I have a Yokai cookbook [Gourmet]

"I reject."

Chi Ming rubbed Pao Ding slowly without raising his head.

Xia Huo had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat. She was a little surprised that the other party refused without even thinking about it. You must know that the wealth she has accumulated over the years is enough to buy a mansion.

"Don't you want to see her get home safely with your own eyes?" Chi Ming put Pao Ding away, stood up, and leaned over to look at this weak woman who was about to disappear.

"Will you see it with your own eyes? Hehe, I'm about to lose my wits..." So what can I think.

Xia Huo was a little self-deprecating, her eyes gradually dimmed, the spark inside had been extinguished, and she had accepted such an ending frankly.

"If I say I can keep you alive, are you willing to make a contract with me?" Chi Ming stared at her closely.

In fact, he also struggled at the beginning, but Bai Yao told him that in a situation like Xia Huo, as long as he wanted to, he could still strip Gu Huo.As long as only Xia Huo's name is written in the recipe, Gu Huo will completely disappear from this world.

"If you can really do it, I'd like to give it a try." Xia Huo glanced at the sleeping girl in his arms, and finally nodded.

It would be a lie to say that she is tired, but she still has obsession with this world, and Xiaoya is her last tie.

Only then did Chi Ming call out the recipe, bit his finger without hesitation, and wrote on the blank paper: Xia Huo

Before Xia Huo could react, his body flew into the recipe as if being attracted by force.

What is a crow?

Chi Ming opened the cookbook and saw that his brows were almost knotted. This was not at all the same as the colorful portraits in his memory.

He looked at a small, dark, sleeping crow on the blank page, and began to wonder if he had made a mistake in one step and signed the crow in by mistake.

Two shiny red horses walked gracefully, pulling the carriage behind them steadily, making "click" and "click" sounds, and drove slowly on the bustling street.

"Brother Chi, have we arrived at Jiangze Mansion? It looks so bustling here, full of people." The girl's voice was clear and refreshing, coming from the carriage like a silver bell.

"Ah."

Chi Ming lowered the brim of his hat, but even so, passers-by still looked back at him frequently.Some bold ones even threw sachets at him.

Jiang Ze's folk customs are more open than he knows.

There were all kinds of sachets at his feet, but he didn't even look at them.

Until he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure that could no longer be familiar.

Just as he was about to say hello, he saw the other party gently waving his sleeves, and an object flew towards him in a parabola. He caught it with his backhand, and it turned out to be a black wallet with dark patterns. of gold bars.

The corner of his mouth twitched, that's not how money is spent.

He looked up towards the window where the man was standing, but the figure of the man had long since disappeared.

If it weren't for the gold in his hand, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

After leaving with Xia Huo's treasure, the entire island sank to the bottom of the lake overnight, and the soulless puppets on the island were buried in the clear lake together.

"Brother Chi, I, I'm a little nervous." The girl just lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing a pure and immature face.

"It's okay, I'm so close to the hometown, your family must miss you very much." Chi Ming didn't look back, and continued to drive forward in the carriage.Li's house is just around the corner of this street.

The result of his inquiry was almost the same as what Xia Huo told him.

The Li family couple have not given up on finding the whereabouts of the child these years, which shows that they have not given up on Xiaoya.This is a blessing in misfortune. He has seen too many parents who abandon girls as burdens because of famine and poverty.

It may be a good thing for Xiaoya not to remember what happened on the island.

"Brother Chi, I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid that my parents won't like me." Xiaoya bit her lip, a little worried.She was a child raised by a peasant woman, and her biological mother was born in a famous family.

If it wasn't for the accidental death of her adoptive mother, there would be no place for her to live in the village, and she would not come here as an unaccompanied person.

"There are no parents in the world who don't like their children. Stop thinking about it." Chi Ming comforted. In fact, he also had some worries in his heart.

After losing her youngest daughter, Lin, the mistress of the Li family, became ill. Her father-in-law adopted a girl from outside in order to cure her heart disease.After the girl came, Lin's condition gradually improved.

