That's right, it was the Nine Azure Divine Dragon Bing Yun Yin. This was also one of the seven famous dishes after Nian Bing became famous.
Looking at the misty Nine Azure Divine Dragon Bing Yun Yin in front of them, everyone present had a feeling of not being able to eat it. After all, this could no longer be described as a dish, it was clearly a piece of art! A precious piece of art. Nian Bing used a total of fifteen minutes to finish carving this dish. Looking at the lingering icy mist and the lifelike nine azure dragons, no one actually made the first move.
Nian Bing's gaze fell on Luo Rou. "Miss Wise Girl, I think that now you should know what I do. That's right, my true profession is actually a chef. Miss Xuejing, the reason why I chose to enter either the Great Accomplishment Pavilion or the Clear Wind Study was to discuss cooking with the head chef. There was no other purpose. I think that the misunderstanding between us can be resolved here. This dish can already prove a lot. Perhaps you are confused. As a magician, why would I learn to cook? I can clearly tell you that in my heart, a chef is definitely a noble profession that can be compared to a magician. With my own cooking skills, I can satisfy countless people's desire to eat. Cooking is an art, and carrying it forward is my goal. As for magic, it is only a skill that assists in cooking. I haven't left my master for long. For me, the long road to pursuing cooking is still very long. Alright, that's all I have to say. Everyone, take your time to taste it. If the icy mist dissipates, this dish will also lose its original taste. I have already explained everything that needs to be explained. Goodbye everyone. Ling Er, you can stay. I will go back first. " After putting away her things and putting the cloth bag into her bosom, Nian Bing slightly nodded to everyone and turned to leave. No one stopped her. Everyone's mind was still on the dish in front of them. Nian Bing's voice kept echoing in their minds.
Ming Yuan, who was also a chef, was the first to react. He took a pair of chopsticks from the side and handed them to Xue Ji and the three girls. He was the first to move. The chopsticks moved forward and placed a piece of cucumber in front of him. As soon as the chopsticks touched the cucumber, the cucumber piece naturally separated from the "azure dragon". There was no feeling of connection at all.
Seeing Ming Yuan move, the others followed suit. They put a few pieces of cucumber into their mouths. The paper-thin cucumber melted in their mouths, turning into a sweet liquid that flowed into their stomachs. It was an indescribable taste. All thirty-six million pores in their bodies seemed to open up at this moment. The cold air connected with the heavens and the earth. The refreshing feeling made them feel as if they were floating in the air. Not only did the heat in their bodies disappear, even their minds recovered and they woke up in the sweetness.
Luo Rou, Long Ling, and Xuejing's eyes flashed. This kind of wonderful taste was what girls loved the most. Without stopping, the chopsticks flew through the icy mist. After a while, the Nine Azure Divine Dragon had completely entered the stomachs of the five people before the icy mist disappeared. Cool, sweet, refreshing, and refreshing. The refreshing feeling of the whole body was so wonderful. What was even more ingenious was that the Clear Wind Restaurant focused on simplicity and elegance. This dish with simple ingredients perfectly matched the characteristics of the restaurant.
Ming Yuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, closed his eyes, and murmured, "The fragrance of the cucumber is completely released in the cold. Coupled with the sweetness of the sugarcane, it's refreshing and transparent. What a magical dish."
Xue Ji looked at Ming Yuan and said, "Little Ming, if you were to cook this dish, would you be able to achieve this kind of effect?"
