Chapter 1 The man closest to God

Sioux City is a very prosperous city from ancient times to the present. It has a mild climate, beautiful environment, and rich products. Qin's food is world-renowned, and Sioux City ranks among the best.

"There are still two dishes that have not been served at Yaoyue Hall. Please hurry up. Mr. Zhang is getting anxious. Today's guests are very important. You all should be smart." Hu Bin rushed to the kitchen in a hurry.

"I know, you can't rush the food. Big dishes take a lot of effort. Li Xuan looks at the time and temperature of the steamer." Chen Yong replied calmly.

"Okay, Master."

"Oh, Master Chen, I'm in a hurry. Just take it easy, I'll wait."

Looking at the mainstay of the hotel's kitchen, Hu Bin couldn't say a harsh word. Who makes it difficult to hire a star chef? The boss spent a lot of money to hire this person. Looking at the entire second-level star chef in Sioux City, the same is true.

Very rare.

"Zhou Mochen, go check the time and temperature of the steamer. Hurry up, the guests are waiting." Li Xuan patted Zhou Mochen and said.

The knife in his hand paused, but fortunately he had good knife skills and good mental quality. If it were someone else, the knife would have been cut in his hand. Zhou Mochen was used to it, and there was no expression on his face, so he said "hmm".

“Stewed gourd!”

It was obvious that Li Xuan did it on purpose. As the most proud disciple of the Star Chef, he was naturally full of arrogance in the back kitchen. He just happened to encounter a reticent Zhou Mochen who habitually bullied him. Such dangerous actions were something Li Xuan often did.

It stands to reason that Zhou Mochen has a very high talent for cooking. He can copy 70 or 80 ordinary dishes just by looking at the process. The difference is also in the heat and seasoning. The difficulty in cooking lies in these two items. Such a person has a master.

You can learn a lot from just a few tips, but unfortunately he is a reserved person. He doesn't like to follow others, and he doesn't like to express himself. People in the kitchen only know that he has good knife skills, and he has never been in charge of a spoon in the kitchen.

Two years of working as a cook, one year of chopping, and another year of doing odd jobs. I secretly learned a lot of skills with my talent, and my knife skills were so good that even Chen Yong was amazed. He just had such a bad temper.

People like him, which is why Li Xuan always targets him.

Others have a good impression of Zhou Mochen. He works hard without complaining and doesn't say much. As long as there is no conflict of interest, no one will hate him. He is considered a transparent person in the kitchen.

In Sioux City in June, the night temperature was extremely comfortable. In a small courtyard in the suburbs, there was a young man holding a spoon with one hand and a pot with the other. His hands were shaking slightly in conjunction. The sand in the iron pot rose and fell rhythmically. Zhou Mochen got off work

Later, daily training started.

Zhou Mochen, 24 years old, single, 182cm tall and 195cm tall. He used to be popular among female classmates in school because of his handsome appearance, but now he is really fat and ruins everything. He is a proper foodie, for foodies.

, Sioux City is a paradise. After graduating from college, he entered a hotel kitchen as an apprentice under the different eyes of others.

The life of a chef made him aware of the dangers of society, and he slowly put away his arrogance and claws, and learned to be forbearing. Only by relying on forbearance, he was able to get close to Chen Yong step by step and secretly learn the craft. It's not that he never thought of showing off.

He has a really unlovable temperament because of his talent. He becomes lazy when he gets fat, and along with a slight social fear, he doesn't have much confidence to make changes.

Big beads of sweat flowed down Zhou Mochen's serious face. It seemed that this kind of exercise had been going on for a long time.

At this time, a drop of water stopped in mid-air, and Zhou Mochen's movements also condensed. The entire space-time stillness seemed very strange, ripples spread out from mid-air, and a beam of light shot out from the center of the ripples and entered Zhou Mochen's body.

, the ban is lifted instantly!

An unconscious message made Zhou Mochen a little distracted, and a bead appeared in his body!

Star Bead. The name of this bead. The previous owner, Xiaoyao Xianjun, was known as the God of Cookery. The word "God of Cookery" has highlighted his realm of food, especially after he got the Star Bead by chance. This time, it was to satisfy his own needs.

Desperately wanting to taste the delicacies from hell, they were tricked by several demon kings in the demon world and forced to die together. The Star Bead was also affected by the war and entered the space-time rift, and finally took advantage of Zhou Mochen.

Star Bead! The Hunyuan artifact forms its own space, guided by the power of the stars, and its spiritual energy is endless! The artifact spirit began to repair itself after transmitting the message to Zhou Mochen.

"Protagonist template!" After a while, Zhou Mochen came back to his senses, his face full of surprise!

