Canglan City, Sakura District, Royal Hotel.

As the sun set, hundreds of people gathered in the dark at the entrance of the hotel.

Everyone's eyes are looking inside the hotel, as if they are waiting for something...

Approaching the rush hour, there were more and more pedestrians watching, and the scene was chaotic.

"What are they doing?"

"Do you need to ask? Wait for the interview. ”

"Could it be that there is another big man eating in there today? Tsk, the fame of the Royal Hotel is really getting louder and louder. ”

"There are no big names, they are waiting to interview the mysterious chef of the Royal Hotel, who is known as the 'God of the Gods'."

"The chef is willing to be interviewed?"

"Of course not. However, it is said that a new chef challenged him this morning, and the result ended in a complete victory, stealing the position of head chef in public, forcing him to leave the royal court. And the high-level officials of the imperial court obviously want to strike while the iron is hot and secretly release the news of his departure to attract the public's attention and enhance their popularity. ”

"Damn, really? This is big news! ”

"It should be true, after all, the drama of 'the old gods have fallen, and the new gods have ascended the throne' will never go out of style at any time."

"Frankly speaking, this wave of operations in the Imperial Court is a bit suffocating, if it weren't for the addition of that mysterious chef, it would not have been able to leap from a small restaurant with no name two years ago to the leading hegemon in the food scene in the Sakura District, and no one can match it."

"That said, but who cares when it comes to taste-hungry diners?"

"When you say that, I'm really looking forward to the new chef's craft."

……

Crunch..

In the depths of the remote and secluded alley, the rusty iron door was slowly pushed open by Li Can, and he stepped out in one step.

Who would have thought that the mysterious chef, known as the 'god of the gods' by the food world, would be a young man in his early twenties with clear eyebrows!

"Those shameless bastards in the imperial court actually secretly locked the back door in order to let the master leave from the main entrance, but fortunately I have a spare key."

Behind Li Can, a beautiful girl in a chef's uniform and a white high hat, with a petite figure and some baby fat cheeks, muttered angrily.

Her name is Guan Miaomiao, and she is Li Can's only apprentice, and she is seventeen this year.

"Shh Li Can made a silent gesture, "Be careful that the wall has ears." ”

"I'm not afraid, I won't do it anymore." Guan Miaomiao's mouth glanced at the corners of her mouth, quite unsharpened.

"Nonsense! This is the contradiction between me and the imperial court, and you follow the blind ginseng and what. Li Can reprimanded.

"I'm just.."

Guan Miaomiao's two front teeth bit her lower lip lightly, and then said with a face full of grievances: "I'm just angry for the master!" If it weren't for the fact that the master suffered a nerve injury in the car accident a year ago, which caused problems in his hands, no matter how superb Lei Tianming's cooking skills were, he would not be your opponent! No way! They are clearly taking advantage of people's danger! ”

Car accident..

Li Can heard the two words he didn't want to hear, and his heart suddenly tightened, and his expression was sad.

That car accident not only hurt his hands hard, but also took the lives of his parents...

"I'm sorry master, I didn't mean to.."

"I know." Li Can opened his mouth to interrupt, "Actually, even if my hand is not injured, it will be a matter of time before I leave the imperial court." ”

"Why?" Wonderful.

"It's not been a day or two since they wanted to get rid of my thorn, haven't you noticed that the dishes Lei Tianming showed today are all my own recipes? They had already studied my recipes thoroughly, so they didn't have to worry about it. ”

"It's so shameless!"

"What's more." Li Can sighed and didn't explain.

In fact, when the news of his defeat spread throughout the food world, all the food leaders in Canglan City did not dare to hire him, because whoever hired him would be tantamount to admitting that his family was inferior to the imperial court in disguise.

This is the hidden killing move of the high-level of the imperial court, which is both ruthless and accurate.

Miaomiao naturally doesn't think about the problem so thoroughly like Li Can. She looked at Li Can with sorrow, only to find that the latter always had that familiar confident smile on his face, as if no setback could knock him down.

Yes, the chef has always been the strong and powerful overlord of the food industry!

"Okay, it's not too early, you can go back."