Ming Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Xue Ji. He shook his head and said, "Definitely not. The key to this dish lies in two aspects. One is knife skills, and the other is magic. It's the cold air emitted by magic that perfectly stimulated the fragrance of the cucumber. This is something that I definitely can't do. If I were to use ice to suppress it, the taste would be far worse. Moreover, who could make the ice powder formed by the sugarcane? Using magic in the kitchen, I'm afraid that only his master could think of it. What a good magic chef! It seems that the world of cooking is going to be in an uproar again. In the near future, he will definitely become a titan in the world of cooking. It seems that there is no end to cooking. There are too many things that I need to learn. "
Xuejing's eyes flashed with a strange light. She murmured, "I really didn't expect him to be a chef. He actually came to the Cool Breeze Restaurant to exchange pointers. He can make cucumbers, a low-cost vegetable, so delicious. If he's willing to help us, I'm afraid that our Cool Breeze Restaurant will be rich. Father, let's invite him back to help Uncle Ming, okay? "
When Xue Ji heard his daughter's words, he was immediately moved. He turned his head to look at Ming Yuan. Ming Yuan sighed and said, "Big Brother, if he's really willing to come, I can give up my position as the head chef. Although he's young, he's still the one who's reached the top. However, you've already heard what he said earlier. He has great ambitions and will definitely not settle for a small corner. I'm afraid that he won't agree to stay. "
Xue Ji sighed and said, "When I first met him, I could tell that he was different from the rest. However, I never thought that his excellence would be in cooking. No matter what, I have to try my best. As the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate. If he's really unwilling to stay, at least I, Xue Ji, will make friends with him. Oh, right, little brother Ming, who's his master? "
Ming Yuan's eyes shone with respect and said, "Big Brother, you should have heard of the Five Gods of Cooking, right?"
Xue Ji nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of them. In my early years, I've studied them. Unfortunately, the Five Gods of Cooking seem to have gone into seclusion. The Five Gods of Cooking you're referring to should be the Ghost, Lie, Tuo, Ling, and Miao. "
Ming Yuan said, "Yes, it's them. The Miao God of Cooking is my master. Although they're listed as the Five Gods of Cooking, there's still a gap between them. That young man just now is the head of the Five Gods of Cooking, the successor of the Ghost Chef. In the beginning, it was Senior Ghost Chef's help that allowed my master to achieve what he has. My master has always regarded the Ghost Chef as his benefactor. At the same time, he's also an existence similar to my master. Although my master is much older than Senior Ghost Chef, every time he mentions Senior Ghost Chef, he's extremely respectful. It's a pity that Senior Ghost Chef left the cooking world for some reason and there's been no news of him since then. I really didn't expect that his disciple would be born. Compared to Senior Ghost Chef, perhaps he's still lacking, but he has more magic. I believe that after a few years of experience, it won't be difficult for him to reach the peak of Senior Ghost Chef's achievements. He might even surpass him. "
Xue Ji's eyes revealed an extremely shocked expression, "Ghost Chef, he's actually the Ghost Chef's disciple. Sigh, I'm so foolish. I didn't know how to cherish such a talent. If my peers knew that the Ghost Chef's disciple was chopping wood in our Breeze Restaurant, I wonder how they'd laugh at me. Jing 'er, go prepare a generous gift. We'll go to the Magician's Guild to apologize. "
Xuejing surprisingly didn't lose her temper. She nodded lightly and walked towards the back of the hall.
Luo Rou and Long Ling looked at each other, and said to Xue Ji, "Uncle Xue, we'll be leaving first. He's actually a chef. This is beyond my expectations. I've always prided myself on my intelligence, but I've lost to him twice in a row. It seems that this title of 'wise woman' should be revoked. Uncle, please say goodbye to Silence. Goodbye, uncle. "Luo Rou's feelings were more complicated than Xuejing's. Nian Bing had already used his actions to prove everything to her. She had lost the bet, but Luo Rou didn't have the slightest regret. She accepted her loss wholeheartedly. It was time to fulfill the promise.
Nian Bing walked on the streets of Ice Snow City. Ever since he left the Peach Blossom Forest, this was the first time he put all his effort into making a dish. He was in a very good mood, not only because he solved the problem with Xuejing and Luo Rou, but also because he realized that after his knowledge of magic improved, it actually helped his culinary skills. When he was making the Nine Azure Dragons Bing Yun Invisibility, his magic had already reached the realm of invisibility. Although it was only the lowest level of ice magic, he was already very satisfied with himself to be able to achieve this level. Other than the fact that he still couldn't compare to his master in terms of heat control, he had already taken another step forward in the fusion of magic and culinary skills. At his level of culinary skills, he didn't need to practice repeatedly to improve. What he needed now was an opportunity, an opportunity that could bring him enlightenment.
