Chapter 421: Bu Fang Cooks the Stinky Tofu (2/2)
In the past, the dishes he had made were all fragrant to the extreme, but this dish he had chosen to make was stinky to the extreme.
Since it was difficult for a fragrant aroma to attract customers' attention, then Bu Fang would tread the other extreme path, and let them enjoy an extremely stinky odor.
In any case, Bu Fang didn't have any good impression of the people in the queue that had extended to the entrance of his store.
Since all of you are quite fond of lining up, then I will let you continue lining up. If you all can remain in that line after I make the Stinky Tofu, then I will admit that you all are awesome.
When that happened, Bu Fang would see if anyone in the Sky Mist City would disregard his Cloud Mist Restaurant.
He moved the tofu to the side and opened a cupboard. The marinade in the bucket was ready because the cupboard had an effect of hastening the flow of time within it.
Bu Fang's brows rose up when he opened the cupboard because an extremely stinky odor surged out, along with a stream of spiritual energy. Its stink wasn't distinct, but it still caused Bu Fang to smack his lips.
He put the bucket on the ground.
Bu Fang took some seasonings and scattered them into the bucket filled with the stinking marinade.
Rumble!
That pitch-black marinade in the bucket started rolling immediately, and several bubbles appeared on it. An even stinkier odor surged out from it, causing Bu Fang to scrunch his face.
This stinky odor was really too strong.
Bu Fang covered his nose and started tossing countless pieces of tofu into the extremely stinky marinade.
As he watched all the tofu sink into the mixture in the bucket, Bu Fang grinned in excitement.
The tofu soaked in the marinade for four hours before Bu Fang fished them out.
The pieces of tofu that had just re-emerged were slightly black because they had been soaked in that marinade. The stinky odor emanating of them caused Bu Fang to feel somewhat dizzy.
Honestly, the Stinky Tofu's odor was extremely unpleasant, but its flavor was exceptionally good. The only dish that had such extremely polar opposite characteristics was this Stinky Tofu.
It could be considered an oddity in the world of gourmet.
Green smoke curled around his hand as he summoned the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. He poured some oil into the wok and spouted a golden ball of the Ten Thousand Bestial Flames beneath it, causing its temperature to begin rising up drastically.
Bu Fang placed his hand into the oil and started sensing its temperature. When the oil became warm, he poured the blackened pieces of tofu into the wok and started deep frying them.
Sizzle!
As the tofu was being fried, its stinky odor surged out from the wok along with the hot air from the evaporating oil. The odor caused a bitter expression to appear on Bu Fang's face.
The mantis shrimp on his shoulder had been extremely excited all along, and it kept on moving its small feet. When the temperature of the wok reached a degree high enough to evaporate oil, that little creature jumped from Bu Fang's shoulder in excitement. It spun an entire 360 degrees in the air before falling in the wok with a resounding ”plump”. And, as soon as it entered the wok, an extremely strong, stinky odor burst out of it.
Such an odor stunned the mantis shrimp, and immediately, it began to struggle inside the oil.
It swayed its tail and jumped out from the oil.
It stirred its spiritual energy and evaporated the oil that was all over it. Afterward, the mantis shrimp climbed back onto Bu Fang's shoulder and motionlessly lay there, with foam coming out from its mouth.
If a single word was to be used to describe how it currently felt, the word would be ”stunned”.
Bu Fang was amused by scene; the naughty fellow should have been choked by that stinking smell.
He fished up a black and slightly yellow piece of Stinky Tofu from the oil, and after he had drained the oil from it, he put it into a bowl. He used a chopstick to poke a hole in the fried piece of Stinky Tofu, which caused its stinky odor to grow richer and more intense.
After Bu Fang had sprayed some seasonings over the dish, the overwhelmingly Stinky Tofu was completed.
Bu Fang couldn't help but smack his lips as he looked at the exquisitely black and slightly yellow piece of Stinky Tofu.
This Stinky Tofu was the first dish he planned to promote in the branch store, Cloud Mist Restaurant. It would surely be a pleasant surprise to the citizens of the Heavenly Mist City.
Since a fragrant aroma was incapable of attracting their attention, then he would use a stinky odor instead. They would see which one had a stronger odor; the Multi-Taste Fasting Pill of the surrounding elixir stores or his Stinky Tofu.
Bu Fang curled up the corners of his mouth.
He used chopsticks and picked up the piece of Stinky Tofu.
Shrimpy rolled its eyes for a while and leaned closer to him. As soon as it did that, it fell back down on Bu Fang's shoulder and foam began flowing from its mouth again.
Bu Fang shot a look at Shrimpy before he expressionlessly put that piece of Stinky Tofu into his mouth.
And, in the next moment, Bu Fang heaved in a deep breath.
