Food: At the start, fish for Gourmet Food in Totsuki.

Lin Yu doesn't like Elder Guan and others. After all, the actions of these guys in the original book are quite eye-catching.

In the original novel, Liu Maoxing was framed by Bajielu, but to put it another way, even if Liu Maoxing was not framed, he did not set the fire intentionally. At most, it was a mistake that led to the burning of Yangquan Restaurant.

In this case, although Liu Maoxing was guilty, his crime did not deserve the death penalty. However, in the original novel, Elder Guan and others directly sentenced Liu Maoxing to death and sent him to Guan Qiulan.

Only by cooking a dish that satisfies Guan Qiulan can he be exempted from the death penalty.

He was sentenced to death for arson by mistake and no one was hurt. What kind of operation is this?

Not to mention that Liu Maoxing was framed by Bajielu, and these elders of the Kitchen Association don’t care about the lives of others at all.

The conviction of Liu Maoxing could even be said to be very crude.

The Yangquan Restaurant had just been burned down by a fire, and as soon as the people here ran out, people from the Chefs' Union showed up. They didn't go in to investigate the scene or anything. Instead, they just said that Liu Maoxing was the one who set the fire.

This 1.1 is too lazy to even act out. Badgeru only bribed Elder Weng and did not bribe other elders. However, other elders also turned a blind eye. The reason why they indulged Elder Weng was because they themselves were not clean either.

Everyone knows each other's situation inside and out, so as long as things don't get out of hand, they won't say much.

Lin Yu didn't dare to say that all the chefs' associations were like this, but the one in Huacheng was like this.

Although Elder Guan and others in the original novel seemed to be moved by Liu Maoxing and therefore appeared very sunny, but if you think about it carefully, these guys are just acting.

They needed a step, and Liu Maoxing offered them this step, so they naturally walked down it.

So after Lin Yu noticed Guan Qiulan's thoughts, he did not deny it. It all depends on how Guan Qiulan performs during this period. If she performs well, he doesn't mind helping Guan Qiulan.

The elders of the Chefs Association are now all old. In this era, living to this age can be considered quite long-lived, so it is normal for these guys to die suddenly in an accident.

Of course, everything depends on Guan Qiulan's performance afterwards. Otherwise, even though Lin Yu dislikes these guys, he won't take direct action against them.

After a brief conversation, Elder Guan left with a group of people, including Guan Qiulan. Guan Qiulan still needed to go back and sort things out, and he needed to teach her what to do next. As for Lin Yu, at Master Luo's invitation, he also stayed in the guest room of the Yangquan Restaurant.

Chapter 122: Tang Sanjie's Psychological Trauma, Liu Maoxing Joins Yangquan Restaurant

"Dad, who exactly is Mr. Lin Yu? Why are the elders of the Chefs' Association so respectful to him?"

At night, Lin Yu had already gone to the guest room, and Zhou Meili finally asked her question. She was really curious. Usually, the elders of the Kitchen Association were so arrogant and overbearing.

But in front of Lin Yu, these elders instantly became as cowardly as quails, as if Lin Yu could decide their life and death at will. This contrast made Zhou Meili feel incredible.

In fact, it was not just Zhou Meili. Other people from Yangquan Restaurant also saw this scene, and they were also extremely curious.

"Because he is related to Dasi, Dasi's status in the Guangming cuisine world is absolute."

Before Zhou Yu could speak, Tang Sanjie on the side spoke, and his words also attracted everyone's attention.

"Three heroes? How do you know these things?"

Hearing this, everyone was a little confused. They didn't know these things, but it seemed that Tang Sanjie knew a lot. You know, Tang Sanjie was just an apprentice of Yangquan Restaurant, but this apprentice actually knew these things.

"Because he's the young master of the Longzhen Restaurant, and the most famous senior there is probably Mr. Shui Jing!"

Master Luo Yu suddenly spoke up and said that he already knew Tang Sanjie's identity, and that Yangquan Restaurant would naturally check the apprentice's situation after recruiting him.

Although Yangquan Restaurant is just a restaurant, it is also very famous. Moreover, Luo Xi also holds the legendary map of kitchen utensils in his hand, so he will naturally be very careful when recruiting apprentices.

Tang Sanjie has strong cooking skills and his basic skills are also very good, but it can be seen that Tang Sanjie has psychological trauma, so Tang Sanjie often has a mentality of giving up.

There are many connections between the Guangming culinary world, and the identities of Tang Sanjie are not difficult to find out. Both Master Luo Xi and Zhou Yu actually knew the identities of Tang Sanjie a long time ago.

Tang Sanjie's father naturally also knew that his son had run to Yangquan Restaurant.

He also knew that forcing his son to do these things had caused him severe psychological trauma. If he didn't find a way to repair this, he would never become a top chef in the future.

So he could only leave the three Tang brothers in Yangquan Restaurant and asked Master Luo Xi and Zhou Yu to take care of the three Tang brothers.

However, Tang Sanjie has not changed much, which caused Zhou Yu and Master Luo Xi to gradually lose their patience. In the absence of a second apprentice, they naturally took care of Tang Sanjie.

