The smile on Miss Meng's face had long since disappeared, "You've misjudged me. I'm already 22 years old this year. My name is Zi Qingmeng. You can just call me by my name from now on. Don't call me Miss Meng or Miss Meng. Our cooking department is one of the smaller departments in the school. Other than the Magic department, which has the least number of students, there are only a little more than a thousand people in the entire department. We are divided into five grades and each grade has five classes. The classes are divided into Passion for Cooking, Cold Dishes, Pastries, Medicinal Cuisine, and Local Snacks. Most of the classes are Hot Dishes Cooking, accounting for about a third of the students in each grade. As for me, I'm a fifth year student of the Cold Dishes Cooking Department. At the same time, I'm also a knife teacher. So, you can think whatever you want. "
Knife teacher? It seems like she hadn't misjudged her! She was also an expert in knife skills. If there was a chance, she really would like to compare notes with her. Nian Bing thought as she followed Zi Qingmeng to the entrance of the school. When the four students in charge of guarding the entrance saw her, they immediately straightened their backs. Their eyes were filled with respect as they said in unison, "Greetings, senior."
Zi Qingmeng only nodded and didn't stop. She led Nian Bing into the school. "Why do they call you senior and not teacher?" Nian Bing asked the question in her heart.
Zi Qingmeng glanced at her and said, "Because I'm a student of the Martial Skills Department. I'm also a fifth year student. Naturally, they call me senior. Oh, I forgot to tell you. In this school, as long as you have enough ability to pass the exams, you can study several majors. Of course, tuition is a must. You also need to pass the exams. "
Nian Bing's heart skipped a beat. She felt Zi Qingmeng's cold aura and said, "I think you should major in Martial Skills. Is the Cooking Department your elective?" His eyes didn't stop on Zi Qingmeng's body. Instead, he looked at the huge field in front of him. There were at least a few thousand people moving around. Some were chatting, some were comparing notes, and some were walking. Thousands of people in this field, but it seemed very lonely. The huge field was paved with some unknown material. The ground was a dark grey and seemed to be very hard. Around the sports field, there were buildings as tall as eight stories. Those should be the teaching buildings. It was the first time Nian Bing had seen such a tall building, and her curiosity towards Lan Meng Academy couldn't help but increase.
Zi Qingmeng looked at Nian Bing in surprise. "How did you know?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said it was a guess?" Of course, he was just guessing, but his guess was well-founded. When Zi Qingmeng had introduced the Lan Meng Academy, she had first mentioned the Martial Arts Department, not the Cooking Department. Moreover, when she was talking about the glory of the Martial Arts Department, the expression on her face was clearly a little proud, but when she talked about the Cooking Department, her expression was much calmer. Nian Bing was good at observation. She could make the right judgment from the little expression that she inadvertently revealed.
Zi Qingmeng didn't pursue the matter. The two of them walked through the sports field in silence. She brought Nian Bing directly to the western teaching building. When they arrived in front of the teaching building, Zi Qingmeng didn't bring Nian Bing inside. Instead, she took him around the building and went to the back. "The teaching building outside is mainly the teaching area of the several major departments. The Cooking Department is in that building. Don't forget, the dormitories are also in that building."
It was a five story building. If it was anywhere else, a five story building would be considered very tall, but compared to the eight story buildings outside, it really wasn't much. The entire building didn't look small. The students coming and going were all wearing the same dark blue uniform as the students outside, but the small signs on their faces all had the word "Cooking" written on them.
Zi Qingmeng brought Nian Bing up to the fifth floor and arrived at the door of an office. She directly pushed open the door and entered. Nian Bing followed behind her. Before he could see the situation inside, he heard a scream.
"Ah! Who is so unruly, coming in without knocking? … Little Meng, so it's you! You want to scare me to death, can you please knock on the door in the future? "
Nian Bing peeked in from behind Zi Qingmeng and saw a man and a woman tidying up their untidy clothes. The man looked to be in his fifties and was a little hunchbacked. There was only a circle of red hair on his head, and the center was bald like a barren hillside. He had small eyes, a bulbous nose, and a big mouth. Almost all of the adjectives used to describe an ugly appearance were used on him. What was strange was that the woman who was being intimate with him before looked much younger. She looked to be in her thirties. Her appearance was good, and her figure was not bad. At this time, her face was red as she tied her bra.
