Ever since Liu Pleiades and others accepted the mission from Master Luo Ai, they were tense all the time on the way out of Guangzhou, fearing that the legendary kitchen utensils would be taken away by people in the dark cooking world due to slack, but after Le Yuan informed After learning the truth from them, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The group of 6 people left Shanghai in a relaxed and happy mood, and wandered around for nearly two months to Sichuan.
On the second day after arriving in Sichuan, the group came to an ordinary town called Zitai Town. However, the moment they entered this town, Le Yuan stopped involuntarily.
"Sorry, can everyone give me some time? I want to stay alone in this town for a while." Le Yuan turned around and said to Liu Pleiax and others behind him.
"Brother Le Yuan, why do you look weird? Are you sick?" Silang looked at Le Yuan who had been acting weird since he stepped into Zitai Town. He couldn't help scratching his head and asked: "Do you want me to find it for you?" A doctor!"
Le Yuan walked up to Shiro, slapped him on the head with his left hand, rubbed his head hard and said: "You guys, don't worry about me, I just have some personal matters to deal with, you just go along." Go forward on this street and turn left at the intersection. There is a teahouse there, just wait for me there!"
Leaving the other people behind, Le Yuan walked alone towards the southeast direction of Zitai Town, passing through the winding paths in the town. Le Yuan seemed to have walked the familiar road countless times, and finally stopped at a dilapidated house. The front of the yard.
There was no sound, there was no one around this dilapidated courtyard, and the surroundings were completely silent, as if they were two different worlds from the lively town.
It looked like the door had fallen to one side and became a decoration. With a hint of memory in his eyes, Le Yuan pushed open the broken door and shouted to the empty courtyard: "I'm back!"
This dilapidated courtyard is exactly the identity that Le Yuan accepted when he entered this world - the home of Le Yuan, the young master of Yuebai Tower. Due to the massacre six years ago, this place has become a well-known place near Zitai Town. Although the "ghost courtyard" has become a deserted place, no one wants to live in this courtyard anymore, and even the nearby houses have been evacuated.
"You've seen enough, there's nothing interesting to see here!" Le Yuan shouted towards the dilapidated gate shortly after entering the courtyard. "Subaru, Shiro, you should know that my hearing cannot be wrong. I didn't expect all five of you to come!"
After Le Yuan revealed the stalker, Shiro rubbed his head in embarrassment and was pushed into the courtyard by Liu Pleiades. The other three followed closely and carefully observed the environment in the courtyard.
"Tell me, who came up with the idea."
Le Yuan looked at the five people in front of him expressionlessly, with a hint of blush on their faces, as if a child was embarrassed after being discovered by an adult after stealing candy.
Liu Pleiax slowly raised his hand and said: "Yes, it's me, Brother Leyuan. This is your former home, right? It's no wonder you became so strange as soon as you entered the town, and you are so familiar with the town. Are you mourning your dead parents?"
Le Yuan shook his head and said nothing. If he said he had strong feelings for his parents, he would be deceiving himself. Although he was affected by the memory package, he could not help but come to this place after entering the town, but this was not the case. It was just the last trace of obsession in my memory. After arriving here, it disappeared without a trace.
Le Yuan, who had been silent all this time, made others feel that they had touched a part of Le Yuan that no one knew about - the importance he attached to his loved ones.
Liu Pleiades among the group was particularly excited to say goodbye to Zitaizhen. He had been away from his mother, sister, and hometown for more than a year, and now he could see them again in less than a day. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. It's getting faster and faster, as if I can't wait to go back immediately.
As soon as he entered Luo'an, the town where Ju Xia downstairs was located, Liu Pleiaxing completely let go. He wanted to run back to Ju Xia downstairs to see his mother and sister, but before he could get far, he suddenly ran away. Le Yuan grabbed him.
"Wait a minute, Ah Subaru!" Le Yuan firmly put his hand on Liu Subaru's shoulders and asked him to listen: "There seems to be something wrong with the current situation. Look, those guys over there!"
Following the direction pointed by Le Yuan, a group of policemen armed with knives were patrolling the streets with serious expressions. Liu Pleiaxing, who had been in this town for more than ten years, had never seen that look before. Look, something big has happened.
"Brother Le Yuan, what's going on? We don't always have simple folk customs here, so how come there are so many official officials?" Although Liu Pleiades has rich experience, in the end he is still a child who has not yet reached the age of fifteen. The officer's fierce look immediately made him panic.
"Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. Let's go back and take a look first. Maybe they are doing it for other things!" Le Yuan took Liu Pleiades and hurried back to Ju downstairs.
