Chapter 313: Chapter 256: Awe-inspiring Culinary Skills and a Heaven-defying ID

This man, many call him Chef.

For... he truly was a Chef.

Moreover, though not reaching the ceiling of culinary art, he was nonetheless specially employed by the Country as a chef, his capabilities beyond doubt.

At the same time, he was extremely good at teaching others the art of cooking.

Not just apprentices in this field, even kitchen novices with barely any foundation, the sort that would drive anyone else to curse out loud, he could teach with patience and serenity.

On this account alone he was worthy of respect, and most of the famous chefs today were personally taught by him.

Therefore, the Chef’s status was not far behind those at the ceiling level.

And such a Chef received a commission from his superiors, which was to teach someone named Xiao Yi... just some basic cooking skills.

Furthermore, this commission came from the highest level, which left the Chef both surprised and somewhat honored, as a commission from the highest level signified great importance and also recognition of one’s own abilities.

Sure enough, the commission’s reward was extraordinarily generous, so much so that it was almost bewitching.

Moreover, those above had specifically instructed him—since the Chef paid little attention to matters outside of cooking and was unclear about the kind of person Xiao Yi was—that he should be informed Xiao Yi was an individual of extraordinary import, with the potential to shake the fate of the Country and save its future!

Thus, if possible, even if provoked, please abstain from attacking Xiao Yi.

Upon hearing this, the Chef himself was quite astonished; he hadn’t expected the Country to trust him so much as to agree to let him meet such an important person!

So, he immediately expressed with grave earnestness that he would surely accomplish the mission!

To the Chef, even if it meant going to the battlefield, he would follow the troops without hesitation as a cook, so teaching someone to cook was nothing challenging, especially since he was a professional in this area!

However, one thing puzzled the Chef, which was that upon his agreement, those people showed some strange expressions, twisted even.

...

"So the great man is in here? Then..." The Chef arrived in front of a kitchen, feeling somewhat nervous.

After all, he was about to meet such an important person, and even an experienced Chef like himself could hardly avoid feeling tense; he couldn’t help but start wondering... what kind of person was Xiao Yi? Would he be dangerous and intimidating?

Various preconceptions flashed through his mind as the Chef, with trepidation, pushed open the door.

Then, he saw a refined-looking young man, adorned with an apron.

"Oh, you’ve finally arrived." Xiao Yi smiled at the newcomer, "So you’re the one teaching me to cook? I leave it in your hands from here."

"Oh... oh," The Chef, seeing the person he was to teach was just a kindly young man, instantly relaxed.

Then, the Chef, having calmed his emotions, brought out his seasoned experience, knowing that the biggest issue for beginners in the kitchen is their propensity to get agitated and nervous; so he intended to display a friendly and approachable demeanor, to draw closer to Xiao Yi, to prevent the latter from getting nervous later on.

"You... you’re Mr. Xiao Yi, right?" The Chef approached, smiling, "Hello, from here on out, you’ll learn some cooking skills, and of course, you can affectionately call me ’Master’."

A friendly title is the safest way to shorten the distance between people.

"I understand," Xiao Yi promptly responded, "Master."

"Mhm, then you are my apprentice. Alright, apprentice, let’s not waste words, let’s get hands-on. First, I’ll teach you how to hold a knife, this is the most vital foundation you need to learn. Apprentice, take the knife."

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yi kicked the knife rack, sending a sharp kitchen knife spinning through the air, then landing steadily in Xiao Yi’s hand.

"...Ah?" At the start, this sight had the Chef breaking out in a cold sweat, "Don’t... don’t don’t, don’t play with the knife like that, brother... it’s very dangerous, let’s take it slow, slow is fine..."

"...Oh," Xiao Yi placed the knife on the chopping board and said to the Chef, "By the way, Master, actually, before you arrived, I had already cooked two pots of food, planning to have you taste my cooking first."

"...Oh?" The Chef couldn’t help but be surprised, "So you have a foundation in cooking?"

"Somewhat, to an extent," Xiao Yi said.

This was unexpected for the Chef, but since the other party had a foundation in cooking, his job would be easier, and it was also a good opportunity to assess Xiao Yi’s actual level.

"Where’s the food you made then? Let me have a taste."

"It’s over there," Xiao Yi pointed to the stove.

The Chef looked towards the stove and saw two pots.

One was a soup pot, simmering something on low heat, and the other was a frying pan that was empty, suggesting Xiao Yi had made a pot of soup.

The Chef walked over, lifted the lid of the soup pot, and was immediately taken aback!

"This, this is!"

Inside was a milky white soup, along with several dark fish shadows in the broth.

The Chef couldn’t help but exclaim, "Such a pure white fish soup! Not commonly seen!!!"

Creating such pure white fish soup was not something ordinary people could do; the Chef thought to himself... could it be that Xiao Yi is actually an expert? If so, there isn’t much I could teach him.