Zi Qingmeng coldly said, "Great Love Sage, I've brought you a new student."
The hunchbacked man coughed a few times and said, "You can call the shots on the new student. Why did you have to bring her here? Alright, you can come in. Little Yi Yi, you go out first. I'll come find you when I have time. "
Hearing him call out Little Yi Yi in such a coquettish voice, Nian Bing really had the urge to turn around and leave. Was this the head of the Cooking Department? The middle-aged woman threw a coquettish glance at the head of the department, as if she didn't see the handsome Nian Bing. She straightened her clothes and calmly walked away. Zi Qingmeng seemed to be accustomed to this place, and her expression didn't change.
The hunchbacked department head coughed and said, "Come, sit down first. My office is a little messy. " It was indeed messy, and not just a little. The entire large office was scattered everywhere, and there was even a small puddle of water on the table. But the air in the office was still fresh. Zi Qingmeng and Nian Bing walked into the room. The department head cleaned up the table a few times, and then his eyes fell on Nian Bing, "To be able to make Little Meng personally bring you here, it seems you have some skill. Young man, what can you do? "
Nian Bing coughed, but still maintained a smile on her face, "I just learned how to cook for a few days in the past. I wanted to come to your school to learn how to cook."
The department head's eyes turned to Zi Qingmeng, but Zi Qingmeng coldly said, "Don't look at me. Have you ever seen a person who only learned how to cook for a few days know how to cook? I'll leave him to you. Do as you see fit. "After saying that, as if she didn't want to stay in this room for a moment longer, she turned around and left.
Hearing the words' Golden Word Illusion ', the department head's originally dim eyes lit up, "Golden Word Illusion. You know how to use one of the five famous knives, the Golden Word Illusion? "
Nian Bing looked at the department head's protruding hands and said, "You can say that. It's just that I haven't mastered it yet." He wasn't being modest. Whether it was the Golden Word Illusion or the Dance of the Dragon, he still had a long way to go before he reached the peak. But now, he wasn't at the stage where he could rely only on practice. Just like Cha Ji said, what he needed now was enlightenment.
"Was it Cha Ji who sent you to find me?" The department head sat back in his seat, but his words caused Ling Nian Bing's body to tremble. With a faint smile, he said, "Besides Old Cha, I'm afraid no one else can teach a twenty year old to use the Golden Word Illusion. You don't need to be surprised. I really didn't expect that after Old Cha disappeared for twenty years, there would finally be news of him again."
"You know my master?" Nyan Bing's voice was no longer balanced. The old man in front of her gave her an unfathomable feeling.
