Chapter Five: The Rising Smoke of the Warm Jade in Lantian (Middle)

() Ice City, the second largest city in the Ice Moon Empire. From a distance, the city wall is tens of meters high, wide and longitudinal, although it is not imposing, but the whole big city stands there, giving people a very calm feeling. The Azure River passes through the west of the Ice and Snow City, the whole big city is built according to the river, taking its water conservancy, although the name is not as famous as the Ice Moon City, the capital of the Ice Moon Empire next to the Ice God Tower, but it is definitely one of the economic centers of the Ice Moon Empire, many large chambers of commerce have taken the Ice and Snow City as their foundation, the whole city has a population of millions, and decades of peace have made it unprecedentedly prosperous.

Nian Bing and Cha Ji entered from the north gate of Ice and Snow City, ordinary people like them were dressed and looked inconspicuous, and the dozens of soldiers from the first gate would not come to interrogate at all, and easily entered the city.

As soon as you enter the city, it is a different feeling immediately, the peach blossom forest is like a paradise, and the ice and snow city is a bustling and prosperous scene, the avenue is paved with bluestone, on both sides of the road, all kinds of shops stand up, and the shouting is endless, although Nian Bing has been here more than a year ago, but he is used to a clean life, and he is really not used to entering the city as soon as he enters the city.

"Master, what are we going to buy now?" Nian Bing asked.

Cha Ji smiled slightly and said, "We have to buy a lot of things this time, we have to buy a few more bags of rice, and we will save the old time, and then there are some good seasonings." Oh, and by the way, I'll buy you a good knife, and in a few days, you should start learning to cook in earnest. A chef's knife, like a samurai's knife, is the most important thing, and only a good knife can bring out the best in your cooking. It's best to buy a good knife with magic gems on it, so that you can use magic to cut the ingredients, I don't know about other chefs, anyway, for me, the most important kitchen utensils in the first place were knives. ”

As soon as he heard that Cha Ji was going to buy a knife for himself, Nian Bing suddenly became excited, "Great, master, I can finally stop using a chai knife." You must buy me a good one, but do you have the money?"

Cha Ji snorted and said, "Take the word go, your master and I were also a ghost chef at the beginning, and my savings can't be spent even if I use them for a few lifetimes, otherwise, why should I live in the peach blossom forest for a long time, and choose there, just because I like to be clean." ”

Nian Bing smiled and said, "In that case, the master is still a rich man." Then what kind of kitchen knife do you use, the usual one, I don't see anything peculiar!"

Cha Ji sighed and said, "My own knife has long been sealed. Since I am no longer the ghost chef of the past, how can I let the treasure knife dust with me, and if your cooking skills can meet my requirements in the future, perhaps, I will pass it on to you. ”

"Let's go, don't keep thinking about knives, even if it's a good knife, you can't play it now, go buy rice first. At that moment, Cha Ji took Nian Bing into the ice and snow city with a familiar car, and after a while, the wooden cart pushed by Nian Bing was full of things, some necessary food, seasonings and daily necessities, Cha Ji bought a bunch of them, and even bought a few sets of ordinary coarse cloth clothes for himself and Nian Bing to change, of course, he would not forget the red rope that promised Nian Bing, now, the jade plate has been worn close to his neck, and the warm jade is close to his chest, and the faint warm breath makes Nian Bing feel very comfortable.

Pushing the car that was getting heavier and heavier, Nian Bing complained: "Master, I've been hungry for a long time, why don't we eat something first and then buy it!"

Cha Ji looked at his fat apprentice and said with a smile: "You have so much fat, it's nothing to eat less." Okay, I've almost bought everything I should buy, let's go, let's find an inn to stay in first, have a meal, and I'll take you out in the evening to see if there is a suitable knife. ”

Nian Bing let out a long breath, pointed to a small inn in front of him and said, "Master, just be there, I really can't walk." ”

Cha Ji nodded, "Okay." I've lived there before, and although the environment is average, it's also fairly clean. ”

The inn is called Sentient Beings, an old and a young, pushing the car to the door of the inn, a waiter suddenly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Two, do you want to stay in the hotel? We have all the facilities here, and we also provide hot water for twelve hours a day, and the price is fair." ”

Cha Ji said impatiently: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, get the car to the yard first, and we'll live here." ”

Walking into the inn, Cha Ji took Nian Bing to the counter, "Bring us a standard room, the kind with two beds." ”

The waiter behind the counter looked ordinary, looked eighteen or nineteen years old, smiled slightly, and said, "The price of one day's accommodation is one silver coin, please pay first." ”

"Wait a minute, let's have two. Nian Bing said with some eagerness.

Cha Jiqi said: "Why do you want two?"

Nian Bing stuck out his tongue at him, "Master, usually you live next door to me, and the snoring often shocks me, if you are in the same room, I don't have to sleep." I'm going to have to push the cart back tomorrow, so have pity on me for my fat flesh that needs to rest." ”

Zha Ji's old face flushed, and he took out two silver coins from his arms and handed them to the waiter, "Then two rooms, is my snoring really that loud?" The waiter took the silver coins, forcibly held back his laughter, and arranged two adjacent rooms for the old and the young.

Cha Ji took the key to the room handed by the waiter and said to Nian Bing, "Aren't you hungry? ”

The inn restaurant is not big, only more than 100 square meters, and there are more than a dozen tables neatly placed inside, as Cha Ji said, although it is not luxurious, but it is still clean. At this time, it was not a meal, the restaurant was very clean, Cha Ji took Nian Bing to a table on the street of the restaurant and sat down, from here, you could see the bustling scene on the street outside.

"What do you want to eat?" a waiter asked lazily as he walked up to them. Civilian attire like Nian Bing and Cha Ji naturally couldn't attract her attention.

Cha Ji said: "Four steamed buns, a pot of white porridge, and some pickles." ”

A disdainful gaze flashed in the waiter's eyes, and he didn't even bother to remember, "Wait, I'll be here in a while." ”

Dumbfounded as the waiter left, Nian Bingwei shouted, "Master, aren't you, didn't you just say how rich you are? Why are you so slammed now? Just eating steamed buns, how can you have enough nutrition!"

Cha Ji said angrily: "Stupid, do you think I can eat these things outside? After eating the dishes I cooked, and then eating the dishes of this ordinary small restaurant, I guarantee that you will vomit it out immediately." ”

Nian Bing said suspiciously: "Master, I know that you are a ghost chef, so there is no need to belittle others so much." Even if it's not as delicious as what you cook, it won't be too bad, otherwise, how can someone become a chef?"

Cha Ji smiled weirdly, "If you don't believe it, that's good, we're going to have two green vegetables, you can try it." If there is no huge gap between me and ordinary chefs, how can I win the championship of five consecutive chef god competitions in the first place? At that moment, I called the waiter and added two green vegetables.

Although the waiter's attitude was not very good, the vegetables were easy to make, and the steamed buns and porridge were ready-made, and they were served after a while. Nian Bing was hungry for a long time, and immediately took a large number of chopsticks and vegetables and sent them into his mouth.

"Wow, whoa, whoa, whoa. Before he chewed it twice, he spit out all the green vegetables, "What is this! It's hard to eat, it's all raw oil, the oil is definitely not hot when it is fried, the heat is light, it is not cooked, the fragrance of the dish itself has not been brought into play at all, and there are so many salts and monosodium glutamate, it is simply unpalatable." ”

Cha Ji didn't laugh at Nian Bing, but nodded with satisfaction, "Well, yes, it seems that you didn't learn from me in vain this year." You've basically said the shortcomings of this dish. For the sake of your talent, the master will show you a hand today. Waiter. ”
