Ice Snow City, the second largest city in the Ice Moon Empire. Looking from a distance, the city wall is tens of meters high, wide and vertical and horizontal. Although it is not imposing, the whole city stands there, giving people a very calm feeling. The Tianqing River passes by the west of the Ice and Snow City, and the entire city is built along the river, taking its water conservancy. Although it is not as famous as the Ice Moon Empire's capital, Ice Moon City, next to the Ice God Tower, it is definitely the center of the Ice Moon Empire's economy. One, many large chambers of commerce use Ice Snow City as their foundation. The entire city has a population of millions, and decades of peace have made this place unprecedentedly prosperous.
Nian Bing and Cha Ji entered from the north gate of Ice and Snow City. They were dressed up by ordinary people and looked inconspicuous. The dozens of soldiers at the first gate would not come to interrogate them at all, and entered the city easily.
As soon as you enter the city, you will immediately feel a different feeling. The peach blossom forest is like a paradise, while the ice and snow city is a bustling and bustling scene. The avenue is paved with bluestone. Nian Bing had been here more than a year ago, but he was used to a clean life, and he was not used to it when he first entered the city.
"Master, what should we buy now?" Nian Bing asked.
Zha Ji smiled slightly, and said: "We have a lot of things to buy this time. We need to buy a few more bags of rice, so as not to have to go out all the time, and some good seasonings. Oh, by the way, I will also buy a handful of rice for you." A good knife, in a few days, you should also start to learn cooking formally. The chef's knife is the most important thing just like the samurai's knife. Only a good knife can fully display your cooking skills. Most It’s good to buy a good knife with a magic gem, so that you can use magic to cut materials better. I don’t know about other chefs. Anyway, for me, the most important kitchen utensil back then was the knife. "
When he heard that Cha Ji wanted to buy himself a knife, Nian Bing immediately became excited, "Great, master, I can finally stop using a hatchet. You must buy me a good one, but, do you have a knife?" money?"
Chaji snorted, and said, "Let's forget about it. Your master, I was a ghost cook back then, and I couldn't spend my savings even if I spent a few lifetimes. Otherwise, why should I spend my whole life in the peach blossom forest? I chose there just because I like to be clean."
Nian Bing chuckled, and said: "Then, the master is still a rich man. Then what kind of kitchen knife do you use, the usual one, I don't see anything special about it!"
Chaji sighed, and said, "My own knife has been sealed long ago. Since I am no longer the ghost chef of the past, how can I let the precious knife be dusted with me? If your cooking skills can meet my requirements in the future, maybe , I'll pass it on to you."
"Let's go, don't keep thinking about the knife. Even if it is a good knife, you can't show it right now. Go buy rice first." At that moment, Chaji took Nian Bing into the ice and snow city with ease. After a while, Nian Bing The wooden cart he was pushing was full of things, some necessary food, seasonings and daily necessities, Chaji bought a pile of them, and even bought a few sets of ordinary coarse cloth clothes for himself and Nian Bing to change and wash, of course , he will not forget the red string that promised Nian Bing. Now, the jade card is already worn around his neck, and the warm jade is sticking to his chest. The faint warm breath makes Nian Bing feel extraordinarily Comfortable.
Pushing the heavier and heavier car, Nian Bing complained: "Master, I've been hungry for a long time, should we eat something before buying?"
Chaji looked at his fat apprentice, and said with a smile: "You have so much fat, it's okay to miss a meal. Okay, we have almost bought everything we need, let's go, let's find an inn to stay and eat." After dinner, I will take you out to see if there is a suitable knife in the evening."
Nian Bing took a long breath, pointed to a small inn in front of him and said, "Master, let's go there, I really can't walk anymore."
Cha Ji nodded, "Okay. I used to live there. Although the environment is average, it's still fairly clean."
The inn is called Zhongsheng, one old and one young, pushing the cart to the entrance of the inn, a waiter immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Both, do you want to stay in the inn? We have all the facilities here, and we also provide all-day Twelve hours of hot water at a reasonable price."
Cha Ji said impatiently: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, get the car to the yard first, we will live here."
Entering the inn, Cha Ji brought Nian Bing to the counter, "Give us a standard room, the one with two beds."
The waiter behind the counter looked ordinary, looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old, smiled slightly, and said, "The price for one day's accommodation is one silver coin, please pay first."
"Wait a minute, I want two rooms." Nian Bing said eagerly.
Cha Ji wondered, "Why do you need two rooms?"
Nian Bing stuck out his tongue at him, "Master, you usually live next door to me, and the sound of snoring often shakes me. If you are in the same room, I don't have to sleep. I have to push the cart back tomorrow. Just pity me for my fat body that needs to rest."
Old Cha Ji blushed, and took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the waiter, "Then two are fine, is my snoring really that loud?" The waiter took the silver coins, trying not to let himself laugh, and gave them One old and one young arranged two adjoining rooms.
Chaji took the door key from the waiter and said to Nian Bing, "Aren't you hungry? Let's just eat something here."
The inn restaurant is not big, only more than 100 square meters, and there are more than a dozen tables neatly arranged inside. As Cha Ji said, although it is not luxurious, it is still clean. It was not mealtime at this time, and the restaurant was very clean. Cha Ji took Nian Bing to a table facing the street and sat down. From here, one could see the bustling scene on the street outside.
"Two, what would you like to eat?" A waiter walked up to them and asked lazily. Civilian attire like Nian Bing and Cha Ji naturally couldn't attract her attention.
Cha Ji said: "Four steamed buns, a pot of white porridge, and some pickles will do."
A look of contempt flashed across the waiter's eyes, and he didn't even bother to remember, "Wait, I'll be here in a while."
Watching the waiter leave in a daze, Ice Nian called out, "Master, didn't you, didn't you just say how rich you are? Why are you so stingy now? Just eating steamed buns is not enough nutrition!"
Cha Ji said angrily: "Idiot, do you think I can get used to eating these things outside? After eating the dishes I made, if you eat the dishes of this ordinary small restaurant, I guarantee you will spit it out immediately."
Nian Bing said suspiciously: "Master, I know that you are a dignified ghost chef, so there is no need to belittle others like this. Even if it is not as delicious as your cooking, it will not be too bad. Otherwise, how can someone become a chef? "
Chaji smiled strangely, "You don't believe me, right? Well, we're going to serve two green vegetables, and you'll find out if you try it. If there's no huge gap between me and ordinary chefs, why did I win the five consecutive God of Cooking competitions in the first place?" champion." At that moment, he called the waiter and added two green vegetables.
Although the attitude of the waiter is not very good, the green vegetables are easy to cook, and the steamed buns and porridge are ready-made, and they are served in a while. Nian Bing had been hungry for a long time, and immediately took a large chopsticks of green vegetables and put them into his mouth without belief.
"Wow, bah, bah, bah." He spat out all the vegetables before chewing twice, "What is this! It's so unpalatable, it smells like raw oil. The oil must not be hot when frying. The heat is too low, it is not cooked, the fragrance of the dish itself has not been brought out at all, and there are so many salt and monosodium glutamate, it is really unpalatable."
Chaji did not laugh at Nian Bing, but nodded in satisfaction, "Well, yes, it seems that you have not learned from me in vain this year. You have basically mentioned all the shortcomings of this dish. It seems that you still have some For the sake of talent, the master will show you a trick today, waiter."