After tidying up the somewhat wrinkled chef's hat for his beloved apprentice, Li Can simply turned around and left, without any nostalgia.

"Master, you will come back and take your crown."

The thin and lonely back tore through the last trace of defense in Guan Miaomiao's heart, and the tears of reluctance that had been endured for a long time finally flowed.

She is sad because from now on, there will never be anyone to protect herself with righteous words, no one will ever cover herself with a serious face, and no one will teach herself unreservedly.

Woo woo .

The sobbing sound behind him hit Li Can's heart like a wild beast, although it was very uncomfortable, he didn't choose to turn back, just raised his right hand casually,

And then

Clench into a fist heavily!

……

On the day of April, everything revives and the earth rejuvenates.

The cherry blossom district, which belongs to one of the twelve subdistricts of Canglan City, is in full bloom at this time.

Late at night, pink petals flutter under the street lamps.

Li Can walked aimlessly on the cold street with his bags on his back, completely unaware of where he wanted to go and where he would go.

A year ago, a car accident cost him both of his parents, and the trauma caused by the crash cost him his job.

Now, the sum of his whole body is only a few thousand yuan, which is really miserable.

It's incredible, but it's true.

After the crash, all his savings were used to pay for treatment or to track down the driver who had disappeared from the world.

Li Can still can't forget sitting in the back seat and watching the heavy truck full of goods crash over...

Airplanes!

At this moment, on the road, a concrete tanker truck roared by, and the fierce wind pressure frightened Li Can to move a few steps sideways towards the flower bed.

The soles of the feet are soft.

"Ouch!"

The screams exploded in his ears, and Li Can realized that he had accidentally stepped on someone else.

It's a chubby girl with glasses.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Li Can hurriedly apologized, which calmed the other party's anger.

"I was really bitten by a snake once, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years."

Seeing the chubby girl leave, Li Can laughed at himself, and after stabilizing his mood, he found that he had unconsciously walked to a very remote old street.

The old street is very narrow, with fly restaurants on both sides, and a one-way street in the middle, full of private cars.

An aunt hurriedly walked out of the restaurant with a handful of dirty water, and rudely dumped it on the side of the road, and when she was about to return the same way, her feet slipped and fell to the ground, and the bucket in her hand smashed into the car that was about to pull over.

The aunt scolded and got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the car owner, and the two soon fell into a quarrel about 'compensation'.

Stray dogs sniff around the dirty water, but they can't find the 'content' that can be put into their stomachs.

This is the most primitive and down-to-earth alley, full of life.

Breathing in the slightly sour smell of food, Li Can rubbed his gurgling stomach while entering the old street to find a satisfactory restaurant.

In the past, if you want to quickly judge whether the food of an unfamiliar restaurant is delicious, the most direct way is to compare the number of diners, the more people, the better the reputation.

But now, times have changed, and sometimes a place with a lot of people may not have a good reputation, maybe it's just an unproven 'Internet celebrity check-in place'.

However, this is not a problem for Li Can, with his realm, he only needs to smell the smell of the restaurant wafting out, and he can quickly get the desired result.

"The noodle soup in this noodle restaurant has a strong flavor and a blurred sense of layering, and it is obvious that it has been reused for a long time. The noodles cooked in this noodle soup will lose their original flavor and will not be strong enough. Well, the noodle shop is almost closed, and I guess the boss won't change the soup base again.."

"Dumpling restaurant.. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten dumplings for more than half a year. Woo.. What is the situation with this faint sourness, it seems that the meat filling has been left for too long and has deteriorated. Unfortunately, if the minced meat is okay, I wouldn't mind making my own secret dipping dish."

"The barbecue is not bad.. Ouch, who put an epic stuffy fart in it.. It stinks! ”

Li Can's face was as ugly as eating a dead mouse, and he pinched his nose and hurriedly left the range of the barbecue restaurant, otherwise he would be unable to help but complain that the fart had eaten too much protein-containing food!

"Huh."

At the end of the old street, Li Can suddenly saw a stir-fry restaurant called 'Kitchen Next Door'.

It's not that the stir-fry restaurant is special, but that there is a job posting on the door...

[Urgently hire a chef, including food and accommodation.] 】
