570 A Strip For You, A Strip For Me, We Will Sell The Remaining Three (1/2)
It was a scene of harmony in the Cloud Mist Restaurant.
Nethery walked along the small shop, hugging a porcelain pot. She had eaten until her entire mouth was oily, turning her beautiful face red yet again. It made her entire being look as if she were angry.
Lord Dog lay below the Path-Understanding Tree, burping while narrowing his dog eyes.
”Lass, give this Lord Dog another strip.”
Lord Dog waved his paw at Nethery.
Nethery's figure paused and her slender fingers reached into the pot. A Chili Strip carrying bright oil then flew out from the porcelain pot, toward where Lord Dog was.
With a crunching sound, Lord Dog began to chew on the Chili Strip. He burped as he chewed and a pungent spicy smell filled the area.
Nethery puckered her lips and she was elated. She hugged the porcelain pot as she walked around. While strolling around, she continued eating the chili strips. This woman's red lips had become extremely bright because of the spice, giving out a rosy glow. She appeared extremely enchanting.
Suddenly, Nethery's walking figure froze. Her long straight black hair swayed like a waterfall as she turned, looking toward Lord Dog innocently.
”Lord… Didn't Bu Fang tell me to sell these Chili Strips before he left?” Nethery coldly asked.
Lord Dog burped and the spicy smell lingered in the air.
”Huh? Lass, you actually remembered? It's no problem, eat as much as you like. What are you afraid of? If that kid dares to ask you to sell the Chili Strips, he should have been prepared to not be able to sell a single strip.”
Lord Dog's raised his eyes to look at Nethery as he continued to chew on a piece of Chili Strip.
Nethery's eyes suddenly widened, ”Really?”
”What are you scared of? Give me another strip. If something happens, I will take responsibility.” Lord Dog pulled back its mouth, waving his paw with the face of a hooligan.
Eighty, who was sitting in the distance, seemed to understand Lord Dog's words. Its head shook and it revealed a look of disdain. It cried out with clucking sounds.
”Hey, you are just a little chicken. How dare you mock Lord Dog? Don't make me pluck out all your feathers and make you a featherless Eight Treasures Chicken!” Lord Dog glared at Eighty as it said.
Eighty was scared in an instant. It flapped its wings, and its small eyes widened as it began to run away. It clucked out as it ran.
”Lord, if Bu Fang comes back and hears about this, will he not make us food anymore? Your Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, my Dragon Blood Rice, will they be all gone?” Nethery's mouth trembled as she said.
Lord Dog froze and its eyes narrowed. It was something extremely possible. With that kid Bu Fang's temper, he might really do such a heartless thing.
”Okay then, Lass, how many strips are there left in the pot? If we start the business now, we would at least be able to sell some of them. Since we actually did something, that rascal shouldn't refuse to cook for us.” Lord Dog's mouth pulled back, smiling as he said.
Nethery flicked the Chili Strips in the porcelain pot, then raised her head expressionlessly and looked at Lord Dog.
”There's only five left.”
”There's still so many left? Come, a strip for you, a strip for me, then we'll sell the remaining three. We really are too generous.”
Once Lord Dog heard that there were still five strips left, he was shocked. How many Chili Strips did that kid Bu Fang make? Even when he and Nethery had eaten countless strips, for there to still be five left at the end?
”Lord, what you say makes sense.” Nethery nodded her head seriously. Her slender fingers pinched into the pot once again and tossed out another Chili Strip, covered with oil, toward Lord Dog, who caught it in his mouth.
Nethery also grabbed a strip and stuffed it into her own mouth. While chewing, she waved her hand and the bronze gate instantly opened with a bang. The light from outside shone into the store and the people who were queuing outside broke out into frenzy. When the bronze gate opened, chaos broke out.
At the front of the crowd was Nangong Wuque, whose face was full of excitement.
”Haha! Boss Bu, you've finally opened the store!”
Nangong Wuque rushed in with a face of elation. However, when he saw the cold Nethery, he froze.
”Big sis Nethery, good morning! Huh? Sis, why are your lips so red?” Nangong Wuque said curiously, looking at Nethery.
Nethery glanced over him coldly and placed the porcelain pot on the table with a loud bang.
”Bu Fang isn't here today. However, he said that I am the one in charge today. We still have to do business and sell these Crazy Hot Chili Strips. Burp...”
The atmosphere became extremely awkward as Nethery released out a burp full of the smell of chili once she had finished talking. However, her appearance remain the same without any sight of embarrassment.
”Crazy Hot Chilli Strips?” Although Nangong Wuque's face was strange, his eyes had a trace of excitement. Wasn't that the dish Bu Fang prepared in the finals? It was something he had to try! How meaningful...
”Give me a strip! To be able to defeat White Demon Jiang Ling's six-mark spirit pill, it definitely isn't an ordinary dish!” Nangong Wuque said.
Behind Nangong Wuque, many people were also getting extremely excited.
Chili Strips!
Back when they saw the five hundred evaluators fighting on the stage for the dish, the scene was really a sight to behold. Who in the right mind wouldn't want to give such a delicacy a try?
Sorceress An Sheng couldn't wait at the entrance anymore. She swayed her plump hips and pushed Nangong Wuque to the side.
”Give me a strip too! It doesn't matter how much it costs!”
Nangong Wan also popped out her head, smiling at Nethery.
Nethery was expressionless, looking seriously at the three. Then, she slowly opened her mouth and said, ”You guys are lucky. This time, Bu Fang made three Chili Strips, one for each of you. Perfect, Burd.”
Everyone was stunned, including the customers who were eavesdropping outside.
There were hundreds of them there… and she was saying that they only had three Chili Strips?
Was Boss Bu stupid?
Even if he used his toes to think, he should have known that there would be a lot of customers today.
