There are more than 20 houses in the kitchen of the Black Tiger Hall, a soup room, a pastry room, a cold dish room, a meat and vegetable room, and a raw material department, with a total of 17 chefs, plus various servants, and hundreds of people working here to prepare meals for the 2,000 disciples of the Black Tiger Hall.

Yu Zecheng is one of the chefs, and he has his own special kitchen soup room. Back in his soup room, Yu Zecheng waited silently, and when he came back, many cooks and handymen nodded to him, but no one dared to talk to him.

On the one hand, he knew that his mother needed to replenish his body, but his family was poor and had no money to buy supplements, and on the other hand, he didn't want to do chores for a lifetime. Therefore, he relied on the books he read, found a recipe for medicinal diet in "Suiyuan Travel", studied it painstakingly, and finally relied on this recipe to make a delicious medicinal diet nourishing soup.

After this soup was studied, Yu Zecheng took an opportunity to dedicate the soup, which was immediately praised by everyone, the taste was delicious, and it also had the effect of great tonics, which can be said to be rave reviews.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so his research results were peeped at by Wang Xuesen, the head chef of the kitchen, and relying on his power, Wang Xuesen wanted to buy the recipe for this soup.

Yu Zecheng didn't say a word, and sold it to Wang Xuesen at a price of ten taels of silver, but Wang Xuesen was tormented according to the recipe, and the soup he cooked did not have the taste of Yu Zecheng, it was either salty or light, and it was not delicious at all, and he was finally scolded by Ma Laohei.

Wang Xuesen found Yu Zecheng, and Yu Zecheng demonstrated the process of making soup in front of him, which was the same as the recording process of the recipe given to him, but Wang Xuesen made soup according to the same process, but it was not delicious, it was not as good as Yu Zecheng, and he couldn't make this delicious soup when he was tired.

So at the suggestion of the deputy hall master Cui Renxiong, Yu Zecheng became the youngest chef, in charge of the soup room, and made this big tonic soup for the powerful people in the hall.

Wang Xuesen knew that Yu Zecheng had left a hand, and he was very dissatisfied with this result. began to suppress Yu Zecheng, and then the two began to fight between chefs. Wang Xuesen first worked on the raw materials of the soup, shoddy, and wanted to ruin Yu Zecheng's reputation.

Yu Zecheng deliberately invited Cui Renxiong to find out the problem of raw materials, so that he began to fight back and make Wang Xuesen's behavior public, but Wang Xuesen was angrily scolded by Ma Laohei, if it weren't for his hard relationship and strong strength, he would have been kicked out of the kitchen by Cui Renxiong, and he never dared to work on raw materials again.

Wang Xuesen couldn't make a plan, and he had another plan, and in the name of Yu Zecheng's young age, he sent a chef to be his deputy, wanting to steal this soup. Yu Zecheng is unambiguous, does things in a proper manner, and doesn't see that he is a child at all. The deputy has been here for a month, and he has learned a little bit of every step well, but he just can't make a delicious broth.

During a big celebration in the hall, Yu Zecheng took the opportunity to take sick leave to rest for three days, and the deputy did not make a good soup in the past three days, and finally everyone knew that no one could make this soup except Yu Zecheng, and the deputy had to leave gloomily.

In this way, Yu Zecheng became Wang Xuesen, after several months of fighting, Wang Xuesen tried his best, and he did not learn the secret of this soup, and finally had to accept this reality and no longer had hope for this soup, so Yu Zecheng became the youngest chef in Black Tiger Hall.

Naturally, Wang Xuesen will not have a good face for Yu Zecheng from now on, Wang Xuesen has great power in the kitchen, so in the entire kitchen, no other chef and handyman dare to greet Yu Zecheng in front of Wang Xuesen. But no one dared to bully Yu Zecheng, because of the two fights in the past few months, everyone knew Yu Zecheng's methods as a little boy, and decided that he would definitely not be in the pool in the future.

Yu Zecheng sat in the soup room, he was thinking, the struggle in the past few months has made his mind mature and scheming, far beyond his peers.

Yu Zecheng was thinking about why Bai was so condescending and rewarding himself, he was a congenital master, even the master of the horse hall had to look at his eyes, the underworld hero Demon Sky Wolf died in his hands, how could he care so much about his soup?

In thinking, unconsciously Bai He's momentum made Yu Zecheng very envious, a young man in white, a handsome young man, a lupine scarf, young and golden, respected by everyone, and unconsciously he became Yu Zecheng's idol.

Sure enough, Cui Renxiong came after a while, went to the kitchen to arrange the work of the cook, called for the handyman to work, and finally walked to Yu Zecheng's soup room.