As soon as we arrived in front of Juxia downstairs, a huge crowd of guests came in and out of Juxia downstairs. Everyone, men, women, old and young, who came out had a satisfied smile on their faces. It could be seen that Juxia downstairs was still safe and sound.
"Are you, Subaru?" Just as Le Yuan and others stopped in front of Ju going downstairs, the business of Liu Subaru's sister Jia Ling suddenly started behind him. Jia Ling, who was carrying the ingredients, suddenly put her shoulder to shoulder He lowered the pole and hugged Liu Pleiades, whose face was stained with tears.
"Sister Jialing, long time no see!" Looking at the sister and brother reunited after a long separation, Le Yuan raised his hand and said hello.
"A Yuan, you are coming too. These are your friends! Come on, come in quickly!" Jia Ling touched the tears of excitement on her face and quickly dragged Liu Pleiades downstairs to take him to see Ju. Inside.
Liu Pleiades, who had already obtained the status of a special chef, returned home in full glory this time. He was welcomed by everyone when he came back, but Le Yuan on the side saw a trace of worry flashing across Master Abe's face.
"Master, has something happened recently? The number of official posts in the town has more than doubled. Is there something big going on?" Le Yuan asked.
When Le Yuan said this, the cheerful atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared, and everyone almost fell silent.
"Just half a month ago, a new restaurant opened across from our Juxia downstairs. The chefs inside are also surprisingly skilled, but that's okay. The restaurants on both sides have always been in peace, but just after ten Everything changed the day before..."
Master Abe's face became more sad as he spoke, and he touched his forehead, as if he was having a headache about what was going to happen next. Looking at Liu Pleiades who looked at him worriedly, Master Abe smiled and patted his head.
"In fact, in one month, Prince Jiang from the capital will go on inspection tour to various countries in the Western Region, but before going, he has to pass through our Sichuan, so we in Sichuan will send the best restaurant to entertain Prince Jiang, and Sichuan's leading state-owned restaurant nature… "
"Of course Ju is coming downstairs. Isn't this a good thing? Cooking for Prince Jiang can be said to be a way to improve one's reputation and gain recognition at the same time. Why do you feel a headache?" Seeing the legendary prince with your own eyes Fairy Bei, it’s a lie if Master Xie is not excited. After hearing Master Abe’s problem, she quickly asked.
"But now the restaurant opposite has also entered the list of candidates. We now need to have a cooking competition with them to decide who can cook for Prince Jiang in the end!" Master Abe said with a face. There was a trace of worry on it.
"Look, the cooking show over there has started again!"
Following a shout from outside the door, even some customers inside the Daiju Downstairs couldn't help but stand up, walked outside the door and leaned forward to take a look. It seemed that there was something extremely attractive to them outside the door. Soul.
I saw a simple kitchen in front of the restaurant opposite, with ten stoves on it.
I saw a young man who was about the same age as Liu Pleiades walking out of the restaurant. Two pairs of silver chopsticks that were one meter long were spinning and flying into the air, and then they were caught in the hand of the young man.
Ten stoves were lit at the same time, and the stoves transformed into plates with ingredients stacked like a hill. Following the movements of the boy's hands, he caught the three plates with only long chopsticks and put the ingredients into different plates one by one. This pair of hands was indescribably clever.
The next performance shocked all the onlookers. They saw that he could handle all the dishes in the pot at the same time by opening and closing and poking quietly.
The corresponding chopsticks tapped on the plates and iron pots, creating a beautiful, fish-bait rhythm. Coupled with the ever-present smile on the young man's face, even the audience watching on the side danced along and were sucked into the whirlpool of joy. .
"What a joyful person he is. He injects emotion into his cooking. He is also a rare good cook!" Liu Pleiax couldn't help but sigh when he saw this young man.
But Master Abe, who was standing next to him, shook his head helplessly at this time, looking at the boy opposite with helplessness and sympathy in his eyes.
"A Subaru, some things cannot be seen with the eyes. That guy is not a simple person. If I guess correctly, he is Zhu Qi, one of the Five Tiger Stars, the 'Flying Great Sage'!" Looking at that Two pairs of eye-catching silver chopsticks, Le Yuan said with a hint of caution.
"Five Tiger Stars?" Ah Subaru and others shouted in unison. Not long ago, they had just met one of the Five Tiger Stars, but it didn't take long before they bumped into him again.
Mila on the side pointed to the distance not far away and said: "Not only Zhu Qi, but also the 'prodigal son' Yan Xian is here!"
Everyone turned around and saw that Zhu Qi, who had finished his performance, was walking closely behind a middle-aged man holding a wine jar.
