divine talisman

As the woman entered, the room suddenly became silent, and even the narcissistic Qiao Nan and the nympho Pei Pei consciously shut their mouths.

Chen Xi looked up, and saw that this woman was tall and well-proportioned, with a beautiful nose and cherry lips, picturesque eyebrows, skin that was more frosty than snow, and was dressed in black clothes. Looking from afar, she looked like a lonely and blooming black flower. Peony has a unique sense of coldness.

"Her name is Du Qingxi, the owner of Qingxi Restaurant, she usually lives in a simple way, most of the time she spends her time in closed-door training, and rarely appears in the restaurant. Her origin is quite mysterious, and her strength is unknown. Give three points of courtesy."

Bai Wanqing's soft and pleasant voice quietly penetrated into Chen Xi's ears. Only then did he understand the identity of the woman in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling a little surprised. The ability of this woman to be in charge of the number one restaurant in Songyan City at such a young age is indeed astonishing. endlessly.

After Du Qingxi walked in, he directly ignored everyone, and only glanced at Chen Xi indiscriminately, then turned his gaze to Old Man Ma, and said directly: "The apprentices you recruit will be supplied with a hundred primordial stones every day, and they will learn cooking skills. The materials used are also provided free of charge, but you must sign a three-year agreement with me to guarantee that you will only work in my Qingxi Restaurant within three years, how about it?" The voice was cold and clear, revealing an unquestionable taste.

Old man Ma shook his head and said: "I only teach cooking skills, you have to discuss these things with that kid."

Du Qingxi frowned, looked at Chen Xi, and said slowly: "You are quite clear about the conditions I said, right? Whether you sign the agreement or not is entirely up to you."

To be honest, such a condition was beyond Chen Xi’s expectations. He originally thought that it would be a blessing to be able to earn dozens of primordial stones a day, but he didn’t expect that Du Qingxi would directly give a reward of 100 primal stones per day, which made him astonished. At the same time, I couldn't help being surprised.

After thinking silently for a while, Chen Xi made a decision, and replied: "I can agree to only work at Qingxi Restaurant, but the time cannot be guaranteed, but what is certain is that as long as I stay in Songyan City for a day, I will definitely not choose another one. Working in a restaurant."

He did this just in case, he had too many burdens on his shoulders, and he couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to work as an apprentice spirit chef in Qingxi Restaurant for three years.

Du Qingxi was stunned, as if he didn't expect Chen Xi to dare to bargain with him, so he nodded coldly after a while and said, "I hope you can do it."

After saying that, she turned and left, her movements were crisp and neat, without any muddling.

From Du Qingxi entering the house to leaving, it took only a moment, but her aura and decisive words were vividly displayed, coupled with her aloof and cold beauty, it was like a high-ranking queen inspecting her own body. Territory, people unconsciously feel awe.

But these had little effect on Chen Xi, he only knew that he had become a spiritual chef apprentice with a daily salary of hundreds of primordial stones, so he felt very comfortable, so he didn't care how strong Du Qingxi's attitude was.

……

"Miss, I have checked it out. Here are the detailed information about Chen Xi." Wu Feng looked respectful and handed over a piece of paper.

Wu Feng has a fair complexion and a soft temperament. When Du Qingxi was born, he was placed beside Du Qingxi, like a shadow, guarding him inseparably.

"Chen Xi, the eldest grandson of the former head of the Chen family in Songyan City..."

All the things about Chen Xi were recorded in detail on the paper, from his birth to the present, all the big and small things were presented on a thin piece of paper.

After Du Qingxi finished checking, a trace of surprise appeared in his cold starry eyes: "The family was destroyed, the parents were separated, the marriage contract was broken, and the grandfather was killed... This guy is really unlucky, no wonder he is called a broom star."

Wu Feng frowned and said, "Miss, don't you feel sorry for him, so you offer such generous terms? Those ingredients are all things with a lot of spiritual energy, so it seems... a bit inappropriate for him to use them for free, right? "

Du Qingxi said indifferently: "As long as he can learn one-tenth of the culinary skills from old man Ma before the Nanman Shayu trial, so what if some materials are wasted?"

Wu Feng seemed to realize something, and exclaimed: "Miss, do you really want to go to the Southern Barbarian Territory?"

Du Qingxi said indifferently: "That's right, I have already obtained a Fengyuan Pill, and it is not a problem at all to reduce my strength to the innate level, but you also know that the Nanman Shayu's spiritual energy was exhausted, and the evil spirit was overwhelming, and I spent three years there. If there is no spiritual chef to follow, there is only a dead end."

Wu Feng said in astonishment: "How could it be three years, the ordinary Nanman Shayu is opened, and it will be closed in less than three months, is there something wrong this time?"

Du Qingxi glanced at Wu Feng coldly, and said after a long time: "My father told me these things, are you sure you want to know?"

Wu Feng didn't know what horrible thing he thought of, so he shivered suddenly, shook his head quickly and said: "This subordinate is only worried about the safety of the lady, and there is no intention to offend."

Du Qingxi waved his hand, and ordered: "You go back first, remember, don't spread the news about Chen Xi's cooking training in Qingxi Restaurant. Although the Li family is small, behind it is the shadow of the Su family in southern Xinjiang. , it’s better not to have a dispute with it.”

