The entire world is on the hunt for one great chicken!  

The Celestial Emperor has issued an arrest warrant for the same great chicken! A bounty of 100 billion Celestial Jades!

The Three Realms are in chaos due to the great chicken!

"Great Chicken, just surrender! Have faith in us! We love you!"

"Great Chicken, don't run away! You belong to my stomach!"

The poor chicken is afraid of the world as everyone in it "loves fried chicken!".

(On Hiatus)

The next dish was about to be served, and yet the diners were still busy arguing to each other which one was tastier. As the emcee reminded them to vote accordingly, they had no choice but to cast their votes one by one. 
It was la Reverie who served their next dish to the diners. After their successful Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, they presented Bruschetta with Tomato and Basil. 
"Hmm, so they have Bruschetta this time. I'm really tempted to eat what they have there." Huang Shenghao's stomach rumbled. 
"You want to eat again. Didn't you just have breakfast before we started?" Lu Xinyi laughed. 
"Hey, you should know what I feel, Sister Lu! Aren't you curious to know what those dishes they have tasted like?" he retorted. Someone with a black hole stomach like him should understand. 
Lu Xinyi tapped her chin and thought about it. Since she started attending Silver Leaf, she barely paid attention to her opponents' dishes and only cared for its execution. 
"I haven't really given it a thought before," she admitted then realized this might be one of the reasons why Huang Shenghao's skills were better than hers. Huang Shenghao studied his opponents' dishes for future references, paying attention to the details and methods used on it. 
"Don't mind him, Xinxin. Shenghao probably knows how they made their Bruschetta right now and just thinking to eat for free again." Tian Lingyu reiterated what his sister pointed out earlier. 
Making Bruschetta wasn't complicated to do anyway. One could think of it as summer on toast. It's just a mixture of chopped tomatoes, balsamic, basil, and garlic spooned over olive-oil brushed slices of toasted baguette or rustic bread… something that Huang Shenghao himself could do without breaking a sweat. 
"Good choice for them. It is a great appetizer for the season. With it being summer and grilling season, they fire-roasted the tomatoes instead of blanching and toasted the bread while they were at the grill." Tian Lingyu added before returning to his station to start plating for their entrees.
The Bruschettas served were gone in under five minutes leaving the diners satisfied for what they've eaten. After cleaning their plates, they wondered what Oriental Bliss would serve next. 
"Thank you for waiting! Our next dish is called Drunken Chicken. I hope all of you will enjoy and get intoxicated from the wonderful deliciousness this dish has," Huang Shenghao said before passing the plates to be served to the waiters. 
Each plate had sat bite-sized pieces of chicken with a shiny, bouncy skin, surrounded by wine-spiked aspic.
As Lu Xinyi placed her buns to the steamer to cook, she took an excess plate and tasted the drunken chicken Huang Shenghao created. Summer was coming to an end in a few weeks, but for areas of the country still experiencing lingering heat, this cool and refreshing dish was really appropriate at this time of the year. 
Drunken Chicken was also on her father's recipe book and the difference with Oriental Bliss' version wasn't too far. The drunken chicken was traditionally made with a whole chicken, but no matter how delicately she cooked the chicken, the breast meat was never as tasty as the dark meat.
The first time she made this, she used a whole chicken. The second time, Lu Xinyi used just the leg quarters and was much happier with the results. There were two techniques: one could use to cook the chicken.
The more traditional way was to poach a whole chicken gently in a pot of barely simmering water. The plus side was that the huge pot of water would transform into the most delicious chicken broth that's great for soups. Or one could just steam the chicken.
The dark meat was way more forgiving of the higher heat in the steamer. No one liked dried out, cardboard chicken breast no matter how much booze one soaked that sucker in. After steaming, the chicken legs released about a cup of gelatin-packed chicken stock concentrate.  After it's mixed with Shao Hsing rice wine, it solidified into delicate aspic.
The jello, gelatin, aspic… whatever one wants to call it was the best part! 
It's nothing like the strangely-colored, rubbery concoction ubiquitous. This chicken and wine-flavored aspic hugged each piece of chicken and melted instantly in one's mouth, serving as a built-in self-basting system for the chicken.
Regardless of which method the chef choose to cook the chicken, the drunken chicken was best served cold. It could be served alone as an appetizer or with a bowl of noodles in hot chicken broth or fluffy white rice for a juxtaposition of temperatures.
There's one catch—the Chinese cleaver. After cooking, it's traditional to use the Chinese cleaver to chop the chicken into bite-size pieces that could be easily picked up with chopsticks.
One decisive 'twack' was designed to cut through skin, meat, and bone. This wouldn't work using a regular chef's knife. A Chinese cleaver was heavy-duty because the weight of the knife should most of the work.
The trick was to aim well and make one strong decisive movement. Even a split-second of hesitation would translate a botched cut job where the cleaver couldn't make it all the way through the bone or bone shards.
Among all the family recipes of the Ji family, Lu Xinyi thought that their Drunken Chicken was one of the best. Huang Shenghao didn't need to change that much, and it came out succulent, tender, juicy, and full of aroma from the wine and chicken stock.
"How is it?" Huang Shenghao asked with a grin. He was confident in his remastered version of the Ji family's Drunken Chicken. He only made sure to steep the chicken the night before. 
"You know it's lip-smackingly good." She gave him a thumbs-up. "It was excellent. Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The flavor and moistness of the chicken are incredible. The key is using a good wine because the chicken will taste like the wine you use—bad wine means a bad taste."

“Who said it had to be on the bed?” 
“What?! You wouldn’t dare kick me off the bed, and I will not share it with you!” 
“The only reason I would force you out is so I can have you on the floor.” She gritted her teeth and glared at her grinning husband. 
“Go fuck yourself!” she hissed. 
“Only if you show me how,” he winked back.

Little Miss Devil Book Cover 2019 anjeeriku

Xia Yu made a wish to eat until he vomited. And this particular wish brought him to a completely strange spirit world which was full of cuisines.
What, Chef God System?
"You need to not only satisfy normal people's appetite but also all kinds of devils and ghosts. Use your food to move them!" the old man said to him coolly.
So, Xia Yu would never stop running on the road of becoming a Chef God.
 

