Chapter 20

Jiang Li was completely confused. He had to talk to this strange guest for a long time before he finally understood.

This guest who wanted to be his disciple did not want to learn magic, but to learn cooking.

The moment he understood that he did not want to learn magic, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. You know, no matter how powerful the residents of Dolei City praised him, he was actually just a half-baked person. Not to mention teaching others, he himself did not understand it.

"Haha, you are such a joker. I don't have any talent for magic, so why would I want to learn magic from you?" Levi said with a smile: "A great magician like you, if you accept an apprentice, it must be a genius with extraordinary talent."

Jiang Li: "..."

"However, although I don't have a talent for magic, my talent as a chef is higher than most people." Levi raised his chin and said proudly: "Since my great-grandfather, our family has been running restaurants in Dolei City. When I was a child, I followed my father to learn. He said that I was the most talented chef he had ever seen, and my restaurant is also the most delicious restaurant in Dolei City!"

"In that case, why do you want to become my apprentice?" Jiang Li said tactfully: "Since you have inherited the family craft and own the most delicious restaurant, you are already an amazing chef."

"It's not like that!"

Levi interrupted him excitedly: "Before your supermarket appeared, my restaurant was indeed the most delicious restaurant in Dolei City, but the food sold in your supermarket is a hundred times, a thousand times more delicious than what I cook! I have tasted the dishes you sell, and I have confirmed that no matter how hard I try, I can't surpass you." Jiang

Li: "This, this..."

This can't be blamed on him.

There are too few cooking methods in the other world, and the seasonings are too poor. Although the taste of pre-made dishes cannot be said to be particularly good, in Jiang Li's opinion, they are not as good as the freshly fried dishes in roadside home-style restaurants. However, putting them in the other world is like artificial intelligence playing chess with elementary school students, unilaterally crushing them.

"So..."

Levi bowed deeply at 90 degrees again, "Please teach me how to cook, Mr. Jiang Li!"

Jiang Li subconsciously looked outside the door. Fortunately, Levi came at a time when no one was around, and no one noticed what happened in the supermarket. In this case, it would be easy for Jiang Li to refuse.

"You misunderstood." Jiang Li explained, "I can't cook, and I can't teach you anything."

Levi was stunned for a moment, he stood up and stared at Jiang Li blankly: "You...you can't cook?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you write the recipe for the braised rice with pork intestines?"

"..."

...It was indeed written by him .

The method of braised rice with pork intestines is so simple. Although Jiang Li can't cook, he knows a few simple quick dishes. However, it would be too difficult for him to use those to teach students as a teacher.

From his hesitation, Levi keenly noticed his hesitation and inner rejection.

Levi's face showed visibly lost, but he was not discouraged.

Of course, he couldn't impress people with just a few words if they wanted to become his apprentices. The more powerful the teacher was, the more stringent the requirements for accepting apprentices would be. He had already prepared to be rejected a thousand or ten thousand times. As an excellent chef, if he could be easily defeated by a failure, he would not have opened the most delicious restaurant in Dolei City.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree to me today. I will come again tomorrow." Levi said respectfully, "After tasting the dishes you made, the complex and ultimate delicacy has become the goal I want to pursue as a chef. For this, no matter how hard it is, I am ready."

His attitude was very sincere, but it also made Jiang Li more stunned.

He explained hastily: "Wait, you misunderstood, those dishes were not made by me."

"Not by you?" Levi was confused for a moment, and then his eyes became more eager: "Who is that chef? Where can I find him? Will it be in the royal capital? Will I be lucky enough to meet him?"

"..."

Jiang Li's eyes wandered.

It's not the chef who makes the pre-prepared dishes, but the food processing factory.

However...

Jiang Li had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he quickly figured out one thing.

He cheered himself up and said confidently: "Although I can't teach you to cook, I can give you some recipes."

Levi stopped breathing, and the whole person was petrified: "...You, what did you say?!"

Cai Cai Cai... Recipes? !

Levi's eyes widened, looking at the person who was speaking so casually in front of him in disbelief, as if he was not talking about a precious recipe, but a few ordinary blank papers.

"What recipe do you want? Braised pork with preserved vegetables? Or sweet and sour pork ribs?..." Jiang Li listed the names of several pre-made dishes sold in the supermarket, and then said, "Other than that, you can also ask for other dishes."

It was like a gift from the goddess of luck that fell from the sky and knocked Levi unconscious.

He was dizzy and had to hold on to the cash register to stand steadily. The cold touch of metal coming from his palms also reminded him that this was not a dream, but reality.

Any recipe is a treasure that cannot be passed on to others. It is passed down from generation to generation by one's own children. That is why Levi clearly knows how difficult it is to get Mr. Jiang Li to accept him as an apprentice. He also made up his mind for a long time when he came to become his apprentice... But it was so simple? !

So simple, without doing anything, Mr. Jiang Li was willing to give him the recipe? !

Levi's hands couldn't help shaking, and he asked in panic: "So... what price do I need to pay?"

"Price?"

"If you want to take away my restaurant..."

"Why should I take away your restaurant?" Jiang Li looked at him puzzledly: "It's just a few recipes, I'll just give them to you."

There are public recipes everywhere on the Internet, Jiang Li can easily collect a lot of them, except for the secret recipes that have not been passed on to others.

Levi was stunned.

He stared at Jiang Li blankly and said incoherently: "If I learn it, my restaurant will sell these dishes..."

"Whatever you want."

"Then your supermarket will be affected..."

"It doesn't matter." He didn't buy much anyway.

"I...I..."

Levi was speechless.

The owner of the supermarket was so generous that he was willing to give him the precious recipes without paying any price. Even when he took over the restaurant from his father, Levi had never been so surprised and nervous.

He he he...

Levi took a deep breath and then fell straight back.

"Bang!"

Looking at the person who suddenly fainted in front of him, Jiang Li:? ? ? ?

Jiang Li was shocked: "Hey!"

...

Fortunately, the strange guest was just too emotional and fainted for a while. Before Jiang Li went out to call for help, he quickly woke up.

However, the fainting here quickly attracted the owners of other stores. They recognized that this strange guest was the owner of a restaurant in Dore City.

Jiang Li was also invited by him to his restaurant to enjoy a lunch from another world. Of course, the taste could not be compared with what he had tasted at Dean's house.

Jiang Li put down his fork silently... He finally understood why humans in other worlds are always so exaggerated.

After returning, Jiang Li copied down the recipes of several dishes such as preserved vegetable braised pork, and handed them to Levi the next day.

Levi was deeply moved, and took it solemnly with both hands: "I will definitely study hard and will not let you down!"

Jiang Li: "...Okay."

However...

When Levi excitedly picked up the recipe and looked at it, the joy on his face was gradually replaced by solemnity, and his expression became more and more serious.

Half a day later, he came back to find Jiang Li with the recipe.

"What kind of monster meat is the pork belly used in this dish of pork with preserved vegetables?"

Jiang Li: "It's not monster meat, it's just ordinary pork."

"Ordinary pork?"

"Yes."

Levi was puzzled: "How do you get rid of the stench of pork?"

Jiang Li: "..." Wait, is he going to teach me how to castrate a pig first?

"What is cooking wine? A kind of wine? What is fermented bean curd? Fouled milk? Does tomato sauce refer to tomato hot pot?"

Jiang Li: "..."

"By the way, what is stir-frying?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li was silent for a long time.

Facing Levi's eyes full of curiosity, he silently led him to the shelf: "Or, you can buy a new pot first."
