Zongman: The chef who is not doing his job

Even though Hong Fugui was his grandfather, he had never seen his grandfather, the god of cooking, cook in person! Not to mention any experience!

According to my father's story, it seemed that my grandfather's notes were given away by him personally.

"This... I can't accept it..." Wang Lin looked at the imperial chef's notes in front of him, tears streaming down his face.

Although he also had the Dragon Chef Notes given to him by his master Lan Xiusheng, those were only the notes for the part below the Tiger Chef level. Grandpa Lan was afraid that Wang Lin would be too ambitious, so he didn't dare to give him the Dragon Chef part.

But why didn't Wang Lin dare to accept it? He was afraid that if he accepted the notebook, it would cause an inevitable time paradox, because he didn't know what kind of impact the notebook had created in the original history.

“Young shopkeeper, are you looking down on me?!” Unexpectedly, upon hearing Wang Lin’s words, Hong Fugui immediately became unhappy and said with a sullen face, “I admit that my cooking skills are probably far inferior to your grandfather’s, but I dare say that there are definitely parts of my experience that you can learn from!”

"Brother... You misunderstood! I'm afraid that if I accept this secret book, what will happen to your younger generation?" Wang Lin hurriedly explained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He almost called out "ancestor" inadvertently. "Ancestor, please don't talk nonsense! My grandfather almost wants to beat me up!"

(Hong Anguo: Silly boy, take it! I have never seen this thing before! I am afraid it has already fallen into your hands!)

But the old man didn't dare to speak carelessly, for he was afraid that he might accidentally change something. As a great master, he also studied time paradox! After all, he was not illiterate!

Hong Fugui patted himself confidently and said, "Don't worry about this! I can teach you step by step! And I have memorized everything in the notes!"

"This..." Wang Lin was still hesitating.

“Take it…” Seeing that Wang Lin was still hesitating, Hong Anguo finally couldn’t help it and advised him.

"...Okay!" Seeing that his grandfather had also spoken, Wang Lin nodded and took the notes.

He actually had a guess. If today was originally a part of history, then would this notebook return to its original time period, or was the notebook itself given to him today by his ancestor?

The so-called secret restaurant that the old man originally mentioned is the future Wang Lin’s shop?

As for the judgment, it depends on the old man's reaction. If the old man always looks indifferent, it means that he has seen this notebook, and Wang Lin can't accept it no matter what.

But if the old man was so covetous of this notebook, then Wang Lin should have accepted it. Hong Fugui was the old man’s grandfather. The fact that the old man had never seen it only meant that this notebook did not appear in the original history.

But the old man seemed to understand Wang Lin’s thoughts better, guessed what Wang Lin was worried about, and directly told Wang Lin to accept it with peace of mind!

"But!" Wang Lin suddenly changed the subject, stretched out a hand, and a stream of light suddenly floated in his hand. After a while, a jade talisman appeared out of thin air in the palm of Wang Lin's hand.

"Brother, you gave me the cooking secrets passed down from my ancestors, so I should reciprocate! I know that the world over there is in a chaotic era. Although I don't know exactly what you are going to do after you return, your own strength is definitely the most important!"

"This cultivation secret book was left by a powerful senior chef! It is a cultivation method created specifically for chefs like us! I can see that although you are already a Dragon Chef, your own strength is not strong. I think this method will definitely help you!"

"This..." Hong Fugui was stunned for a moment, then smiled carefreely: "Well! Then I won't be polite!"

Seeing Hong Fugui accept the jade talisman, Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Old man Hong Anguo next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. Now the time loop was completed.

Wang Lin glanced at his grandfather. Is there anything else he wanted to tell him?

The old man rolled his eyes. How could I know what else you said? Just say whatever you want to say! Of course, don't say anything you shouldn't say!

Wang Lin scratched his head, then thought for a while and said, "Brother, if you still want to see some chef-like cuisine, I suggest you go to Sichuan and find Chef Chen Abei of Juxialou! Believe me! This chef will not let you down!"

