Fang Yi roughly finished boiling the herbal medicine. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already half-past six.
Then Fang Yi continued to get busy.
He first classified the ingredients that Ying Zheng and Rong Quan had brought back, holding a cleaver in his hand and began to cut and dissect various ingredients.
Every ingredient in Fang Yi’s hands underwent significant transformation, and these changes all stemmed from the cleaver held in Fang Yi’s right hand.
Using just a cleaver, various beef, lamb, pork, seafood, and assorted vegetables all took on their proper appearance under Fang Yi’s hand.
When Fang Yi cooks, he doesn’t use a wide array of knives like other chefs; as long as the cleaver is sharp enough, that suffices.
In the kitchen, Fang Yi was alone in his work, and the place seemed quiet, with only the sound of the cleaver striking the cutting board, full of rhythm and cadence. This content belongs to novel★fire.net
Suddenly, the sound of applause echoed.
The cleaver in Fang Yi’s hand paused slightly, and he turned around, still wearing his apron, to see a man.
This man was dressed in a silver suit, with fair skin, and his hairstyle was the fresh and trendy kind, making his facial features appear very handsome.
He had a tall build that complemented his handsome face, exuding charisma, almost like a character cut from the same mold as those oppas in Cangyun’s idol dramas, the type young girls favored most.
Of course, even mature women of a certain age would probably like him if they saw him.
All in all, this man would be very popular if thrown into a group of women.
"You are..." Fang Yi took the initiative to speak.
The man smiled lightly and said, "Finally, I get to see the famed Abandoned Dragon. I’m Gai Taiyu; you must have heard of me from Ning Nan."
Fang Yi responded indifferently, "Something you want?"
Gai Taiyu shook his head and said, "Nothing much, just wanted to see the infamous Abandoned Dragon; today’s meeting is quite an eye-opener. I didn’t expect the well-known Abandoned Dragon to be tied up in an apron cooking in the kitchen, really surprising me."
Fang Yi said flatly, "The reason you’re surprised is that your imagination is just too dumb."
But Gai Taiyu didn’t get angry, remaining calm and composed, "From what I know, your current situation isn’t good; you’ve offended too many people here in Tianjing."
"What’s your insight?"
"I’ve assembled a Dragon Guard, lacking a leader. Why don’t you help lead this Dragon Guard, what do you say?" Gai Taiyu said. This was his real purpose.
"Oh?" Fang Yi raised an eyebrow, "So you’re saying, if I become the leader of the guard you assembled, I also have to follow your commands, right?"
Gai Taiyu said, "That’s one way to interpret it."
Fang Yi asked, "Then, what reward can you give me?"
Gai Taiyu countered, "What reward do you want? I can meet your needs to the greatest extent possible."
"In that case, your position in the Dragon Team must be quite high."
"You even don’t regard the Dragon King?"
"Of course not. Regarding my foster father, I hold great respect in my heart," Gai Taiyu replied, not uttering a single disrespectful word toward the Dragon King, even though only the two of them were present.
Gai Taiyu was very prudent.
"Alright, since that’s the case, please get lost, or I’ll report you to the Dragon King," Fang Yi said indifferently.
But Gai Taiyu shook his head, "No, you won’t do that."
