Chapter 4: Blooming Life
A pale blue flame of natural gas pierced the silent air, and then a casserole simmered with the pale blue flame......
"Wow!"
Fresh fish strips are poured into the water in the casserole along with shredded green onions and minced ginger, and then rice wine, refined salt, and other materials are thrown into the casserole in turn. After cooking on high heat for about eight minutes, Yin Xin skillfully picked up the pot, poured the marinade into a jar for later use, and removed the fish for later use, which was exactly the necessary step described in the recipe......
Everything that followed was like a matter of course, the kitten didn't even need to make more sounds to prompt Yin Xin, from putting in the ginseng refining soup, blanching bamboo shoots, to stir-frying green onions, and thickening all in one go, an hour later, Yin Xin lifted the lid of the crockpot with great anticipation, and the steaming steam instantly spread throughout the kitchen with a rich and attractive aroma......
After lifting the lid of the pot, Yin Xin methodically sprinkled in a handful of green onions and brought the crockpot to the table. After everything was done, Yin Xin, who had been tired for a long time, finally sat down at the table, looking at the fish soup that was still boiling in this classical-style crockpot with a sense of accomplishment.
I saw that in this bowl of fish soup, the fish bones and superfluous things have long been gone, only the fine and tender white fish meat that has been carefully cooked is swaying in the bowl like a piece of fresh and agile tender tofu......
Yin Xin hurriedly picked up the spoon and scooped it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly opened. The smooth fish soup melts in the mouth, turning into a warm current and blending into the stomach, and the taste of this fish soup is sweet, delicious, refreshing and warm, which is definitely not comparable to any other fish soup. The faint medicinal fragrance in the fish soup is endlessly evocative, and the case is amazing.
At that moment, Yin Xin couldn't control his movements, and before he could react, he had already gobbled up a spoonful of fish soup with a spoon and sent it to his mouth. In the end, Yin Xin didn't care about eating, so he simply picked up the fish soup and poured it into his stomach, and the little white cat picked up a piece of paper:
"Eat slowly, be careful of the burn."
In less than five minutes, Yin Xin had completely eaten and wiped the bowl of fish soup, and let out a long sigh of relief. After eating this bowl of fish soup, Yin Xin's whole body was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and he felt that his internal organs seemed to become clear and clear in an instant......
"This ...... What is the mystery of this bowl of fish soup? ”
Yin Xin looked at the bowl of fish soup in his hand and muttered. Although he acted completely according to the recipe, the shocking effect was beyond his dreams......
The little white cat picked up a piece of paper, which was already full of dense handwriting:
"This bowl of fish soup is a medicinal dish I created myself, called ginseng flower white fish soup. It requires fresh white fish, jacaranda ginseng, winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, etc. as the main ingredients, purple sprouts and ginger, fresh green onions, and yellow twist as auxiliary materials, plus 12 flavored herbs such as astragalus, angelica, and schisandra chinensis to cook together until the medicinal power is completely dispersed into the fish soup, and the fire is boiled. It contains the essence of ginseng, plus the nutrition of fish, which can replenish qi and nourish nutrients, especially for your coughing up blood. How, do you feel warm and relaxed now? ”
"That's right, that's right! Like you said! ”
Yin Xin excitedly grabbed the kitten and shook it violently, but in the next moment, Yin Xin's expression slowly converged:
"But what exactly are you for. I have nothing to do with you, why are you saving me? ”
The harsh treatment he has received since he was a child has long made Yin Xin understand that there is no free lunch in the world. The reason why this weird kitten is entangled with himself shows that he must have something to ask for himself......
After a long silence, the kitten began to write on an A2-sized piece of white paper with its paws dipped in ink. After about five minutes, the kitten picked up the piece of paper:
"First of all, please believe me, I'm not a bad person."
"I was originally human, but I was made to this by something horrific that had happened to me. I've long since forgotten what my name was and what horrific treatment I was subjected to, but thankfully, I remember how to save myself, and for that, I needed the help of one of the world's best chefs. ”
At this point, the handwriting came to an abrupt end, followed by the next piece of paper, with only three words:
"Help me."
After Yin Xin was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke:
"Maybe you're looking for the wrong person, although I have been practicing cooking with my family since I was a child, but to say that the world's top chef can only be an unattainable dream for me......"
"Yes, you can't be said to be a qualified chef right now, but...... Do you want to become the best chef in the world? Maybe, I can help you do it! ”
Yin Xin's heart twitched violently. Become the world's top chef? That's the dream of all chefs. And Yin Xin also believes very much that the kitten with the anti-heaven recipe of "ginseng flower white fish soup" wants to make himself the world's top chef, and it is by no means an empty word......
"Good. Then I would like to ask one last question. - Why did you choose me? Yin Xin finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
"For fifteen years, I have been by Huang Lang's side. Penglai Pavilion is a place where chefs from all over China gather, and Huang Lang is the teacher in charge of selecting students. With him, I can find a wide range of young people who are talented in cooking and train them, and then I chose you. Your unflinching attitude in the face of critical situations, your extraordinary knife skills, and respect for the taste of diners are just three things that a good chef needs. ”
"Fifteen years? You've only found me a genius? Yin Xin shrugged.
"No, in the past fifteen years, I have found eight outstanding young people, many of whom are even better than you." The kitten wrote one by one.
"That's right. Where are those eight now? You must have become one of the world's top chefs, right? Yin Xin's face softened slightly.
The kitten was silent for a long time before slowly writing four shocking characters on the paper:
"They're dead."
"What......"
Yin Xin's pupils shrank suddenly.
"I don't want to deceive you, I must say that with my company, many unwarranted disasters may befall you, and you may follow in their footsteps, and you will be annihilated in the ashes of history before you have time to enjoy the glory of success. So, I'll let you make that decision. Is it a gamble, staking your life and everything on the way to the top, or choosing the ordinary, and finally passing away peacefully like countless ordinary people. Make your decision. ”
After writing this paragraph, the kitten let out a long sigh of relief and quietly squatted at Yin Xin's feet, waiting for Yin Xin's decision.
Yin Xin's forehead was dripping with sweat, his shoulders were trembling, and at this moment, he was making a difficult decision in his heart. After a long time, Yin Xin slowly raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the window. In the quiet night sky, the stars twinkled, and in the vast sea of stars, a not-so-dazzling meteor pierced the sky and disappeared into the horizon......
"It's been seventeen years since I, Yin Xin, came to this world, and it's almost time to leave the world as predicted by the doctor. Maybe as Yin Liang said, dying in obscurity in a corner is the ending I should have. Yin Xin quietly looked at the night sky and muttered to himself.
As he spoke, Yin Xin grabbed the kitchen knife on the board and slowly clenched it:
"But unfortunately, rather than being a planet that dies quietly, I would rather be a meteor that is short-lived, but enough to tarnish the stars. I want everyone to recognize my efforts, I want every corner of the world to hang a sign with my name on it, I want to become the world's number one chef, and I want to burn everything with my short life. Even if this is really a road to hell, Chef Ben will cut it all the way, chop it down, chop it down, and never turn back! ”
After speaking, Yin Xin picked up the kitchen knife and slashed it into the board fiercely, and the blade of the kitchen knife was deeply embedded in the board, standing firmly on the board like a rock......
"Meow."
The kitten meowed softly, and there was clearly a trace of emotion and admiration in her eyes. A man and a cat looked at the night sky together, and tonight's night sky, with the stars twinkling, looked like it was within reach......