When Yu Zecheng saw Cui Renxiong, he immediately saluted and said:

"Hall Master, you are here, I deserve this reward, please help me send it back. ”

This is just rhetoric. Cui Renxiong is stingy and mean, and he has long coveted two taels of gold when he sees Bai He's reward, so he came here in the name of work, and when he saw that Yu Ze was sensible and contributed the gold to himself, he couldn't help but take it, nodded and said:

"Xiao Yuzi is really sensible, I'll help you return this gold. ”

After thinking about it, he felt that he was a little excessive, and then took out a silver ingot in the bag and said:

"Give you these ten taels of silver, and it won't be a vain joy. ”

Yu Zecheng took the silver, gold turned into silver, although the depreciation was amazing, but it can be regarded as a gain, Yu Zecheng said steadily:

"Thank you, Master. ”

Choi continued:

"Master Bai Shaomen has decided to stay here for a few days, and your soup should be prepared, so that there will be no soup to entertain people when you don't have it. ”

Yu Zecheng replied:

"Please rest assured, I have a spare portion of this soup, and I will never make a mistake in doing things. ”

Cui Renxiong nodded and said:

"You are steady and shrewd, I don't have to worry about doing things, how is your Tiger Roaring Heavenly Technique, if you cultivate to the Dacheng realm, I recommend you to study in the main hall, the little chef is a complete waste of your talent. ”

As long as the disciples of the Tiger Gang reach the age of six, they will choose one of the inner strength methods to practice in the Tiger Roaring Heavenly Formula, the Black Tiger Jin, the Golden Tiger Gong, the White Tiger Qi, the Purple Tiger Jue, and the Blue Tiger Sutra, among which the Tiger Roaring Heavenly Technique is the most primitive version of these exercises, and the other Five Tiger Internal Strength Mental Methods are all developed on this basis.

Although the name of the Tiger Roaring Heavenly Technique is loud, it is actually similar to the Luohan Boxing and Mantis Boxing that are circulated on the street, and they are very popular exercises. However, the exercises belong to the authentic mental method, which is characterized by a peaceful true qi and a stable foundation, and will never go mad. However, the growth of true qi is slow and the lethality is weak, so it will be transformed by the masters on this basis and develop the internal forces of the other five tigers. This kung fu, as long as you are not a fool, you will be cultivated to the realm of Dacheng in ten years at the latest, of course, this internal kung fu is not as strong as that.

Now there are very few Tiger Gang disciples to cultivate, when Yu Zecheng chose this internal strength, his grandfather Zhang Fushan was still there, and he was originally going to urge him at the age of ten to help him cultivate to the realm of Dacheng, so as to lay a good foundation, and practice the other five internal skills will be learned, who knows that when Yu Zecheng was ten years old, Zhang Fushan, who was known as the mountain axe, died outside for the Black Tiger Hall, and naturally no one else urged him to work, so he could only rely on self-cultivation.

Yu Zecheng replied:

"Thank you for your concern, the disciple is incompetent, I don't know why there is always a slight obstacle, I have not been able to cultivate it to the Dacheng realm. ”

Cui Renxiong nodded and said:

"Cultivation is like this, it's just that the time is not right, and if you persevere, you will definitely succeed. ”

Then he said a few more words, saying:

"Go home and rest, they've eaten almost enough today. Tomorrow morning will give you half a day off, they drink so much, they will never wake up tomorrow morning, remember to make a good soup for everyone tomorrow afternoon. ”

After saying that, Cui Renxiong left the kitchen, he, the deputy hall master, was in charge of all the internal affairs of the hall master, and he was very busy, and he left after arranging the work of the kitchen.

Yu Zecheng watched him leave, and began to clean up the soup room, the mother soup to be cooked tomorrow has been prepared, as long as some ingredients are added tomorrow, you can drink it after two hours. Yu Zecheng cleaned up the soup room, placed the items neatly, and then left the soup room.

Before leaving, Yu Zecheng took out a skin bag in his arms, and then poured some of the prepared broth into the skin bag, this is the soup he specially cooked, which is a great tonic, which has a certain subsidy effect on his mother's body, and Yu Zecheng will secretly take some home every time.

Walking out of the kitchen, it was already a day watch, and it was almost drunk inside, and while he was waiting, the head chef Wang Xuesen had already left.

Seeing that Yu Zecheng was leaving, Master Zhao, who was in charge of cleaning up the banquet, handed over a bag of leftovers, this is the welfare of the kitchen, the leftover wine and food in the lobby, these chefs and handymen can take home to their families to eat.

Yu Zecheng took it and said:

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. ”

Zhao Jun nodded, looked around and no one was paying attention, and said:

"Let's go back quickly. ”

Seeing Zhao Jun's actions, Yu Zecheng knew that there must be good things in the leftover wine and food, and sometimes people in the kitchen would take some good ingredients home as leftovers. This is the result of the struggle between himself and Wang Xuesen, no one dares to underestimate himself, and he will naturally think of himself when he divides things.

Yu Zecheng nodded, expressing his understanding and gratitude, and then walked out of the kitchen, left the Black Tiger Hall, and turned into the alley.

After walking for a stick of incense, I gradually returned home. Yu Zecheng's home is in Qianmen Alley, and the courtyard left by his grandfather has not been sold even at the most difficult moment. Although the courtyard of the house is not large, it is also a separate courtyard.

