The chapter in the evening is here, everyone is welcome to collect it and vote——
Cha Ji smiled bitterly and said, "What can an old man like me do to you with the tendons of both hands severed?"
Nian Bing looked at Cha Ji, the fear in his eyes weakened a bit, and asked tentatively: "Grandpa, why are your hands like this?"
Cha Ji took Nian Bing and sat down, sighed sadly, and said, "Listen to grandpa telling you a story. A story that happened to me. After listening to it, you will understand why you think I am in your body."
I will be so excited when I see magic appear." At this point, he looked at the deep darkness outside the door, and the look in his eyes gradually became hazy.
"Our Yangon continent, after nearly three hundred years of war, about seventy years ago, the entire continent entered a stable stage. Five empires gradually formed and divided the entire continent. Except for some special places
, all the land has been drawn into their own territory by the five empires. After three hundred years of war, people need to recuperate and recuperate. In the past few decades, various industries and agriculture have been developed. Although the five empires occasionally have disputes, they are still in peace.
Nothing."
Nian Bing nodded and said: "The five empires you are talking about are the Oran Empire in the east, the Qilu Empire in the southeast, the Huarong Empire in the southwest, the Langmu Empire in the northwest, and the Ice Moon Empire in the north."
Chaji nodded and said: "Yes, these are the five empires. I was born in the Chilu Empire in the southeast. When I was a child, my family was very poor and could not even eat fine grains. I remember that I once asked my mother when I could eat steamed buns.
When I was full, my mother hugged me and cried. I still remember it clearly to this day. At that time, my biggest wish was to eat delicious food every day and to cook the best meals for my mother. Later, I have been moving towards this
I kept working hard towards my goal, but unfortunately, my parents died in a plague before I was able to support them. Maybe God had mercy on me. When I was thirteen years old, I met my master
At that time, because my family was poor, I was sent to a restaurant as an apprentice at a very young age. That was what I wanted most. My master was the chef of that restaurant. In order to learn the cooking skills I longed for,
I am very diligent and please everyone in the restaurant. Our restaurant is called Qixiang, which is one of the most famous restaurants in the Qilu Empire. The master saw that I was quite diligent and started to teach me some simple skills.
I am not very smart when it comes to cooking, but I am very hard-working. Diligence makes up for laziness. After three years of unremitting efforts, I was finally promoted from a handyman to a side dish. One day, the chef called me to a quiet place.
He told me that if I want to learn cooking skills well, hard work alone is not enough. You also need to be savvy and feel the food you cook with your heart. Cooking is not a simple job, but a profound knowledge. He taught
I have eight words to complete, which are ten years to practice cooking and ten years to understand cooking. I still remember these eight words to this day. After continuous hard work and understanding, when I was twenty-three years old, I learned how to cook.
My art finally embarked on the road to success, but my master passed away due to illness that year. I always kept in mind my master's eight-character advice, so I gave up the opportunity to inherit the position of master in Qixiang Hotel and resigned from all positions.
, I took my kitchen knife and my meager savings and embarked on my own journey. I want to travel all over the Yangon continent to learn the cooking skills of every country and every region."
At this point, Cha Ji's eyes shone brightly, and he seemed to have returned to his original glory. He sighed: "Ten years, another ten years, the ten years that really allowed me to understand the true meaning of cooking. In these ten years,
I visited almost all famous restaurants and competed with the chefs in each restaurant. After my own understanding, I finally created my own special skills. Later, because my cooking skills had reached the level of uncanny craftsmanship,
That’s why people gave me the nickname Ghost Chef. I won five consecutive championships in five consecutive Master of Kitchen competitions. The dishes I cooked became a symbol of the time. The palaces of the five empires all threw their hats at me.
However, I always felt that my cooking skills were not superb enough, so I continued to explore, hoping to improve my skills to a higher level.
It is a wonderful feeling to make progress in the field of continuous exploration, especially when every time I make a delicious dish, the sense of accomplishment is incomparable to anything. I will devote my whole life to
Even though I had cooking skills, I still didn’t get married until I was forty-seven."