The department head smiled and said, "Didn't your master mention Perverted Camel Zi Xiu to you? That old man can't have forgotten an old friend, right? "
As soon as the words' Perverted Camel Zi Xiu 'entered her ears, Nian Bing suddenly remembered something Cha Ji had said to her. It was an evaluation of the chefs of his era. In his era, there were five most outstanding chefs, known as the Five Gods of Cookery. They had the nicknames of Ghost, Lie, Camel, Spirit, and Miao. Among them, the Miao God of Cookery was the master of Ming Yuan and Ming Hui. He was also known as the Immortal of Cookery. He was best at small craftsmanship, as well as making noodles. And her master, Cha Ji, was the head of the Five Gods of Cookery. The five of them had gathered three times to rank. Those three times were also known as the most powerful peak showdown in the history of the cooking world. Ghost Chef Cha Ji used his uncanny craftsmanship to obtain the final victory by a small margin each time, while the other four Gods of Cookery were only slightly different in ability. When Cha Ji evaluated the Camel God of Cookery, his expression was very strange. He said, "Perverted Camel Zi Xiu is the most unique of the five of us. That guy's cooking skills are not only brilliant, but also strange. Maybe you don't believe it, but the famous dishes he is best at are all inspired by women. Perverted Camel Zi Xiu, Perverted Camel Zi Xiu. Who would have thought that the Camel God of Cookery, who was ranked third among the Five Gods of Cookery, was actually the dean of this cooking academy. "
Nian Bing hurriedly bowed to Zi Xiu and said, "Senior Zi Xiu, so you are the famous Camel God of Cookery! This junior is really rude. "
Zi Xiu said somewhat impatiently, "Enough, I hate these vulgar manners the most. Kid, how long have you been learning cooking from Old Man Cha Ji? Where is he now? In these twenty years, he hasn't been teaching at all. The cooking world outside has changed a lot. "
Nian Bing was sorrowful. Recalling his master's teachings, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Senior Zi Xiu, my master has passed away. He died before I left. I have been learning from him for eight years. Nian Bing didn't dare to forget his teachings for a moment. Senior Zi Xiu, since you are an old friend of my master, can you tell me who made the bet with my master and made him lose miserably and break his tendons? "
Camel Chef Zi Xiu rolled his eyes, "Old Man Cha Ji is dead? Good, good, he's dead. In the future, there will be one less person in front of me to suppress me. Die, die. Good, why am I not dead yet. " Although he was cursing, Nian Bing could clearly see that his protruding knuckles, which should have been extremely stable, were actually trembling slightly. For a top chef, this was almost an impossible situation. Tears flickered in Zi Xiu's eyes, but he didn't shed any tears. He sat there in a daze, like a statue.
"Senior Zi, are you alright? My master has already passed away, but when he passed away, he was very peaceful. Don't be sad. " Looking at Zi Xiu's appearance, Nian Bing understood that although the old man in front of him had fought with his master all his life, there was still a deep friendship between them.
"If you're in trouble, I'll be fine. Damn it, Old Man Cha Ji died so early. I don't know how much of his skills you learned. If the Ghost Chef's skills are lost, even if I go to the underworld, I won't forgive him. Kid, do you want to know who forced your master to sever his tendons? Good, as long as you can beat me in cooking, I'll tell you. Otherwise, don't even think about it. I, Lustful Camel Zi Xiu, am a man of my word. There is absolutely no possibility of bending the rules. I will first arrange for you to attend classes in the fifth grade. After a year, if you still can't reach a level where you can compete with me in cooking, then you can scram. "
Nian Bing respectfully said: "Senior Zi, I think we don't have to wait that long. I will challenge you now. I hope you will keep your word. After you lose, tell me the situation of the challenger."
"Now? Good kid, you're as arrogant as your dead master. Are you very capable? Didn't your master tell you what I'm best at? "Camel Chef's voice was full of arrogance.
Nian Bing smiled. Although Zi Xiu was constantly cursing Cha Ji, he understood that the relationship between this Camel Chef and his master was extremely deep. Senior Zi Xiu, please forgive me for being disrespectful. "At that time, this was what my master said about you. He said that Lustful Camel Zi Xiu, that old thing, other than being able to perform a few Jade Screen Condensation and tearing apart the Heavy Eagle Hand, his other skills were not worth mentioning. Furthermore, the creativity he got from women was not bad. Damn it, this old hunchback is much uglier than me, but there are still women who don't open their eyes who like him. To put it simply, he's a cripple's asshole — — Evil! " Nian Bing completely imitated Cha Ji's tone. She vividly described it, as if Cha Ji had personally said it here. Hearing this, Camel Chef Zi Xiu's face turned green and red.
"Good Cha Ji, you're already dead and you're still saying bad things about me. You're the cripple's asshole. You actually dared to judge me like this in front of the younger generation. Hmph, just wait for me to dig up your grave." Hearing Nian Bing's words, Camel Chef Zi Xiu immediately flew into a rage. He pointed at Nian Bing's nose and jumped up and down while angrily cursing. However, in the end, he couldn't control his tears and they flowed down his angry face.
