Chapter 1405: Control Thunder Technique

Just as the spirit chefs were marveling at Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì, a person resembling a manager hurriedly ran in.

"It's not Chef He, what are you doing? The aroma is so fragrant, the customers are all in an uproar."

While saying this, the manager had already rushed straight to the stove, seeing that the stir-fried fire ox beef had been eaten down to just the bottom of the plate, he complained.

"Has it all been eaten by you guys?"

"Manager Li, what does it mean that the customers are all in an uproar?"

"Wait, let me lick the plate clean first, then I'll speak."

Manager Li didn't care about his image, he picked up the plate and started slurping, licking it so clean it didn't need washing.

After licking his lips, still wanting more, and reluctantly putting down the plate, Manager Li then replied.

"It's not anything else, it's this aroma—I suddenly smelled it just now, and the customers thought a new dish had come out, they were all clamoring to order it."

"Right, Chef He, is this a new dish? Did you make it?"

Hearing this, Chef He shook his head self-deprecatingly and said.

"Manager Li, you think too highly of me; I couldn't have such Chúyì—it was Senior Ye who made it."

Saying this, he introduced Ye Zhangqing to Manager Li, at which point Manager Li finally noticed Ye Zhangqing standing to the side.

Looking at such a young Ye Zhangqing, Manager Li was first taken aback—so young, and his Chúyì is this good?

But he quickly apologized repeatedly.

"Senior Ye, sorry about that, I didn't notice earlier."

"It's fine."

After a few words of praise, Manager Li hurried off, as there were still many things ahead; that aroma had made the customers unable to stay seated.

At this moment, the Front Hall was indeed like that—each customer kept questioning the passing waiters.

"Is Hall of a Hundred Flavors researching another new dish? Give me one."

"Me too, this aroma is making me starve to death."

"And here too, give me one."

Everyone was clamoring to order dishes, leaving the waiters utterly bewildered.

Fortunately, Manager Li returned at this moment, and several waiters immediately gave him pleading looks.

Seeing this, Manager Li also went among the customers and patiently explained.

"Everyone has misunderstood; the aroma just now wasn't a new dish, it was Chef He's senior who came over, and he was the one cooking just now."

"So even if you all want to order, we can't do anything about it."

Hearing this, many customers looked disappointed, having thought Hall of a Hundred Flavors had researched a new dish, only to have gotten excited for nothing.

However, someone had a flash of inspiration and said to Manager Li.

"Manager Li, with such a spirit chef's Chúyì, shouldn't you take the opportunity to recruit him for Hall of a Hundred Flavors?"

"Exactly, with that aroma just now, if you could keep this spirit chef, would you still worry about business being bad?"

"If I were the owner, no matter the cost, I would definitely keep this person."

Being reminded by everyone, Manager Li's eyes lit up—yeah, Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì is this good, why not find a way to keep him?

Immediately, Manager Li clasped his hands in a salute to everyone.

"Thank you for the reminder, I'll go discuss this with the owner right away."

"Haha, Manager Li is still sharp."

"Then we'll wait for good news from Manager Li."

"If we could keep this spirit chef, wouldn't we also be able to eat such delicious meals in the future?"

Everyone couldn't help but feel some anticipation, while Manager Li hurried off to find the owner.

"If we can keep Ye Zhangqing, then Hall of a Hundred Flavors in the culinary world might truly be able to advance even further from the top of a hundred-foot pole."

"By then, standing shoulder to shoulder with 'Food is Heaven' might not be impossible."

As for these matters, Ye Zhangqing naturally didn't know; at this moment, after the group returned to the backyard, Chef He's attitude toward Ye Zhangqing had undergone a complete 180-degree change.

In the course of speaking, he became much more respectful, and his address changed from 'little friend' before to 'senior' now.

"Senior Ye, your Chúyì is truly admirable; if I could learn even a bit of it, I'd be willing to do anything."

Chef He still couldn't hold back, revealing his desire to follow Ye Zhangqing to study.

As for that, Ye Zhangqing didn't mind; teaching him a few techniques would be fine.

Moreover, my coming this time isn't also to seek something from Chef He? It's precisely for that Thunder Control technique.

So, upon hearing Chef He's words, Ye Zhangqing smiled and said.

"Chef He, let's just consider that said; we can discuss it mutually, and frankly, I came this time also to seek Chef He for something."

"Senior Ye, just say it; if I can do it, I will certainly not refuse."

Upon hearing that Ye Zhangqing actually had a request of him, Chef He immediately felt delighted.

Originally he was a bit embarrassed to follow Ye Zhangqing to study, but now that he could also help Ye Zhangqing, it would be much easier.

"I watched Chef He earlier demonstrate the Thunder Control technique; to be honest, I'm very interested."

"Senior Ye, you mean the Control Thunder Technique? Could it be that the senior earlier had no contact with Thunder Technique or similar cooking methods?"

"No."

Ye Zhangqing shook his head truthfully—who the hell would think of using Heavenly Thunder to cook ingredients?

This is also the first time I've seen it today, letting me truly open my eyes; otherwise, I could never have thought of such things before.

Seeing this, Chef He also patiently began to explain to Ye Zhangqing.

"The Thunder Technique I just demonstrated is actually called the Control Thunder Technique; it's not particularly profound, and among Thunder Techniques it's only mid-to-high level, far from the peak."

"As for using Thunder Technique to cook, this is quite normal in the culinary world; not only Thunder Technique, but many things can be used for cooking."

That Food-as-Heaven Ancestor once also used the void storm to cook ingredients.

Huh???

Using the void storm to cook ingredients? Ye Zhangqing heard it and was stunned, what a fellow, the spirit chefs of the Zhu Tian Wan Jie really play it so fancy?

After saying that, Chef He took out a secret manual from his own Space Ring, on which were written the three large characters 'Lightning Control Technique'.

He handed it to Ye Zhangqing, Chef He said seriously.

Since Senior Ye is interested in this Lightning Control Technique, then I will give this cultivation method to you, senior.

How can this be..............

Senior, don't refuse, it's not something precious.

This Lightning Control Technique can be bought in the food realm; just spend some spirit stones, as Chef He said, it's truly not something valuable.

And Ye Zhangqing, with such Chúyì, could he still lack spirit stones?

So, Chef He giving the Lightning Control Technique to Ye Zhangqing is just going with the flow, merely doing a favor.

Seeing Chef He's insistence, Ye Zhangqing also did not refuse further.

After receiving the Lightning Control Technique, Ye Zhangqing thanked.

Then I will obey respectfully.

As long as Senior Ye likes it.

Then good, I will stay for the next few days; by then I might still come to bother Chef He, and together we will discuss Chúyì.

I will personally sweep the mat to welcome you.

Saying it's a discussion is just polite talk; actually Ye Zhangqing plans to give Chef He some guidance.

This can also be considered a thank-you; after all, not reciprocating is impolite—since someone gave you something, you naturally ought to show something in return.
