"Don't take it seriously!" Zhang Meng said a little annoyed, "'The No. 1 Chef in the World' is not his self-styled, but the honorific title of the chefs of many restaurants in Luoyang City!" ”

"Alright! I'll take it seriously! Seeing that Zhang Meng was anxious, Lu Xiaoxian retracted his smile and asked seriously, "Let's talk about it, what the hell is going on!" ”

"This person came to Luoyang alone a month ago, no one knows his name and origin, and he has nothing but a kitchen knife on his body. With this kitchen knife, he has traveled all over the kitchens of well-known restaurants in Luoyang within a month, and has not lost a single defeat in the competition with nearly 100 chefs. It is said that all the competitions at that time were one-sided, and there was no one in the huge Luoyang City who could really fight with him. At most, he swept thirteen restaurants in one day. In the competition with Qiu Fengpo, he just waved his kitchen knife, and then Chen San and Wu Liu took the initiative to admit defeat. Because of this, the Luoyang kitchen industry gave him the nickname of 'the world's first chef'! ”

"Oh!" Lu Xiaoxian showed a look of surprise, "There is such a thing?" ”

Luoyang is the imperial capital, and the cooks who can eat in the big restaurant in Luoyang City are all powerful people with outstanding skills. "The world's first chef" can dominate in it, as if entering a no-man's land, and his accomplishments in cooking can only be described by the words "unfathomable".

Others don't talk about it for the time being, the level of Chen San and Wu Liu, Lu Xiaoxian knows very well that in this kind of top-notch competition, the other party only swung a knife to make the two admit defeat, which is indeed a bit incredible.

Lu Xiaoxian's mind imagined the arrogance of the "world's first chef" sweeping Luoyang, and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Whether it is Lai Junchen or Wang Hufeng, they are not rash people. Since they are full of confidence to challenge themselves, it shows that this "world's first knife" is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"So be it!" Lu Xiaoxian's expression was solemn, and he said to Zhang Meng, "You and Yin Feng Langyue will go back to the house first, and I will go to Qiu Feng Po to find Chen San and Wu Liu to ask about the situation!" ”

Zhang Meng glanced at Yin Feng and Lang Yue, and cautiously said to Lu Xiaoxian: "If you don't let the two of them go back first, I will accompany you to the autumn wind break!" ”

"No!" Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand, "I'm just going to ask about the situation, and I'll be back soon!" ”

……

Luoyang South City is very large, there are three or four thousand merchants, all kinds of important commodities such as gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, fur, silk, etc. from all over the country to the South City, and then from here to all parts of the country and even the Western Regions and other places.

At the same time, there is a lot of people in the south city, and the source of tourists is also more complicated, in addition to the merchants who come and go from the south and the north of the world, there are also a large number of "Hu merchants" and "orchids", among which there are many Tianzhu or Persians. Walking through the boiling South Market, you can see peddlers and pawns everywhere, or caravans, full of fireworks in the world. Dancers, jugglers, abound, endlessly, singing and dancing can be seen everywhere.

It is precisely because of the very large flow of customers that there are many restaurants in Nanshi, which has become the best example of the prosperity of Nanshi. Every time the meal arrives, the wine and food are fragrant, the guests and friends are full, and there is a prosperous scene of "the sunset of thousands of merchants and the end of the ship, and the spring breeze and wine of the city".

Of course, there are also high and low restaurants in these restaurants. A restaurant with an excellent location and good cuisine can attract many repeat customers, and its business will naturally be better than other restaurants, and its reputation will be greater, so such restaurants are also known as "famous restaurants".

Autumn Wind Break is the leader of the "famous buildings" in Nanshi.

Qiu Feng Po was originally just one restaurant, but now it is two. The original shopkeeper of the restaurant was Liu Qi, and later, Lu Xiaoxian forcibly bought the drunken Xiaolou opposite from Wang Hufeng, and simply opened a new store in the original location, with Cen Shaobai as the shopkeeper of the new store, and the shopkeeper of the old store was still Liu Qi.

For a long time, the name of the first restaurant in Nanshi has been occupied by the autumn wind.

Lu Xiaoxian stood in the middle of the road, looking at the new and old shops on the left and right, feeling a little different from the past. Before he left Luoyang for Fangzhou, Qiu Fengpo was always overcrowded regardless of whether it was a new store or an old store, and it was difficult to find one.

At this moment, it is almost noon, and it stands to reason that it is time for lunch, but the flow of people in the two restaurants is significantly less.

It seems that what Wang Hufeng said is true, and the autumn wind is indeed in trouble.

Lu Xiaoxian raised his feet and was about to go to the old store on his left, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a magnificent building next to the old store, with five banners hanging on the flagpole in front of the door, and a few big words "Drunken Xiaolou" on the banner, which were fluttering in the wind.

In Lu Xiaoxian's memory, the next door to the old store was originally a silk village, how did it become a restaurant? And it's still a drunken sky?

After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on him, there is no doubt that this must be Wang Hufeng's masterpiece.

Lu Xiaoxian bought Zuixiaolou and turned Zuixiaolou into a new store for Qiu Fengpo, although Wang Hufeng could no longer sing face-to-face with Qiu Fengpo, but it was difficult for him, and in a blink of an eye, he opened Zuixiao Lou next door to Qiu Fengpo's old store, which was clearly a stubborn fight.

