”Big brother, do you think this gigolo is an idiot? We’re wagering with him, but we’re the ones who decide whether it’s delicious. Even if his dishes are really delicious, we can just say that it tastes bad and he can’t do anything about it! At that time, he’ll still need to obediently hand our sister over,” Ouyang Di covertly whispered to the stern-looking Ouyang Zhen.

Ouyang Zhen gave a sidelong glance to his third brother, then snorted and said, ”With our taste buds, even the most delicious cuisine in the imperial palace tasted the same. Do you think we even tell whether it tastes good or not? Aren’t you just talking crap?”

”That gigolo will definitely lose this wager,” Ouyang Zhen triumphantly said as his beard fluttered.

”I knew Big brother is the smartest among us; you understood immediately. It’s only because we drank too much and lost our sense of taste. Except for wine, everything tastes like plain water. It’s really uncomfortable, though,” Ouyang said with a sigh.

”Second brother! Don’t worry about it. After we pick up Xiaoyi, I’ll let you drink the ”Exquisitely Aromatic Intense Flames Wine” that the emperor bestowed to me! It will definitely make you feel as if your entire body is on fire!” Ouyang Zhen said as he patted Ouyang Wu’s shoulders.

”Heh! Thank you, big brother! With our palate, only wine can satisfy us now!” Ouyang Wu grinned.

While the three of them were chatting, Bu Fang was already preparing the dishes in the kitchen.

The Ice Sea fish needed to be marinated in advance when cooking Lees Fish, and he only prepared two fishes the night before. He already cooked one previously and was going to leave the other one for dinner. However, since someone else ordered the dish, he took it out to cook it.

After removing the distillers grains from the exterior of the fish, Bu Fang made two small cuts on its body then placed it on a plate inside the bamboo steamer.

The Egg-Fried Rice and Fish Head Tofu Soup were being prepared as well.

The smell of the Egg-Fried Rice was very fragrant; it drifted out from the kitchen and enveloped the three barbarians of Ouyang like silk, causing them to continuously sniff.

”It smells so good! It looks like this gigolo has some skills after all.” Ouyang Di said with an intoxicated expression.

The other two remained silent, but they did not think much of it. No matter how fragrant it was, there was no point; with their bland taste buds, everything tasted the same.

As Ouyang Xiaoyi was not around, Bu Fang had to personally serve the Egg-Fried Rice. He placed it on the table and said, ”Erm… Whoever’s Egg-Fried Rice, please enjoy your meal.”

As the three brothers looked similar to Zhang Fei, Bu Fang—who suffered from mild face blindness—was already having difficulty differentiating them.

”This is mine.” Ouyang Wu narrowed his eyes, got closer to the Egg-Fried Rice and deeply breathed in. The rich fragrance immediately filled his nasal cavity. He honestly thought it smelled really good.

Ouyang Wu was unable to endure it any longer and scooped up a spoonful of Egg-Fried Rice into his mouth. As the silk-like egg liquid entered his mouth, it immediately solidified. When it mixed together with the pearl-like rice grains, it was like they were jumping around his mouth, giving him a peculiar feeling.

”Guru.”

After swallowing the Egg-Fried Rice in his mouth, Ouyang Wu’s face turned expressionless. Even though the texture was excellent, it had no taste at all.

Ouyang Zhen and Ouyang Di tried a bite as well, and they both frowned after trying.

”What the hell is this? There’s no taste at all… Is this supposed to taste good?” Ouyang Zhen pursed his lip together, then threw the spoon onto the table and complained.

Bu Fang was startled, thinking. ”How is this possible? How could the improved Egg-Fried Rice taste bad?”

This was the first time he met a customer that improved Egg-Fried Rice was unable to subdue.

Bu Fang smelled the fragrance of the Egg-Fried Rice in the air; it was so rich that it was as if a piece of silk was caressing his face. ”There shouldn’t be any problems with the taste!”

”Is it because their taste buds are unique?” Bu Fang thought.

”Gigolo, you should just quickly throw in the towel and return our sister. You will not be able to cook anything that can impress us,” Ouyang Di gloatingly said with a smile.