The old man unconsciously loosened his arms.

    Thirty minutes later, Xia Yu opened the wet cloth wrapped in the dough, holding a sharp steel knife, and chopping it down. The dough was cut into strips, and then the strips were sprinkled with oil and the board was covered. Layer starch, start pulling noodles!

    It is not easy for novices to pull the noodles, especially if they want to pull out the thin noodles. It is even more difficult. The next performance of Xia Yu makes the old man and the gods of the original people round their eyes.

    A strip of dough turned into a noodles in Xia Yu's hand. He shook hands, and the silk was flying in the air. It was long and flexible, and evenly and evenly.

    Uh... I

    quickly placed three large bowls on the kitchen counter. The silk that was sprinkled with clear oil was stuffed into the hollow sieve spoon. Xia Yu found the empty basin filled with hot water and put thousands of silver wires. Immerse in the water, but take it out in a few seconds and put it into three large bowls.

    Subsequently, the lid of the pressure cooker was uncovered, the spoon was filled with the fragrant soup, a spoonful was a bowl, and three bowls of steaming ramen appeared in the kitchen table.

    Xia Yu distributed the beef slices that had just been fried in the pan, evenly distributed them into a large bowl, and cut the chopped green onions.

    "Get it –" I picked up the apron and Xia Yu didn't look at the ramen that I cooked. Instead, I was reminded of the kitchen system:

    "System: The mirror crystal is consumed, you have mastered the new recipe, and the chef experience has improved. "

    Oh... I

    quickly opened the personal panel. Xia Yu found the "Character's Beef Ramen" that she had just learned through the mirror crystal in the recipes that she had mastered.

    If you complete the initial task, you can get the second recipe "Magic Mapo Tofu".

    "Xia's Beef Ramen" is a green recipe, "Magic Mapo Tofu" is blue, which also represents the final quality of the dish?

    Xia Yu is full of doubts.

    Good recipes can be cooked without food, but it is also based on cooking, giving a culinary recipe to the best recipes in the universe. Even the ingredients are prepared. The food he cooks is also dark. Most of them can't eat that kind of thing.

    Therefore, in Xia Yu's view, the recipe only provides guidance and direction, something similar to the formula, and the specific play depends on the chef's personal cooking.

    But what does the quality of the recipe mean? So Xia Yu asked the system.

    "Green is a general quality recipe, which also refers to the best quality that can be achieved. Blue is a good quality recipe. If cooked properly, there is a probability of glowing dishes." The system answers.

    Glowing dishes!

    The "God's tongue" of the spirit of the restaurant has a small, Chinese small family chaos into the Xia Yu seems normal.

    If you have seen the Chinese small family, it is not difficult to find a truth about cooking: all the dishes that do not shine are not good dishes.

    Is this the same in today's parallel time and space? Xia Yu could not help but contemplate.

    "This is the beef noodle you cooked?"

    A voice behind him woke up Xia Yu and looked back. It turned out that the middle-aged uncle, Shinohara, broke into the kitchen, and Xia Yu opened his mouth and saw the old man next to him. The accustomed to the kitchen to maintain the default attitude, I can only shrug.

    "Yes, please enjoy!"

    Xia Yu seriously took the three bowls to the front.

    Seihara was sitting back in the previous position, Xia Yu took an empty bowl, put the fresh hot ramen in front of him, then turned around and left the empty bowl to disappear.

    The original man who was hung in the seat was stunned, and I did not expect Xia Yu to leave.

    As a novice chef, shouldn't you stand and listen to how the guests evaluate his dishes? Unless he is very confident about his dishes!

    In the eyes, there was a trace of suspicion, and Shenyuan was soaking his nose, and the rich soup and beef flavors sucked into the nose, and the feeling of fluttering was coming back. He couldn't help but whispered: "...a familiar feeling!"

    "How do you taste the bowl of ramen that I had eaten before?" He

    looked down at the bowl and took a sip. Shenyuan was full of intoxication and belly. There seems to be a locust in the screaming, and I don't care much. I pick up the chopsticks and pick up the ramen and send it to the entrance.

    Some are hot, and God is chewing on it, and it is a big difference.

    This is very elastic and tastes great!

    From the first mouth, I couldn't stop. God's original people ate half a bowl. There was a voice next to him to remind him: "You can try the soup. This is the essence of my Xia beef noodles."

    The voice is low and old. There is a sense of stock.

    The original man was raised up, and the old man stood next to him, with an empty bowl in front of him. I don't know when he had wiped out a whole bowl of ramen, and the soup was clean.

    "Soup?" Shenyuan Zhengren realized that he might have missed the essence of a dish. He couldn't help but put down the chopsticks, took a small spoon, and took a spoonful of clear soup in the bowl.

    When the broth is imported, the pores of the original human body are stretched and stretched out. It seems that after a hot spring bath, the mysterious heat flows under the cortex.

    "Bovine bone..."

    "Pepper, cinnamon, grass fruit, ginger skin..."

    "Wait, in addition to beef bones, there is the taste of beef liver? A little chicken soup... 咦, and radish slices, is to absorb grease Let the soup color clear and clear?" With

    his eyes closed, he said to himself, Shenyuan is half-opening his eyes, looking down at half of the beef noodles in front of him, and then looking at the old man standing next to him.

    "Summer boss, your grandson, isn't really a chef?" Shenyuan is unbelievable.

    In terms of taste and taste, this bowl of noodles even surpassed the one he had eaten half an hour ago.

    They are all beef noodles, one is made by grandfather, and the other is made by grandson. According to the level of cooking, the latter is definitely far less than the former. The most direct expression of cooking is the dish.

    However, the two bowls of beef noodles before and after completely broke the common sense of God's heart.

    What's more, he is very aware of the skill level of the old man, and thus he is even more incredible.

