I open a restaurant in Xiujie

Fish and shrimp soup is even more delicious than sashimi.

That's a completely different feeling.

If fish sticks are the icy flowers blooming on the taste buds in the twelfth lunar month of winter, fish and shrimp soup is like the warm spring breeze, so soft and mellow, it is easy for people to completely sink into it.

At least now, the two siblings who are each holding a bowl of hot soup feel that they are stepping on the clouds, surrounded by gentle streams, surrounded by the warmth of the sun shining on them softly, delicious The silver shrimp swims happily in the water, the flesh of the fish is also soft and glutinous, and the entrance turns into a stream of heat, pouring over the limbs and bones.

The young man had long since lost his stubborn mouth. He gulped down the hot soup while crying: "Sister, why is this soup... I feel so happy after drinking it, I really want to cry..."

"Me, me too," the girl cried even more, "I miss Dad, the soup he made is so delicious, but I can't drink it anymore..."

Yu Xiaotan also took a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.

The noodle soup is pure white like condensed milk, fat but not greasy, and when scooped up with a spoon, it condenses like beads, obviously mellow to the extreme.

A few scallions floated on the surface of the soup, and the emerald green was very eye-catching. The fish fillets and shrimp meat sank below, and the fragments of Dao rhyme contained in the body were also quietly transformed into a huge spiritual flow under Yu Xiaotan's skillful cooking. It lingers on the surface of the soup, making the whole pot of soup show a radiant luster.

"Have you drank the soup that can make people feel happy..." Yu Xiaotan swallowed, feeling carefully, "Well, no wonder it's called worry-free shrimp. It seems that Tianzhou's ingredients are also very special."

A new illustrated book of recipes can be opened.

Not bad.

And Yu Xiaotan discovered that, perhaps because the ingredients in Tianzhou contain fragments of Taoism, the food here has a stronger influence on the diners than outside after being cooked into dishes.

For example, the power in this fish soup that makes people so happy that they can't help but cry comes from the silver shrimp named "Worriless Shrimp".

But the opposite is also true, Yu Xiaotan also understood why it was said that dark cooking can kill people.

The fragments of Taoism contained in the ingredients, if handled properly, can make the food more delicious, but if they are not handled properly, the fragments cannot be completely integrated with the food, and these Taoisms can also be turned into tearing the sea of ​​consciousness, The sharp blade piercing through the meridians silently pierces people's guts.

Tianzhou's spiritual chef is indeed a skilled job.

But isn't this wonderful situation also very challenging?

Yu Xiaotan's thoughts drifted away, and when he was eager to try, the siblings on the other side also gradually calmed down, recovering from the influence of fish sticks and fish soup.

After recovering, I realized more clearly how shocking the serving of fish sticks and fish and shrimp soup was.

"Is he really coming to Tianzhou for the first time?"

The young man looked at Yu Xiaotan dumbly and in shock, and the turbulent waves in his heart almost swallowed him up: "Even if you are a powerful spirit chef, it doesn't make sense to just come to Tianzhou, and you can quickly familiarize yourself with and use the characteristics of this place to cook the ingredients!"

The father of the two of them is a spiritual chef, so they also know a thing or two about the key points of cooking spiritual food.

The siblings know that even if the ingredients are the same, the fragments of Taoism contained in them are not the same, and the methods are often not the same.

Unless it is like the recipe in their hands, with the violent method of "roasting", all the fragments of the Tao of all attributes are roasted and blended into the fish.

Although this kind of recipe is stable, ordinary people can cook step by step and will not make dark dishes, but it actually wastes the properties of the ingredients and the precious principles contained in the ingredients.

In the process of violent roasting, most of the Dao fragments dissipate in the process of melting, and only a few can remain as spiritual power.

The two dishes in front of him are also flying fish, but the laws contained in their bodies are one of cold and one of fire. Yu Xiaotan accurately judged this point, so one is made of fresh meat and the other is made of hot soup.

"We haven't had time to tell him, did he really see this through himself?"

The boy sneaked a suspicious look at Yu Xiaotan, raised his elbow and poked the girl: "Could it be that a blind cat met a dead mouse... Sister, what is the conversion rate of his fish sticks and soup?"

The girl gave the young man a displeased look, raised her hand and knocked off the young man's elbow: "Why do you call a blind cat meeting a dead mouse? That's called intuition, an unparalleled gifted intuition!"

She also couldn't think of how Yu Xiaotan understood all of this without a teacher. It can only be attributed to the fact that the other party is really a very powerful spiritual chef. He has an unimaginable talent in cooking ingredients. Speaking of conversion rate...

The girl pursed her lips, feeling the strong stimulus from the umami storm still left on her taste buds, she couldn't help but licked her teeth, and whispered: "I don't know, but I think it should be very high."

Definitely high.

The spiritual energy in his body at this moment can explain everything.

How long has it been since you felt this spiritual energy?

The hearts of both of them were agitated. Since their father passed away, the spiritual power in their bodies had lost the way to replenish, and their cultivation bases had been continuously falling, and they might fall below the consecration soon.

And with this meal of fish sticks and soup, they not only stabilized their previous cultivation, but there were faint signs of advancement in their bodies.

more importantly……

The boy and the girl looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and suddenly there was a "plop", and they both knelt down on the ground.

It startled Yu Xiaotan who was cleaning the pot beside him.

