Ranch Story: Start Over

The later customers gathered together with those who had already eaten once and sat down to chat.

When they heard from the people who arrived earlier that the hotel had a new chef, whose efficiency and taste were impeccable, but that the supply would be limited tonight, they all became interested.

Most of the people were old neighbors, so they were all easy to persuade. In the end, Dutt prepared 10 skewers of barbecue and skewers of vegetables for each person, and the drinks were a glass of lemonade or other herbal tea, mung bean porridge, etc.

Feng Ling breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the people outside who had reached an agreement.

This way, things won't be messed up, and Feng Ling is also sharing his experience with Flame Roasting and Ice Explosion Compression with Dart's three old friends, so that he can save some magic.

Working in the kitchen, preparing midnight snacks does not consume much energy, but in order to enhance the deliciousness of the food, Feng Ling added the effect of magical cooking, which made a big difference.

Looking at the skewers of perfectly grilled meat that he had made coming out of the oven and placed on the plate one by one, Feng Ling still took the trouble to check the properties of each skewer.

Feng Ling's talent for cooking is indeed superb. While instructing others, he controls the fire and explains barbecue techniques. The masters around him listen very carefully, and the apprentices also listen attentively.

Dart and Lin were chatting with the old customers and guests staying in the hotel to kill time. As for the appetizer, they followed Feng Ling's suggestion and had a portion of boiled edamame in front of each person.

Interestingly, this boiled edamame is Dart’s signature dish. Everyone likes it very much and it is considered Dart’s masterpiece. Although other dishes always have unknown successes and failures, the success of edamame is a fact that cannot be replicated.

More than 20 minutes later, two apprentices slowly came out pushing two food carts.

"This speed is too fast!"

Thomas said in surprise.

There are at least thirty people on the scene so far. Can this chef really do well in the exam with all these helpers?

Dart patted Thomas on the back and said:

"I have contributed my three grills, each 10 meters long, and this kid can operate them. You can imagine how high his magic control level is."

And you see, these skewers are not cold at all, they were taken off the shelves at the same time.

"It's incredible. You can control the flames of three 10-meter-long barbecue grills. Your apprentice's magical attainments are really strong."

"Can I ask him about his magical realm?"

"Intermediate magician."

"Emm!"

Zach took his share.

"Wow, it smells so good, let me taste it."

"Okay, everyone, if you think this flavor suits your taste, please try it. I'm really sorry, we can only make a limited amount tonight, and we will make sure to have enough stock tomorrow."

Dutt apologized to everyone here with an apologetic look on his face.

This time, for the sake of delicious food, no one said anything to Dart. They were all foodies, with a foodie soul. At this moment, everyone was a foodie.

“Delicious, this tastes amazing!”

“I want to bring some back for my family to try.”

Poply and Kallen were at the same table, and Poply carefully took a bite of the bone-in meat.

The crispy feeling of the brittle bones, the sound of "crunch, crunch..." coming from the mouth after chewing gently, the intoxicating aroma of barbecue penetrated into the nose, arousing the girl's taste buds. At this moment, Pobley closed her eyes, just wanting to enjoy the happiness in front of her.

Kallen's usually cold snow-capped mountain appearance was also somewhat moved at this moment. Seeing Popley happily eating the flesh and bones, she felt a little moved.

"Sister Karen, try it, it's really great."

"Wow, this lemonade is so refreshing, so cool and sweet. Is it really only 300? It's the same price as a serving of grilled vegetable skewers."

Lin licked her lips and took out the remaining barbecue belonging to Bobri and Kallen from the dining car and put it away.

Popley noticed Lin's action and said in surprise:

"Sister Lin, you just licked your lips."

"No, that's not the case."

Bobri covered her cherry lips and smiled:

"Sister Lin, you didn't even get to eat the barbecue that the chef just made, did you?"

Seeing Lin's face turn red with embarrassment, Bobli quickly made way for her. The three of them were only one year apart in age, but they were good friends who grew up together. Bobli was the youngest, Karen was the oldest, and Lin was in the middle.

"Let's eat together, Sister Lin. Isn't Uncle Dart here to take the order? Even you haven't tasted it. This chef must have just arrived."

Pobley's analysis was very accurate. Lin nodded and said:

"His name is Feng Ling, and he is the owner of the new ranch, Morning Breeze Ranch. He has been working here part-time recently, and he helps my father run the kitchen."

"Is that the new ranch owner?"

"Yes, he is my junior fellow apprentice now."

After hearing what Lin said, Bobri and Kallen became interested. The three of them started chatting about Feng Ling while eating skewers.

……

The barbecue lasted for nearly two hours. Near ten o'clock in the evening, Feng Ling finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Master, Master, my magic power is almost exhausted. Please come and replace me. I really can't stand it anymore."

At this moment, Feng Ling finally understood the difficulties of the Zibo barbecue uncle.