    "Not a chef." The old man glared at a face, making it hard to see his inner thoughts. "...the chef is not. To be honest, this is my grandfather, the first time he eats him. The dishes are made." The

    old man glanced at the big bowl that was empty on the table, and his heart was also relishing.

    "You are very lucky, Mr. Godhara."

    "Lucky?"

    "Yes, such a good virgin dish, don't you feel lucky?" The old man squinted slightly.

    The original God Mo Ming felt a chill, and suddenly the chicken nodded like a glutinous rice: "Lucky, very lucky!"

    Xia Yu is cleaning the tableware in the kitchen, and did not deliberately pay attention to the store conversation.

    Ding.

    With the prompt of a system, he completed the initial task of the kitchen god system, and the "Magic Mapo Tofu" recipe appeared in the inventory space.

    "Learning!"

    Xia Yu used the recipe, and a stream of information was stuffed into his head, and his eyes cleared empty after a few seconds.

    "Soybean, broth, tofu, pepper, chili, minced garlic..."

    The material needed for the recipe was read in the heart. The detailed cooking steps were like the movie being repeated in the brain. Xia Yu could not help but try.

As the story progresses I will try to integrate more.

The Nuggets are coming, even the Rockets' coaching staff meeting and assistant coaches are talking about this matter anxiously.

To know that they bear the brunt, during the schedule, after Christmas, they will play with the Nuggets twice a week.

"Okay, guys, let your head be on holiday, it will be Christmas soon." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Seeing Tang Tian's reaction, the coaches' hearts were also stable.

Tang Tian has taken this team to play beyond expectations, as long as he is there, everything is not a problem.

After the regular meeting, the coaching staff also ushered in a rare day off.

Christmas in the United States is similar to the Spring Festival in China.

"Don, are you alone on Christmas?" Thibodeau said when he got up.

"No, I went back to my aunt's house. It seemed like I hadn't gone back in half a year." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Are Christmas gifts ready?" Thibodeau then asked. He asked if they were afraid that Tang Tian did not understand American Christmas culture.

"Everything is ready, just wait for Santa to knock on the door." Tang Tian said jokingly.

Thibodeau smiled and said "Merry Christmas", then went out.

Tang Tian packed and packed things and went outside.

When I walked to the door, I saw that Yao Ming didn't know when he was coming, and was talking with Thibodeau.

Seeing Tang Tian, ​​Yao Ming and Thibodeau said a few words, and then walked towards him.

"Coach, Merry Christmas." Yao Ming said with a smile.

"Merry Christmas."

"Coach, do you have time at noon? I want to invite the whole team and the coaching staff to have lunch at Yao Restaurant." Yao Ming continued.

Americans like to have a party on Christmas Eve, and Yao Ming has gone to the country to follow the custom.

"Yes." Tang Tian nodded.

The restaurant Yao was opened by Yao Ming 's parents and some investors in 2005. Because of Yao Ming 's popularity in Houston, there are especially many fans. Today is Christmas again, and there are long queues outside the restaurant. .

However, the owner of Yao Ming naturally didn't have to wait in line. The bus took them to the restaurant's largest box.

Soon after they sat down, the dishes that had already been prepared were served one after another.

Stewed prawns, dried shredded chicken, lion's head with crab powder, five-spiced smoked fish, brine shrimp, five-grain Fengdeng Babao duck ...

The main colors of Yao restaurant are Sichuan and Yang cuisine, and this big table is basically full.

The team members are eager to try, and many of them are exposed to Chinese food for the first time.

The process of learning to use chopsticks is naturally indispensable, and the players are also embarrassed, like Spanolis. Finally, they can't grasp it. They can only use a fork to cause others to laugh.

When it was time to eat, the players nodded frequently when they ate, and the evaluation of deliciousness never stopped.

This is the charm of Chinese food, far superior to those monotonous Western food.

Halfway through the meal, Yao Ming brought a large plate with more than 20 bowls of wontons.

"This is my mother's cooking, and also added some of their own recipes, everyone try." Yao Ming said.

After he finished speaking, the players immediately burst into cheers. Yao Ming's mother made it personally. The meaning of this gift is obviously different.

Tang Tian had n't eaten wontons after crossing, and after eating it was really a bit different, and I did n't know what exclusive recipes were added.

After eating the ravioli, McGrady gave Millsap a wink. The guy went to the next room and moved out two large boxes.

"Hey guys, this is a pair of earphones that I have recently scouted." Tracy McGrady pulled out a headphone from the box.

"The latest model of skullcandy, I have personally experienced it, and the sound quality is first-rate."

Skullcandy, this brand Tang Tian knew that in the past life, NBA players like the earphone brand, one is magic sound, the other is skullcandy, Ross, Irving, Harden, Durant are all his loyal customers.

It's just that the skullcandy came out in 2003, and the value is about $ 200. At the same time, McGrady made a big effort, but also thought about it.

The players cheered when they received the gift.

After McGrady, some players sent things one after another.

Looking at the atmosphere underneath, Tang Tian was also in a very good mood.

Such a team is destined to make a big difference this year.

After the party ended, Tang Tian then drove back to his aunt's house.

An ordinary family in Houston, because only Hathaway has a daughter, they treat Tang Tian as if they were a pro son.

"God, you are getting thinner, is it hard to be a coach in the NBA?"

"You see, you have a lot of hair loss. You have to rest early in the future. I don't want you to be the Jeff Van Gundy on TV."

...

I haven't seen it in more than half a year, so it's inevitable that the regular guest set.

In the past six months after the journey, Tang Tian was basically busy with the coach's affairs. It has been a long time since he has enjoyed the warmth of his home, and the owner of this body is an orphan, which is already his home.

Turkey, Christmas salmon, prosciutto, corn soup, gingerbread, red wine ...

In the afternoon, Tang Tian and Hathaway both helped to fight, and were preparing for Christmas in the evening.

Eating a Christmas dinner is only a result, and the process of preparing for it is where the fun lies.

The warm family makes Tang Tian feel unprecedentedly warm.

By night, the surrounding streets were all decorated with the lights of the Christmas tree, and Houston became exceptional.

