Year after year, even Catherine was about to accept the fact that she couldn't change anything, that she and her father would continue to be ridiculed like this, and her mother would never come back.
However, when Catherine was six years old, Catherine met a travel-worn traveler by chance, and invited the traveler to stay at her home by chance. Catherine made a dinner for the traveler by herself.
The traveler ate the dinner made by Catherine herself, and said that Catherine had a talent for cooking, and asked Catherine if she wanted to learn cooking from him.
Catherine had already begun to accept the fact that she was just a mediocre child. Cooking and cooking food was her little hobby. When she heard that she was talented in cooking, she was very happy and expressed her desire to learn cooking.
Louis was a little worried that this traveler was a liar. After all, no matter how good-for-nothing he was, he was still a member of the Marquis's family, and his daughter was just a very ordinary child in every way since she was a child. talent.Moreover, the world is prejudiced against girls as chefs, thinking that girls can only be housewives in terms of cooking skills, and they cannot be chefs.
But seeing that Catherine wanted to learn so much, Louis agreed to let Catherine learn cooking from the traveler.
So Catherine began her career of learning cooking. She worked very hard, and as the master said, she was very talented in cooking. After only studying for half a year, Louis felt that the food made by Catherine was better than the food in some famous restaurants. All delicious.
Catherine opened a humble small restaurant after studying cooking with the master for a year, honing her cooking skills while running it.Because the food made by Catherine is so delicious, the reputation of the small restaurant is getting bigger and bigger. Those who discriminate against Catherine because Catherine is a girl are also crushed by Catherine's amazing cooking skills.Catherine's culinary skills continued to improve through honing, and in less than two years, Catherine was already a well-known little cook.
Catherine, who has made great achievements, is working harder on the path of cooking, and she regards cooking as the way forward in her life.As time goes by, Catherine's culinary skills are getting better and better, and her reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Celebrities and nobles from far and near will come to taste her food, or invite her to be the chef of the banquet, and there are even rumors that she There is a good chance of being invited to be the head chef of a royal banquet.
She became someone that no one in the family would dare to underestimate.
72, oath
Of course, Catherine has not forgotten to continue to improve her cooking skills. She cherishes her talents very much, and she feels that only cooking skills can make herself valuable.
"Master, how about my lamb chops with truffle confit? I use olive oil to invigorate the aroma of truffles and then blend into the tender lamb chops, which can double the taste of the lamb chops!"
"Yes, Not Bad."
"Hee hee, showing this dish at the chamber of commerce dinner tonight will definitely amaze everyone!
"Master, master, how about my vine-smoked roasted foie gras with caviar? The grape-flavored foie gras with caviar can get unexpected results after being smoked with grape vines! This dish will be the finale at the Marquis dinner."
"Yes, Not Bad."
"Master, master, how about my Sidi Carlo sea bass? I want to take it out at the aristocratic dinner tonight. I heard that if I can get the appreciation of Prime Minister Charles this time, I can go to the Royal Palace next month. The chef of the dinner!"
"Yes, Not Bad."
Catherine is constantly improving her cooking skills and moving towards the path of a chef, which has become the meaning of her life.
But one day, the master said to her: "You are not the person I am looking for, you can't cook delicious food that makes people happy."
The master left after leaving this sentence, no matter how much Catherine begged to persuade him to stay, he would not stay.
The departure of the master made Catherine a huge blow.
Why, why am I not the one you're looking for?Why do you say I can't make delicious food that makes people happy?
Obviously I have talent, obviously I have never slacked off, obviously even gourmets or royals and nobles who eat delicious food from all over the world are full of praise for my food.
Even though you have been dissatisfied with me all this time, I still work hard.
Why, why deny me, why leave?
Catherine thought that the master did not recognize her talent.
So the heartbroken Catherine gritted her teeth and made an oath.
I will definitely become the most powerful chef in the world, and one day you will agree with me!