As he was walking, the sound of wheels behind him suddenly rang out. Nian Bing subconsciously moved to the side of the road, only to find that the carriage he had been in before had stopped beside him. Luo Rou leaned out of the carriage and said in a strange voice, "Chef, get on. I'll send you back. "
Nian Bing smiled faintly. He didn't refuse and got on the carriage. Long Ling was sitting at the innermost part of the carriage. She lowered her head and didn't look at him.
"I'll have to trouble you again, Miss Wise Girl," Nian Bing said politely.
Luo Rou said unhappily, "Are you mocking me? Don't worry, a loss is a loss. I'll fulfill the promise. You can tell me your conditions now. "
Nian Bing was stunned and said, "I never thought of asking you to agree to any conditions. It was just a joke, why take it so seriously?"
Luo Rou snorted and said, "If you agree to bet, you have to accept your loss. Since I've already lost, I naturally have to fulfill my promise. Who told you it was a joke? Although I'm a woman, I won't back down."
Nian Bing smiled and shook his head, "No need, I really don't have anything to ask of you."
Luo Rou's eyes revealed a strange light and said provocatively, "Didn't you ask me what would happen if you asked me to marry you? You can ask for that. "
Nian Bing was shocked and said with a smile, "No, I don't want to be chased by a group of your followers. Besides, don't you already have a fiancé? "
Luo Rou said, "You don't dare? So what if I have a fiancé? I'm not married. You can pursue me. As long as you state your conditions, I'll naturally give you a chance. "
Nian Bing was stunned. He saw that Luo Rou seemed to be serious. He stretched his arm in front of Luo Rou and said, "Pinch me and see if I'm dreaming. Miss Wise Girl actually took the initiative to ask me to pursue you. It's really hard to believe. " Luo Rou laughed and pinched Nian Bing's arm. Nian Bing felt pain and quickly retracted his arm. He smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to use so much strength."
Luo Rou snorted and said, "Who asked you to hide so deeply that even I was fooled. This is still considered light. I can't wait to kill you. Does it feel good to win against me?"
Nian Bing's heart trembled slightly. He nodded and said with a smile, "I have to admit, it does feel very good. However, I don't mean to be proud of it."
Luo Rou stared at him and said, "You can state your conditions now. Don't tell me, I'm not attractive to you at all?"
Looking at Luo Rou's clear blue eyes, Nian Bing suddenly understood many things. Luo Rou didn't like him, but wanted to fight with him on another stage. If he proposed the conditions to pursue her or the conditions to marry her, he was afraid that trouble would come one after another. What a wise girl, she was indeed not simple. Her desire to win was even greater than a man's. However, since he understood this point, how could he be fooled? "Miss Wise Girl, you've already fulfilled your conditions."
Luo Rou was stunned, but she quickly understood. She stared at Nian Bing and said, "You're so treacherous." Wasn't the pinch Nian Bing made earlier a condition?
Nian Bing put on an innocent look and said, "I'm treacherous? I won, but I didn't make things difficult for you. You still say that I'm treacherous. I think it's better for me to get off. "
Luo Rou finally couldn't keep her calm and said angrily, "Sit down and don't move. Am I worthy of you being so defensive? Am I a scourge or a beast? "
Nian Bing smiled and didn't say anything. He sat there and didn't say anything. Luo Rou was facing this handsome man who didn't move by force or persuasion. Even if she was full of wisdom, she couldn't use it.
Along the way, the three of them didn't speak. The carriage steadily stopped at the entrance of the Magician's Guild. Nian Bing was the first to get off the carriage. She helped Long Ling who had been following her for a long time to land steadily. She said to Wise Girl in the carriage, "Thank you Miss for sending me off. We'll meet again if fate wills it."
Luo Rou fiercely said, "Nian Bing, remember this. I'm not done with you. There will be a day when we will meet again. Let's go. "
The carriage sped away. Nian Bing helplessly shook her head, "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. I really can't understand it! It seems like I don't have any enmity with her. Why is she always making things difficult for me? "
Long Ling finally opened her mouth, "Rou 'er has been very smart since she was young. No matter what it is, as long as she wants to learn it, she will learn it in the shortest amount of time. From young to now, no matter if it's a man or a woman, no one can beat her. She is very competitive. You've made her eat defeat several times in a row. Her competitive heart and curiosity towards you will naturally make her value you more. You simply can't get rid of her.