And that girl has also become the treasure of the Li family. There are two elder brothers who dote on her, and they have been living a life without worrying about food and clothing.The Li family is a big family in Jiang Ze, and they also have a place in the culinary world. The Rongji Building was opened by the Li family.

"Get out of the carriage, we're here." Chi Ming jumped out of the carriage first.

Xiaoya also jumped out of the carriage, and realized that her behavior just now was not in line with the style of a lady, and bit her lip regretfully.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for here?" The boy at the door was stunned when he saw a young woman who looked like his wife.

"I, I'm looking for your wife." Xiaoya didn't know how to introduce herself.As if thinking of something, she took out a jade pendant from her close-fitting sleeve pocket, with a lifelike Maitreya Buddha engraved on it, and the word Ya was engraved in small characters on the bottom.

"Please give this jade pendant to your wife, she will know it after seeing it." Xiaoya glanced at Chi Ming, saw him nodding, and then solemnly handed the jade pendant to the boy opposite.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Seeing the other party's displeasure, Xiaoya hastily stuffed a dime in. The other party looked down, and then reluctantly walked inside.

Li Pan'er had just come out of Lin's house, when she saw the doorkeeper looking over her head, she couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "You're not guarding the door, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, miss. Is the lady asleep? I need to find her." The servant smiled, with a flattering look in his eyes.

"Mother just fell asleep, what do you want from her?" Li Pan'er was born extremely round, with an oval face and willow eyebrows, giving people an extremely docile and easy-to-talk feeling.

"Miss, there is someone outside the door looking for Madam, and asked the little one to give this thing to Madam." The servant respectfully handed the jade pendant with excellent touch to Li Pan'er.

Li Pan'er stared at the jade pendant in her hand, and frowned involuntarily, but quickly covered up her unhappiness, and she still had the gentle appearance before.

"Give it to me, and I'll give it to my mother when she wakes up." Li Pan'er put the jade pendant away.

"This..." After all, they are doing things with money, and the people outside are still waiting, not to mention that the girl looks eighty-nine times like his wife.

The boy hesitated a little.

"Why are you still standing, you don't believe me?" Li Pan'er raised her brows slightly, revealing a hint of sharpness, the servant was frightened and hurriedly shook his head in denial.

"The little one will go down first." The young man thought to himself that the eldest lady might be angry, but no one knew, the master and his family spoiled the eldest lady to the sky, so how could the servants below dare to touch the eldest lady's eyebrows.

Xiaoya waited and waited for the man to come back, so she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

She walked back and forth a little restlessly.

Could it be that the Li family no longer wanted to recognize her as a wandering daughter.

Originally, Chi Ming's task had been completed by sending people there, but Xia Huo kept croaking in his ears, so he had to stay and wait and see.

As the sun was setting, the lad who came back from laziness saw that there were still people at the door, and suddenly he turned around and prepared to leave in despair.

"Hey, don't go, did you take my words with you?" Xiaoya grabbed the boy by the collar, because of the long wait, the initial hesitation turned into faint anger.

"Take it, take it, can you let it go first?" The little servant repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Then why did you come out until now, and why did you turn around and run when you saw me?" Xiaoya let go of her hand, feeling a little apprehensive about what she heard next.

"I have already given the things to the eldest lady. The lady is still sleeping, so I may not be able to see it for a while. I advise you to come back tomorrow." After all, the boy had put his mind to it, and didn't look at people with his nostrils at first. After all, the person in front of me looks very similar to Madam, if it is really the daughter Madam has been looking for, if he offends and dies, he may have to leave if he can't eat.

"Miss...you gave her my jade pendant?" Xiaoya had already heard from Chi Ming that her biological mother had adopted an adopted daughter, and she was still disappointed for a long time.

It felt like the position that originally belonged to her was suddenly taken by another person.

But when she thought that it was because of that person's company that her biological mother's condition gradually improved, she couldn't be harsh.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" A gentle male voice came from behind.

"My lord, this man has something to do with his wife." The boy was taken aback and hurriedly explained.

"Looking for your mother?" Li Xiu's eyes fell on the girl who was a head shorter than him, and he was shocked after just one glance.