After they had prayed for the New Year, they started to eat.

Tang Tian behaved casually, which is also a way to narrow the distance between him and his family.

My aunt's smile has never stopped. Although I don't know what happened in the past six months, such a nephew is obviously much better than the previous hoist.

They waited for the New Year's bell when they had dinner and packed their utensils.

Tang Tian and Hathaway stood on the balcony to see the scenery.

"I haven't seen my parents so happy in a long time." Hathaway looked at Tang Tian and said.

"Is it?" Tang Tian said with a smile, and honestly he didn't know what this house looked like before.

Hathaway nodded.

"No way, who told me to speak." Tang Tian said jokingly.

Hathaway was amused by Tang Tian's words.

When the laughter stopped, she looked straight at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was seen a little weird, and he touched his mouth with his hand and said, "Did I not wipe my mouth clean?"

"No, I found you really changed a lot." Hathaway said.

"Human, will it always change?" Tang Tian said with a little guilty conscience.

"Well, you have become better and better." But Hathaway's words made him relieved. It seemed that what she said had changed.

Just then, there was a Christmas song not far away.

They looked up and saw that twenty or thirty people were walking on the street, singing Christmas songs to the door of a house.

After singing for a while, the door opened, and then two children ran out of the door and joined it.

Kaya's controversy worsened. Any website related to Grand Chef talked about Kaya's past.

Not many people thought Tess Gilly was delusional. She even posted a photo of the scar on her chin, and she claimed Kaya did it. People didn't think to assume she was lying since she even posted a photo.

The netizens were split. While some were suspicious about whether Tess Gilly was telling the truth, others just took her word for it and cussed out Kaya. The facts were simple. They were classmates, friends, and they were currently on bad terms. At the same time, it was also Kaya who caused the scar on Tess Gilly's chin. Countless 'classmates' confirmed it online. The problem was that it was hard to confirm if those classmates were really their classmates.

Hilary Hahn: There's no reason to overthink it. Even if she caused that scar on her face, it's not right to accuse someone without knowing the truth.

LGE: What kind of story do you need to hear to accept that scar? That's unacceptable no matter what the circumstances were.

Erika Vlados: @LGE She's just saying it's dumb to talk about it before it's confirmed. If she really did do something wrong, she would've gone to juvie, but she didn't.

This is how it went. There wasn't enough information to be certain. But of course, some thought it was enough to criticize her, but people like that simply tainted their own reputation and became the target of laughter and criticism.

"It'll be fine once time passes."

Martin mumbled over and over. Robert frowned because he couldn't understand.

"Can't we just reveal the truth? It's not all good, but if we just tell them everything, more people will understand."

"But if we don't tell them anything, it'll feel iffy, but they'll forget. And as for the truth, besides Kaya's side of the story, we don't have any proper evidence. If we make an announcement without evidence, it could backfire on us. Trust me. This is for the best. Best for Kaya and best for the show."

According to Kaya, the scar on Tess' chin was the result of a two-sided fight, and the reason why she was the one to be expelled was simple.

Grand Chef had yet to make a formal statement on the matter. To be more exact, they simply gave a neutral answer. 'We're looking into it. What Tess Gilly claimed conflicts the truth that we've found out.' And they didn't reveal anything in detail. They had to take some time to watch the public's response.

And the result wasn't all bad. Once the 10th episode showcasing the dessert mission was aired, Kaya's middle school incident started to be forgotten. Of course, some people still liked to drag it on, but at this point, it wasn't a problem.

Martin massaged the back of his neck. His head hurt. The best thing they could do at this moment was wait. If it died down, that was the end of that, and if it came back to the surface, they had to pop it down themselves. No matter which outcome, this wasn't the time for it.

"Forget it. Let's prepare for the mission. There weren't many interesting scenes in the dessert episode. Min Joon saved it by recreating the jelly perfectly, but we can't rely on him forever. This time, let's get more viewers hooked."

"… Ugh, someone else will go home today. It always hurts to see it."

Martin smirked.

"Worry about yourself. Anyone can get disqualified in life. Do you think you'll be in that producer position forever?"

***

"It's all about you again."

Anderson growned and exited out of the window on his phone. It was understandable. He came up with a recipe after eating a dish once. There was no way other contestants got any spotlight after that. Cho Min Joon smirked and asked, "Are you jealous?"

"Not exactly. It's normal to hate seeing other people succeed."

"Seeing how you're saying that with a straight face… You're just like Kaya."

"… Stop it."

He really didn't want to hear it. Cho Min Joon smiled and picked up a skewer, but it wasn't a chicken or lamb skewer. On the stick were parma ham, tomato, and toasted bread. It was an Italian dish called bruschetta. It was a simple dish, but as soon as it entered his mouth, the salty parma ham and the olive oil spread throughout his entire mouth… And after that, the unique scent of the toasted bread took over. He exclaimed with joy.

"I didn't know bread could taste this good…"

"Bread is a basic in Europe. Just like how rice is basic in Asia."

"In my country, bread is more like a snack than a main meal."

"I know. You told me last time."

"… Did I?"

Cho Min Joon smiled with embarrassment and put a piece of bruschetta in his mouth. This time, it was just a piece of bread with olive oil on top. What was fascinating was that it was delicious, but then again, since rice and sesame oil tasted great on their own, it was a similar idea.

He glanced over at Kaya. She put a piece of Sasha's cheesecake into her mouth with a tired look on her face. She said she was sick and didn't have an appetite, so she couldn't even enjoy the dish that she made. Cho Min Joon showed a sad look on his face. She tried not to show it, but she was clearly having a hard time.

He felt bad, but there was nothing he could do for her. Hugo saw Cho Min Joon's face and cautiously asked, "Do you think Kaya's okay?"

"Of course not. There are so many mean comments about her. Kaya's still young. She's 18 years old."

"… Come to think of it, Kaya's the youngest contestant among the surviving ones."

Hugo looked at Kaya with surprise. She acted young, but since she always put on heavy make up and frowned, he never realized it, and she was very talented. A contender to win the whole thing, so it was hard to treat her like a normal teenager.

