A Bite of Douluo Continent

Everything vanished like smoke, leaving only the awe-inspiring Fuya.

Although it was the second time he had witnessed this strange phenomenon, Qi Han still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Forcing himself to calm down, Qi Han pointed to the fish belly stuffed with mutton on the plate, "Try it."

"what!"

Fuya then came to her senses and looked at Qi Han with a complicated expression. "Boss, what was that just now?"

"That's because the food we cooked was so magical that it caused a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth. There might be other recipes that can cause similar phenomena in the future, so we should get used to it in advance," Qi Han said, trying to appear calm.

After a while, Fuya finally regained her composure and began to observe the dish.

A lotus leaf, as green as jade, sits at the bottom of the plate, upon which lies a slender fish. The surface of the fish is grilled to a light golden brown, and the aroma of badger caul fat mingles with the fragrance of the fish itself, making it exceptionally tempting.

Taking a deep breath, Fuya picked up her chopsticks and reached for the belly of the fish.

Fuya's hometown is a coastal city with abundant aquatic products, including all kinds of sea fish.

She has loved eating fish since she was a child. She was once disappointed because Qi Han's shop did not have fish, but she did not expect that the boss's new dish would be fish.

Fuya's favorite part is the fish belly meat. This part of the meat is the most tender and has the fewest bones. She can easily pick out large chunks of boneless fish meat and stuff them into her mouth without worrying about getting fish bones stuck in her throat. Every bite is a great satisfaction.

As her chopsticks touched the fish's belly, Fuya was surprised to find that the fish's belly was bulging and full.

Thinking about the name of the dish, Fuya seemed to be deep in thought.

Is the fish's belly filled with mutton?

With one bite, Fuya was surprised to find that there wasn't even a long, large bone in the fish's belly, making it easy for her to pick up the whole piece.

Did the owner remove the fish bones?

Before she could figure it out, as the fish belly was cut open, the unique flavor of mutton hidden inside instantly filled the entire dining area.

Smelling the aroma, Fuya couldn't wait to put a piece of fish belly wrapped in mutton into her mouth.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Can I Part With It?

Well!

As she put the fish into her mouth, Fuya quickly experienced its exquisite freshness and deliciousness, an experience she had never had before.

Can food really be this delicious?

Fuya closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly. The sweetness of the fish, the aroma of the mutton, and the flavors of various ingredients blended perfectly, releasing their full flavor between her mouth and nose. Her taste buds cheered. For the first time in her life, she truly understood the meaning of the word "fresh."

This is what freshness is all about.

This is what true freshness is!

Fuya's chopsticks moved again. She picked up a second piece of fish belly meat and put it in her mouth, feeling the delicious taste spread wildly in her mouth. She couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The boss's cooking skills are getting more and more amazing!

...

Setting down her empty plate, Fuya showed a look of lingering satisfaction. The portion of the fish belly stuffed with lamb was just right for her, and after eating this serving, Fuya was already full.

Qi Han sat opposite Fuya, watching the little white mouse finish eating the fish-stuffed lamb with a satisfied expression, and couldn't help but smile. "Fuya, what do you think of this dish?"

Fuya tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head helplessly. "Boss, the food you make is so delicious, I can't find any fault with it. Why is this dish so delicious?"

"That's because it's the result of the combination of the umami flavors of fish and mutton." Qi Han smiled slightly and didn't explain further.

Unfortunately, the character "鲜" in Douluo Continent is not composed of the characters "鱼" (fish) and "羊" (sheep), so the story of "鱼羊鲜" (fish and sheep fresh) can only remain in Qi Han's memory.

Otherwise, Qi Han would be happy to share with Fuya the story behind changing a single character in a dish.

After tidying up the plates, Fuya straightened her maid outfit and slowly pushed open the door of the small shop.

While she was enjoying the fish stuffed with lamb, half an hour passed, and it was time to open the shop.

The moment the shop door opened, a slender figure walked straight into the shop.

He was an elderly man with white hair and beard.

White Plum Blossoms Douluo, White Long Wind.

After carefully examining the shop's decor, Bai Changfeng's gaze lingered briefly on the menu wall before quickly turning to Fuya. "Young lady, where is the owner of this shop?"

"The boss is in the kitchen," Fuya said, pointing to Qi Han who was quietly preparing food in the kitchen.

"Oh?"

A sharp glint flashed in Bai Changfeng's eyes beneath his white eyebrows as he strode toward the kitchen.

"Click".

His expression suddenly changed as he stepped into the area where the kitchen and dining area met.

A layer of light membrane silently appeared, blocking Bai Changfeng's steps and leaving his foot suspended in mid-air.

"Humph!"

Bai Changfeng snorted coldly, his arrogance, which had been dormant for decades, was stirred up by a small layer of light.

Now even a small shop dares to stop me, Bai Changfeng?

His soul power surged violently, and a clear, melodious sword cry seemed to emanate from within him.

"break!"

Bai Changfeng gave a low shout, but the light membrane remained completely still.

The other six entered the shop after Bai Changfeng. As soon as they entered, they saw this scene and couldn't help but shrink their pupils slightly.

