Long Spirit felt the heat in Nian Bing's big hand, "Do you only have cooking skills and magic in your heart?"
Nian Bing nodded and said: "Yes, in my heart there are only cooking skills and magic. Everything else can be filtered. I must focus my mind to achieve something."
Long Ling sighed softly, holding back her tears. She did not blame Nian Bing. After all, everyone's pursuit is different. A girl's biggest pursuit in life is undoubtedly to find a good home.
But men are different. Some people prefer to live in a corner, while others are destined to be extraordinary. Nian Bing is obviously the latter. He has too many ideals and pursuits.
Long Ling left, and Nian Bing felt uncomfortable. He looked at the bookshelves around him with some annoyance. It was not a comfortable thing to reject a gentle and beautiful girl. Just when he was in a state of confusion, the thought in his mind
Suddenly a desperate look flashed across his face, and Nian Bing's whole body trembled, and he lost his voice: "Mom, Mom, I was wrong, I shouldn't worry about these things. The Ice God Tower is my goal!" That desperate look
What made his memory so profound was that it was his mother's last gaze. Nian Bing took a deep breath, and all the chaotic thoughts in his heart disappeared. He sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
From morning to noon, and then from noon to evening, after a whole day of practice, Nian Bing woke up from meditation. The magic power of ice and fire became more solid. Although the progress was very slow, they were still running.
Calmly, the ingenious vortexes are organically combined, and their breaths are connected but never conflict. This is the power of the same source of ice and fire. I looked up at the sky outside. At this time, the skylight had gradually dimmed. Book
The magic lamp in the museum is about to be turned on. Nian Bing took out a double fourth-level magic scroll from his arms. This scroll is his most proud work so far. He slowly opened the scroll and injected blue magic power into it.
, without any hesitation, the light blue light intertwined on the scroll, the blue light kept flashing, every line was so wonderful, without any pause, interweaving and interlacing in the original magic circle of the scroll, perfect
The work was gradually completed in Nian Bing's hands. The feeling of mental power made Nian Bing clearly know that the scroll in his hand already had the effect of triggering. A night of research and a day of meditation had enabled him to truly master it.
However, Nian Bing knew very well that his success was very lucky. As the notes said, this triggering circle was extremely difficult to complete. Even if he had figured out its principle, he had almost missed it several times before.
Missed.
He stood up, carefully put the scroll into his arms, picked up the long lead box from the ground, briefly arranged his appearance, and quietly left the library.
Long Ling didn't show up except for bringing him a meal at noon. Nian Bing knew that although she didn't say it, he had deeply hurt her heart. It was better not to see him, so as not to sink too deeply.
As soon as he walked out of the Magician's Guild, a carriage came to Nian Bing. The driver Nian Bing had seen was the old carriage driver when he and Xue Jing went to Luo Rou's house for a banquet. Xue Jing stepped out of the carriage
Zhong poked his head out and said, "Chef, get in the car, dad asked me to pick you up. I've been waiting for you for half an hour, you are really slow!"
Nian Bing secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. It was really a wave of ups and downs. Long Ling had already understood his intention, but this crazy girl was not so easy to dismiss. I hope she would hate herself more. Unfortunately, she likes Yan
Feng turned out to be a swallow, otherwise he could have set up a match, and Xue Jing would not have to focus on herself. "If Miss Xuejing comes to pick me up in person, Nian Bing really doesn't dare to accept it!" Although he said so
, but he still pedaled up.
Xue Jing sat next to Nian Bing, with a sweet smile on her face, "Don't dare to take it seriously, when did you become so polite? Isn't it time for you to bully me?"
Nian Bing smiled bitterly and said: "Have I not explained everything clearly? Miss Xue Jing, can you let me go? There is no hatred between us."
Xue Jing smiled slightly and said: "Let you go! Then I have to think about it. However, we need to change the names between us first. I already call you by your first name, and you call my father uncle. From now on,
Just call me Jing'er or Jingjing. We are friends, so you won't refuse such a small request. I see that you are very friendly when you call me Ling'er!"
