Chapter 1236 - Fang Fang Teppanyaki

Chapter 1236 Fang Fang Teppanyaki

‘Open a business? You’re really something…’ You Ji was speechless. She turned around and looked at the packed square. ‘There are so many kinds of people here… How did this guy come up with the idea of opening a business here? Is he so crazy about making money?’Bu Fang was very excited. As soon as the idea came to him, he couldn’t get it out of his mind anymore. Rubbing his chin, he became lost in thought.

‘To open a business, I’ll need a store, but I can always open a stall in this square… A stall can achieve great results as well and attract countless people, a spot where many people flock to.’

He nodded and had a general idea in his mind. Then, he thought of a question, asking the System, ‘System… If I open a stall in the square, can the Immortal Crystals or Nether Crystals I earn be counted in the sales target?’

The System remained in silence for a while as if it was calculating the practicability of his idea. At last, its serious voice rang in his mind, ‘The Host can open a stall in the square, and the revenue will be included in the sales target.’

Bu Fang’s eyes lit up instantly. With so many people in the square, it was absolutely a huge resource, and the most exciting thing was that no one else had come up with the same idea.

The next question was, what should he sell in his stall? He needed to consider it carefully.

Mo Yan and Fang Yu rolled their eyes as they watched Bu Fang become lost in thought again.

‘Is the Great Demon King really planning to open a business in the square? That’s kind of… cool.’

Zhu Yan, on the other hand, was a little speechless about Bu Fang’s idea. ‘Realm Lord Di Tai sent us here to take part in the tournament, not to open a business…’ he thought.

However, he couldn’t say anything to Bu Fang now, so he turned and walked toward a raised platform, where lots were being drawn. He needed to draw lots for team matches. For individual matches, there was no need to draw lots, but they needed to send a representative to collect number tags, which represented their identities.

Bu Fang let Zhu Yan handle all these matters. Looking at the young man’s dwindling figure, he finally recovered from deep thought. He placed one hand on his back, touched his chin with another, and narrowed his eyes.

Nethery stood at his side, while You Ji gave him a look, curled her lips, and said, “Whatever you want to do, do it at your own discretion. Just don’t push things too far. I still have things to handle… Oh, remember to keep a low profile here. You’re still too weak. If I hadn’t come today, do you think you could have gotten away with it?”

You Ji wasn’t very clear about Bu Fang’s current cultivation base, but when she saw him last time, he was still very weak. It had only been a short time since then, so she didn’t think he would be any stronger.

‘This guy’s cooking is good, but his cultivation base is too… weak.’

After that, she turned and walked away, disappearing into the crowd in just a flash.

“Are you really going to open a business here?” asked Xuanyuan Xiahui, looking at Bu Fang.

“Can’t you see so many people here? It would be a waste not to open a business in such a big market,” Bu Fang said.

“What are you going to sell? Hotpot?”

Xuanyuan Xiahui knew that Bu Fang had a lot of experience when it came to stalls. When he first arrived at the Immortal Cooking Realm, he had set up one in front of the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion.

“Hotpot?” Bu Fang gave Xuanyuan Xiahui a look and shook his head. “Hotpot is not a suitable food in this place… The traffic is high here, and most people are getting ready to take part in the competition, so I can’t open a stall with a fixed position. They don’t have time to eat slowly. It’s better to sell food that can be taken out and eaten on the go…”

That puzzled Xuanyuan Xiahui. Food that could be taken out and eaten on the go? What would that be?

When Fang Yu and Mo Yan saw that Xuanyuan Xiahui and Bu Fang were talking about the idea of opening a business, they were speechless. They knew Xuanyuan Xiahui was a commoner, and it was said that the Great Demon King was also a commoner.

‘Sure enough, only commoners would come out with the idea of opening a stall… What a disgrace!’

They exchanged a look and shook their heads in disappointment.

Xuanyuan Xiahui had only talked with Bu Fang for a short while, and he was already confused by all the strange terms. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “In that case… Let’s do it! I believe in you, Owner Bu.”

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched, then he nodded and said, “Follow me.”

After saying that, he walked into the crowd. He was surveying the location. He needed to find a spot with high traffic where people also gathered.

It was not difficult to find such spots in the square, and he quickly found one.

“Wait for me here. I’ll get something ready…” Bu Fang said.

Xuanyuan Xiahui paused. The next moment, he found that Bu Fang had disappeared.

…

Inside the Heaven and Earth Farmland, Xixi and the others were debating fiercely about some new dishes. Bu Fang’s appearance made them stop their discussion.

“Don’t mind me, I’m just passing by. Carry on.”

After saying that, Bu Fang walked toward the wooden hut and asked Niu Hansan to find him some timbers. Then, he built a wooden stall with the timbers and even hung a cloth banner over it.

“What are you going to do this time, Owner Bu?” Niu Hansan gave Bu Fang a confused look.

“Oh, just a fun little thing.”

When he was done, he carried the wooden stall and left the farmland, taking with him many ingredients as well.

…

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Xuanyuan Xiahui felt a little embarrassed. The glances that were constantly thrown at him made him shiver. He suddenly felt that Bu Fang’s idea was not feasible. How could one have the mood to cook when it was already so uncomfortable to stand here and soak in all the strange glances?

After some time, Bu Fang appeared with a huge wooden stall.

Xuanyuan Xiahui looked at him in disbelief.

