Chapter 91: Blade Work 2

  "Where are you going, Xiao Yao?" asked Princess Ke Xin, unaware that Xiao Yao was going to prepare some medicinal dishes for Mrs. Ke.

  "I'm going to the kitchen to make some medicinal dishes, and I'll take a look at what ingredients are available to make some small dishes! Princess Ke Xin, don't call me 'young master' or anything like that, I'm just a small household servant, it's too much for me to bear, you can just call me by my name!" Xiao Yao said as he repeated this request once again, not for the first time, asking Princess Ke Xin to stop using honorifics when addressing him.

  "If you call me Ke Xin, I'll call you Xiao Yao!" Princess Ke Xin said with a smile.

  "......" Xiao Yao didn't say anything more, that's it, anyway there's nothing much, after all it's just a title.

  "Can the young master still cook medicinal dishes? Will he go down to the kitchen?" Princess Ke Xin asked with some surprise, but after thinking about it for a moment, she felt that it was very normal.

  "Of course, I'm a household servant, it's only natural to go down to the kitchen." Xiao Yao said casually and then left. Xiao Ai had already instructed the people at Fengxiang Building that someone would take Xiao Yao to the kitchen.

  Yaoshan Fengxiang Building also has the ability to do so, and the materials are all available. Xiang doesn't need to buy materials again. Originally, it was arranged for Fengxiang Building to do it, but the problem is that Ke's wife's physique is a bit special, with many places to pay attention to. If you explain one by one, he feels very annoyed, and he can handle it himself if he has time.

  In response to the guest's request to go down to the kitchen, Fengxiang Building would not have agreed, but the other party was Ke's family, and they were making medicinal dishes, so they agreed. They let Xiao Yao enter the kitchen and gave up a position for Xiao Yao to use, and also prepared to configure a small worker to help Xiao Yao.

  Xiaoyao thanked Phoenix Pavilion for their kind intentions, but he could handle it himself and didn't need anyone else to lend a hand!!

  As for the people of Fengxiang Building, they didn't mind either. They just sent someone to keep an eye on Xiao Yao and not let him do anything special. This is not because they don't trust him, after all, the kitchen is the lifeblood of the wine building, and Xiao Yao's influence has affected other dishes. Their golden signboard was smashed.

  The person watching Xiangyang was originally a little worker who was prepared to help Xiangyang, but after being rejected, the little worker felt a bit resentful and coldly watched Xiangyang from the side.

  "Hmph! Let me see what you're capable of, don't need my help!!"

  The little worker looked at Xiangyang with an unpleasant attitude, but soon his displeasure turned into astonishment. He couldn't believe that the young man in front of him had incredible knife skills, even the best knife workers in Fengxiang Building could only look up to him!

  Xiaoyao entered the kitchen and after preparing the ingredients, he quickly and skillfully washed them, then began to showcase his incredible knife skills.

  In the Mo family kitchen, everyone loved to have Xiao Yao help out. Because Xiao Yao's knife skills were incredibly strong, stronger than anyone else, and what others needed a whole day to do, he could finish in just one hour, and this "others" was still a cook with very strong knife skills himself.

  The knife work is not only fast, but also even and delicate, with accurate force, and can't find any flaws!!

  This is why Wandering has to come himself. If he lets others do it, just the time spent on carving alone would take up half a day and may still go wrong.

  "Little Xu, who is this person? The new cook we just hired? His knife skills are so strong, even the imperial chef of the Tang Empire wouldn't be a match for him!" A kitchen staff member taking a break discovered Xiao Yao and asked in shock.

  "I don't know, he brought it himself. Tell our kitchen to make a medicinal dish!" The little worker shook his head and replied.

  "Did the guest bring this himself? Is he doubting our culinary skills?" The chef, at this moment, wasn't admiring Pariah's knife work, but rather felt a pang of jealousy, finding it quite dazzling.

  "It's not that they have other dishes, it's still ours. What you're doing now is one of them, but for these few medicinal dishes, we need to be a bit more particular, because it seems like Mrs. Ke wants to eat them!" Little Gong replied.

  "Mrs. Ke? Which Mrs. Ke?" The cook was puzzled.

  "It's the one I mentioned a few days ago, the Mrs. Ke who was almost dead but was saved by Dr. Xiao. She's just recovered from her illness, so she needs to be treated specially." Little Gong replied, seemingly not an ordinary little worker, as he seemed quite clear about these things.

  "It was her after all! No wonder!" The cook understood now and looked at Xiao Yao with a more pleasant expression.

  After watching for a while, the chef's expression became serious again, muttering to himself: "This person's knife skills don't seem simple, not something an ordinary chef can practice out, it seems like there's a kind of intent in his knife work, he's a martial artist!! No wonder..."

  Although this cook had never learned martial arts, he was a high-level chef. Chefs may not understand martial arts, but they are all skilled with knives, so they are more sensitive to the way of using knives.

