After watching Zhou Xuebin leave, Yan Nantian and his party also returned to the restaurant, sealing the door and closing the windows tightly to prevent spies from other restaurants from sneaking in. Yan Nantian and the four of them were sitting around in the lobby, with complicated expressions on their faces. They were happy but also a little worried. They were happy that Yipinju's business was booming, but they were worried that the method of developing tofu was being spied on. "Xiaotian, I didn't expect that the ingredients you researched were so successful that they would be valued by Master Lingchu." Yan Yunhua stroked his beard and said with emotion. "Yes, it is precisely because the young shopkeeper invented tofu that our Yipinju business is so booming. I have never seen so many customers." Zhou Dacheng said with a face of joy. "Young shopkeeper, how should we deal with the spies sent by other restaurants?" Zhou Dawa asked. "The rest of the restaurant owners are probably suffering from pinkeye, and they are eager to learn how to make tofu as soon as possible. We really need to deal with this well." Yan Yunhua nodded and said. "When I sent Zhou Xuebin and Bald Tou off just now, I deliberately revealed the identity of the other party's chef, and also said that I would go there in person to deliver the tofu tomorrow. People in other restaurants must be wary, and they should not dare to mess around tonight." Yan Nan Tian analyzed. "The way you responded just now did make them temporarily wary, but our relationship with Zhou Xuebin is not deep after all. If other restaurants find out, they may not be too wary." Yan Yunhua said. "Yes, Master Lingchu only said that he would use our tofu, but he didn't say that he would protect us." Zhou Dacheng said. After Yan Nantian came to another world, he also learned about the situation of spiritual chefs. The status of spiritual chefs is much higher than that of chefs, just like the difference between mortals and immortal cultivators. After Yan Nantian pondered for a moment, he said, "Grandpa, I do have a way to alleviate the crisis of Yipinju." "Oh, what way?" Yan Yunhua asked doubtfully. "We can spread the news to the outside world. Let's say that after I developed tofu, I got the appreciation of a spiritual chef. I will probably become a disciple of the spiritual chef. This should be able to scare some young people." Yan Nantian said. "A disciple of Lingchu?" After hearing Yan Nantian's words, Yan Yunhua looked surprised and murmured. "Young shopkeeper, it is true that Mr. Zhou Xuebin is an expert chef, but he did not say that he would accept you as his apprentice. Will this cause Mr. Zhou Xuebin's resentment?" Zhou Dacheng said with a hint of worry. "Uncle Cheng, you don't have to worry about this. I just mentioned the disciples who may become Ling Chef, not that they will definitely become Ling Chef's disciples, let alone that the Ling Chef is Zhou Xuebin; and the other party has a lot of them, so I won't care about it. These." Yan Nantian said with a smile. There is another sentence that Yan Nantian did not say out loud. The bald man always spoke freely, and he was still able to stay by Zhou Xuebin's side, which proved that Zhou Xuebin was not a petty person. "Young shopkeeper, even if we spread the news, it is just a rumor, and other people may not necessarily believe it." Zhou Dawa shook his head slightly and said. "Hmph, they don't need to fully believe it. As long as they can be half-convinced and unable to prove the truth or falsehood of this matter, no one will dare to attack Yipinju under the power of Master Lingchu." Yan Yunhua snorted coldly. ,road. "Okay, since grandpa agreed, let's do it like this." Yan Nantian nodded, then stood up and said: "It's getting late, everyone should go to bed early, we have to get up early to make tofu tomorrow."?¡ ¡ In the private room of Babaozhai Restaurant, a candle was lit on the table, and the room seemed a little dark. Zhou Bajing stood in front of the window and looked out, which was where Yipinju Restaurant was located. "Creak" With a sound, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Zhou Wancai strode into the house, panting and saying: "Dad, something serious is going to happen." "Look at how panicked you are! "Zhou Bajing scolded, then sat on a stool nearby and said, "Tell me what happened." "Dad, according to your previous instructions, I sent someone to watch over Yipinju. That's where it is. The news came from the side," Zhou Wancai said. "What news? Have you ever found out how to make tofu?" Zhou Bajing said with a look of expectation. "The method of making tofu is not clear yet, but a big shot has been involved. Zhou Xuebin, the spiritual chef of Yuelaiju Restaurant, just walked out of Yipinju Restaurant and seemed to have reached some agreement with Yipinju." Zhou Wancai said. "Zhou Xuebin, the spiritual chef of Yuelaiju! How could such a prominent figure in Wujiang Town be related to Yipinju?" Zhou Bajing was shocked and stood up from his stool.He walked around the room and said, "Have you withdrawn the spies sent to Yipinju?" "As soon as I heard that it was Master Lingchu, I immediately withdrew the spies. Moreover, other The spies sent out by the restaurant have also disappeared," Zhou Wancai said. "That's of course. Chef Ling's identity is extraordinary. Without knowing his relationship with Yipinju, no restaurant