Next Chapter

In the suburbs of the northern region of the Tianhua Continent, although it is far away from the town, there is a particularly eye-catching pavilion building, towering into the clouds and magnificent, and the square in front of the pavilion is full of people, looking at their appearance is not very old, that is, eleven or twelve-year-old children, all of them are carrying different kitchen utensils, all of them look nervous, looking forward in a neat row, as if they are waiting for something. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After half an hour, a person walked out of the high platform in front of the crowd, and it was a graceful girl, with long black hair scattered on both sides of her shoulders, a dark red robe, and a few gilt characters embroidered on her chest "Drunken Immortal Building" , The temperament is extraordinary, although it is beautiful, but it makes people not have the slightest blasphemy, and the crowd below saw the girl appear, all of them were excited, the original tension not only did not relax, but became more serious, even the breathing became short, everyone looked at the girl intently, their eyes were full of awe, and they did not dare to have the slightest reckless move, for fear of causing the girl's unhappiness.

The girl didn't speak, but first paced back and forth around the platform, looking at the crowd below, her expression did not change without any change and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, and after a while, she said loudly: "You are the youngest chef selected this year, although you have passed some assessments before, it does not mean that you are already qualified to be a chef, maybe you can in other places, but if you want to enter the Drunken Immortal Building, you are not even qualified to be an apprentice now." The girl's voice was not loud but clear.

Looking at the reaction of the crowd, the girl continued: "The Drunken Immortal Building is known as one of the five floors in the Northern Regions, where there are top cooking skills, rare ingredients and special recipes, even if you can learn one and a half tricks, it is enough for you to gain a foothold on the Tianhua Continent, and even enter the royal court, the fifth floor of the Northern Regions is the dream of every chef, which is why you came here, but if you want to enter our Drunken Immortal Building, it is not as simple as you think, here not only requires your diligence and talent, but also the ability to be a chef." ”

"Today I will give you the last exam question, the most basic thing as a chef is knife skills, if the knife skills are not proficient, it will not only affect the processing of ingredients, but also change the cooking of other ingredients, resulting in the final taste, so this assessment is knife skills, but our Drunken Immortal Building's knife skills assessment can be different from your previous cognition!"

So saying, the girl turned and walked to the table on the other side of the high platform, but strangely enough, there was no meat or vegetables or other kinds of ingredients on the table, only neat bundles of wood, the thickness of an adult's arm, which had been sawn a foot long and stacked together.

"You're all optimistic. As soon as the words fell, I saw the girl wave with one hand, and a silver short knife appeared in her hand, the front end was slender, the arc was very large and winding towards the handle, and the blade was a little dazzling in refracting the sun's rays, but the people in the audience saw the girl take out the kitchen knife and all held their breath, and they didn't dare to blink, looking forward to her next move.

The girl didn't say anything, the right hand holding the knife gently picked down, and the bound wood was scattered, spread on the table, and the other hand pressed on the wood, and at the same time, the sick short knife also moved, the speed was extremely fast, and a series of afterimages also emerged, and each knife fell with a faint flash of white light, and the solid wood in her hands was like chopping vegetables, and instantly became a pile of wood chips, and each piece was as thin as paper, crystal clear!

"Oh" A burst of exclamations came from the crowd, they had never seen this kind of knife skill, they all stood on the spot, Mo said that it would take a lot of effort to cut the wood so finely, even if it was to chop with an axe, but this girl did it with just a flick of her wrist.

Before everyone came to their senses, the girl had already put away the kitchen knife and looked back at everyone, and said slowly: "This is the exam question of this Drunken Immortal Building, I know that no one among you can do it now, but it doesn't matter, I will give you two months to practice knife work, and you will still be here in two months, and the thickness of the wood you cut out can be ten times that of mine, but if you can't meet my requirements in these two months, don't want to enter the Drunken Immortal Building." With that, the girl turned and walked back, ignoring the noisy crowd below.

"Eh, Xiaoyue, even your use of this kind of knife work consumes a lot of mental energy, how can you let this group of children do it with their hand strength and wrist strength alone in two months. An old man in sackcloth in the corner of the room shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and the wine jug in his hand was also hung on his crutches, obviously a little dissatisfied.

When the girl heard this, she snorted coldly: "Who told some people to abuse their power, break the rules of our Drunken Immortal Building, and even accept some useless waste apprentices, some people are not suitable to be chefs at all, but they entered our Drunken Immortal Mansion because of their relationship, otherwise I wouldn't have come here in person." ”

"Even so, your requirements are a bit too high, why should you be angry with these children. ”

The girl pursed her lips and said, "The current Drunken Immortal Building is not under the control of you bad old man, you don't have to worry about it, I will take care of everything." ”

The old man sighed again: "Eh, you kid, you are getting bigger and smaller, you are really spoiled for talking to grandpa like this." ”

The girl smiled playfully when she saw the old man's appearance, leaned over and said softly, "Why did you come back suddenly this time, is there something wrong?"

"What can I do with this bad old man, it's not that I don't worry about you, especially you. As he spoke, he nodded the girl's forehead, and her face was full of love.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see my latest cuisine, which will surely make you feast. So saying, the girl took the old man's arm and walked towards the kitchen.

Meanwhile, in the square outside, everyone was whispering and complaining.

"I heard my uncle say that this time only a few basic dishes were assessed, how did it suddenly become such a difficult knife work!"

"Yes, my second cousin said the same, who is this woman?"

"What, she is the youngest head of the front hall of the Drunken Immortal Building? She is only eighteen years old this year, the granddaughter of three generations of chief chefs?"

"Ah, isn't it! Why did she come in person, it seems that I can't enter the Drunken Immortal Building this time, why did I just let me catch up!"

Listening to the noisy voices around him, a thin young man in the crowd clenched his fists, and his face was excited and yearning: "Amazing, really powerful, is this the strength of the Drunken Immortal Building, the top cooking skills on the fifth floor of the northern region of the Tianhua Continent!"

"Qian Shi, I think you village boy should not be delusional, although you have passed the first few assessments with us, but how can you enter the Drunken Immortal Building with your identity. A fat guy joked next to him.

And the young man known as Qian Shi didn't care, and said in a low voice: "People like you don't know how to cook as a chef at all, and you can only waste time when you come here." ”

"Hey, Qian Shi, you dare to look down on us. Saying that, the fat dun was about to go up to theorize, but was stopped by the two people around him: "What are you fighting with this stupid boy, look at his outfit sleeping on the street." As he spoke, several people snickered again.

Looking at the few people who were far away, Qian Shi just smiled faintly, he left the village alone in order to be able to become a top chef on the Tianhua Continent, for this he would not back down, twelve years of independent life also made Qian Shi develop a tenacious character, even if this assessment was extremely difficult and he could not enter the Drunken Immortal Building, he would not stop practicing the way of the chef.

With the incessant complaints and noises, the crowd in the square was divided into several parts, some people completely lost confidence, thinking that this kind of knife skill could not be achieved by themselves, and left in groups, while the other part of the people, although their faces were ugly, still insisted on staying, and found the staff of the management of the Zuixian Building to apply for a certificate to participate in the next assessment.

Seeing this, Qian Shi didn't dare to slack off, for him, of course, he must participate in the sword skill assessment after two months, although some people chose to leave, but the square was still a little crowded, after all, it was the signature civilization continent of the Drunken Immortal Building, even if the chance was slim, everyone wanted to try their luck, and by the time Qian Shi completed the application, the sky had already darkened.
