HN, Shangqiu, Yucheng, Weigudui Village.

In the playground of this dilapidated elementary school in the village, a large number of people are gathering at this time, and the crowd is standing together in twos and threes to talk and laugh.

On the side of the road outside the school, there are also two tour buses parked.

On the outskirts of the crowd stood a man in his mid-twenties, with clear eyebrows, who seemed to be a little out of place.

Perhaps out of the interest of small talk, the young man frowned and began to turn around and walk out.

"Ivan, where are you going, the sacrifice is about to begin, don't run around!"

Not far behind him, a pot-bellied middle-aged man yelled at him.

"Got it, I'll go around the neighborhood and I'll be back shortly. ”

Ivan was still walking out unhurriedly, and then quickly disappeared from the middle-aged man's field of vision.

It's so naïve!

In this era when even brothers and sisters can't be relied on, some people who can't get together in the first eight lifetimes can be connected by blood when they blow water, chat, and set up clothes together?

!

That's why Ivan doesn't fit in.

This group of people is not the villagers of Weigudui, but people surnamed Yi from all over the country, because it is the Qingming Festival, everyone gathered here to prepare to worship the ancestors.

The ancestor is called Yi Yin.

Those who know a little bit about history probably know that Yi Yin is an amazing historical figure.

Yi Yin, a native of the late summer Shang dynasty.

The first prime minister of the Shang Dynasty.

He has assisted four generations of Shang kings and Chinese celebrities.

......

However, for later generations, what made Yi Yin more widely known may be his name as a kitchen god and kitchen ancestor.

Yi Yin is not only a famous politician in history, but also a famous chef and doctor.

Because he is good at cooking, he uniquely started from the theory of cooking and created the theory of "using Ding to mix the soup" and "harmonizing the five flavors" to govern the world, and it was a great success.

If you govern a big country, you can cook a small fresh!

Yi Yin's theory was later refined by Lao Tzu and recorded in the Tao Te Ching.

In addition, his achievements in cooking have also been recorded in historical books such as "Mencius", "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", "Historical Records", and many oracle bone inscriptions.

Because of this, Yi Yin is known as the god of kitchen and respected as the ancestor of kitchen.

After Yi Yin passed away, he was buried in Weigudui Village, because of his great achievements, the predecessors also established the Yi Yin Temple in front of the cemetery.

That is, the famous ancestral temple of the chef.

China has always been famous for its food all over the world, with a long history of food culture, since ancient times, there are four major kitchen gods, namely Peng Zu, Zhan Wang, Yi Ya, Yi Yin.

But among the four chef gods, only Yi Yin is revered as the ancestor of the kitchen.

For the people surnamed Yi who came to worship today, Yi Yin also has another identity, that is, the ancestor recognized by everyone.

Regarding this, there are not only historical records, but also genealogies of the Yi people who have been handed down for 140 generations.

Now, Ivan wants to go alone to worship his ancestors.

To be honest, if it weren't for the ancestor who was the ancestor of the cook, Ivan would not have come here today at all.

And he came all the way here.

The reason is that Ivan's identity is a chef.

There is also a mysterious legend about the ancestral temple of the chef.

It is said that any chef who has come here to pay homage is likely to have his cooking skills soar as a result of this preaching, and even become a world-famous culinary master.

Many of the most famous chefs in history have admitted this point personally.

Therefore, throughout the ages, anyone who has been a chef has come here to worship if he has the opportunity to make a little achievement.

This is true even in modern times.

On September 9, 2009, the largest worship ceremony in history was also held here: the first Chinese celebrity chef ancestor worship ceremony.

More than 300 celebrity chefs from all over the country, organized by the Chinese Chefs Association, gathered here to pay homage to Yiyin, and everyone hoped that they could become world-famous chefs.

It was an age in which masters were lacking.

In other words, there is no shortage of "masters" in this era, but there is a lack of real masters.

Including Master Chefs.

Too many people have lost their ingenuity on the way to becoming masters.

For the young Ivan, he is not a celebrity chef and has just started his culinary journey, but because of his passion for cooking, he hopes that he will one day become a true master chef.

Therefore, taking advantage of this family worship ceremony, he came.

A few minutes later, he arrived at Yi Yin's tomb.

Looking at the huge tombstone in front of the tomb that was old and compiled "Yuansheng Tombstone", Ivan, who came for the first time, couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

This is my ancestor.

This is the ancestor who is respected as the ancestor of chefs all over the world.

It's a pity that since the ancestors, there have never been famous historical figures worth mentioning in the surname Yi, and there has never been a master chef with outstanding skills.

It's a pity!

Ivan couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow respectfully three times.

This is not only for the ancestors, but also for the ancestors of the kitchen god!

After knocking, Ivan stood up and walked into the Yiyin Temple not far from the tomb.

That's where the chefs worship.

Ivan knelt down in front of the huge statue of Yi Yin and kowtowed respectfully three times.

He began to chant the words, "Ancestor, manifest your spirit, your 140th generation long-house chief Sun Ivan is here, please ask the ancestor to bless me and make my cooking skills to the next level!"

The reason why Ivan was called to the family ancestor worship ceremony is because he has a special identity: the 140th generation of the Yi family's eldest grandson.

This identity is a little bit of a cow among the Yi people.

According to the rules of the Chinese people, the lineage of the eldest son of the family is called the long house, and the line of the eldest son of the long house becomes the long house of the next generation......

Generations.

The eldest son of the 140th generation of Changfang recorded on the genealogy, ranking first in the 140th generation of the Yi clan, Ivan's identity is really a bit bullish.

At the thought of this, Ivan was a little distracted.

After a few seconds of sluggishness, he slammed his head three more times.

Kowtow to the ancestors, naturally you have to be pious.

After knocking, he was ready to stand up.

It's time to join the people.

If you go back late, you may be scolded by President Yi Haihua again.

Yi Haihua is the middle-aged man with a big belly who scolded Ivan before.

But at this moment, a majestic voice suddenly appeared in Ivan's mind: "As you wish!"

Then, as if a current of electricity was flowing through his body, he was numb and paralyzed, unable to stand up.

The majestic voice reappeared.

"Ivan, the 140th generation of Yi's family, read your centripetal cooking, and now the kitchen god system is added, I hope you will concentrate on cooking and become a master chef as soon as possible. ”

Ivan: "......"

Could this be the legendary fortune?
