Chapter 241: Bu Fang’s Culinary Instructions

Inside Owner Bu's kitchen, Yu Fu blankly opened her cherry mouth wide and her face was filled with astonishment .

It was rumored that Owner Bu's kitchen had always been a mysterious zone . Up until that day, no one had managed to enter it . She had never expected that today she would unexpectedly be able to have a chance to step into Owner Bu's small store… This was simply too exciting!

Yu Fu swayed her snake tail and quickly followed suit as she walked behind Bu Fang .

Passing through the kitchen entrance, the atmosphere of the place had somewhat changed . Within the small store, it there was a kind of comfortable vibe, making a person feel insipidly intoxicated . However, the kitchen was very eye-catching with a somewhat professional vibe . The moment she entered, she was confronted with the plump machinery puppet . That puppet's red eyes flickered as it swept around her body once, causing her whole body hair to get erected .

This puppet was the intimidating puppet her dad had mentioned? It seemed like it was not as fierce-looking as those people had said . Its tummy was even very pudgy, making it look quite cute .

Bu Fang walked to the front and patted on Whitey tummy as he introduced it to Yu Fu, who was behind him: "This is Whitey . It is my mechanical assistant . You can just see it as my puppet helper . After we finish cooking our dishes, the remaining ingredients will be recycled by Whitey . "

Yu Fu immediately stood upright and put her hands together . She bowed to Whitey as she greeted the puppet .

Whitey mechanical eyes flickered . It raised its leaf-like hand and scratched its bald circular head .

Bu Fang led Yu Fu past Whitey and came to the kitchen stove area . This kitchen stove was made using exquisite materials that looked like a kind of ceramic tile but was a lot more glossier than such .

On top of the kitchen stove, there were all sorts of kitchen equipments arranged there . Everything that should be there actually was, making the facilities look very complete . The chopping board was manufactured using an extraordinary log . It was emitting a faint fragrance . Yu Fu widened her eyes as she curiously looked at everything in front of her .

The decoration in the kitchen was totally different from the rest of the small store . The kitchen was very classy . On the walls, there was not a single unnecessary stuff compared to the small store . The kitchen surroundings were all filled with cupboards, all made using wood with a mixture of some material that Yu Fu how no knowledge about .

The material was very cold when she got in contact with it . Furthermore, the interior would flicker with radiance .

"This is a refrigerator . It can store food inside and is used to maintain the freshness of the ingredients . " Bu Fang introduced it nonchalantly . He opened up the refrigerator door . Immediately, a breath of cold air soared out from within, causing Yu Fu to shiver .

"This is an oven . A lot of ingredients can be baked or roasted . With this we are able to produce lots of delicacies . "

Bu Fang opened up the oven . Its interior was untainted by even a speck of dust and a breath of cold-air spread out from within .

Lampblack machine, grindstone, microwave oven and etc… All these apparel were things Yu Fu had never heard or seen before . Although she was not able to understand them, she felt that all of this was very professional .

This was her first time realizing that to master culinary skills was not as simple as she had imagined . It turned out that there were actually so many things that she needed to research on .

"This is a kitchen knife stand . On it, there are all sorts of different vegetable knives . Find one that you feel the most comfortable with when you hold it . " Bu Fang pointed at the kitchen knife stand that was on top of the kitchen stove .

Yu Fu brought forth her curiosity and measured the stand . She saw a pitch-black and incomparably thick huge kitchen knife . She was immediately amazed by it .

"This . . Is this also a kitchen knife? Why is it so big, so heavy?"

The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up, and he held onto that kitchen knife as he lifted it up effortlessly .

This kitchen knife was the uniquely heavy knife he had used everyday to train his knife work . It was impossible for an ordinary person to brandish it as they wished .

Yu Fu tried to lift it . After great effort, her wrist started to ache, but even then she was still unable to lift the kitchen knife up .

"This is the kitchen knife I use to train my knife work and for carving purposes . You should change to another one," Bu Fang said .

Yu Fu glimpsed at Bu Fang curiously, "Is there even a need for practise for someone as skilled as Owner Bu?"

"There is no end to one's culinary skills . If you wish to become an outstanding chef, daily practise is essential . Only by doing so would your heart be immersed into your culinary skill so as to experience all the changes in the dishes you make . Since you want to become my cooking apprentice, you must also do the same knife work and carving training I do everyday," Bu Fang said seriously .

His culinary skills were indeed very good, but he was very clear in his heart that without his daily practice, they would not have improved so quickly .

Yu Fu sighed . Afterwards, she held onto all the different kind of kitchen knives . Ultimately, she chose a kitchen knife that was around the size of Bu Fang's palm . Its weight was reasonable and it was very suitable for Yu Fu .

Bu Fang nodded his head and took out a few Thunderstorm Pigeon eggs from the cupboard . This was supplied by the system and was specially used to make the Egg-Fried Rice .

"I will first teach you how to recognize the ingredients . This is a third grade spirit beast's egg, the Thunderstorm Pigeon's egg . There are lots of true energy hidden inside it," Bu Fang said . He took out a porcelain bowl and gently knocked the egg against it, then dropped the egg yolk and egg white into the porcelain bowl . Within the egg yolk, there were faint thunder arcs zittering .

