Chapter 1: Food Overlord,
Canglan City, Cherry Blossom District, Huangting Hotel.
As the sun sets, hundreds of people gathered in darkness at the entrance of the hotel.
Everyone's eyes were looking into the hotel, as if they were waiting for something...
As the peak hours approached, more and more pedestrians were watching, and the scene was in chaos.
"What are they doing?"
"Is this a question necessary? Just wait for an interview."
"Is there another big man having dinner in it today? Tsk tsk, the reputation of the Royal Court Hotel is getting more and more popular."
"There are no big names? They are waiting to interview the mysterious chef at the Royal Court Hotel who is known as the "God of Gods."
"Is that chef actually willing to be interviewed?"
"Of course I don't want to. However, it is said that a new chef challenged him this morning, but ended up winning the victory. He snatched the chef's position in public, forcing him to leave the imperial court. The senior officials of the imperial court obviously wanted to strike while the iron was hot and secretly released the news of his departure, attracting public attention and increasing popularity."
"Damn it, it's true? This is big news!"
"It should be true, after all, the drama of 'the old god falls and the new god ascends the throne' will never go out of date at any time."
"Frankly speaking, the operation of the Royal Court is a bit suffocating. If it weren't for the addition of that mysterious chef, it would never have been possible that it would have become the leader of the food industry in the Sakura District two years ago. No one would have matched it."
"Although this is the reason, who cares for diners who pursue taste?"
"After you say that, I'm really looking forward to the new chef's craftsmanship..."
...
Crunch...
Deep in the secluded alley, the rusty iron door was slowly pushed open by Li Can and then took a step out.
Who would have thought that the mysterious chef, who was praised by the food industry as the "God of Gods", was actually a young man in his early twenties and beautiful eyes!
"In order to get the master to leave the main door, those shameless bastards in the imperial court secretly locked the back door. Fortunately, I have a spare key."
Behind Lee Can, a beautiful girl wearing a chef's uniform, wearing a white high hat, a petite figure and a little baby-fat cheeks muttered angrily.
Her name is Guan Miaomiao, and she is Li Can's only apprentice, and she is seventeen this year.
"Shh!" Li Can made a gesture of silence, "Be careful that there are ears in the wall."
"I'm not afraid. At worst, I won't do it anymore." Guan Miaomiao glanced at the corner of her mouth, quite unscathing.
"Nothing! This is a conflict between me and the imperial court. What are you going to do with me?" Li Can scolded.
“I just…”
Guan Miaomiao gently bit her lower lip, and then said with aggrieved expression: "I just feel angry for the master! If the master hadn't been injured in the car accident a year ago, leaving the root of his illness, causing problems with his hands, no matter how superb Lei Tianming's cooking skills are, he would not be your opponent! It is absolutely impossible! They are clearly taking advantage of others' danger!"
Car accident...
When Li Can heard the two words he least wanted to hear, his heart suddenly became nervous and looked sad.
The car accident not only hurt his hands, but also took away his parents' lives...
"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't mean it..."
"I know." Li Can interrupted, "Actually, even if my hand is not injured, it will be a matter of time to leave the imperial court."
"Why?" Miaomiao was puzzled.
"It's not been a day or two that they want to get my thorn away. Haven't you noticed that the dishes that Lei Tianming displayed today are all my own recipes? They have studied my recipes thoroughly and have no worries."
"So shameless!"
"More than that..." Li Can sighed without explaining his words.
In fact, when the news of his defeat spread throughout the food industry, all the food leaders in Canglan City did not dare to hire him, because whoever hired him would be equivalent to admitting that his family was not as good as the imperial court.
This is the hidden killing move by the senior officials of the imperial court, both ruthless and accurate.
Miaomiao naturally would not think of the problem so thoroughly like Li Can. She looked at Li Can with sorrow, but found that the latter's face always had a familiar confident smile, as if no setback could knock him down.
Yes, the master has always been that strong and powerful overlord of the food industry!
"Okay, it's getting late, you go back."
After tidying up the somewhat wrinkled chef's hat for his beloved disciple, Li Can turned around and left without any nostalgia.