Nian Bing seemed to not hear Camel Chef's insults. She lowered her head and said: "Master said that only you can use the Jade Screen Condensation, the last of the five great blades, to the perfect state. This is something that he can't compare to. The five great blades are actually not ranked first or last. As long as you can reach the perfect state, you'll be at the peak of the cooking world. He also said that your Heavy Eagle Hand, which is ranked second among the seven great forbidden techniques, is the only technique that can be used to cook dishes. He can't compare to you. Just based on the subtle control of the power in your hands, you're definitely number one on the continent. "
Wiping away the tears on his face, Zi Xiu snorted and said: "That's more like it. Even if your master was here right now, he might not be able to compare to me. You brat, you've only learned cooking for a few years and you want to challenge me? It's still a bit too early. How about this, since I know how to use the word 'embroidery', I reckon that I've also learned some superficial knowledge of the Dance of the Dragon Song. I'll first learn from the fifth grade cooking class of the academy's cooking department. At the same time, I'll be like Xiao Meng, a knife technique teacher. Wait until you can surpass Xiao Meng in knife technique and her brother Zi Qingjian in technique, then I'll give you a chance. She and her brother have learned cooking from me for more than ten years. They've respectively inherited my Heavy Eagle Hand and Jade Screen Condensation techniques. Although they're still a bit lacking, there are few opponents in the younger generation. As long as you can beat them, you'll be able to compare to at least seventy percent of my cooking skills. "
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "Then I'll listen to your arrangements. However, I think that it won't be long before I can compare notes with you."
Zi Xiu looked up and down at Nian Bing and said: "It seems that you have a lot of confidence in yourself!"
Nian Bing said indifferently: "As the successor of the Ghost Chef, if I don't even have this bit of confidence, then wouldn't I be undermining my master's reputation?" When Zha Ji had first introduced her to Camel Chef Zi Xiu, he had said that Zi Xiu was extremely arrogant. Unless she was able to subdue him in his field of expertise, he would always be arrogant and overbearing. Therefore, Nian Bing's tone gradually became less courteous.
Zi Xiu stood up and said: "You're already considered a student here. One year, two semesters. Each semester's tuition is ten gold coins, accommodation is five gold coins, food is five gold coins, a total of twenty gold coins. As a guest teacher, your income will be five gold coins per month. I won't charge you any money. However, you can expect me to pay you a salary. As for the classes you want to take, you can choose them yourself. As the knife technique teacher, I'll let Xiao Meng tell you the arrangements. The first and second floors of the Cooking Department's building are used for teaching, the third and fourth floors are dormitories, and the fifth floor is the teacher's office. I think you don't need an office, so you can stay on the fourth floor of the dormitory. There aren't many students in the Cooking Department, so I can make an exception and let you stay in a dormitory by yourself. "
Just as Zi Xiu said this, a deep voice suddenly came from outside, "Second Uncle, Second Uncle, I heard that there's a guy who knows the Golden Void Knife Technique. Where is he? The door opened with a bang, and a tall figure burst in from outside. Seeing this person, Nian Bing couldn't help but jump in fright. This person was actually taller than her by a head, and his shoulders were extremely broad. When he came in, not only did he have to lower his head, he also had to turn sideways. The dark blue uniform tightly wrapped around his solid muscles. His skin was dark, and his short red hair was disheveled. His eyes were very bright, and although he couldn't be considered handsome, his resolute and sunny face easily gave people a good impression. His whole body was filled with power, especially those large hands that were like palm-leaf fans. The joints were extremely prominent, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately brought a strong pressure. Nian Bing didn't doubt that his hands had the ability to tear her apart.
"Xiao Jian, can't you learn from your sister? If you're always so impetuous, how can you accomplish great things?" Zi Xiu said unhappily.
The man called Xiao Jian didn't care about Zi Xiu at all. His gaze fell on Nian Bing, and he excitedly said: "Hello, are you that brat who knows the Golden Void Knife Technique? I'm called Zi Qingjian, but you can call me Xiao Jian. Let's go, I'll compare notes with you. Let's see whose cooking skills are better. "As he said this, he pulled Nian Bing away.
