Volume 1 What about me crossing you? Chapter 17: The Demon Father's Restaurant's Poison Is Poisonous
In Gu Bai's expectation, time passed quickly, and at 7 o'clock, Gu Bai packed his things, stepped on his backpack and thanked Sister Li and the master, and set off.
The first time I went to Xingping Restaurant, I didn't know where it was, I had to go home and meet the old man, and I had to discuss the salary with the old man, Gu Bai got off the tram and walked on the way home.
"Gu Bai, hurry up" the old man's voice came from the door.
When Gu Bai heard this, he also quickened his pace, "Grandpa, do you want to leave now?" Gu Bai said a little breathlessly.
"Well, it's not half past seven early, so let's leave early, and I can go to Kohei Restaurant to see Seiichiro's craftsmanship," the old man said.
"So that's the case, and I paid my salary today, although Mr. Seiichiro politely refused last time, but today is also the first time I met Chuangzhen, should I bring some gifts?" Gu Bai thought that he wanted to have a good relationship with the son of the medicine king and get a touch of the protagonist's luck, although he didn't know if there was such a thing, but in the spirit of the mentality that he would rather kill by mistake than let go, Gu Bai felt that it was necessary to establish a friendship with Chuangzhen between innocent men...
"What are you going to buy?" The old man nodded and was even happier in his heart, Gu Bai, this kid is really sensible, the young man knows how to repay his kindness, knows how to get along with others, is not arrogant or impatient, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is.
"Well, how about kitchen knives?" Although he said a decent answer, Gu Bai actually wanted to give Xingping Creator a medicine gourd... The son of the King of Medicine, with a medicine gourd on his back that is the same as my Ailuo, plus all of them have red hair, and then find a way to fool Chuangzhen to tattoo a word on his head, and the heir of the King of Medicine who fights for love flutters in the wind with a headscarf~ Think about that painting style... It's really a young man, you're too beautiful... Maybe because he is the same age in this world, Gu Bai doesn't feel so restrained about Xingping Chuangzhen, and he has a great affinity for the protagonist of the Halberd Eater, so he can't help but want to joke.
"Well, this suggestion is good, it's just that it's a little late today, if you want to cook knives, I also know a friend with good skills, and then I'll take you and Chuangzhen to order it together, let's go to Xingping Restaurant today, you go and put things away, change clothes, and we'll set off quickly." The old man thought of the kitchen knife, it is true that Gu Bai also needs a good kitchen knife, and if he is free tomorrow, he can take the two children to meet an old friend who has not seen him for a long time.
Gu Bai nodded, the kitchen knife is indeed custom-made and ready to use, and he can be regarded as a kitchen knife destroyer, no, a kitchen knife collector, in the original world, many prizes for cooking competitions are kitchen knives made by famous masters, and many forging masters will not hesitate to create kitchen knives for famous chefs, and the treasure knife is given to heroes, which can be regarded as a kind of commercial blowing, well, Gu Bai has a deep understanding of this, his own room of kitchen knives, cough cough... It's strange that I've drifted a little lately, maybe after discovering that mysterious state, the uneasiness in my heart has found a home, and my heart is steady, but Gu Bai still understands it psychologically.
Gu Bai quickly packed up his things and took the tram with the old man to Xingping Restaurant.
On the train, Gu Bai began to think back to the anime plot of Xinghei's restaurant, and suddenly an evil idea came to him, Xingping and his son are not simple father and son, the two are not only concentrating on studying delicious recipes, but also more enthusiastic about studying the most unpalatable food, God knows if these two people's halberds are occasionally compared to squid-themed dishes, and the menu in the restaurant may also have terrifying dark dishes... In this regard, in the anime, Jun Shiomi and Megumi Ta have the most say, both of whom were deeply poisoned by Kohei and his son, but then had to succumb to the medicine of the medicine king and his son... These two people opened a restaurant together, not Gu Baihei, while capturing the stomachs of their neighbors with food, while introducing dark cuisine to challenge the limits of others, and from time to time engaging in intermittent restaurant closures to whet the appetite of diners. But every time after the opening of the Kohei restaurant, the men, women and children of the whole street still miss the Kohei restaurant, and this time the Kohei restaurant opened again, presumably the masses immediately heard the wind... It can be described as a demon father and son restaurant.
"Ah sneeze" Kohei father and son, who were busy in the kitchen, sneezed together.
"Dad, are you putting pepper in it" Kohei Soma rubbed his nose.
"No, I'm making a mixed mix of Kotostracis rockfish from Table 3, but pepper and squid go well with it, and if you think about adding some peanut butter, it might be hard to eat, would you like to try it?" While cooking, Seiichiro replied to Kohei Soma.
"I don't want it, peanut butter is too greasy, it's definitely not as appetizing as mustard, I think mustard and red wine roasted squid taste more unpalatable" Kohei Soma looked disgusted.
"By the way, Mr. Harada and Gu Bai will arrive later, do you want them to be judges" Seiichiro suddenly proposed, this idea is really good, using "food" to entertain guests, it has always been the hospitality of Kohei father and son.
"Then let them decide!" Kohei Sojin also ignited enthusiasm.
Gu Bai suddenly had an ominous premonition when he thought of this... The demon father and son opened Kohei Restaurant on the first day, and the old man and himself were the first guests invited... Suddenly, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and Gu Bai, who had a tenacious desire to survive, racked his brains and thought about how to survive the ghost gate of Xingping and his son, saying that he had eaten in a restaurant? Gu Bai shook his head, this method is unreliable, it is a little rude to face the enthusiasm of Xingping's father and son like this... Well... Gu Bai fell into deep thought.
"Gu Bai, did you read your notes today?" The old man asked.
"Well, I've seen some" Hearing the old man's inquiry, Gu Bai came back to his senses.
"What's the catch?" The old man thought that there was still some time for the tram, so he would communicate with this child more about cooking.
"The notes are very practical, grandpa, worthy of Yuanyue's teacher, like a textbook," Gu Bai praised.
"Don't be a sycophant, I'll test you later" said sternly, but the old man's heart blossomed, it was the essence of his teaching in Yuanyue.
"Today I tried to cook Japanese-style fresh fragrant dragon beard noodles, which is modeled after the Japanese-style fragrant soba noodles in my notes," Gu Bai hurriedly said, indicating that he had practiced seriously.
"Well, it's good that you don't follow the recipe rigidly, and you have the flexibility to change it your own way," the old man nodded.
"By the way, grandpa, what is a nirvana dish? I see.." Gu Bai just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the old man
"You saw that baked assorted salmon, didn't you?" When the old man heard this, he also came to his senses.
"Well, that dish seems to have some kind of magic, but I have also seen some other dishes, and I feel that the complexity of the recipe is not much different from that of baked assorted salmon, so I wonder what a must-kill dish is" Gu Bai continued to raise his doubts.
"It's normal for you to have this doubt, because the so-called nirvana dish is, simply put, a dish that reflects the chef's face," the old man said meaningfully
"Reflecting the chef's face?" Gu Bai muttered, this can't be literal, and no one can look like a dish... Then to think about it, does it mean that it is marked as a chef?
"Yes, other dishes may have their own advantages, but some dishes, only when you see him cooking on the spot, you will feel that the dish is different, you must remember that a chef, the deepest impression that can leave others is his dish, in other words, it is a culinary work, and the nirvana dish represents a height." After the old man said this, he stopped talking.
