Chapter 70: Pan-Fried Flower Crab, I Give a Poor Rating! (2/2)
Xiao Yanyu was covering her mouth as she chuckled as well. A trace of captivating redness appeared on her beautiful face.
On the other hand, Bu Fang was extremely puzzled. He was speaking the truth. The assessment he gave pointed out the fatal flaws of the dishes. If they made revisions based on these flaws, the taste of these dishes would at least improve by a single grade.
After a while, the fragrance of a dish drifted toward them.
Elder sister Chun's hips were swaying as she leisurely approached while bringing the dish. She was carrying a large plate with flower crabs that exuded a rich fragrance. These flower crabs were split into halves and erected on the plate. From a distance, it looked dazzling and glorious.
”This is a very well-known dish of the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant's distinguished area, the Pan-Fried Flower Crab.” Elder sister Chun provocatively looked at Bu Fang after placing the dish onto the table.
Xiao Xiaolong was feeling slightly unable to restrain himself as he breathed in the aroma of the flower crab. Previously, when he came to the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant, he would definitely order this dish.
He moved one of the flower crabs into his bowl and eagerly removed the shell before he heartily started eating.
Bu Fang also helped himself to one half of a flower crab. The color of the flower crab was well-controlled. The red-colored shell and also the fragrance that exuded after it was pan-fried were quite tantalizing.
Grabbing a single chopstick, Bu Fang pried open the shell of the flower crab and the fragrant crab meat was exposed in front of him. That white and tender crab meat was giving off a faint heat, and when supplemented by the red shell, made it even more inviting.
Bu Fang did not immediately touch the crab meat. He used his chopstick to scoop off some of the crab butter from the shell. The crab butter was amber in color and very enticing. Even though the fragrance was not that strong, it was still the essence of a crab.
”Hmm?” After Bu Fang tasted the crab butter that remained on the shell, he began to frown and did not say anything. Then, he took a bite of the tender and fragrant crab meat and his expression was still solemn.
After tasting both the crab butter and crab meat, Bu Fang put the flower crab down and did not say anything.
”What's wrong? Can't point out any flaws? The dishes on the first floor are prepared for ordinary commoners and you would definitely be able to point out the flaws. However, now that you're on the second floor, the dishes here are prepared for the distinguished guests, the prestigious people within the imperial city. Can you still point out the flaws?”
When elder sister Chun saw that Bu Fang was not speaking, she immediately began to mock and ridicule him.
Xiao Xiaolong and the others were also startled as they puzzledly looked at Bu Fang. However, according to their understanding of Bu Fang, he would definitely not give up such a chance to put down others.
Bu Fang glanced at the jubilant elder sister Chun, then pursed his lips and simply said, ”It's not that I can't say anything, it's that I am speechless. Is this really a signature dish from the second floor of Immortal Phoenix Restaurant?
”Leaving aside how the flower crab was cooked, the choice of the flower crab itself was a stain on this dish. The most important aspect of Pan-Fried Flower Crab is the selection of the flower crab. This flower crab's meat is not tender enough and it's as tasteless as water. Just from looking, I can tell that this crab was artificially bred. The texture of the meat feels empty and the taste is much worse than wild flower crabs. Furthermore, there's also the problem with the pan-frying process. The control over the heat was not done properly and as a result, the crab butter lost its fragrance and taste due to overcooking. Overall, I give a poor rating.”
It was not that Bu Fang could not say it, but he was lazy to say it. When he first smelled this dish of Pan-Fried Flower Crab, he was feeling slightly expectant. However, once he tasted it, that expectation sharply fell. Saying that it fell from the sky into an abyss would not be an exaggeration.
Elder sister Chun went into a daze. Xiao Xiaolong and the others went into a daze as well. So… this dish had so many flaws! They could not tell at all!
”Hmph! Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense! Who knows whether your comments are correct!” Elder sister Chun started to sneer.
Bu Fang indifferent glanced at her and looked away. ”It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Hurry up and serve the other dishes. I've already lost my patience with your dishes.”
That was right, whether she believed or not did not matter to Bu Fang. He was only there to complete the system mission and not to educate elder sister Chun.
”Elder sister Chun, what happened? What's the reason for the dispute?”
Just when elder sister Chun's chest was heaving from exasperation, a slim figure slowly approached and started to speak.
When elder sister Chun saw the person who approached, her eyes lit up as she said, ”Owner Qian, hurry up and come over. This fellow is saying that our restaurant's dishes are not cooked properly!”
