Notice: The refinement conference at 12.05 this Sunday night will be held here, and everyone is welcome to participate in the book review area of Ice Fire Magic Kitchen—

"Ten years of cooking, ten years of cooking, a lonely life, one failure." Nian Bing repeated Cha Ji's words, "Master, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely get back the title of ghost chef for you."

Cha Ji shook his head slightly, and said: "No need. I am the ghost chef, not you. You have learned my skills, but you can't be satisfied with the status quo. Only continuous improvement can make you reach the pinnacle of cooking skills. Chef , is a very common job on the mainland. You need to work hard to practice magic, and this job happens to be your best cover. I don't hate that woman back then, and you don't need to look for her. The past is gone. If it wasn't for her, maybe I still wouldn't be able to realize the mystery of the combination of magic and cooking, and I wouldn't have received such a good apprentice as you." While talking, his wrinkled hands took out a long cloth from the side Bao, handed it to Nian Bing, "This is my old buddy, I will leave it to you in the future. Take it out and have a look."

Nian Bing opened the cloth bag, and when the wrapped cloth disappeared little by little, a knife appeared in front of him. Kitchen knives usually do not have a scabbard, but this one does, just like his morning dew. The blade is about the same length as Chenlu, but the blade is much wider, at four inches in length, and the back is extremely thick at half an inch. After holding it, it weighs as much as three Chenlu knives. The scabbard is vermilion with antique patterns on it. Nian Bing held the knife handle that matched his hand, and slowly pulled out the knife.

A faint scorching breath rushed towards the face along the dark red blade, Nian Bing trembled, and the Fire God Stone in his arms let out a deep roar. And obviously accelerated a few points. When the whole knife is out of the sheath, the uncoordinated wide-blade and thick-backed knife shows an unusual beauty. The whole knife has a dark red luster. The entire blade. Holding it in his hand, the feeling of burning fire can't help but make Nian Bing's blood boil.

"This is the treasured sword I got after I became famous. It is my old buddy, like a brother, always by my side. Remember Hua Tian? This is also his most proud work besides your morning dew .This Zhengyang handle is not made of metal, to be precise, it should be carved out. Its basic material is the horn of a fire dragon."

"Fire dragon horn? Master, is there really a fire dragon?" Looking at the beautiful streamlined lines on the Zhengyang knife, Nian Bing asked curiously.

"I can't answer this question for you. I can only say that there are legends. Even if there are, the number is very rare. I found the fire dragon horn in a valley. Because of the heat of the horn, I know that this It must be a treasure, so I found Huatian and asked him to look at it. He told me at the time that he wanted this corner, and I can open it for as much money as you want. Your master is so smart! I said to him I can give you the corner, but you have to make me the most proud knife in your life, and use it as my kitchen knife. Hua Tian agreed, so this Zhengyang knife appeared. He also It is indeed a good friend. I directly carved this treasured knife with the horn of a fire dragon. Because it was carved, there are no gaps on the knife body. Moreover, it also has the breath of a fire dragon, which itself is a fire attribute. At the beginning, if it was not with that In the women's competition, I was too big and didn't use Zhengyang, even if she has magic to cook, she can't beat me, and the name of ghost chef is not a false rumor." Speaking of this, Chaji coughed several times , but the pride in his eyes never diminished.

"Master, you should rest for a while, don't talk anymore." Nian Bing patted Cha Ji on the back with concern.

Chaji smiled and said: "I'm fine, I'm just too happy. My apprentice is going to be a teacher, and I haven't brought my skills into the coffin after all. Nian Bing, what are your plans after leaving here?"

Nian Bing was stunned, and said: "Master, I never thought about this problem."

Chaji said: "Then you should listen to my advice. After you leave here, go to Ice and Snow City first. I don't know if that old guy Huatian is dead. Go pay him a visit for me. As the number one in the mainland Founder, he has many treasures, not only those you saw that day, maybe you can get some benefits."

