Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 56 A Brand New Road to Martial Arts

Time passed day by day, and the winter auction that Zhang Ang had been dreaming of was getting closer and closer.

On this day, a middle-aged strong man came to the door.

That is Maestro Lubzon, the chef of the "Isle of Summer" restaurant on the Champs-Elysées, and the vice-president of the Paris Culinary Association.

"Ah, Master Li Ang, I'm here to see you this time. I have a good job to introduce to you, which is very important for your reputation in Paris." Master Lubzon said kindly.

"Ah, what is the duke's masquerade, the marquis's daughter's birthday celebration?" Zhang Ang is already familiar with Master Lubzon, he is the most helpful, and often comes to introduce the so-called good jobs to Zhang Ang .

"Oh, of course not. This time is different. This time it's a big business. There are several culinary masters just invited, and anyone in the association who can walk away has gone. Of course, with your cooking skills, Li Ang, It will definitely shine at this banquet and become a hit." Master Lubzon persuaded.

"Oh, what kind of banquet is it that requires so many masters?" Zhang Ang was curious.

"Ah, Li Ang, you are not a Parisian. You may not know that in Paris, there will be a grand auction every quarter, and the end of this month will be the winter auction. There are countless dignitaries, rich and powerful in the auction. You If your food is favored by them, are you afraid that there will be no business in the future?" Master Lubzon said with a smile.

"What does this auction have to do with us? Can food be auctioned?" Zhang Ang still didn't understand.

"You don't understand this. This auction is not an auction right away. Before it starts, there will be a banquet to fill the stomachs of these big shots, and then sit down and slowly auction. It will start in the morning It will be held until the evening, divided into several stages, and there will be gaps between each stage for everyone to rest and discuss, and we need to prepare three meals a day and snacks during the gaps.” Lubson The master patiently explained.

But I also want to participate in the auction, how can I have time to work with you in the back kitchen?Zhang Ang said silently in his heart.What he said was: "I'm sorry, I will be very busy at the end of the month, I'm afraid I don't have time to take on this job."

"Why don't you understand? Do you know how much each master's commission is this time? A whole 1000 gold francs! It only takes two days to work. How much can you earn in this academy? You seem to be in power now, two The cafeteria is at your disposal, and the little chefs below are all obedient, but what is the use? All the money is earned by the academy! With the little commission given by the academy, when will you be able to open a restaurant of your own? Master Li Ang , let me tell you, as long as you are willing to work hard, accept more jobs, and work more, with your skills, it is not difficult to have a restaurant of your own on the Champs Elysees like me!" Master Lubzon He spoke earnestly, with a look of hatred on his face.

Zhang Ang felt very speechless: Our pursuits are not the same at all.

But Master Lubzon was kind after all, Zhang Ang couldn't bear to hit him, so he had to use the dragging formula: "Well, thank you for your kindness, please let me think about it for a while, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Then hurry up, the quota is very sought after, I don't know how many young chefs want to grab it." Master Lubson urged repeatedly.

*****************************
After a serious discussion with Ms. Sophie, Zhang Ang still accepted Master Lubzon's invitation to cook food for the auction.

For one thing, I am theoretically a dead person, without a noble title, I cannot participate in the auction. Miss Sophie is only an earl and does not have a private room. She sits in the hall and participates in the auction with everyone, so there is no Privileged to bring his men in.

Secondly, the Holy See in Paris will also send people to participate in this auction. Although Zhang Ang does not think that any of them can recognize him, it is better not to show up at the venue just in case.

****************************
"Anyway, as long as it is a martial arts cheat book and the price is not too outrageous, please help me to take pictures of it. I want all kinds of martial arts. There is no limit. No matter how unpopular or difficult to practice, I will do it." Zhang Ang repeatedly told Sophie Miss.

"Okay, okay, how many times have you said it, go ahead, don't worry, just leave it to me." Miss Sophie couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhang Ang had no choice but to take a group of capable chefs to the Louvre. They were asked to report one day in advance to prepare ingredients and get familiar with the venue.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Louvre, Zhang Ang saw a big scene: a snitch wrapped in black touched the wall of the Louvre through the night, and was pierced by a fiery red gun shadow flying out. He fell to the ground, life or death unknown, and was dragged away by the guards.

When Zhang Ang and the others entered, they were checked repeatedly. Fortunately, everyone was a decent person, and they were all let through smoothly.

Many people have already arrived in the kitchen. Masters and disciples are helping the chefs to pre-process the ingredients, and they are very busy.

"Master Li Ang, can you come over and talk?" It was Master Bernard, the president of the Paris Culinary Association, who spoke.

"Master Bernard, what's the matter?" Zhang Ang was puzzled.

"Do you feel any emotion when you see the scene here?" Master Bernard pointed to the busy chefs.

Looking around Zhang Ang, everyone was busy, some were smoking meat, some were making soup, and some were cutting something. Everyone had something to do, and everyone was working meticulously.

"Everyone is very busy and enthusiastic." Although puzzled, Zhang Ang told the truth.

"Yes, everyone is busy with work. But what I saw is not only these, I also saw the power of our chef, that unique power!" Master Bernard said impassionedly.

"Ah, what power?" Zhang Ang was still puzzled.

"Although I don't understand why you always stay in that academy and don't want to come out, and I don't understand why you rarely see you actively discussing issues with other masters. Maybe you want to learn more about swords than cooking? Martial arts and so on, but today, I want you to see, see the strength that only belongs to our chefs, the martial arts that only belong to our chefs!" Master Bernard's aura reached its peak.

Countless vigor spewed out from him, countless ingredients flew up, and stainless steel kitchen knives flew out, shuttled among the ingredients, cutting them into countless regular small pieces.

Flames rose from the stove, and the hot flames changed their shapes and colors as the internal force in Master Bernard's palm gushed out. A huge steak was suspended in the fire out of thin air, constantly rotating and changing the direction of roasting.

This is the transformation of internal energy, this is controlling things out of thin air, this is the great master!
As if a door was slowly opening in front of Zhang Ang's eyes, the strong wind completely blew away the boundless fog in front of him, allowing him to see the brand new martial arts path that only belonged to him.
