Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Everyone saw Cao Wei said so.

Forget it.

At best, they just thought Cao Wei couldn't speak.

No one really thought that Cao Wei didn't care about this exam.

Qin Jingru laughed with glee on the side.

Then her face was pinched by Cao Wei.

"Hey! Let me go. Why do you always learn bad things from bad women?"

Cao Wei rubbed her face. It must be said that over the years, Qin Jingru had become fatter because of him. Her cheeks had a little baby fat, but her skin was getting better and better. It felt very nice to touch and he couldn't let it go.

He pulled the angry Qin Jingru to find a place and sat down.

After a while, Qin Huairu also came over.

Today's exam is a big deal. No matter what, I'll take leave and let my two children finish the exam first.

"What do you think is going on in Banggeng?" Qin Huairu was not worried about her two daughters. Both of them had their own ideas. Moreover, Cao Wei was standing behind them to help them. Seeing the huge crowds of people today, she couldn't help but think of Banggeng.

"Doesn't he write to me often? If you really miss him, go and see him. It's not far from here."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes: "I know it's not far away. He said in the letter that he is very busy, so busy that he has no time to rest."

"Being busy isn't necessarily a bad thing."

----

At night, after a busy day, Master Cao coaxed Qin Jingru to sleep.

A man came to the backyard, smoking a cigarette, and called out softly in his heart: "System."

【I am here. 】

"View panel."

Emotional points:

Compared to the panel when the system was first obtained, Cao Wei’s panel is undoubtedly gorgeous.

According to the system, Cao Wei's current level is at the pinnacle of chef skills.

To be frank, not to mention the entire city, even in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, there are not many people in human society who can compete with him. This is what he has achieved through more than ten years of hard work.

But the problem is, no matter how much he learns or how much he tries, he cannot replicate the bowl of rice he cooked that day after Lou Xiao'e left, the bowl of rice that was filled with his personal emotions.

When his skills reach a certain level.

Start learning recipes.

Because the basic level has been reached, the recipes are also very easy to learn.

But the more I learn, the more problems I encounter.

He thought, should he really continue studying?

He asked the system this question.

The system asked Liu Angxing to answer.

That’s right, it’s Liu Angxing who sprinkled fluorescent powder on the dishes in the TV series “The Cooking Master Boy”.

Liu Angxing told Cao Wei that the so-called glow was not real glow, but a form of expression with the addition of mental power. Not everyone could do it. At least, in his world, only a small number of top chefs could do it.

"Then, how can I achieve this state?" Cao Wei asked his own question at that time.

"To be honest, your skills have been honed to this level. Among the chefs I have seen, even if you are not the best, you can still be ranked in the top three. What is even more valuable is that you are proficient in almost all skills. Different cuisines have different requirements for skills. Every chef has his own strengths, but you are different. You seem to have achieved omnipotence."

"But how long has it been since you felt happy about making a dish for yourself?"

This sentence made Cao Wei stunned on the spot.

"Every chef has his own pursuit. What is your pursuit? Is it to find the legendary recipe or to create your own dish? You are amazing. You have honed your skills to this level in a short time. However, you seem to have lost your pursuit as a chef. Some chefs will stay up all night to improve a dish and conduct millions of studies. Some chefs will travel through mountains and rivers to find the same seasoning. Some chefs will do their best to cook in order to see the satisfied smile of the guests. And you, Master Cao, your dishes are delicious, but I can't taste the taste of a chef in your dishes."

"You are like a machine. You taste good, look good, and smell good, but you are meaningless."

Liu Angxing’s words made Cao Wei think a lot.

once Upon a time.

He would get so angry that he would spend more than ten hours in the kitchen, holding the knife, because the potato shreds were cut into different sizes.

once Upon a time.

He would think that he was a natural, able to create delicious recipes and add some of his own ideas to the dishes, but ended up being chased across several blocks by the chef with a rolling pin.

once Upon a time.

When he was ready to serve delicious dishes to customers, he would hide behind the wall in fear and carefully observe the customers' expressions. When the customers ate his dishes and their mouths curled up slightly, he would clench his fists and wave them vigorously in the air. When the customers took a sip of soup and frowned slightly, he would also feel anxious.

And now?

calm.

The ancient well has no waves.

This basically describes his current cooking skills.

The "great success" level recognized by the system is the real "great success". For any dish, as long as he knows the recipe, the level of his cooking will definitely be no less than that of the strongest chef in the world.

But is this useful?

Strong, Cao Wei knew that he was strong.

But when it becomes strong to a certain degree, it becomes the realm of Dugu Qiubai.

It's boring.

"What are you thinking about?" A familiar voice came from behind.

A pair of hands stretched out from both sides and wrapped around Cao Wei's body.

I feel the heavy weight behind me.

Cao Wei threw away the burnt cigarette butt, his eyes deep: "I'm thinking, maybe it's not a good thing that I'm too talented."

"Pfft." Qin Huairu couldn't help laughing: "You are really shameless. Hey, what are you doing..."

Before he could finish laughing, Cao Wei picked him up and walked towards a small room in the corner.

For so many years, the small room has been there all the time. Qin Jingru or Qin Huairu would go and clean it when they were free. It was a kind of nostalgia.

"You still have the nerve to say I'm shameless. I remember many years ago, someone came to this little room despite the risk of being discovered by Aunt Jia. Did you know? Many years ago, Lou Xiao'e was standing behind the cabinet watching us."

Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned red: "Wha...what?"

"It's not like she hasn't seen it before."

"Can that be the same?!"

"Why is it different!" Cao Wei threw Qin Huairu onto the bed.

Outside the window, the night sky is clear and starry.

In the middle of winter, a wild cat came from nowhere and howled in the alley for most of the night.
