Chapter 140: The Chef of the Marshal's Mansion (Part 1)

Xue Po pointed to Nian Bing and said: "Take him to the kitchen, he will cook my lunch today, no one is allowed to help him, understand?"

"Yes, Marshal." The servant nodded to Nian Bing, turned around and walked out of the study first, Nian Bing saluted Xue Po and followed.

Looking at Nian Bing's leaving figure, Xue Po said to himself: "Xue Ji, Xue Ji, who is this person you introduced to me? It seems that I really need to ask clearly." Thinking of this , he summoned another servant and hurriedly wrote a letter, ordering the servant to send it to Ice and Snow City as quickly as possible.

The restaurant in the Marshal's Mansion is exclusively for Xue Po's family. At noon, Xueyu, who was already hungry, took her mother to the restaurant first. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a strong fragrance, and said in surprise: "It smells so good, what kind of dish is this?" When she saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't help being stunned. Can those on the table be called dishes? It was clearly a piece of art, and the only thing she knew was the plate of golden incense rings. Including the golden incense rings, there were only six dishes in total, but all of them were top-notch, just the color. The fragrance has already whetted Xueyu's appetite.

Mrs. Xue was also surprised. Looking at the delicate dishes in front of her, she asked doubtfully, "Is there a new chef in the mansion? It looks like the chef's skills are really good."

"It's a new chef, isn't it just me?" Nian Bing's voice sounded, and he walked in holding the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens Nine Dragon Supreme Ding that he was good at. The emerald-like Supreme Ding contained two-thirds Filled with pearls, emeralds and white jade porridge, carefully placed the Nine Dragons Supreme Tripod in the center of the dining table, Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "I wonder if my craftsmanship can satisfy Madam and Miss."

Xueyu looked at Nian Bing in surprise and said: "You are a chef? How did I remember that you were wearing a magic robe when you came here!"

Nian Bing smiled and said: "That's just pretending. I came from Qingfengzhai, so I am naturally a chef. This time, Uncle Xueji introduced me to the Marshal's Mansion to work."

Xue Po only came in from the outside at this time, and he also smelled the tangy aroma. As soon as he entered the door, he naturally saw Nian Bing, his wife, and daughter, and then looked at the unusually exquisite seven-course dishes on the table. Liang, although he has never had too high requirements for food, the seven dishes made by Nian Bing are really tempting, especially the Nine Dragon Supreme Tripod in the center, the fine carving is definitely not something that ordinary chefs can make.

Nian Bing smiled slightly, and said: "Marshal, please test my cooking skills. I think you will be satisfied." Although he didn't make his best seven-series meal, these seven dishes were his earliest. The Ice Fire Nine Heavens Cuisine created by each dish is meticulously crafted. If Xue Po cannot be satisfied with this, there are probably not many chefs in the entire Yangon Continent who can satisfy him.

Xue Po took a look at Nian Bing, walked to the main seat and sat down, Mrs. Xue hurriedly made a dinner for her husband and put it in front of her, Xue Yu couldn't wait any longer,

"Father, I ate it. It seems that the chef that uncle introduced to us is very good. Last time when we went to Ice and Snow City, you borrowed Uncle Ming Yuan from uncle, but uncle didn't agree anyway. Well, really send us a chef, I will be lucky in the future."

Xue Po said in a deep voice: "You girl, you have no demeanor at all. You don't look like a girl. Don't learn from your sister. Don't you want to be called a crazy girl? Eat."

Xueyu was obviously very afraid of Xue Po, stuck out her tongue, didn't dare to say anything, and immediately moved to the dishes on the table.

Nian Bing stood aside, and did not back out. Watching Xue Po's family of three eating the delicious food he made, his heart was agitated. How he wished he could share lunch with his parents too! But as long as I can remember, this simple request for ordinary people has never been realized.

"Wow, it's delicious, what's it made of? It tastes so fresh, I've never eaten such a good thing. It seems to be better than Uncle Mingyuan's." Xueyu tasted Binghuo Bajixian After that, he couldn't help but exclaimed again. However, Xue Ji did not stop this time, because he was also shocked by Nian Bing's cooking skills. The seven dishes on the table are not only good-looking, but also have a unique taste. The seemingly ordinary ingredients have been processed by Nian Bing and turned into delicious delicacies. Every bite has a different feeling. Even the most common rice is full of aroma.

