Mr. Zhang's shop is located in a quiet alley, and at this time it is dark, and this remote place can only be illuminated by the faint light of the street lamps on the main road next to it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Grandpa Zhang, you're back, we're all starving to death!" As soon as I entered the alley, something black squirmed. Those who come in can't see what is inside, but those inside can easily see through the faint light of the street lamps on the main road.

After listening to the voice, Rob realized that these black things were the shadows of people.

"It's some homeless kids in the neighborhood who come to eat with me in the evening." Zhang Lao explained as he opened the door.

The door was turned on and the true faces of the children appeared in front of Rob. There are a total of five children, two boys and three girls, who are holding their stomachs and looking at Zhang Lao.

Rob looked at these dirty children and asked suspiciously, "These are the orphans you adopted?" ”

"Hehe, that's not true. I didn't have anything to do after I retired, so I started this little shop. I make a few dollars from my business during the day, and I use that money to get food for the children in the neighborhood who have no one to take care of. Most of these children are homeless, and some parents are working outside the home, and the family does not take good care of them, and they are quite pitiful anyway. ”

"You are learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds! And it's a great thing. Rob couldn't help but feel a sense of awe when he listened to Zhang Lao's explanation.

Zhang Lao waved his hand disappreciably and said, "It's not a good thing." It's just a little bit of my mind, since the chef's cooking can give people a sense of happiness, it should be a noble profession. But nowadays, in order to make money, some people either use shoddy ingredients or directly use ingredients that are harmful to their health, which simply ruins the reputation of chefs. I do this just to let people know that being a chef is a profession that brings joy and happiness and deserves respect. ”

Rob used to want to be a good chef, and he also went to make money, and he never had such a noble idea. From Mr. Zhang, he suddenly felt that in addition to making money, it was also very meaningful to be a chef.

Seeing the hungry appearance of these children, Rob couldn't bear to delay time, and wanted to say goodbye: "You should cook for the children first, and I will send you the chicken tomorrow." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, but you have to prepare well for the next finals, and I'll let you know tomorrow." Zhang Lao didn't keep Rob, and began to cook after a word of instruction, and the children also rushed up to help Zhang Lao.

Rob watched the heartwarming scene of the old man and the child working happily, and couldn't help but think of the scene when his mother cooked food for herself. "I miss home! Be sure to go home after this competition! Rob's heart was sour, and he didn't dare to look any further, so he turned around and left here.

The next morning, Rob, who had slept beautifully, had eaten to his heart's content and came to Mr. Zhang's shop with a chicken.

Mr. Zhang is a sincere person, so he came to the store early and waited. Seeing Rob coming over, he hurriedly greeted him. It's just that his eyes were immediately attracted by the chicken in Rob's hand, and he couldn't pull it out.

Zhang Lao has been a chicken for decades, and it can be said that he has read countless chickens, but he has never seen such a chicken, so he hurriedly dodged and groped carefully.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! He touched it and shouted with joy, and I didn't know that I thought he was an old cat.

Rob couldn't enjoy the ecstatic voice, and coughed hurriedly: "Ahem, you better cook first, I'll get the registration of the restaurant association later." ”

Zhang Lao woke up like a dream, and replied embarrassedly: "I finally got this superb ingredient, and it feels like a dream, so I am a little out of shape." Let's go in, I'll make you a dish of my best chicken for you to taste. ”

"Isn't it in the TV series? It's just wrapped in mud and roasted, which is not only unhygienic but also not difficult. Rob asked, surprised.

"That's because you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how can you know the trick inside, and you'll understand it as soon as I tell you the trick, this dish is not ordinary." Zhang Lao smiled mysteriously, took Rob into the kitchen, and slowly made it.

"The most important thing about this is the use of fire, after all, it is wrapped in clay and roasted, so it is very difficult to grasp. I've been researching for many years, and I've found that in order to make a perfect chicken called flower, you need to check the ingredients, the ratio of mud to water, the thickness of the mud layer, the temperature and method of grilling. I have made it countless times, and I have accumulated a lot of data and experience. I dare say that I can make any chicken perfectly. ”

"You choose this dish for so many dishes, it's really unusual!"

"I've been in chef's competitions before, so I chose this dish with the intention of winning by surprise. Unfortunately, I participated in many competitions and was not recognized by everyone. The reason is that the grade of the ingredients I have is not good, so even if I make it perfectly, everyone thinks that it is a problem of my level, not the material. ”

Why is this so? They are all professional chefs, can't they even tell the level of cooking skills? ”

"Didn't I say that the lower the grade of the ingredients, the lower the requirements for cooking. It's like hitting a target, it's a few rings, it's clear. If you hit a big balloon, you can break it just by touching the edge. You hit the center and the side results are the same, so use it to determine the significance of your shooting technique and don't hit. ”

"I've seen it a long time ago, and other people's opinions are of no use to me. I want the best ingredients, just like shooting to find a target, just to see if I can really hit the ten rings. ”

Two hours later, Rob walked out of Mr. Zhang's shop. He used his academic skills to successfully learn the dish called flower chicken, and accidentally learned a fire-resisting thaumaturgy magic from Zhang Lao.

Fire thaumaturgy: Level 2 magic, consumes 5 mana. Elementary: Reduces fire damage taken by the caster by 30%. Intermediate: Reduces fire magic damage by 50%. Advanced: Fire magic damage reduced by 50% for all allied units.

But he didn't care about any of this, his mind was already occupied by this strange flower chicken.

"Zhang Lao's level is really the perfect ten rings, if he can't be recognized because of the problem of ingredients, it is really unfair to him. Originally, I hadn't figured out what to cook for the finals, but now I've decided, let's use this dish called Hua Chicken to justify Mr. Zhang's name! ”
