Successfully persuaded, Xie Xuan immediately set off with the novel instruments... well, she set off.

Although she didn't understand the device, Liu Yun taught her how to turn it on and how to use it automatically.

Then all she has to do is wait for the instrument to finish working before bringing it back.

Liu Yun was just sitting at the villa anyway, but staying at the training base would give her some entertainment and allow her to observe the younger generation of Yan Kingdom.

Of course, the most important thing is to reassure people who are away from home on missions.

Xie Xuan even contacted Zhang Linyuan specifically to have him personally pick up Liu Yun and take her to the training base before she felt at ease to carry out the mission.

Accompanying them was Chef Li, who was even more adaptable and could cook as long as he had a pot.

Of course, since Chef Li got his personal space, he can go anywhere.

They have all kinds of pots and pans, all kinds of stoves, and plenty of ingredients, making it possible to cook food anytime, anywhere.

It's obvious that when someone who is used to staying at home and whose activities are mostly confined to the kitchen has this magical space, it's as if they carry the kitchen with them, and their heart quickly wanders off.

The desire for more high-quality and premium ingredients from the outside world will increase.

So, upon hearing that Liu Yun was leaving the villa, Chef Li quickly followed.

Chef Li's eyes lit up when he heard that the training location was very natural.

"Special training, huh? Is it very taxing? Are you able to eat a lot?" Chef Li seemed excited the whole way.

Zhang Linyuan smiled, in a very pleasant mood, "Of course, the chef can cook whatever he wants, there will be absolutely no waste."

Although their food is certainly not bad, who would refuse to eat better and more comfortably?

If there is more anticipation and satisfaction in the monotonous training, everyone will flock to it.

For Li Da, cooking is an enjoyment, and watching others eat comfortably is an even greater pleasure. Some people don't need to wolf down their food; even if they eat slowly and deliberately, their whole being exudes the feeling of deliciousness.

This silent praise made Li Da happier than any thumbs-up.

The message conveyed by the body is far more sincere than words.

People who consume a lot of energy and have a large appetite generally have more information in this area.

Li Da really enjoys cooking for people who eat a lot. He doesn't mind the large portions at all, but that doesn't stop him from making exquisite dishes.

He wants both highbrow and lowbrow experiences.

Otherwise, Li Da wouldn't have been so interested in the New Year's Eve extravaganza in Xinqiao Village.

He always took the initiative to approach her, and of course, the old village chief didn't treat him unfairly; Liu Yun even secretly gave him a sum of money.

Li Da wasn't originally after the subsidy, but since Liu Yun offered it, he accepted it without hesitation.

It must be said that Liu Yun really liked Li Da's spirit. From state banquets to large-scale cooking, Li Da never felt that he shouldn't get involved. What he wanted was the process and the satisfaction of the diners.

To be honest, even among the imperial chefs of the Yunzhao Palace, few could reach this level.

They might be considered lowly in the palace, but outside, they were always high above others, their pride ingrained in their very bones.

It's that kind of condescending feeling, like "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

Only Li Da sees every kind of banquet as an ingredient, a delicacy.

Liu Yun suddenly understood why Li Da had been chosen by Minister Shao and sent over with Xie Xuan and others.

Such people may not show off, but they are the most subtle and pervasive influences. It is difficult to find fault with them, and people accept them without even realizing it.

Minister Shao was actually surprised; even if Li Da hadn't awakened any special abilities, this affability was innate.

If it were anyone else, they would probably all be dependent on Li Da's skills.

But for Liu Yun, it was simply a matter of accepting it without any fault on her part.

After guessing Liu Yun's experiences and how she had enjoyed the culinary skills of countless imperial chefs... her rationality made it seem not so hard to accept.

As for Li Da, he focused on cooking and improving his culinary skills, completely unaware of the many "schemes" behind the scenes.

His interest lies in food; he has no idea, or cares at all, about whether someone is approachable or not.

At this moment, his thoughts had already flown to the training base, and he planned to personally go up the mountain to see the unexpected ingredients.

It's March now, the willows are budding and the peach blossoms are blooming, and the wild vegetables on the mountain are incredibly fresh.

Moreover, there are many varieties.

In addition, Li Da not only learned internal energy but also awakened supernatural abilities. Although his combat experience may be lacking, no one dares to say that he is weak.

Many remote and dangerous places in the wild can be traversed as if they were flat ground.

Liu Yun slowly spoke: "Back then, you didn't learn internal energy just to make cooking easier, did you?"

Zhang Linyuan: ...How is this possible?

Did he cultivate his internal energy to become a renowned chef and even get into the Ministry of Public Security in order to make delicious food?

Is it necessary to take such a roundabout approach?

What kind of mentality is this, where people max out all other skills in order to achieve their dreams?

Before Zhang Linyuan could finish thinking, Li Da scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "How did Sister Yun know?"

Liu Yun never cared about how others addressed her, nor did she correct them. As a result, once they became familiar with each other, many people started calling her whatever came to mind, and no one cared, so naturally no one bothered to standardize it.

Often, I just hear others call me that and subconsciously follow suit.

To outsiders, it sounded like complete chaos!

Moreover, Liu Yun looks young; can she really bear being addressed as an older person?

Those in the know would simply nod in agreement. They could handle it. If it weren't for the fact that it was too outrageous and might upset Liu Yun, they would have called her "ancestor" and treated her like royalty.

Zhang Linyuan: ...Does it have to be this quick to slap someone in the face?

He knew Li Da was pure before, but he didn't know he could be this pure.

Li Da perked up: "The old pots were so heavy, I just wanted my arms to be stronger. I had some random kung fu books at home, so I practiced them haphazardly."

"I don't know if it's because I started practicing early or for some other reason, but I actually developed a sense of Qi."

"Later, I practiced haphazardly and made little progress until I met people from the Security Department and joined the Security Department before I started practicing properly."

Liu Yun: ...This is also a kind of serendipitous encounter, isn't it? The experience is quite magical!

Zhang Linyuan: ...He's definitely a capable person; he didn't even know that!

Previously, I only knew that Li Da was unlike him; he had grown up with the Ministry of State Security as his parent organization and was a newly recruited employee.

It sounds like quite a lot of twists and turns, quite unusual.

Li Da: "I have to say, ever since I started practicing that technique, I feel like I'm getting stronger every day. I'm not even as tall as the stove, but I can already toss the wok and pan. I feel like I can make a lot of delicious dishes now."

"Later I found that whether it was going up the mountain or down to the fields, getting rare ingredients became much easier. I felt that I was on the right path, so I practiced even more diligently... Before I knew it, so many years had passed. I really miss it!"

"Today, I am absolutely grateful to my past self for being so persistent..."
