Chapter 30 Food (Part 1)

Yuelaiju, in the wing room of Yuechen.

Zhou Xuebin was tidying up kitchen utensils in his private kitchen, holding a piece of silk in his hand, and gently wiping a kitchen knife. His light and gentle movements were like stroking his own **.

"Master, you've been busy for a day, so you'd better take a break." Liu Qiang walked into the kitchen and said softly.

"It's okay, I'm not tired yet." Zhou Xuebin shook his head slightly and asked, "Where did you go this morning? Why haven't I seen you yet?"

"Master, today the restaurant recruits a chef, and I brought Yan Nantian to the interview, so I wasted some time in the morning." Liu Qiang replied.

"I remembered it. You mentioned it to me yesterday." Zhou Xuebin responded, showing a curiosity and said, "By the way, how was that guy interviewed?"

"That kid passed the interview and has become a temporary chef in the restaurant."

"That boy actually passed the test?" Zhou Xuebin seemed a little surprised and pondered for a moment and said, "Wu Qiankun has always been strict. How could he make a sixteen-year-old boy pass the test?"

"Master, at the beginning, I didn't think Yan Nantian could pass the test, but I didn't expect this kid to hide it and his cooking skills were amazing." Liu Qiang smiled bitterly and said.

"Oh, it's not easy to win your praise. What kind of cooking skills does this kid have?" Zhou Xuebin asked.

"At the beginning, Master Wu felt that Yan Nantian was young and wanted to make things difficult for him, so he asked him to divide the entire barbarian bull beast within one hour before allowing Yan Nantian to pass the test. He never thought that Yan Nantian's kid's sword skills were amazing, and he divided the barbarian bull beast in less than half an hour. At that time, he was shocked and stunned." Liu Qiang said with a smile.

"Splitting a barbarian beast in half an hour? This kid's sword technique is so powerful? I remember he has never cultivated spiritual power." Zhou Xuebin said with a slight expression.

For a spiritual chef, it may not be difficult to divide a bull beast in half an hour, but for an ordinary chef, it is extremely difficult to do.

"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have expected this kid to be so powerful in swordsmanship, and Master Wu seemed to appreciate him a little." Liu Qiang said.

"This is interesting." Zhou Xuebin smiled, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and said, "You bring him to see me tomorrow, and I want to talk to him in person."

Although Zhou Xuebin had only seen Yan Nantian, Zhou Xuebin used the tofu that Yan Nantian invented and made every day, and invisibly brought into his relationship with Yan Nantian.

"Yes, Master."

After seeing Yan Nantian's swordsmanship, Liu Qiang originally planned to recommend it to Zhou Xuebin. Now Zhou Xuebin has taken the initiative to ask for Yan Nantian, and Liu Qiang is naturally happy to agree.

...

The time of happiness is always short. Because I was thinking about tomorrow's competition, Yan Nantian only stayed in Yipinju for an hour, and then returned to Yuelaiju Restaurant.

After Yan Nantian returned to Yuelaiju, he put his belongings in the dormitory and immediately rushed to the kitchen of Yuelaiju. At this time, it was already past the time to eat, but there were not many people in the kitchen.

The back kitchen used for temporary kitchens is similar to the "Yuechen Room" used for Lingchu, but the Yuechen Room has more kitchen utensils and the ingredients are more precious.

However, compared to the kitchen in ordinary restaurants, this place is a higher level. With everything you need in the kitchen, Yan Nantian also successfully received a set.

Yan Nantian became familiar with various kitchen utensils, sharpened the knife assigned to him, cleaned the pots, bowls, scoops and basins, and then began to become familiar with various ingredients.

A chef who is not familiar with the ingredients is like a soldier who has gone to the battlefield but forgot to carry bullets. At the beginning, he may be able to hold on for a while, and he will definitely die miserably after the battle.

No matter how good a chef is in cooking, he will feel at a loss when facing unfamiliar ingredients, just like a liberal arts student doing science test papers. Even if he has rich experience in exams, he will lack basic knowledge.

Moreover, Feng Shuangxi had a prompt before to let Yan Nantian be familiar with the ingredients in the kitchen. Although he was not sure whether this prompt was related to the content of the competition, Yan Nantian felt that he should give it a try.

The ingredients were placed in the kitchen wing room. Yan Nantian poured a cup of water, then walked into the wing room where the ingredients were filled, took a sip of water, tasted one ingredient, and became as familiar with the taste of each ingredient as possible.