"What are you doing?"

"I beg Master to help us participate in the Spirit Cauldron Conference!" The foreheads of the two were pressed tightly to the ground, "As long as you are willing to help, Master, no matter what you ask, we will definitely do it for you!"

Yu Xiaotan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and it took a lot of effort to pull the two of them up from the ground.

"Let's not mention the request for now," he asked, "What is this Spirit Cauldron Conference?"

……

Tianzhou respects spirit chefs, but not everyone is qualified to call themselves a spirit chef. In order to prevent some people who can only cook dark dishes from taking advantage of troubled waters, gradually capable spirit chefs gathered together and organized the Spirit Cauldron Conference.

In fact, it is a special form of assessment.

Yu Xiaotan listened quietly, thinking that the Spirit Cauldron Conference was a bit similar to the Spirit Chef assessment he had participated in before.

The girl continued: "This grand event will be held in different regions, and the time span is not uniform. Three years is a small meeting, and qualified people are selected from each region as spiritual chefs; ten years is a general meeting. Compare."

In the year of the conference, the top spiritual chefs selected from various regions of Tianzhou will go to the center of Tianzhou to have a culinary showdown by the bank of the thunder pool, and the "strongest spirit chef" selected will be able to enter the thunder pool. , The opportunity to pay homage to the ruins of the kitchen fairy.

"Wait, the ruins of the kitchen fairy?" Yu Xiaotan asked curiously, "What's in there?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "How do we know, these are just hearsay."

There was a blush of embarrassment on her face, and she lowered her head slightly: "Although our father... Although he participated in every session, he has never passed the selection of the Lingding Small Association, so, so he is not really a real spiritual chef. ,We are only……"

The girl's voice is getting lower and lower, thin and weak.

Yu Xiaotan nodded clearly: "I understand."

He could imagine that picture.

A father with not outstanding aptitude devoted his whole life to the spirit chef, writing down a recipe with all his heart and soul. Such a person who has the courage to pursue his ideals, even if he has not been recognized by the spirit tripod conference in his life, Yu Xiaotan is willing to call him Spirit cook.

"Your father is a respectable person," Yu Xiaotan said softly, "By the way, can I exchange the recipes for fish sticks and fish and shrimp soup with the recipes in your golden hairpin?"

The girl raised her head in a daze, and surprise gradually appeared in her eyes: "Do you want to?"

She was a little embarrassed, and twisted her hands in front of her body: "This is not a fair deal. Master, your cooking skills are beyond our reach. I'm afraid the recipes in the golden hairpin are not worth mentioning to you."

After eating Yu Xiaotan's food, the girl realized what kind of existence this person was in front of her.The recipes that her father wrote down with all his energy were far inferior to the dishes that the other party prepared casually. This was already a huge gap.

Yu Xiaotan shook his head.

"All efforts are worthy of respect."

He raised his finger and pointed at the gradually dimming sky, and said softly: "It's getting late, I'm afraid it's not safe to stay in the forest, why don't we talk while walking?"

……

Night fell and the stars hung high.

At the gate of the town at the other end of Tianzhou, a young man in white also ushered in.

After Ji Chuchen landed, his first reaction was to look for Yu Xiaotan. When they entered Tianzhou, they were holding hands tightly, but the situation in Tianzhou was more complicated than he imagined. There are not even a single shade of woods, let alone human shadows.

Running all the way, even at the expense of spiritual power, Ji Chuchen finally arrived at a town when it was dark.After entering the city, he immediately stopped the visitor and described Yu Xiaotan's figure and appearance: "Have you ever seen a boy like this?"

Passersby shook their heads.

At this moment, someone saw Ji Chuchen's extraordinary temperament, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, is this person you are looking for a spiritual chef?"

Ji Chuchen's thoughts turned, and he asked, "What about the spiritual chef?"

"The spiritual chef will definitely attend the Spirit Cauldron Conference," the man muttered, "If you are sure that he is in the southeast area of ​​Tianzhou, you can go to the Spirit Cauldron Conference to find him."

Southeast of Tianzhou?

There must be several other regions.

Ji Chuchen frowned slightly.

At this time, the previous person sneaked forward again, lowered his voice, and asked with great anticipation: "By the way, brother, you are going to the Spirit Cauldron Conference to find companions. You are also a spirit chef?"

Ji Chuchen was stunned and said, "The Spirit Cauldron Conference is related to the Spirit Chef?"

"Of course." The visitor slapped his thigh, "Brother, where did you come from, you don't even know this?"

"The Spirit Cauldron Conference is a grand event for the spiritual chefs, without the spiritual chefs, you wouldn't even be able to enter the venue!"

Is that so?

Ji Chuchen hasn't cooked a few times since she was a child.

He knows that cooking by himself is not good.

However, having eaten so many delicious dishes from Yu Xiaotan during this period of time, and seeing Yu Xiaotan's cooking process more than once, Ji Chuchen thought that if he followed the example, maybe...probably...maybe...you can also order some good dishes. ?

It's decided, let's do it.

Ever since, a certain peerless sword celestial whose ten fingers did not touch Yang Chunshui put his sword back into its sheath, gathered his sharp sword energy, and rushed to the person with a hearty and gentle smile, with a clear and convincing magnetic voice , resoundingly:

"That's right, I'm the Ling Chef."
