“The situation is so complicated right now… Is it appropriate for us to drink?” Bu Fang glanced at the wine cup, then looked up across the table at Lord Bird, whose face was obscured by the fog. Even with his current strength, he could not see through the fog, which showed that Lord Bird’s strength must be stronger than his.
The cup looked ordinary, not made of some precious stone. In fact, drinking was a simple thing and did not need fancy vessels. Some people liked to use porcelain cups, some glass cups, and some even liked to use bowls. It was all about personal preference.
While others were fighting desperately for treasures, Bu Fang was drinking with a guy whose face was concealed. He thought it was not right and told himself that if the wine was awful, he would definitely turn and leave.
“Drink it… This is an extremely rare wine,” Lord Bird said, smiling. “Oh… How could we not have a dish to go with the wine? Why don’t you cook one for us?” he asked, looking at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang narrowed his eyes slightly. ‘Drinking and eating in such a strange environment… This Lord Bird is a strange man,’ he thought to himself. Despite what was in his mind, he took out the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. Clearly, he also agreed with Lord Bird’s suggestion. Since there was wine, naturally there must be a dish to go with it, and Bu Fang knew exactly what he was going to prepare.
Lord Bird was not in a hurry to drink now. Instead, he looked at Bu Fang with interest, wondering what dish he would cook. ‘The average dishes do not go well with this wine…’ he thought, twitching the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps he was the only person in the whole Chaotic Universe who knew about this wine. It had no name, but it could not be… underestimated. The wine jar was covered with the marks of age, and with every shake, it made the rumbling sound of waves pounding on shores. The wine itself was full of sediment; not only the sediment of the bouquet but also the sediment of age.
The jar of wine had been buried since ancient times, so it was absolutely extraordinary and full of history. Therefore, it was not an ordinary jar of wine, though it looked like one—the two ancient Heavengods would not have chosen to die here if it were indeed ordinary.
Lord Bird straightened his back slightly, squinting at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang was going to make a side dish. Although the environment and atmosphere were not suitable for cooking at the moment, sometimes cooking depended on the mood. He always believed that enjoying good wine without delicious dishes to go with it was an insult to the wine itself.
Lord Bird had told him that it was good wine. Though he had not yet tasted it, his years of experience in brewing wine told him at once that it was indeed extraordinary. It was a fine wine that had already restrained all its flashy features.
Pop.
Bu Fang went into the Heaven and Earth Farmland. When he came back out, he was carrying two large ears. He scraped the dragon scales off them, washed them clean, then took out the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and began processing them.
These were the Thunder Dragon’s ears. As a top-grade Blood Beast King, an existence equivalent to a top-grade God King, the Thunder Dragon was one of the best food ingredients. Bu Fang had finished the dragon legs, but there was still plenty of dragon meat in the farmland.
“Dragon ears?” Lord Bird paused, and then his interest was further aroused. A delicious side dish would sublimate the fine wine. He hoped that Bu Fang could make a dish that would make him feel indulged.
The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun in Bu Fang’s hand. His knife skill had already reached an astounding level, so cutting a pair of dragon ears was an easy job to him. A few moments later, he had cut them into slices and placed them on the stove.
Then, he poured the Spring of Life into the wok. The dragon ears were added when the water came to a boil, cooked for several minutes, then taken out to be further processed. Bu Fang cooked with such smooth movements that it looked as if he was dancing.
Steam rose from the dragon ears, accompanied by a meaty aroma. Though they were only boiled with plain water, they already gave off a delicious fragrance. He scooped them out, placed them into a huge blue-and-white porcelain bowl, and added ice cubes to reduce the temperature.
While waiting, he began to process other ingredients. He produced the spirit fruits and spirit vegetables he had harvested from the farmland and cut them into slices, smashed some purple garlic, and mixed them all into the bowl. Next, he sprinkled some spices and added some sauce, scooped out the dragon ears, poured them into the bowl as well, and began stirring.
He stirred extremely fast, so much so that the dish in the bowl was being tossed as if he was tossing a wok. After receiving the inheritance, Bu Fang’s wok tossing skill had already reached a very skillful level. In a short time, he had thoroughly mixed the sauce, the seasoning, and the ingredients, making all the flavor seep into the dragon ears.
‘He’s making a cold dish?’ Lord Bird had a thoughtful look on his face. A cold dish indeed went well with wine, so he was not too surprised that Bu Fang had chosen to make one.
Bu Fang poured the dish from the bowl into a blue-and-white porcelain plate. Sauce flowed and glinted beautifully. “The dish, emerald glaze mixed with dragon ears, is ready.” He put away the Black Turtle Constellation Wok and the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, then placed the dish on the table.
Around them, many God Kings were fighting over the Heavengod’s bones. Some of them looked like madmen as if their divine sense had been influenced—their eyes were bloodshot as they bit anyone they saw like mad dogs. The atmosphere was grim. However, the atmosphere around Bu Fang and Lord Bird was calm and a little bit strange.
“You are using the dragon ears as pig ears… Interesting.” Lord Bird smiled. He gave Bu Fang a deep look, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and pointed them on the table. Then, he reached them into the plate, picked up some dragon ear slices, and put them in his mouth.
The dragon ears had been cooled by ice cubes, so they were very springy. Also, they were naturally chewy since they contained cartilages, so they were refreshing to eat.
“Oh? The dragon ears are evenly sliced, and the sauce is also perfect… Not bad!” Lord Bird’s face was obscured by the fog and could not be clearly seen. However, he ate happily and chewed noisily.
Bu Fang did not make it a spicy dish because their main purpose was to taste the wine, so he did not want to let the spiciness affect the wine’s taste. He also reached out his chopsticks, picked up some dragon ear slices mixed with spirit fruit slices, and then shoved them into his mouth.
