Chapter 422: The Stench Which Permeated Ten Miles

Translator: CatatoPatchEditor: Vermillion

The Stinky Tofu was a queer case in the world of gourmet.

If one perceived its smell, they would find it extremely stinky, but when they ate it, they would realize that it had an extremely fragrant and alluring flavor.

Such extremely polar opposite characteristics made countless people in Bu Fang's previous world fond of it.

Although Bu Fang was a chef in his previous life, he rarely ate the Stinky Tofu; he had a light mysophobia, and this caused him to reject the dish after perceiving its odor.

However, he was obliged to try making the Stinky Tofu in order to make the Cloud Mist Restaurant's name resound throughout the entire Heavenly Mist City.

The black and slightly yellow Stinky Tofu emitted a stinky and unpleasant odor.

Bu Fang's face had already darkened before the piece reached his mouth. He hesitated, procrastinated for a while and almost gave up.

However, when he finally put the piece of Stinky Tofu into his mouth, he wasn't as unwilling as before, probably because he had gotten slightly used to the stinky odor.

After Bu Fang placed it in his mouth, he bit the surface of satiny, deep-fried tofu. Bu Fang's eyes immediately lit up as he tasted the incredible flavor of the tofu in his mouth. The proverb ”stink as its peak would become a fragrance” still had some truth to it, however; and while he was chewing the tofu, Bu Fang unexpectedly didn't abhor its stinky odor, for he was already unable to smell it.

Its taste wasn't as awful as one would have imagined; instead, it was peculiarly quite good, and a rich fragrance quite different from its stinky odor burst forth within his mouth. It was like a bomb that was fermented for a long time, exploding by accident. It was also like a relaxing, refreshing, clear, and fresh stream hidden within the stinky odor that was capable of seeping into one's heart.

Disregarding the tofu's stinky odor, Bu Fang wholeheartedly began to enjoy the sweet flavor of the Stinky Tofu.

It was a flavor that was capable of mesmerizing someone thoroughly.

As Bu Fang chewed, he nodded his head in approval.

Shrimpy, who was on his shoulder, came back to its senses after foaming at the mouth for a while, and it looked at the Stinky Tofu in Bu Fang's hand with a gaze highlighting its lingering fear.

When it noticed Bu Fang unexpectedly eating the overwhelmingly stinky object, it became thoroughly dumbfounded.

....

The next day, Bu Fang got out of bed early on. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth before going into the kitchen.

Bu Fang felt quite comfortable and relaxed in this store which had undergone the system's renovation.

The fragrance from the Stinky Tofu of yesterday had already disappeared. The store had a feature that automatically refreshed the air within the place, which spared Bu Fang a lot of trouble.

He practiced his cutting technique in the kitchen for a while before he went to the entrance, and with a creaking sound, opened the metallic door.

The warm rays of the sun shone down on him through the open door, driving out the chilly air in the store.

Bu Fang let out a light breath. He stood at the entrance of the store and looked outside.

Waves of voices and shouts reverberated around the area because there was an immense crowd of people present.

The voluptuous, red-haired woman was still methodically selling elixirs. A sweet fragrance wafted out from her elixir store and enchanted countless people. People had already formed a queue in front of the store, and the long line stretched all the way to the entrance of Bu Fang's store.

Almost all people in the queue were men, and traces of infatuation were evident in their eyes as they looked at that red-haired woman.

Who knew whether they had come to buy elixirs or admire the woman.

This crowd was clearly higher than yesterday's.

There were also several elixir stores that had opened in the area.

The red-haired woman wasn't the only one who had a flourishing business, for many other stores were also filled with people. There were even some stores that had servants shouting at the people who wanted to purchase from them.

This district had become quite flourishing and was bustling with activity.

The area was filled with a surging crowd of people, the noise that they generated, and the fragrances of countless elixirs in the air.

Nangong Ming truly did not deceive them when he said that his Nangong Family's Multi-Taste Fasting Pill would be sold at this district.

It really seemed flourishing.

Despite also being situated in this flourishing region, Bu Fang's Cloud Mist Restaurant was still deserted. There wasn't even a single person in it, and the store stood out in the area.

Countless peoples in queues revealed mocking gazes whenever they gazed at Bu Fang who stood at the entrance to his store.

With his hand clasped behind his back, Bu Fang regarded all of them with an expressionless gaze.

Nangong Ming brought the Supreme-Being youth and came over from a distant place.

From very far away, he saw the dispirited and dejected Bu Fang standing at the entrance of his store, and that made him become excited.

”Oh, is your restaurant still open for business? There is such a large crowd of people in this flourishing area, yet you don't have even a single customer. Why are you even still opening up for business? Aren't you embarrassed?” Nangong Ming sneered and taunted him while walking over. ”That store there is an elixir store. Do you see how many people are in there? Have you ever seen such a great number of customers before?”

Bu Fang furrowed his brows as he looked at Nangong Ming. His eyes looked in the direction that Nangong Ming's finger was pointing at, and he saw an extremely magnificent and refined store. It was an elixir store with an extremely large crowd of people lining in front of it.

However, this store was still slightly lacking compared to the red-haired woman's store.

”If you didn't come to have a meal, then get lost. I'm doing business here, so don't block the way by standing at the entrance,” Bu Fang said calmly.

Nangong Ming was taken aback, and anger immediately became evident on his face.

”Doing business? Do you think that your lousy restaurant can ever make any business transaction?” Nangong Ming coldly sneered and pointed at Bu Fang's deserted store and disdainfully shook his head.
