<strong>1176 The Aromatic Golden Leg of Lamb! </strong>


    Roasted leg ofmb was a main course and a rather troublesome dish to prepare.


    It could be served in a feast.


    Bu Fang could actually choose to serve a roasted leg ofmb at the imperial feast in Goddess City. However, he didn’t cook this dish because he didn’t have the ingredient.


    Now, Lord Dog and the Immortal Tree had brought him the leg of a Great Saint. This was the time to test his cooking skills.


    How to roast a leg ofmb was a serious question.


    Bu Fang borrowed the War God Stick from Whitey, stabbed it through the leg, and stretched it out.


    Of course, he couldn’t just roast it like this. Themb roasted in this way would taste gamey and nothing else. Therefore, Bu Fang took out many ingredients.


    There were many spirit ingredients and spirit herbs nted in his Heaven and Earth Farnd now, and the ingredients of some dishes were also specially cultivated, such as Scale Tail Scallion, Purple Garlic, and Son Mother Ginger.


    Of course, there were many other ingredients too, which were made intomon spices by Bu Fang.


    Spices were the best things to use in a roasted dish like this. Not only could they cover the meat’s gamey taste, but they could also intensify and bring out the meat’s fragrance.


    He peeled a bulb of Purple Garlic and chopped the cloves into tiny pieces.


    Then, he poked many tiny holes in the leg and stuffed them with garlic. After that, he sprinkled powdered herbs all over its surface.


    It was a marinating process. While sprinkling herbs, Bu Fang also used his true energy to infuse the vor of the spices into the leg ofmb.


    He precisely controlled the degree of infusion, making sure that the spices only infused sixty percent of the meat. He would finish the rest during the roasting process so that the vor would pop when the cooking was done.


    After sprinkling all the spices, Bu Fang took out a processed Exploding me Pepper, which was extremely dry and hot.


    He removed all the seeds in the pepper and stuffed them into the tiny holes as well.


    Now that the preparations were done, the next step was to begin roasting themb.


    Whitey’s War God Stick was hot, but the temperature was not high enough, so Bu Fang measured its length and built a stove with a rack over it.


    He ced the leg on the rack and threw the white me into the stove.


    BOOM!


    In an instant, the immortal me roared and burst with a high temperature.


    There were a few vent holes in the stove, through which the immortal mes shot out and licked themb.


    Although this leg ofmb was the flesh of a Great Saint, after being processed by Bu Fang, it had lost its unique strong defense, and its pressure of a Great Saint was almost gone. The remaining pressure, just a tiny bit of it, could actually improve the dish’s level.


    In just a brief moment, the jets of scorching mes had changed themb’s color from pinkish-white to pinkish-red.


    As the roasting progressed, grease began oozing out and dripping onto the stove, filling the air with sizzling noises.


    Roasted leg ofmb was a delicacy that required time and patience to prepare, so it could not be cooked through in a short time.


    A leg ofmb wasrge and thick, and the meat further inside was harder to cook. Therefore, what Bu Fang needed to do with this hard-to-cookmb was to use his divine perception to monitor the doneness of the meat as it was being roasted.


    Bu Fang sped his hands behind his back and walked around the stove. He didn’t turn the leg and just let the mes roast one side.


    The aroma of spices permeated the air, which was extremely fragrant.


    He didn’t know much about spices, but he knew that they were made by drying and grinding many spirit herbs, which had the effect of stimting one’s taste buds and adding texture and vor to the ingredients.


    Spices were crucial to roasted dishes, and roasted leg ofmb required a very important spice—rosemary.


    It was different from rosemary on Earth.


    Bu Fang learned from the system that the required rosemary was a top-grade immortal ingredient, which was made by drying and grinding the stalks of Rosemary Bone Flower.


    Rosemary Bone Flower was highly toxic, but its stalks could be made into spices. When the outeryer of the stalk was removed, you would find a substance, which was the source of the flower’s scent.


    The flower’s toxicity didn’te from its scent but the petals. It used scent to attract people to touch it, and anyone who touched the petals would be killed by an odorless and colorless poisonous substance, which was powerful enough to kill a Nine-star True Immortal.


    However, its scent was harmless.


    Bu Fang produced a little white ceramic bottle and uncorked it. Immediately, a pungent aroma spread out of the bottle, and a hazy golden light seemed to drift out of it as well.


    This was the required spice, rosemary.


    It was really fragrant. Even Bu Fang couldn’t resist it, letting himself immerse in the aroma.


    However, he was a chef after all, and his divine perception was very powerful. Soon, he managed to collect himself.


    He held the bottle’s neck between his thumb and middle finger, tilted it slightly, and tapped it’s mouth lightly with his index finger.


    The rosemary in the bottle jumped out and sprinkled onto the leg ofmb.


    The spice had an attractive pale golden color, making the leg seem to cover in ayer of gold.


    As the roasting continued, the sound of grease spitting grew louder and louder, and as the surface of themb turned golden, a meaty aroma began to spread.


    It was a rich aroma. Perhaps because of the meat quality, it was so rich that one could hardly resist the urge to taste the meat at the first whiff of the aroma.


    “It smells so delicious!” Bu Fang eximed.


    The next part of the roasting process was a bit moreplicated, so instead ofpleting it in the kitchen, he took the roasting rack out.


    The bell chimed as Bu Fang lifted the curtain and walked out of the kitchen.


    As he came out, the aroma of spices, rosemary, and themb immediately permeated the air, attracting everyone’s attention.