Nian Bing jumped in fright. Her arm lightly flashed, and she dodged Zi Qingjian's grab. This was Zi Qingmeng's older brother? Heavens! No matter how she looked at it, they didn't look like they were born from the same mother.
"Xiao Jian, what are you in such a rush for? He can't run, and there will be plenty of chances in the future. You came at the right time. Take him to the fourth floor and find a room to live in. As for his lessons, let your sister arrange them. He'll also be a guest teacher for the knife skills class. Nian Bing, you're called Nian Bing, right? Go with Zi Qingjian. If there's nothing important, don't come looking for me. Also, in the future, you have to knock on my door first. "
Zi Qingjian excitedly said: "Uncle, don't waste time talking. Go pick up your girl. Leave brother Nian Bing to me. Let's go, brother Nian Bing. "As he said this, he pulled Nian Bing.
Thinking of what Zi Qingmeng had said before, Nian Bing hurriedly dodged Zi Qingjian's large hand. She bitterly smiled: "Big brother Zi Qingjian, I'll go by myself. I haven't learned any martial arts, so I can't handle being pulled by you!"
Zi Qingjian awkwardly said: "Oh, I forgot that you're not in the martial arts department. I'll definitely be more careful in the future. "The two walked out of the room, and when Zi Qingjian closed the door, it made a loud bang.
Seeing that his office door was on the verge of collapsing, Camel Chef Zi Xiu unhappily said: "It looks like I'll have to change to a pure iron one. Xiao Meng disturbed my good business again, and Cha Ji's disciple actually appeared. From the looks of it, he should have learned some of Cha Ji's skills. It looks like the cooking world won't be peaceful in the future. However, it really is time for a new generation. Us old fellows are old after all. Cha Ji, you damn old geezer, you actually died so early. F * ck, f * ck. "Zi Xiu no longer had the mood to flirt and sat in his seat in a daze.
Under Zi Qingjian's lead, Nian Bing arrived at the fourth floor. As soon as Zi Qingjian reached the fourth floor, he immediately shouted: "Teacher Floor Head, Teacher Floor Head." His loud voice shook the entire corridor.
"Coming, coming. This is Zi Qingjian again, right? Can't you be a little quieter? Sooner or later, this corridor will collapse. " A clear and moving voice carried a fragrant wind. When Nian Bing saw the floor head's appearance, she couldn't help but be dumbstruck. This was because the person in front of her was a woman, and it was the beautiful middle aged woman from Zi Xiu's room.
"Qingjian, what's wrong? You brought this young man here to look for a dorm. I heard a bit of what Xiao Meng said to this old man. Young man, welcome to the Culinary Department. "
Although she looked down on this woman, Nian Bing still took the initiative to shake her hand. "Sorry to trouble you. The department head said that I can have my own room."
Zi Qingjian said: "Yes, you can have your own room. There are two beds in this room. Maybe one day I'll come find you to spar, and I'll be able to sleep in a place. Teacher Daji, please hurry. "
Daji smiled slightly and said: "Then come with me." As she spoke, she pulled out a bunch of keys out of nowhere. She took one out and handed it to Nian Bing. She led them along the corridor, and after passing through more than twenty doors, they stopped at a door. He stopped in front of a room with the words 4273 on the door. "There aren't many students in our department, and some of them are from the city, so the dormitory is relatively empty. You can stay here for now. Young man, what's your name? "
"My name is Nian Bing. Thank you, Teacher Daji."
Daji's gaze paused on Nian Bing's handsome face for a second. "Alright, you can go in and rest. In the future, if there's anything you want to do, just look for me. Remember, the third floor is the girls' dorm. It's a forbidden area for men. "With a meaningful smile on her face, she turned and left.