"Abei Chen...Okay! Thank you! I'll remember it!" Hong Fugui gave Wang Lin a confident and brilliant smile, and after he and the little flying saucer bowed and said goodbye to Wang Lin and his group, they left Wang Lin's shop.

Seeing the two people leave safely, Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He finally sent this ancestor away! He never wanted to encounter such a thing again! What if he accidentally got himself killed?

"...It turns out that the reason why grandpa suddenly ran to the Sichuan-Shu area was because of your idea!" The old man looked at Wang Lin leisurely and complained.

“Ahem…hahaha!” Wang Lin laughed awkwardly and touched his head. Am I that powerful?

"Your grandfather didn't praise you." Hong Xiuqin said with a grim face.

"Sorry..." Wang Lin admitted his mistake honestly. Don't argue with your mother. She is right no matter whether you are right or wrong.

"Hey! It's okay!" The old man shook his head in a carefree manner, and said with a nostalgic smile: "I never thought that I could see grandpa again here! It's really eye-opening! Hahaha! I don't know when the next time will be!"

"But, having said that, you are really good at hiding things! Who else knows the secret of your shop?" The old man suddenly put on a serious expression and asked Wang Lin.

"There's only Erina and Hisako, no one else." Wang Lin replied quickly.

"The girls from the Nakiri family and the Arato family? Well, okay, since you know the answer yourself, I won't interfere. However, you must be cautious when choosing a partner." The old man warned seriously.

"I understand..." Wang Lin nodded quickly, fearing that Hong Xiuqin would pull his ears again.

Although his mother only had the innate ability and was at the relatively weak third level, Wang Lin was still very afraid of her. This might be due to the blood suppression between mother and son.

Then, Wang Lin saw the old man lowering his head and saying nothing, and Hong Xiuqin and Hong Aidi also looked as if they didn't want to ask any more questions.

"Uh... Grandpa, don't you have anything else you want to ask?" Wang Lin asked doubtfully. Are all the people in this family so free and easy?

"Ask? What? What's there to ask?" The old man spread his hands and said, "Although your shop is quite unique, welcoming guests from all over the world, I have even been to the unscientific place of the Gourmet Space. What else can't I accept?"

"What do you think is in there? Haha! Let me tell you! In the Food Space, there is a space channel that leads to other times! It's a pity! Those worlds seem to be much weaker than ours! Their technological development is not as good as ours, and their military strength is not as good! But it's fun to fight! Without the suppression of the Blue Star's magic circle, we can fight with all our strength!"

Wang Lin was numb and his mouth twitched. Looking at the calm expressions of his aunt and mother, he realized that they were also insiders!

"Besides, with your amazing luck in eating, I won't be surprised no matter what happens!" The old man continued leisurely.

"Food luck?!" This familiar yet unfamiliar term made Wang Lin stunned again. He did have some impression of this term.

Among the captives of food, there is an explanation of food luck. Another name for this thing is luck.

[Friendly reminder, the food luck mentioned by the host's grandfather is not exactly the same as the luck displayed by the system. The host's luck displayed by the system is equivalent to liquid funds, while the food luck mentioned by the host's grandfather is the host's own fixed luck, which cannot be used actively. In a sense, the system is the transformation of the host's food luck. ]

(Damn! You are still here!?) Wang Lin asked inwardly in amazement. Wang Lin had known that this system seemed to have consciousness, but it seemed that it was not online most of the time.

[…Let’s go, just take a look. The system is afraid that the host will accidentally kill himself.]

After delivering this message, the system turned deaf and dumb again and remained silent.

Wang Lin inexplicably had a feeling that the system was really gone.

However, with the systematic explanation, Wang Lin understood what the old man meant by food luck.

“To be honest, after meeting you, I finally understood why Lan Xiusheng and the others valued you so much!” Hong Anguo continued to explain to Wang Lin: “Breakthrough Dragon Chef, our physical fitness can be said to have reached the basic requirements of divine talent in all aspects, but we just don’t have those innate special abilities.”

"Therefore! Our eyes can see many extraordinary things! For example! A person's food luck!"

"And you, kid! I can say! In all my years of life, I have never seen anyone with better food luck than you!"
