Chapter 61: Do You Want to Be a Chef Before Cultivating Immortals?
Xi Zhong waved his hand quickly, "Don't dare."
"Don't you dare? In other words, even though you don't dare, you are still thinking about this kind of thing in your heart?" The way Zhang Keke narrowed his eyes was quite scary.
Xi Zhong quickly proved his innocence and said: "I don't dare, and I don't want to. Junior brother, I am not that kind of person."
"That's good." Zhang Keke nodded with satisfaction.
Xi Zhong muttered in his heart: "I don't dare, but I still want to do it."
But Xi Zhong never dared to say these words.
If Xi Zhong wants to become Huayu Peak's public enemy, he can speak out boldly.
"Okay, let me take you to familiarize yourself with our cafeteria." Zhang Keke stood up.
Xi Zhong nodded.
When Xi Zhong came in yesterday, he saw that the appearance of this canteen was almost the same as the canteen in his previous life.
It's just that the canteen in Xi Zhong's previous life was decorated with cement and steel bars, but now the canteen in the Xiuxian world is decorated with green bamboo and long, hard wood.
There are windows to put food, but there is no glass, so people can take the food.
Some windows require people to distribute meals.
What surprised Xi Zhong was that the ladies who distributed the meals all covered their mouths and noses with a piece of cloth. It was like a mask from a previous life.
Ouch, shit.
Is the world of cultivating immortality that I created so avant-garde? Even the canteen is so hygienic.
"This is the place where meals are distributed." Zhang Keke introduced, pointing to the place not far away where breakfast was being distributed to the disciples.
Xi Zhong nodded.
Then he took Xi Zhong into the kitchen.
The structure of the canteen is very simple, with a place for getting food and a place for cooking.
The place where I live is also in Caoling District.
It seems that this Ren Jingshan is indeed a good person. She does not favor one disciple over another just because he cannot practice cultivation. Except for the different places where he works, the place where he lives is the same.
Just like Xi Zhong, didn’t he also live next door to Guan Xinying?
Xi Zhong secretly used his qi-gazing technique to look at the ladies working in the cafeteria, and found that these ladies were indeed uncultivated and just like himself, they were very ordinary people.
The two came to the kitchen.
Xi Zhong was surprised when he saw the scene in the kitchen in front of him.
Yes, surprised.
The kitchen is very big. Of course, kitchens in canteens are generally very big. This is not what surprises Xi Zhong. What surprises Xi Zhong is the stove in the kitchen.
On top of the stove, there are bamboo tubes that cross each other in different directions, allowing the extremely clear mountain spring water to flow out.
Inside each stove hole, a talisman is used to light the flame, without firewood.
These talismans can adjust the size of the fire.
The tools are complete, including steamers, large pots, etc.
Moreover, there is a "cooling charm" posted on the roof of the kitchen. Even though the charm is burning with flames, there is no burning sensation in the entire kitchen, and it is cool and pleasant.
This is simply a large kitchen with complete functions. Even in the previous life, it was still a very nice kitchen.
Xi Zhong was amazed.
Xi Zhong even suspected that someone had traveled to this world before him and came to renovate Huayufeng's kitchen.
Although the kitchen is a good kitchen, it also has shortcomings.
That's because these little chefs are too clumsy and don't know how to cook.
As soon as Xi Zhong turned around, he saw a senior sister sprinkling a large amount of salt into a pot of side dishes.
Is this going to kill people?
"Senior Sister Zhang, I would like to ask, if all the canteens in Luo Chan Sect opened a taste ranking list, how many of our canteens could get in?" Xi Zhong asked with a dark face.
Seeing Xi Zhong ask this, Zhang Keke was stunned at first. She didn't expect Xi Zhong to ask this question, and then she looked embarrassed.
Of course, she was still surprised.
Could it be that this junior brother could tell at a glance...that the food they cooked was not delicious?
Zhang Keke didn't say anything, and Xi Zhongdan knew from her expression that she must be at the bottom.
"But our kitchen is the best among all the main peaks. Senior sister Zhou Lanrou took me to see it. It's all dirty. Our kitchen is very clean." Zhang Keke quickly came to the rescue.
But Xi Zhong still had a dark look on his face.
It’s nice to have a clean kitchen, but if you can’t cook good food, what’s the use?
Xi Zhong suddenly understood why when he first entered the cafeteria, he saw the senior sisters always frowning while eating, and some senior sisters were lingering at the window, wondering what dish to choose.
It must be because the food tastes too bad.
If it's so unpalatable, why not improve it?
Xi Zhong also knew the reason.
This is the cafeteria at the foot of Huayu Peak. Xi Zhong didn’t care about the cafeteria on the mountainside because he had never seen it. This cafeteria was for those disciples who, like Xi Zhong, had just started. As for these disciples who did not dare to react, it was because
Afraid.
That's right, I'm just afraid that after reacting to the above, my senior sisters will say that I can't bear any hardship.
Of course, these are all Xi Zhong's guesses, but Xi Zhong believes that they should be inseparable.
