Chapter 18: Painstaking efforts

"Master (Golden Hall Master), (Dad), why are you here?"

Everyone looked at the door, and three distinct titles came out of the mouths of the three people at the same time.

Then the fat man and Lily looked at each other, and once again surprised in unison: "You are his apprentice (daughter)?"

The old golden head glared at the fat man fiercely and said angrily. "Hmph, if I don't come again, I'm afraid this store will let you eat yellow!"

"Dad, you don't know how edible this food is, it's just a humanoid rice bucket! God knows how his belly can hold so many things, no wonder it's so fat!"

Instead of continuing to teach the fat man, the old golden head turned around and reprimanded his daughter: "How many times have I told you, what is taught to you is dead, people are alive, and this cooking is not immutable, but a process of pursuing perfection." Like you, you will only copy it as it is, when will you really be able to take charge of it alone!"

"I ......"

The sudden reprimand made Lily feel aggrieved, but she was powerless to refute it, so she could only bite her lip and force herself not to cry, but the tears still rolled in her eyes.

"Master, don't say that! Sister Lily's menu may still be lacking in terms of the 'full moon' dish, but other dishes such as steamed eggs with dried shrimp, drunken papaya, and braised sea cucumber with green onions are absolutely superb and impeccable. ”

"It's obviously the only one, the concubine is drunk and ......" Lily was just about to habitually correct the name of the dish that the fat man said, but halfway through the words, she suddenly realized that the fat man was speaking for herself just now, so she had to swallow the second half of the sentence and whispered "thank you" in a little embarrassed.

"I'm telling the truth, thank you for it, sister, if you really want to thank me, invite me a few more times. ”

"How many more meals? Do you really want to eat yellow here? If you want to eat it, you can make it yourself! It just so happens that everything is ready-made here, and I want to try your craft, old man. ”

"Master, aren't you embarrassed for me? I just officially apprenticed to the teacher today, and you still haven't taught anything!"

"Don't talk nonsense! if you want to do it, you will do it!" After saying that, the old golden head pulled over a chair, sat down there with a golden knife, and turned to Lily again, "Inform everyone that you will have a three-month holiday from today!"

"Three months......?"

"Huh?" Seeing that his daughter hesitated about his words, the old golden head immediately glared at her, and Lily didn't dare to say anything more when she saw this, so she could only do as her father told her.

By the time Lily had arranged everything, the fat man had already brought his masterpiece to the old golden man. However, when he lifted the metal lid that was fastened to his plate, everyone present froze.

"This ...... What is this?" asked the old golden head, pointing to the plate with his right hand, and his voice trembled.

"Egg fried rice!"

"Egg fried rice?" After speaking, the old golden head began to touch around, and finally found a menu to take advantage of, so he couldn't help but greet the fat man's head directly, and muttered "Egg fried rice! Egg fried rice......!" Egg...... Egg...... Egg fried rice! You say it yourself, can this black lump be called egg fried rice?"

"Hey, I said you old man is unreasonable! I said that I can't cook and can't cook, and I was asked to do it, just do it, and in the end it's still a beating, it's really ......" The fat man complained aggrievedly while hiding. Although he didn't know why the old golden head insisted on letting him cook, he now knew who Lily's inexplicable habit of beating people learned from.

"Dead fatty, you're pretty good at hiding, aren't you?" I'll let you hide, I'll let you hide......"

Now the room is lively, two people are old and young, one thin and one fat, one short and one tall, you chase me, and the appearance of not giving in to each other makes Lily seem to see her former self, and she even smiled and bent her waist while holding Lin Xian'er, who was worried.

"Whew...... Call...... , good little rabbit, can you still run? Honestly, since you don't know how to cook, how do you know so much?"

"Who says you have to be able to eat it? That's what I learned from books. ”

"What book? Let me see. ”

The old golden man obviously didn't believe the fat man's words. But I saw that the fat man turned over his right hand, took out a very familiar thread-bound book from the Sumeru ring and put it in front of him.

"The book...... Why are you here?"

The fat man didn't speak, just shook the Sumeru ring in his hand in front of his eyes. Only then did the old golden man suddenly realize that he had forgotten to take it out when he gave the fat man the ring. But after thinking about it, I didn't think it was right, "You mean, all your understanding of cooking is from this book?"

"Yes!"

Before the words fell, the old golden head hit the fat man's head again, "! This book will only take a day to fill your hand, even if you read it all night long, how much can you read?"

"One night? How could that be...... A few minutes will be fine!"

The fat man said so casually, but the old golden man's expression froze in the look that he didn't expect when he heard the first half of the sentence, and the scene suddenly became extremely embarrassing.

"I said you have to have a limit to your fat bragging! It's a few minutes, you can't just flip through it, right?"

However, the fat man did not argue with Lily, but shook his head and said slowly: "The way of cooking is to adjust yin and yang, turn the five elements, run through the east and west, meet the north and south, and borrow the power of nature to present a hundred flavors of life." The best of cooking, breaking life and death, making a fortune!"

After speaking, he didn't forget to take three bites of the black egg fried rice on the plate into his stomach, "Phew! It's really unpalatable!"

This amused Lily, "You still eat it when you know it's unpalatable?"

My mother told me since I was a child that you should cherish food and never waste it!"

I don't want the fat man's unintentional words to hit the old man's temper, "That's good! A good one must not be wasted! Just because of your attitude towards food, you are qualified to be the old man's apprentice! If you don't have basic skills, you can just practice! Not to mention, ......" The old golden head picked up the book from the table as he said that, and his dark luck instantly turned it into ashes.

"Dad, what are you ...... This is your life's work!" Lily on the side immediately said urgently when she saw this.

"You're right, but from now on, this dead fat man is my old man's brainchild!"

As soon as these words came out, Lily and Lin Xian'er suddenly grew up in surprise, they never thought that the old golden head would have such a high evaluation of this fat man. However, the fat man looked very embarrassed.

"Why, you don't want to?" the old golden man's face immediately sank when he saw this.

"I am naturally willing to follow you to learn cooking, but is it ...... to become your old man's hard work It's still early, I understand your kindness, Ling Yan is also a good girl, but I am still a student after all, I should focus on my studies, and the twisted melon will not be sweet......"

Before the fat man's words were finished, he felt a gust of evil wind behind him, and instinctively flashed to the side to dodge, and then looked at a chair, and then looked at Lily behind her, and then lifted a table that was one size bigger than her, "Who is rare to twist with you, you fat toad!" After speaking, he gritted his teeth and smashed at the fat man......

"I said Sister Xian'er, can you stop laughing, your brother has been tortured so badly by that crazy girl, if you don't help me, forget it, how can you still laugh?" finally escaped from the clutches of the rampaging Lily, and the fat man pretended to be angry and complained.

"Yes, I don't think you're doing much alive now, but you seem to be having a lot of fun!"

"I'm talking about psychological trauma, okay? Besides, I'm not shaking M, I'm a happy ghost! What I need most now is Sister Xian'er's comfort. As he spoke, he shamelessly leaned over to Lin Xian'er, who knew that Lin Xian'er did not make a dodging action like an ordinary girl, but let the fat man hug a strong knot.

This made the fat man blush, "Immortal...... Sister Xian'er, why don't you stay away?"

"Didn't you say you need your sister's comfort?

"Sister Xian'er......"

"Beep beep ......" Just as the fat man was about to say something more, a series of short and rapid prompts came out of Lin Xian'er's bracelet.

"How long do you have to hold it! Don't let go, my sister will take you to a fun place!"
