Chapter Forty-Six: Inseparable
Looking at the two masters and apprentices kneeling opposite each other, they complained to each other about their melancholy, which made Xiao Yi scratch his head again, and this picture coupled with his own standing next to him was as if he was a high-flying bad guy.

"Jon, don't be stupid! Master has nothing to teach you, in fact, Master didn't delay you, you have been supporting the master to clean up the mess all these years, if you go to the rating now, at least you can get the evaluation of a senior chef, in an ordinary place, you are already the head chef in charge of the back kitchen, listen to the words of the master to stay......"
"No, I want to follow Master, I still have a lot to learn from Master!" the young apprentice burst into tears, and he could see that his feelings were sincere and heartfelt.
"Silly boy, what are you talking about! Where is there any ability that Master can teach you now, the owner of this shop is right, it is the Master who has caused himself, arrogant and arrogant, but when he encounters a little difficulty, he retreats and gives up on himself, you are a good boy, don't learn from Master!
The owner of this shop is an extremely clever chef, you can learn more from him, be obedient! ”
"Then I won't leave you, don't you want me, Master? My father doesn't want me anymore, don't you want me either!" Jon cried so much that Foster's tears came out of his eyes, and he pulled Jon over and hugged him tightly, recalling that he was still a low-level chef when he was on the street to save Jon who was beaten by his father, and spent all his savings to take Jon away from that scumbag, so that he had to rely on each other and share hardships and hardships, and he taught Jon the craft Although it was only a master-apprentice relationship on the surface, he had always taught and cared for Jon as his own son, and Jon had far more admiration and respect for him than the average elder。
"Master doesn't want to ...... either. I don't want to leave you! But Master can't do it! Master's current craft has been ruined, and he is not even worthy of being a chef anymore, and your future will be ruined if you follow me, a wasted person, you don't understand!"
"I don't care, as long as I can follow Master, I don't care about anything...... Master, don't be discouraged, I can feed the two of us, and when the time comes, we will go to the best doctor, and we will definitely be able to recover you!"
"No way, you stupid boy! no way...... "Foster put his arm on Jon's shoulders and couldn't stop crying.
"Not necessarily!" a familiar voice sounded.
Foster and Jon raised their heads and saw that it was Xiao Yi, who had been standing aside to 'watch the show', and subconsciously said:
"What?!"
"I mean, it's not impossible for your ruined sense of taste to recover!"
"You're a doctor?" was hoped, and Jon asked eagerly before Foster was still suspicious.
"Well, it's not!" Xiao Yi was suddenly embarrassed, because there were all kinds of types in his skill interface, that is, there was no profession of doctor, and the only 'first aid' skill in the game that had something to do with this had already been canceled in the fourteenth expansion pack, and it was said that because the setting that a bandage can treat fatal injuries would bring wrong medical and health knowledge to teenagers in reality, so it was dropped by 'river crabs'.
"You're ......!" Jon glared at Xiao Yi viciously, and it seemed to him that Xiao Yi was obviously playing tricks on them in order to continue humiliating Foster.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a doctor, but I'm an alchemist!" Xiao Yi quickly explained.
"Alchemist, can alchemists also heal!"
"Do you remember that I said that the reason why your master is like this is because of long-term excessive drinking, in fact, this is a chronic poisoning, not a disease, and the alchemist is good at making all kinds of antidotes, so he may not ask for help from the doctor!"
"Can you really restore my master's sense of taste!"
"It's not too hard in general......! Is it in my way of doing this?" Xiao Yi turned around and threw out an embarrassing question.
After a brief moment of stunned, Jon only thought about it for a while, adjusted his posture and knelt down in front of Xiao Yi, and said resolutely:
"I beg you to help my master, as long as you can recover his sense of taste, I will stay and serve you as a cow and a horse for the rest of my life, please!"
"Silly boy...... You can't ......" Foster on the side burst into tears, but at this time, Xiao Yi showed his first smile since meeting tonight.
Xiao Yi believed in his own judgment, Jon's promise was not to take the opportunity to stay and retreat, because judging from the changes just now, Jon was really reluctant to separate from Foster, and it was above all else for him to wait and be by his master's side, so it was naturally impossible to spend so much effort to calculate for a good job.
Moreover, his declaration that he is willing to serve Xiao Yi with all his life has long gone beyond the relationship of employment, even if it is not equivalent to selling himself into slavery, it is not far off, because he knows that cooking means everything to his master, and master is everything to him, so he is willing to choose separation in order to be able to revive Foster, what kind of emotion can support him to make such a painful choice!
As the saying goes, adversity sees the truth, Xiao Yi chose to make himself more troublesome because he was touched, and now it turns out that his choice did not make him regret it!
"Okay! I agreed! But I'm going to do a test before I get treated, and I'll ask you two to eat something by the way!"
Xiao Yi re-tied his apron and bandana, quickly cleaned his hands and returned to the dining table, this time without dazzling skills, but with extremely ordinary materials and extremely ordinary techniques, and finally made a very ordinary three-course dish.
After finishing work, Xiao Yi motioned for Jon to help Foster up and sit down at a table, and personally placed the three dishes in front of the two of them in order.
"Please use it!" handing the tableware to the apprehensive Foster, Xiao Yi smiled again, for some reason this smile in Foster's eyes calmed his mood a lot, even if the other party had just let him experience the darkest moment in his life.
But looking at the few dishes in front of him, although exquisite but not top-notch, Foster began to hesitate again, it was not that he doubted Xiao Yi's cooking skills, in fact, based on his own inference, Xiao Yi was now cutting raw ingredients and giving them to him, there must be some special taste, but with his current sense of taste, even if the rare delicacies made by a grandmaster-level chef would definitely not be able to taste any famous ones.
Finally picked up the fork and tasted the first dish, when the mouth chewed, Foster was stunned, because from the already numb and stinging lips and teeth, there was a long-lost feeling, it was as fresh as spring returning to the earth, as fresh as flowers, and the taste of several fresh vegetables mixed directly hit his taste buds that had been dark for a long time, as if the green shoots that had experienced the cold winter had just sprouted from the surface, docile and pregnant with vitality.
Three times five divided by two to solve the dish in front of him, without Xiao Yi hinting, he directly pulled over the next plate, the clear liquid in the soup bowl that was as flat as a lake showed an amber shimmer, and a few oil flowers lay quietly above it like a microstar in the night sky, quiet and deep, and after rushing into the mouth after the can't wait to start, it is a mellow taste that contrasts greatly with the transparent texture, it is chicken soup! There is also the unique smell of herbs and trees of mushrooms, the strong aroma is unexpectedly mild, and you can feel comfortable from your throat to your heart after taking a sip, especially the stomach pouch that often rolls and convulses due to hangovers is much calmer, and with a small basket of fluffy soda bread next to it, it is simply comfortable to hum.
Finally, the golden fruit tart, with its crispy crust, will satisfy your pursuit of mellow taste in one bite, while the sunken green apple will tempt you to continue to indulge in a new round of cravings with sweet and sour stimulation.
Until he swallowed the last bite of food into his stomach and let out a satisfied exhalation, Foster sat in his seat for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses, because the shock it brought to him was not only that his numb taste had recovered, but the most important thing was that he watched Xiao Yi finish these dishes from beginning to end, and he didn't feel that there were any difficult skills in any place, not to mention that he was able to make it by any apprentice in front of him or even other guys with no chef experience, but why was it that such a simple dish seemed to overwhelm any delicacy he had ever tasted from the hands of a master。
"There is a reluctant request below, can you please tell your Excellency the real rank!"
Foster suddenly stood up and saluted Xiao Yi.