Moreover, Xi Zhong was still very suspicious. With so many people, why was there no one who could cook?
Xi Zhong suddenly turned to look at Zhang Keke and said seriously: "Senior Sister Zhang, do you believe me?"
Zhang Keke had a question mark on her face. She didn't know what this junior brother wanted to express, but she still nodded and said, "Of course I believe it."
"Then I have a suggestion." Xi Zhong raised a finger and said, "Leave it to me to cook the lunch meal, and all the other senior sisters will help me. How about that?"
Zhang Keke was stunned.
Even the girls who were working but actually had their ears pointed this way were shocked.
Zhang Keke frowned and asked: "Junior Brother Xi Zhong...you..."
Xi Zhong interrupted with a smile: "If my lunch meal makes those senior sisters who are eating unable to eat well, there is no need for you to say it, Senior Sister Zhang. I, Junior Brother, will just get out of the cafeteria and go to Caoling District to take care of me."
Spiritual grass, how about it?"
Zhang Keke hesitated.
"Senior sister, promise him." At this time, a girl who was washing vegetables stood up, came to Xi Zhong, pouted her little mouth, and said angrily: "You just came in with such a loud voice, I don't believe he can compare with you.
My sisters cook delicious food."
"No matter what, I don't believe it." The girl who just sprinkled a lot of salt turned around and said angrily: "I don't believe he can do better than me."
It seems that this young lady is very confident in her cooking skills of spreading salt with her eyes closed.
At the same time, other ladies in the kitchen also agreed.
There was even a beautiful young lady who swore: "If he can cook better than us, then we will marry our junior brother."
"Is this true!?" Xi Zhong said excitedly.
How can you be a fairy if you cook and give several beautiful ladies as wives?
"Bah, bah, bah!" Then someone interrupted quickly and said, "I don't want to marry him, Nizi, don't talk nonsense!"
"..."
"How are you doing, Senior Sister Zhang?" Xi Zhong asked with a smile.
Zhang Keke glanced at everyone in the kitchen, then hesitated, and finally nodded: "Okay, but we don't want you to get out of the cafeteria, junior brother. If you lose, junior brother, then the cleaning of the kitchen this month will be handed over to you."
It’s your turn.”
Xi Zhong patted his chest and assured, "No problem."
What a joke, my cooking skills are top notch, you little brats are just waiting to see what it means to be a top chef in the world of immortality.
Then, Xi Zhong suddenly felt something was wrong.
I came to the inner sect of Zen Buddhism...aren't I trying to figure out how to become an immortal?
How do you become a chef now?
Forget it, don't worry about it so much. If you want to eat such a meal, you might as well go to the mountains and forests to catch little rabbits and roast them every day.
Once you get there, make peace with it.
Xi Zhong walked directly to the middle of the kitchen and asked, "Is it past breakfast time?"
Zhang Keke said: "It's almost done."
Xi Zhong nodded and said: "That's okay. Let me ask, how many disciples come to our cafeteria to eat?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Keke looked a little embarrassed and said: "There are a total of five hundred disciples in Caoling District, and the number of people who come to us is about two hundred and fifty."
"What about the others? Where do they go to eat?"
"They do it themselves..."
"..."
The ladies in the kitchen also bowed their heads in embarrassment.
"Okay." Xi Zhong rolled up his sleeves and said seriously with an expression on his face as if he wanted to do something big: "Then let me grab the stomachs of these senior sisters."
The ladies laughed.
Xi Zhong suddenly remembered something, then pulled Zhang Keke and asked: "Senior Sister Zhang, can you tell me what the identities of my senior sisters were before they entered Luo Chan Sect?"
"Of course it's okay." In their daily chats, they also told each other about their previous identities, so Zhang Keke naturally understood their identities.
Zhang Keke thought for a while and said: "Before being picked up by the master, most of these sisters were from famous families in secular dynasties. Some were nobles from declining dynasties. Some of them offended the powerful people in the court and were almost sent to prison.
There are official ladies from brothels, and there are also some eldest ladies in the world."
After saying this, Xi Zhong completely understood.
I understand why these ladies cook so poorly.
I also understand why these ladies are so beautiful.
Can you expect a young lady who has no fingers in the sun to prepare delicious meals?
It doesn't mean that there are no eldest ladies who can cook delicious meals. At least, there is no such person in the cafeteria of Huayu Peak.
Half of the five hundred disciples escaped, forcing them to cook their own meals rather than come to the cafeteria to eat.
I ate the remaining half while holding my nose.
How bad is this cooking skill?
No, Xi Zhong must teach these young ladies how to cook, and he cannot let them harm their fellow students anymore.
Xi Zhong turned to look at the dozen young ladies who were staring at him and said: "Okay, now go wash the vegetables. Wash more. Whether it's meat or vegetables, prepare more for me. I will definitely do it at noon."
Let this cafeteria be full!”
The salt-spreading lady was a little suspicious.
The same goes for other ladies.
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "According to the agreement, senior sister, you are going to help me."