A thought flashed through Zhou Mochen's mind as he entered the Star Bead. A large area was covered in gray. The original power of the Star Bead was consumed too much, so he sealed most of the area, leaving only the central part.

Opening the door of an antique courtyard, a fresh smell is revealed in the courtyard. White walls, black tiles, gray rockeries, red columns, green trees, clear water, and green bamboos form an elegant,

The bright and quiet picture makes people feel happy and noble in their environment.

Walking into the two-story building in front of me, my heart slowly calmed down. I walked around upstairs and downstairs. There was a kitchen, a study room, a tea room, etc. There was a wine shop next to the small building for making wine.

The underground is a wine cellar. There is also a warehouse next door, which stores a lot of things, including pickled vegetables, sauces, unknown seeds, etc. They are all food-related things.

On the left side of the small courtyard are acres of cultivated land. There are many shelves built on some of the land, but nothing is planted.

Next to the small courtyard on the right is a pool of spring water. The handful of green water in the center of the small spring pool exudes rich spiritual energy. It seems that there is no overflow in the lotus-shaped container. It happens that a drop overflows at this time, and it keeps pouring out.

The spring water is transported out together. The spring water flows along a stream into the lake in the distance. Due to the terrain problem, a small waterfall of five or six meters high is formed at the confluence.

The area of ​​the lake is really not small, and the actual size cannot be seen due to the seal connected to the boundary. A big fish is not willing to accept the calmness in the space, and jumps out of the water, as if to remind him that there are still people alive in the water.

There are luxuriant water plants nearby, and there are clusters of reeds. I think the structure of this lake should be quite interesting. It is suitable for the growth of shrimps and crabs, and for the breeding of fish, with depth and shallowness. Coupled with the irrigation of spring water, the lake

The quality of the ingredients here is quite high.

After a leisurely walk, I returned to the small courtyard, opened the door and walked straight to the study on the second floor. In the center of the room, on a wooden desk with clear texture, lay quietly the four treasures of the study. The desk was surrounded by bookshelves.

There were a lot of books. In addition to books, there were also a lot of jade slips. The jade slips had never been used before. Zhou Mochen stared at the jade slips for a long time without seeing the reason. Sure enough, the novels were all lies, and they also had mental powers.

If you probe into it, you will know its skills. An ordinary person has the mental power of a ghost. It cannot be crushed even if it is squeezed, and it is useless to drop blood. A martial arts dream soldier!

The two bookshelves on the right are full of books on cooking. Fortunately, one of them can still read the same writing as the Qin Dynasty. There are quaint and solitary books, and there are also newer books with Xinhua Publishing House 1986 printed on them.

Print.

Open one of the food culture books. It records the food heritage of this country.

China is a great country with a history of more than 5,000 years. It is also the food god’s favorite country. Its food is not only three meals a day, but also cultural wisdom passed down orally for thousands of years.

Chinese cuisine is just a concept. If we make a distinction based on the typical tastes of different regions, it would be salty in the north, sour in the east, slightly sweet in the south, and spicy to heart-breaking in the middle and west. The dishes from these regions constitute the eight major Chinese cuisines.

In addition to these, there are also local cuisine characteristics from other regions, which are not only influenced by the main cuisine but also integrated with the folk traditions of the region.

There are hundreds of cooking techniques alone, which shocked Zhou Mochen. In comparison, Qin Guo is just a younger brother.

I couldn't wait to pick up a book about the basics of knife skills and read it. Just after reading two lines, an elegant middle-aged man appeared in my mind, holding a knife in his hand, and the things under the knife were constantly changing, from vegetables to fruits.

When you go to poultry and livestock, you can believe it when a piece of tofu finally appears and it is cut into shreds. Put the cut tofu into water, fiddle with it with a toothpick, and the shredded tofu will appear in front of you.

Zhou Mochen boasts that his sword skills are good but he has to be ashamed of himself. This is not on the same level as him.

Then the scene changed to deboning, from fish to chickens, ducks and geese. The last cow was the most shocking. The cow was very artistic, and there was no trace of frustration in the silky feeling. This craftsmanship,

Should be rewarded.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and everything disappeared. He looked at Zhou Mochen calmly and said something

"Study well!"

Zhou Mochen was shocked, God of Cookery?

"Master." Zhou Mochen immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully. No one answered for a while, and in a daze he saw an elegant man disappearing with a smile.

It turns out that the God of Cookery has already left a legacy in books, but before it could be spread, people disappeared. This was really an advantage.

