Chapter 1763 Tai Chi Taro Paste

Ye Bufan smiled playfully, "Since that's the case, let's serve the last dish."

The people beside them were all somewhat surprised. Zhai Lingxiu and Kang Yongnian were confused. If things continued like this, it would be pointless even if the other party didn't admit defeat and serve a few dishes.

Could it be that this Young man had given up on this bet and didn't want to offend the He Family? It seemed highly likely now.

Just then, a faint fragrance wafted, and a uniquely shaped dish appeared on the table.

Kang Yongnian sniffed the fragrance and looked over with a greedy expression, but he didn't immediately pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he asked in surprise, "Young man, what kind of dish is this?"

He asked this because the shape of the dish looked too strange: half black, half white, with two small colorful dots on each side. It clearly resembled the Yin and Yang fish of a Bagua diagram.

Ye Bufan smiled, "This is called Tai Chi Taro Paste, a very special dish."

"It is indeed very special. It looks so beautiful, it must be delicious."

Zhai Lingxiu said, picking up her spoon and preparing to taste the dish, but Ye Bufan stopped her.

"Don't rush. This is the dish that will decide the winner between Young Master He and me. You can taste it later."

"Oh!"

Zhai Lingxiu didn't say anything, nodded, and stopped.

Ye Bufan looked at He Changqing: "Do you want to concede now?"

"Concede? How could I? Isn't it just making the dish look fancier?" He Changqing sneered, "Generally speaking, dishes that look too good don't taste very good."

Ye Bufan's smile became even more peculiar: "Is that so? Then try it first."

He Changqing snorted. With his previous experience of eating ice cream, he directly picked up his spoon and scooped into the Tai Chi Taro Paste.

Kang Yongnian and Zhai Lingxiu watched from the side. They seemed to realize something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Under the gaze of the three, He Changqing put the Tai Chi Taro Paste into his mouth.

In a flash, he suddenly jumped up from his chair, then screamed in agony, sounding exactly like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.

Seeing the scene before him, Ye Bufan burst into laughter: "How about it, Young Master He? You still conceded, didn't you? It's just that your dog bark imitation is a bit too miserable."

Kang Yongnian and Zhai Lingxiu were first confused, then saw the steaming hot Tai Chi Taro Paste on the plate, and only then understood what the problem was. He Changqing was scalded.

It turned out that all of this was a trick set up by Ye Bufan. The biggest characteristic of Tai Chi Taro Paste is that it looks like a cold dish, but it's actually incredibly hot.

But those who don't know can't feel it at all; only after breaking through the outer skin can they feel the scorching heat inside.

In Huaxia, there is a famous folk tale: during the Qing Dynasty, Imperial Commissioner Lin Zexu came to Guangzhou. At that time, consuls from various countries, to ridicule Chinese officials, specifically prepared ice cream to entertain them.

He had never seen cold drinks before, so like He Changqing just now, he kept blowing on it while eating, and was ridiculed and mocked by the other party.

Lin Zexu remained calm at the time. The next day, he hosted a return banquet. After a cold dish, this plate of Tai Chi Taro Paste was served. From the outside, this taro paste looked exactly like a cold dish.

As a result, those foreign consuls all fell for the trick. A spoonful of Tai Chi Taro Paste went into their mouths, and they were immediately scalded, their eyes wide, unable to spit it out.

It was precisely because of this legend that this dish is very famous in Huaxia, and Ye Bufan had also prepared some in his Storage Ring for this reason.

Today, seeing that Young Master He was about to play dirty, he applied his knowledge flexibly, using both dishes from this story on the other party.

First, he used ice cream to mock him and relax his guard, then served the Tai Chi Taro Paste.

The effect was excellent; it immediately scalded the other party into howling like a dog.

Zhai Lingxiu looked at the steaming dish, secretly feeling a chill. Fortunately, Ye Bufan had stopped her just now, otherwise, she would have suffered a great loss like He Changqing.

At the same time, she found it amusing. This guy was really too mischievous, actually making the Young Master He look like this.

At this moment, He Changqing's mouth was full of blisters from the scalding, his lips red like two sausages, looking incredibly miserable and comical.

Grabbing a glass of water from the table and drinking it, he finally felt a little better, and then roared furiously: "You brat, you dared to trick me!"

"Young Master He, what you're saying isn't right. You're an adult, after all. You ate the dish yourself. What does it have to do with me if you got scalded?"

Ye Bufan then showed a playful smile, "To be honest, your dog bark imitation isn't very good; it sounds too awful."

"Bastard, I'll kill you!"

He Changqing was practically going mad with anger. He never expected to not only lose face in front of this Young man but also be pranked like this.

His family guards, who were waiting outside the room, heard their Young Master's screams and swarmed in, rushing into the private room with a menacing Aura.

Seeing He Changqing's appearance, the guard captain was startled, not understanding why the Young Master had suddenly become like this. It looked like he had been scalded by eating something.

He asked in confusion: "Young Master, are you alright?"

"Kill him! Kill him for me now!"

He Changqing pointed at Ye Bufan, filled with shame and anger, raging.

The guards all drew their weapons, preparing to act, but just then, a sharp blade light flashed, and the room was instantly filled with a dense killing intent.

"I'd like to see who dares!"

Zhai Lingxiu held her blade, her Aura pressing, and looked sharply at He Changqing: "What are you trying to do? You proposed the competition, and you ate the dish yourself. How can you blame others?"

The guards felt the might of this female general and immediately stopped, turning to look at their master in unison.

"Ye, you just wait for me. Today's matter isn't over."

He Changqing also knew that he hadn't brought enough people today. Although there were many guards, there were no masters among them, and with Zhai Lingxiu present, they couldn't harm Ye Bufan at all.

After uttering a harsh threat, he led his subordinates out of Zuixian Restaurant in a sorry state.

After he left, Kang Yongnian looked at the Young man before him with a complex expression. He never expected that after a lifetime of running a restaurant, his understanding would be refreshed repeatedly today, which he considered an eye-opener.

"Young man, listen to an old man's advice, leave quickly. He Changqing definitely won't let this go."

"It's fine, it's fine, old sir. You should try this dish; it actually tastes very good."

Ye Bufan said, moving the plate of Tai Chi Taro Paste in front of Zhai Lingxiu and Kang Yongnian, as if nothing had happened.

Kang Yongnian spoke again: "Young man, I'm really not joking with you. You can't afford to provoke the He Family's power. They'll be back soon, so you'd better leave quickly."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, returning his kindness.

"Old sir, I'm serious too. It's really nothing. You should try it quickly; this dish won't taste good when it gets cold."

Although this incident was unexpected, he had his own considerations. Even if he left Zuixian Restaurant, he couldn't leave Tianlang City, and it would bring trouble to the Su Family father and daughter.

This was clearly not what he wanted, so it was better to resolve the problem here.
