Chapter 285

The innocent young man grabbed the ceramic bowl and finished yet another bowl of Sour Spicy Soup . The soup was so hot that his lips were stained red . he panted repeatedly and sweat formed on the tip of his nose .

This Sour Spicy Soup was too delicious . It was hard to imagine that it was made from such simple ingredients .

If the ingredients contained spirit energy, the innocent young man could still understand . However… these were just normal everyday ingredients; they did not contain any spirit energy .

The food made with this kind of ingredient actually tasted better than those that contained spirit energy . This was abnormal and beyond what the innocent young man could comprehend .

At that moment, Wei Dafu did not look too good . This was because Bu Fang's mocking look had made him turn red . He felt very embarrassed . It was like a slap on his face when a newbie challenged his authority in the Cooks' Army Unit .

This was unforgivable . That's like challenging a tiger in its den—it was seeking death!

Although… the dish he made was extremely tasty, he did not have any right to be so arrogant . No matter how delectable it was, this dish was still made from basic ingredients .

"I admit… your dish is delicious, but please do not think that a tasty dish would give you the right to be presumptuous . You need to realize… we are now at the Cooks' Army Unit . We face the most undesirable cooking environment but we must still provide the soldiers with a satisfying meal, a meal that allows the soldiers to stay motivated!" said Wei Dafu with a straight face .

His voice was not loud but very authoritative . This made everyone who had just tasted Bu Fang's soup to stop all of their actions and stare at both of them without daring to make any noise .

Many of them were very impressed by Bu Fang because he was the first ever newcomer to cook a dish that Wei's foul mouth could not criticize . However, they also realized that Bu Fang will not have such an easy time from today on . After all, this was the Cooks' Army Unit, not a normal kitchen .

"Hmmm . . . you cook very well, huh? That's great… I shall not make it hard for you . After all, every talent in the Cooks' Army Unit is a treasure . I give you permission to cook . However, since you are able to bring the best out of ordinary ingredients, you shall be in charge of cooking all ordinary ingredients," Wei Dafu squinted his eyes and exclaimed .

The surrounding people were all stunned and looked at Bu Fang . They felt sorry for him . That innocent young man also pitied Bu Fang .

"Our Cooks' Army Unit deals mainly with spirit energy ingredients . No matter how tasty your dish that was made from ordinary ingredient is… the soldiers will not eat them . This newcomer . . . what a pity . "

Many felt sorry for him and sighed .

They knew clearly in their hearts that Bu Fang knew how to cook with spirit energy ingredients . He might even be able to create even more delicious dishes with spirit energy ingredients . After all, such ingredients had much better texture than ordinary ones .

Upon hearing what Wei Dafu said, Bu Fang frowned uncontrollably . He could only cook ordinary ingredients? As he looked at that proud and smirking Wei Dafu, Bu Fang nodded his head slightly . He actually agreed .

Wei Dafu was astonished . He folded his arms, waiting for Bu Fang to bootlick him . After all, if he only cooked ordinary ingredient in the Cooks' Army Unit, it was the same as being sidelined .

"Hmmm! Arrogant young fellow, know your limit, young man! Let's wait till your basic dish gets neglected, then you will come over to ask for my forgiveness… . At the time, I might not even forgive you!"

Wei Dafu thought in his mind .

"Long Cai, bring this kid to collect the steel pot, then bring him to the unit that he belongs to . Have Xiao Huang who's in charge of cooking of basic ingredients to cook spirit energy ingredients instead," Wei Dafu stared at Bu Fang expressionlessly . He then looked at the innocent young man, instructed him, and left for his tent with his steel ladle in hand .

Long Cai looked on as Wei Dafu walked away . He put down the ceramic bowl as he stuck out his tongue .

"Please follow me," Long Cai exclaimed as he started to walk off . "I am Long Cai, the youngest member of the Cooks' Army Unit . What's your name? The Sour Spicy Soup you made just now tasted superb… I've never tasted a basic dish that's so delicious . "

Long Cai introduced himself to Bu Fang and stared at him with glittering eyes .

"I am Bu Fang," he nodded, indicating the end of his introduction .

It was normal for his dish to be tasty, so Bu Fang was not particularly shocked by Long Cai's words . Those who tasted his dish before were all left in a state of astonishment, so he was already used to it .

"Eh… Although you have been deployed in the unit that is in charge of ordinary dishes, do not be disappointed . Uncle Wei's personality is like that . Give him some time to think it through . I'm sure he will swap you back soon . After all, your culinary skills are top notch . . . you are definitely one of the top five chefs in the unit!" Long Cai joked, trying to lighten the mood in this awkward atmosphere .

"Okay . "

Bu Fang followed Long Cai with a poker face . He was not bothered by the feelings of Wei Dafu . To him, Wei Dafu was nothing .

Be it culinary skills or capabilities… Bu Fang was way better in both aspects .

However, Bu Fang was still there to train himself . It would be better to keep a low profile . Once he completed the mission and received the reward, he would leave .

"Yes . . . this is the unit that you belong to . It's all ordinary ingredient in there . Every time the Cooks' Army Unit cooks, you must prepare an ordinary dish . That's the rule," Long Cai said as he pointed at an old and damaged tent that was quite a distance away from them .

Bu Fang frowned but soon relaxed . He accepted it with a nod of his head and walked toward the tent .

"Please hold on . I'll pass you the equipment . " Long Cai shouted at Bu Fang, who was about to walk off .

He went into one of the tents beside him and quickly sprinted out . He came out holding a big black pot . Inside the pot was a kitchen knife with a wooden handle and a steel ladle .

"This is your future equipment in the Cooks' Army Unit . Please do not spoil it or you will have to apply for a new one, which will be very troublesome . You will also be reprimanded by Uncle Wei," Long Cai cautioned him .

However, Bu Fang held the seemingly heavy black pot and nodded, "I understand . "

"Hehe, I picked a good pot for you . The quality is pretty good . Don't worry too much, I hope you will leave this basic ingredient unit soon . At that time, I must have a good taste of the spirit energy delicacies that you make!" Long Cai smiled foolishly while touching his head .

Bu Fang raised his eyebrows, looked at this weird fellow, smirked, and left for the tent without saying a word .

Long Cai did not stop Bu Fang this time . He stared at Bu Fang's back, sighed, and left .

Although he said that there was a chance that Bu Fang could return to the unit where spirit energy ingredients were used, according to Uncle Wei's temperament, Bu Fang might have to spend at least a year or so before he would have a chance to leave .

Bu Fang naturally had no idea what Long Cai was thinking as he stepped into the tent . The tent was filled with many ingredients . He could smell a musty, light smell of vegetables .

There were many ingredients in the tent . There was meat and vegetable, not lacking in any way . But just as Long Cai mentioned, the ingredients here . . . were all ordinary ingredients .

Bu Fang calmly settled down in this tent and started his journey in the Cooks' Army Unit .

The morning of the next day, Bu Fang woke up from his simple and crude bed . He only sat on it and did not lie down to sleep . He had a bit of an obsessive disorder… . It would take time for him to get used to the bed .

Bu Fang barely opened his eyes . The sound of a steel ladle and pot colliding repeatedly could be heard from outside the tent .

Dang Dang Dang!!

Then, he heard a rough voice .

"All of you get up and start preparing to move off!"