"You, who are you?"

This girl looks exactly the same as her mother when she was young, but her eyebrows are more lively and less gentle.

"I, my name is Li Siya." Xiaoya looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of her, blushing and stammeringly explained.

"You people are really troublesome!" Chi Ming couldn't stand it any longer. He had been waiting from daytime until it was dark, and he hadn't gotten to the point yet.

"Who are you?" Li Xiu frowned and stared at the young man who was walking towards him slowly.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is her. She is your biological sister, the biological daughter your mother has been looking for for many years." Chi Ming yawned. He felt his stomach was already protesting. He ate less on the road, and he could smell the aroma of food floating over from various households, and he couldn't sit still.

"My real sister?" Even though it was not confirmed, the instinct of blood made him believe that the delicate and lovely girl in front of him was the sister that their family had been looking for for many years.

The boy was so shocked that he almost stuffed a goose egg, so he just said it, and at the same time wiped his sweat secretly. Fortunately, he was not very rude just now, but somehow the silver dime in his pocket seemed to be hot.

"Follow me first." Li Xiu pinched the bridge of his nose, turned around and strode towards the inner courtyard.

Li Xiu was thinking about how to explain to his mother along the way, and he didn't have too many other emotions for the person in front of him who claimed to be his younger sister.

"Brother, you're back." As soon as Li Pan'er saw Li Xiu, she jumped forward happily and hugged his arm affectionately.

"Well, I just got home." Li Xiu patted Li Pan'er on the head lovingly.

"Brother, are they...?" Li Pan'er was stunned when she saw the person behind Li Xiu, but she quickly restrained her emotions.

"They..." For a while, Li Xiu didn't know how to introduce the two behind him to his beloved sister.

"They are looking for mother, little sister, you go back first, brother will come to see you later." Li Xiu selfishly didn't want Li Pan'er to face this reality directly.But he swore in his heart that even if he found his own sister, his love for Li Pan'er would not be lessened.

A look of hurt flashed across Li Pan'er's eyes, she bit her lip and nodded cheerfully, "Okay, then Pan'er will go back first."

Li Xiu looked at Li Pan'er who was lost and left, feeling a little distressed.

"Wait." Xiaoya blocked Li Pan'er's way.

"Please return the jade pendant to me." Xiaoya bit her lip, looking desperate, her adoptive mother said that she had worn the jade pendant around her neck since she was born, and she had to take it back no matter what.

"I, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have the jade pendant you mentioned. Don't slander me." Li Pan'er's eyes flickered slightly, and she denied it through gritted teeth.

"The boy at the door just said that he gave it to you." Xiaoya was a little angry, and her whole face was full of anger.

"I really didn't take the jade pendant you mentioned." Li Pan'er was on the verge of crying, with tears hanging in her eyes, and a pitiful air, which made people feel a sense of protection for no reason.

"Enough! If Pan'er said she didn't take it, she didn't take it. Don't mess around here." Li Xiu pulled Xiaoya away who was standing in front of him with some distress, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

Xiaoya was pulled unsuspectingly and almost fell to the ground, if it wasn't for Chi Ming who pulled her in time.

She felt aggrieved, but she didn't want to cry in front of outsiders, so she could only bite her lips. Was the person who was so fierce to him just now really her own elder brother?

Without Yupei, how would she convince the Li family that she was their child.

Xiaoya regretted handing over the jade pendant so easily just now.

"Ya'er, is that you?" The woman's soft and graceful voice came from behind.

"Mother, why don't you sleep a little longer." Li Pan'er was the first to react, and trotted over to support the woman, even when she spoke, she had a hint of coquettishness.

Lin did not answer Li Pan'er's words, but walked towards Li Siya firmly.

"Son, can you let me see your neck?" Even though she was disappointed again and again, Lin was still full of hope, hoping that the cute child who only met once would still survive in this world.

"I……"

Seeing this kind woman in front of her, she couldn't say no, so she nodded stiffly.

Lin broke away from Li Pan'er's hand, Some Xiang eagerly opened Li Siya's collar.

Three small red moles dotted in a line on the white neck.