Wu Feng solemnly agreed, and with a sway of his body, it turned into a faint black smoke and disappeared.

……

Not long after Du Qingxi left, Bai Wanqing also bid farewell and left. As for Qiao Nan and Pei Pei, old man Ma drove them out of the room with an iron spoon, leaving him and Chen Xi alone.

Old man Ma didn't like nonsense, and he didn't intend to talk to Chen Xi at all, so he immediately started teaching cooking skills.

Before passing on the art, the puppet puppets carried plates like flowing water and placed them in front of Chen Xi. Each plate contained several kinds of various ingredients that had not been dissected.

After a rough calculation, Chen Xi found that there were hundreds of plates and thousands of ingredients. He couldn't help being slightly startled, what is old man Ma going to do?

"These [-] kinds of ingredients involve fruits and vegetables, grains, spiritual herbs, monsters and poultry flesh...they are the most basic ingredients, also known as low-level ingredients, as long as you can use these ingredients to cook various Different dishes, and their efficacy can be used by monks in the Houtian realm, then it is considered an introduction."

"Now I will show you the recipes of thirteen dishes. Each of these thirteen recipes has its own emphasis, such as knife skills, spirit fire, five elements collocation, etc. You should pay attention to study."

After the old man Ma talked a lot, he came to the kitchen counter, grabbed seven or eight kinds of ingredients, and began to teach in person.

"This dish is called Spicy Braised Chilin Shrimp. Chilin Shrimp was born on the bank of Lingshui and is one foot long. Seashell pepper is used as an auxiliary material, and water herbs, green mane wild boar oil, emerald salt and other ingredients are used as auxiliary ingredients, and cooked with a strong fire..."

While talking, old man Ma didn't have any idle hands. He first dissected the material, then controlled the spirit fire. After it was hot, he put in the seasoning and stirred quickly with the spoon and the pot.

Chen Xi stared at old man Ma without blinking his eyes, concentrating on it.

Five years of making talismans has made him develop an excellent habit, that is, no matter what he does, as long as it is what he wants to do, he will devote himself to it in a very short period of time.

And for these ten days, Chen Xi had been relentlessly visualizing the statue of Fuxi every day, and the power of his soul was advancing by leaps and bounds at an astonishing speed, faintly reaching the edge of a breakthrough.

As soon as he concentrated his attention at this moment, his mind instantly entered an ethereal state. Old man Ma's movements slowed down in his eyes. heart.

It's sizzling!

A strange, pungent and pungent fragrance wafted throughout the room.

Not long after, on the white jade plate, there was a whole body of red-skinned prawns entrenched in it, and traces of oily and boiling soup sizzled on the surface of the red-skinned prawns, exuding a mouth-watering spicy aroma.

"Taste the taste. If what you make in the future can't reach this taste, don't tell people that you are my apprentice!" The old man Ma was in high spirits, showing a look of arrogance, and he obviously had a great deal of respect for his craft. big confidence.

Chen Xi swallowed hard, picked up his chopsticks and gently touched the shell of the shrimp. The red-skinned shrimp split a neat gap in the middle, exposing the white and crystal-clear shrimp meat inside, and the aroma became more and more alluring.With a slight flick of the chopsticks, he picked up a piece of shrimp meat that was still emitting steam, and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the shrimp meat landed on his tongue, a unique hot and spicy sensation instantly hit his whole body. Chen Xi only felt his tongue tremble slightly, as if he had been electrocuted. Chewing lightly, the shrimp meat is delicate and flexible, with a spicy and refreshing taste, stretching and smooth, and extremely delicious.

"How do you feel?" Old man Ma crossed his arms and looked confident.

Chen Xi said vaguely, "Let me take another bite." As he spoke, he waved his chopsticks again, and dropped them like raindrops. He no longer had the usual calm and calm appearance, but was like a starved ghost reincarnated, gobbling it up and eating , In the blink of an eye, the entire red prawn has been completely wiped out.

It's no wonder that Chen Xi lost his composure. The red-skinned shrimps are really delicious. To him, who has only eaten rice and pickles for more than ten years, the red-skinned shrimps are no different from the rare and supreme delicacy in the world. cannot.

What's more, after eating the Chilin Shrimp, he clearly sensed a stream of mellow aura pouring into his dantian, which made his cultivation soar a little in an instant!

Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, no wonder the rich and powerful families all have their own spiritual chefs, who can not only taste delicious food, but also absorb spiritual energy. Who wouldn't like to enjoy such dishes?

Old man Ma is very satisfied with Chen Xi's performance, actions are often more convincing than words, and Chen Xi's wolfing down just now is undoubtedly the highest compliment to his culinary skills.But he still said contemptuously: "Boy, this is the dish prepared for the acquired monks, can you be a little bit promising?"

Chen Xi remained silent, but he was filled with embarrassment in his heart. He really lost his composure just now...

"For a qualified spiritual chef, delicious food is a road that can relax the tongue and enrich the life of cultivation. It is the ultimate goal of every spiritual chef's lifelong exploration and climbing. Boy, I want to become a qualified Chef Ling, it's not that simple."

The old man Ma's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and there was endless fanaticism and determination in his eyes.

Chen Xi was in a daze. Unconsciously, he was full of expectations for his future life!
