Changsha, Hunan, is the venue for the Hunan Province Special Chef Test. Although it is not as famous as the difficulty of the Special Chef Test in Guangzhou, it is still a dream place for chefs.
There is still a week left before the test of a special chef, but chefs from all over the country can already be seen on the streets of Changsha showing off their cooking skills. As soon as the special chef exam begins, they will prove to the examiner that they have the qualifications to become a special chef. .
Le Yuan, who had just completed his travels, was already ready to go and had everything ready, just waiting for the exam to begin.
After a year of travel, his originally slightly immature body has fully grown. A year of traveling through mountains and rivers has made his originally thin body stronger and stronger, with strong and lean muscles, well-proportioned and toned. The waist appears to be very resilient, and the profile of the side face is as sharp as a knife, with sharp edges and corners yet still soft, a face that combines two different qualities: handsomeness and fortitude.
Le Yuan recalled the one-year journey and experienced all the ups and downs.
Within a year, Le Yuan set out from Sichuan and passed through Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province. After finding the Demonic Holy Bronze Artifact, he made two weeks of adjustments and then headed to Shanghai. The magical city of Shanghai, a colorful international metropolis, has been impacted by world civilization, making it the number one metropolis in China.
During the month after arriving in Shanghai, Le Yuan visited several of the most prestigious restaurants in Shanghai's "Grand Union", including the Longzhen Restaurant where the main character Tang Sanjie (Ah Q) was. Unfortunately, Tang Sanjie (Ah Q) Having already left Shanghai to study cooking in Guangzhou, it was a big regret not to meet the characters in the plot, but Tang Sanjie (Ah Q) and his father's cooking skills still inspired Le Yuan a lot.
Perhaps because it’s a novice plot, the legendary kitchen utensils in Shanghai still haven’t been hindered in any way. In the only bamboo forest on the outskirts of Shanghai, Le Yuan easily found a small cave dedicated to the Kitchen God. When he turned the statue of the Kitchen God, the legendary kitchen utensil Rotating Dragon Pot appeared in front of him. Unfortunately, it was still a three-nothing prop. .
nameless copper kettle
Attack power: none
Properties: none
Special effects: none
Can it be taken out of this world: No
Note: Young man, you are very talented, pick up scraps with me, bah, join me in recycling waste.
Le Yuan, who had already expected such a result, reluctantly put away the Zhuanlong Pot and prepared to leave Shanghai. At this time, Le Yuan faced two choices. One was to go south to Guangzhou. Daxian Temple in Guangzhou kept the Yongling knife, which was specially used to process seafood and could restore the flavor of food that had lost its flavor. It was also the only kitchen utensil that was guarded. The second is to go north to Mount Tai. Mount Tai has the Tanlang Pot, a kitchen utensil protected by nine seals. Unfortunately, this is one of the kitchen utensils whose specific location is unknown. Moreover, Liangshanbo, the core of the dark cooking world, is right next to Mount Tai, and Taishan is also a powerful force in Liangshanbo. Within the radiation range, he, Master Abe's disciple, will inevitably be targeted, and his current strength may not be able to block their offensive.
After careful consideration, Le Yuan chose to take a boat to go south to Guangzhou, not for any other reason than to be able to get the guidance of Nanxian Restaurant's top chef (Ding You) and Master Shiquan (Luo Tian). So this trip to Guangzhou It's worth it.
When he came to Nanxian Restaurant and met Chef Jidi and explained his intention, Chef Jidi agreed to Le Yuan's request to study at Nanxian Restaurant after a brief thought, but he added a condition.
"I won't say any more nonsense. Since we are Master Abe's disciples, let's take advantage of the fact that it's almost our meal time! You can also cook a dish quietly! Let's stir-fry Qingjiang cuisine... I'll take you away from Master Abe. Then everything you learn comes out!"
Le Yuan put down his luggage and walked to the chopping board. Instead of rushing to start cooking, he tasted the ingredients and seasonings first.
"Sure enough, there is an earthy smell on the dish. The characteristics of other seasonings have been controlled, so let's do it!"
After careful training by Master Abe, and with his six months of travel experience, Le Yuan will certainly not ignore the earthy smell of Guangzhou Qingjiang cuisine like the fledgling chef.
Now prepare two pots, boil hot water in one pot, and dry the other pot until it is smoking. While the water is boiling, you will not be idle. Prepare the oil to remove the earthy smell, and wait for the water to boil. When it boils, put the oil in, then throw the green vegetables into the water and blanch them. After blanching, he started to stir-fry. In order to show the skills he learned from Master Abe, he used the unique seasonings he learned from Master Abe to enhance the Sichuan flavor, which impressed everyone.
Soon a plate of fried Qingjiang vegetables was brought to the table.
Master Jidi was the first to raise his chopsticks, put the food into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then his expression changed. People around him spoke out one after another.
"How about the Qingjiang vegetables he fried?"