Seeing Xue Po pick up a golden incense ring, Nian Bing smiled and said: "Slender hands rub it into jade, fry it in green oil to make a deep yellow, night comes to spring sleep, it's not important, and it's hard to wear gold around a beautiful woman's arm. A good golden incense ring, not only It must be golden in color, and at the same time, it must be fragrant, crispy, and crisp, and it will break at the slightest touch.

Xue Po didn't speak, he put the golden incense ring into his mouth and took a bite. As Nian Bing said, it was fragrant, crispy and crisp, and it would break with the slightest touch. The rich aroma made him unable to hold back the golden incense ring They ate them all. The food on the table kept decreasing, whether it was Xue Po, Mrs. Xue and Xue Yu, it was the first time for them to eat so much food, including the Nine Dragon Supreme Tripod served by Nian Bing at the end, all seven delicacies were unexpectedly gone. Watching the family of three eat the last food, Nian Bing smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Marshal, for your approval."

Xue Po glanced at Nian Bing, and said, "How do you know I'm praising you?"

Nian Bing smiled and said: "For a chef, the food he made is eaten up, which is naturally the greatest compliment, isn't it? Marshal Xue?"

Xue Po nodded to Nian Bing. Although he had some doubts about Nian Bing's identity, being able to cook such a table of delicious food is definitely not something that can be done by learning how to cook in a day or two. In his Marshal's Mansion, there is no chef With such skill, even if someone wants to help him, it is impossible. After tasting Nian Bing's craftsmanship, the doubts in his heart could not help but reduce a bit, "Okay, you have passed the test, from now on, you are a chef in my Marshal's Mansion, but you have to remember, my Marshal's Mansion The family law is very strict, if there is any violation, don't blame my ruthless subordinates. How much do you want to pay?"

Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "Marshal, the remuneration doesn't matter to me. Money is just a fleeting moment, but I have a small request. I will come to the Marshal's Mansion as a cook, but I will only cook dinner from now on. I just arrived in Ice Moon City , I want to go around and have more discussions with the famous chefs in Ice Moon City. So, please allow me, Marshal, I will not be in the mansion during the day."

Before Xue Po could speak, Xue Yu at the side said with some dissatisfaction: "Then you can't make lunch for us. Oh, by the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Nian Bing. Marshal, I wonder if you can agree to this condition?" Although Nian Bing was answering Xue Yu's question, he kept looking at Xue Po.

Xue Po's eyes flashed, and he said: "Okay, you are only allowed to cook dinner, you were introduced by Xueji, I will not treat you badly, from now on you will pay twenty gold coins per month, and let the housekeeper arrange a place for you .” After speaking, he got up and walked out of the restaurant. As soon as Xue Po left, Xue Yu immediately jumped up, leaned towards Nian Bing and said, "Nian Bing, your cooking skills are so superb. Are you better than Uncle Ming Yuan?"

Nian Bing smiled and said: "You can't say that, Chef Ming Yuan and I have our own strengths. Miss, I'll take my leave first." After speaking, he saluted Mrs. Xue and left the restaurant. Deciding to stay in Xue Po Mansion as a chef, Nian Bing naturally has his own ideas. If he wants to change the sky, he will naturally enter the chaotic political situation of Ice Moon Empire. In the mansion, you can avoid many unnecessary troubles for yourself, which will greatly benefit your actions.

After finding the butler to arrange a place for him to live in, Nian Bing left Xue Po's Marshal's Mansion and returned to the hotel. Mao Mao and Bing Yun had already returned. When he heard the door from his side, Mao Mao ran over quickly. Dissatisfied: "Brother Nian Bing, what did you do?"

Nian Bing smiled and said: "My brother went to find a job, and he can't do nothing!"

"Errands? Do you mean work? Where does my brother work!" Mao Mao asked curiously.

Nian Bing smiled slightly, and said: "Don't ask me about this, my brother found a job as a chef, but I will only go there to work at night, and I will come back the next morning. Mao Mao is with you Sister Yun will live here first, or do you want to go home?"

