Seeing all the outrage messages on the channel, 3 Dagon laughed heartily, โAre you all very jealous to see me at Deity Yeโs place? Let me tell you, Deity Ye has already agreed to treat me to some Braised Bull Pizzle with Broccoli and Wolfberry. Tsk, tsk, just the thought of that heart shaking fragrance makes me tremble, ah. However, fellow friends. There is no need for you to worry. In a short while, I shall let everyone know what it tastes like.โ
Everyone, โโฆ โฆโ
โ3Dragon, you get out.โ
โLeave! Leave! Leave!โ
โAiya, I really want to punch him in the face, ah.โ
โWhat tell us about the taste? You already know that we all want to taste this dish very much. Youโre just out to tease us, arenโt you?โ
3Dragon nodded agreeably, โThatโs right. I like being able to see you guys being angry at me yet understand that you canโt know what I am tasting or even come beat me up.โ
Most of the people here nearly went crazy at this fellowโs provocation. They all begin to message each other frantically, making plans to come and beat up this guy.
It was at this time that Ye Fei said, โAlright, the Bull Pizzle is just about done. Let us finish the dish, ba.โ
When the rest of the fans heard this, they immediately regained some of their spirit and shifted their attention from 3Dragon to Ye Fei.
โLet me say this first, 3Dragon. If not for the sake of the Bull Pizzle, I would definitely come and beat you up,โ Tasting Everything Under Heavenโs voice suddenly shouted out.
3Dragon, who had just stood up, swayed a little and nearly fall to the floor. He frantically said, โHeaven Bro, youโre really making things difficult for me, ah. In a short while, Iโll definitely give you a good show while eating the Bull Pizzle. Let you taste some enjoyment.โ
At this, 3Dragon floated away, and followed Ye Fei to his kitchen to watch him complete the dish.
Ye Fei has no real secret technique when it comes to cooking. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to do a cooking broadcast. Therefore, he did not object to 3Dragon coming with him.
After pushing the glass door open, Ye Fei entered the kitchen first.
3Dragon sashayed in behind him. However, the moment he stepped into the kitchen, his body stiffened. 3Dragon let out a strange cry, causing everyone to look at him.
โF*ccckkkk!!!โ
Ye Fei jumped.
Everyone within the channel also jumped.
โ3Dragon, whatโs with that horrible scream? You want to shock me to death?โ
โWei, donโt you think this guy is overdoing it?โ
โYi~~ I donโt think so? Brothers, look at his face, ah. 3Dragon did not look like heโs joking with us. He really looked like he had walked into a an invisible wall, or had been shocked by something.โ
โReally, ah. 3Dragon, whatโs going on with you? Heaven Bro, can you ask him for us?โ
Tasting Everything Under Heaven cleared his throat. As the representative of the fans, he must do his duty and voice out what could not be said by the rest.
โ3Dragon, what game are you playing now? Deity Ye is about to start, why are you still stuck at the door?โ
Right now, not a single word from Tasting Everything Under Heavenโs voice actually penetrated 3Dragonโs ears. At this moment, he was entirely shocked, shaken and stirred.
He was a collector of antiques. One could say that he has devoted himself to the study of antiquities for nearly a decade. He could approximate the age and value of many things through sight alone.
Therefore, right when he set foot into Ye Feiโs kitchen, he felt the powerful wind of history blowing towards his face. It was the feeling of grand professionalism.
Later, when he tried to get a closer look at Ye Feiโs kitchen to calm himself down, [1] itโฆ well, it didnโt really work. In fact, the more he looked, the more in awe he was, to the point that he nearly peed himself.
Amazeballs, ah. Is this place a kitchen or a treasure house, ah? What the f*ck is going on with all these high-quality good, ah?
Just then, Ye Fei picked up a blue and white porcelain bowl. He was about to drop some starch in when 3Dragon rushed forward and seized the bowl.
He looked at it several times and declared, โThatโs right, thatโs right, this should be the authentic Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl. Same as the one I saw on the auction block. No, no, this one is of a higher quality. Look at this fine glazing technique, the exquisite filigree and the workmanshipโฆ this bowlโฆ must have been used by high officials or nobles, ah!โ
Ye Fei really had not expect 3Dragon to show his skills like this. His estimation was close to what System had told him about the bowl.
Therefore, he cheerfully said, โEn, it is said that this bowl was used by the emperor.โ
3Dragon, โโฆ โฆโ
This bowl was used by the emperor?
This bowl was used?
This bowl?
This?
Ye Feiโs words crashed through his ears like a thunderclap, bouncing around his head like a continuous echoโฆ
โTh- th- thisโฆ if this bowl is sent to the Harvest Auction House, it could fetch hundreds of millions! In this business, any kind of antiques with any relationship with the emperor would skyrocket, ah!!!!โ
3Dragon was shocked silly. He had not expected to see a Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl used by the emperor at Ye Feiโs place. This was too unbelievable.
