959 Special Grade Chef Tes (1/2)
A man wearing a golden robe, dragon boots, and a purple-gold crown appeared. His face was fair, but his eyes had a fierce look that made people fear him.
This person was Tong Cheng, the young master of the Tong family, one of the aristocratic families in the Immortal City.
He was also a chef who had reached the First Grade Immortal Chef level, so his status in the Immortal City was noble. After all, an Immortal Chef was rare, and obtaining an Immortal Chef status was no small feat.
Tong Cheng fiddled with the jade bead in his hand as he indifferently looked at the three experts, who were crouching outside the gate.
\”Hadn't I requested you to break his hands and feet and then bring him back?\”
The three experts suddenly looked at each other, revealing their helplessness.
They reported everything that happened earlier to Tong Cheng, even the part where they had been stripped naked by that puppet. After finishing the report, they lowered their heads and no longer said a word.
\”You three are experts who have ignited eight divine flames, not to mention each of you rode a Thunder Dragon Horse, and you're telling me you can't even beat a puppet? You three sure have a long way to go.\”
Tong Cheng fiddled with the jade bead and sneered.
\”A puppet from the lower realm is unexpectedly so strong that you three were unable to fight back… It does seem like it's an Immortal Puppet. This young master now wants to see that puppet for himself.\”
The corners of Tong Cheng's mouth lifted into a smile, revealing a pleased expression.
However, his hand that was holding the jade bead seemed to say otherwise. With a sudden burst of strength, the hand tightened its grip on the jade bead, crushing it in an instant.
…
Xuanyuan Xiahui sighed. The pitch-black heavy kitchen knife in his hand pounded down, and with a loud bang, the cutting board was smashed, breaking into several pieces.
Hearing that sound, Xuanyuan Xuan immediately ran from outside the kitchen. She seemed to be worried about what happened to Xuanyuan Xiahui.
After seeing that her brother was safe, she sighed in relief. However, when she saw that his forehead was full of sweat, she gasped and asked, \”Brother, are you okay?\”
Xuanyuan Xiahui opened his eyes, giving Xuanyuan Xuan a warm look as he flung his arm and exhaled.
\”Silly girl. What could happen to your brother?\”
\”Thank goodness… Don't worry, Brother. I know it's hard for a special grade chef to become an Immortal Chef. Just take your time, okay? You will definitely become one,\” Xuanyuan Xuan said.
Xuanyuan Xiahui looked at his younger sister speaking clearly and logically. He narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin as he said, \”Take your time, huh? Tomorrow… we'll go to the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion. I'll take the Immortal Chef test…\”
Xuanyuan Xuan was about to say more, but after hearing Xuanyuan Xiahui, the words in her mouth froze. With her mouth hanging open, she stared at Xuanyuan Xiahui with shock-filled eyes.
For the rest of the day, Xuanyuan Xuan didn't speak a single word. Afterwards, when the initial shock wore off, this girl became very excited, so much so that she wanted to jump off the ground.
\”Brother, are you sure? You've broken through?!\”
\”Oh… there's no breakthrough, but I do think I've reached a certain point.\”
Xuanyuan Xiahui narrowed his eyes. He may be calm on the outside, but deep down, he was overwhelmed with emotions.
He had finally reached the barrier of becoming an Immortal Chef. This time, he would shock the entire Immortal City!
After all, the Immortal City hadn't had a new Immortal Chef for a long time.
...
When the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion closed, Bu Fang had also finished his business.
He also told the diners that this is the stall's last day and explained the reason for doing so.
After hearing Bu Fang's explanation, the diners were all very happy. Was Owner Bu planning to open a restaurant?
In that case, there was no need for them to be scared that they won't get to eat delicious food on the street.
However, this Owner Bu was very confident. If he wanted to open a restaurant in the Immortal City, he must pass the special grade chef test first. Could Owner Bu do it and become a special grade chef?
Although the hotpot and Spicy Blood Lobster were excellent food, when it comes to the difficulty of the dishes, they couldn't compare to the ones cooked by special grade chefs.
Regarding this matter, Bu Fang had not explained anything. In fact, he didn't need to explain as he was very confident with his cooking skills.
Perhaps… he might even apply for the Immortal Chef test while he's at it.
After packing up and closing the stall, Bu Fang took Nethery and Nether King Er Ha back to the inn.
Lord Dog was lying on the floor, snoring peacefully as though sleeping forever was still not enough.
Flowery, the little girl, was lying beside Lord Dog, holding his tail as she slept.
The Black Dragon King was sitting on a chair in the distance. Sometimes, he would look at Flowery, and he couldn't help thinking that his dear daughter was actually dependent on a dog. Such thoughts made his heart ache, and it felt like he had a hard time breathing.
When Bu Fang came back, Flowery immediately woke up. She knew that Bu Fang's return meant that there would be delicious food.
Yesterday's hotpot had not satisfied her, and she actually wanted more. Today, she didn't know what delicious dish Bu Fang would cook...
Of course, Bu Fang lived up to the expectations of everyone. As soon as he came back, he started to get busy with cooking.
Soon, night fell.
From the inn's window, hot steam and smoke wafted out, along with a strong aroma…
Although he would take the special grade chef test tomorrow, Bu Fang was not concerned and worried.
After a full meal, Bu Fang lay down on the bed to sleep.
In the room, it was very quiet…
…
The next day, the sun shone brightly as Bu Fang got out of the bed.
After stretching, he made Egg Fried Rice to fill his stomach, made Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs for Lord Dog, then packed his things and went out.
Yesterday, he had accepted Mu Liuer's invitation to go to the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion and take the special grade chef test today.
There were many special grade chefs in the Immortal City. In contrast, Immortal Chefs were rare.
If one passed the special grade chef test, they could open a restaurant in the outer circle. After that, if they were to take and pass the Immortal Chef test, they could open a restaurant in the inner circle.
The latter, for chefs and aspiring chefs, was the supreme glory. Becoming an Immortal Chef was something that many were dreaming of.
Of course, Bu Fang didn't think too much about it. His priority at the moment was to take the special grade test so he could open a new branch.
Walking on the long street, Bu Fang went straight toward the location of the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion. He passed by the spot where he opened a stall for a few days and saw many people along the way, who were all familiar with him and greeted him.
