"Uh … Looking for trouble and still saying it in such a dignified manner. This is indeed in line with Owner Bu's personality."
Xiao Xiaolong and the others were speechless. They clearly did not understand why Bu Fang would come to the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant to look for trouble.
"Owner Bu … Do you have a grudge against the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant?" Xiao Yanyu's pleasant voice rang out as she softly asked. It was obvious that not only Xiao Xiaolong, even someone as intelligent as herself was puzzled.
Bu Fang glanced at Xiao Yanyu and met the latter's eyes that were as clear as a spring. "Do I need a reason to look for trouble? If I want to look for trouble, I'll look for it. "
"Alright … This answer was impeccable and very much like Owner Bu's."
The crowd stopped talking and quietly waited for the dishes to be served. The general area was extremely noisy and the air was filled with all kinds of smells. There was the smell of low-quality wine and the strange fragrance of food and dishes. All of these smells were mixed together and it was as if a bottle of five flavors had been knocked over.
There was an obvious look of disdain in Xiao Xiaolong's eyes. Even though the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant was famous throughout the imperial city, the hygiene in the general area was indeed not good. The main reason was that once there were too many people, it would be difficult to maintain the hygiene.
"The dishes are served!" A call rang out. A waiter with a white towel draped over his shoulder slowly walked over while carrying a dish.
"Customer, your dish, Red Braised Lion's Head!" A smile hung on the waiter's face as he placed a plate of steaming Red Braised Lion's Head on Bu Fang's table.
The Red Braised Lion's Head that was drizzled with red sauce had a gorgeous luster and was emitting a meaty fragrance. Faint steam rose from the dish and rolled around in front of the crowd before dispersing.
"This Red Braised Lion's Head looks pretty good!" Xiao Xiaolong said with a smile as he slightly nodded his head after glancing at the dish.
He picked up his chopsticks and lightly tapped the table before picking up a Lion's Head that was wrapped in red sauce.
Expressionless, Bu Fang picked up his chopsticks and picked up a lion's head into his bowl. He first used his chopsticks to poke the lion's head to feel its hardness, then brought his nose close to it and sniffed it.
Ouyang Xiaoyi and Xiao Yanyu also took a bite of the Red Braised Lion's Head. After all, it was one of the ten signature dishes of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant. The taste was indeed pretty good. Although it was not as delicious as the dishes cooked in Bu Fang's restaurant, it was still pretty good when compared to ordinary dishes.
Ouyang Xiaoyi finished her food in a few bites. Her face was flushed with satisfaction.
Xiao Xiaolong smacked his lips and drank a mouthful of water. Then, he picked up another meatball and ate it. There were only five meatballs in a plate of Red Braised Meatballs, and he ate two by himself.
"Owner Bu, you should eat as well. The taste of this Lion's Head is pretty good. The chefs of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant are quite skilled," Xiao Xiaolong said to Bu Fang while chewing on the Lion's Head.
Bu Fang did not reply. He took a small bite and the sauce tasted slightly astringent. After chewing a few times, Bu Fang swallowed it and put down his chopsticks. He expressionlessly stopped tasting the dish.
"Hmm?" Bu Fang's actions caused Xiao Yanyu and the others to look at him with a strange expression.
"The sauce of this Red Braised Meatball is too salty and astringent. It's obvious that too much salt was added. Moreover, the sugar in the sauce has not melted yet, so it tastes slightly astringent. As for the Lion's Head, the so-called Lion's Head is a meatball that is precisely kneaded together with seventy percent lean meat and thirty percent fat meat. It's also known as the Four Happiness Meatball. Furthermore, the lean meat has to be chopped by yourself and the fat meat can't be too greasy. The lean meat in this dish was obviously not chopped finely and there are still shreds of meat mixed together. The fat meat is also too greasy and will affect the taste.
I give you a bad review, "Bu Fang lightly said as he lightly exhaled a breath of air. Under the dumbfounded gazes of Xiao Xiaolong and the others, Bu Fang said a lot of words and criticized the Red Braised Meatball to the point that it was not good at all.
Clack.
Xiao Xiaolong smacked his lips and dropped his chopsticks on the table. After hearing Bu Fang's review, he looked at the Lion's Head again and felt that it was not as delicious as before. It turned out that there were so many flaws in this meatball.
Originally, he still had some appetite. However, after hearing Bu Fang's review, he lost all interest in eating and placed the Lion's Head back into the bowl.