"Who's the oldest here?"

"I'm not sure. Isn't it Sasha? I think she's 28? Anderson is 22, you're 21, and how old is Chloe, again?"

"21… I didn't notice this, but all of the remaining contestants are pretty young. I thought there would have been some people in their 30s."

"That just means we're that good."

Hugo smirked with confidence. At that moment, Robert approached the table. Everyone's faces stiffened up. Whenever the youngest PD showed up, it always meant one thing. Out of Robert's mouth came out what they all expected to hear.

"The mission will start in 2 hours. Get ready."

Robert disappeared after that one remark. Kaya, who watched him blankly, knitted her brows.

"I lost my appetite."

"Me, too."

Sasha answered with a sad voice and cupped her chin. Chloe thought deeply and then glanced at Cho Min Joon.

"… What do you think the mission will be, Min Joon? You got it right last time."

"I'm not sure. I don't have an idea today."

"Do you get some kind fo special feeling for stuff like this?"

"Of course."

He answered with an awkward look on his face. Even if things happened the way it originally did, his memory was hazy, and it seemed like the judges were trying to make the missions more difficult these days. If the mission changed, his memory was useless. Chloe smirked and said, "I hope we get a mission related to Chinese food."

"… If that happens, we'll all fail except for you."

"I'm allowed to think selfishly, aren't I?"

Chloe stuck out her lip. Cho Min Joon laughed. If it was anyone else, it would have sounded selfish, but hearing Chloe say it made it cute.

But whether she was selfish or not, Chloe's wish wasn't going to come true. That lunch, the mission that the judges announced was very different.

"There are two themes to this mission. The first one is fire."

Emily spoke in a serious voice. Despite her efforts, it didn't sound all that serious, but since she was a judge, even the sound of her breathing made everyone tense. Everyone stared at Emily. Emily took a moment to soak it in before continuing.

"Fire brought civilization to mankind. Yes, that's also what created cooking. As a result, many dishes use fire. Roasting, poaching, simmering, sautee, broil, grill… Just listing them all takes quite a bit of energy. You must use one ingredient and cook it using three different methods. And the ingredient is…"

Emily paused again, but she didn't do it on purpose. Emily gulped and continued with an embarrassed smile, "I'm salivating just thinking about it. The ingredient is pork. You can grill it to be crispy on the outside, or fry it after putting batter over it. It's also good to put it in a stew to make the savory flavor come alive. Whatever you choose, I hope you make your best dishes."

"You have 2 hours to cook. We'll give you 30 minutes to come up with a recipe, so please make your decision by then."

Allan calmly spoke after Emily. 30 minutes. While he thought about how that wasn't enough time for 3 different methods, Joseph continued, "If all three of your dishes go well together, we'll give you extra points, but the most important aspect is quality. Please make your best dishes, Aand think of your recipes. You have 30 minutes."

Cho Min Joon did his best to think. 2 hours. 3 dishes. The pork came with all portions, but they butchered it in a way that suited Western cuisine, not Korean.

But he still had many choices. There were so many that he couldn't choose, and with so many different options, there were many recipes to consider. While spending time with the other contestants, he came to learn all sorts of secret recipes and know-hows. If he combined that knowledge, he could yield good results.

Cho Min Joon closed his eyes. Countless recipes popped up in front of his eyes and then disappeared. He didn't realize it, but they were passing at lightning speed. Since 2 recipes flashed by in just a second, he was 10 times faster than the others at coming up with recipes, but of course, the others took the recipes of other people or what they tried before…

When he opened his eyes, 5 minutes had already passed. Cho Min Joon organized the recipes inside his head. The first dish was Hong Kong-style fried pork belly in soy sauce, and many cooking methods were used for it. It was boiled, fried, sliced up, and then cooked down in a sauce. The second dish was a meatball cooked in balsamic dressing and paprika, and the third was pork ribs cooked with barbeque. The composition score was 6…

Cho Min Joon laughed. When it came to coming up with recipes, he significantly improved since he first started in the competition, and the predicted score for all the dishes were the same.

8 points.

Because of his love for cooking, he had thrown away his career as a teacher and had become a chef.
But despite his desires, his lack of cooking skills was the harsh truth he had to face.
But when he reached the age of 30, he had been sent back 7 years back into the past.
Another chance.