Bai Changfeng appeared to be handling things with ease, and he didn't even reveal his spirit rings, but the others knew very well that the old man's methods were not simple.

That was the White Plum Sword Intent he had cultivated for decades and had defeated countless people with his sword. It was so powerful that it could break through anything. With this sword intent, he could even defeat a strongman who was two levels higher than him in terms of soul power.

With such methods, how could they not even break through this light membrane that appeared out of nowhere?

This shop owner has such a powerful backing!

Hearing the noise, Qi Han turned around and saw an elderly man with white hair and beard sulking at thin air. Confused, he scratched his head and asked, "Excuse me... is there something you need?"

Bai Changfeng narrowed his eyes and subtly withdrew his leg, saying, "Kid, when I was your age, I wasn't as arrogant as you."

In his view, the light film he had just seen was clearly the shop owner's doing, but the shop owner pretended to be nonchalant.

What is this if not arrogance?

"what?"

Although Qi Han had seen Bai Changfeng through the shop door and knew he was a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level, his inexplicable malice made it difficult for him to feel any respect.

"If you want to order at our shop, just tell Fuya." With that, Qi Han turned around and continued with his preparations, leaving Bai Changfeng with only his back to him.

The other party was baffled, and he didn't bother with any politeness.

I thought all the titled Douluo were like the four hall masters of the Tang Sect, such lovable seniors, but now it seems I was overthinking it.

Bai Changfeng's face darkened, and he was about to explode when a hand slowly pressed on his shoulder. "Alright, Old Bai, find a seat."

Yu Hua glanced at Bai Changfeng with annoyance and shook his head helplessly.

I knew this guy would mess things up.

But I really didn't expect that Boss Qi would have such methods.

Of the seven, the four hall masters of the Tang Clan all had good tempers. Although they bickered with each other, it was just normal interaction between friends. Cao Rang, as the dean of the outer academy of Shrek Academy, had been teaching and educating people for many years and also had a good temper. As for Qian Bu, he was an even better person.

Only Bai Changfeng was a bit arrogant; otherwise, he wouldn't have disappeared from the public eye for decades after just one defeat.

But after all, he was a student from Shrek Academy, and even someone with Bai Changfeng's personality wouldn't do anything like bullying the weak.

"Young Master Qi, would you be willing to give me some face?" Yu Hua looked at Qi Han with a smile and spoke slowly.

Qi Han respected Yu Hua, a senior figure in the industry, and was a regular customer of the small shop, eating there almost every day.

"What do you mean by that, Senior Yu?" Qi Han had already vaguely guessed what was going on, but he still pretended to know nothing.

That little rascal.

Yu Hua shook his head helplessly. "I think Boss Qi knows a bit about why we're here this time. We don't mean any harm. We just want to ask if any top-tier natural treasures have appeared since such huge fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth occurred twice in our shop?"

"If so, I'm sure you, Boss Qi, are aware of the resources and strength of my Tang Clan. The Tang Clan is willing to pay a high price for this rare and precious treasure. I wonder if you, Boss Qi, would be willing to part with it?"

"And my Shrek City Auction House, we're not short of money either." Qian Bu patted his slightly chubby belly and chuckled.

“If there are truly rare and precious materials, I can represent Shrek Academy to purchase them.” Cao Rang smiled kindly and nodded slightly.

Bai Changfeng snorted twice, intending to speak, but remembering the unpleasantness that had just occurred, he ultimately remained silent.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: A serving of fish stuffed with mutton!

rare and precious materials?

Qi Han was slightly taken aback, and after realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but find it both funny and absurd.

It turns out that the titled Douluo took the unusual phenomenon of the carp leaping over the dragon gate as a sign of the birth of a rare and precious treasure, which explains why they made such a big fuss.

However, even compared to rare and precious treasures, the fish belly hiding a sheep seems to be not much different.

After all, most of the rare and precious materials in Douluo Continent are recorded in Qi Han's Encyclopedia of Ingredients, and he didn't see any that could directly put people into a deep meditative state.

“Senior Yu, if you truly possess rare and precious materials, I would naturally not mind giving them to you. However, my humble shop truly has no rare and precious materials at all.” Qi Han revealed a helpless smile.

"If not, then how do you explain this strange phenomenon?" Cao Rang frowned slightly. His martial spirit was related to his spirit, so he could naturally tell that what Qi Han said was true.

However, Cao Rang believed that the two strange phenomena he had experienced could not be hallucinations. How could such a massive fluctuation of strange phenomena have no origin?

Qi Han pointed to the price list on the wall, "The strange phenomena that the seniors mentioned should be caused by my new dish."

Fuya watched anxiously from the side, fearing that her boss had offended several titled Douluo masters, which could lead to an uncontrollable situation.

Upon hearing this, she responded, "Dean, the boss wasn't lying. The strange phenomenon just now was caused by the boss having me try the new dishes at our shop. I saw it with my own eyes."

this...

Upon hearing this, several titled Douluo turned their attention to the price list, and the other diners who entered the shop also became curious.