"Master, you will come back and take away your crown..."
The thin and lonely back tore the last line of defense in Guan Miaomiao's heart, and the tears that had been reluctant to leave for a long time finally shed.
She was sad because from then on, there will never be anyone who will protect herself righteously, there will never be someone who will cover herself with a serious look on her face, and there will never be anyone who will teach herself without reservation.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
The sob behind him hit Li Can's heart like a beast in the wilderness. Although he was very uncomfortable, he did not choose to turn around, but just raised his right hand at will.
Then,
Clenched heavily into fists!
...
In April, all things are revived and the earth is rejuvenated.
The cherry blossom area, one of the twelve districts of Canglan City, is now in full bloom.
As the night approaches, pink petals float under the street lights.
Li Can walked aimlessly on the cold street with his luggage, and had no idea where he wanted to go or where he would go.
A car accident a year ago caused him to lose both parents, and the trauma caused by the car accident caused him to lose his job.
Now, his whole body is only a few thousand yuan, which is really terrible.
Incredible, but that's the truth.
After the car accident, all his savings were either paid for treatment or used to track down the driver who caused the accident that was like the evaporated from the world.
Li Can still cannot forget the scene when he was sitting in the back seat and watching the heavy truck full of cargo crash into...
Buzz!
Just at this moment, a concrete tanker whizzed by on the highway, and the violent wind frightened Li Can to move several steps towards the flower bed.
The soles of the feet are soft.
"Ouch!"
The scream exploded in his ears, and Li Can realized that he had accidentally stepped on someone else's foot.
She is a slightly fat girl wearing glasses.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Li Can quickly apologized and calmed down the other party's anger.
"I've really been bitten by a snake once, but I've been afraid of the rope for ten years."
Watching the slightly fat girl leave, Li Can laughed at herself. After calming down her emotions, she realized that she had walked into a very remote old street without knowing it.
The old street is very narrow, with fly restaurants on both sides, and a one-way street in the middle, full of private cars.
An aunt hurried out from the restaurant with a pile of dirty water and poured her rudely on the side of the road. When she was about to return the same way, her feet slipped and fell to the ground. The bucket in her hand hit the car that was about to lean on.
The aunt stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the car owner. The two soon fell into a quarrel about "compensation".
The stray dog sniffed around the dirty water, but could not find the "content" that could penetrate the stomach.
This is the most primitive and down-to-earth alley in the city, full of life.
Breathing at the slightly sour and stinky air, Li Can rubbed his croaking stomach while entering the old street to find a satisfactory restaurant.
If you want to quickly determine whether the food in a strange restaurant is delicious, the most direct way is to compare the number of people eating. The more people you eat, the better the reputation.
But now, times have changed. Sometimes places with a lot of people may not have a good reputation. Maybe it is just an unproven "Internet celebrity check-in place".
However, this was not troubled by Li Can. With his realm, you can quickly get the desired result by just smelling the smell floating out of the restaurant.
"The noodle soup base in this noodle restaurant is very strong and has a blurred layering. It is obviously reused for a long time. The noodle soup cooked will lose its original flavor and not be strong enough. Well, the noodle restaurant is about to close, and the boss will probably not change the soup base again."
"Dumpling restaurant... Speaking of which, I haven't eaten dumplings for more than half a year. Woo... What's the light sour taste? It seems that the meat filling has been left for too long and has deteriorated. Unfortunately, if the meat filling is OK, I don't mind making a secret dip dish myself."
"The barbecue restaurant is pretty good... Oh my god, who is so fucking an epic fart inside... It smells so smelly!"
Li Can's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a dead mouse. He pinched his nose and quickly left the barbecue restaurant. Otherwise, he would have been able to help complaining that the farts had eaten too many protein-containing foods!
"Huh."
When he found the end of the old street, Li Can suddenly saw a cooking restaurant called "Next House Kitchen".
It’s not that the restaurant is so special, but that there is a recruitment notice posted on the door...
【Emergency recruitment of a chef, including food and accommodation...】