The most famous Chinese imperial cuisine restaurant in Beijing was Fangshang Restaurant in Beihai, and had over eighty years of history. Even though it had stopped operating for a while many years back, they were able to preserve their original recipes.
Feng Zhixiang led Ling Ran in through the main hall so that they could take a look at the imperial-style interior design of the restaurant. He then said with a smile, "I've talked to the people running the restaurant so that they'll ask their head chef to make our dishes. Do give them a try. By the way, Academician Zhu, you've stayed in the south for a long time, haven't you? Are you okay with northern dishes?"
"Certainly. I'm okay with them." Zhu Tongyi, too, cut an authoritative figure as he nodded and said, "The buildings in the north are large and elegant, unlike the small buildings in the south. They feel very crowded and stuffy. However, those in the south put more effort into cooking, and this is why southern dishes have a more delicate taste to them."
"I like Suzhou cuisine too." Feng Zhixiang had no intention to argue with Academician Zhu about whether Southern or Northern cuisine tasted better. He smiled and said, "Some of the dim sum you eat in Beijing has been modified by chefs from the south, and the origin of the Peking opera can be traced to the Huiban opera. [1] Besides, a lot of people in Beijing enjoy Huaiyang cuisine." [2]
There was finally a hint of a smile on Zhu Tongyi's face, which made him look ten years younger than his actual age. He nodded and said, "You're being objective indeed."
"All right, let's give the Chinese imperial cuisine in Beijing a try and judge it objectively." As Feng Zhixiang spoke, he led Zhu Tongyi and Ling Ran into a private lounge. There were already three people inside there, and they immediately rose to welcome the newcomers.
"Little Fatty over here is our driver this time." Feng Zhixiang pointed at the plump resident doctor who had lost some weight and weighed in at 266 pounds today. He then pointed at the man beside the plump resident doctor and said, "Department Director Li Yuan is the department director of the General Surgery Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University, and he has been wanting to meet Ling Ran. This is…"
"My name is Qu Yue, and I'm the sales executive of Vital Health." Qu Yue who was dressed very much like a gold collar worker would be paying for the food, and she was very good with words.
"Why don't you guys take a seat first?"
Everyone introduced themselves to each other, and someone offered Feng Zhixiang a glass of spirit, of which he politely rejected. Feng Zhixiang then started a topic, and everyone started chatting.
He knew how Ling Ran was like as a person, and he knew that Ling Ran did not like to operate on ordinary cancer patients. He was worried that they would do something wrong and Ling Ran would refuse to operate on Xu Jinyi. At that time, he would not know what to do.
Qu Yue smiled and raised her hand to call a waitress. She said, "Can you repeat my orders? Why don't you guys see if you have anything to add?"
"All right." The waitress was a not-so-young woman. She lowered her head to look at her notepad. "You ordered Empress Dowager Cixi quadruple plate, braised sea cucumber with scallion, Spirit of a Dragon, sauteed fish fillets…"
After the waitress repeated all the orders, Qu Yue looked at everyone, especially Ling Ran, with a bright smile. "Do you guys want to add anything?"
"That's enough. There's a lot of dishes, and it'll be impossible for us to finish all of them." Zhu Tongyi seemed like he wanted to laugh as he looked at Qu Yue.
People always treated doctors like royalty when they had a favor to ask. This was something all doctors were very used to.
Zhu Tongyi was rather curious about what Qu Yue wanted, to the point that she would spend a few thousand RMB treating them to a meal.
Ling Ran, though, did not ponder about Qu Yue's intention. He merely said, "It's too much food indeed."
"Don't worry about it." Qu Yue waved and gestured to the waitress to start preparing their food. She then quickly continued, "Doctor Ling, with so many surgeries every day, you're probably very tired lately…"
"I haven't been operating on that many patients lately." Ling Ran pouted a little as he said this. In comparison, when he was in Changxi Province, he got to carry out freelance surgery a lot more frequently and could operate on patients in Yun Hua Hospital too. The hospitals in Beijing took a lot of things into consideration, and he only got to operate on a patient or two every time he went for a freelance surgery.
If it were not for the fact that Zuo Cidian, Zhang Anmin, and the others were very excited about performing surgeries in Beijing and withheld him from leaving, Ling Ran would have gone back to the south already.
Feng Zhixiang cleared his throat before quickly changing the topic and talking about Chinese imperial cuisine.
Li Yuan effortlessly joined the conversation.
Li Yuan was already a little over the age of sixty and rarely acted as chief surgeon nowadays, but he often met various people. Together with Qu Yue and the picky Academician Zhu Tongyi, the atmosphere in the private lounge soon became lively.
Ling Ran enjoyed the food very much too.
If a person were to convert the popularity and taste of food from various areas into data, if you disregard the flavor, Beijing food would probably score so highly that it was ranked as one of the top cuisines in the country. However, Beijing food was by no means bad in quality. 
This was especially true for dishes that originated from other areas but became renowned in Beijing. 
Braised sea cucumber with scallions was one of them. Aside from its expensive price tag, one could not find any fault with it. It was also one of the most iconic braised dishes among Shandong cuisine, and its fame was on par with that of braised pig intestines. Braised sea cucumber with scallions could be likened to a young Leonardo DiCaprio, while braised pig intestines could be likened to a middle-aged Arnold Schwarzenegger. The former was so hot that it could drive young women mad, and many young women dreamed about locking him up in their homes and hiding them from the world so that they could have him alone. The latter could have nine s*x partners a day if he wanted to, and if he were a dish, that dish alone would be enough to fill up the bellies of everyone at the table.
Ling Ran felt rather satisfied as he savored the tender braised sea cucumber with scallions. However, he somehow missed Boss Shao a little.
The food in Fangsheng Restaurant was pretty good, and the decor was beautiful too. But in Boss Shao's restaurant, aside from ordering the food available on the menu, there were always things to look forward to.
The barbeque in Boss Shao's restaurant was pretty good. Moreover, the customers there were always in for a surprise, as Boss Shao would always greet them with new arrivals such as bamboo rats as well as freshly slaughtered baby lambs and cows.
As Ling Ran thought of this, he could not help but whip out his phone and look at Boss Shao's WeChat timeline. Boss Shao had posted the photograph of an X-ray scan two days ago.
"Colles' fracture!" When Ling Ran saw the X-ray scan, he could not help but call out the name. 
"Doctor Ling, does the food not suit your taste buds?" When Qu Yue saw that Ling Ran was using his phone, she was astonished. This was because three renowned doctors were present in the private lounge. Other junior doctors who were Ling Ran's place would probably...
Her gaze fell upon the plump resident doctor beside her. Ever since they started eating, the plump resident doctor had been refilling everyone's glasses with water or alcohol every time they became empty. The way he served everyone diligently provided a sharp contrast to Ling Ran's demeanor.
"Doctor Ling, why don't you give this kung pao chicken a try? I specifically ordered it. It looks ordinary, like something you can get in any restaurant, but it's actually a Chinese imperial cuisine. It's different from the kung pao chicken you get in Shangdong and Sichuan restaurants. Nowadays, they often serve this dish in state banquets." As Department Director Li Yuan spoke, he took a clean spoon and scooped some kung pao chicken for Ling Ran.
"Yeah, I've tried it. It tastes really good." Ling Ran was pretty satisfied with the flavor of the food. Even though it was not the best that he had tasted lately, it could be considered one of his better meals.
"Ling Ran, you might not know that Department Director Li is Xu Jinyi's teacher. Yes, I've taught Xu Jinyi before too." When Feng Zhixiang saw that everyone was already full, he decided to put down his chopsticks.
Li Yuan put down his chopsticks too. He said in a sentimental manner, "Back when Xu Jinyi was my student, he often spoke of Department Director Feng. At that time, we were conducting research related to the pancreas and treating patients with pancreatic problems. Every time we finally got a break, it would be so late that all the restaurants around the hospital had closed, so we had no choice but to be contented with some steamed buns."
"There was no food delivery yet at that time." Qu Yue covered her mouth as she spoke and giggled.
"We even found instant noodles expensive. You know, only doctors who make it high up the ladder make a lot of money." Li Yuan paused for a moment and said, "Xu Jinyi is probably at the prime of his life now… He's a department director, and his skills are better than ever. The hospital he's at is willing to support him too, so it's really time for him to spread his wings."
"That's right."
"When you think about it, doctors are pretty pitiful creatures. Even though they have the energy to have fun when they were young, they did not have the time and money for it. By the time they are fifty or sixty and finally have all the money in the world, they won't have the energy to have fun anymore." Li Yuan shook his head.
"Department Director Xu Jinyi is suffering from cancer. Liver cancer." Feng Zhixiang looked at Ling Ran and said, "He would like you to operate on him."
"Hepatectomy?" Ling Ran put down his chopsticks too.
"Yes." Feng Zhixiang nodded.
Zhu Tongyi cleared his throat a few times and said, "Both of you are his teachers, right? Why aren't you taking all the factors into consideration? Department Director Xu is less than sixty years old, isn't he? Even after he receives hepatectomy, there might still be a recurrence in the future. Instead of wasting time on selecting a chief surgeon, he should receive surgery immediately."
Ling Ran hummed in agreement. "Receiving surgery as soon as possible is the best course of action."
Feng Zhixiang said, "After receiving hepatectomy, Xu Jinyi plans to receive follow-up treatment at Anderson Cancer Center in the United States. He's racing against time to get the paperwork done right now. Anderson Cancer Center has the best cancer treatment plans in the world. So, if you're willing to operate on Xu Jinyi, he could be said to be getting all the best possible treatments available in the world…"
"But that wouldn't ensure his survival." Ling Ran shook his head. The fact that nothing was guaranteed was the cruelest part of cancer.
"Xu Jinyi would be satisfied," Feng Zhixiang said, "Sometimes, isn't the patient's satisfaction all that matters?"
Ling Ran was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Tongyi cleared his throat again.
"Department Director Xu will continue working after he's back in the country." Feng Zhixiang stopped Zhu Tongyi from saying anything. "The people in Beijing would always remember the fact that the department director of the General Surgery Department of Donghuang Regional Hospital immediately got back to work after receiving hepatectomy from Doctor Ling Ran."


