Chapter 1738 - : Monkey Brain Wrapped in Pearl! (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bu Fang did not expect that Marquis Lang Gu would want to eat a monkey brain and also ask him not to kill a monkey to get the brain.
‘Is he trying to give me a hard time now?’
Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. However, since Marquis Lang Gu was the first customer of the Cooking God Little Kitchen, he thought he would fulfill the request.
He glanced deeply at the marquis, who was sitting in an ostentatious manner. ‘This fellow looks confident. Perhaps he’s feeling a sense of accomplishment, thinking that he had given me a hard time. After all, he was defeated by me in the last battle when I was possessed by Qilin…’
Bu Fang shrugged, unimpressed. “Please wait for a moment,” he said. After that, he turned and walked into the kitchen as Xiao Ai watched in astonishment.
‘Could he really come out with a… monkey brain?’ Xiao Ai thought Marquis Lang Gu was definitely trying to make it difficult for Bu Fang. His true form, after all, was an ape. He must have hated those who ate or cooked monkey brains. Yet, he still asked Bu Fang to cook one for him. There must be a reason.
‘If he’s not allowed to kill a monkey… Where is he going to get a monkey brain? Is he going to carve it out with some other ingredients? Impossible… A patchwork thing like that cannot perfectly interpret the taste of a monkey brain…’ Xiao Ai thought to herself.
‘Marquis Lang Gu may not have eaten many different cuisines before, but he’s certainly able to distinguish the difference in taste between the two…’ Her eyes rolled as she watched Bu Fang step into the kitchen.
“Your Excellency, do you think Owner Bu can succeed? This is such a tricky challenge…” Xiao Ai leaned over to Nethery and asked curiously.
“Tricky?” Nethery shook her head. “It may not be tricky at all for Bu Fang. When it comes to cooking, no problem is too difficult for him.” She smiled a beautiful, charming smile.
That gave Xiao Ai pause. ‘Her Excellency has so much faith in Owner Bu!’
Marquis Lang Gu could not sit still in the chair. He got up, walked around, and studied the restaurant. No one had ever dared to open a restaurant in District A before, so he was very interested in it more than the food. For him, cuisines had no attraction.
The Path-Understanding Tree was a tree that grew with Bu Fang. It had now grown into a supreme tree of the Path with an extremely profound essence of the Path. Lying under it, Foxy suddenly lifted her head. When she saw Marquis Lang Gu, she narrowed her eyes.
“Oh, what a cute little fox… You are that little fox who shoots meatballs from the mouth, aren’t you? This is so interesting! The universes are truly full of possibilities… A fox who shoots meatballs! Who would have thought of that?”
Marquis Lang Gu felt his affection was about to overflow. He reached out a hand to touch Foxy’s head, but the little fox moved away from him. Instead of giving up, he pulled out the pellet drum and shook it before Foxy, making the beads knock at the drum.
Foxy rolled her eyes and wagged her tails. At this moment, Shrimpy bolted out of the kitchen and stood at Foxy’s side, spitting bubbles while staring at Marquis Lang Gu with its big eyes.
The marquis’ interest was aroused. He kept shaking the rattle and played a rhythmical tune with it.
…
In the kitchen, Bu Fang rolled up his sleeves. This was his first performance in Void City, so he had to keep up his spirits.
The Queen of Curses hated chefs. However, she did not show up to stop him when he opened a restaurant in District A. Clearly, she had left some space for him, and that gave him more reason to make the restaurant a success.
His first customer had ordered a monkey brain, but also mentioned that he could not kill a monkey. Since he could not cook a real monkey brain, he would have to make a fake one.
Bu Fang touched his chin and pondered for a while, considering the cooking method of the dish. In fact, he already had a rough idea.
With a thought in his mind, his consciousness went into the Heaven and Earth Farmland, found Niu Hansan, and asked the latter for some beans.
These were not ordinary beans. They were the product of Niu Hansan’s hybridization research and were extremely priceless. Just one of these beans was enough to raise a dead man and even lengthen an individual’s life. It was not exaggerating to say that they were divine herbs.
To Bu Fang, however, the beans tasted delicious, and that was enough.
In the beginning, Niu Hansan refused to give Bu Fang the beans. After all, they were not easy to produce. There were simply too many steps, and the process was complicated.
But in the end, he handed over ten beans under Bu Fang’s piercing gaze. It made him shudder with pain, and he kept puffing and huffing. However, his sour mood soon turned happy after Bu Fang promised to cook a delicious dish for him.
Bu Fang grabbed the beans out of the bag. They were amber in color, translucent, and glittering brilliantly. There seemed to be a tremendous amount of energy glowing in them as well.
There was a stone mill in the farmland. Made by Bu Fang with a star core, it could be considered a magic treasure. Of course, it was nowhere near as good as the God of Cooking Sets.
He placed the beans into the stone mill. After a series of steps, he made tofu. The ten beans had turned into a large piece of tofu. It was square and extremely soft, wobbling at the lightest touch.
Bu Fang never tasted a monkey brain before. Of course, he did not like this kind of food as well. However, he believed that Marquis Lang Gu had never eaten it either. Therefore, he would make the dish according to his own understanding.
He held the tofu, which was as glittering and translucent as white jade, in one palm, then crushed it and put it into a porcelain bowl. The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife was spinning in his hand when he took out a tender blood lobster. He shredded the meat and put it into the bowl, together with many other strange seasonings.
After that, he produced a spirit beast egg, threw away the yolk, and poured the egg white into the bowl. He began to stir. The power of the Law and Chaotic Energy all flowed into the bowl, mixing the energies in it.