As for the original silk village, as long as enough silver is given, this is not a matter for Wang Hufeng at all.

When I entered the restaurant, there were not many diners. Lu Xiaoxian felt strange, even if the masters invited by Wang Hufeng were stronger than Chen San and Wu Liu, the autumn wind would not be so deserted. After all, the drunken tower is so big, it is impossible for all people to go there to eat.

Liu Qi, who was sitting at the counter, had a sad face, and suddenly saw a guest come in, he got up and was about to say hello, but he was suddenly stunned.

"What? Don't you welcome me? Lu Xiaoxian had a smile on his face.

"No, no, no!" Liu Qi said in a panic, "Childe, why are you here!" ”

"I just went back to Luoyang, come and have a look!" Lu Xiaoxian patted Liu Qi on the shoulder.

"Childe!" Liu Qi slurred, "There is one thing......

"Needless to say, I know!" Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said, "Take me to the back hall!" ”

The back hall of the autumn wind is not as busy as before, and several chefs are chatting listlessly.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at the desk silently, large and small, all kinds of knives were arranged in an orderly manner, with sharp blades and rounded handles. Each knife is exquisitely designed, and each has its own purpose, from shaving and deboning to peeling and cutting meat.

There is nothing special about a chef's kitchen knife in itself, and the ordinary kitchen knife is famous because of those who use it.

People who use knives are often referred to as "knife men" by insiders.

Unlike the swordsmen of the Jianghu martial arts, the knives in the hands of these swordsmen are not used to slash and kill, they use knives to make delicious dishes, which make people's lips and teeth fragrant and linger.

There are schools in the kitchen world, and there are also masters and apprentices. Among the swordsmen, there are famous "heroes" and unknown "pawns". The pawn dreams of becoming a hero one day, and the hero pursues one day to be the best in the world. Of course, there are grievances in this.

In Luoyang City, the stage for the swordsmen to display their skills is the large and small restaurants in the city. Each restaurant is like a school, where the most skilled knife player becomes the "head chef" of the restaurant.

Among the swordsmen, the identity of the "head chef" is always enviable, just like the head of the martial arts world, no matter how big or small the face is, he can be regarded as a prince.

The head chef of the new store is Zhao Fengtang, known as the first chef in Luoyang, and has a world-famous nickname "Three Uniques of God Chef".

Zhao Fengtang was originally the head chef of Zuixiao Tower, although he admitted defeat in the competition with Xuanxu Daoist, his cooking skills should not be underestimated. Lu Xiaoxian bought Zuixiao Lou, Zhao Fengtang insisted on leaving, and later I don't know what method Lu Xiaoxian used to keep him and let him serve as the head chef of the new store in Qiufeng.

Zhao Fengtang has brought many apprentices, most of whom are in charge of major restaurants in Luoyang and Chang'an, which can be said to be full of peach and plum, the most outstanding of which is Chen San.

Since Chen San returned to Luoyang from Yingzhou, he took over the back kitchen of the old store in Qiufengpo, and complemented Wu Liu's cooperation, firmly occupying the position of the first building in Luoyang, and Chen San has always been recognized as the number one swordsman in Luoyang City.

Many people believe that Chen San's cooking skills are better than blue, and he has surpassed Zhao Fengtang at the peak of the year. Even Zhao Fengtang himself admitted that with Chen San's current level, he did deserve the title of Luoyang's number one swordsman.

But Chen San, who is known as Luoyang's number one swordsman, was actually won by a mysterious person, and Lu Xiaoxian really wanted to know what was going on.

Lu Xiaoxian turned his head and asked strangely, "Where is Chen San?" ”

Liu Qi's face showed embarrassment: "Master Chen has been a little uncomfortable these days!" ”

"Take me to him!" Lu Xiaoxian cut the railway.

The autumn wind broke through a room in the backyard, the door was closed, and a hint of alcohol wafted from the window.

There was a square table in the middle of the floor in the room, and three people sat in front of it.

Chen San was sitting in front of the door, his collar was open, his hat was crooked, and his original meticulous appearance had become sloppy at the moment, his head drooping, and he looked drunk.

Chen San's left is Zhao Fengtang, and the right is his old partner Wu Liu.

Looking at Chen San's appearance, Zhao Fengtang couldn't help but sigh, he could understand Chen San's mood very well at the moment.

With the halo of Luoyang's No. 1 swordsman on his head, it is inevitable to bear the expectations of others, but this aura can not only bring a bright future, but sometimes it will make people fall into the quagmire and cannot extricate themselves. From raising eyebrows to being frustrated, it is like falling from the sky to falling to the ground, if you can't bear this consequence, then you can only choose to cowardly escape.

The door was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in, holding a jar of wine in his arms.

Seeing the people Zhao Fengtang and Wu Liu, they couldn't help but stand up, Zhao Fengtang was about to speak, but he saw that the person who came waved his hand slightly, signaling him to silence.

"Chen San!" Although Lu Xiaoxian's voice was soft, it had an indescribable majesty.

Chen San raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were a little straight. Suddenly, he smiled: "Gong...... Belch...... Son. ”

Lu Xiaoxian didn't answer, sat down in the empty seat opposite Chen San, patted the wine jar to seal the mud, and filled the empty wine glass in front of Chen San.
