The atmosphere inside the small store immediately became somewhat weird.
Xiao Xiaolong widened his eyes and glared at Bu Fang while panting with rage with his fair skin turning red, which looked almost the same as a ripe honey peach, incomparably captivating... This little sissy looked even more attractive than a woman.
Bu Fang had also widened his eyes and was speechless momentarily. He have not imagined that Xiao Xiaolong's talent would unexpectedly be so gifted and was not any inferior to the bustling Yu Fu in the kitchen.
Xiao Yanyu's talent was also pretty good, but compared to Xiao Xiaolong, she was still somewhat inferior. This was simply too overwhelming.
”Owner Bu... What are you trying to say? Are you looking down on me, Xiao Xiaolong?” Xiaolong said in grievance.
Xiao Yanyu, who was at the side, helplessly watched everything unfold. She felt that the situation was very comical and could no longer hold in her laughter. She covered her mouth and started giggling.
Ouyang Xiaoyi also started giggling incessantly.
Bu Fang became a little awkward as he coughed lightly and said: ”No… I did not have any intention of looking down on you. Aren't you a gifted talent from the Imperial Capital? I assumed you would be a lot busier...”
”My sister is also a great talent within the Imperial Capital...why weren't you concerned whether or not she would be busy?” Xiao Xiaolong curled his lip. The excuse Owner Bu used was really too lousy.
”Isn't your sister going to the Southern City? Why aren't you following her?” Asked a puzzled Bu Fang.
”The Xiao Family ancestor grounds is in the Southern City. At that time, our father had followed Emperor Changfeng for his expedition. Ultimately, he decided to start afresh here. However, the Xiao Family in Southern City is still very reputable to the locals. We also aren't sure what have happened, but for the past few days, the elders in the Xiao Family had asked one of us to return back and my dad had asked my sister to do so,” Xiao Xiaolong said truthfully.
Xiao Yanyu nodded her head in acknowledgement. Within her beautiful pupils were traces of regret as she gazed at Bu Fang. Xiao Yanyu would loved to learn from Bu Fang if circumstances allowed it.
”Alright, then… Later on, when you return home, cook a serving of Egg-Fried Rice and bring it over for me to taste tomorrow. If you are able to meet my expectations, the second apprentice position will be yours.” Bu Fang said nonchalantly to Xiao Xiaolong.
”Second?”
”Oh... Let me introduce you to another person. The first apprentice I had accepted is a serpent-woman, Yu Fu.” Bu Fang introduced. Subsequently, he turned around to face the kitchen and shouted Yu Fu's name.
Yu Fu was taken aback. She stopped whatever she was doing as she swayed her tail and came out of the kitchen. She stood behind Bu Fang charmingly.
Yu Fu was a little bashful as she placed her hands in front of her waist. She slightly bowed at Xiao Xiaolong and Xiao Yanyu.
Yu Fu was not as pretty as Xiao Yanyu and Ni Yan, but when compared to a ordinary female, she was still very charming.
Xiao Xiaolong was someone who was very sociable and soon became familiar with Yu Fu. He ordered a few dishes and after finishing his meal, he returned back to his Xiao Mansion hurriedly.
Bu Fang looked at Xiao Xiaolong's leaving silhouette and the corner of his mouth was raised slightly. ”I have finally managed to find my second apprentice.”
This kind of words could only be said when Bu Fang have finally managed to complete the assignment given to him by the system. However, he might perhaps still have to wait till the system approved Xiao Xiaolong. Only when Xiao Xiaolong possessed a kitchen table like Yu Fu's would the mission be counted as accomplished.
Bu Fang stood up from his chair and stretched. Thereafter, he walked into the kitchen, ”Yu Fu, I am going to teach you the recipe of Red Braised Meat today. For our Red Braised Meat, you will have to pay extra attention to the control of the true energy within the meat.”
The kitchen was buzzing with activity the moment Bu Fang started cooking. Xiaoyi was at the little store recording all the diners' order enthusiastically.
...
Imperial Capital, Xiao Mansion.
Ji Ru'Er and Xiao Meng strolled in the Xiao Mansion garden with the flower fragrance accompanying them. There were jokes and laughter within their conversation, pervading the atmosphere with their slight happiness.
”Madam, you should keep Yanyu and Xiaolong company. Tomorrow, Yanyu is going to leave for Southern City. It might be very hard for you to see her again for the next 6 months.” Xiao Meng pulled Ji Ru'Er fragrant shoulder toward him and said gently. The strongest person in the Imperial Capital would usually possess a sonorous voice. It was hard to see him speaking in such a gentle voice.
”Would anything happen to Yanyu after returning to the Southern City? How about asking little Yue to tag along?” Ji Ru'Er said.
”It's fine. It's just that something trifling had happen in the Xiao Family. Yanyu is very intelligent and she knows how to act appropriately. She should be able to solve it very easily.” Xiao Meng smiled faintly. He had extreme faith in Xiao Yanyu's capability.
Recently, Xiao Yue had been busy with trying to break through and it would not be appropriate to disturb him. If Xiao Yue were to successfully break through, he would become a Battle-Saint. By then, there would be two Battle-Saints overseeing his Xiao family and their position would become as steady as a boulder.
Ji Ru'Er smiled gently. She was originally an extremely gentle woman.
”Just now when little Xiaolong returned home, he went straight into the kitchen. Since when was he so fond of the kitchen?”
