Chapter 3

Looking at Xiao Xiaolong's red-faced and stubborn appearance, Bu Fang gave him a meaningful glance and smiled faintly.

Xiao Xiaolong blinked his eyes, the fair skin that could be easily pinched seemed to be tinged with a rosy hue, but he still stubbornly said, "Let me tell you, I'm tasting your egg fried rice not because I accepted the price, but to test it myself and prove that your egg fried rice isn't worth this price!"

"Understood, one bowl of egg fried rice, right? Wait a moment." Bu Fang said expressionlessly, waved his hand, and walked towards the kitchen. "Oh, by the way, the dry noodles and stir-fried vegetables in this shop are also very good. Would you like to try them?"

"Apparently, egg fried rice goes well with stir-fried vegetables." Bu Fang paused at the kitchen door, turned his head, and shamelessly promoted the other two dishes with a cool, expressionless face.

Xiao Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the prices of those two dishes, feeling as if an invisible arrow had pierced his heart.

"No need! Just give me the egg fried rice."

"Oh, alright, what a pity." Bu Fang nodded, turned his head, and entered the kitchen.

Seeing Bu Fang's calm demeanor, Xiao Xiaolong really wanted to punch him in the face. A bowl of stir-fried vegetables for a hundred gold coins, do you really think I'm a fool? A dish of stir-fried vegetables that should cost no more than ten copper coins is priced at a hundred gold coins; probably only this peculiar little shop could come up with such a thing.

While Bu Fang was cooking the egg fried rice, Xiao Xiaolong felt somewhat bored and naturally glanced at the big black dog at the door, or rather, the porcelain bowl the big black dog was desperately pushing.

Recalling the aroma of the egg fried rice he had smelled earlier, the smooth, silky scent that felt like a lover's gentle caress instantly increased Xiao Xiaolong's appetite, causing his stomach to rumble loudly. Fortunately, there were no other customers in this small restaurant besides him; otherwise, the always suave and elegant Dragon Young Master would have been utterly embarrassed.

The big black dog's frantic pushing of the porcelain bowl suddenly paused, as if sensing something. It lifted its head, and its dog eyes fell on Xiao Xiaolong. Seeing the foolish human staring at its porcelain bowl, the big black dog got angry!

The dog pawed the porcelain bowl, stood up, and turned its butt towards Xiao Xiaolong, blocking his view before continuing to eat voraciously.

Xiao Xiaolong felt as if he had been shot by another invisible arrow in his heart... He had been looked down upon by this big black dog again!

"Hmph! This young master wouldn't care about what a dog eats! Dog's eyes are low! Hmph!" Xiao Xiaolong was furious and angrily huffed in his heart.

Five minutes later, a rich aroma once again wafted from the kitchen. The smell made Xiao Xiaolong completely intoxicated, the rich egg fragrance mixed with a faint rice aroma. Just the smell made Xiao Xiaolong's mouth water uncontrollably.

"Delicious, but selling it for one yuan crystal still feels a bit crazy!" Xiao Xiaolong swallowed and grumbled in his heart.

Finally, Bu Fang emerged from the kitchen, holding a plate. The rich aroma spread from the plate, enveloping the entire small restaurant.

"Here is your egg fried rice, please enjoy."

Bu Fang placed the egg fried rice in front of Xiao Xiaolong and said expressionlessly.

White steam rose from the bowl, swirling in front of Xiao Xiaolong before dissipating, like an exploded aroma bomb, making Xiao Xiaolong take a deep breath involuntarily.

Ignoring Bu Fang, Xiao Xiaolong's eyes were fixed on the egg fried rice. Egg fried rice that costs one yuan crystal... it must be extraordinary!

On the white porcelain plate were grains of rice as round as pearls, each grain wrapped in a golden egg liquid. The egg liquid was not fully cooked and hardened but was rather viscous, like a layer of egg sauce. However, the viscosity was just right, about eight-tenths cooked, and when wrapped with the rice grains, it looked like they were draped in a golden veil, shimmering with a golden glow.