Opening the door, Nian Bing and Zi Qingjian walked into his newly assigned dorm. The room was very large, about thirty square meters. There were two wardrobes, two chairs, two beds, and a table. The layout was very simple, but it could be considered clean. Zi Qingjian sat down on one of the chairs without hesitation. His heavy weight caused the chair to groan. "Brother Nian Bing, when will you let me see your Brocade Illusionary Door? I heard Second Uncle say before that the Five Great Names each have their own characteristics. Brocade Illusionary Door is an extremely mysterious knife technique. "
Nian Bing smiled faintly and said, "I only know a little bit. Brother Qingjian, from the looks of it, you don't seem to have a good relationship with your uncle! "
"Bad relationship? How could that be? Although my uncle is much older than me and Little Dream, he's like an old child. Aside from his bad behavior, there's nothing else. He was the one who asked us not to be so polite. Being with my uncle is much more relaxing than being with my father. My uncle is like a friend to us, or even a brother. Nian Bing, you've just arrived, so you might not understand the situation here. You should've seen Teacher Daji in my uncle's office before. Don't think that she's only here because of my uncle. "
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "I never look down on anyone. Is Teacher Daji your uncle's wife?"
Zi Qingjian shook his head and said: "No, my uncle doesn't have a wife at all. In his life, he's had countless women. Most of the female teachers in the academy who are somewhat beautiful have some relationship with him. Teacher Daji specializes in teaching cooked food in the culinary department. She's the number one cooked food teacher in the culinary department. She came to the academy because she was convinced by my uncle's culinary skills. If you eat the cooked food she makes, you'll definitely be fascinated. She's taught me and Little Dream many useful things. If you have the chance in the future, you can also learn from her. "
Nian Bing nodded and said: "I heard Senior Zi Xiu say that you learned the Heavy Eagle Hand Technique from him. If there's a chance, I'd like to see it for myself."
Zi Qingjian laughed mischievously and said: "I've never been interested in cooking. Cooking should be a woman's job. Brother, I'm not talking about you! In fact, it's because of my uncle's Heavy Eagle Hand Technique that I chose to study culinary arts. You don't know, but the Heavy Eagle Hand Technique is the only one among the seven great forbidden culinary arts that uses martial arts as its foundation. It can be used to cook, but at the same time, it can also be used to kill. Even my father doesn't know how to use it. It's my uncle's unique skill. It's a pity not to learn it! The Jade Curtain Condensation Knife Technique that my younger sister learned from it is also very helpful to my own martial arts. I usually don't come to the culinary department for lessons. Most of the time, I'm in the martial arts department. Therefore, if you want to find me, you can just go there and talk to Little Jian. My brothers all know me. No, I can't take it anymore. Brother, can you show me some of your skills first? I'm very curious about the word 'Brocade Illusion'! My younger sister said that you were in a restaurant outside, using the word 'Brocade Illusion' to carve cucumbers. Every piece of cucumber was carved into the word 'Meng', so I immediately ran over. Don't take offense, I'm just a bit rash. I'm very interested in things related to martial arts. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "How could I take offense? I just like to interact with straightforward people like Big Brother Qingjian. Looking at your appearance, your martial arts must be very famous in the academy. "
Zi Qingjian scratched his head and said, "It's alright. I'm a heavy sword teacher in the martial arts department. If you're interested in martial arts, you can come find me at any time. However, you're already a bit old. It's a bit late to start practicing martial arts, but strengthening your body shouldn't be a problem. Your body's condition isn't bad. If you train well for a period of time, you should have some achievements. "
Nian Bing shook her head and said, "No need, I'm only interested in culinary arts. Thank you for your good intentions. There aren't any ingredients here, so I can't use the word 'Brocade Illusion'! "
"Ingredients? Isn't that simple? Right now it's time for afternoon classes. Come, I'll bring you to the culinary department's fifth year class. There's knife lessons every afternoon. Didn't uncle want you to be a knife skills teacher? You can use this chance to show some of your skills. Anyone who can enter our academy has some skills. If you don't shock them first, it won't be easy for you to become a teacher in the future. " He was a person who acted swiftly and decisively. This time, he didn't pull Nian Bing and stood up to leave.
