Grandpa Ding, with his strong legs, rushed to the kitchen.
The cooks and servants in the kitchen were shocked to see the old man enter the kitchen, as he hadn't been there for many years.
Moreover, the food he ate every day was bland and tasteless; he had no appetite and ate only to maintain his bodily functions.
What's gotten into Grandpa today?
Without saying a word, Grandpa Ding showed off his knife skills, slicing tofu into even more neat and delicate shreds than potato shreds.
He not only cooked for himself, but also directed the chefs and servants to help, showing a renewed great interest in cooking.
The servants at the old Ding family's place discovered that the old master's former glory had returned, and before long, one after another, breathtakingly delicious dishes were created.
Grandpa Bing felt he could continue, but his son stopped him.
“Father, even if you manage to recapture that feeling from back then, you should take it easy.”
Only after Ding Li repeatedly dissuaded him did Grandpa Ding stop. Otherwise, he would have cooked for another ten or twenty people.
There were only four people eating in the restaurant, yet a huge table of dishes was laid out, leaving Ye Zhongnan stunned.
He knew that his master had returned to his former glory, and every dish was his master's specialty.
Xiaoxi couldn't contain herself any longer. She had tasted countless delicacies, and this cooking skill was comparable to that of immortals.
Today it's just the four of them, and Xiaoxi is thinking of eating to her heart's content.
After Mr. Ding said some polite words, everyone started the meal, and Xiao Xi even saw many imperial dishes.
It has to be said that the old man's cooking skills are top-notch. No wonder my second brother's cooking skills are so good. It turns out that he learned them from the old man Ding.
Moreover, Xiaoxi had seen many of the dishes on the table in her cookbook.
"Uncle Ding, you can tell at a glance that you were apprenticed to the chief chef of the imperial court."
"Wow, Xiaoxi is a knowledgeable person. Even my son didn't see the trick. I told him about it later, and that's when he found out where our ancestor came from."
Xiaoxi: No wonder Zhou Dongcheng is so wicked, wanting to steal Grandpa Ding's cooking skills.
She didn't elaborate further, nor did she tell anyone that she had a royal cookbook.
That imperial chef who wrote the recipes may have later attained immortality, which is why he was able to create such spiritually inspired recipes.
And so, Ding Li and Ye Zhongnan listened attentively to Xiao Xi and Grandpa Ding's conversation, which they found quite interesting.
Xiaoxi kept talking without stopping; she was really hungry. The formation had used up so much spiritual energy, and she needed to replenish it.
Everyone noticed that Xiaoxi had eaten one-third of the food on the table by herself.
When Grandpa Ding saw how popular his dishes were, he gave Xiao Xi a thumbs up.
Only then did Ye Zhongnan and Ding Li realize that Old Master Ding had become younger and returned to the appearance he should have at his normal age.
Ding Li found a mirror for his father, and when the old man looked in it, he laughed heartily.
"Xiaoxi is truly a great benefactor to our family. I'm so happy today. I want to thank Xiaoxi for helping me regain my cooking skills and for recognizing my little apprentice."
Seeing how happy Grandpa Ding was, Xiaoxi knew that he had let go of his heartache over his eldest disciple.
Finally, at the earnest urging of Grandpa Ding and Ding Li, Ye Zhongnan and Xiao Xi happily stayed at the Ding family's house for three days.
During this time, my brother's culinary skills were also put to good use, with guidance from Grandpa Ding.
Grandpa Ding discovered that during the ten-year gap, his young apprentice's cooking skills had improved dramatically.
Later, Xiaoxi told him that the experience he had gained on Guangdajie Street had helped Ye Zhongnan understand the inner cultivation required to become an excellent chef.
In fact, Xiaoxi's cooking skills are also quite remarkable; she has worked as a head chef at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant in the Underworld.
In the past few days, we've only seen Grandpa Ding, Second Brother, and Ding Li showcase their culinary skills.
Xiaoxi will be in charge of being a food critic.