"If you wish to cook a proper Egg-Fried Rice, it is very important to be able to control your true energy well . You must be able to control the true energy in the ingredients and not let it leak out . This is the crux of guaranteeing the dishes' taste . "

Bu Fang congealed true energy and changed it into a pair of chopsticks as he stirred the egg gently .

"Are you aware of how to control the true energy of the ingredient?" Bu Fang looked at Yu Fu seriously .

Yu Fu shook her head blankly . How could she possibly know of such profound stuff?

"Rhythm, and also use your heart to feel it . True energy is a kind of fluctuation . Once you feel the fluctuation within, try to maintain the stability of the fluctuation when you are cooking it . This way, you would not damage the composition of the true energy andallow it to leak out," Bu Fang explained . Thereafter, his hands started to tremble very quickly as he seasoned out the Thunderstorm Pigeon egg .

Bu Fang took out his true energy chopsticks once again as he turned the egg liquid into a single thread by pulling it .

"Bang!" Bu Fang's true energy vaporized . Thereafter, he squatted down and took out the pearl rice filled with true energy from the bottom cupboard . After washing it, he placed it into the steamer basket and waited for it to be cooked .

Yu Fu stood behind Bu Fang obediently and looked at Bu Fang's movements meticulously .

"You have to remember the location I took out the ingredients from . In the future, all the ingredients are to be taken from there . You must remember them well," Bu Fang ignited the stove and said to Yu Fu .

Yu Fu heart shivered as she nodded her head seriously . Her face was filled with a lovable child-like expression .

Sizzle~!

The moment the oil grease spread out, Bu Fang extracted out the moist and plump pearl rice from the steamer basket and then threw it into the pan . He lifted the pan and stir-fried it, causing the flames to soar up . Yu Fu, who was standing behind him, was frightened to the point of having her snake tail sway about .

*Clang clang clang!*

Rich rice fragrance was emitted out while stir-frying a pan of pearl rice . It twined on the tip of Yu Fu's nose almost causing her to lose control as she breathed in a mouthful of air .

"The most important thing you have to pay attention to when cooking the Egg-Fried Rice is the heat intensity . If you are able to grasp the heat intensity well, your Egg-Fried Rice can only be counted as half-complete . " Bu Fang continued to provide guidance . His words were not plenty, but during crucial moments he would open his mouth to remind Yu Fu of something .

Yu Fu was constantly nodding her head behind him . She tried to remember all the details diligently .

The moment the egg liquid was poured into the pan, the egg fragrance soared out . It was uncomparably rich, making one feel that their body had been wrapped up by the dense egg fragrance, as if they had fallen into an ocean of Egg-Fried Rice .

The rice fragrance blended together with the egg aroma as it seduced one's desire for good food . This would cause one to subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva .

Bu Fang was standing perfectly straight as he held onto the pan handle . He stir-fried it very quickly and his actions were very skilled . It appeared very natural, as if he was drawing a beautiful drawing and was extraordinarily pleasing .

Yu Fu could not help but to be somewhat infatuated by it .

From bowl to pan to fire, it merely took him a few breaths of time before he poured the finished Egg-Fried Rice into the blue and white porcelain bowl . The slightly sticky egg liquid wrapped around the pearl rice, giving it a glossy coating and as the hot steam rose up, the delicious mixture emitted a rich eggy fragrance .

Yu Fu stuck out her small and exquisite tongue as she licked her soft and delicate red lips . Deep in her heart, she was extremely astonished .

Maybe she was the first person who had seen how Bu Fang cooked a bowl of Egg-Fried Rice . It turned out that the Egg-Fried Rice which seemed to emit rays of brilliant light was cooked this way .

"Have you memorized the steps? As my apprentice, the requirement for you is very high . You can finish this bowl of Egg-Fried Rice first . Only by finishing it will you have the energy to work," Bu Fang used a towel to wipe the water droplets on his hand and said to Yu Fu .

"After your meal, I will prepare for you three portions of the ingredients for the dish . You will be using that for practice . After using the three portions, I hope that your comprehension toward the Egg-Fried Rice would advance a step . In the future, you must remember that when you cook the Egg-Fried Rice, it will be brought to the store to be sold at one crystal . Each time, I want you to ask yourself if your dish is truly worth that crystal . "

Bu Fang poured a glass of warm water and drank a mouthful . He looked at Yu Fu unenthusiastically . Subsequently, he turned around and left the kitchen . Walking to the doorway of the kitchen, he turned around and said: "Your room is the guest room on the second floor . After you have finished practicing, you can go to the guest room to have a rest . "

After he finished speaking, he went up and returned back to his own room . He started preparing for his rest . His teaching… was just so simple and rough . As for how much she had comprehended, it would have to depend on Yu Fu herself .

Yu Fu stood blankly inside the kitchen and looked at the steaming hot Egg-Fried Rice which was still giving off that a decadent fragrance . Her eyes immediately showed hints of unswerving determination .

She took the blue and white porcelain spoon and scooped up a spoon of Egg-Fried Rice and placed it into her mouth . With each bite, Yu Fu made sure to savor every grain of rice in order to learn about Owner Bu's Egg-Fried Rice .
