"Old goat, live carp, very good, the main ingredients are all prepared." Zhang Bairen looked at the ingredients in the yard and drew the black iron cleaver he always carried with him.

"Among the top ten martial arts, there is no other sword technique!"

With a single slash, the clouds parted from the blue sky; with another, a sudden gust of wind and rain swept across the land, instantly slaughtering two old goats.

After slaughtering the goat, Zhang Bairen did not stop, but instead seized the time to skin, bleed, debone, and clean the internal organs.

The blade flashed, like the cold moonlight, and the complete sheepskin was peeled off cleanly and efficiently, without taking away a single piece of flesh.

Then, the qigong was unleashed, and blood gushed out, falling into a large basin beside it.

Immediately afterwards, his hands became invisible, and the sharp blades flashed with cold light. In the blink of an eye, the skeletons of the two goats were completely separated.

The goat's internal organs were also transferred to another large basin before the deboning process began.

This scene can only be described as miraculous.

Even the legendary butcher Ding could not achieve such skill.

The prepared goat was placed aside, and a large basin of carp was brought over by the other person.

With a single palm strike to the ground, the carp flew into the air. Looking at the dozens of fresh carp and the crystal-clear water, Zhang Bairen's cleaver transformed into lightning, cleaning the fish scales and internal organs at the speed of light.

After the carp landed, they were neatly arranged on the cutting board.

"The fish and mutton are ready. Start the pot and add the ingredients!"

Fish, mutton, and seasonings were added to the bronze cauldron, which was so large that it would take several people to encircle it. Soon, an extremely unpleasant fishy and muttony smell wafted out of the cauldron.

This fishy, ​​pungent smell is comparable to the taste of a Devil Fruit when swallowed; even just smelling it can cause stomach acid to churn and make one want to vomit.

Zhang Bairen shut down his sense of taste and smell and personally covered the bronze cauldron with its lid.

Beneath the large cauldron, the fire roared, and from the small hole in the cauldron lid wafted an increasingly pungent and strange odor.

Zhang Bairen checked the heat and added lamb bones and medicinal herbs.

Then, the fire in the furnace is heated up again, making the boiling reaction inside the cauldron even more intense.

Throughout the night, the lid of the cauldron was not opened once more; it was simply heated up continuously.

Some of the fishy and muttony smell inside the cauldron evaporated with the steam, but most of the smell remained inside.

"When things reach their extremes, they reverse; yin and yang must be balanced. After simmering overnight, all the fishy and gamey smells in the fish and mutton have been extracted."

Next, the moment you open the lid, it will release the most intense fishy and muttony smell.

And then, there's the most delicious flavor in the world!

Zhang Bairen already had the answer in his heart.

The next day, a large number of onlookers gathered outside the newly opened "Number One Restaurant Under Heaven".

Even the nearby Yangquan Restaurant had heard about the change of ownership of Sijilou.

"Buy the Four Seasons Building and rename it the Number One Building Under Heaven."

"Bai Ren, that's very much like your style of doing things!" Master Shi Quan stroked his beard and revealed a kind smile.

"Dudu, I heard that the Four Seasons Pavilion has been bought and renamed the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven."

Today, there is also a dish that is known as the best in the world, which everyone can try for free.

"If you have nothing else to do now, why don't you come with me to take a look?" Master Shiquan said.

“Okay, I understand,” a red-haired girl replied in a lively voice.

This is Zhang Bairen's childhood sweetheart, and also the daughter of the head chef of Yangquan Restaurant.

She still doesn't know the specifics of Zhang Bairen's situation.

Hearing the rooster crowing in his ear, Zhang Bairen, who hadn't slept all night, had his clone open the restaurant door.

Then, he transformed his clone into a burly man, carrying a large cauldron and a stove, and arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.

The onlookers quickly asked, "Hey buddy, is this the number one dish at your Tianxia Diyi Lou restaurant?"

“That’s right, this is the most delicious soup in the world, or you could call it the most delicious soup in the world!” Zhang Bairen stepped forward and answered confidently.

"Wow! You guys are really confident!!"

"Is this the young owner who bought the Four Seasons Restaurant?"

"I'm really looking forward to it. Just how delicious will this soup, which is known as the best in the world, be?"

······

Zhang Bairen smiled slightly and then greeted them, "Distinguished guests, please come in."

When you open the lid later, there will be a very unpleasant fishy or muttony smell, so please pinch your nose and don't let it make you vomit.

"Ah!? The best soup in the world actually has a fishy and gamey smell!?"

"What kind of weird dish is this? Is it like stinky tofu?"

"You know what, I could actually smell a fishy, ​​gamey odor. Ugh!"

Just as everyone was discussing, the fishy and pungent smell coming from the vent caused several people to vomit.

Some bystanders, unaware of the situation, quickly covered their noses and fled.

Zhang Bairen was not surprised, because the smell was indeed very unbearable.

A few minutes later, Master Shiquan brought Dudu to the vicinity of the No. 1 Restaurant in the World.

Sniff, sniff.

Master Shiquan's nose twitched slightly as he smelled the fishy, ​​pungent odor in the air.

Dudu pinched his nose and stuck out his tongue.

"Master, what's that smell? Let's get out of here quickly," Dudu urged.

At this moment, Master Shiquan's expression was extremely solemn.

"No, let's keep going."

"This surprise almost made me fall for their trick!" Master Shiquan said, pinching his nose as well.

"That kid, he's always doing all this fancy stuff!"

With a sarcastic remark, a smile appeared on Master Shiquan's face.

"Huh!? The further we go, the stronger the fishy smell gets!" They were all puzzled, but they couldn't disobey Master Shiquan's orders.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the No. 1 Restaurant in the World.

Zhang Bairen manipulated his clone to lift the lid of the bronze cauldron.

"Everyone, quickly plug your noses, the big one is coming!"

"Oh no, this is bad!" Master Shiquan quickly covered his mouth and nose, and also covered Dudu's mouth and nose.

The moment the lid of the cauldron was lifted, the pungent, fishy smell that had accumulated inside burst forth.

The terrifying gas transformed into a venomous dragon, causing everyone around to display expressions of utter shock and horror.

Zhang Bairen waved his hand, and immediately several burly men climbed the stairs and added a lot of water to the cauldron.

By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).

As clear water was poured in, the black venomous dragon transformed into a white dragon, and an extremely fresh aroma wafted out from the cauldron.

Zhang Bairen used his qigong to instantly raise the temperature of the flames. The white dragon at the mouth of the cauldron emitted a dazzling golden light, and even the white clouds in the sky were dyed gold by the golden light.

And so, a perfectly delicious soup was born!

At this moment, all the onlookers who had not yet escaped showed expressions of disbelief.

What happened? How is this possible?

What was originally a pot of poison has somehow turned into a delicious dish!?

Is this a miracle?

Master Shiquan released his mouth and nose and took a deep breath.

Then, he revealed an expression of extreme ecstasy.

"Ah, he's alive!"

"It's so delicious! I've never had such a profound understanding of the word 'delicious' before!"

"I felt as if I had transformed into a divine dragon, soaring through the sky and roaming the deep sea!"

"It's fresh, sweet, and fragrant; its umami flavor alone makes it the best in the world!"

"It's Brother Bairen, Master! Look, it's Brother Bairen!" Dudu tugged at Master Shiquan's sleeve, jumping and skipping with joy.

"Hehe, I see. Let's go, let's go get a bowl of soup first," Master Shiquan said with a smile.

"Young boss, congratulations on your grand opening."

"I wonder if this old man will have the honor of tasting the first bowl of your world's finest soup?" Master Shiquan asked.
