Chapter 53: The Clueless Oyster-Pancake-Eating Spectators (2/2)

After washing up, Bu Fang opened up the store. There was already a line of people waiting outside and Fatty Jin and his buddies were already waiting for quite some time.

”Oh my, Owner Bu, you are slightly slower today,” Fatty Jin grumbled, but the expression on his face was still very happy. He was already used to eating breakfast at Bu Fang's restaurant every morning and according to him, ”It was the greatest happiness to eat Bu Fang's dishes once everyday.”

”Yes, I was preparing a new dish, that's why I was slightly slower than usual,” Bu Fang unabashedly said.

”A new dish?” Fatty Jin was immediately excited when he heard that. He turned his head to look at the menu on the wall and saw that there was indeed a new dish at the bottom.

”Oyster Pancake, two per serving, five crystals (takeout permitted).”

”Oyster Pancake? I've never heard of this dish before,” Fatty Jin thought as he went into a daze. ”It seems to be very awesome from the sound of it.”

”Then owner, I would like to have a serving of this Oyster Pancake,” Fatty Jin readily said. He was a nouveau riche and did not lack money.

”You can order other dishes first, then ordered the Oyster Pancake as takeout and eat while walking,” Bu Fang reminded him.

Fatty Jin immediately realized his mistake as he nodded and ordered other dishes.

After memorizing the orders, Bu Fang turned around and entered the kitchen and began to prepare the dishes.

Ouyang Xiaoyi skipped into the store. Even though she no longer needed to work as the waitress, she was still habitually coming to work.

Bu Fang was not opposed to this either and allowed her to do as she pleased.

”Xiaoyi, isn't it an important day for the Ouyang family? Why are you still working today?” While Fatty Jin was waiting for his food to arrive, he was slightly bored and started chatting with Ouyang Xiaoyi.

”Eh? Is there something big happening?” Ouyang Xiaoyi was startled.

Fatty Jin continued and said, ”It's not really that big of a deal. It's already spread within the entire imperial city that His Majesty ordered Great General Xiao Meng and General Ouyang to jointly host today's execution. They're executing those experts from the sects at the Gate of Heavenly Mystery.”

”I know, right? I heard the leaders from the Death Soul Palace are all sixth grade Battle-Emperors… They're actually going to be executed together. The entire empire was shocked by the news. This time His Majesty is really determined to intimidate those sects outside of the border.”

”Old Jin, let me tell you. I am afraid that this execution won't proceed smoothly. Didn't a great battle occur between Great General Xiao and the Heart-rending Sword Monarch yesterday? Do you know what happened? The Heart-rending Sword Monarch actually escaped!”

”Other than the mysterious Celestial Arcanum Sect, experts from the other nine great sects have all gathered within the imperial city to stop today's execution. I am afraid that an earth-shaking battle will happen today! Have you not noticed that there are several times more guards within the imperial city than usual?”

...

When Ouyang Xiaoyi heard the discussion of the customers, she suddenly became absent-minded. She thought, ”According to what they're saying, doesn't that mean father and elder brothers would be in danger?”

”Xiaoyi, serve the dishes,” Bu Fang's indifferent voice drifted out from the kitchen and interrupted Xiaoyi's thoughts.

When Fatty Jin and the rest finished their meals, Bu Fang had also finished deep frying the Oyster Pancake.

There were six people within this group of obese men and each of them ordered a serving of Oyster Pancakes. With a dozen of Oyster Pancakes, they had to wait for quite a while.

”This is the Oyster Pancake? It's so fragrant!” Fatty Jin looked at the two pieces of Oyster Pancake wrapped in bamboo leaves in his hands and swallowed his saliva. The golden Oyster Pancake was exuding a rich fragrance that stimulated his appetite.

Bringing along their fascination toward the Oyster Pancake, the group left Fang Fang's Little Store.

”Old Jin, why don't we take a look at the execution grounds? Six Battle-Emperors are being executed, there's no way we can miss such a grand occasion,” one of them said and the rest immediately agreed.

And so, a group of obese men was holding Oyster Pancakes in their hands as they majestically headed for the execution grounds, planning to eat along the way, and became clueless Oyster-Pancake-eating spectators.