Chef Jidi put down his chopsticks and pointed the dish in front of everyone. His eyes signaled everyone to try it, accompanied by the sound of chopsticks.
"Well, it's surprising how this dish tastes like this!"
"It's just a plate of Qingjiang vegetables, but it can produce such a fragrant aroma!"
"I thought Sichuan food was just spicy, but I didn't expect it tastes really good!"
… …
Le Yuan looked at the empty plate in front of him and asked excitedly: "Master Jidi, can I stay?"
"Of course, looking at this plate is the best answer."
"But why do you taste the ingredients before cooking? "
Le Yuan chuckled.
"Well, this is a habit I have developed. When Master Abe taught me how to cook for the first time, he taught me that in addition to knife skills and heat, a chef also has an understanding of ingredients. Only based on the ingredients can I choose the best dish. It’s a good cooking method, so every time I get new ingredients, I try them first.”
Master Jidi smiled knowingly after hearing this, "As expected of Master Abe, he really has a way of teaching his disciples."
After that plate of Qingjiang cuisine, Le Yuan studied at Nanxian Restaurant for three months. Not only did he learn his best ice carving skills from Master Ji Di, he also learned a skill from Master Luo Tian who occasionally came to the kitchen. The skill of controlling the heat.
Of course, there is another gain, an agreement that when he becomes a special chef, he will be eligible to compete with Ren, who will come back to inherit the legendary kitchen utensils, for the opportunity to inherit the Everlasting Knife.
In the next six months, Le Yuan did not go to Mount Tai, but went directly to Dunhuang. This is not that he has given up on Taishan's Greedy Wolf Pot, but that he intends to use it as his last stop before returning to Juxialou.
Dunhuang, the center of western Gansu, is very prosperous…
"Ah... How on earth are we going to find this? I don't even know the exact location!!!"
Le Yuan's roar attracted a crowd of passers-by. After going through thorns and thorns all the way, he finally arrived at Dunhuang, and he realized that Dunhuang was really too big.
Dunhuang, like an oasis on the Silk Road, was the original place of exchange between Eastern and Western cultures—a variety of ethnic groups and religions coexist here, making it a city full of exotic customs.
"Due to the prevalence of maritime trade, although this place is not as prosperous as Shanghai, as the earliest place for East-West exchanges, it is still very lively!"
Le Yuan sighed while observing the passers-by. Looking at the endless flow of people, he was ready for a long battle.
"Making money is the first priority." This was his first plan. The long trip once again left little of the travel expenses he had accumulated. After spending all the remaining money to open his own small restaurant, Le Yuan's The wallet slowly began to bulge.
As a gathering place for all kinds of people, spices are not a rare thing in this place. When Le Yuan discovered various spices, he began to study how to use spices to prepare better condiments. This research caused another crisis for his wallet.
While Le Yuan was making money and studying, he never stopped inquiring about the legendary kitchen utensils. The locals also looked for them many times. Judging from the urine properties of the place where the kitchen utensils were previously sealed, the Lingzangku was probably also in a certain shrine. among.
After Le Yuan earned enough money for his travel expenses, the map he spent a month sorting out was finally ready.
The legendary kitchen utensils were sealed thousands of years ago, and the only known shrine that matches this is the nameless temple near the stone tower. The face of the statue has long been eroded by the wind and cannot be judged, but what is known is that this temple has existed for more than a thousand years.
Since finding this temple, Le Yuan has focused all his attention on exploring this ancient temple. It is a pity that time has devoured all traces here. When Le Yuan found nothing here, until he accidentally took out the Garuda knife from the toolbar and tried to unlock the seal, a burst of light flashed on the knife from time to time. When he After taking out the Demonic Holy Bronzeware, the two kitchen utensils began to glow brighter at the same time.
"Is this the resonance between kitchen utensils?" Le Yuan suddenly realized, patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot that the legendary kitchen utensils have resonance properties."
After waking up, Le Yuan simply took out the rotating dragon pot, and then kept wandering around the temple with the kitchen utensils. When he got close to the statue, the three kitchen utensils emitted the brightest light at the same time, and the bottom of the statue also glowed. A glimmer of light emerged.
Le Yuan struggled to move the statue away, and after a lot of effort, he moved out the spiritual treasure house hidden under the statue.
"The Lingzangku is in hand." Le Yuan felt a sense of accomplishment in conquering the Pokemon. Looking at the Lingzangku in hand, he couldn't help but feel that the two months in Dunhuang had not been in vain.
After receiving the Lingzangku, he naturally started his return journey, stopping and stopping along the way, and finally arrived in Changsha, the examination city one week before the start of the Hunan Province Special Chef.
"Is the examination for the special chef just around the corner? Looking at the invisible exam location in the distance, Le Yuan clenched his fists: "Whether this plot will live or die depends on this special chef exam!" "
At this time, there are 351 days and 19 hours and 22 minutes left before the extreme game time.