3Dragon carefully held on to the bowl. He said, โDeity Ye, have you brought this treasure out to show me?โ
Ye Fei beamed. He took the bowl back and placed it on the kitchen table. Then, he took a bag of starch, tore it open and dumped its content into the bowl until it was half full. โI need it to knead starch.โ
3Dragon, โโฆ โฆ โฆ โฆโ
This fellowโs legs began to tremble. He nearly collapsed to the ground again. Comrade 3Dragon nearly went insane. God in heaven, ah! Th-th-thisโฆ this fellow is really a super brat, ah!
This was a priceless Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl (used by the emperor no less!) and was probably worth hundreds of millions at least, b-b-b-but to think he would use it to knead starch!!?
Aiyooo!! F*ck me!! Deity Yeโฆ youโฆ youโre a real deity, ah, you!!
If this is found out by antique lovers, I guarantee that even if you run away to the ends of the earth, they will chase you down to beat you up!
Right now, Ye Fei had turned on the tap and was filling up another bowl with water.
This time, 3Dragon was pointing at the bowl of water, or rather, the bowl filled with water and said with trembling lips, โTh-th-thisโฆโ
Ye Fei said, โAh, this bowl is a set with that one.โ
3Dragon covered his face, โAiyo, my god in heaven, ah! A pair, a pair?! Youโre saying that youโre using a set pair of priceless Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl (used by the emperor no less!) toโฆ to hold water and starch? I-I-Iโฆ f*ck me, ah!!โ
3Dragon was nearly traumatised to death. What is the value of a set pair of priceless Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl (used by the emperor no less!) [2]? Itโs not a matter of a 1+1 equals 2 thing, ah! Their value could shoot up to beyond double the price, ahh!!!
Ifโฆ if he has to make a comparison, it would be like, like the difference between half a pair of a celebratory couplet [3] and a complete set, ah! A single one could be valuable, but a set pairโs value could triple or quadruple in price, ah!
Orโฆ or a bronze mirror. Thatโs right, a bronze mirror from the correct era could be worth millions or even tens of millions, but a pair, especially if it is a [4] mandarin duck pair, the price would beโฆ it would be priceless, ah!! Who knows how much it would fetch at an open auction? Thatโs too shocking, ah!!
It was one thing for Ye Fei to own two, two sets of priceless Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl (used by the emperor no less!), but to actually cook with these priceless treasures?!
3Dragon felt that his world view had been tilted, everything was chaos.
โItโs just a pair of bowls. I have more in the cabinet. There are a few dozen of them.โ Seeing 3Dragon standing there in a daze, Ye Fei casually jerked his thumb at the cabinet behind him.
โHahh? A few dozen? This kind of blue and white porcelain?โ
Your mom, I came here to eat Bull Pizzle, ah. But now that youโve just told me you have dozens of these special priceless Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl (used by the emperor no less!), I can go without a bowl of Bull Pizzle. Can I have the bowl instead?
3Dragon stared in the direction of Ye Feiโs thumb. He went to the cabinet and opened it with a trembling hand. There, he saw hundreds of porcelain bowls and dishes in different sizes and colours, all neatly arranged. He plopped directly to the floor.
He thought: Brother, ah. Did you go back in time and snatched up the bowls belonging to all the Qing Dynastyโs emperors from the first one to the last? Thatโs too much, ah. Moreover, they were all in set pairs.
Some time later, 3Dragon got up from the ground and turned his numbed head to look at Ye Fei.
Who was currently stirring starch with a pair of chopsticks.
The moment he spotted the chopsticks in Ye Feiโs hands, 3Dragon nearly cried.
โDeity Ye, your chopsticksโฆโ
Ye Fei, โOh, these? Myanmar ivory.โ
โI knew it, I just knew it. I know those chopsticks, ah! That material, that level of carving and polish, itโs absolutely superb, ah.โ
As he muttered to himself, 3Dragonโs eyes shivered. He cast his gaze around, wondering what else Ye Fei has in hand when he spotted the faucet.
3Dragonโs mouth twitched violently. Thatโsโฆ thatโs a Hetian Jade water faucet, ah! What the heck? He had just gifted Deity Ye a Hetian jade ring, thinking that it was quite a face giving gift, but to think that someone would actually use Hetian Jade make a faucetโฆ what the heck, ahhh??!!
Just then, 3Dagon suddenly recalled the cabinet that housed the precious bowls. Wait, wasnโt there something about it? He quickly rushed over and quickly studied the material of cabinet andโฆ 3Dragon collapsed once more.
โSouthern Seas Pear Blossom wood, moreover, itโs the highest grade Pear Blossom wood. My god in heaven, ah. Justโฆ just what exactly does Deity Ye do, ah? Just now, I even introduced myself as a connoisseur of antiques, but nowโฆ I can tell that all of the antiques in my house cannot be compared to Deity Yeโs starch and water bowls, ah!โ
3Dragon was in shocked.
