Hidden Dragon Continent, the imperial city of the Light Wind Empire.
The bustling imperial city was bustling with noise and excitement. Towering buildings lined both sides of the wide streets. Restaurants and inns could be found everywhere. The aroma of the dishes cooked by the chefs permeated the air and lingered for a long time.
Among them, the number one restaurant in the imperial city, the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant, was bustling with people and its business was booming.
The houses in the imperial city were arranged in neat rows and densely packed with alleys. If one walked along the main road of the imperial city, past the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant and walked for several miles, one would see a deep alleyway. Walking straight into the alleyway and turning left, one would see a simple and crude little restaurant.
A big black dog was lying in front of the restaurant with its tongue hanging out. The interior of the restaurant was even more desolate as there was not a single customer.
Suddenly, a young figure walked out of the restaurant. This figure was thin and fair. His long black hair was tied up with a slender velvet rope. His forehead was shiny and he did not have any bangs. His entire person appeared very neat and tidy.
"Blacky, it's time to eat." Bu Fang walked out of the restaurant with a porcelain bowl in his slender fingers and placed it in front of the big black dog. The eyes of the big black dog, which was originally lying listlessly on the ground, suddenly lit up. It was full of vigor and began to gulp down the bowl of food.
After stroking the big black dog's smooth and untainted fur, Bu Fang lightly smiled and walked back into the restaurant.
Bu Fang, male, twenty years old. He was originally an aspiring chef on Earth. When he woke up, he found himself in this fantasy world with the [Gourmet System] inexplicably appearing in his head. This restaurant was created by the system on the second day after Bu Fang transmigrated to this world.
It had been a month since the establishment of this restaurant and there was not a single customer. Bu Fang was already numb to it. Every day, all he needed to do was practice his culinary skills according to the requirements of the [Gourmet System] and feed the big black dog at the entrance on time.
Bu Fang did not know the origin of the big black dog. He only remembered that it appeared a week after the establishment of the restaurant. The system reminded Bu Fang to take out some food from his practice dishes and feed it to the big black dog. Just like that, every day when the restaurant opened, the big black dog would lie not far away, waiting for Bu Fang's food to be fed.
Strictly speaking, the large black dog was Bu Fang's first customer, although it was a freeloader.
After returning to the restaurant, Bu Fang looked around the deserted restaurant and sighed. Although the restaurant was simple and crude, it was very clean and tidy. There were a few tables in the ten-square-meter restaurant. It was truly a small restaurant.
Looking at the three dishes on the menu, Bu Fang let out a long sigh and felt helpless.
The menu was a wooden board hanging in the middle of the restaurant. There were only three dishes written on it.
It was hard to imagine that a restaurant would only make three dishes. Furthermore, the prices behind the dishes … were really shocking.
A plate of stir-fried vegetables was actually priced at a hundred gold coins. A bowl of Dry-Mixed Noodles was also priced at a hundred gold coins. As for the last dish, Egg-Fried Rice, it was even more outrageous … It was actually priced at a crystal.
Crystals were something only cultivators would have. A crystal could be exchanged for about a thousand gold coins. Moreover, it was the kind that had a demand but no supply.
Yet, the prices of the dishes in this small restaurant were so outrageous that they could be called sky-high.
Bu Fang did not believe that anyone would be so stupid as to order these dishes. Although he admitted that these dishes were indeed delicious, when he looked at the prices … Bu Fang still felt a headache.
"As a God of Cooking who wants to stand at the top of the food chain in this fantasy world, how can I not have a first customer? If I have a first customer within a month, I will receive a reward from the system. "
This was the mission given by the system a few days after the establishment of the restaurant. There were less than three days left until the one-month deadline. Bu Fang expressionlessly stared at the deserted alleyway.
"Looks like my dream of becoming a God of Cooking is going to be strangled in the cradle before it even begins." Bu Fang looked at the time. He sighed in his heart and stood up to close the door of the restaurant.
Dishes were not allowed to be taken out without permission. The opening hours were strictly regulated.