Owner Bu … was really here to cause trouble. Even the signature dish of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's public area was criticized so miserably. However, with Owner Bu's culinary skills, his review should be very pertinent.
The second dish was served. It was a plate of steamed fish. The fresh fragrance of the fish was constantly emitting from the fish's body and the warm steam filled the air.
The appearance of the steamed fish was well-preserved. There were a few scratches on the fish's body. As the fish meat was steamed, the scratches were pushed open, revealing the tender fish meat inside. A faint fish broth flowed on the plate and enveloped the steamed fish.
This time, Xiao Xiaolong and the others did not pick up their chopsticks. They were all looking at Bu Fang and waiting for him to start his review.
Bu Fang nodded his head and picked up his chopsticks. He first used the chopsticks to touch the fish meat at the neck area of the fish. A slight springiness came from the chopsticks and caused Bu Fang to nod his head. It seemed like the control of the heat of the steamed fish was quite good.
He used the tip of his chopsticks to touch the fish broth and placed it into his mouth. The fish broth contained a very faint salty taste. However, this slight salty taste caused Bu Fang's expression to instantly turn ugly.
"Bah!" Bu Fang lightly spat outside the table. Then, he picked up a glass of water and drank a mouthful to dilute the salty taste in his mouth.
"You didn't even remove the basic salty taste of the fish. There's no need to taste it. The fish meat definitely contains a fishy taste. This fishy taste is the biggest taboo when it comes to steamed fish and it is also the biggest failure." Bu Fang's expression was extremely ugly. Therefore, his tone was somewhat cold as he gave his evaluation.
Xiao Xiaolong and the others were once again stunned. Bu Fang had already judged the steamed fish to be a failure before he even tasted the fish meat … This was too unbelievable. Xiao Xiaolong, who did not believe it, used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish meat and put it into his mouth.
The taste was actually not bad. The salty taste that Bu Fang mentioned was actually not very strong. Even though it was still there, it was barely bearable.
"Cooking is all about rigor. Any mistake or mistake will affect the taste of the food! The salty taste should not exist in the first place. Since it exists, it is a failure, "Bu Fang mercilessly criticized.
Xiao Xiaolong and the others nodded their heads in a half-understanding manner. Next, the waiter brought up a few more dishes. However, when he saw that most of the dishes on the table were still in good condition, he was a little stunned.
Some dishes were practically untouched while others were only touched two or three times. However, overall, the customers on the table only tasted a single bite of these dishes.
This was practically an inconceivable thing in the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant. The dishes of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's chefs had conquered the stomachs of countless people!
When the waiter brought up the dishes again, he told elder sister Chun about the strange situation on the table. Elder sister Chun was also startled for a moment. Then, with a face full of suspicion, she carried the last dish to Bu Fang's table.
"Aiyo, young master Xiao, why aren't you guys eating? Is it not to your liking? " Elder sister Chun's eyes slightly narrowed as she arrived in front of the table. When she saw the table full of almost untouched dishes, she opened her mouth and asked.
Bu Fang was currently in a very bad mood. Not being able to taste good dishes would naturally affect his mood.
Xiao Xiaolong and the others somewhat helplessly pointed at Bu Fang and said to elder sister Chun, "This young master Bu said that your dishes are all … too inferior and completely inedible."
"What? Young master Xiao must be joking. Who in the imperial city doesn't know the taste of our Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's dishes? Even though this is the general area, even the dishes in the general area are not the slightest bit inferior to the signature dishes of the other big restaurants! "elder sister Chun chuckled and waved her hand.
Her gaze fell on Bu Fang's body with an unpleasant expression on her face.
Bu Fang ignored her. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up the last dish.
After taking a bite, Bu Fang put down his chopsticks, shook his head and indifferently opened his mouth.
"For this dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots with shrimp, the bamboo shoots chosen are too old, some of the bamboo shoots are too bitter and can't be chewed on. The quality of the shrimp used is also a mix of good and bad. Some of them are alive while others are dead. The difference in taste is too strong. I give this dish a bad rating."
After elder sister Chun heard Bu Fang's evaluation, she was completely dumbfounded. Then, she was so angry that her chest continuously heaved up and down. This zombie-faced man was indeed here to pick a fight. The signature dish of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's general area was actually evaluated as useless. What right did he have to give such an evaluation?!
Elder sister Chun rubbed her voluptuous chest and coldly glanced at Bu Fang as she said, "From your appearance, you should also be a chef, right? Since you are a chef, you should know … what right do you have to evaluate the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's dishes! "