Feng Ling leaned out of the kitchen window and waved to Dart.

At this time, Dart was enjoying the barbecue with his old friends, drinking cold beer and chatting, feeling very comfortable, but when he saw Feng Ling waving at him, he ran over without saying a word.

"Master, I can't do it anymore. I'm almost exhausted. My magic power is running out. I can't cast any magic anymore."

Dart hurriedly took a bottle of iced juice from his old friend's table and handed it to Feng Ling.

"Master, you have already mastered some of the techniques, so I will leave it to you. I don't have many dishes left, so I will go back first.

Feng Ling, whose magic power was about to run out, had very little physical strength left. Although he had his own innate skills, as long as either his physical strength or his magic power did not return to 0, he would not become weak. However, as these two attributes dropped below 50, Feng Ling finally experienced what it felt like to be weak due to an overdraft of magic power.

Dart felt bad when he saw the tired Feng Ling. He was the one who dominated the main force tonight. Fortunately, Feng Ling said that his magic power was not depleted much. But even so, Feng Ling had been using magic cooking since 7:30 until almost 10 o'clock. He really tried his best.

Seeing the guests outside still shouting for the food to be served, who would have thought that just because the food was so delicious, they actually called their relatives and friends over, even though they were told that the food was out of stock, and they still went the extra mile by bringing their own ingredients.

Feng Ling looked up at the guests who were still eating and drinking, and recalled the scene before he traveled through time. He probably ate too much barbecue during the trip to Zibo. But now, he personally experienced the difficulties of the uncles. The uncles were tired, and he was tired too.

Before the barbecue, the old man was a real barbecue prince. After the barbecue, the old man just wanted to say, I can’t finish the barbecue! I can’t finish it at all!

Feng Ling was glad that there were only so many people tonight. If there were more, he really wouldn't be able to accommodate them. He no longer dared to brag. Before the roast, he vowed to Dart that he would leave it to him tonight. However, the cruel reality immediately made him behave like a human being.

The traditional barbecue method is far inferior to the magical cooking method, but even so, Feng Ling used his unique barbecue skills to win the favor of the audience, and they became even more excited!

Recalling the previous scene, when Feng Ling's magic power and physical strength dropped to more than 100, his body's own recovery speed was no longer enough, and Feng Ling made the first surrender application.

"Master, my magic power is decreasing too quickly. Please talk to everyone and see if I can stop using magic to cook. I will just use the normal grilling method."

After Dart discussed this news with the guests outside, he immediately agreed to Feng Ling's request, and then waited with anticipation for Feng Ling to serve the dishes without using magic.

The biggest difference between magic cooking and conventional cooking is the additional effects. Feng Ling's previous herbal tea, skewers, and milkshakes all incorporated magic cooking methods, so various enhancement effects were formed after production was completed, which led to everyone's applause, and they experienced firsthand how satisfying it was as good as talking nonsense.

After Feng Ling asked the apprentices to serve regular barbecue, the bonus effect became very low, but even so, it was much better than that of an ordinary chef.

In the mechanical civilization continent, the difference between a chef and a chef god is whether he can make food with enhanced effects using food that does not have magic power. This requirement is extremely difficult, and Feng Ling's level in the original world has already exceeded the standard. Now crossing to the magic continent is icing on the cake, and he has reached a higher level.

After tasting the food, everyone excitedly shouted and ordered this and that. As far as the area around Mineral Town was concerned, there were few people who could reach Feng Ling's level and make food with beneficial effects. That was the level of a top chef. The famous top chefs in the Principality of China all enjoyed higher offerings and treatment in big cities.

Dart called into the intercom:

"My dear girl, come to the kitchen."

"Good dad."

Lin stood up and bowed to her two best friends and said:

"Lily, Sister Lian, I have something to do first. You guys should go back and rest after you finish eating."

"Okay Sister Lin, go ahead."

"Pay attention to the fumes and be safe."

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to the two girls, Lin trotted into the kitchen and saw the tired Feng Ling at a glance.

"Hey, Xiao Fengzi, your magic power is exhausted."

Looking at Lin's teasing expression, Feng Ling didn't want to talk and just wanted to surrender.

"Yes, Senior Sister, that's all for tonight. I have to go back."

Lin said to Dart:

"Dad, let me take Feng Ling back. His home is quite far away. I am worried about him riding a bicycle here."

Dart packed the fried rice and handed it to Lin with concern.

"I just left over some fried rice. Disciple, go back and eat it before you take a rest."

"Okay, Master. I'm leaving now."

Feng Ling tried to cheer himself up. Lin carried the lunch box and he followed behind her. The two of them left the kitchen through the back door one after the other.

Looking through the restaurant window, the number of people having supper at the hotel tonight has reached more than 80 people. Because the dining area on the first floor was not large, many guests moved their tables outside the hotel. At first glance, those who didn't know would have thought it was a banquet.

"Senior sister, look over there."