After taking this oath, in order to continue to improve her culinary skills, Catherine, who was only 14 years old at the time, entered the Imperial Culinary Academy, the highest institution of imperial culinary art.
In just one year, she learned and absorbed all the culinary skills of the teachers in the college, and graduated with the highest grades.
After graduation, Catherine chose to go to Beacon City, which is famous all over the country for its food.There are countless excellent chefs in Beacon City, and Catherine will come to this place to start from scratch and continue to improve.
Louis was worried about Catherine, so he followed.
So three years ago, father and daughter came to Lighthouse City and opened a Louis Hotel.In the first year of its opening, the Louis Grand Hotel directly crushed the Big Three restaurants and climbed to No.1 in the Michela rankings.
Of course, Catherine came to Beacon City not just to get No.1 in the Michela Ranking.Various restaurants in Beacon City have their specialties.
Mushroom soup at Lance Restaurant, pasta at Falk Restaurant, steak at Doron Restaurant, seafood at Wells Restaurant, etc. Each restaurant has its specialties.
Catherine is constantly learning their specialties, and making delicacies that surpass their specialties one by one.
Today, Catherine has been able to surpass all restaurants in all aspects of gastronomy.This also made Catherine more ambitious and motivated.
Look, master, I am indeed talented, my cooking skills can surpass anyone else!My next stop is the largest city in the human world, Violet City, which is independent of all human countries and known as the capital of human trade and food!
The top chefs of all mankind are gathered there.
There, I will climb to the top of the food in the human world and become the most powerful chef in the world!At that time, master, you will have to admit me no matter what!
Catherine has always believed that she can do it. She firmly believes that she has such a talent. So far, she has successfully surpassed the delicacies made by one chef after another, which is the best proof.
And now, her faith was shattered mercilessly.
A mountain that cannot be crossed no matter what lies in front of her, telling her that you will never be the best chef.
That is Mu Yunfan's delicacy.
In the past four days, no matter how hard Catherine tried her best and racked her brains, she couldn't make a breakthrough, even the pineapple and shrimp fried rice that was close to Mu Yunfan's pineapple and shrimp fried rice.
For the first time she felt the limits of her talents.As for Mu Yunfan's fried rice with pineapple and shrimp, she found that it was not something she could surpass with a little more effort.She clearly felt that she couldn't cook pineapple and fresh shrimp fried rice like Mu Yunfan's.
Being unable to surpass means that she cannot become the most powerful chef, and cannot be recognized by the most respected master who gives her life meaning.
The beliefs and dreams that have been held for many years are ruthlessly broken.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Master, I sure as hell, can't I?"
Saying this weakly, Catherine lost consciousness.
Not long after, the door was opened, and Louis, who was really worried, walked in, and was shocked when he saw Catherine who had fainted.
"Catherine, Catherine!"
Louis ran to Catherine, and when he saw the tears on Catherine's face, he knew immediately that Catherine had failed.
Looking at Catherine's haggard face, Louis couldn't help feeling distressed, then picked up Catherine and left the dedicated kitchen.
***
In the middle of the night, Catherine woke up slowly in bed, and when she turned her head, she saw Louis who was sleeping beside the bed.
Louis was awakened by Catherine's movements, looked up and saw that Catherine had woken up, was overjoyed, then noticed Catherine's weak face, and quickly asked, "You're awake, how is your body?"
Catherine smiled weakly and said, "I'm fine."
Catherine's body is fine, she just passed out because of overwork.
Louis said distressedly: "You have to pay attention to your body, how can you damage your body like this?"
Catherine did not answer, her eyes were lowered, her face was sad, and her lips trembled slightly. "Father, I really can't."
Louis hurriedly said: "You are so talented, why can't you do it? You just encountered a bottleneck for a while!"
Catherine kept shaking her head. "No, no, I know very well that this is not a bottleneck at all. I can feel the gap between me and Mu Yunfan from that dish. The gap is so big that it is impossible for me to catch up with him. Dad, as expected As the master said, I can't do it."
