Chapter 5: Actually, I'm a cook
"Hey! Brother Zhou, you can't ignore me! Looking at the back of Zhou Wu leaving, Ye Xiuyuan had to stand dryly in the lobby.
After leaving the restaurant and finding a place where no one was around, Zhou Wu entered the iron box and found some hometown dishes on the mountain.
In fact, the vegetables in his hometown are basically available in the iron box, but Zhou Wu has not been exposed to the food culture of this world before, and now that he has been contacted, Zhou Wu has absolute confidence in his cooking skills.
"The tomatoes are there, the others are there, and all that's left is the eggs." As he spoke, Zhou Wu looked at the big rooster in the iron box.
"It's a pity, this guy is male, but there should be more than one chicken in this iron box, right?" Thinking of this, Zhou Wu ran up, looked around in the iron box, and finally saw seven or eight chickens in a forest, and there were exactly a few eggs under the tree.
"The time for a stick of incense is almost up, what other words do you have?" Yang Zilan asked coldly.
Ye Xiuyuan looked at the door pitifully: "Damn, this guy can't really slip away, right?" ”
"Well, I, actually, don't know him, do you believe it?" Ye Xiuyuan said to Yang Zilan in a hesitant manner.
Yang Zilan only looked at Ye Xiuyuan and scared Ye Xiuyuan to death.
"I'm back!" At this time, Zhou Wu held the dishes and hurriedly ran in.
"Lao Ye, I'm not late." Zhou Wu said.
"It's just the right time for a stick of incense, show off your cooking skills." Yang Zilan said lightly.
Zhou Wu scratched his head and said, "That, can I borrow it from the kitchen?" ”
Yang Zilan nodded and walked towards the kitchen with Zhou Wu, and the onlookers also followed.
In the kitchen, I saw a bulging fat man standing beside Yang Zilan and said, "Boss, where did you find such a stunned young man?" His dishes, let alone seeing them, I haven't even heard of them. ”
Yang Zilan didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Wu quietly, her brows tightened: "This kid is young, but my cultivation on the foundation layer has never been able to see through him, is his cultivation above me?" No way! This kid is dressed plainly, and he calls that old guy a brother, it's true that he is a casual cultivator, but why can't I see through it? ”
It didn't take long for Zhou Wu to come out with three dishes.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cabbage with vinegar, braised eggplant.
"Can this also be called a dish? I lose my appetite when I look at it. The fat man beside Yang Zilan said disgustedly.
"This fat man is a famous chef in Caiyun City, this kid really doesn't know whether to live or die."
"These three dishes are just the most ordinary dishes in our hometown, the first course, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the second dish of vinegared cabbage, and the third dish of braised eggplant, Miss Yang, please taste it." Zhou Wu said with a smile.
"Miss, don't eat it, this guy may not be poisoned in the dish." Ma Fat Man said.
When Zhou Wu heard this, he glanced at the fat man, then put the three dishes on the table on the side, took out a pair of chopsticks casually, looked at Ye Xiuyuan, and said sincerely: "Old Ye, you have been asking about my identity, now, I can tell you, in my hometown, I am a chef, and today you are also considered to have a mouthful, come on, taste my craft." ”
Although Ye Xiuyuan didn't know anything about Zhou Wu, he had also gotten along for a while, and he had a lot of experience with Zhou Wu's "craftsmanship".
I saw Ye Xiuyuan walk to the table, pull up his chopsticks, and said meaningfully: "Brother Zhou, to be honest, I don't believe in your cooking skills at all, but for your craftsmanship, I firmly believe that this thing is ...... from your previous The liquid that comes out is similar, but it's really good for the body. ”
After speaking, Ye Xiuyuan raised his chopsticks and picked up the tomato scrambled eggs, and without thinking about it, he directly put it in his mouth, chewed it lightly, and swallowed it.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Ye Xiuyuan's eyes widened, and his face was full of horror.
Seeing this, the people around were frightened and took a few steps back.
"Chef Ma is right, this kid really poisoned the dish! Look at his hideous expression! This poison seems to be very strong! ”
"This kid is finished, poisoned in the dish!"
"Humph! See how he ends! ”
The onlookers ridiculed Zhou Wu one after another.
"Hahahaha!" At this time, Ye Xiuyuan laughed wildly, and saw him hurriedly run to Zhou Wu's side and sit on the ground: "Brother Zhou, I've upgraded!" After speaking, he hurriedly closed his eyes and cultivated.
With Ye Xiuyuan's breakthrough, the surrounding aura also fluctuated violently, and there were also several monks among the onlookers, especially Yang Zilan, a monk on the first floor of the foundation building period, who could clearly feel the fluctuations of Ye Xiuyuan's true qi.
"This guy has obviously just stepped into the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period, and he just ate a bite of that red dish, and he actually broke through directly!"
Yang Zilan's heart was shocked, and among the people present, she was the only one who knew best how difficult it was to cultivate.
Just when everyone was still thinking that the dish was poisonous, Yang Zilan walked up, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
"Miss!" The fat man hurriedly shouted, but he was still eaten by Yang Zilan.
The tomato entered her stomach, and suddenly, a burst of energy gushed out, Yang Zilan's eyes were also surprised, and she hurriedly took another bite, the explosion of energy made her, a monk in the foundation building period, also calm down, directly picked up the plate, and ate all the tomato scrambled eggs.
