Chapter 179: Food Hunter
The witch with a paralyzed face in front of him was supporting an old woman and walked slowly.
The old woman also had a witch suit, her gray hair was neatly combed. Although she needed to use wooden sticks and support to walk, her steps always gave people a strange sense of calmness.
Xia Yu, an old man in his eighties or nineties, was solemn.
She could barely see things, and looked closely for more than ten seconds, recognized Ryoko Lina, and then looked at Xia Yu again.
"Ryoko, is this the new training fellow?" The old witch's voice was very soft.
"Yes, Chiyo-grandfather." Ryoko Lina said respectfully, "Minister Kamihara asked me to bring him over for a six-day and five-night training."
The old woman slowly knelt on the tatami, with a wooden lacquer table in front of her.
"You know the training rules of Chiyo Shrine, Ryoko." The old woman said, looking at Xia Yu with her turbid eyes for a few seconds. "Young man, go and make a dish that satisfies me, and then, you are the formal trainer of the shrine."
"Go out with me."
Ryoko Lina whispered to pull Xia Yu away from the main hall.
Outside the door, the group of people in front surrounded him. The young man with a cockscomb laughed and patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and said, "Young man, use your trump card killing move. If you can't satisfy Chiyo's mother-in-law, you are not qualified to conduct training in Chiyo Shrine. You must leave immediately."
The words are filled with gloating.
"Get out of the way—"
Liangzi Lina said coldly, and a group of people watched her take Xia Yu away.
The shrine complex is covered with hills. Along the stone steps upwards, Ryoko Lina pushed open a room, and a brand new, modern professional kitchen was displayed in Xia Yu's vision.
"Just make 'flame tornado shark fin intestine'!" Ryoko Lina urged him, "What materials do you want, give me the list!"
"etc!"
Xia Yu has always been confused and has been full of doubts since he came to this shrine.
"I said Miss Ryoko, before I cook, you have to explain it to me. Will it be beneficial to me for six days and five nights of training here?" Xia Yu was really puzzled.
Isn’t it just the environment of deep mountains and old forests, plus an old shrine?
A chef is not a practitioner, and it is not said that meditation can improve his cooking skills by cultivating the mind. He must practice continuously.
Ryoko Lina was raising words and then said slowly after a while:
"Every special chef in Neon native comes from Chiyo Shrine, no exception."
"I have also studied here, and the same is true for Aoki and Minister. Here, it can be said to be a special starting platform. Only by passing the training here can you be qualified to go to Neon Headquarters to participate in the special assessment."
Xia Yu was stunned and listened carefully.
"You have always been puzzled, where did those special fantasy ingredients come from?" Liangzi Lina asked, and immediately hit Xia Yu's pulse.
"In fact, the special chef has another unknown title-"
Ryoko Lina met Xia Yu's eyes and said word by word: "Beauty, food, hunting, people!"
"Chione Shrine is a place for a group of quasi-hunters to learn. If they don't know how to hunt, they don't have the ability to obtain special ingredients, then they can't be called real special chefs."
Xia Yu opened his mouth wide.
Food hunter?
Hello!
His head instantly became muddy, and Xia Yu said silently for a while: "Miss Liangzi, don't tell me that those fantasy ingredients were returned from the chef's hunting in another world."
"Who told you this? Minister? Aoki?" Ryoko Lina raised her eyebrows, showing her evil aura, and she was angry, "I mislead my children!"
"The world is the world, it's what you see!" Liangzi Lina said solemnly, "Aoki told me that you have encountered dirty things, but don't think that there is a world of demons rampant under the light world!"
"That's wrong!"
"Humanity, no matter when, is the master of the world!" said Ryoko Lina. "In this information generation, the kind of things that should not exist have long been extremely rare. Even a special chef will never encounter them several times in his life."
Xia Yu opened his mouth and said, "Where did that super fantasy ingredients come from?"
"It's just hunting!"
"For example, the 'land shark back wings' used by Lancelot, the back wings were indeed intercepted from the land shark. In other words, the land shark is real and was first discovered by food hunters in the ice..."
Xia Yu's eyebrows and eyes were chaotic when he heard this.
Sure enough, can't the animals and plants of this world be guessed by common sense?
"However, the chef needs to find and capture the clues of fantasy ingredients themselves." Ryoko Lina said, "The searching around the world is too low. The fastest shortcut to hunting ingredients is to communicate with the indescribable existence."
“Food is the medium of communication.”
"..." Xia Yu was a little speechless. In this case, things would have returned to the starting point. Hunting special ingredients will eventually be linked to surreal things.
"I also used the Chiyo Shrine to get the first special ingredients in my life. I will be very rare and this training. Once I pass the qualification, you will never be able to get any information through the shrine."
After Ryoko Lina finished speaking, she handed over paper and pen.
Xia Yu wrote a dry piece of material used in "Flame Tornado Shark Fin Insect", and then stood in the kitchen of the shrine to imagine.
It was not difficult for him to create his own recipe and make another luminous dish.
Can my own cooking satisfy that mother-in-law?
If he had been indifferent before, then after listening to Ryoko Lina's explanation, Xia Yu immediately took the qualification of this "cultivator" in his heart.
He is quite interested in the world of "food hunter", but it seems that only the super chef is qualified to have this title. So, it is also very good to squeeze into the "cultivator" circle with cooking and communicate with other quasi-extra chefs.
Soon, Ryoko Lina returned and Xia Yu started cooking.
...
Nearly two hours later, at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Xia Yu and Liangzi Lina came from the stairs on the mountain. The group of trainees, about a dozen people, gathered in the small courtyard in front of the hall, as if they were having some kind of exchange meeting.
A whistle.
The young man with a cockscomb waved his hand, "Hey, boy, where is your cooking? Show us!"
Xia Yu nodded to Ryoko Lina, and she walked towards the trainee with a food box, while Xia Yu walked into the main hall of the shrine with her closed food box alone.
"Ryoko, who is that boy? Use your guidance like this?" the young man from Jimcomb shouted.
This group of trainees are all quasi-super-level chefs, either with extremely high social status or with a certain genius.
Just shook his head, Ryoko Lina put the food box on the stone table and glanced at the group of people, "You will know if you taste his cooking."
"What!"
Very dissatisfied with Ryoko Lina's pretending mystery, the young man in the cockscomb jumped off the stone railing and reached out to lift the lid of the food box.
Wow—
The dazzling flash suddenly shone on the shrine courtyard.
At the same time, there is a similar light inside the main hall of the shrine, which will not dissipate for a long time.