Catherine said, tears rolling down her face.
At this moment, her eyes no longer had the confidence and pride of the past.When Louis saw Catherine like this, he felt distressed for a while.
She was just an ordinary child without any talent and was ridiculed by her peers. After discovering that she has a talent in cooking, it became her lifelong belief, and she never slack off.
However, the culinary art, which was regarded as realizing the value and meaning of her life, was denied by the master who discovered that she possessed this talent. It is conceivable how great a blow this was to her.She has been working so hard all this time, just to get the master's approval.
However, this lifelong dream was ruthlessly shattered, leaving her what she is now.
Louis suddenly shouted: "Catherine, maybe that Mu Yunfan's cooking skills are not as good as yours!"
Catherine was taken aback.
Louis continued: "Maybe he was just lucky enough to get some great recipes, and he just made those delicacies based on these recipes. Without those recipes, maybe he couldn't make such delicacies at all. So in fact, maybe his cooking skills are not as good as yours!"
Catherine stared blankly at her father. "However, this is just your guess."
Louis said loudly: "Since it's a guess, then go prove it! You go to have a cooking competition with Mu Yunfan, choose a specific food theme, and ask to make food that has never appeared before! This will not prove his Are your cooking skills inferior to yours? And we can make a bet with him, if you win, let him give you those recipes, so that you can reach a higher level according to those recipes!"
***
ps1: As a food-themed book, this book has more than 20 words and finally the first real food competition will appear!I want to say that I will write the following plot with the greatest sincerity, and it will absolutely never make everyone feel bored!The following episode can be said to be the climax of this volume.
ps2: Also, the update this month is relatively slow, in fact, because it will be on the shelves next month, I want to save the manuscript for this.I really think about it, I really want everyone to continue to support this book, and the plot will definitely not disappoint everyone.And the update speed will be much faster next month.
ps3: Students who do not have the habit of subscribing can decide whether to subscribe after reading the next episode. I promise to finish writing this climactic episode before putting it on the shelves, so that everyone will not be stuck in half.
ps4: During this period of time, I was too afraid of writing bad plots. I wrote and deleted and deleted again, so the writing was a bit slow.This is more of an addition.
ps5: By the way, the words I wrote these paragraphs of ps are really super disturbing. After thinking about it for a long time, I still made these words, and I will add more by the way.In other words, don't you vote for a few monthly tickets to encourage this kind of behavior? (laugh)
73、Moths to the Flame
Listening to what Louis said, Catherine's eyes flashed a look of hope, but then hesitated: "But, will he agree?"
Louis said: "Don't worry! Father will use aggressive methods to provoke him. And if he refuses to agree, doesn't it prove that he is indeed inferior to you in cooking? At that time, we can ask him to give you the recipe at a high price. This matter Leave it to your father. Father, go and challenge him, Catherine, rest well, recover your body, recharge your batteries, and defeat Mu Yunfan!"
Catherine's eyes shook sharply, and finally, with a firm look in her eyes, she nodded vigorously.
Louis was relieved when he saw Catherine's eyes like this, and said with a smile, "You lie down first, and father will get you something to eat, and then you can rest."
Catherine nodded. "Thank you, Father."
So Louis went to the kitchen and took a bowl of porridge back to the room for Catherine to drink before leaving the room.
After leaving the room, Louis showed a worried look.
In fact, Louis had no choice but to ask Catherine and Mu Yunfan to have a cooking competition.Because if Mu Yunfan is really super good at cooking, it would be terrible.
However, Louis only did so.
Louis knows Catherine very well, and it is Catherine's belief in life that one day she will be recognized by her master. She has been working hard for this belief for so many years.Once the belief in life is broken, Catherine is likely to be depressed from the beginning.
The only way to cheer up Catherine is for her to defeat Mu Yunfan.
Louis clenched his fists. "Catherine, father believes in you. With your talent and hard work, you will be able to overcome all obstacles!"
