Chapter 158

The Rainbow-colored Water Dumpling was originally a mission reward from the system . Therefore, it was impossible for the recipe to use ordinary ingredients . Bu Fang only chose to use ordinary fruits and vegetables during the Hundred Family Banquet in order to ensure that the dish could be eaten by all of the guests . However, now that the dish would be sold in the store, he was naturally going to use much more valuable ingredients .

When Bu Fang brought out the steaming bowl of Rainbow-colored Water Dumplings from the kitchen, the aroma wafting in the air was completely different from the dumplings made during the Hundred Family Banquet . The aroma of these Rainbow-colored Water Dumplings that used ingredients with spirit energy was fully spreading throughout the room .

"Gulp!" Fatty Jin was almost drooling as he stared at the bowl of Rainbow-colored Water Dumplings in Bu Fang's hands . The rich aroma emanating from it was simply too appetizing .

"Here's your Rainbow-colored Water Dumplings, please enjoy your meal," Bu Fang said as he placed the bowl of dumplings in front of Fatty Jin .

Fatty Jin's eyes were immediately attracted by the Rainbow-colored Water Dumplings . They were completely different from the Rainbow-colored Crescent Moon Dumplings made during the Hundred Family Banquet . The actual version of the dumplings were miles ahead in terms of color, fragrance, and appearance .

There seemed to be a light constantly changing on those white dumplings . It was sometimes bright red and other times emerald green… The switching between the colors of a rainbow was bewitchingly beautiful .

A cloud of fragrance was also hovering above the soup . It was simmered with the meat of a spirit beast and was filled with spirit energy . With a single sniff, a burst of energy instantly coursed through Fatty Jin's entire body and made him feel extremely comfortable .

"The Rainbow-colored Crescent Moon Dumplings were unable to fully manifest the colors of a rainbow because of the ingredients . At that time, I used a trick to trap the aroma and only managed to manifest the colors of a rainbow with the help of true energy . The actual version of the dumplings does not require special preparations like that . The ingredients alone would directly manifest the colors of a rainbow," Bu Fang explained .

Fatty Jin eagerly picked up a Rainbow-colored Water Dumpling with his chopsticks and took a bite . He suddenly felt as if he was standing underneath a waterfall . His entire body felt extremely comfortable as the falling water struck him .

He wanted to open his mouth and shout out loud . However, the moment he opened his mouth, his eyes widened because his mouth was instantly clogged up by the aroma .

Almost all of the flesh on Fatty Jin's face was trembling . His eyes were narrowed and his face was filled with pleasure . Delicious… It was simply too delicious .

A faint smile appeared on Bu Fang's lips as he glanced at Fatty Jin, who was revelling in the delicious flavors of the Rainbow-Colored Water Dumplings . Afterward, he pulled back a chair and sat down .

He subconsciously turned his head and looked toward the ocher-colored flowerpot sitting in the corner . He wondered how the seed was doing ever since he planted it yesterday .

Suddenly, his eyes widened as if he just discovered a new continent . A seedling throbbing with vitality was actually emerging from the ice-cold soil .

"It… germinated?" Bu Fang's face was filled with surprise . The speed of its growth was way too fast… Not even half a day had passed since he planted the seed .

However, Bu Fang quickly calmed down and walked toward the flowerpot . He squatted down next to it and carefully observed the seedling emerging from the soil .

The seedling was bright green in color and its surface was covered with complicated veined patterns . They looked like a blur in his eyes . Although he could not understand them, he was still amazed .

He leaned forward and sniffed the seedling but he could not smell a thing . Bu Fang was rather perplexed as he stood up . Nonetheless, he was too lazy to bother with the seedling any longer . With the help of the flowerpot, the seed should grow into a tall tree soon enough .

Ouyang Xiaoyi skipped into the store and cheerfully greeted Bu Fang . The latter nodded in response and continued to watch the falling snowflake outside while curled up on a chair .

From a distance, the sound of voices and feminine laughter came from the alleyway as several figures slowly approached .

