Chef of Yangquan Restaurant

Chapter 385 Important Responsibility
A genius?

Xu Qing's heart moved.

Sure enough, Master Yuxian continued, "His name is Kaiyou, Kaiyou the Dragon of the Clouds. But this person is very mysterious, and even I don't know much about him. I'm afraid I can't help you much in this regard. But you must be extremely vigilant about this person. After all, someone who is feared by the Eight Phoenix Immortals is definitely not an ordinary character."

Xu Qing nodded gently and asked again: "Who are these Phoenix Eight Immortals?"

"The Eight Phoenix Immortals, each of them corresponds to a legendary kitchen utensil. They are the stars born for the kitchen utensil and are the natural partners of the legendary kitchen utensil. Once they hold the legendary kitchen utensil, their strength will increase dramatically. I heard that you once defeated one of the Eight Phoenix Immortals, but he didn't have the legendary kitchen utensil in his hand at that time, and his strength was not at its peak."

"And now, the man named Jinghua has obtained the kitchenware that was destined for him."

Xu Qing remembered what the old man had said before and asked, "Master Yuxian, is the sneaky person you mentioned before Jinghua?"

Master Yuxian said, "It was him. The legendary kitchen utensils are actually sealed in the waterfall in the mountains. I am the one responsible for sealing and guarding the kitchen utensils."

Xu Qing asked: "Master, you don't seem to have a good impression of the Phoenix Eight Immortals. If that's the case, why did you give the kitchen utensils to Jinghua?"

"Because he cooked an extremely delicious dish that suited my taste. I really enjoyed it. Now that I think about it, Jinghua's knife skills seem to have some of your influence."

Xu Qing nodded. "When Jinghua and I had a cooking duel, he surpassed his own limits by comparing his knife skills to mine, so his knife skills are somewhat similar to mine."

"I see."

Master Yuxian said: "Judging from Jinghua's knife skills at that time, he was still far behind you. But you must not underestimate him. After obtaining the corresponding legendary kitchen utensils, the strength of the Phoenix Eight Immortals is incomparable."

Xu Qing said, "I understand. Master Yuxian, I have another question. Why do the Phoenix Eight Immortals want to get the legendary kitchen utensils? The dark cuisine world wants to control people's hearts and even the world with cooking skills. So, as the source of the dark cuisine world, does the Tai Chi cuisine world have similar ideas? Do they also want to use the legendary kitchen utensils to achieve their ulterior motives?"

Master Yuxian pondered for a while and said, "In history, the legendary kitchen utensils have been gathered in the hands of the Phoenix Eight Immortals more than once, but they don't seem to have used the kitchen utensils to do anything bad. However, the Tai Chi cooking world is very mysterious. I can't simply conclude that they are good or evil, or just like their name, the Tai Chi cooking world, they have both good and evil sides. This can only be grasped by you."

Xu Qing was silent.

In fact, that's how he felt about Jinghua.

The two have different philosophies, but as opponents, he admires Jinghua's strength and his unremitting pursuit of culinary skills.

Therefore, he could not simply determine whether Jinghua was good or evil? Was he an enemy he should defeat, or a friend he could get along with?

Perhaps this is what human beings are like, too complex to be defined by simple words.

It is rare to see such a clear distinction between good and evil as in the light and dark culinary worlds.

Master Yuxian looked up at the blue sky, was silent for a while, and said: "The sky is clear and cloudless, but I can feel that a storm is coming. A rare genius has appeared in the dark cuisine world, and this generation of Phoenix Eight Immortals is young and powerful. And you, Xu Qing, you are the most talented person I have ever met. With so many geniuses gathered together, it is destined to be chaotic. This is the fate of geniuses. I can feel that the fate of this world is in your hands."

Master Yuxian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, you have a mission. Maybe you don't care, maybe you don't think it's important, or maybe you think it's troublesome, but I still hope you can take on the responsibility. If you are destined to fight each other, you must decide a winner before you can stop. I hope that person will be someone who can bring happiness to everyone. I am old and no longer have the strength to shoulder the burden of the whole world. I can only rely on you."

Xu Qing said: "Master Yuxian, don't worry. I will be responsible for what I should do. No matter it is fate, responsibility, or something else, I will do what I should do." Hearing what Xu Qing said, Master Yuxian felt relieved.

To be honest, the endless stream of talented people, all of whom are very young, really puts him under a lot of pressure.

His era has long passed.

He was no longer in his peak condition, and facing these young and strong talented teenagers, he was really powerless.

Fortunately, there is Xu Qing in this world.

Xu Qing not only has an extremely outstanding talent, but what is even more outstanding is his heart as a chef. He constantly pursues the ultimate in cooking skills, but he will not be blinded by them. Instead, while pursuing the ultimate in cooking skills, he also brings a sense of happiness to diners.

If he could put the future of the world in Xu Qing's hands, he would be able to rest assured.

Master Yuxian said, "Jinghua has taken the Garuda knife, and he may have already been used to the kitchen utensils. I guess he will come to challenge you again in the next few days, so you should be prepared. I will be here during this period of time. If you have any questions about cooking, you can come to me at any time. I don't have any other abilities as an old man, but I have some experience and knowledge, which should be able to help you."

Xu Qing said bluntly: "Then I'm sorry to bother Master Yuxian."

The accumulation of culinary skills is not achieved overnight. Xu Qing may have outstanding talent, but he lacks a lot in experience and knowledge.

To cope with future uncertainties, the best strategy is to arm yourself as much as possible.

After finishing the business, Master Yuxian cordially invited Xu Qing to stay for dinner and wanted to show Xu Qing some of his skills.

Xu Qing was also very curious about Master Yuxian's strength, so he stayed.

But I didn’t expect that the sumptuous meal that Master Yuxian had promised would turn out to be all egg dishes, a total of five plates, and each plate was filled with eggs.

Whether it’s cold salad, steamed, stir-fried, braised, or fried, each dish is cooked differently.

But there was nothing else on the plate except the eggs.

Master Yuxian smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I only have chickens in my yard. They've been eating well lately and laying eggs every day. I can't finish them all by myself, and they'll go bad if left for too long. It's just right that you're here."

Are you clearing out the inventory here?

Xu Qing was speechless.

However, this was a dish that Master Yuxian had spent a lot of effort to make. As a sign of respect, Xu Qing had to finish it.

　The missing chapter will be moved to tomorrow and I will make up for it.
