Night of the Broken Gliph

Northerners care most about their cultivation and ability. To them, someone like Yeung Chun is a weirdo but there aren’t many g-chefs to be found in the world, which make Yeung Chun a special being. There were even elites who travelled a far distance just to have a taste of Yeung Chun’s cooking! It has now became a secret amongst Northern elites, and they call it the Spring Peak Feast.

The Spring Peak Feast was so delicious that it could make them travel a long way just for the taste of it.

What Chui Yim doesn’t know was that the precious Spring Peak Feast in North was just home cooked food that he have daily.

After introducing a few dishes, all of them on the table was already drooling badly. Yeung Chun than moved to the plate in the center that was shining in the colour of a flame. “And here’s the main dish. Sunset Starlightwith Sunset umbrella as the main ingredient. I stir fry it with three other kinds of vegetable.”

The plate Yeung Chun was pointing had many diamond like mushroom in it, making the dish look like starlight n the sky. “I’ll dig in now!” With a shout, Chui Yim picked up his chopsticks and popped a mushroom in his mouth. “Wow!” His eyes lit up instantly.

Yeung Chun laughed proudly. Well, he was the person who invented this Sunset Starlight after all. “Sunset Umbrella is a mushroom with spicy and stingy taste. Thus I milden it with vegetables that taste sweet, sour and bitter. When the spiciness is milden, only the juicy and smooth texture of the Sunset Umbrella was left.”

Chui Yim whom once dealt with Chui Tin and Lam Ming Sum knew what he should do to make a g-chef happy. He immediately turned to Yeung Chun with admiration as if he was some type of god. “Wow! You’re such a splendid chef! I have eyes but failed to recognize your great talent.  

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKNF0OZzDO 維尼

As a saying goes, you can offend anyone but not your chef, Chui Yim who was indulged in the delicacies willingly admit to his mistake while enjoying his food. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFWg6Y07Zz 維尼

Great wine, great dishes, great friends. This feast was full of happiness. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr7geYgHLS 維尼

Even Lam Ming Sum was over the moon and took a few cups of wine, painting part of her dim skin red. As she laughed and cheered loudly, Kan Hang can’t help but sigh at the scene. Lam Ming Sum was a cheerful girl, but being in the palace, she was definitely under high pressure, especially after Kam Chin Kee’s departure. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvbLWmdg5S 維尼

“Ha! It’s now my turn!” Lam Ming Sum shouted and landed on the ground with a roll, mimicking chinese heroes stuns before running into the kitchen happily.

“Beware.” Kan Hang said, but Lam Ming Sum ran to the kitchen after waving her hands. “It’s okay!” 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqEknrOqmi 維尼

Within no time small sized Lam Ming Sum exited the kitchen with a huge bowl making it a funny scene to look at. She made two more rounds and in the end, there was a huge chopping board and a white jade plate on the table alongside the huge basin.

When she has finished preparing, Lam Ming Sum turned to Chui Yim with a smile. “Brother Chui, do you remember this sashimi?” 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcd96Alf1X 維尼

This made Chui Yim burst out in laughter after a short pause. 8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsLZiAw71b 維尼

Chui Yim sat on a chair, swinging his legs up and down along with his head. He popped a piece of sashimi in his mouth and gasped. “The fish is so fresh!” 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0euRqpLJN 維尼

“Of course!” Lam Ming answered, taking a piece of sashimi too. But unlike Chui Yim who was enjoying the food, Lam Ming looked like he was in pain. “This high-grade seamouth cost fifty silver taels!” 8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWxnOvAVcC 維尼

“Just let me eat! I’m a wealthy man!” Chui Yim patted his chest. “Mhmm, come back later. I have a surprise for you.” 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU8oEAsVAR 維尼

“Surprise?” Lam Ming blinked his small eyes.

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡihmsQwUPPK 維尼

“Hehe, surprises are meant to be kept secret.”8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡwECAtzuJq0 維尼

“Then I’ll wait and see. If I’m not pleasantly surprised, we’ll eat less tomorrow.” 8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMqfEpQ9yu 維尼

Sashimi was the last dish Lam Ming Sum made for Chui Yim before they parted ways, and during their reunion today. Lam Ming Sum is going to make sashimi once again.