Lin covered her lips all of a sudden, tears of excitement flowed out.

The girl in front of her who was about the same age and looked almost like her was really her long-lost daughter.

"Son, I finally found you." Lin hugged Li Siya and said, "I thought I would never see you again in this life, but now that I have found you, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Xiaoya hugged Lin back somewhat at a loss. To be honest, at first she was repulsed by strangers. She was afraid that they would not accept her, and she was also afraid that she would not be able to integrate into the new life.

"Mother, are you being too sloppy, she, not necessarily. You forgot, these years, people have always come to the door under the name of the younger sister. Which time is it true?"

Li Xiu first glanced at Li Pan'er, and saw her rubbing her fingers with her head down, feeling a little pity in her heart for no reason.

"Xiu'er, you trust mother, this time it must be true. This is my mother's intuition, she is my Ya'er." Lin wiped her tears with a juan handkerchief, and said with some disapproval.

"It's cold outside, don't stand still, quickly follow mother into the house." Lin Shi took Li Siya's hand and walked inside, at this moment, she couldn't tolerate other people anymore.

After receiving the news, Li Zhengxian and his second son Li Da hurried back from the restaurant, but there was not much surprise on their faces, but a look of sadness on their faces.

The Li family had long since given up looking for the child who was taken away the day after he was born.Except for Mrs. Lin, no one in this family has any expectations for this child, even saying that it is dispensable.

Lin's illness has been repeated over the years, and she has never been very good, but she always misses the child who has no fate, and she can't get over that hurdle in her heart.The Li family simply let her go.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, the child could be found again, and he came to the door by himself.

But even if he came back, the gap of more than ten years could not be filled, and the child didn't know what he was raised.

Li Zheng was a little disgusted the first time he saw Li Siya. Is this girl who is dressed in ordinary clothes, looks not outstanding, and speaks and behaves vulgarly? Is it really his child?

On the other hand, when he looked at the adopted daughter who was as pretty as a peony flower, his prejudice against Li Siya grew deeper.

The daughter of his Li family should be as knowledgeable and sensible as Pan'er, with all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and most importantly, good cooking skills.If Rong Jilou hadn't had Pan'er's blessing these years, he might have been defeated long ago.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly fell on Chi Ming who was beside him.

I heard that this young man escorted Li Siya back along the way.

Although Tiansheng's folk customs are open, but this man is unmarried and the woman is not married, and he is alone and widowed along the way, which is really out of place.

"I heard that the young hero escorted the little girl back along the way?" Li Zheng first winked at the servant behind him.

The boy knew it, and immediately went forward with the tray, and lifted the red cloth, and there were two layers of silver densely placed on it.

"This is a thank you gift from the old man to the young man, and I hope the young man will not tell about escorting the little girl to confess his relatives after he returns." Li Zheng cupped his hands first, and did not intend to keep anyone for dinner.

Chi Ming is not polite, all the money has been delivered to him, why doesn't he want it.

"You're welcome, I'll keep my mouth shut." Chi Ming waved his hand. Since the person has been delivered, he should go back. To be honest, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as comfortable as sleeping in his own bed.

"Since the people have been delivered, I'll take my leave first." Chi Ming really didn't want to deal with these pedantic people.

Li Zheng didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, but for some reason, he always felt that the boy in front of him seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Before Chi Ming could reach the door, Xiaoya ran out panting.

At this time, she has been completely new from head to toe. At first glance, she really looks like a young lady, but her stuffing is revealed with just one opening of her mouth.

"Brother Chi, are you leaving now? I, I..." I don't want you to go.But how could she say that as a girl.

"Well, since you have arrived home safely, then I should go back to Tongjun Mansion. If you encounter problems in the future, you can also come to Tongjun Mansion to find me." It's just that this is Xiaoya's own choice when she wakes up.

He didn't know what happened to the Li family, but Lin was really kind to this daughter.

Xia Huo kept croaking in his ears. If she hadn't lost her inner alchemy and couldn't transform into a human form, he would have suspected that she was going to jump out and become a demon again.

But her maternal love for Xiaoya is true.

