"Well, Grandma Jie, can I ask you a question?"
Zheng Yuan drank the bitter and sweet glass tea and looked at Grandma Jie who was sitting beside him.
"I probably know why you think about it. You've met Jiro, right?"
Setsuno smiled and took a sip of glass tea.
"Yes, I heard Mr. Jiro say that my arm... still has a chance?"
Touching the protruding fleshy ball on the left side, there was a moment of self-consciousness there, but Zheng Yuan used it to exchange his life. He couldn't say he regretted it, but the opportunity to come back was always very anticipated. It had been so long that he had even forgotten that he had hands. The feeling is that I am used to cutting vegetables, eating and fighting with one hand.
"Yes, have you ever heard of Regenerator Yusaku?"
Putting down the cup in her hand, Setsuno showed an enigmatic smile.
"It's the man who regenerated the ultra-rare invisible fruit! That's no wonder."
Zheng Yuan understood that although he was either hunting in dangerous no-man's land or lying dead at home, he would occasionally watch TV. A man with two cigar branches in his mouth would often appear on the TV, puffing away smoke, and looking long. Very rough.
"A few days ago, he regenerated an ingredient with me that is destined to be the seed of resurrection!"
Setsuno said the name of the ingredients in a long voice.
"Seed of resurrection?"
Zheng Yuan stood up a little excitedly, supporting the table with his hands and looking at Setsuno.
"Hey, hey, don't get excited, Xiaomu. In fact, the resurrection seed is not complete yet and may not be able to heal your arm."
Setsuno uttered words that made Zheng Yuan's blood sink.
"...That's it."
The feeling of dashed hope made Zheng Yuan sit back in his chair weakly.
"But the seed of resurrection won't work, but the seed of rebirth might!"
Seeing that Zheng Yuan was depressed, Setsuno smiled and said the spark that could revive Zheng Yuan's hope.
"Really? Grandma Jie, please stop teasing me."
With his eyes widened, Zheng Yuan felt depressed again.
"If the seed of regeneration can really be created, it is not impossible for your arm to be resurrected given your physical condition."
Seeing that Jie Nai was still drinking tea leisurely, Zheng Yuan's hair stood up anxiously, and a small bunch of hair stood up high. Nuonuo, who was silent by the side, couldn't help laughing.
"Want information? Complete my commission first!"
Setsuno narrowed her eyes.
"Say it, no matter what it is, I'll do it!"
Zheng Yuan clenched his fists and his eyes seemed to be on fire, Zheng Yuan said righteously.
"Don't look at me like that, it's very simple!"
Setsuno said with a smile.
...
The center of a full city
Food tower!
The 302nd floor.
It was early in the morning, and the warm sunlight shone softly on Zheng Yuan's body through the special glass window, making people want to squint their eyes.
Although the Food Tower is a landmark building in the city of Satiety, its different floors are also different!
The higher the location, the higher the rating and the higher the star rating of the store. Floors 0 to 100 only range from IGO-level three-star restaurants to five-star restaurants, while floors 101 to 300 range from six-star to nine-star restaurants. Star-rated restaurants, if they are open outdoors, can support a city's GDP!
And on top of these high-end restaurants, there are a total of twenty stores, all of which are ten-star restaurants!
The top 100 chefs in the world are not necessarily the chefs of ten-star restaurants, but the chefs of ten-star restaurants must be the top 100 chefs in the world!
Looking at the scenery outside the window, you can see the scenery of most of the city through the hazy clouds. It cannot be said to be beautiful, but it is very magnificent.
"So the commission is just to accompany someone for a day? It's easy."
Looking at Nono, who was a little reserved, Zheng Yuan had a smile on his face. For some reason, he felt calm after learning that his arms could grow back.
"What a cute kid! And...Isn't Ice King Nancy Mu?"
An old man with a white goatee and a brocade suit embroidered with patterns walked in. He looked to be very old, at least seventy or eighty years old, but his back was straight and his face was serious. There was a man watching behind him. A rather young man carrying a backpack, probably an assistant.
"I really didn't expect that the person who comes to eat with Setsuno-sama's food card is actually you? A rare guest."
The old man put on a hat with the same color as his clothes. Such fancy clothes were actually chef clothes!