At this point, Cha Ji paused, looked at Nian Bing who was listening to his story attentively, smiled slightly, and said, "You never expected that this bad old man like me still has a glorious side."
Nian Bing was stunned for a moment. Although what Cha Ji said was very plain, he could still detect with his keen senses that there was a deep sadness in Grandpa Cha's tone, "Grandpa, what happened next? What happened next?
How are you doing?"
Cha Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Later, to be honest, I really don't want to recall everything that happened at that time, but now I have to remember it. When I was forty-seven years old, it was an important turning point in my life.
It was also the year that I fell from the clouds. Perhaps it was because I had not experienced anything like love in my life for more than forty years. That year, I fell madly in love with a woman. She was so beautiful, so lively and cheerful,
Her every move, every frown and every smile made my heart tremble. At that time, she was only twenty-four years old, and I was twice as old as her, but I still fell in love with her without looking back.
I met her. She was also a chef, but she was a completely different chef from me. She only made some exquisite desserts and worked as a pastry chef in a restaurant at that time. That restaurant was also the one where I stayed the longest.
.After thinking for a long time, I decided to express my inner emotions to her. Although I didn’t expect her to accept it, I still wanted to express my inner thoughts.”
Nian Bing asked: "Then did she accept it?"
Cha Ji shook his head and said: "She didn't say she accepted it, nor did she say she wouldn't accept it. After hearing my expression of feelings, she made a condition. She wanted to compete with me in cooking skills. If I win, she will marry me.
As a wife, if I lose, I must quit the cooking world, and all the reputation I have will belong to her."
Nian Bing frowned, with a strange look on his handsome face, "Grandpa, I think you were taken advantage of by her. She knew you were the strongest chef and yet she dared to make such a request. She must be somewhat confident.
What’s more, she obviously has no good intentions when she makes such a request. How could she really marry you?"
Chaji smiled, "What a smart kid. Yes, I was indeed taken advantage of by her, but at that time, I was already carried away by my feelings, and I agreed without much thinking. After all,
Standing at the top of the culinary world for many years has given me an indescribable arrogance. At that time, I had not tried my cooking skills with anyone for a long time because no one would challenge me. Even in the Master of Chef competition,
I was only a judge. Since she wanted to compete with me on what I was best at, I naturally had no reason not to agree. So, a competition began that I can’t forget even now.”
After a pause, Zha Jici continued: "In order to convince her, I decided to make six of my best dishes. We invited eighteen of the most famous chefs in the culinary world to judge us. I
My cooking skills have reached the level of proficiency. Six complicated famous dishes were completed in my hands in only an hour. Years of understanding of cooking skills have made me extremely satisfied with the dishes I made.
They were almost alive. But the strange thing was that she did not move in front of a pile of ingredients. When I finished the six dishes and looked at her, she said to me: You make so many, I will only make one.
Dishes are fine, and one of them is enough. As she spoke, she moved, without fancy movements or skillful knife skills. She simply picked up a piece of meat, quickly threw it into the air, and used a strange
Singing something in his tone, a blue flame shot up into the sky and engulfed the piece of meat. The white knife light flashed in the air. When the meat strip fell on the plate, it had turned into thirteen sections, flickering.
She was wearing a golden thirteenth paragraph. It was not until then that I knew that she was actually a magician, and an extremely powerful fire magician. Despite this, I still thought I had won, after all, she only had
One dish, but I had six. Judging from the appearance, color and aroma, she was far behind. However, I soon realized that I was wrong. When I tasted the golden meat strips, I felt like
An unprecedented feeling filled my palate. The meat strips had not been processed in any way, and no seasoning was added during the production process. However, she completely released the aroma in the meat strips. Thirteen meat strips, although
There are no familiar flavors such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. However, each strip of meat is divided into thirteen parts, with thirteen different flavors. The aroma brought by the mixture of these thirteen flavors is better than any other.
The dishes with all the ingredients were so delicious. When I took a bite, I knew that I had lost, and lost miserably. Although in terms of taste, my six dishes would never be as good as hers.
The standard is poor, but my cooking skills are inferior to hers. Not only because of speed, but more importantly, because of innovation."