"Brother Chi, thank you." Xiaoya bit her lip and nodded.

She knew from the beginning that brother Chi would leave.

Compared with her own elder brother, she felt that elder brother Chi was more like a real elder brother.

The first thing she saw after waking up was Chi Ming, so she had a natural sense of intimacy and dependence on him.

But she always had a very uneasy feeling in her heart. She felt that she seemed to have lost something very important, but no matter how she tried to recall it, she just couldn't remember it.

"En. There are some things I didn't want to say at first. Now that we have met each other, I, the eldest brother, will give you a few kind reminders."

"Although the Li family is your blood relative, after all, they have been separated for so many years, and people's hearts have changed. You can't listen to and believe in many things. You have to listen more and read more; the Lin family is a relative who really cares about you. You can open your heart to accept it." She, as for other people, don't need to care about their words and deeds. I have a cookbook here, you can study it in your spare time, or pass the time."

Chi Ming handed a thick cookbook to Li Siya.

"Ah, I can't take such a precious thing." Although Li Siya was born in the countryside, she still understands the preciousness of contemporary recipes.

"I didn't give this to you. Your adoptive mother asked me to hand it over to you. Also, this is a 1000 tael silver note, and you take it too. This is what your adoptive mother asked me to give you, because I owe him kindness. This is what was promised to her before."

"Mom, my mother has done so much for me." Li Siya was so moved that her eyes filled with tears. She always thought that her adoptive mother didn't love her. She wiped the corners of her eyes and showed a smile from the heart.

She promised her adoptive mother that she would spend every day happily.

"Thank you."

"It's useless for me. It's so late and I asked you to find a place to live outside." Li Siya was a little sad, she knew that her biological father in name must have driven Brother Chi away.

"Stop thinking about it. Take care of yourself." Chi Ming jumped into the carriage, and looked back at the slender girl standing there holding the door.

He sometimes thought that if he hadn't landed on the island, she might still be living a life of isolation.

He didn't know if it was right to bring her back to the secular world, to her biological parents.

But there are no ifs in many things, all he can do is look forward.

In the first month, most of the shops on the street are still open.

Every family is busy visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, and paying New Year's greetings to each other.

After Chi Ming left Li's mansion, he found a nearby inn to stay for one night, and planned to go to the pier early tomorrow morning to see parallel imports.

Jiangze is close to the East China Sea, and its aquatic products are much richer than Tongjun Mansion.

Chi Ming ordered sea urchin fried rice and land fish seafood porridge, plus a sea cucumber dumpling.

Seafood is a fresh word.

Even if you don't use soy sauce, bean paste and other things to add freshness, it can produce a very delicious taste after simple cooking.

The deliciousness of sea urchin fried rice is different from that of crab roe fried rice. After stir-frying, the sea urchin is crispy and fresh, and the rice is golden yellow under the egg wash. However, the fishy smell of sea urchin is strong, so it needs to be served with ginger, cooking wine, and shallots to reconcile and remove the flavor. .

Probably because he was really hungry, Chi Ming quickly finished a large bowl of sea urchin fried rice.

When he finished eating, he remembered that he also ordered porridge and dumplings.

Dadiyu seafood porridge is somewhat similar to raw seafood porridge. The porridge base is made with dried earth fish and scallops. It needs to be cooked slowly until the porridge is sticky and sticky.

The bowl of earth fish and seafood porridge in front of me obviously lacks heat, the color of the porridge is clear, and the aroma is not enough.

The sea cucumber dumplings didn't have the taste he expected either, only sea cucumber was added inside, and the fishy smell was also strong.He somewhat misses the sea cucumber dumplings he made by himself in the past.

The sea cucumber dumplings are not as the name suggests. In fact, the fillings can be seasoned with sea rice, bedding, pork belly and chives. He once tried adding wild shepherd's purse in spring, which is not only delicious, but also very fragrant.

Such dumplings cannot be fried with the hot oil in the south. Instead, they need to be cooked with high soup. When the white and fat dumplings float and dance in the tumbling water bubbles, it means that the inside is cooked.

