Chapter 1761 Changsha Stinky Tofu

When the fish entered Kang Yongnian’s mouth, his eyes instantly widened, and his face showed an extremely enjoyable expression.

Seeing his reaction, Zhai Lingxiu couldn’t help but immediately pick up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth, then she showed the exact same expression as Kang Yongnian.

Ye Bufan asked, “Young Miss, Old Man, how is my dish?”

“Oily but not greasy, spicy but not dry, numbing but not bitter, the meat is tender and smooth. It’s truly a High Grade among fish, a rare delicacy!”

Kang Yongnian chewed and shook his head, praising it incessantly.

“Delicious, extremely delicious, better than Immortal Water Fish!”

In contrast, Zhai Lingxiu’s conclusion was simple and direct; she not only evaluated the taste of the boiled fish but also directly gave an appraisal result.

“This…”

He Changqing’s face was filled with disbelief. He didn’t expect that the Immortal Water Fish he had painstakingly brought from the capital, spending twenty thousand gold coins, would actually lose.

“No, I must try it!”

He was truly unwilling to admit defeat just like that, so he also picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of fish into his mouth.

Then, the spicy, fresh, and fragrant taste exploded in his mouth. As the Da Shao of the He Family, he had eaten countless delicacies, but he had never tasted fish this good. In the end, he could only silently admit defeat out of helplessness.

Compared to his dejection, Kang Yongnian was incredibly excited. He hadn’t expected that by simply taking a casual stroll, he would not only drink excellent wine but also taste such delicious fish.

“Young man, quickly tell this Old Man what kind of fish this is. It tastes absolutely wonderful, and this Old Man wants to go buy some too.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “Old Man, this is just ordinary grass carp. The good taste comes from the superb cooking technique. Even if I gave you this kind of fish, you wouldn’t be able to make it.”

“Uh…”

The excited Kang Yongnian then remembered what he had said before, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, “That’s right, that’s right. Compared to the taste of this fish, the chefs at our Zuixian Restaurant are simply trash, far too inferior.”

The Old Man was quite honest, not caring for his own face at all, and directly admitted the fact.

Zhai Lingxiu ate with great delight, her delicate red lips stained with bright oil.

“Dr. Ye, where did you buy this fish? I’ll buy more later.”

“You can’t buy this. This fish was given to me by my Master.”

Ye Bufan, as always, directly shifted the blame to his non-existent Master.

Zhai Lingxiu, however, had no doubts and her face was full of admiration.

In her opinion, his Master was not only a Grand Alchemist but also a gourmet and a martial Dao expert. To be able to become a disciple under such a Master was definitely a blessing cultivated in a past life.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly and looked at He Changqing again, “Young Master He, how about this round? Do you admit defeat?”

“So what if you win? Don’t forget our bet is five rounds, three wins. I still have a chance to win it back.”

No sooner had He Changqing finished speaking than the Waiter brought up the second dish.

As soon as this dish entered the room, a rich aroma wafted over. Compared to the spicy, fresh, and fragrant taste of the boiled fish, this had a distinct flavor.

“Is this… is this fragrant deer meat?”

Kang Yongnian asked, looking at the plate.

On the Kunlun Continent, there is a unique creature that, in appearance, is not much different from an ordinary sika deer, but it has a rich fragrance, so it is named Fragrant Deer.

However, this creature is rare, highly vigilant, and extremely fast, making it generally difficult to capture.

It is precisely because of this that the price of fragrant deer meat has soared. Not only is it expensive, but ordinary people, even if they have money, cannot get it.

“That’s right, this is fragrant deer meat.”

He Changqing had truly put a lot of effort and spent quite a few gold coins today.

He looked at Ye Bufan with burning eyes, “Young man, where is your second dish? I refuse to believe it can surpass my fragrant deer meat!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Yongnian immediately looked over, wanting to see what kind of delicacy this Young man could produce, hoping for another surprise.

Zhai Lingxiu, on the other hand, frowned slightly. She had eaten fragrant deer meat before and knew its preciousness and deliciousness.

Especially that irresistible aroma, which simply couldn’t be compared to other ingredients. In this situation, it would probably be extremely difficult for Ye Bufan to overcome his opponent.

Ye Bufan didn’t immediately respond. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of deer meat, put it into his mouth, and slowly chewed.

Under everyone’s gaze, after a moment, he finally said, “The meat tastes good, and it’s indeed very fragrant when eaten.”

He Changqing’s heart rejoiced, and he said proudly, “Are you going to admit defeat?”

“Admit defeat? How is that possible!”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “I only said your meat tastes very fragrant, but fragrance doesn’t represent everything. Sometimes, something smelly might taste even better than something fragrant!”

“Young man, what are you saying? Are you crazy? Or are you playing a joke on me?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He Changqing immediately burst into laughter, “Something smelly can taste good? This is honestly the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life.”

Although Zhai Lingxiu and Kang Yongnian didn’t speak, their faces were full of disbelief. They never expected Ye Bufan to say such a thing.

On the Kunlun Continent, smelly things are absolutely inedible, let alone delicious. He couldn’t understand how this Young man could have such an idea?

“Some things you only know after trying them.”

Ye Bufan finished speaking, flipped his wrist, and a box of Changsha Stinky Tofu appeared in his palm, then he placed it on the dining table.

Immediately, a strong foul odor spread, making the several people present cover their noses and mouths, their faces showing expressions of disgust.

Ye Bufan chuckled. He had bought this item from the most famous snack street in the Imperial Capital, and many girls around him liked to eat it, so he often kept some in his Storage Ring.

At first, he was also extremely surprised, not understanding why Divine Rank beauties like Su Ruyue and An Yimo liked something so smelly?

Later, under Dongfang Huizhong’s coercion and temptation, he finally ate a piece, and only then did he truly experience what it meant to smell bad but taste good.

From then on, he also fell in love with this local snack and would occasionally eat some with his girlfriends.

He Changqing shouted, “What is this strange thing? It’s too smelly, quickly put it away.”

Ye Bufan chuckled, “This is my second dish. Why should I put it away? This thing is very delicious.”

He Changqing said, “Young man, are you toying with us? This black thing is clearly rotten, how could it be delicious?”

Kang Yongnian also shook his head repeatedly, “Young man, I think you should just admit defeat. How can something so smelly compare to his fragrant deer meat? One is smelly, one is fragrant, it’s obvious which one wins.”

“That won’t do. As those who are impartial, you must at least taste it.”

Ye Bufan looked at the Old Man’s strange expression and couldn’t help but laugh. Since he came to be impartial, he had to pay some price.

Zhai Lingxiu asked doubtfully, “Dr. Ye, are you not joking? Can this thing really be eaten?”

“I already said, not only can it be eaten, but it’s a Peerless Grade delicacy.”

Ye Bufan said, then he himself picked up a piece of stinky tofu, put it into his mouth, and began to chew with an expression of enjoyment.
