The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 27: Alternate Chef for State Banquet
imperial capital.

Lu Zuguang hung up the phone and switched the screen back to Douyin video.

The short video my younger sister Lu Jiaxin just released has been played on loop from the beginning for who knows how many times.

Every time I see "Boss Xia" wielding the ice blade to perform the Arhat Crystal Slash, pieces of crystal sashimi appear under his hands that look like exquisite works of art.

Lu Zuguang's eyes couldn't help but reveal an obsession.

This is the trick of the legend!

There are only those stunts.

Only then can the ingredients be cut into such an outrageous shape...

"My grandfather was obsessed with studying these unique skills left by his predecessors, but after a lifetime of research, he only had a rough understanding of one of the unique skills, and was still far from applying it to the actual cooking process."

"How did this young night market stall owner, who is only a few years older than me, do it?!"

Lu Zuguang murmured, his expression both amazed and complicated.

He is the successor of the Lu family in the eyes of outsiders.

Now at the age of 25, he is already a nine-star chef and is praised by people as a genius who has a good chance of being promoted to a top grade before the age of in this Dharma-Ending Age of the culinary world where many chefs are dying out.

However, Lu Zuguang himself knew it very well.

Compared with his predecessors, his "genius" is extremely weak.

Not to mention that the chef god Liu Maoxing set a great record that was unprecedented and unmatched by becoming a top chef at the age of 13.

Among Liu Maoxing’s friends, Lan Feihong, Lei En, and Jie Lu, which one of them is not young?

If you are still not a top grade at the age of 25, in that era, you are not even qualified to speak at the adults' table. During food industry meetings or competitions, you can only sit at the children's table and play around.

“No matter how slow the old guys are to react and how indifferent they are to the outside world, it won’t be long before they know that there is a strange man who has truly recreated the Lie Bing Xian Tai Mountain!”

"If I rush over now, I might be able to meet this extraordinary person!"

Lu Zuguang was about to go to the locker room, take off his white chef uniform, and go home.

At this time, a sturdy man in a suit, who looked like the leader's bodyguard, came to the room and said respectfully:
"Chef Lu, an important foreign guest is visiting and is already staying at the Diaoyu State Guesthouse."

"You are specifically asked to design the banquet menu."

Lu Zuguang's expression froze for a moment, then he replied, "I understand."

There is no way, he is the substitute "state banquet chef".

Whenever foreign guests of corresponding level and status visit, the superiors will arrange tasks according to the cuisines specialized by several candidate state banquet chefs.

You should know that the imperial kitchen in the palace has long since become a thing of the past along with the feudal monarchy.

The former court chefs also have new titles in the new era.

The famous chef for state banquets corresponds to a top-grade chef!
State Banquet Master.

This corresponds to Chef Lin who basically never shows up in public!
……

Ten o'clock at night.

The village courtyard became lively.

Xia An had just parked his electric tricycle when an online-hailing taxi stopped at the gate.

"father!"

Xiaoxi pounced directly into Xia An's arms, rolled around twice in comfort, and then suddenly said:
"I saw my mother in front of me, but Xixi was very well behaved. She knew that her mother and father were working, so she didn't make any noise or trouble!"

Hojo Miyoko got off the car and said with a smile on her face:
"Master, Xiaoxi is indeed very sensible. It is very easy to take care of her."

Xia An felt a little distressed, but also a little proud. He picked up the little girl and put her on his neck. As he walked towards the lobby, he said lovingly, "To reward Xiaoxi for being so well behaved, Dad will make delicious food for her right away!"

“Fried chicken, kola, no problem!”

Lan Xiaoxi was still thinking about something, and she cheered sweetly when she heard it:
"Then Dad, can you make me sashimi from the night market stall? Xixi wants to eat that kind of fish!"

Xia An's mouth twitched slightly.

My daughter is competing with sashimi, right? Sun Qidong and Lu Jiaxin sent Xiaoxi and Hojo Miyoko back.

He didn't mean to leave, just looked left and right.

Pretending to look at Xia An's living environment.

When I heard Lan Xiaoxi yelling for her father to make sashimi from the night market stall.

At the same time, both of them had hungry glimmers in their eyes.

Lu Jiaxin's eyes rolled around, and she guessed the reason why Boss Xia was in a dilemma. Perhaps he was worried about the parasite problem in sashimi, and was afraid that eating it would affect the development and health of the children.

"Cough cough."

she spoke.

"Boss Xia, I don't recommend children to eat raw sashimi of ordinary marine and freshwater fish."

"But fantasy ingredients are different. The food agency that controls a huge amount of fantasy ingredient resources has much stricter testing and screening methods than you think."

"For example, do you understand customs inspection? For example, unknown pathogens and other microorganisms, as well as parasitic life that may be carried by living food ingredients, are all key inspection items and cannot enter the Blue Star world at all!"

Xia An certainly knew about the customs inspection, and after hearing this he said in silence:
"So, those high-level fantasy ingredients that can awaken a person's gourmet cells when eaten can never appear on Blue Planet?"

"Awakening the gourmet cells?"

Lu Jiaxin was startled for a moment, then held her forehead with her hand, and there was a hint of fear in her words:
"My grandfather said that the gourmet cells are actually called gourmet demons. Once they are awakened accidentally, you will carry the ghost of a glutton who is never satisfied!"

"Many famous chefs who disappeared inexplicably were killed by backlash. So, Boss Xia, do you think that after awakening their gourmet cells, these people will still be able to stay in the Blue Star World?"

"In a place with scarce fantasy food, there is no way for them to keep hunting for food to feed the gourmet demons in their bodies!"

Xia An was surprised.

Sure enough, this world is very complicated.

It is because of Lu Jiaxin's family background that we can learn some of the hidden truths of the world from her.

But this truth may not be the real truth.

Xia An changed his mind and calmed down.

No matter what the food industry or cooking system is, he has the panel and can break through them all with his hard work.

"Then, I'll make sashimi of fantasy fish for Xiaoxi."

After a slight change of mindset, Xia An felt that he should feed his daughter more fantasy food.

People eat for food.

Is it necessary to doubt the impact of ingredients and food on human physical fitness?

Maybe by feeding my daughter high-quality food from a young age, I can cultivate a cute female superhero?

On the way back, Xia An had already bought up all the remaining 30 kilograms of fish from the app's fresh food mall, and now he was just waiting for it to be delivered to his door.

During the free time of waiting, Xia An took the time to look at his mobile phone.

Unexpectedly, the mobile phone information has exploded!
???

Xia An opened the prestige.

[Tong Kun: What's wrong with you? In the short video that topped Douyin's hot search list, the stall owner who reproduced the legendary dish in public, was it you? ! ]

【Tong Kun: Where are the people? ? 】

[Tong Kun: You hid it so well! I also want to eat the fresh bream on ice! ]

[Liu Hong: WTF Chef Xia, my circle of friends was flooded with a short video, but I watched it over and over again, and I always felt that the stall owner was you? ]

[Liu Hong: Is Chef Xia here? ? ]

【Liu Hong: (crying bitterly) You name a price, I am willing to pay a high price within my affordability, just to eat the dishes in the legendary story once, and make my life complete! 】