The stall fell to the ground with a boom, kicking up a cloud of dust. The crowd was startled, and many people quickly moved away from it, creating a large empty space.

Glances were thrown over, some dissatisfied, some annoyed, and some frustrated. After all, it was normal for people to feel that way when a huge obstacle was placed in a spot with high traffic.

Bu Fang’s expression remained unchanged. With a thought, he produced the Black Turtle Constellation Wok and placed it on the wooden stall.

Many people around let out surprised sounds as they wondered what Bu Fang was trying to do.

Mo Yan and Fang Yu were watching from a distance, and they felt so embarrassed.

‘Is the Great Demon King really going to open a little stall here?! What is he going to sell?’

The flapping banner over the stall attracted the eyes of many people.

“Fang Fang Little Stall?”

“He’s only joking, isn’t he? Is he trying to… open a stall in the Forbidden Soul Square?”

“He’s very business-minded, but… this is a stupid thing to do here.”

The people around them were all chattering. Those who came here were participants in the Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path, and they would not have the time to buy food from that stall. It was a waste of time to open a stall here.

Xuanyuan Xiahui blushed when he heard all the voices around them, but Bu Fang was calm. Looking at him, Xuanyuan Xiahui felt calmer as well.

Bu Fang kept a straight face. With a thought, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife fell into his hand, while a wooden stick appeared on his other hand. He threw the stick up into the air and exhibited his Meteor Knife Skill, slashing so quickly that the knife looked like meteors falling from the night sky. In just a flash, he had cut the stick into countless thin skewers. He then placed the bundle of wooden skewers on the stall.

The competition had not yet started, so many people had gathered around to watch Bu Fang’s performance. They looked at him as if he was performing a show. In their eyes, he was like a clown.

Many people had recognized Bu Fang and Xuanyuan Xiahui. They knew they were both chefs from the Immortal Cooking Realm.

“Chefs will always be chefs. They can never stop their habit of cooking. Look, he’s going to cook even when he’s here for the competition,” said one of the onlookers.

Bu Fang looked around. The amused glances from the crowd made the corners of his mouth curve upward.

‘Very good…’

Suddenly, a huge octopus tentacle appeared in his hand. He grabbed it with one hand, and it curled up and seemed to be moving.

The next moment, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife fell rapidly like meteors, cutting the tentacle into small pieces. Then, he slapped the stall with a palm, causing all the wooden skewers to jump up and pierce those pieces of octopus…

Tap, tap, tap.

Skewers of octopus tentacles fell back onto the wooden stall.

The Black Turtle Constellation Wok was hollow, but as a God of Cooking Set, it had its special magic ability. Under the control of Bu Fang’s mind, it slowly rose and became flat.

Xuanyuan Xiahui was confused as he watched. “What are you going to do, Owner Bu?”

Bu Fang glanced at Xuanyuan Xiahui, then he suddenly thought of something. “Oh, help me hang this banner.” He threw a banner to him and continued working.

Holding back his curiosity, Xuanyuan Xiahui took the banner, walked to the stall’s side, and hung it there.

The banner unrolled, and soon the words on it were revealed, attracting the eyes of many.

“Fang Fang Little Stall. First-day dish: Teppanyaki.”

“Menu: Octopus Tentacle, Squid, Dragon Liver, Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, Demon Frog…”

“Price: Ten Immortal Crystals (Nether Crystals) per skewer.”

“Good quality and low price. First come, first served. Opening promotion: The first ten customers will enjoy a 90% discount.”

There was a lot of information on the banner, and many people were confused after reading it. Even Xuanyuan Xiahui, who had hung the banner, was slightly taken aback, and he sucked in a cold breath.

“Teppanyaki?! What is this?”

Xuanyuan Xiahui was completely puzzled. He knew about hotpot. He had witnessed Bu Fang’s hotpot with his own eyes, and that level of creativity had shocked everyone. Later, there was a barbecue. When he saw those wooden skewers, he thought Bu Fang was going to grill meat, but now it seemed that he was wrong.

The banner also mentioned the first-day dish… Could there be a second-day dish?

The people around burst into an uproar when they saw the banner, and many of them were laughing contemptuously.

“Ten Immortal Crystals per skewer… Why doesn’t this guy just go and rob someone?!”

The people present were all geniuses from different worlds, and some were even leaders of their teams. Their cultivation bases were strong, and they didn’t lack money. However, no one got their money from the wind. A tiny skewer cost ten Immortal Crystals… Did this guy really think they were stupid?

Many people had made up their minds that they would never buy Bu Fang’s food. They wanted to let this chef from the Immortal Cooking Realm suffer so much loss that he would cry!

In the crowd, You Ji also saw what Bu Fang was doing, and the corner of her mouth twitched violently.

‘I knew it. This guy is going to do something strange…’

Nethery stood quietly behind Bu Fang. Her eyes shone brightly as if she was looking forward to tasting Bu Fang’s teppanyaki. She had been with him the longest, so she knew very well that whenever he came out with a new dish, it would never disappoint her!

Teppanyaki… sounded very delicious.

Bu Fang paid the contemptuous laughter and mocking remarks no mind. How would they know the charm of teppanyaki without tasting it?

When all the ingredients were prepared, Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, took a step back, opened his mouth, and breathed a plume of white flame.

Sizzle…

Wisps of steam immediately rose from the Black Turtle Iron Plate!

At the same time, the draw in the raised platform had officially begun.
