Grandpa Ding sat back on the sofa and rubbed the spot where the jade pendant had hit him.
Then, a refreshing coolness flowed continuously into the area where he had been hit, making him feel comfortable all over.
He couldn't stop himself and let out a long howl.
Ding Li was even more frightened; what if his father had been driven mad by the jade pendant?
Ye Zhongnan was also very puzzled by his sister's behavior. His sister would never normally be so disrespectful to an elder, especially since this elder was his respected teacher.
Xiaoxi clapped her hands, "That's it? I thought it would take a lot more effort!"
Xiao Xi looked at Grandpa Ding and asked earnestly, "Uncle Ding, how do you make braised duck tongue?"
Grandpa Ding did it with ease.
"The most important thing for stir-fried duck tongues is the marinating:"
Drain the duck tongues and place them in a bowl with 15 ml of light soy sauce, 15 ml of cooking wine, sugar, salt, and some scallions, ginger, and garlic.
Mix well and marinate in the refrigerator for five hours…
He rambled on for a while before realizing that Ding Li and Ye Zhongnan were staring at him with wide eyes.
Ye Zhongnan didn't know how his master felt after losing his cooking skills. He was just surprised that his master's cooking skills had been stolen.
When my master talked about cooking, his memory was so good that he remembered exactly how many milliliters of soy sauce and cooking wine there were.
To Ding Li's surprise, his father, who used to clutch his head and yell about a headache whenever cooking was mentioned, was now talking fluently about cooking techniques.
"Father, your cooking skills are back? That's wonderful!"
Grandpa Ding then realized what he had just said, and he suddenly jumped up as if he had been electrocuted.
"I remember now, I remember everything!"
He suddenly hugged Xiaoxi tightly, his eyes filled with tears.
"Xiaoxi, how did you do that? That's amazing! That's incredible! I never thought I'd be alive and my cooking skills would come back to me!"
Xiaoxi saw that the old man was full of energy and seemed to have become much younger!
"Uncle Ding, don't get excited! Your cooking skills have just returned, take a break, take a break, you need to stay calm!"
Ding Li quickly fetched a cup of tea and handed it to his father.
Xiao Xi remembered something and asked to wait a moment. She took out the other half of the pill that Old Master Ding had taken earlier and put it into the tea.
After drinking the medicinal tea, Grandpa Ding finally calmed down.
"Xiaoxi, how did you do that?"
Grandpa Ding also asked Ye Zhongnan and Ding Li questions.
"Look at this jade tablet. It's actually a jade slip used to store information."
After Zhou Dongcheng stole Uncle Ding's cooking skills, he stored them in this jade slip.
Zhou Dongcheng carried the jade slip with him at all times, so that he could acquire Uncle Ding's culinary skills and use them whenever he wanted!
Xiao Xi took another look at the information on the jade pendant, which had been completely cleared, and then put the jade pendant into her brocade storage bag.
This fine jade pendant will have other uses in the future.
Ye Zhongnan was puzzled, "Xiaoxi, if Zhou Dongcheng stole my luck, didn't he also steal my cooking skills at the same time?"
“Cooking skills and luck are two different things. He locked you in a hotel in the capital just to steal your luck. If you try to have both, you will not achieve perfection in either.”
Old Master Ding was so angry that his beard trembled. "This Zhou Dongcheng, he wants to do both things at once, and he gets all the good things. Why doesn't he confess?"
Xiaoxi chuckled, "A person who has done all sorts of bad things is bound to be punished, and I've calculated that his retribution is coming soon."
The three of them were very curious and quickly asked Xiaoxi what kind of retribution Zhou Dongcheng would receive.
Xiaoxi rubbed her stomach, "Oh dear, using the formation just now completely drained me, I'm starving."
When Grandpa Ding checked the time, most of the afternoon had passed.
"Xiaoxi, Zhongnan, have dinner at my house. I'll come over and show you what I can cook!"