Nian Bing didn't want to be entangled anymore and said quickly: "Okay, I just agree. Jingjing, there is no need to send a car to pick me up from now on. I can walk there by myself and I can also stretch my muscles."
Xue Jing chuckled and said, "Do you want to stretch your muscles? There will be time for you to exercise in the evening." As soon as the words came out, she immediately felt something was wrong, and she suddenly blushed.
Nian Bing pretended not to understand and said: "Move your muscles and bones? My uncle won't give me any problems tonight, right?"
Xue Jing stuck out her cute little tongue and said: "It's not really a problem. My father just invited the owner of Dachengxuan opposite to be a guest. By the way, he sent them a challenge post."
Nian Bing's eyes lit up, "Do you want to challenge the chef of Dachengxuan? Okay, this is what I'm looking forward to." A strong fighting spirit burst out from Nian Bing. On the somewhat dim carriage, his eyes were like
Like cold stars in the dark night, shining with confidence. He placed the box containing the Aotian Knife flat on his lap, "Today is just the right time for me to try this knife."
Feeling the cold aura on Nian Bing's body, Xue Jing's heart fluctuated. She was so confident! Originally, she thought that Nian Bing would embarrass him because of the challenge arranged by Xueji, but she didn't expect that Nian Bing would agree so easily.
, and she seemed very excited. Of course she didn't understand the heart of a top master in the culinary world. The feeling of having a hard-to-find opponent was the most painful. With the opportunity, how could Nian Bing not be excited? He originally chose No. 1
The reason for coming to Ice and Snow City is to compete with the cooking masters from Qingfengzhai and Dachengxuan!
"You seem to be very confident in yourself!" Xue Jing looked at Nian Bing, her heart swaying.
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Don't you have confidence in me? Does the chef of Dachengxuan have any special abilities? I think that if he can compete with Qingfengzhai, his ability should not be inferior to Master Ming."
Xue Jing nodded and said: "Of course there is a reason why Dachengxuan has become the favorite place of dignitaries. It is not only because they have some special services, but the main reason is the taste of the dishes. Their chefs
He is very young, probably only in his thirties, and his apprenticeship is unknown. Uncle Ming once competed with him, and the result was a draw. That guy seemed to be better at cooking various meat dishes. I have to admit that he made
The dishes are better than Uncle Ming's in terms of color and aroma, but the taste is a little heavier."
Nian Bing nodded and said: "Listen to what you said, that chef should take the gorgeous route. Gorgeous dishes mainly focus on color and aroma. Well, I will compete with him today to see who makes it.
The dishes are more gorgeous. Jing'er, have you seen Yan Feng recently?"
Xue Jing was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly discovered that since she fell in love with Nian Bing, the name Yan Feng had never appeared in her mind, "Is it him? I haven't seen him recently. I'm very strange, why were you the first one that day?
Will he treat you as a friend the first time we meet? Judging from his character, it seems that he is not that easy to get close to."
Nian Bing thought of the way Yan Feng looked at him, and felt a chill in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said, "Jing'er, let me give you a suggestion. You'd better give up on him. There won't be any results between you and him."
Xue Jing asked curiously: "Why do you say that? Are you jealous that I like him?"
"Jealous?" Nian Bing said with a smile: "This word seems to have never appeared in my mind. I am doing it for your own good. It is not my style to gossip behind people's back. You will understand in the future."
Xue Jing snorted and said, "Everything should be said to others. If you don't explain it clearly, then I can only think that you are jealous."
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "Then let's just say I'm jealous. After all, you are so beautiful, so even if I'm jealous, it's natural."
When the carriage stopped at the entrance of Qingfengzhai, Nian Bing was surprised to find that the street was surprisingly quiet. He got off the carriage with Xue Jing. He was surprised to find that there was not even a single person on this most prosperous street in the Ice and Snow City.
Xue Jing smiled and said: "For today's competition, Dad specially invited the city lord and several people with status to be the judges. Dachengxuan and Qingfengzhai are temporarily closed, and the streets have been blocked by officers and soldiers."