Nian Bing didn't care and said, "Then make things difficult for her. I don't care about these things." In any case, after she finished learning the magic knowledge here, she would leave. Maybe she wouldn't have the chance to see Luo Rou again in the future. These things were no longer important. "Ling 'er, let's go in. I still have to go back to the library to study. "
"Wait a minute." Long Ling called out to Nian Bing who was about to leave. Her eyes showed hesitation.
Nian Bing asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else? "
Long Ling bit her lower lip and said, "Nian Bing, is this true? Is your main profession really a chef and not a magician? "
Nian Bing smiled. He understood what Long Ling was worried about. He said softly, "Ling 'er, listen to me. Yes, a chef is my main profession, but at the same time, a magician is also my main profession. There was an inseparable relationship between the two. Although my culinary skills couldn't be said to be the best in the continent, it was still top-notch. However, my magic was still far from being the best. Thus, to me, culinary skills only required instant comprehension, while magic was something that I needed to learn more. You can rest assured, since I've joined the union, and since I promised you before to help the union, I will definitely fulfill my promise. I am a man. "
Hearing Nian Bing's words, Long Ling finally let out a sigh of relief. She took the initiative to grab Nian Bing's big hand and said emotionally, "Thank you, Nian Bing. I, I really don't know what to say."
Looking at Long Ling's peerless gentleness, Nian Bing's heart was filled with tenderness. He subconsciously held her hand and said, "You don't have to say anything. The union has helped me so much. This is what I should do."
Long Ling's heart suddenly felt a trace of disappointment. She found that she wanted to hear Nian Bing say, "All of this is for your sake."
"Nian Bing, Ling 'er, are you back?" Shi Jiu's voice appeared at the wrong time, causing Nian Bing and Long Ling to feel a trace of irritation. Nian Bing hurriedly let go of Long Ling's hand. For someone like him who had a greater goal, offending Shi Jiu now was definitely an unwise choice.
"Big brother Shi Jiu, we're back." Nian Bing looked deeply at Long Ling and took the lead to walk into the magician union.
Shi Jiu walked up to them with some dissatisfaction and said, "Where did you go just now? Why were you gone for so long? I went to the library to look for you, but I heard that you went out. "
Nian Bing said, "Just now, Miss Luo Rou asked me to go with her to Qingfeng Zhai to explain some things to Miss Xuejing. Ling 'er happened to be there, so Miss Luo Rou invited her to go with her. See, she just sent us back."
When Shi Jiu heard that Nian Bing and Long Ling didn't go out alone, his expression immediately improved. "In the future, it's best to tell me before you go out, so I don't have to worry."
Nian Bing smiled and nodded, saying, "Big brother, I'm going back to the library first. You can chat with Ling 'er." After saying that, she walked away with large strides.
Long Ling had already walked into the union at this time. Shi Jiu excitedly walked up to her, "Ling 'er, you left for half a day. I was almost worried to death. I bought you two new head ornaments. I think they're very suitable for you. Come, come with me to take a look. I think you'll definitely like them. "
Looking at Shi Jiu's eager face, Long Ling really couldn't find any interest. However, her gentle nature made her unable to refuse her senior brother. Just as she didn't know what to do, Long Zhi's voice suddenly sounded, "Little Jiu, why aren't you cultivating in your room? What are you doing out here?"
Shi Jiu was most afraid of this archmage level master of his. When he saw Long Zhi come over, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Master, Ling 'er and Nian Bing just went out. I was a bit anxious, so I waited for them here."
Long Zhi glanced at Long Ling and frowned, "Since they've already returned, you can continue cultivating. Look at Nian Bing. She's younger than you by ten years, but she's already entered the realm of master magician. I'll give you one more year. If you still can't reach the level of master magician, then don't say you're my disciple in the future."