Ling Ran, a med school senior, begins to see the world like a game UI. He uses it to pave his way towards graduation, a residency, becoming the greatest doctor in the world... And finally getting a Transformer from his newbie packs? Maybe. We don't know yet.

Chapter 87 – Public Demonstration

Within the auction hall, many merchants and wealthy men from yesterday auction were present. They were attracted by the advertised "New Products" which was written in the schedule board at the side of the auction hall. 

The Yuan family representatives and the five merchant alliance were here as well. They returned to their VIP section that they had been assigned with yesterday.

Meanwhile, the one hundred civilian representatives, who were invited by Tong, were being intimidated by the environment and sat in groups while they looked around in nervousness. 

On the stage, the workers arranged tables, cooking stoves, pots, utensils, and pans as if they were building a kitchen. 

The crowd gazed at the stage in confusion. They were wondering if they were trying to cook a food on the stage. 

Tong walked up on the stage later after the setting was completed. 

He did not talk to any staffs or the audience. Tong simply brought out vegetables, raw chickens, dough, and spice then started to cook. He ordered his staffs to help him with the basic boiling, cutting and other mundane tasks as if he were Gord*n Rams*y.

The crowd was puzzled. Tong really cooked on the stage! They had no idea what to think anymore.

Suddenly, the tempting scent of fried chicken got into the noses of everyone. They stopped talking with each other and concentrated of the event on the stage. 

For an hour, Tong cooked 10 different kinds of dishes. Each dish was poured into a 60x30cm size tray and was placed on the narrow table in front of the stage. 

The audience drooled while their stomach growled. The aroma was unbearable. They wanted to jump out of their seats and ate everything on the table. If it was not for the scary security guards patrolling at the side and in front of the table, they would not hesitate to rush out. 

The staffs walked out with hundreds of small empty plates. They put a small amount of food on each dish onto the plates and served them to the drooling crowd. 

The merchant, who had been focusing his attention on the buffet trays, got impatient. He grabbed the plate and took a spicy chicken wing into his mouth. The moment he took a bite, he moaned out in ecstasy. He hallucinated about himself wearing a chicken suit and danced around in the grassland. 

The person nearby saw his friend reaction and was shocked. He questioned in his mind if this food could make his idiotic friend turn even more stupid. Then he took a piece of strange bread with a sticky yellowish thing on top of it into his mouth. The sensation of cheese, bread, ketchup, and various spice made his eyes opened wide. He also hallucinated that he was wearing strange black and white clothes and was propelling a small boat on the river which had town building on both sides. 

The two of them came back to their sense after a minute. They noticed a writing on a sign beside the tray. The first one said "New Orleans Chicken Wings", and the second one was "Super Cheese Pizza".

The staffs continued to serve the food sample to everyone until the food in the 10 trays was empty.

Ten minutes later, the auction hall was in chaos. Although the sample food that Tong distributed to the audience had run out, the spoiled merchants and nobles demanded a second serving. Meanwhile, the timid merchants and the citizen representatives only glanced around at the empty food trays with pitiful eyes. 

Tong clapped his hands to get their attention. 

"May I have your attention, please?"

The ruckus stopped and all eyes were on Tong on the stage. They calmed themselves down and paid attention to the speaker. 

"What I cooked and served all of you just now was part of the demonstration of the new products that the city hall will sell."

The ears of the merchants perked up. The food just now was otherworldly. They had never had eaten something like those before in their lives. If the food was the new product, they would totally buy it for themselves. 

