer her emperor grandfather.
The improved Egg-Fried Rice was overflowing with a rich aroma. The light-golden sticky egg liquid wrapped around the pearl-like rice grains seemed to be emitting a faint brilliance that mesmerized the eyes.
"Emperor grandfather, here's your improved Egg-Fried Rice." Ouyang Xiaoyi placed the Egg-Fried Rice in front of the emperor and looked at him with her big eyes filled with anticipation.
"Good, good. Little girl, why did you come to this store to work as a waitress? Did your grandfather agree to it as well?" The emperor kindly smiled and gently said as he rubbed Ouyang Xiaoyi's head.
"Hmph, if my grandfather dares to not let me come, I'll pull his beard!" Ouyang Xiaoyi's eyes narrowed into a crescent shape as she giggled.
The emperor laughed heartily. His gaze fell on the Egg-Fried Rice in front of him. His gaze changed as he looked at it.
As an emperor, he had very strict requirements for food. The imperial kitchen was set up in the imperial palace, and the chefs inside were all carefully selected from tens of thousands of chefs in the Light Wind Empire. They were all elites in the culinary world.
He had eaten countless dishes and his ability to appraise delicacies was also extraordinary.
The Egg-Fried Rice in front of him, not to mention the aroma, was completely captivated by its appearance. Unlike those traditional Egg-Fried Rice, the egg liquid of Bu Fang's Egg-Fried Rice was only seventy to eighty percent cooked. It was like the liquid was poured over the rice.
Using the blue and white porcelain spoon to lightly scoop up a spoonful, the egg liquid was even pulled into a long thread. Steam rose from the gap that was scooped up, and the aroma assailed the nostrils. The aroma enveloped the entire person, as if he had fallen into an ocean of fragrance.
When the Egg-Fried Rice was sent into his mouth, the eighty to eighty percent cooked egg liquid instantly solidified and was filled with elasticity. It bounced on the tongue and the walls of the oral cavity, bringing about a peculiar taste.
Gulp!
After finishing the mouthful of Egg-Fried Rice, the emperor could not help but scoop up another spoonful … It was a completely subconscious action.
"Smells so good! Delicious! " The emperor's eyes completely lit up. It had been a long time since he had eaten such a delicacy. It was a delicacy that made all the pores on his body open up.
While the emperor was enjoying the Egg-Fried Rice, Ouyang Xiaoyi once again brought over another dish. It was a large celadon bowl filled with a rich fragrance of Fish Head Tofu Soup.
The milky white soup swayed in the bowl, and the faintly discernible jade-like tofu shone brightly. The fish was tender, and emitted the aroma of fish meat.
"Emperor Grandpa, eating Egg-Fried Rice and drinking Fish Head Tofu Soup is the most comfortable thing. Come, try Xiaoyi's favorite Fish Head Tofu Soup."
When Ouyang Xiaoyi saw the emperor's intoxicated expression, her heart bloomed like a flower. She was extremely happy. After placing the Fish Head Tofu Soup in front of the emperor, she even personally scooped a small bowl of fish soup for him.
The milky white fish soup emitted a rich fragrance, and when paired with the fragrance of the Egg-Fried Rice, the emperor immediately felt hungry.
"This fish soup … is good!" After tasting a mouthful of the fish soup, the freshness of the fish and the fragrance of the tofu blossomed on the tip of his tongue at the same time. They pervaded and covered his taste buds, causing him to involuntarily cry out in praise.
Xiao Meng, who was in the distance, let out a long sigh … "As long as Your Majesty is happy, then it's fine. As long as Your Majesty is happy, then you won't think about sealing Owner Bu's store. That way, you won't have to face a supreme spirit beast, and everyone will be happy."