  On the mainland, there is a saying: The person who uses knives best is not a swordsman, but a chef!!

  A swordsman can only use a sword to kill people, but a chef can use a knife to dissect all living things, including humans!!!

  However, this statement is also a bit one-sided, because the two types of people are pursuing different realms. A chef's knife skills may not necessarily be possessed by a swordsman, and conversely, a swordsman's skills may not necessarily be possessed by a chef.

  His superb knife skills are indeed not ordinary, as he has infused his intent into them. For him, a chef's knife skills are also a kind of swordsmanship and a path to self-cultivation. From his knife skills, he has gained many insights.

  The more he comprehended, the more helpful it was to his knife intent. At the same time, his knife skills also became stronger and stronger, changing until finally, they were almost unbelievably strong.

  With good knife skills, cooking skills will naturally not be bad either. There is a saying in the kitchen -

  Three points of stove, seven points of foundation!

  Soon, the cooking shifted from the stove to the furnace, stir-frying, stewing, steaming…… One person was actually making several dishes at the same time. To say that stewing and steaming are understandable, but he also simultaneously performed stir-frying and deep-frying, which requires not only superb culinary skills but also high coordination and most importantly speed.

  In an instant, the little worker and the cook on one side were stunned, and the cook even forgot that he was just taking a break, while the other side already needed him. Fortunately, there were others watching, otherwise this time they would really have to smash the sign of Fengxiang Building.

  However, the situation with Xiao Yao over here has slowly affected the entire kitchen, and almost everyone has put down what they were doing to watch Xiao Yao.

  And they all had the same expression, eyes wide with mouth agape, a look of "I don't believe this is happening".

  Xiaoyao didn't change anything because of this, he just continued doing his own thing, cooking dish after dish and letting people take them away.

  "You can look, but don't bother me. And if you keep looking, the guests in front will riot..." Xiao Yao reminded with a smile after serving another dish.

  But then, as if in coordination with the carefree atmosphere, a seemingly high-ranking manager rushed in, took one look at the situation and was taken aback for a moment before bellowing: "What are you people doing?! Don't any of you want to work anymore?! The customers outside have been asking for their orders several times already!!

  "Ah..."

  "Ah!"

  "For a moment... the kitchen was in disarray, but it quickly returned to normal working conditions, as if everyone had just woken up from a dream and realized they were still on the job."

  It's not the time to admire others' cooking skills now, otherwise you'll have to lament that you've been fired!

  "Borrow some small dishes, make something simple, scrambled eggs with rice, boiled cabbage, even the lady can eat some ordinary home-cooked dishes..." Xiangyao finally made two dishes and brought them over himself.

  Just as Xiao Yao finished on this side, in the hall where Da Jie and others were, a group of women exclaimed because they had eaten something delicious that they had never tasted before.

  "This is truly unbelievable... How come I didn't think the dishes at Fengxiang Building were so delicious before? It's even better than the imperial kitchen in the palace!!" Xiaohui couldn't help but exclaim after finishing the dishes on the table.

  At this time, Xiao Ai still thought that these dishes were from Fengxiang Building. She didn't know that the dishes she was eating now were made by Xiangyao. She only thought that Xiangyao only made medicinal dishes, and at this time, the medicinal dishes had not been served yet. The medicinal dishes took a bit longer to prepare.

  Xiaoyao made other dishes, mainly to reward Guxing. Originally, his dishes would be mixed with other dishes, but unexpectedly, the kitchen delayed other dishes because of his existence, and his dishes became the only ones that came up.

  "Really, this is much better than before!!" Ke Shan thought Xiao Ai was exaggerating, but after he ate it, he felt that Xiao Ai wasn't exaggerating at all.

  "Hmm, this is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten!" Princess Ke Xin and several others also joined in the admiration, "The New Moon Empire is indeed the New Moon Empire, such exquisite cuisine, we don't have it in Tianfeng Country!"

  "It's not that there isn't any, it's just that you don't know...". The young lady took a sip and said casually, then continued drinking.

  At this time, almost everyone looked at the big sister, not only because of the big sister's words, but also because the big sister only ate one bite, and others couldn't help but take a few bites. If they weren't afraid of eating too much, each of them would have finished the whole plate.

  "Moh language, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that you've had something even more delicious? That's impossible, right? The chef in your household isn't as good as the one in mine." Nangong Suxin said. She still hadn't truly tasted Xiangyao's culinary skills, it was easy to get Xiangyao to cook, but the problem was that he only cooked for Gu Xing, and occasionally a bit for the young miss, Nangong Suxin had never been given any because she was from the Nangong family, not the Moh family.

  "Our kitchen is no good, but I have a small home cook, so far, I haven't found anything he can't do, including cooking!!" The young lady replied with a smile.

  "Is it really just a small home?"