"The manager of Chinese restaurant Rei, Mr. Reigen, I am very honored to meet you. As the 31st chef in the world, it would be difficult for me to eat without Granny Setsuno's gourmet card."
Standing up, Zheng Yuan clasped his fists and said in a very official manner.
"Let's not be polite. What do you want to eat? But it's best not to order anything that requires preparation. I didn't prepare those ingredients when something unexpected happened!"
The man behind Ling Xuan took out many ingredients from his backpack, including abalone and sea cucumber, shark's fin and bird's nest, deer tendon and fish lip...
"No need to bother. Let's have Wensi tofu as an appetizer, then a braised pork knuckle with sea cucumber, nine-turn large intestine, sweet and sour carp, braised pork ribs, leek box, flavored eggplant, braised pork with pickled vegetables, braised pork, stir-fried kidney, and the soup is done. Let’s have mullet and egg soup, and for dessert, let’s have three non-stick dishes, double-skinned milk and snow-capped bean paste! Then let’s have a bucket of rice, it doesn’t need to be much, just three hundred kilograms.”
Zheng Yuan, who didn't even look at the menu, spat out a long string of words as if announcing the names of the dishes. After listening, Ling Xuan's serious face suddenly darkened.
"It's rare for a diner who knows Chinese cuisine to come here and try to mess with my old bones."
Lingxuan, with a dark face, took out a cloth bag and opened it to reveal a long piece of kitchen utensils.
"It's been too long since I've eaten, sorry to trouble you!"
Zheng Yuanle's eyes narrowed.
"What is snowy bean paste? Is it a new type of ingredient?"
Nuonuo, who was sitting aside, asked in a low voice.
"It is a dish in which egg whites are beaten until a chopstick can be inserted upright without falling over, then wrapped in red bean paste and deep-fried until golden and puffy, then sprinkled with powdered sugar. Chinese cuisine emphasizes technique rather than shape, although it also pays attention to ingredients. It’s delicious, but a good Chinese chef can use ordinary ingredients to make it taste as good as the best ingredients!”
Zheng Yuan replied in a low voice, because of the variety of ingredients in this world, most chefs pay more attention to how to bring out the taste of the ingredients. The excessive types of ingredients make the already complicated Chinese cuisine even more difficult to get started. Only true geniuses can learn it.
"Appetizer, Lily Wensi Tofu!"
Within five minutes, a bowl of red and white Wensi tofu was served. The tofu was cut so thin that it could pass a needle. Each stick was the same thickness and length. It was decorated with a few lilies. It was amazingly beautiful.
Zheng Yuan and Nuonuo looked at each other and smiled, picked up the soup spoons and began to eat happily.
...
The festival at night is the canteen.
"Oh hey hey, he looks like he's enjoying his meal!"
Taking back her food card from Zheng Yuan's hand, Setuno looked at Zheng Yuan and Nono who looked satisfied and smiled happily.
"Nono, you should be the only one who can be called a friend. She doesn't like to talk. You and I can also see that you don't like to socialize. Although you can talk to each other, you are not close enough. You are like a strange friend. I hope to pass by. This is the day you can become real friends!”
Setsuno touched Nono's soft cheek. She watched the child grow up, just like her own daughter. However, the child's personality was too withdrawn, and he was afraid of the closeness of others. If he received a little kindness from others, he would want to repay it and then He distanced himself from her, so he called her his employee. Now that he finally had a peer with whom he could talk, Setsuno still didn't want his child to be so withdrawn.
"Now that the commission has been completed, I will tell you the information about the regeneration seed! In addition, I have told Yusaku that the food train ticket to life has been booked, every day at ten o'clock in the morning!"
Setuno took out a red ticket and handed it to Zheng Yuan, and then told Zheng Yuan everything in a low voice.
This chapter took me two hours, and I couldn't figure out the words for some reason. I originally wanted to add more chapters for the 1666 starting coins rewarded by the Snowflake TV boss, but now that I think about it...
In addition, it should be a monk novel. Unless I am in the later stage or readers forcefully request it, I will not write about a female protagonist... Mainly because I don’t have a girlfriend myself, so I don’t know how to write QAQ.
