Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 471 Stone Pot Bibimbap

It wasn’t until Yang Jian apologized to him that Chen Nuo’s mood improved a little. He didn’t say much, just nodded his head, "These two dishes are the only tricky ones, you can do the rest by yourselves, I’ll be leaving now. Call me if there are any problems."

Seeing Chen Nuo about to leave, Yang Chan got a little anxious and stomped hard on Yang Jian’s foot under the table. Yang Jian winced in pain and quickly said, "Wait a moment, Shopkeeper Chen."

Chen Nuo turned around, "What’s the matter, is there a problem?"

"Uh, it’s just that we, we still don’t know much about how to eat many of these dishes." Yang Jian was not good at lying and was trying to think of a way to cover up, "Do you have other things to attend to later?"

Chen Nuo thought for a moment. Although he did have many things to take care of, it was already evening, and even if he had to be busy, it wouldn’t be right now. So he shook his head, "I don’t have anything else today."

"Then why don’t you sit down and eat with us, Shopkeeper Chen? You surely know more ways to enjoy this stone pot bbq than we do. If we eat it on our own, we might not appreciate the specialties of the dish," Yang Jian suggested.

He wasn’t very familiar with the Yang siblings and didn’t really want to sit down and eat with them, especially knowing that Yang Chan had a crush on him.

Seeing Chen Nuo hesitating, Yang Chan really got anxious and hurriedly pressed, "Well, my brother will handle the barbecuing, you just have to sit down and eat. If there’s anything we’re doing wrong, you can just give us some pointers, okay?"

As Yang Chan insisted, Chen Nuo naturally had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and sat down, "Alright then, since you insist, it would be rude of me to keep refusing. I’ll sit down and join you."

As soon as Chen Nuo sat down, Yang Chan straightened up. She looked at the dishes on the table and focused her attention on the duck intestines, "Shopkeeper Chen, what’s the best way to eat these duck intestines?"

"Ah, the duck intestines, just put them straight in. How you cook them is up to personal taste. If you like them well done, just wait until both sides turn golden brown," Chen Nuo instructed.

Yang Chan did as Chen Nuo instructed and poured the duck intestines into the pot, while Chen Nuo timely whisked away the smoke.

He watched the smoke being drawn away and thought, if this were delivery, and someone ordered stone pot bbq, would they also need to send a smoke extractor? But he didn’t have many of these Magic Artifacts at hand, and if there were more than three customers ordering at the same time, he might run out.

Yang Chan, unaware of what Chen Nuo was thinking, just felt that his actions were very considerate, and her fondness for him grew.

"Ding! Host, it seems like you need service right now. Hearing your difficulty, the system immediately responded."

If he weren’t dining with the Yang siblings at the moment, Chen Nuo would have rolled his eyes, "Since when were you ever this timely?"

"What do you mean, host? The response time is already pretty fast, okay? It’s just that it might be a bit slower when things get busy," the system replied.

"Busy?" Chen Nuo chuckled to himself, "The devil’s stepmother."

There was silence on the other end for a while before it chose to remain quiet.

Now wasn’t the time to use the system’s services, and Chen Nuo didn’t bother to call it out again.

By this time, the duck intestines were starting to give off a burnt smell, and Chen Nuo, realizing something was wrong, quickly grabbed the tongs and flipped them over.

"You can’t just put the food in and forget about it, you have to turn it over. The pot is fully heated, so if you don’t flip them, they’re likely to burn," Chen Nuo warned.

Yang Chan’s cheeks turned red as she nodded rapidly, "Sorry, I didn’t know they needed to be turned over." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

She clearly had no clue about cooking, and Chen Nuo could understand, "The person you should be apologizing to isn’t me, it’s your brother. After all, my job was just to give a few pointers, the main people eating the food are the two of you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian’s sister-complex radar went off, and he quickly waved his hands, "Chan’er, you don’t need to say that, it’s fine. Even if it’s burnt, I’d still love to eat it."

Yang Chan, hearing her brother say this, stepped on Yang Jian’s foot before leaving.

After eating for a while, because the taste was so good, and even though meat made up the bulk of the meal, the Yang siblings still cleaned their plates. Chen Nuo then asked them, "Have you two eaten your fill?"

"What kind of question is that, Shopkeeper Chen? As long as we’re eating at your place, we never have enough. When we get back, we’ll be sure to make a reservation for next time. By then, we’ll know how this dish should be eaten."

Although Yang Chan said this, she was actually already quite full.

The dish was delicious and the portions were large. Moreover, her appetite wasn’t very big to begin with. The reason she could eat so much was all thanks to how delicious Chen Nuo’s dishes were.

Yang Jian had a larger appetite, but this meal was particularly pleasing to him. In the past, he could only eat one dish which was hardly enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. Now, one dish could offer such a variety, and it was indeed very worthwhile.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Shopkeeper Chen. Is this dish a new addition to your menu? Once we’re back, I will definitely tell the other customers about it."

The Yang siblings had already started talking about leaving, but Chen Nuo just remembered that he hadn’t yet made the most common stone pot mixed rice, and wondered if they wanted to try it.

"It’s a pity, I was going to let you taste the stone pot mixed rice. Since it’s also made in a stone pot, this would be an added staple. It seems you’ve had enough, so maybe next time..."

As Chen Nuo was speaking regretfully and hadn’t finished his sentence, he looked up to see the siblings, who had just stood up, seating themselves back down, "What’s this about?"

"It turns out there’s another way to make this stone pot dish. I’ve just used my mana to digest a good portion of what we ate earlier, so now we can try the stone pot mixed rice you just mentioned."

Seeing them seated, Chen Nuo had no choice but to telepathically ask the Roc Demon King to send over some rice and spicy sauce oil.

Chen Nuo cleaned the stone pot with his cleansing skills and poured in the rice. He then added the leftover onion and chives into the pot to stir-fry them.

After the rice was heated through, he cracked an egg on top, squeezed on the spicy sauce, and poured over the fragrant oil. With that, the stone pot mixed rice was ready.

Chen Nuo took out two spoons from the tray provided by the Roc Demon King and handed them to the Yang siblings, "Okay, this is a staple dish. Give it a try. Actually, there are stone pots dedicated for making stone pot mixed rice, but I didn’t think of that earlier. Consider this staple dish a gift from me. Give it a taste."

Yang Chan stirred the rice evenly with her spoon. Not only was there spicy sauce on the rice, but the grains that had stuck to the side of the pot had also formed a crispy crust. When she put it in her mouth, the crispness was delightful.

The aroma of the spicy sauce and fragrant oil made the rice even more delicious, the seasoning was just right – neither too salty nor too bland, just perfect.

Yang Jian saw his sister enjoying the rice so much that he scooped up a mouthful for himself, and he was astonished once he tasted it.

The rice was incredibly delicious! It was hard to believe that it was just a simple bowl of rice.

The flavors of the spicy sauce and the fragrant oil were strong, but they did not overpower the natural rice aroma. Plus, the unique texture of the egg made it simply irresistible!

It was fortunate that he had used his mana to make room in his stomach earlier, otherwise there would be no place for this stone pot mixed rice.

To not eat the stone pot mixed rice would indeed have been a great pity.
