"If you work for me, your monthly salary will be … ten thousand crystals!"
The emperor looked at Bu Fang with a burning gaze. He extended a finger and shook it as he spoke with a smile.
Bu Fang looked at the emperor expressionlessly. He paid no attention to the emperor's shaking finger. His eyes were slightly blank as he thought, "Hmm? How much did the emperor say I would be paid? Ten thousand crystals? "
"Host, as the God of Cooking who wishes to stand at the top of the food chain in the fantasy world, your pure goal should not be tainted by external factors. You must be firm in your heart. Neither wealth nor poverty can be swayed! Use your own hands to create a beautiful future. "
The system solemnly and seriously poured a bowl of chicken soup for Bu Fang, whose heart was already wavering. The corners of his mouth twitched and the beautiful fantasy in his heart was shattered.
Bu Fang looked at the emperor coldly without looking sideways. He calmly said, "Why should I work for you?"
The confident smile on the emperor's face immediately froze. He frowned and said, "Because I am the emperor. I am the emperor. Do you think I am not qualified to hire you as my imperial chef?"
"How many chefs in the world fight to enter the imperial kitchen and obtain the opportunity to cook for me …"
"Is the emperor that awesome? Whoever wants to go can go. " Bu Fang calmly said with a calm gaze. He was neither arrogant nor overbearing. It was as if he was stating an ordinary matter.
The emperor was immediately stunned. Xiao Meng, who had been watching the two from afar, was also slightly startled.
The emperor came back to his senses. The corners of his mouth twitched. In the whole world, perhaps only Bu Fang dared to speak to him like this … However, he really could not do anything to Bu Fang within the store.
"Don't waste your energy. I will not be recruited by anyone. If you want to eat, come to the store. As for the so-called imperial kitchen, I have no interest in it at all," Bu Fang calmly said. He stood up and spoke calmly as if he was drinking water.
The emperor gave Bu Fang a deep look and nodded. He did not ask any more questions. Some things only needed to be asked to know the answer.
"What an ambitious chef." The Emperor sighed in his heart and did not say anything else. He narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the comfortable beauty brought about by the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine.
After eating for a while, the emperor finally finished his meal. He wiped his beard, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to come alive.
"Very good, very delicious. It's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious dish. I should reward it!" The Emperor stroked his beard and said, "As for what to reward … it's a little hard to decide."
Bu Fang was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect the Emperor to do something like this.
The emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back. After sweeping his gaze across the clean and tidy store, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Owner Bu, I have already thought of a reward for you. Ordinary crystals are too common, and you won't be able to use some expensive elixirs. I see that your store doesn't have a signboard, so why don't I give it a name?" The Emperor looked at Bu Fang benevolently.
From his point of view, Bu Fang would definitely not reject this reward. With the Emperor personally writing a name, the store's reputation would be completely opened and it would be completely popular in the Light Wind Empire. Therefore, this reward was more practical than crystals for a restaurant.
"Host, the interior decorations of the store are all done by the system. The system has already started preparing the signboard, so the host is not allowed to accept other people's signboard nominations." The system solemnly and seriously informed Bu Fang of a cruel reality.
Bu Fang knew that with the system's arrogant nature, there was no way it would allow him to receive such a generous reward.
"Thank you for your kindness. If you like the store's dishes, you can come visit often. As for the nomination, there's no need for it. The store's renovation is very good, so there's no need to change it," Bu Fang expressionlessly said. He ignored his conscience and once again rejected the Emperor's kind intentions.
The Emperor really felt very embarrassed. His attempt to recruit Bu Fang was mercilessly rejected, and his offer to help the store propose a signboard was directly rejected...
This black-hearted store was indeed extremely arrogant, but at least they had the capital to be arrogant.
"Good, very good! In that case, I thank Owner Bu for your hospitality. " The Emperor simply nodded his head. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. After putting down some crystals, he left the store under the escort of Xiao Meng.
Due to the Emperor, many of the regular customers of the store were not able to enter.
Xushi originally planned to have a serving of Spicy Boiled Fish today, but he didn't expect to find that the alleyway was blocked so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. This kind of extravagance gave him a fright. Only after understanding the situation did he understand the whole story.
"Oh my god, even His Majesty personally visited Owner Bu's store! I must inform the crown prince of this as soon as possible! "Xushi was startled. He did not care about eating and immediately turned around to leave.
At the same time, the news of the Emperor's arrival at the alleyway restaurant was also spread throughout the entire imperial city.
The Emperor was very famous, and the so-called celebrity effect was nothing more than that. This time, Fang Fang's Little Store was really on fire. Borrowing the Emperor's name, the store became completely famous within the imperial city. Almost all of the upper echelons of society learned of this news.
"What did you say? Father really personally went to the store? "
In the majestic palace on the left side of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, Xushi truthfully reported the news to the crown prince. The crown prince's pupils slightly constricted and he abruptly stood up.
"Yes, your highness. Chief Eunuch Lian and the others completely sealed off the entrance of the alleyway …" Xushi said.
The crown prince had one hand behind his back as he paced around for a few steps. Then he raised his head and asked, "Xushi, is there any news about the Blood Phoenix Chicken that I asked you to look for?"
"Your highness … There is news. It will arrive at the imperial city in a few days," Xushi bowed and said.
The crown prince, Ji Chengan, nodded with an extremely serious expression. "I wonder if Imperial Father will be able to obtain any information regarding the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup after entering the store this time. Once Imperial Father finds out about this, then I must immediately present the Blood Phoenix Chicken. If Imperial Father doesn't know about this … then I will bring my own ingredients and ask Owner Bu to cook a portion of Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup for me as a sign of filial piety."
The crown prince rubbed his fingers and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.
...
King Yu's manor, the center of the garden.
King Yu, Ji Chengyu, was wearing casual clothes with his hair draped over his shoulders. He was holding onto a handful of crystal fragments as he strolled around the pond in the center of the garden. From time to time, he would grind some crystal fragments and throw them into the pond.
Once the crystal fragments entered the pond, ripples appeared on the surface of the pond. Fishes of different colors were fighting over the rare crystal fragments.
A red fish that didn't manage to snatch the crystal fragment immediately angrily swayed its body in the pond. Then, the fish instantly opened its mouth so wide that it almost turned into a copper gong with sharp teeth. It swallowed the fish that managed to snatch the crystal fragment.
A faint smell of blood began to spread within the pond...
King Yu's face was filled with a smile. However, his gaze was somewhat cold as he stared at the fish that was eating the fish.
"Even fishes know how to compete. As members of the imperial family, how can they be merciful? Every time they snatch, it will be accompanied by blood … "
As King Yu softly muttered, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
Several figures appeared behind him. These figures were all wrapped in black robes with faint true energy lingering around their bodies.
"You guys are finally here." The corner of King Yu's mouth curled up. He scattered all of the crystal fragments in his hand into the pond and slowly turned around.
The figures wrapped in black robes raised their hands and took off the hood of the black robe, revealing a face that was as thin as a match. His eye sockets were deeply sunken and there seemed to be a spirit fire pulsating within his eyes.
"Soul Sect's Great Elder, Hun Qianyun, greets King Yu."