Nian Bing said in surprise: "There's no need to do it in such a big way. The turnover of Qingfengzhai and Dachengxuan should be quite a lot in a day. Aren't we afraid of losses if we close down for such a simple competition?"
Xue Jing said: "You don't understand this. No matter whether we win or Dachengxuan wins, we will immediately overwhelm the other party and become the number one hotel in the entire ice and snow city. How about the benefits that this honor can bring?
Can one day's turnover be comparable? I don't know how long Dachengxuan has been waiting for this opportunity. Their boss has proposed to his father many times that he wants to have such a competition, but he has always rejected it. Dachengxuan
After all, the famous chef is young. Uncle Ming once said that within three years, he will surpass him. Therefore, in order to protect the reputation of Qingfengzhai, his father has not accepted the challenge. This is why Qingfengzhai has always been overpowered by Dachengxuan.
The reason is, today, when we are proud, Nian Bing, you have to work hard!"
Nian Bing nodded and said: "I'll do my best, I know that this Qingyin of the Wind of Freedom is not so easy to get. Okay, let's go in."
As soon as he walked into Qingfengzhai, Nian Bing immediately felt a solemn atmosphere. On both sides of the passage, there were not only the servants of Qingfengzhai, but also some strangers in ordinary clothes. At first glance, these people were inconspicuous.
, but with Nian Bing's mental power, he clearly discovered that these people are by no means as ordinary as they appear on the surface. They are all introverted and are masters of martial arts.
The hall of Qingfengzhai is still the same as before, except that nearly a hundred tables in the hall have been vacated. A row of long tables is placed in the front and center. The chairs behind the tables are empty. On both sides of the hall,
Each has a pile of kitchen-specific tools. The one on the left only has ordinary tools, while the one on the right is being arranged by some people.
Xue Jing whispered: "Look, the one in front is the judges' seat. On the left is where you operate, and on the right is where the head chef of Dachengxuan operates. They have already started to arrange it. If you have any requests, hurry up now
If you put it forward, I will ask someone to do it immediately. Otherwise, it will be too late later. You don't have to worry about all kinds of materials. As long as you can name it, I can find it."
Nian Bing nodded and whispered in Xue Jing's ear. Xue Jing's face kept showing surprise, "Is this all you need? They are all very common things!"
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "The real ability is to be ordinary but gorgeous. You can arrange it according to my words. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
Xue Jing nodded and said: "You go and change your clothes. The clothes are on the bed in my room. I prepared them for you personally. After you change your clothes, just come back here and wait for the game to start."
Nian Bing glanced at Xue Jing and said, "I'm entering your room again!"
Xue Jing smiled and said, "Are you afraid? I'm going to prepare something for you, so go quickly." After saying that, he floated away like a red cloud.
Nian Bing looked at Xue Jing's excited look and knew that the grudge between him and her had disappeared. However, the disappearance of this grudge didn't seem too good. While thinking about it, he came to the back hall and came to Xue Jing in a familiar way.
In the quiet room, the door was unlocked, and the familiar fragrance appeared on the tip of my nose again. When I walked to the bed, Nian Bing couldn't help but think of the embarrassment of hiding here in order to avoid Xueji.
A pair of snow-white clothes were neatly stacked on the bedside. When Nian Bing unfolded them, he couldn't help being shocked. What kind of chef's clothes were there? It was clearly a gorgeous dress. The white robe was embroidered with a dragon in silver thread.
There is not much embroidery in the shape of the pattern, but it plays a finishing touch, making the whole outfit luxurious yet elegant. The belt to tie the waist is very simple, also white, with a slightly wide silver line on each side.
In the center of it, there is a piece of milky white jade embellishment. Although it is not mutton fat white jade, its tentacles are warm, showing its extraordinary quality. A chef wears such clothes? This is obviously something only a nobleman would wear! Although I think so in my heart, but
He still took off his magic robe and put on this silver-white robe.
