Chapter 4: The Soul of the Cook

The moon stars are scarce, and the spring breeze is cool, especially at this time, the air is very fragrant, which makes people intoxicated.

Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er walked all the way, and soon arrived at the kitchen, at this time, there were torches shaking in the kitchen, and someone shouted loudly:

"Catch the thief, catch the thief, catch the thief......"

"Oh no, there's a thief in the yard, we have to go back quickly. Liu Ling'er urged in shock, the villagers of Shilong are simple and have never encountered a thief.

So the two of them took two steps in three steps, and soon arrived at the kitchen.

In the courtyard, Liu's beard was about to float up, and he commanded several apprentices to start catching thieves, and just now a thief came to his own house, and jumped out of the window.

"You go there and have a look, you go to the kitchen and you go to the storeroom...... Liu said without stopping, and the apprentices kept running around.

Liu Ling'er and Ma Wenbing were shocked, such a big movement must be a big thief.

"Daddy, how can you make a thief? What have you dropped?" Liu Ling'er asked anxiously, if it wasn't something very important, it would be fine, if it was something very important, it would have to be reported to the official.

Liu pulled a bitter face and did not answer Liu Ling'er.

"Master, have you lost anything important?" Ma Wenbing also asked anxiously.

"Actually, I didn't lose anything important, just the plate of kung pao chicken you fried, I didn't have it as soon as I turned around, you say it's not angry?" asked Liu with a blow of his beard and glaring.

......

Hearing Daddy say that he lost a dish, Liu Ling'er wanted to cry without tears, "Hmph, it's quite annoying, Daddy, isn't it just a dish? Okay, okay, let's go back and rest, there are no thieves, it's all a misunderstanding. ”

So everyone left one after another, and finally fell asleep but was woken up by the master, and it was really a hundred unwilling.

"Alas, I can see clearly that it is a person, how can it be a night cat?" Liu said firmly.

"Ouch, Daddy, even if he is a man who doesn't steal money or other things, it means that he is a poor man, so what if he is allowed to eat a bowl of food? Liu Linger replied.

"No, I'm not going back, by the way, where did you two go?" Liu Yikou turned to stare at Liu Ling'er and Ma Wenbing with big eyes, and went out in the middle of the night so late...... Liu didn't dare to imagine it, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept it, but he felt that it was impossible.

"Oh, Daddy, where do you want to go? I don't bother to tell you. Liu Linger stomped her feet angrily, and then walked towards the backyard without looking back.

Seeing this situation, Ma Wenbing planned to leave, but it was impossible to leave under the nose of the master.

"Wen Bing, you stop, Master has something to say. Liu called out to Ma Wenbing.

"Master, I don't have anything to do with my senior sister...... We're just ......," Ma Wenbing said helplessly, but he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.

"Of course I know that you and Ling'er have nothing left, and Ling'er will never take a fancy to you if she can't do it again. Liu was straightforward, and he didn't regret anything after speaking.

“......”

"I'm asking about Kung Pao Chicken, is that really what you think?"

"It's the apprentice who thinks about it. Ma Wenbing replied helplessly.

"That's good, I ate very well, since it's a competition, Master's bowl of water is going to be leveled, and you can go with me to participate in the food competition in three days." ”

"Master, you are so good, it seems that you still love me, Master, Master......" Ma Wenbing couldn't wait to cry in Master's arms, this was the first time he felt the warmth from Master.

"Okay, okay, it's not all your dishes that I'm taking you to do well. Liu said with a sigh that he hated a man talking like a girl.

"Why is that?" asked Ma Wenbing, puzzled.

"Chef's Soul!"

"What is the soul of a chef?" asked Ma Wenbing in surprise.

"You can create a dish, that's what a chef is all about, if you always follow the recipes of your predecessors, it's like a person without a soul, remember, you have to be creative in cooking, a chef has a soul!" Liu said seriously, as if he had realized the great truth of being a chef.

"Master, I know, I will have a soul. Ma Wenbing replied, feeling that Master's words are very reasonable, but as long as he can speak the word soul, there will always be three points of awesomeness.

"Well, just remember, we can't make dishes on the recipe when we participate in food competitions, so we have to think about it a little more, try more, and then come up with dishes that can be competed in. ”

"Master, I remember, just the two of us to go?" Senior Sister said she wanted to go too. Ma Wenbing asked boldly, it would be good if there was a senior sister with him, then there must be a lot of taste along the way.

"What is she going to do? Hehe, letting her learn to cook is just cultivating her interest, do you think I treat her as an apprentice?" Liu smiled as he touched his long beard.

"Oh, the apprentice knows. Ma Wenbing didn't dare to say anything more.

"Well, it's good to know, don't think about it!Go back and rest, remember the chef's soul I told you!" Liu Yiyi finally specially instructed, this chef's soul has not yet told the other apprentices, if anyone can make a dish that is not on the recipe and is delicious, then this chef's soul will tell him.

It seems that the dumbest apprentices tend to have the highest understanding, and Liu smiled with satisfaction.

Ma Wenbing returned to his room, and was startled as soon as he lit the lamp, because the four brothers were staring at him with big eyes, and they didn't know what moths they were doing?

"Senior brothers, why don't you rest?" Ma Wenbing changed his normal behavior, and after finishing speaking, he went back to his bed and sat down, if he didn't dare before.

"Yo, you're amazing now, not only can you cook dishes that the master didn't teach, but you can also learn to soak the little junior sister?" Zhao Datou said angrily first.

"Who is soaking senior sister? The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" Ma Wenbing was very angry when he heard Zhao Datou slandering himself like this.

"Yo he, not only can you make vegetables, but you can also make words, what does it mean that a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory?

Ma Wenbing smiled, only to remember that this is a different world, so they can't understand "a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory".

"Ouch, you, you, you don't understand

Zhao Datou crooked his mouth angrily, and then Qian Feng immediately stepped forward to make a move.

At this time, Ma Wenbing was not as cowardly as usual, but replaced Bai Lai's toughness, and stared at Qian Feng tightly with a pair of big eyes.

"Big brother, he, he, he, he glared at me, he dared to stare at me...... I have such a violent temper, do you think I dare not stare at you?" So Qian Feng also glared at Ma Wenbing, but his eyes were slanted.

"Day...... I told you to beat him up, why are you staring at him? I said I am a fool?" Zhao Datou said helplessly.

"Big brother, I don't stare at him, he thinks I'm afraid of him. Qian Feng explained.

"Day ......"

Zhao Datou made a series of gnashing sounds, expressing his helplessness.

"I said, what are you going to do? Don't you, you, me, me, mine, if you want to fight, hurry up, and I'll sleep after the fight!" Ma Wenbing was already speechless by their conversation, I really don't understand how many of them called Quartet Mallet?

"Yo, dare to learn from me, me, me, if you don't give you a little color, I, I, I'll be surnamed Wang!" Zhao Datou finished speaking and was about to start with Qian Feng.

Suddenly, a black shadow shot out of the window, followed by two "snap" slaps, when Zhao Datou and Qian Feng looked back and knew that they had been slapped by someone, Ma Wenbing suddenly disappeared.