She grab the fish in the basin with her small hands. Yeung Chun watched the scene with anticipation. The moment Lam Ming Sum grabbed the fish he could tell that it was alive and moving. Newbie chef would most likely be afraid and failed to grab the fish well, but Yeung Chun realised that Lam Ming Sum was able to catch the fish tightly and not flinch despite the fish’s hard struggle. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqhQRzlyT2 維尼

The non g-chefs were just watching it casually, but Yeung Chun, a g-chef, was all focused on her skills. The way she grab hold of the fish revealed the amazing techniques of  her teacher; mother at the same time, Sit Ting, was.

She placed the qualitied seamouth on the chopping board. Seamouth was a low class gliphic beast who had four strokes of gliph found on the corner of it’s mouth, forming a simple gliph that boost the fish’s speed. Because it was a low class gliphic beast, seamouth had energliph store in their body. However, there was not much g-chefs who dares to serve seamouth as sashimi as a seamouth’s excrement organs was deep in the gliphic beast’s body and failure to handle the organ properly; bursting it by accident, would make the fish foul smelling and not able to consume anymore. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRAxY2y1sY 維尼

Thus g-chefs would choose to get rid of the organ slowly before cooking the fish. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHQjfg74qY 維尼

But if you were to make sashimi, this wouldn’t work as fresh was an important factor to good sashimi! Which means the fish should be consume as soon as it was served. On the other hand, this also meant that the g-chef serving this dish should have great techniques. Wanting to serve this fish as sashimi meant that one do not have the luxury of time to prepare the seamouth’s troublesome and excerment area afterall.

Lam Ming Sum pressed onto the fish with her left hand steadily. No matter how it struggled, it stayed there as she felt for the knife on her back. The black cloth on the knife fell to the ground slowly, revealing the kitchen knife. It was no other than the Heart Defender Chui Yim made her. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsDEssaukn 維尼

Lam Ming Sum’s cheek was still flushed red and she was still drunk, but her eyes were fixated on the seamouth as if that was the only thing in the world. “I’m so sorry.” Lam Ming Sum muttered to the fish and Chui Yim knew that this was a habit. She respect everything, including the food in her hands. If there isn’t food in the world, humans would be dead by now so it is alos equvilant of them giving human the ability to survive. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96fziijjRY 維尼

Lam Ming Sum mumbled and hand right hand that moved was like a blue strike of lightning. Yeung Chun’s eyes lit up as he to catch the source of the blue lightning. It’s from the gliph on the kitchen’s knife, the Frosty Moon Gliph. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡue7aakhLQJ 維尼

She smiled thinly, guessing something. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5irm4n8zJC 維尼

Pff. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY6sUWqjuY 維尼

With that, the knife was being stabbed into the fish’s head rapidly. This was a method of ending the fish’s life without pain and before it could feel it. The instant the fish stopped breathing Lam Ming Sum made the next cut. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP3BvRx7t1 維尼

Szzz! 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xim6kacwF 維尼

The fish head broke with the noise and Lam Ming Sum focused with her stable hands. She continued to make another slash following the spine. 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGC6HmYHeP 維尼

Whoosh! 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrwcl21uSp 維尼

In an instant, half of the fish’s meat fell smoothing. Yeung Chun had the urged to cheer for her, but he kept it in with the fear of affecting her. Isn’t she afraid of cutting the excrement organ? 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡd42ii4Pp8c 維尼

Lam Ming Sum placed the meat on the white jade plate before turning the fish over to cut the meat off from the other side. She picked up the knife and went down on it without hesitation. How fast she acted made Yeung Chun suspect if she even knew of the seamouth’s excrement organ’s existence! Even I dare not make sashimi which such confidence and rapid speed!  8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Kn6i6fZo 維尼

But Lam Ming Sum did so! 8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjLejvtVQS 維尼

Whoosh8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9kMSLLud6 維尼

Oh no! 

8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvhfrRN5Ci 維尼

Yeung Chun’s heart dropped. With his cultivation, he could feel that the area Lam Ming Sum cut into was where the excrement organ was, and Lam Ming Sum did stoped in her tracks slightly. At this time, the knife with blue light turned into the red colour of sun; as if it was under high heat. Lam Ming Sum’s hand only stopped for a short moment before continuing to cut the fish!8964 copyright protection111ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm5UWxJTLj 維尼