    The people, who were reclining in their chairs to rest and rx, immediately straightened up.


    Foxy couldn’t resist the aroma the moment she smelled it, and she leaped toward the leg ofmb in a beam of white light.


    Bu Fang raised a hand and flicked his finger on her head, throwing her to the table. She rolled before sitting up with a confused look on her face.


    After that, Bu Fang ced the roasting rack on the table and lightly turned the War God Stick. Slowly, the leg ofmb turned upside down.


    Sizzle...


    Pulled by gravity, drops of golden grease glided down across the leg’s surface and fell into the roaring mes, evaporating in an instant and making the meaty aroma even stronger.


    A dagger appeared in Bu Fang’s grip. He used it to gently stab the leg from time to time to feel the meat’s doneness.


    Xixi stood next to him and watched intently. She could feel the subtlety of Bu Fang’s movements, his control over the mes, and the depth of the dagger when it was inserted into the meat.


    The rest of the people sat around Bu Fang. This was the way the tables and chairs were set in Immortal Chef Little Store, which was very unique.


    Everyone was staring at the roasting rack on the table and the leg ofmb over the stove.


    After a short while, the pinkish color of the meat had faded and was reced by a light golden color.


    A rich meaty aroma wafted out of the light golden meat. However, it was not ready to be eaten yet.


    The roasting continued.


    The smell of spices filled the air and made everyone hungry.


    Even then, Realm Lord Di Tai stared at the leg ofmb with wide eyes and sucked in a cold breath.


    “You used spices, didn’t you?” he turned to look at Bu Fang and asked.


    Bu Fang nodded. Spices such as rosemary were essential seasonings for roasted leg ofmb.


    “Spices are a big part of delicacies. However, the Immortal Cooking Realm has never had a systematic way of making them. In the earliest days, there was a Qilin Chef who specialized in spices, but ever since he was killed by an expert of the Nine Revolution Nether Chefs n, the recipe for spices has beenpletely lost.” Realm Lord Di Tai sighed. Then, he took a deep breath as he looked at the golden roasted leg ofmb.


    The fragrance of spices went into his nostrils and made him sofortable.


    “I don’t know much about spices either...” Bu Fang confessed.


    Spices were a big category of food. For some chefs, as long as there were spices, they could cook even the lowest quality ingredients into the most delicious delicacies in the world.


    Spices were everything for such chefs.


    Bu Fang was a stranger to thebinations of spices. After all, he had not studied them thoroughly.


    Thebination of different spices and the amount used would make the aroma of thebined spices vary greatly.


    Therefore, chefs who were good at using spices were very rare.


    As time passed, the leg ofmb turned golden red. It was the color of fully-cooked meat.


    The cooking hade to the final phase.


    After sprinkling all the remaining spices onto themb, Bu Fang took out the improved version of Abyssal Chili Sauce.


    He scooped half a tablespoon of the chili sauce into a porcin bowl and mixed it withmb fat. Then, he took out a brush, dipped it into the chili sauce, and began brushing the leg ofmb.


    Sizzle...


    Fat dripped into mes and evaporated, giving off a spicy scent that fused with themb’s aroma.


    It was a delicious smell.


    The crowd couldn’t hold it anymore, gulping again and again.


    Foxy was about to make a move, but a nce from Bu Fang made her curl into a ball again.


    Lord Dog stuck out his tongue with his eyes lit up. He knew that it was the right thing to give Bu Fang the leg ofmb. The aroma of it was simply... irresistible.


    RUMBLE!


    Dark clouds began to gather in the sky outside Immortal Chef Little Store. This time, they were very dense and thick.


    In just a sh, the whole firstyer was nketed by dark clouds.


    All the people looked up at the sky in shock. They knew an immortal chef must be cooking a delicacy and was about to face the lightning punishment.


    However...


    The magnitude of this punishment seemed to be quite out of the ordinary!


    Gongshu Ban and the others were slightly stunned when they saw the lightning punishment. The next moment, they seemed to have remembered something, and they gasped. Then, they quickly rushed toward Immortal Chef Little Store.


    Owner Bu must be cooking a delicious delicacy again!


    RUMBLE!


    Terrible lightning bolts shed in the sky, which looked like dragons with each scale clearly visible.


    Since the lightning punishment was here, it meant that the dish was about to bepleted.


    Bu Fang had almost finished roasting the leg ofmb. However, he nned to prepare some side dishes.


    He took out many Scale Tail Scallions, washed them, and ced them on a porcin te.


    In addition to scallions, Bu Fang also wanted to make roasted rice-flour pancakes.


    He took out some fragrant rice, which he had harvested from the paddies in the Heaven and Earth Farnd.


    The rice was put into a bowl, ground into powder, mixed with water, and shaped into small round doughs. After that, he ced them under the stove and baked until white bubbles formed on their surfaces.


    When the bottom of the pancakes turned slightly yellow and white bubbles formed on their surfaces, they were ready.


    He took them out one by one and ced them on a porcin te.


    After that, Bu Fang began making the sauce.


    While he was making it, he also turned the leg ofmb, causing a warm vor to infuse into the meat instantly.


    The golden and fragrant roasted leg ofmb waspletely cooked at this moment.


    With a snap, the white me shot back to Bu Fang’s finger and burned quietly. He blew at it, and the fire faded away.


    Now that the me was extinguished, the dish was ready to serve.


    The much-anticipated roasted leg ofmb was finally done.