Suddenly, Nian Bing's eyes turned red, and he held Chaji's hand tightly, "Master, I don't want to go, I really don't want to go."

There was a strange light in Chaji's eyes, "Silly boy, I didn't say that you can't be under my wings forever! You have to go anyway. Dachengxuan and Qingfengzhai in Ice and Snow City are all ice houses. The famous restaurants in the Moon Empire will be your first stop there. You can choose any one and find a way to enter the kitchen and observe the skills of the chefs there. If you lose your cooking skills, you must leave, otherwise, with your current ability, it will be easy for others to notice you, and if you are discovered by state officials, you will be in a lot of trouble."

Nian Bing nodded with tears in his eyes, "Master, I remember, I will definitely learn from your original appearance, travel to every corner of the mainland, learn how to cook various dishes, and I will definitely not let you down."

Chaji wiped away the tears shed by Nian Bing, and said kindly: "Silly boy, what are you crying for? Just remember these. The wall is hollow on the left side of the stove in the kitchen. There are some savings of mine in it. You can take them away first." Part of it is enough to spend on the road. Although money is not a good thing, but without it, everything is difficult, and there is no harm in bringing more. As for everything else, it is up to you to figure out. Oh, yes, I think Your magic is not enough to cultivate your magic power. If you have a chance, you should seek guidance from a master magician with advanced cultivation. You must learn to be flexible when you encounter problems. As long as someone has something to teach you, you may as well worship him as a teacher and live forever. Learning from the old is what every senior chef must do."

Nian Bing nodded, looking at Chaji with a faint red face, the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.

Chaji smiled, and his smile was very calm, "Son, your understanding is much stronger than the master. Although you only have eight years, you have learned a lot more than I did in the first ten years. Eight years of cooking, I have been cooking for eight years, but I don’t want you to be alone for the rest of my life. If there is a suitable girl in the future, don’t let it go and chase after it. Happiness is something you have to fight for yourself.”

Nian Bing knows nothing about men and women, "Master, let's talk about this later."

Chaji said sternly: "No, you must promise me this matter, and you must do it. I don't want the tragedy that happened to me to happen to you again. Having a stable family is only good for you. In the future, continue When learning cooking skills, it can also make your heart more stable. Oh, by the way, didn’t you say to make fish soup for me to eat, go now, the master is really hungry. I have been eating you for the past few years The things I make, even the ones I make myself, are a bit tasteless.”

Nian Bing nodded vigorously, and said: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely make the most delicious Mingyan Fish Soup for you to taste."

Cha Ji smiled slightly, waved to him, and said, "Go, go, master is waiting for you."

Nian Bing agreed, collected his thoughts, stood up, and ran out quickly. Looking at Nian Bing's back, Chaji's eyes showed a gratified light, "My child, Master is not mistaken. Although you have a deep scheming heart, you are still a person with the most affection and nature. If you are like this, what else do I have?" What about the one you miss?" With a trembling hand, he picked up the Zhengyang Knife, sighed softly, and slashed it on the ground. Although the handwriting was distorted, it was still recognizable.

Nian Bing quickly ran to the river. In order to let the master eat the fish soup he made faster, he went directly into the water to catch fish. After living in these years, he has already practiced good water skills in the river. In a short while, he caught two fat herrings and returned to the shore. Looking at the lively swimming fish in his hands, he ignored the water marks on his body and said to himself: "The fish is so fresh today, master, I must It will make a good fish soup that will satisfy you."

While talking, Nian Bing ran back to the peach blossom forest excitedly, and after a few strides, he had already arrived at the wooden house, "Master, master, look, I caught two big fish. I'm afraid you can eat fish today." We are full, master..."

When Nian Bing came back to Chaji's room, he suddenly froze, his whole body frozen as if frozen. Chaji was still lying there, lying on the comfortable recliner, but his eyes were closed, and his peaceful expression seemed to be asleep, but Nian Bing knew clearly that that was definitely not Chaji's sleeping posture , besides, the master's snoring never stops, but now...