Since his rebirth, Yan Nantian has been practicing the true interpretation of the tongue. With decades of memory and experience, the tongue's sensitivity and judgment of taste has far surpassed that of ordinary people.

In addition, the owner of this body has been in the chef's family since he was a child and is very familiar with all kinds of ingredients. Yan Nantian absorbed the previous memories of this body, so Yan Nantian was very quick to get familiar with the ingredients.

Although I am very confident in my cooking skills, this place is not the earth after all; and this world also has unique cooking skills, and the level of a chef is no worse than that of the earth.

Therefore, Yan Nantian did not dare to take it lightly. He prepared until the early morning to taste all the ingredients and basically mastered the taste of most of the ingredients. Then he dragged his tired body back to the dormitory to rest.

...

In the early morning, the warm sunshine shines on the ground.

The temporary chef at Yuelaiju started preparing breakfast very early, three-fresh buns, snowflake steamed eggs, jade steamed buns, five-spice vegetarian dishes, and nine-grade lotus seed porridge...

Every dish is made by famous chefs, and every dish is very sophisticated. Even Yan Nantian, a famous chef, couldn't help but be amazed in his heart after seeing everyone's cooking skills.

The temporary kitchen helper is to be responsible for the employees’ three meals a day. After cooking breakfast, many temporary kitchen helpers became idle and everyone got together to have a meal.

Although Yan Nantian is a newcomer, he has become the focus of everyone's attention because of his cooking skills with Zhang Hengchun. Many people took the initiative to say hello to him.

After Yan Nantian greeted everyone, he also sat on the dining table to have a meal. Breakfast was relatively simple, but the simpler the dishes were, the more tested the chef's cooking skills.

Yan Nantian picked up a jade steamed bun, which was made of a food called snow vegetable and similar to cornmeal. The noodles are soft and have a chewy texture. The snow vegetable is fragrant, sweet and crispy.

Except for the jade steamed buns, Yan Nantian tasted the rest of the food one by one and found that each dish was very delicious, not bad at all compared to the five-star hotel on earth.

Seeing Yan Nantian sitting together for dinner, the chefs around him couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Brother Yan, aren't you going to compete with Zhang Hengchun for cooking today? Did Mr. Feng tell me the specific time?"

"I remember Mr. Feng mentioned it, it should have been this morning." Yan Nan Tiandao.

"Oh, what is the content of the competition?" asked another chef.

"I don't know this either, and Mr. Feng won't reveal it easily." Yan Nantian said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, eat quickly. Maybe after the meal, Mr. Feng will host the competition." Another helper said excitedly.

These temporary chefs are not allowed to go out at will, but they cook, eat, sleep every day. They live a very monotonous life without any passion. Now Zhang Hengchun and Yan Nantian are competing for cooking skills, which immediately becomes the focus of everyone's gossip and concern.

After dinner, many chefs gathered in the yard and were discussing the cooking skills in a low voice. Yan Nantian stood aside and closed his eyes to rest, not to pretend to be a master, but to sleep too late last night and wanted to take the opportunity to raise his spirits.

Suddenly, a chef pointed at the door of the yard and shouted: "Look, Zhang Hengchun is here too."

The words of this chef immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the door and found that Zhang Hengchun had indeed come in, and there was a man next to him.

"Ah, isn't the person next to Zhang Hengchun, the official chef Liu brother next to Lingchu?" said a sharp-eyed chef.

"Yes, I heard that this Senior Brother Liu is not only a formal chef, but also a disciple of Wu Qiankun Lingchu. His identity and status are not comparable to us."

"Zhang Hengchun and Senior Brother Liu have a good time. It seems that Senior Brother Liu is here to support Zhang Hengchun." Many chefs said even more excitedly.

At this time, Yan Nantian was also observing Zhang Hengchun and Liu Qiming. Seeing that the two had a close relationship, his previous doubts suddenly became clear. The thing he appreciated by Wu Qiankun should be the secret told by Liu Qiming.

"Look, isn't that big man Liu Qiang's chef? Why did he come too?" Another scream rang out.

"Liu Bangchu is Zhou Lingchu's confidant. Could it be that Senior Zhou sent him?"

"Oh my God, it's just a small competition. How could it attract so many big shots? Could it be that this competition has already alarmed the two masters of Ling Chu?" A chef guessed in shock.
