Chapter 600: Second-Grade Chef, Wen Renchou!

Translator: CatatoPatch Editor: Vermillion

At dusk, the skies were drizzling.

Rustle…

This lethargic weather caused the air to harbor a chilly intent.

Bu Fang opened his eyes and got out of his bed. After he finished rinsing himself, he left his room and made his way into the kitchen.

Even though the Chef’s Challenge between him and Wen Renchou would be beginning soon, there wasn’t a hint of distress in Bu Fang’s eyes. He just gave his sleepy and seemingly heavy head a little massage, followed by a big yawn. Afterwards, he began to practice his knife skills.

He first prepared the usual Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs and Dragon Blood Rice for the two gluttons in the restaurant. He went back into the kitchen to practice his knife skills a little bit more before he sat down to ponder about the dish he wanted to cook for the battle.

“Fish-related dishes… Which dish should I use to battle against Wen Renchou?” Bu Fang pondered about it seriously.

Since it was a Chef’s Challenge, Wen Renchou would definitely not use dishes that he wasn’t a hundred percent confident in. There was no way he would challenge Bu Fang with something he was unsure of. This was, after all, a battle for a chef’s honor and future.

The loser would be stripped of his kitchen knife and rights to cook. How cruel!

“Drunken fish? Steamed fish? Fish Head Tofu Soup? Grilled fish?” Bu Fang fondled his chin as he dwelled upon it. Of course, there were endless other fish-related dishes. Up till now, Bu Fang had cooked numerous varieties of fish-related dishes. He was able to bring out many dishes for this competition.

After thinking for a long time, Bu Fang raised his brows as he had a revelation that he might as well try a new type of dish.

A dish that had been ridiculously famous in his previous life began to surface in his mind. Bu Fang’s heart moved while his eyes beamed and his lips curled upwards. That was definitely going to be the dish.

Due to it being a Chef’s Challenge, the system was actually able to provide Bu Fang with the necessary ingredients free of charge. He was somewhat shocked. Was the stingy system finally letting up?

Bu Fang was in a state of shock when an enormously luscious Divine-Physique-Echelon Fish landed in front of him as it flapped its fins around. Just because of how strong this fish was, the plumpness and spiritual energy contained within the meat would be of top-notch quality.

Bu Fang squeezed the fish’s tender yet succulent body a few times. He then examined its blade-like fish scales which carried an aura of sharpness.

After meddling with the fish for a while, Bu Fang began to prepare this fish. The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife appeared as it displayed a flowery stance. The knife chopped down viciously, making a perfect cut. The light from the blade was shimmering with extreme intensity and it was really blinding.

…

The drizzle gradually died down.

Along with some moisture in the air, this kind of drizzle was rarely seen even during the summer.

Regardless of whether it was raining or not, the queue in front of the restaurant’s gate remained as long as before. Everyone was queuing expectantly, waiting for that bronze gate to open up.

However, things were slightly different from before. There was a hint of excitement on their faces and there was some uneasiness hidden under that as well. This was because they had received news regarding today’s Chef’s Challenge between Owner Bu and another ridiculously strong chef.

They were also not familiar with the term “Chef’s Challenge”. Nonetheless, they still found it somewhat awe-inspiring. Those that had some understanding regarding the pros and cons of this Chef’s Challenge felt a little worried for Bu Fang.

Still, up to that day, Bu Fang had yet to lose to anyone, and not even the Pill Palace’s top-tier alchemists were a match for him. After all, they were alchemists, not chefs.

This time, he had finally found a chef as an opponent… Moreover, his opponent seemed like a reliable and experienced chef. He even knew about the rarely known term, “Chef’s Challenge”.

Rain poured down from the sky, drenching the clothes of many.

A rumble was suddenly heard from the distant street.