"Have I become the man closest to God?" Zhou Mochen was stunned for a long time. Looking at the thousands of books on the bookshelf, Zhou Mochen was very happy, and he won a big prize, the kind that was struck by lightning.

Next to the study is the tea room. The 100-square-meter tea room is very artistically decorated, and the textures shown in the wooden furniture highlight its extraordinary quality. There are tea sets and tea leaves for both young and old. Zhou Mochen’s hometown produces famous tea, and he has been familiar with tea since he was a child.

12. Drinking tea is a living habit of the locals.

There is a warehouse in the courtyard, and the wine cellar is in the basement. It is quite large. White wine, red wine, rice wine, fruit wine, etc. are all distributed. The grade distribution of wine is also very obvious. The year of ordinary grade, spiritual grade, and fairy wine are also marked.

It's very clear. Zhou Mochen is not greedy for wine, but he can still drink one or two. Zhou Mochen's hometown is known as Qixian County, the best county in the world. It is said that a sparrow in Qi County can drink three liang, let alone a person.

The kitchen of the God of Cookery is a bit exaggerated. As soon as you enter, you will be shocked by the dazzling shelves of medicinal herbs and spices on the wall. Although they are all placed in small drawers, there is no peculiar smell in the room. Obviously, this place is particularly popular with the God of Cookery.

Processed, otherwise so many medicinal materials and spices would have lost their smell.

There is a very modern integrated stove and a simple earthen stove on each side. Wood of various colors is placed next to the earthen stove. There are ovens, fireplaces, and all kinds of tableware and kitchen utensils. The most eye-catching ones are the two

The box of knives was packed with various models. It gave Zhou Mochen the urge to show off his knife skills.

Next to the kitchen is a small restaurant, and it seems that the god of food is someone who enjoys himself. Of course, all of this is now cheaper for Zhou Mochen.

After finding some vegetable seeds in the warehouse, they were no different from the vegetables in the Qin State, so Zhou Mochen was relieved to raise seedlings. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find a box that could be used to raise seedlings, so he took out Xingchenzhu and found a few at home.

The foam box was used at first. Zhou Mochen never considered whether the artifact did not require seedlings to grow vegetables, or whether it was inside the artifact with rich spiritual energy.

The box was filled with soil, and after the seeds were planted, the spring water was diluted with a drop of star marrow liquid and sprayed in the seedling box. Zhou Mochen also tasted a drop, but because he didn't know what the effect was, he didn't dare to drink more. The taste was good and a bit sweet.

The nursery boxes are placed next to the fields, so you can save some energy when planting vegetables. There are no farm tools in the warehouse, so you can only buy them tomorrow. Farm tools and fishing gear are needed. If you don’t use the resources of such a large lake to make money,

After counting the money, Zhou Mochen felt sorry for his good life.

It's not that I haven't thought about selling some things in the Star Bead to make the first pot of gold, but who knows if those furniture, tea sets, etc. have been cast by the God of Cookery? If so, I will lose a lot of money if I sell them.

There are also those teas that you can tell as soon as you smell them are not ordinary ones. These teas are not famous and have no connections. They can sell them at a high price and become ghosts.

Fortunately, there is still a lake of aquatic products that can be used. Zhou Mochen's dream of a private restaurant can be realized smoothly. He doesn't expect too much from money, just enough, and he doesn't spend much money. After working for two years, he has a lot of money in his bank card.

It cost more than 100,000. Fortunately, the hotel included meals and a part of the housing subsidy. Otherwise, I might not have been able to save money in this city.

This is also due to the fact that Zhou Mochen is not in love. The formula that falling in love means being pauper applies to most young people from ordinary families.

Thinking about the promising future, Zhou Mochen's mental state was surprisingly good, and the tool man who had been grinding skills could finally retire with honor.

He took out the Star Bead with a look of reluctance, like a child who just got a new toy and was about to go to sleep before playing for a while, unwillingly.

"Hey, why is my body so sticky?" Zhou Mochen discovered the condition of his body as soon as he came out. He was definitely sweating due to daily training and working in the Star Bead for a long time. It was just heavier than usual.

I couldn't wait to go to the bathroom with my pajamas. After taking a shower, Zhou Mochen felt like he had rubbed two pounds of mud off. He felt relaxed all over. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the skin on his body was also better. It was just not that obvious. Zhou Mochen only thought it was caused by exercise.

Yes. After all, sweating detoxifies.

Zhou Mochen slept extremely comfortably that night. In his sleep, Zhou Mochen did not notice that a suction force in his body was pulling the power of Zhou Tian's stars, slowly converging into the star bead. As the host of the star bead, Zhou Mochen's body

It is also nourished and repaired by the gathering of star power.