But when Liu Maoxing appeared, they had a new apprentice with greater potential, and his mentality was much better than Tang Sanjie's, so they naturally knew how to make choices.

After all, even if Tang Sanjie was kicked out, he would return to Longzhen Restaurant and still be the young master of Longzhen Restaurant.

"That's right, I grew up listening to the legend of Mr. Shuijing, so I knew the status and position of the senior. But I didn't expect that Master Zhou Yu and you already knew my identity!"

Tang Sanjie thought he had hidden himself well, but he didn't expect that Master Luo Xi and Zhou Yu had already known his identity.

"After all, your status isn't too low. Your father has been searching for you since you disappeared, and the connections within the Guangming culinary world are very close, so it's easy to confirm your identity."

"Your father didn't ask us to send you back. Instead, he wanted us to help you resolve your psychological trauma. However, this kind of psychological trauma cannot be resolved just by wanting to."

Master Luo Yu shook his head. Psychological trauma is something that can only be understood by the person involved. Otherwise, no matter how hard outsiders try, it will be in vain.

"He actually cares about me!"

Looking at the scar on the back of his hand, Tang Sanjie found it a little funny.

"Perhaps there is indeed something wrong with your method, but your father doesn't completely ignore you."

Zhou Yu also had a daughter, and he knew how talented his daughter was in cooking. He never forced his daughter to practice cooking skills.

In this respect, he is completely different from Tang Sanjie's father, who is a high-pressure type of person.

Knowing that his son was talented, he began to put constant pressure on him. He considered the child's problems from an adult's perspective, so naturally there were many mistakes.

Children's ability to withstand stress is different from that of adults, so when Tang Sanjie was pushed to his limit, he could only force himself to practice, and in the end he stabbed himself.

Zhou Yu could feel the father's worry for his son from the message sent by Tang Sanjie's father, and this worry was not false.

Zhou Yu is just telling the truth now. Tang Sanjie's father does have big problems in education, and he will not make excuses for him, but he can't deny that he still cares about Tang Sanjie.

After all, not everyone is like Elder Guan, who uses his descendants as tools.

"Okay, let's end this topic here. All you need to know is that Lin Yu has a very high status in the Guangming cuisine world."

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming a little weird, Master Luo Xi also forcibly ended the topic. The others were not fools and knew that something bad must have happened between Tang Sanjie and his father.

So now they are quite tactful and don't say much.

Just like that, everyone returned to their own residences. As for Tang Sanjie, he was in deep thought. Now he at least knew that his father did not ignore him. Of course, this psychological trauma would not be eliminated so easily.

At night, everyone else had already rested, and Guan Qiulan listened to Elder Guan's instructions on what to do next.

Although Guan Qiulan showed no expression on her face, she was actually mocking him in her heart.

She knew very well what she needed to say, and it was naturally impossible for her to follow Elder Guan's instructions next. However, for Guan Qiulan, some of Elder Guan's words were still useful, that is, how to please Lin Yu.

These are indeed worth learning for her, but as for the final goal, that is not what Elder Guan had in mind.

The night passed quickly. In the morning, the people from Yangquan Restaurant went to the market as usual to pick out fresh ingredients. Lin Yu naturally went with them. He also planned to take a look at the morning market of this era.

"The ingredients are all very fresh, and the quality is slightly better than Shokugeki Sekai!"

Lin Yu looked at the ingredients in the market. Although the variety was not as rich as in the world of Food Wars!, the quality was better. After all, it was an imaginary world, and a world with special abilities and ingredients.

Even ordinary ingredients are slightly better than the ordinary ingredients in the world of Food Wars!

Just as Lin Yu was checking the ingredients, he suddenly heard a commotion in the market. Upon closer inspection, he saw a cobra running out.

This snake was bought by Zhou Meili, and it accidentally ran out, scaring everyone around it. At the same time, Liu Maoxing also appeared here.

Liu Maoxing was also shocked because he had never seen a cobra before.

"This little girl is really fierce. This cobra still has its fangs!"

Seeing Zhou Meili catch the cobra with her bare hands, Lin Yu was speechless. This era was an imaginary era, and Lin Yu didn't know whether the serum had been invented.

But if you think about it carefully, even if the serum is invented, it is unlikely to appear in China.

It is difficult for ordinary people to survive a bite from this kind of cobra as it is highly poisonous.

Just like in the original novel, after Zhou Meili caught the cobra, she also had an intersection with Liu Maoxing, and learned that Liu Maoxing was going to Yangquan Restaurant to study.

"Alas... aren't you the one riding that strange mount on the official road?"

After the purchase was completed, everyone planned to return to Yangquan Restaurant. Liu Maoxing also recognized Lin Yu. After all, Lin Yu was riding a motorcycle on the official road at that time, so he was recognized by him.

"Strange mount? What strange mount?"

Zhou Meili asked with some confusion.

"It's just a mount you haven't seen before."

Lin Yu just perfunctorily said something. Seeing that Lin Yu didn't want to say anything, the others naturally didn't dare to ask. In this way, the group returned to Yangquan Restaurant.

When we returned to Yangquan Restaurant, Guan Qiulan was already waiting there with a few people.