Seeing Long Zhi angry, Shi Jiu was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He hurriedly said, "Yes, master. I'll go back and meditate." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Seeing Shi Jiu leave, Long Zhi's expression immediately relaxed. He walked to his precious daughter's side and smiled, "You went out with Nian Bing?"
"Father." When Long Ling saw her father, her previously tense nerves from preparing to deal with Shi Jiu immediately relaxed, "Just now, Nian Bing and I went to Qingfeng Zhai together."
Long Zhi said, "Nian Bing has indeed been working too hard these days. She should also go out more often. You've been very attentive since you were young. You need to take care of her daily life. Oh right, what do you think of Nian Bing? "
Long Ling stared blankly for a moment before saying, "He's very good! He's very motivated. Moreover, his comprehension is very high, not even below Rou 'er's. He's also very good, although he's a bit mysterious. "
Long Zhi smiled and said, "Men should be like Nian Bing. As the saying goes, first establish a career, then settle down. A man, if he doesn't have any ability, can only be mediocre for life. I also feel that this child, Nian Bing, is not bad. "
Long Ling hesitated for a moment, but still decided to tell her father about this matter. "Father, actually, Nian Bing has another profession …" At that moment, she recounted everything that had happened at Qingfeng Zhai in detail. Hearing his daughter's words, Long Zhi's expression changed. He never would have thought that Nian Bing, whom he had such high expectations for, would actually be a chef. Although he didn't discriminate against chefs, he certainly didn't want Nian Bing to waste her energy in other areas. "… That's it. However, Nian Bing said that his culinary skills have already reached a certain level. It seems that he doesn't need to practice anymore. What he needs more is to cultivate his magic. Uncle Xue seems to value Nian Bing a lot. I'm afraid that he'll come over in a while. "
Long Zhi's eyes flashed, "No wonder I always felt that Nian Bing seemed to have something on his mind. So he's actually a chef. Now I understand everything. No wonder he's at Qingfeng Zhai."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside. Long Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "My Big Brother Xue has always been impatient. It seems that he's arrived. Ling 'er, you go in first. I'll take care of everything. "
Long Ling agreed. She had always had blind trust in her father. Once she said what was in her heart, she immediately felt much better. Turning around, she walked towards the library.
Long Ling had just left when Xue Ji and Xuejing entered the Magician's Guild. The magicians guarding the entrance recognized them and naturally didn't stop them.
Long Zhi laughed, "What wind blew Big Brother Xue and his niece here? You've really brought light to my canopy!"
Xue Ji took large strides in front of Long Zhi and smiled bitterly, "This elder brother doesn't care about the Three Treasures Palace! This time, I've come to ask for your help. "
Long Zhi's eyes flashed and said, "Big Brother, if you want Nian Bing to be a chef at your place, then don't say it out loud. You already have Ming Yuan at your place, but I can't do without him here! "
Xue Ji was stunned for a moment. He and Long Zhi had a very deep friendship. Naturally, he understood that if Long Zhi spoke like this, there would be no room for negotiation. He never thought that Nian Bing would be so important to Long Zhi. Even so, he still tried to probe, "Brother, Nian Bing is a chef. To be more accurate, he will definitely be a great chef in the future, so …"
Long Zhi said decisively, "Big Brother, perhaps Nian Bing's culinary skills are superb, but I can also tell you that as a great magician, Nian Bing will also be a great magician in the future. He has already joined my guild, but he's only chopping firewood in your Cool Breeze Restaurant. I definitely won't let him leave."
Xuejing held a brocade box in her hands as she watched her father and Long Zhi go tit for tat. She couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. Not long ago, Nian Bing had been useless in her eyes. Now, he had become a talent that her father and Long Zhi were fighting over. The contrast was too great. When it came to judging people, she was really too far behind. Nian Bing, oh Nian Bing, I really don't know if I should hate you or …
Xue Ji shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it. Actually, I didn't have much hope in coming here this time. Even if you didn't stop him, I'm afraid that Nian Bing wouldn't go to my little temple. I was wrong in the past to let him chop firewood in the Cool Breeze Restaurant. This time, I'm here to apologize to him. "
Long Zhi said with some doubt, "Just to apologize? Big Brother, you also know that our Magician's Guild is getting worse and worse. It wasn't easy for us to get such a talent. I also have no other choice! "
Xue Ji smiled indifferently and said, "Enough, brother. Don't you know your big brother's character? I just want to see him and then I'll leave. Even if I can't use him, we can at least be friends. "
Long Zhi's face turned red. Indeed, he was too nervous about Nian Bing. He hurriedly made way and said, "Big Brother, I'll take you there. He's in the library."
