Chapter 1568

Seeing Ye Zhangqing about to teach the Vermilion Bird Hall Master cooking, Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er also sensibly withdrew from the kitchen.

Only Ye Zhangqing and the Vermilion Bird Hall Master remained in the kitchen.

Looking at the burly Vermilion Bird Hall Master, Ye Zhangqing felt a bit embarrassed, wondering where to start teaching.

After thinking, he decided to first see how skilled the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's cooking was.

"Senior, what rank of spirit chef are you now?"

He asked, and according to Bai Xian'er's older sister, after studying cooking for so many years, she should at least be a spirit chef.

However, hearing this, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master replied extremely confidently.

"I'm not a spirit chef yet; I've been working hard."

"Huh???"

Seeing the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's matter-of-fact expression, Ye Zhangqing was dumbfounded—no, you've studied cooking for so many years, yet you're still not a spirit chef?

At least you should be a first or second rank.

Moreover, how do you manage to wear such a proud expression while saying these words?

It sounds like I ought to praise you.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master felt no problem at all, and Ye Zhangqing was speechless; they exchanged a glance, fell silent for a moment, then Ye Zhangqing slowly spoke.

"Then let's start over."

Starting from the simplest, that is handling ingredients; this is the most basic—if you can't handle ingredients, there's no point talking about anything else.

Taking out some simple spiritual plants, Ye Zhangqing asked.

"Senior, do you know how to wash vegetables?"

"Of course I do."

"Then wash these vegetables first."

"Simple, no problem."

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master said this with a face full of confidence; Ye Zhangqing neither agreed nor objected.

After all, it's just washing vegetables; even a random mortal could do it.

Seeing the Vermilion Bird Hall Master full of confidence, Ye Zhangqing said nothing more and let her wash the vegetables herself.

After waiting about a quarter hour, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master finished washing.

But when Ye Zhangqing went over to look, he almost popped his eyes out.

"What is this?"

"The washed vegetables."

"Huh???"

Looking at the basin where the spiritual plants had been almost mashed into pulp, Ye Zhangqing fell silent.

I told you to wash the vegetables, not to smash them—do you think you're a blender?

Gazing at the Vermilion Bird Hall Master with a complex look, Ye Zhangqing asked slowly.

"Senior, have you ever washed vegetables before?"

"Of course I have—I've studied cooking for so many years."

Then each time it's.............

"What's wrong? Did I wash them wrong?"

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing momentarily didn't know what to say—is this a matter of right or wrong? No normal person could do something like this.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhangqing started from the simplest vegetable washing, teaching the Vermilion Bird Hall Master step by step how to wash vegetables.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master studied this extremely seriously, but she really seems to have no talent for cooking.

Leaving talent aside, her performance simply doesn't resemble that of a normal person.

Washing vegetables is basically something you understand once told, but with the Vermilion Bird Hall Master

Not only does Ye Zhangqing have to give a separate lesson on how to wash each vegetable, but the Vermilion Bird Hall Master also keeps forgetting, forgetting as soon as she turns her head.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing felt that just teaching her to wash vegetables would probably take several years of effort.

But this is only the most basic; afterward there's ingredient preparation, cooking, etc. —when will she finish learning all that?

Seeing the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's earnest expression, Ye Zhangqing hesitated repeatedly, then finally asked timidly.

"Senior, have you ever thought about giving up cooking?"

"How could I not? This has been my ambition since childhood; I've always wanted to be a spirit chef."

"Huh???"

You wanted to be a spirit chef, but you ended up as an assassin and even became one of the four hall masters of Yongye.

Hearing the Vermilion Bird Hall Master say this, Ye Zhangqing was full of curiosity—so what exactly have you been through?

While teaching, Ye Zhangqing also probed indirectly.

After some inquiry, Ye Zhangqing also came to understand why the Vermilion Bird Hall Master took this path.

It turns out the Vermilion Bird Hall Master comes from a spirit chef family; though not extremely wealthy, they are better off than ordinary mortals.

Her parents opened a restaurant in a small town; business was so-so, but at least the family's livelihood wasn't a problem.

Therefore, as a child, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master was influenced by her parents and resolved to become an excellent spirit chef.

Even aiming for saint-grade spirit chef, because her father had instilled in her since childhood that a saint-grade spirit chef was the family's lifelong dream.

But even though she studied cooking with her father from childhood, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master basically understands nothing.

Eventually, even her father said she was uncarveable rotten wood.

In any case, regarding cooking, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master basically learns and then forgets; she simply can't retain anything.

Ye Zhangqing deeply relates to this and also quite agrees.

Moreover, I can understand the torment of the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's father; after all, I am now exactly like that.

But having said that, wasn't the Vermilion Bird Hall Master exposed to Chúyì from a young age?

Trained since childhood, yet after so many years, having lived most of a lifetime, this Chúyì is still so terrible.

It's really difficult for her.

Afterwards, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's family encountered a disaster; the small town they lived in was affected by the clash of two major powers and was destroyed in an instant.

Her parents also died in this disaster.

Such incidents are not uncommon in Zhu Tian Wan Jie; after all, when those major powers go all out, who would care about these?

Being affected is just being affected; they simply don't care about the lives of the weak.

However, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master managed to survive by luck, and later, by a fortunate coincidence, she joined a small Sect.

Don't look at her talent in Chúyì, which can be described as abysmal; but in Xiūliàn, she is practically a genius, a top-tier Heavenly Pride.

Any knowledge about Xiūliàn, she learns it instantly; those techniques, after basically reading them a few times, she can comprehend.

And Chúyì is practically the opposite extreme.

This is probably what people mean: when God closes a door, He also opens a window.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master is exactly like that.

Chúyì is hopeless; no matter how she studies, she can't learn it. But in Xiūliàn, her progress is rapid, and her battle prowess is invincible among peers.

In just a few years, she became the eldest senior sister of this small Sect; the increase in her cultivation level even shocked the elders of the Sect beyond words.

Everyone exclaimed that their small Sect had produced a dragon.

Indeed, with such a speed of Xiūliàn, their tiny Sect had never seen anything like this; it can't even be described as talent.

Moreover, the knowledge taught by the elders, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master grasps it upon hearing, can apply it to other situations, and sometimes even leaves those elders speechless.

Her comprehension is deeper than theirs; what does this mean? After cultivating for a lifetime, one ends up inferior to a junior who has only cultivated for a few years.