Bu Fang puzzledly looked in the direction of the sounds and saw several slender and graceful women heading toward the store . Furthermore, there were people that he recognized in their midst .

"Juan'Er, I heard Owner Bu obtained first place in this year's Hundred Family Banquet . I'll bring you to eat something delicious today," Luo Sanniang said in a rambunctious manner . She was wearing a tight-fitting robe with slits on the sides of the lower part that revealed her fair and slender legs . She did not seem to feel cold despite the freezing weather .

There were a few other elegantly dressed women walking next to Luo Sanniang . One of them was a young-looking woman in a thick woolen clothing . Her nose was slightly red from the cold air and she was huffing out clouds of white breath as she blindly followed after Luo Sanniang .

Yang Chen was excitedly leading the way in front of the group while wearing red festive clothing .

"My dear sisters-in-law, you definitely won't be disappointed by Owner Bu's culinary skill," the young Marquis confidently said . As someone who had personally tasted Bu Fang's dishes before, he was naturally aware of their deliciousness .

The group arrived in front of the store and saw the big black dog lying on the ground as well as Bu Fang who was curled up on a chair… Both of them had the same slothful appearance . It was no surprise considering that they were from the same store .

"What an adorable doggy!" the young-looking woman in the thick woolen clothing suddenly cried out in joy when she spotted the big black dog soundly sleeping in front of the store . She then ran forward and petted Blacky's head with her delicate, fair hand .

Blacky was rather dumbfounded as it looked at the young lady whose eyes were filled with affection . This young lady was only a mere third grade Battle-Maniac . The Lord Dog was capable of killing her even with a sneeze . However, with the Lord Dog's identity, what was the point of getting back at a little girl?

Therefore, the Lord Dog changed its sleeping position and went back to sleep .

"This doggy… is really adorable . " Juan'Er's eyes were shining as she rubbed Blacky's nice and warm head with both of her hands while giggling .

Bu Fang blinked in surprise as he looked at the lazy dog who was too lazy to even respond . He mockingly thought, "This lazy dog… If the one vigorously rubbing its head was a man, it would've already greeted him with its paws . " Bu Fang was well aware of the formidableness of this lazy dog's paws .

"You over there… come into the store if you're going to order something . Teasing that dog is prohibited," Bu Fang said as he stood up . Even though he did not know whether the lazy dog would get angry, he thought it was better to draw this woman away .

Luo Sanniang gave that black dog a fearful glance . When she saw that Juan'Er was actually rubbing its head, her heart almost jumped out in terror . The naive Juan'Er might not know this dog's identity, but how could she not know? This dog… was the widely rumored supreme beast!

It was a supreme beast that could kill Juan'Er thousands of times with a single sneeze!

Luo Sanniang was dumbfounded . Should she think of her as innocent or just really bold… When she saw that Blacky did not seem to intend on getting even with Juan'Er, she breathed out a sigh of relief inwardly and then went into the store while dragging along the reluctant Juan'Er .

The interior of the store was very warm and cozy . The group of women felt as if they had just stepped into a spring-like zone . The aroma of the dishes wafting in the air was especially mesmerizing .

The young Marquis excitedly stopped in front of Bu Fang . He patted his own chest and said, "Owner Bu, these are my sisters-in-law . I am treating them today, so just bring out whatever is delicious!"

Bu Fang expressionlessly glanced at Yang Chen and his mouth widened into a smile as he gave the women behind him a glance .

"All of the dishes here are delicious, so just order whatever you want to eat," Bu Fang mildly replied .

His reply resulted in a rather embarrassed expression on Yang Chen's face . Every single dish in Owner Bu's store was excellent . If he ordered every dish… Yang Chen gave his money pouch a little squeeze and awkwardly sniffed .

"I think I'll just stop showing off…" Yang Chen thought .

Luo Sanniang put her hands at her waist and laughed . Juan'Er and the others were also chuckling while covering their mouths with their hands .

Thereafter, everyone turned to look at the menu behind them and froze momentarily before they started chattering with each other .