would dare to attack Yipinju." Zhou Bajing said. "Dad, what do you think we should do now?" Zhou Wancai asked. "Early tomorrow morning, you will send someone out to find out what the relationship between Zhou Xuebin and Yipinju is? This way we can plan for the future." Zhou Bajing said. ¡° If it weren¡¯t for the fact that tofu is a unique ingredient that can be used to make a variety of different delicacies, and has broad prospects and huge profits, Zhou Bajing decided not to risk offending Chef Ling to find out how to make tofu. ¡ ¡ In the early morning, the morning sun rose slowly from the east, and Yipinju Restaurant was also open for business. Yan Nantian walked out of Yipinju with a food box in his hands, with heavy dark circles under his eyes. Early in the morning, Yan Nantian got up to make tofu. After making the tofu, he sent Zhou Dawa out and asked him to spread the news in the market that Yan Nantian might become a disciple of the spiritual chef, so as to deter those with evil intentions. person. And Yan Nantian himself is not idle either. The food box contains fresh tofu. He has to rush to the ¡®Yelaiju¡¯ Lingchu Restaurant to deliver tofu to Zhou Xuebin as agreed. The reason why Yan Nantian wanted to deliver it in person was not because Yan Nantian was so diligent, but because he wanted to get closer to Zhou Xuebin and wanted to know more about the ¡®Lingchu¡¯. Yan Nantian has not wandered around Wujiang Town since he came to another world. Although the houses and roads in this world are not as good as the reinforced concrete on earth, they still have a unique style. The tallest buildings in Wujiang Town are the only four Lingchu restaurants in the town. Each one is four stories high, which is twice as tall as other buildings in the town. Yuelaiju Restaurant is in the center of Wujiang Town. Based on previous memories, Yan Nantian quickly found the location of Yuelaiju. It was much more luxurious than Yipinju Restaurant. Yuelaiju occupies a large area, and the entire building is mainly red. There is a plaque on the second floor with the three words "Yuelaiju" written in large gilt characters. The front door is decorated with white marble. On the floor, there are two stone sculptures of Qilin beasts placed in front of the door. Yan Nantian walked to the door of Yuelaiju, reported his name to the waiter in the restaurant, and explained his purpose of coming. The waiter asked him to wait aside, and then ran into the restaurant to report the news. Yan Nantian was very curious about the Lingchu Restaurant, which is unique to other worlds, but he did not dare to break into the restaurant privately. He was looking around at the door of the restaurant, but it was still early in the morning and there were no customers in the restaurant. After a while, a bald man walked out of Yuelaiju Restaurant. He was the retinue of Lingchu Zhou Xuebin. He waved to Yan Nantian and said, "You kid, why are you running away to Gulai so early?" "I'm afraid I'll be delayed. It¡¯s Mr. Zhou¡¯s business, so I sent the tofu over in advance.¡± Yan Nantian stepped forward and said with a sincere face. "Well, if you are serious, just give me the tofu." The bald man nodded and said. "Although I have met you three times, I still don't know how to address you?" Yan Nantian asked with a smile as he handed over the food box. "My name is Liu Qiang, you can just call me Master Liu from now on." The bald man responded, and then opened the food box to examine it. After seeing the tofu inside, he nodded and said: "I accepted the tofu, you Is there anything else, kid?" "Master Liu, I do have something to ask you," Yan Nantian said. "You're really good at hitting snakes with sticks. If you have anything to do, just tell me immediately," Liu Qiang said. "Master Liu, I am a chef. I hope to become a chef one day, but I don't know how to achieve it?" Yan Nantian asked. "Hmph." After hearing Yan Nantian's words, Liu Qiang snorted coldly and said: "There are many chefs in the world, and some of them don't want to become spiritual chefs. However, becoming a spiritual chef is not easy. It requires not only a certain amount of talent." , you also need to have spiritual power, spiritual consciousness, and spiritual fire, so how can ordinary chefs be able to do it? " Yan Nantian has heard people mention these three abilities more than once, but it is difficult for him to do so. I don¡¯t understand, let alone how to obtain these three abilities. "Master Liu, I don't know what spiritual power, spiritual knowledge, and spiritual fire are?" Yan Nantian asked. "I'm not very proficient in spiritual consciousness and spiritual fire, but when it comes to this spiritual power, I know a little bit about it." Liu Qiang said with a look of satisfaction. "Please give me some advice from Mr. Liu." Yan Nantian bowed his hands and said. "Seeing that you are so sincere, I will let you see what spiritual power is!" Liu Qiang chuckled lightly and said. Then, a powerful momentum surged from Liu Qiang's body, and a faint red light glowed on his body. He waved his right arm, fisted with his right hand, and punched out suddenly. A red light flashed on his fist and flew towards the ground in front of him. . "Boom" With a sound, the golden light of the fist hit the ground, creating a deep pit the size of a fist. It set off a burst of gravel in the surrounding area, shocking Yan Nantian on the side.
