Chapter 289: Why Should I Care if You are Uncomfortable?

Bu Fang calmly covered his pot with a lid made of wood. After sealing it, he carried it out without caring about the cold gazes the other cooks gave him.

The other cooks were extremely angry as the dishes they prepared with utmost care were suppressed by Bu Fang's dish. Not to mention the fact that Bu Fang's dish was made from ordinary ingredients. This was an outright humiliation to the other cooks.

However, no matter how angry they were, they didn't attack Bu Fang. After all, they were in another group's camp and the commander, Zhu, was standing not too far away. Even if they wanted to teach Bu Fang a lesson, they had to wait till they returned to their own camp.

Therefore the only thing the other cooks could do was to snort at him coldly. They also glared at Bu Fang with eyes that didn't harbor good intentions.

Wei Dafu was extremely shocked by Bu Fang's skill. However, his shock was quickly suppressed by him as he knew that the tallest tree in a forest would always be ravaged by the wind. Such a statement was applicable everywhere, and Bu Fang's splendid performance had already attracted many jealous and wary gazes.

Bu Fang's life among the army cooks would just get more and more difficult from now on. It might even reach the stage where it would be difficult for Bu Fang to take a single step out.

However, Bu Fang wasn't concerned about any of this at all.

The only change in his expression was when he furrowed his brows. Ignoring the sharp gazes from the other cooks, he lifted his pot and left the camp. The pot was empty and it was justifiable for him to return to his own tent.

After witnessing Bu Fang's empty pot, Wei Dafu could feel his face heating up. He was starting to feel embarrassed as he was the one who was skeptical about Bu Fang's dish in the first place. He had ferociously said that if Bu Fang's dish wasn't eaten by anyone, he would ruthlessly punish him. However, the results made Wei Dafu choke on his words. It seemed as though his words gave him a sharp slap on his own face.

Not only was Bu Fang's dish eaten, but it was also the first to be eaten completely.

Comparing yourself to another person would truly... make you choke yourself in anger.

”Are the dishes made by this kid.... really that good?” Wei Dafu's head was already starting to spin.

Bu Fang carried his pot as he walked back to his camp. After stretching lazily, he sat down cross-legged on his bed. He thought about the ingredients which didn't have the slightest trace of spirit energy in them and he couldn't help but furrow his brows. He thought about the different ways he could have cooked the ingredients.

While Bu Fang was deep in his thoughts, mealtime ended and the other cooks started returning to the camp.

The atmosphere in the camp instantly became awkward.

Long Cai was the first one who came over to Bu Fang. He was also the first one to give Bu Fang a kind warning. Bu Fang's dish stole the limelight of all the other cooks and thus the dishes prepared by them were not well received by the soldiers.

Currently, the old cooks wanted to give Bu Fang a hard time.

Bu Fang's response gave Long Cai a shock. He stared at Bu Fang dumbfounded when he realized that Bu Fang wasn't the least bit worried about the other cooks. With a calm expression, Bu Fang remained on his bed.

Wei Dafu placed his hands behind his back as he followed the other cooks who were making their way toward Bu Fang's tent. They eventually squeezed their way into Bu Fang's tent.

”What kind of smell is this? It's obviously the smell of some kind of poison! What kind of good dish could be made inside such a run-down place?”

”Tsk Tsk Tsk... All of you, come over and look at this. The vegetable seems to be rotten and the stench of the rotten vegetables is stinking up the room. Someone actually dares to use such ingredients to prepare food. This is truly shameless.”

”Where are his moral and principles? If the soldiers develop a stomachache after eating food made from this place, it would be a huge problem! What would we do then? ”

...

The moment the group of cooks came into Bu Fang's tent, they started criticizing and picking fault with him. It was evident that everyone was extremely annoyed with Bu Fang for stealing their limelight.

Bu Fang was a newcomer and a youngster. Yet all of them were experienced cooks and they were suppressed by such a youngster. This made all of them quite unhappy.

Long Cai was angry with the other cooks for picking on Bu Fang, but he had no way to stop them. Although he was young, he had been in the army for quite some time. He heard the stories about how the older cooks would take advantage of their own seniority to suppress the newer cooks. However, this was the first time he actually saw it happening.

He felt a bit disgusted by them. Their current appearance caused goosebumps on his entire body.

Bu Fang was living in the camp where the ordinary ingredients were stored. As they were ordinary ingredients, they had a much shorter shelf life compared to spirit ingredients. Of course, it was normal for some of them to rot. Bu Fang had no idea why they were putting up such a pretentious act in front of him.

Could it be because his dish was accepted by most of the soldiers?

It was easy for a human's mind to lose its harmony. The moment their sanity was lost, they would exhibit disgusting behavior.

Bu Fang calmly swept this group of people with his calm gaze. There wasn't a shred of emotion behind his gaze.