"I don't want to go home. Sister Bingyun is fine. I bought a lot of good things for Maomao today. Brother Nianbing, wait a moment." She turned around and ran out when she came back. , already had an extra fur coat in his hand. The fur was brownish yellow, and the fine short hair exuded a faint brilliance. It looked like a valuable item. Mao Mao handed the fur coat to Nian Bing, "Brother, I bought this for you. It's cold, why do you always wear so little? Brother, you must be working hard, your hair is all white."

After receiving the soft fur coat, Nian Bing felt warm in his heart. He knew that Mao Mao was sincerely treating him well, "Thank you, Mao Mao, my brother's gray hair is not because of tiredness. Mao Mao, this coat cost you a lot of money." Right. How can my brother want your things?"

Mao Mao giggled, and said: "It's okay, Mao Mao has no money. Sister Guan Bingyun borrowed the money. Sister Bingyun helped me choose this dress. She said that snow raccoon fur is the best for keeping warm." .Brother, put it on quickly and try to see if it fits."

Nian Bing couldn't bear to resist Mao Mao's kindness, so he put a snow raccoon coat on his body. Indeed, this coat is not only very warm to wear, but also very light in weight, very comfortable to wear. Nian Bing is just the right size for him.

"That's great, Brother Nian Bing, this coat is just right for you. It seems that Mao Mao bought it right." Mao Mao clapped her hands happily, as if she had gotten something good herself.

Nian Bing smiled and said: "Maomao, brother can't ask for your gift for nothing, so I should give you something in return." He didn't realize it was right when he said the words, because he didn't have any valuables on him except the seven magic knives Something moved in his heart, Nian Bing took Maomao's hand and said, "Let's go, let's borrow something from your sister Bingyun."

Nian Bing brought Mao Mao to the room of Mao Mao and Bing Yun. Bing Yun was sitting on the bed meditating, and when he felt Nian Bing's breath, he opened his eyes and said coldly: "Who told you to come to our room."

Nian Bing said: "Maomao gave me a piece of clothing, I have to give her something in return, Miss Bingyun, can you lend me a few white scrolls. I will return it to you when I buy it another day."

Bing Yun frowned, but still took out three white scrolls and threw them to Nian Bing. Nian Bing didn't go back to his room, and spread out the three best white scrolls on the table beside him. Appearing a foot away from his body, Nian Bing thought for a while, then immediately gathered his magic power and began to draw on the scroll. His movements not only attracted Maomao's attention, but Bingyun couldn't help standing up, watching Nian Bing's movements not far away.

Nian Bing's fingers trembled, and beautiful lines gradually appeared on the white scroll. His movements were extremely fast, and every magic symbol was natural, and the symbols gradually became complicated. Many of the magic symbols drawn by Nian Bing are not seen by her. She also worked hard in the magic circle, but Nian Bing's speed was too fast, she could only vaguely feel some of it, but she couldn't be sure what kind of magic Nian Bing was drawing. As more and more magic symbols became more and more complex, Nian Bing's movements gradually slowed down. The final completion of the magic scroll is the most important process. Once the drawing is wrong, or the magic power is injected unevenly, it will immediately Make the white scroll reimbursement.

The red and blue lights flashed alternately, and the three scrolls were completed at the same time. Nian Bing closed the scrolls and injected the last magic power respectively. Then he clapped his hands in satisfaction and said, "Success."

He stuffed the three scrolls into Maomao's hands, and said with a smile: "Maomao, you carry these three scrolls with you. These three are scrolls that trigger magic from the same source of ice and fire. The power of fusion can reach more than seven levels. Your natural mental power should be easy to control their power, and it is most suitable for self-defense. I set the defense levels of the three scrolls to be different. When attacked by different degrees, one of them will be triggered. This is a gift from my brother. .”

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Nian Bing." Maomao put the three magic scrolls into her arms. She didn't know the power of these three scrolls, but Bingyun couldn't be more clear. It can produce the strength of seventh-order magic, and It is still the legendary trigger magic scroll, and none of them failed during production. The value of these three scrolls is too high. Nian Bing's miraculous magic performance can't help but impress her.

"Nian Bing, how long do you plan to stay in Ice Moon City?" Bing Yun asked coldly, she meant to ask Nian Bing when she would return to the Ice God Tower with her.