He was a little eager to move, and his ultimate pursuit of the best taste of food made him step out of the room without struggling for a few seconds.

When the shopkeeper heard that the other party wanted to cook by himself, he originally wanted to refuse, but for the sake of money, he naturally gave the green light all the way.

They were in the inn business, and they didn't care too much about the food. It was just for the convenience of the guests. When they heard that the other party wanted to cook by themselves, they couldn't help shaking their heads secretly.

Although the fat cook has a bad temper, his cooking skills are still remarkable.

The young man in front of him looks weak and weak, and he doesn't seem to be a person who can cook. Why bother to mess around in the burning environment of the kitchen? It's just a whim.

It's just a pity for those good ingredients.

The shopkeeper shook his head, touched the silver in his pocket sighingly, and said with a smile, "It's not my money anyway, let him go."

Chi Ming went down to the kitchen behind the lobby on the first floor led by the waiter.

Seeing the fat cook lock the door, the waiter hurriedly called him to stop.

"Hey, fat cook, don't close the door yet."

"It's the end of the hour, and I'm going home." The fat cook was a little unhappy. It was such a cold day, and it was Chinese New Year. If it wasn't for the sake of double the wages, who would want to go outside.

"Come on, if you have something to do, go back first. This guest is just borrowing the kitchen." The shop waiter didn't look at the fat cook after finishing speaking, and led the people inside.

Borrow the kitchen?

The fat cook frowned, the kitchen was like a battlefield, this was his fat cook's position, where did he allow outsiders to run wild in his territory.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the tall and thin young man behind the waiter in the shop. What does this guy mean? He obviously spent a lot of energy just now to make so much food and send it over. Now he wants to cook by himself?

Is it disgusting that his cooking is not delicious?

Although his fat cook is not the chef in those restaurants, he still has the dignity of being a cook.

He really doesn't want to leave now.

"Guest officer, the shopkeeper said that you can use the ingredients here as you like." The shop owner was very kind, but there was still a hint of hope in his heart.

Most of the kitchen is full of dried seafood, and the rest are some raised fish and shrimp, which is quite troublesome to deal with.

Chi Ming turned around and decided to make a pot of seafood porridge to relieve his boredom.

The quality of the scallops is good. Although they are not big, they have the same color inside and outside, equal in size, and are golden yellow. Such scallops are relatively fresh at first glance.

He grabbed a handful of scallops, washed them, drained them, and then soaked them in water.

Then he caught a grass carp in the water tank, quickly removed the internal organs and scales, sliced ​​out the fish meat with a paddle, leaving only the fish bones and fish head, and then cut the fish fillets into transparent thin slices thinner than rice paper.

After the scallops are soaked for a quarter of an hour, they need to be steamed on high heat for another quarter of an hour.

The fat master stood aside with his waist thrust up. If at first he was still holding the mentality of watching the other party play a monkey show, then when the other party skillfully removed the bones of the fish, he wondered if he was dreaming.

He rubbed his eye sockets in disbelief, and finally opened his mouth wide to come to a conclusion: I'm afraid this person is here to mess things up!

But if he wants to make authentic Dadi fish porridge, why does he use raw fish? Isn’t he afraid that the fresh fish has a strong fishy smell, is not resistant to cooking, and the taste is not as delicious as dried fish?

Chi Ming tore the steamed scallops into filaments along the texture, then started the pot and lit the fire, poured in rice and water, and simmered.

The waiter in the shop shook his head and left when he saw this step, thinking that the other party could come up with a new trick, but it was the same as the fat master, adding water and stewing.

The fat master was also a little boring at this time, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't want to leave. Instead, he moved a stool and sat down at the door, his beard all over his face was very conspicuous.

If the clear soup lacks water, can the seafood porridge cooked by him be delicious?

Although this fish bone soup can make the rice soup thicker and milky white, it is far from the deliciousness of dried fish from the earth.

If you want seafood porridge to be delicious, in addition to the freshness and taste of the ingredients, the heat is also extremely important.

But at night, Chi Ming didn't want to really spend these two hours.

After promising Bai Yao a big bowl of seafood porridge, Bai Yao also started breathing fire from an angle that the fat master couldn't see.