On the third floor of the library, Nian Bing sat on the ground, concentrating on reading the information on magic arrays in his hands. As long as he had the book, he wouldn't think about anything else. Although there were fewer books on the third floor, the knowledge they contained was more extensive and profound. It wasn't something that could be completely understood in a day or two. He had long developed a strong interest in magic arrays. If he didn't study it thoroughly, he wouldn't give up.
Long Ling looked at Nian Bing in a daze. She found that he was most attractive when he was in a state of concentration. Although he never looked at her when he was reading, his handsome face had long been deeply engraved in her mind. Long Ling had always believed in fate. Born in a magician's family, she had been learning magic from her father since she was young. She didn't have much interest in it. She felt that this was her fate. Since it was her fate, she had to continue. Shi Jiu was her senior and had always been pursuing her. Shi Jiu was indeed very good to her. When Long Ling was young, she had always believed that this was fate's arrangement. When she grew up, she would definitely marry this senior who was older than her by ten years. However, ever since Nian Bing appeared, her belief in fate had been shaken. When Nian Bing successfully created a magic scroll and revealed a confident smile on his face, Long Ling knew that she had been completely attracted by that inconspicuous smile. For the first time, her heart throbbed. It was an indescribable feeling. Every day, although she only looked at Nian Bing in Silence, her heart was very satisfied. As long as she looked at him, she would forget everything. In the beginning, Long Ling was still a little afraid. She was afraid of this feeling in her heart. However, when she saw Nian Bing create a work of art — Nine Azure Divine Dragon Bing Yun, the fear in her heart suddenly disappeared. She clearly understood that she had fallen deeply in love with this man, this mysterious man. Even though he wasn't that powerful, every part of him was deeply attractive to her. If there was a flaw in him, it would be his indifferent attitude. Apart from magic and cooking, he didn't seem to care about anything else. Even if it was someone as beautiful and intelligent as Rou 'er, he was afraid that he couldn't avoid her.
Footsteps sounded. Long Ling couldn't help but frown. She didn't want anyone to disturb her and Nian Bing. She stood up and carefully looked downstairs without making any noise. She just happened to see her father leading Xue Ji and his daughter up the stairs. "Uncle Xue, Silence, you're here."
Xuejing looked at Long Ling strangely. "Ling 'er, you're also learning magic in the library? I remember you said two years ago that you've read all the books here. "
Long Ling's face turned red. "Nian Bing's understanding of magic is unique. I'm learning from him."
Long Zhi's heart skipped a beat. He could clearly see this kind of childish attitude. He smiled and said, "At the same time, I'm also taking care of Nian Bing. After all, he works so hard every day. How can he live without someone to take care of him? If it weren't for Ling 'er reminding him every day, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have time to eat. Even I can't help but admire this child's focus. "
Xue Ji looked at Long Zhi. Long Zhi was also looking at him. It was obvious that Long Zhi's eyes were filled with pride. Xue Ji shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage emotionally. Nian Bing was only a firewood chopper in the Breeze Fasting, but in the Sorcerer's Guild, he was a treasure. Long Zhi didn't even try to avoid suspicion and sent his own daughter to serve him. The difference between the two was too great. Sigh, he was really too much. If he had seen Nian Bing's true ability earlier, this situation wouldn't have happened.
Xue Ji and Xuejing walked to Nian Bing's side. Although Nian Bing was focused, there was no way he wouldn't notice the two people beside him. He looked up and saw Xue Ji and his daughter. A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. He quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Xue, Miss Xuejing, why are you here?"