The small restaurant was not big, but there were a lot of rules. However, since the rules were set by the system, they became Bu Fang's rules.
Today's opening hours were over. After closing the door of the restaurant, Bu Fang returned to the kitchen and started to practice his cooking skills. This so-called practice actually did not require much skill. It was just cooking continuously. The ingredients were provided and updated by the system every day. All Bu Fang needed to do was to practice.
In the corner of the kitchen, there was a humanoid robot. This robot was created by the system to recycle the food that Bu Fang used after his practice. Besides Bu Fang's food and the big black dog's food, all the other practice food had to be put into the robot's stomach for recycling.
After turning on the stove and lighting the fire, Bu Fang began his daily cooking practice.
Although he was in a fantasy world, the kitchen of the restaurant built by the system was arranged according to the modern equipment on Earth.
There was a smokeless pan, a stainless steel kitchen knife, a clean wooden chopping board, a range hood, a microwave oven, a refrigerator … Everything was there, and it was more modern than the one on Earth. Bu Fang did not feel any discomfort when using it, and he even liked the feeling of cooking.
As night fell, the two bright moons in the sky of the other world resonated with each other and sprinkled down a veil-like moonlight.
At the entrance of the small restaurant, the big black dog was lying comfortably on the ground after finishing its meal. Accompanied by the sounds of insects in the quiet alley, it guarded the small restaurant.
Early the next morning, Bu Fang drowsily woke up. After washing up, he opened the door of the small restaurant.
The entrance was still as cold and cheerless as before. There was not a single person in sight and the big black dog was lying on the ground as usual.
Bu Fang suddenly felt a little envious of the popular Immortal Phoenix Restaurant outside the alley. Its business was really booming. The customers coming and going almost broke the threshold of the restaurant.
When his small restaurant's business could be as good as the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's, Bu Fang would be able to lie in the toilet and laugh secretly.
"Host, as a gourmet who wants to stand at the top of the food chain in the fantasy world, you should not be envious of other restaurants' business. For the sake of a bright future, start working hard!"
The system's mechanical and solemn voice rang out in Bu Fang's mind, reminding him.
Bu Fang had already gotten used to it. During the past month, whenever the thought of envying the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant appeared in his mind, the system would give him chicken soup on time to encourage him.
From the looks of it, the system was actually quite humane.
Bu Fang moved a chair and sat at the entrance of the restaurant. Under the warm sunlight, his buttocks involuntarily slid down from the chair. He lazily curled up on the chair and felt extremely satisfied.
The alley was still completely empty.
"Another day without customers," Bu Fang thought to himself as he tilted his head and yawned.
The big black dog was lying on the ground. It indifferently glanced at him and snorted. Then, it buried its head and continued sticking out its tongue.
Just as Bu Fang was about to fall asleep, the sound of footsteps woke him up. He lazily opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man wearing a martial arts outfit passing by the alley.
"Huh? There's actually an idiot who opened a restaurant in this alley where almost no one passes by? "
The handsome young man was truly handsome. He had an oval face, large and intelligent eyes, vermilion lips, and fair skin. If it was not for his flat chest and protruding Adam's apple, Bu Fang would have almost mistaken him for a mischievous girl dressed as a man.
"Don't all the girls in fantasy worlds like to play like this?"
The handsome young man seemed to be interested in this little restaurant that was opened in an unfrequented alley. He actually walked into the restaurant.
However, Bu Fang did not get up and continued to sit on the chair. Even though the other party had entered the restaurant, he was still not a customer since he did not order anything. That was because Bu Fang knew that in order to become a customer, he must first be able to afford the exorbitant prices.
As expected, when the handsome young man saw the price of the dishes on the menu, his already large eyes widened even more. His scream even echoed in the quiet alley.
"Oh my god! A dish of stir-fried vegetables for a hundred gold coins? You actually charged one crystal for a dish of Egg-Fried Rice? Have you gone crazy from thinking about money?! "