"Master Lin Yu, if you have anything to do next, please just tell us to do it!"

After seeing Lin Yu, Guan Qiulan quickly stood up and greeted him. Several people were very respectful to Lin Yu.

"Don't be so polite. I'll trouble you for the next few days!"

Lin Yu is not an arrogant person, so he does not put on airs. If others are polite, he should be polite too.

As for Liu Maoxing, he also handed the letter of introduction given to him by Admiral Li to Zhou Yu.

"The son of that fairy master Abei? Boy, even though you have a letter of introduction from Admiral Li, it's impossible for him to become your apprentice directly. If you want to become an apprentice, show us your culinary skills first!"

After putting down the letter in his hand, Zhou Yu said that although this was a letter of introduction from Admiral Li, it was just a letter of introduction.

Admiral Li’s status in the culinary world is indeed very high, but it is impossible for him to directly interfere in the internal affairs of their restaurant.

Therefore, as long as he does not admit it, Liu Maoxing will not be able to be the apprentice. Moreover, Tang Sanjie is still their apprentice now. If Liu Maoxing does not have the ability, he still cannot become an apprentice.

So now it depends on Liu Maoxing’s own performance, whether he can realize the differences in regions and change his cooking methods.

If Liu Maoxing can't even do this, then he is not qualified to be an apprentice of Yangquan Restaurant.

After all, there has always been only one apprentice in Yangquan Restaurant. This has been the rule since the establishment of Yangquan Restaurant.

This so-called apprentice was trained according to the standards of the Yangquan Restaurant's heir, which was completely different from other employees, so the conditions were naturally more demanding.

"Chef Abei from Juxialou, I've heard of her name too. She's a legendary chef!"

Even Guan Qiulan knew Master Abei. There was no way around it, Master Abei's name was indeed very famous in the Guangming culinary world.

After all, when Chef Abe was still alive, he was always fighting against the dark culinary world.

Even Chef Abe directly broke into the base camp of the dark cuisine world, and finally tied with Leopard Head Yakan, one of the Five Tigers, and came out of the dark cuisine world.

Being able to go to such a place and still come out smoothly, people in the Guangming culinary world can only admire Chef Abei.

Unfortunately, Master Abe met a rubbish apprentice and was eventually killed by this apprentice.

Unsurprisingly, Liu Maoxing failed the first time as no one reminded him. This was normal, after all, Liu Maoxing was only thirteen years old and no one had taught him cooking before.

Liu Maoxing taught himself many things, and he reached this point purely by relying on his own talent.

The reason why Liu Maoxing started to make rapid progress after entering Yangquan Restaurant was because he lacked guidance before. But now, with capable people teaching him, the speed of his improvement is naturally like riding a rocket.

In the original novel, if Master Abei had not died, the thirteen-year-old Liu Maoxing might have become a Lin chef or even a Long chef.

"I failed, but that's normal. After all, it's quite difficult to get an apprenticeship quota at Yangquan Restaurant."

Liu Maoxing's failure did not surprise Guan Qiulan and others.

Lin Yu no longer paid attention to it. Liu Maoxing would definitely join Yangquan Restaurant in the end anyway. The destiny depended on him, so he would definitely be able to solve any problems he encountered.

Lin Yu went out with Guan Qiulan to visit Flower City. Guan Qiulan herself didn't know what interesting places there were in Flower City, but the people she brought with her knew.

In order to leave a good impression on Lin Yu, Guan Qiulan made a lot of preparations and even put on makeup. After all, long-term anorexia has made her body unhealthy.

"Alright, that's enough for today!"

After walking around for a while, Lin Yu naturally realized that Guan Qiulan's body could not bear it anymore. If this continued, Guan Qiulan would probably faint.

Guan Qiulan's physical condition is somewhat similar to that of Nakiri Managagi. Of course, she is much better than Nakiri Managagi at the beginning.

After all, Nakiri Managi hasn't eaten for several years and has been relying on nutrient solution to survive.

Although Guan Qiulan also suffered from anorexia, it didn't last long, and she was still able to force herself to eat something. So although her body was very weak, she was not as thin as Nakiri Managi.

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Guan Qiulan also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she really couldn't bear it any longer.

In this way, Lin Yu returned to Yangquan Restaurant, and Guan Qiulan and others returned to their residences. When Lin Yu arrived at Yangquan Restaurant, Liu Maoxing also got a hint and successfully made dishes that satisfied Zhou Yu and others.

So he naturally became an apprentice at the Yangquan Restaurant. As for Tang Sanjie, seeing that Zhou Yu was willing to accept Liu Maoxing, he also knew that his days at the Yangquan Restaurant were almost over.

Chapter 123: The Eternal Spirit Sword Recognizes Its Master, Domineering Gourmet Cells

Tang Sanjie knew that he was actually a bit of a slacker in Yangquan Restaurant, at least that was what he showed in front of other people. He would practice basic skills by himself at night.

The biggest problem has never been solved. He dare not practice knife skills because the scars on the back of his hands have always been his psychological shadow. No matter how good a chef is in other aspects, he cannot do well if his knife skills are terrible.