The water for seafood porridge is not the water in the tank, but well water.

The cooking wine is not ordinary wine, but Hu Batian's latest rice wine, which tastes sweet and has a strong aroma.

Time passed bit by bit, and the flavor of the food was also fermented and formed in the raging fire. With the sound of bubbles bursting more and more clearly, Chi Ming slowly lifted the tight-fitting pot lid.

Following his movements, a strange fragrance rampaged through the entire kitchen with an extremely domineering attitude, and then turned to the door, spreading outwards.

The fat cook, who was already drowsy and dozing off, grabbed the air indiscriminately and fell to the ground suddenly, but even so, he still kept sucking air through his nose while rubbing his sore knee .

"Strange, what is so fragrant?"

He followed the smell and saw that the young man was throwing slices of crystal clear fish fillets into the tumbling thick porridge.

He was speechless for a while in surprise.

Is this really what that young man made?

"Why does your seafood porridge cook so deliciously? My nose is almost smelling good." The fat cook refused to accept anyone, but those cooks with excellent cooking skills, but he entered the industry late, and no one was willing to accept him as an apprentice .

These years, he has been groping to cook some food by himself. Anyway, the diners in the inn are not picky eaters. While he is happy that the work is not heavy, at the same time, he is a little envious of the cooks who are sought after by the gourmets.

Life is alive, no one has a hobby.

He likes to study cooking.

As the saying goes, a cook who doesn't want to compete for the first place is not a good cook. He is so big that he doesn't want to be the first, but he really wants to ask a master for advice.

The fat cook swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, only to feel that his whole body began to heat up, and his chest began to throb wildly, as if he was carrying a deer.

"Master, please accept my apprentice's bow." Once the fat cook is sure, he really can't pull ten cows back.

He has now identified the person in front of him. With such a skill, if he learns a little, he can shock the culinary world.

"You've found the wrong person, I won't accept disciples." Chi Ming turned sideways to avoid the other party's kneeling salute.

This person worships whatever he wants, but he hasn't thought about taking disciples yet.

He is used to Buddhism, and when you say that suddenly there is an apprentice behind him, waiting for you to teach every day, he will have a headache just thinking about it.

What's more, he also upholds a principle, no matter what he does to people or things, he will be responsible to the end for what belongs to him.

But now he himself is busy with the task of recipes, how can he have the energy to teach an apprentice well.

"As long as you are willing to accept me, I am willing to let me be Pang Haihai as a cow or a horse. Master, you can accept me." The fat cook really fell under Chi Ming's chef's pants.

He has never been so determined as he is now. He always feels that if he fails to seize the opportunity tonight, he will miss a chance to turn his life around.

"Sorry, I really don't have the energy to accept disciples right now." Chi Ming mixed the fish fillets into the thick rice soup with a spoon, and sprinkled finely chopped green onions.

It was not that the fat cook had never been rejected in his early years, but this time he was not discouraged, instead he secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

His grandfather once said that nothing is difficult in the world if there is a heart, so he has identified this master, even if the other party does not accept him, it is good to follow him.

He opened his mouth, licked his lips again and said, "Then do you need a helper who cuts and washes vegetables, the kind that doesn't charge?"

Chi Ming thought about the free vegetable cutter, and Chi Yan already had Zhengyuan and Zhengshou, so it seemed that he didn't really need it.

He shook his head.

The fat cook was in a hurry; "Then the groom who drives the carriage will always want it?" He saw this man driving the carriage by himself.

Driver, no, he has already decided on a candidate, he shook his head again, and scooped all the seafood porridge in the pot into it.

The fat cook wiped the sweat from his brow while enduring the torment of delicious food, and said with a broken pot, "I will give you the deed of sale, and you will be my master from now on. Is this finally over?"

"No need, I'm sorry." Chi Ming was taken aback for a moment. Poor people had no choice but to sell their children to rich people as slaves. No one would voluntarily sign a contract of sale, not to mention that the fat cook didn't look like he was innocent. Money, even this layer of body fat is not raised in a day or two.
