Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 601 - 33: Even the Buddhist Deer is No Longer Calm_3
Tang Xian thought it made perfect sense for the white deer to want to eat fish, but he hadn't imagined it would be so particular.
Before they met him, Qing JiuYu and Bai Mansheng, considered two peerless beauties in the Myriad Beasts Realm, were not particular about eating meat either.
So, Tang Xian was very curious, wondering why the white deer knew so much.
It demanded the freshest fish from the river and the water from the glaciers. This was as particular as the ancients brewing tea with dew collected at dawn's first light.
The white deer's explanation was more normal:
[What's it to you?]
Unconcerned, Tang Xian said:
"I know how to prepare many kinds of fish dishes, but I lack the main ingredients and seasonings, what a pity. Otherwise, I guarantee that you would taste the finest cuisine in the world."
[An amateur's performance before a master.]
Tang Xian was startled, having thought he could attract the white deer, but it showed no interest whatsoever.
The disdain in Bai Shuang's eyes was not feigned but the sort a gourmet used to top-tier ingredients would have for a third-rate chef.
Suddenly, Tang Xian thought, if he were such a white deer, with endless years of life, perhaps having wandered the world for centuries or even longer.
With no internet, no one to talk to, no magnetic match, a life of guarding something and aimless wandering—
Wouldn't he also study how to enjoy food?
If he was facing a master with hundreds of years of culinary experience—then indeed, his little skill would be an "amateur's performance before a master."
It was only because he lived in an era where cooking was not given adequate importance. In ancient times, Tang Xian was well aware of his place.
"How about you cook a dish then, senior? I can assist you?"

These words came out subconsciously, and after Tang Xian spoke, he suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
For the first time, the white deer seemed somewhat hesitant.
Tang Xian understood that look all too well, entering a state attuned to subtleties:
"You've mastered the human art of cooking and studied it to the pinnacle, but it's truly a pity to have no one to share it with, isn't it? After all, the meaning of cooking is amplified when others find it delicious."
Tang Xian spoke from the heart.
The beginning of this entire adventure was precisely due to his love for sharing delicious food. Thus, Dong Ran, who should have been turned away as mere merchandise, was allowed in by Tang Xian.
Back in the mining village newbie area, Tang Xian loved to incessantly discuss food with the old miners, but no one cared.
He understood this feeling all too well. Perhaps Bai Shuang felt the same, or even more so.
As expected, after hesitating for a few seconds, the white deer didn't repeat expressions like "Oh", "I'm pleased", "What's it to you" and the like. Instead, it spoke with doubt:
"Do you really understand cooking?"
"At the very least, I know what makes a dish delicious. I am the best chef in our village."
Observing the white deer unconsciously nodding its head, Tang Xian thought to himself that this was going well, the deer indeed had a weakness!
Only Ju Mang was confused; the conversation between the man and the deer had shifted too quickly, hadn't it? How had they suddenly started talking about food?
Though, to be fair, they hadn't been satisfied with their meal just before.
Tang Xian was also looking forward to it, not only because he had found a topic that interested the white deer, but also as a Gourmet, he was very eager to taste the master's culinary skills.
He suddenly understood the advantages of the white deer's abilities.
If space held no constraint on it, perhaps it could dig up some snow fish under the Arctic glaciers today and be in Brazil, South America, to enjoy some Brazilian grapes tomorrow.
One second it might be drinking the clearest water in the world from a Glacial Barrier Lake, and the next, it would be on the other side of the Earth, savoring the most expensive and rare finger limes on the Australian Continent.
Such an entity, if it decided to show off its skills, would certainly let one taste the ultimate in culinary delights.