"This... this is really glowing egg fried rice!" Xiao Xiaolong stared dumbfounded at the plate of egg fried rice he had never seen before.

He had never even imagined that egg fried rice could be cooked like this, it was so exquisite it looked like a work of art.

Xiao Xiaolong was of noble birth, the third son of the capital's great general. He had tasted all kinds of delicacies in the general's mansion, and he had even eaten egg fried rice cooked by the imperial chefs. However, compared to this glowing egg fried rice, those egg fried rice dishes seemed rather dull.

In fact, this plate of egg fried rice only contained eggs and rice, with no other ingredients, but Xiao Xiaolong had a strange feeling that this egg fried rice was many times more delicious than the imperial chefs'!

Picking up the neatly placed blue-and-white spoon, Xiao Xiaolong licked his lips and carefully scooped a spoonful of egg fried rice. The viscous egg liquid even pulled out fine threads, and as soon as he scooped the rice, a rich aroma immediately enveloped him, assaulting his taste buds.

No longer caring about anything, Xiao Xiaolong put the egg fried rice in his mouth.

As soon as the egg fried rice entered his mouth, a strong aroma immediately hit his taste buds. The originally viscous egg liquid instantly solidified and became soft and tender, the pearl-like grains of rice mixed with the soft and solidified egg, creating an unprecedentedly good texture!

"My God! How can there be such delicious egg fried rice in the world?! I feel like I want to cry!"

Xiao Xiaolong was completely intoxicated by the egg fried rice, as if he were swimming in a sea of its aroma, unable to extricate himself.

All the talk about testing the poison had long been forgotten by Xiao Xiaolong. At this moment, his eyes and mouth were filled with... eggs, rice, egg fried rice!

Eat, keep eating, don't stop!

One yuan crystal for a bowl of egg fried rice, Xiao Xiaolong suddenly felt like he had made a good deal.

"Smack, smack!"

Xiao Xiaolong buried his face in the bowl of egg fried rice, eating with great enjoyment, his appearance somewhat similar to the big black dog eating egg fried rice at the door.

"Delicious!" Xiao Xiaolong couldn't stop, scooping and eating the rice in one smooth motion. Oh, he even raised his head to give Bu Fang a thumbs up, and with his exclamation of "delicious," a few grains of golden rice flew out of his mouth. Xiao Xiaolong's eyes widened, and he picked up the grains that fell on the table and put them back in his mouth.

Bu Fang pulled a chair and sat opposite Xiao Xiaolong, calmly watching the scene. Xiao Xiaolong's eating behavior was exactly as Bu Fang had expected. When he himself had first tasted this egg fried rice, his appearance was not much better than Xiao Xiaolong's.

When Xiao Xiaolong had licked the blue porcelain plate clean, cleaner than if it had been washed, he finally let out a satisfied sigh.

"Is this egg fried rice?!"

"As you see, it is indeed a mixture of eggs and rice stir-fried together." Bu Fang answered calmly and composedly.

"This is really more delicious than the egg fried rice cooked by the imperial chefs!" Xiao Xiaolong muttered to himself, while Bu Fang said nothing, sitting on the side, looking as if he were a transcendent being.

"Now, is this egg fried rice worth one yuan crystal?" Bu Fang asked Xiao Xiaolong.

However, Xiao Xiaolong frowned, smacked his lips, and said, "Although this egg fried rice is a rare delicacy, do you know what one yuan crystal means?"

"Yuan crystals can aid cultivators in their cultivation. Can your egg fried rice do that? They are not on the same value level, but I still admit that your egg fried rice is very delicious!"

Bu Fang raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting Xiao Xiaolong to come up with such a theory. Although it seemed to make sense, ... is this sissy trying to weasel out of paying?!

Just as Bu Fang was about to speak, Xiao Xiaolong's fair and tender face suddenly turned bright red, and a faint glow emanated from his entire body, as if a current of energy was flowing through him.

"Burp~~"

A burp sounded, and the redness on Xiao Xiaolong's face faded, but his gaze towards Bu Fang became very strange and intense.

His voice was even trembling...

"Te... tell me, what are the ingredients in your egg fried rice?!"
