Chapter 299: Bu Fang’s Special Dish… Flower Iguana (2/2)
”Without close scrutiny of the dish's conditions… how could one make gourmet delicacies using this cooking method?” Wei Dafu muttered with twitched lips. Though Bu Fang had proved him wrong time after time, he was still very much skeptical that such a method could generate any delicious food.
After all, this kind of cooking method was simply unheard of.
There was a total of two pits. Bu Fang repeated his earlier actions—wrapping the iguana flesh with spirit leaves, placing it into a pit, filling it halfway with dirt, and then lighting a fire on top with firewood.
This was the cooking method of a dish known to Bu Fang in his previous lifetime. He borrowed it and added a few amendments to better suit the cooking of this iguana meat.
Bu Fang stood by the burning flames and rubbed his chin. Then, the corners of his mouth curled.
”How about naming it Flower Iguana Meat? But that sounds kind of weird…”
Bu Fang mumbled to himself, his face displaying an odd expression. He circled the two burning pits slowly.
Once in a while, he would shoot a wave of true energy into the shallow pits. Once his true energy hit the fire, the flames would blaze even more violently.
”Senior Bu's cooking method is indeed delightfully unusual…” Tang Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At first, they really thought Bu Fang was only joking around.
After a while, everyone left and went about their own affairs.
This fire burned for at least three hours. Dazzling flames filled the air and lit up the entire campsite.
The scorching sun had already dipped under the horizon, leaving behind a dark night filled with two intersecting crescent moons.
Bu Fang stood before the two crackling bonfires. He squinted his eyes and took in a deep breath. Then, he raised his hands and smacked downwards.
Rich waves of true energy burst out of his body and landed on the fire. In that instant, the flames went out.
Rings of thick smoke rose up, as if two intertwining black dragons shooting for the sky.
Tang Yin and the others became intrigued and gathered together by the tent. The scene drew quite a crowd, as many soldiers also converged near Bu Fang.
They all shot curious looks at Bu Fang.
”So is it done?” Tang Yin's eyes instantly sparkled. Groups of people appeared next to Bu Fang. They all wore inquisitive expressions on their faces. They were dying to know whether such a peculiar cooking method would produce uniquely flavored dishes?.
A couple of soldiers came up and swept away the ashes, revealing beneath it burnt soil.
”You can dig up the dirt now.” Bu Fang gazed at the soldiers as he instructed, ”Be careful, don't ruin the dishes inside.”
Could he really make a dish here?
Since the soil has been burnt to ashes, all the moisture inside was dried out. This made the digging process all the more difficult since the dirt had become rather hard.
After quite a while, the soldiers finally scooped up all the soil, unearthing the spirit leaves inside.
They dug out the pile of spirit leaves. These spirit leaves, once verdant and fresh green, were now shriveled and brown. It looked like all of the spirit energy had been lost.
With shrunken pupils, those in the crowd wore strange looks on their faces.
Judging by the looks of the spirit leaves, they now had a hunch how the iguana meat inside would end up…
”It seemed like Owner Bu had messed up this time? The dish has failed?” Tang Yin thought to himself secretly.
However, Bu Fang retained his calm composure. He walked to the shallow pits and peeled open the crispy brown spirit leaves. He snatched up a large piece of a meat wrapped in spirit leaves.
The spirit leaves on the exterior of the meat chunks were also burnt brown. Not a trace of spirit energy could be detected.
”Coming!”
Everyone perked up as they glued their eyes to the spirit leaves. Beneath these leaves were Bu Fang's dish, the flesh of a seventh grade Gigantic Iguana.
Even though they haven't smelled its aroma yet, even thinking about the meat of this iguana watered their mouths. At the end of the day, this was the flesh of a seventh grade spirit beast. How could they not look forward to it?
It wasn't every day that one could taste the meat of a seventh grade spirit beast.
A wisp of smoke twirled around Bu Fang's hands and the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife appeared. Afterward, Bu Fang lightly tapped the burnt spirit leaves with the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife.
The moment his kitchen knife tapped down, the crispy spirit leaves immediately burst open from both sides.
From the ripped crack emitted a blaring beam of light!
The Flower Iguana Meat, completed!