"Are you selling that food?"
"Those chicken wings, are you selling them?"
"I'll buy the noodles. I meant the "Pasta"!"
"I'll reserve "Pizza", "French Fries", and "Donuts"!"

Tong had not finished talking yet, but these people were already this impatience. He raised his both hands forward and tried to appease the crowd. 

"Please calm down everyone. I haven't finished yet. Please listen carefully. What we are selling is not the finished food that you have eaten, but the ingredients and the recipes."

The uproar got worse. Half of the audience stood up and began shouting, trying to buy the recipes and ingredients. Tong had to signal the guards to step forward and control the crowd. 

"Again, please be patient while I'm talking. By the way, all of you should have seen the weird buildings "Wall-Marked" and "Swing-Eleven" right?"

Everyone nodded. They were also curious about what these buildings were for and why it was located in the commercial areas or in the middle of residential areas. 

"Those buildings are the markets that are managed by the city government. Every product there belongs to the city hall and all incomes from the selling will be going to the city hall treasury."

Tong did not conceal or hide the purposes of those buildings. He intended to give the citizens an image which Zhang Jiao was a trustworthy and transparent governor, unlike the crook officials in the past. 

"All the recipes for this food will be posted on the public announcement boards around the city and in front of all city hall shops!"

"Nani!?"
"What!?"

The merchants could not believe their ears. Those recipes could easily be the trade secrets of any successful tavern, restaurant, or shop, yet Tong was going to give away the recipes for free?

"Secondly, the ingredients that are used in this food will be sold in the building "Swing-Eleven" and all necessary utensils will be selling at "Wall-Marked"."

The eyes of the merchants glittered. Their brains calculated and simulated countless business plans while they were listening to Tong as they found a business opportunity.

"I want everyone to take a look at the small bottles on the stage. These are the new items that have never appeared anywhere else before. The first bottle is pepper. It is used for …"

Tong narrated the description and the use of each type of spice. Because there were over 20 kinds of spice, chilies, and herbs on the stage, it took Tong an hour and a half to explain everything to the crowd. 

"I'll repeat again. These spice will be stocked in "Swing-Eleven" for everyone to buy. However, only citizens with identification token can buy the goods in there."

The merchants were shocked and disappointed by the sudden bad news while the group of citizens was delighted. 

The merchants wanted to buy them directly from Tong or planned to buy everything from the shops from the get-go. Yet, Tong stopped them before they made the move.

Meanwhile, the ordinary people could get their hands on such luxurious food by cooking it themselves, which gave them opportunities for their future if they wanted to open a food stall or sell it at their taverns. 

"As for those who wish to buy it in bulk, I'm afraid you will have to ask the Yuan Family for that. They have won the concession right from the auction, so in the agreement, they are the sole group that can buy all of the goods from Julu City Government in great amount."

All merchants turned their heads to look at the VIP section behind them where the Yuan family was located. 

The Yuan representative smiled as he was appreciated from Tong's advertisement. They were the only one who could buy the ingredients and resell them to the small-time merchants. 

The concession right that Tong had auction yesterday was nothing but a contract between a wholesaler and a distributor.

The wholesalers could guarantee that they could sell a large number of goods in one go, while the distributors got the goods in low cost and could profit from the price-margin by reselling them to the local markets. 

It was a win-win relationship at glance. However, Tong had planted a bomb inside the contract. It would not explode any time soon. But once the time was ripe, Tong would flip the switch, and the Yuan Family might even go bankrupt.  

Tong glanced at the VIP section where the Yuan members sat. He grinned at them.

'I've made you my biggest distributor, so you'd better dance for me, b*tches!' 

Although the Yuan family had done a number on Tong and his family, Tong put away his grudges from the past incidents for the greater benefits of the mass. 

Tong understood the way of the politic world. There was no eternal enemy nor forever ally, only the mutual benefits. As long as they could use each other, Tong also would not mind using his former enemy for his future growth. 

'Feng Ji. I'll do you a favor. I'll feed you till you're so fat that Yuan Shao will listen to everything you say! I'm going to use you for killing Tian Feng later in the future. Don't disappoint me!'

…

Feng Ji, who was sent as part of the representatives of the family, smirked as he glared back at Tong. 

'Do you think that I haven't found out what you are planning? Trying to sabotage our family strength by commerce? Humph, you are still wet behind the ears. You've underestimated our financial power! Thanks to you, our family will make a killing and my status will rise! Lord Yuan Shao will favor me over that Tian Feng! Zhang Tong, I'll use you as a stepping stone for the road of my greatness!'

Tong, a sinner who was suffering endless torment in hell because of his mistake he had done in his previous life, was giving other chance to redeem himself by the devil. 

All he had to do was participating in the redemption program, organized by the gods and the devils. He would be reincarnated as a random citizen of China during the end of the era of the East Han, and the prelude of the era of the Three Kingdoms. He would also retain his memory and a cheat skill that he designed for himself. 

Tong later found himself reincarnated as Zhang Tong, the son of the Yellow Turbans leader, Zhang Jiao. 

The problem didn't end with just the dilemma of the Yellow Turbans Army. It appeared that other than him, there were 99 others from the modern world that reincarnated into this timeline with him as well. 

This redemption program by the gods and devils didn't seem to be simple. There was definitely something fishy going on. 

Then the hidden agenda revealed itself to the reincarnators. Zhang Tong had to utilize everything by any means necessary to survive this ordeal.
--------------------------------------------------
Warning: It's a story with deranged characters that MC and friends won't get a smooth sailing life forever like the other typical WN novels. 

Patience and high tolerance are required for this novel. Constant nerfs, plot twisted, and changes in the story are expected. 

All RoTK fans should also be warned. I don't follow the trends of historical events. All characters and their thought won't be like in the 14th-century novel RoTK or Dynasty Warrior.

Again, I don't sell 100% wet-dreams in this novel. I mixed nightmares in it.

This series has ended.

Due to the copyrighted kinds of stuff, I changed my cover back to my first cover until I can get my hands on a better one.
