Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 15: I am not a gentleman, nor do I have a compassionate heart.

"If you can't give me an explanation today, I will report you to the authorities and won't let you off!" The shopkeeper coldly said to Bai Yu.

With his words, several waiters approached with unfriendly expressions.

"Alright!" Bai Yu, however, smiled lightly, showing no fear of the opposing group, and said calmly, "Take me to the kitchen, and I will give you an explanation."

The shopkeeper glanced at the surrounding customers and nodded, "Alright."

Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "Lead the way!"

"Follow me!"

The shopkeeper walked ahead, and Bai Yu didn't forget to bow to the other customers and say, "Enjoy your meal, everyone!"

Then they left with the shopkeeper.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other with curiosity.

Some people even left their seats and followed them to a spot near the kitchen, so they could eat the freshest melons.

...

"Shopkeeper, who insulted our food as pig slop?!"

"We must chop off his neck! Use his head as a wine vessel!"

Just as Bai Yu lifted the curtain with the shopkeeper, a round-headed, thick-necked man walked towards them in anger. He held a kitchen knife and exuded a fiery aura as he cursed fiercely.

To a chef, criticizing their food as tasteless was undoubtedly a mockery and insult.

The shopkeeper pursed his lips and glanced at Bai Yu behind him, saying, "The person has arrived!"

"Is it you?" Looking at this useless scholar, the chef's eyes were about to burst into flames as he cursed fiercely, "You know nothing!"

In his agitated state, without waiting for the shopkeeper to stop him, he raised his fist, intending to punch Bai Yu.

"Don't be hasty!" Bai Yu, however, shook his head, showing no fear of the big and strong chef's fierce punch.

His gaze was sharp as lightning, and his hand was as fast as the wind.

He accurately grabbed the opponent's wrist.

Instantly, it felt like an iron hoop, tightly encircling it.

A tremendous force came, causing the chef's face to turn red.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

This scholar... has such great strength!

"With an impetuous heart, how can one create delicious delicacies?"

Bai Yu lightly raised his palm and threw him off, just smiling and saying.

"You!"

The chef became even angrier.

But hindered by the opponent's strength, he knew he couldn't beat him.

He felt somewhat helpless.

"Come on, make a move against me."

Bai Yu beckoned to him, saying calmly.

Chef: ???

What kind of act is this again?

The not-so-bright chef looked puzzled, constantly seeking help as he looked towards the shopkeeper Li.

"Go ahead."

Although the mysterious Bai Yu was somewhat inscrutable.

But the shopkeeper Li now felt that the other party might not simply be here to cause trouble.

It seems... there is no ill intent.

His expression eased, and he nodded towards the chef.

"Hmph!"

"What do you want me to do?"

The chef snorted coldly, following Bai Yu.

"I'll have you do whatever I want you to do!"

Bai Yu held the spatula, smiling brightly.

"Tsk..."

The chef pursed his lips. "A poor scholar, do you even know how to cook? You all keep saying, 'A gentleman stays away from the kitchen,' but when it's time to eat, you're all so enthusiastic..."

Bai Yu smiled. "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen because a gentleman has a compassionate heart and cannot bear to see animals being slaughtered, so they stay away from the kitchen... It doesn't mean they don't know how to cook."

"Heh, can't bear to see animals being killed, but do gentlemen eat meat?"

"They do!"

"Then gentlemen are truly hypocritical!"

Bai Yu didn't refute anything, but nodded with a smile: "Indeed."

"So I am not a gentleman, nor do I have any sympathy for animals being killed. If it tastes good... then it should be killed~"

Cook: ...

Never seen such a person before.

"Scholars are good at talking."

He muttered, still disdainful on his face.

However, as time passed,

Gradually, the anger and disdain on his face began to disappear,

Replaced by a look of astonishment.

"What... what... what is this?"

Meanwhile,

"Sss! It smells so good~"

"What dish is this?"

"Waiter, come here, serve me this dish!"

"It looks like lamb, but I've never smelled this kind of taste before!"

"So fragrant!"

...

The rich aroma wafted from the kitchen,

For a moment,

The few diners sitting near the kitchen couldn't help but sniff,

Their eyes widened, constantly amazed.

A novel fragrance,

A feeling they had never experienced before, a delicious feeling.

"What... what is this?"

A plate of lamb sprinkled with some unknown seasoning came out of the kitchen.

The cook and the innkeeper no longer had the previous anger on their faces,

Just widened their eyes, looking at this seemingly ordinary dish in front of them.

"Come, taste it, how is it?"

Bai Yu pointed to the plate of cumin lamb he made, asking with a smile.

In ancient times, it definitely couldn't compare to the present,

Just adding a little salt for seasoning in a meal was already quite good.

Not to mention all sorts of messy spices and seasonings.

Even if there are, they are kept as secret recipes by many restaurants.

Even the emperor may not necessarily eat well.

Bai Yu, with nothing better to do, has also studied these things,

and has found some undiscovered spices like cumin and Sichuan pepper.

Not to say they are delicious,

but sometimes they can indeed add a lot of color to the dishes.

For ancient people who have never eaten them before, it is even more mind-blowing.

For example, the two people in front of us right now.

The shopkeeper took a few bites, chewed carefully, and widened his eyes.

The cook couldn't bear it and swallowed it whole, then looked at Bai Yu with excitement on his face.

"How about it, do I have the right to criticize your food as being bad?"

Bai Yu asked with a smile.

"Why has the distinguished guest come to our humble shop?"

The shopkeeper's face at this moment was no longer as cold and gloomy as before.

He asked Bai Yu with great respect.

Bai Yu's dishes are indeed delicious, but their dishes are not bad either.

The reason why the other party is like this,

perhaps... the old man's intention is not in the wine!

But at this moment, Bai Yu just needs an opportunity to talk.

The shopkeeper realized

that this mysterious young man might be his chance.