"Really? Is it really that delicious? Ma Fatzi couldn't believe his eyes, in his eyes on weekdays, Yang Zilan had a noble temperament and his eyes were above the top, but today's gaffe made him unbelievable, so he hurriedly walked over, picked up the plate, and licked the only residue left on the plate.
"Huh! This taste, sweet and sour, sweet and fresh, fresh and ......" After speaking, a faint true qi gushed out from Ma Fatzi's body.
"It's infuriating! It's really angry! I didn't expect that I hadn't been able to cultivate my True Qi after cultivating for thirty years, and it turned out to be just the residue of a mouthful of food, which allowed me to break through! The fat man shouted excitedly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the restaurant is closed today, and if anyone says anything about today's events, don't blame me Yang Zilan for not being emotional." Yang Zilan said coldly.
When everyone heard this, they dared to say more, and hurriedly left the restaurant.
Subsequently, Yang Zilan summoned his buddies and told them to be optimistic about Zhou Wu, so he left in a hurry.
"Isn't it just a tomato scrambled egg? Is it really such a good effect? Zhou Wu said in wonder.
At this time, Ye Xiuyuan also completed a breakthrough and came to the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period.
"Lao Ye, you're finally ready, hurry, try these two dishes." Zhou Wu said.
Ma Fatzi also broke through, stood aside, and looked at Zhou Wu's eyes full of admiration.
Ye Xiuyuan glanced at the dishes on the table, frowned, and said, "Brother Zhou, I want to taste it too, but after just one bite of this first dish, my cultivation will skyrocket, and I am worried that my cultivation will not be able to withstand the energy contained in these remaining two dishes." ”
When Zhou Wu heard this, he smiled helplessly, and said self-deprecatingly: "I'm really a failure as a chef." ”
"Failure? What do you mean by that? Ye Xiuyuan asked.
"I just asked you to try the food, it was to let you taste the taste, and you only cared about breaking through!" Zhou Wu said.
Ye Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "I just cared about the breakthrough and forgot what it tasted like." ”
"I remember, I remember." Ma Fatzi hurriedly said.
"How does it taste?" Zhou Wu hurriedly looked at the fat man.
The fat man thought for a moment and said, "Ugh! Just now I was only concerned about the breakthrough, but I still remember a little bit of the taste, sweet and sour, it is a good dish, but this dish is really not blessed for ordinary people to enjoy. ”
"Indeed, Brother Zhou, did you use any spirit fruit or something like that for this dish?" Ye Xiuyuan asked.
"Isn't it just two tomatoes and two eggs? It's all over my hometown. ”
"It must be something inside, can you let the old man see the true face of this spirit fruit." Ye Xiuyuan looked at Zhou Wu expectantly.
Zhou Wu nodded, and somewhere he took out a tomato and an egg and placed them on the table.
"Shhh Ye Xiuyuan saw this! Take a gasp.
"This is a second-order red spirit fruit!" Ma Fatzi said in shock.
And Ye Xiuyuan's gaze never took off the egg.
"Brother Zhou, is this egg a ......" Ye Xiuyuan has seen roosters, and he has also heard that the succession of Babao chickens depends on laying eggs, and the demon beasts that can lay eggs in the iron box, except for Babao chickens, are Qiankun ducks.
Zhou Wu nodded and said, "It's just an egg, what a fuss." ”
Ye Xiuyuan held the egg with trembling hands and said: "The legendary Babao Chicken is noble, and there has been no trace of the Babao Chicken on the mainland for thousands of years!" I didn't expect you to eat its eggs and make a dish! You this! Loser's stuff! Two eggs! That's two eight-treasure chickens! Unexpectedly! I made a dish. ”
"That! I take the liberty of asking, what kind of monster is Babao chicken? Isn't it amazing? The fat man asked curiously.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't." Ye Xiuyuan's face suddenly became serious, and he was so frightened that the fat man hurriedly retreated.
In this way, the two sat on the edge of the table until the next morning, when Yang Zilan came back in a hurry.
"Senior, the little woman neglected you before, and I ask my seniors to forgive me." As soon as Yang Zilan entered the door, he hurriedly bowed to Zhou Wu to apologize.
Lying on the table and sleeping all night, Zhou Wu and Meng said, "What senior?" I'm only in my early thirties, and if it's okay, we'll go first. ”
"Senior, please stay, the little woman has something to say." Yang Zilan hurriedly blocked Zhou Wu's way.
Zhou Wu said: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't delay my tour of the mountains and rivers." ”
Yang Zilan said: "Senior, my Caiyun Sect will be held once every ten years after half a month, and my seniors are not interested in going to see it?" ”
"I'm not interested, I'm already married." After speaking, he pulled Ye Xiuyuan and walked out of the restaurant.
At this time, Ma Fatzi came out of the kitchen, only to see that he was still holding a few pieces of cabbage leaves and eggplant skins in his hands.
"Miss, that's the ingredients for the remaining two dishes."
Yang Zilan looked at it, her eyes widened, and she said, "Fourth-order Hundred Leaf Flower, Fourth-Order Mo Yuan Fruit!" ”
"By the way, Miss, the monk next to that kid last night seemed to say that the red dish seems to be made of second-order red spirit fruit and eggs laid by some eight-treasure chicken, and I don't know what a two-treasure chicken is......"
As soon as Ma Fatzi finished speaking, Yang Zilan rushed out in a gust of wind.