When he returned home, his mother was still waiting for him. The younger siblings were already asleep, and the meals that his mother had cooked for him were already cold, and when she saw him return, her mother got up to heat a hot meal for him.

Yu Zecheng stopped his mother's movements, went into the kitchen by himself, and re-boiled the broth in his skin. Then he opened the leftovers, and sure enough, under the leftovers distributed outside, there was a three-pound pork knuckle.

Yu Zecheng took out the pork knuckle and put the leftovers on a plate. These leftovers are also very good, except for the braised pork, which is the sauce bone, which has not been touched much, and is completely edible.

Yu Zecheng did all this, returned to the dining table and handed the soup to his mother, and then picked up the rice bowl and ate a few bites, in fact, he had already eaten enough in the Black Tiger Hall, and there was a chef who would be hungry for his stomach, so that eating a few bites at this time was just to deal with his mother, so as not to make her feel that her efforts were in vain.

Mother took the broth, drank it slowly, and said:

"This time it's a complete victory, Ma Laohei is indeed more capable than the old hall master, the old hall master has not won for twenty years, Ma Laohei wiped out the wolf gang in one year, it seems that he really underestimated him before. ”

Yu Zecheng nodded and said:

"Yes, from now on, the Black Tiger Hall will become the largest gang in Linhai City. In fact, if there is no help from the Shi family, if you don't invite those masters, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

Mother says:

"It seems that Ma Laohei is very discerning in marrying Shi Sanmei. Did the Chen family, the Tie family, and the Yu family in the city send someone over?"

余Zecheng says:

"I didn't come today, but I think someone will definitely come tomorrow, now the power of the Black Tiger Hall has increased greatly, whether they want to or not, from now on, the Black Tiger Hall will also be regarded as the six giants in Linhai City. ”

The mother continued:

"It's a pity that your grandfather didn't see this day, is that Demon Wolf dead? I heard that he has become an innate master?"

Yu Zecheng replied:

The child saw his head, which was killed by the master of Chishuimen Bai Shaomen, invited by Ma Laohei. ”

When the mother heard the news, she couldn't help but shed tears and said:

"Your grandfather died in the hands of the Demon Wolf, although it is normal for the children of the rivers and lakes to die on the battlefield, but this can be regarded as a great revenge. Tomorrow I will go and sweep the grave of his old man and tell him the good news. If you see this white young master, thank others. ”

余Zecheng says:

"I saw him today, and he praised the child's soup for its deliciousness, and rewarded him with ten taels of silver. ”

After speaking, he handed the tattooed silver to his mother. Mother took the money and said:

"I put it away for you, and I left it for you to marry a wife. But the junior of the old Xue family in the front yard broke his leg in this battle, and the old Li Tou of East Street also died in the battle, it just so happened that I went over to pay tribute to this money, and your grandfather helped us when he died, people can't have no conscience, so we have to help them at this time.

Although many people died in this big victory, it was worth it, the tide rose, and the disciples of the Black Tiger Hall raised their eyebrows when they walked on the street. Even we have borrowed light, today someone came to propose, Xu Erliang of Xu Ji Hotel at the front door found someone to come over to propose, his daughter is white and tender, at first glance it is a good family's child, what do you think? ”

Yu Zecheng shook his head and said:

"Mother, I'm still young, it's too early to talk about this, let's wait two years to talk about it. ”

Mother says:

"If you are optimistic, you have to start, and you have to wait for two years? ”

Yu Zecheng was silent, his mother knew that Yu Zecheng would never repent of what he had said, and knew that it was useless to say anything, so she didn't say anything, packed up her meals and left.

Yu Zecheng returned to his room, lit the oil lamp, picked up the books on the desk, and began to read. These books were left by his father, after his father lost his position as a deacon, he joined the caravan of the gang and traveled north and south, although it was very hard and could not be at home all the time, but Yu Zecheng could feel his father's inner excitement, in fact, his father liked this kind of life of traveling merchants everywhere, and he could travel all over the world.

Every time my father came back, he would bring a book for Yu Zecheng, most of which were miscellaneous travelogues of the sages and Confucians.

Yu Zecheng especially likes to read these books left by his father, in the book Tiannan Kyushu, and even Mobei, Suiyuan, Chuxi, Ancient Qin Those distant regions are all recorded, so that Yu Zecheng can read with relish, his biggest ideal is to go to these places to take a look, Yu Zecheng's greatest wish is to go all over the world like Ming Chuanyu, and also leave his own travelogue, so that future generations can watch and envy.

In this firmament world, travel all over the six domains. This can only be a dream, not to mention that he is a little mortal, even an immortal cannot travel through the Six Domains like this.

Yu Zecheng looked through the books for a while under the oil lamp, and Yu Zecheng, the books left by his father at home, had already flipped through them many times, and he could even recite them backwards. Suddenly, Yu Zecheng had an idea, should I go to the street tomorrow to buy two books to read.
