Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

Xu Xin: "Oh, what bad thing happened? Tell me and make your sister happy!"

Watching Xu Xin's remarks that exposed her true nature, Xue Xi was speechless and told him what she had seen and heard in the village.

Xu Xin: "(——Shocked) What? You actually accepted a little girl whose background you don't know as your apprentice. That's so hasty!"

Xue Xi: "This is not important. No one can learn my special effects. The main thing is that your food competition is too unprofitable. If this kind of food can win a prize, it would be too~"

Xu Xin: "Well, food competitions below the city level are basically like this. The emphasis is on participation, but competitions above that are still worth watching. Even at the world-class level, there are many people who can perfectly replicate the taste of Hua Xia Hotel's food."

Xue Xi's eyes lit up. So that's it. But is it a perfect replica? Xue Xi's eyes showed an expectant look. Just as she was about to ask something else, she saw Tang Xiaoyou next to her come online with her bulging belly and greasy mouth.

Xue Xi: "Sister Xin, let's not talk about this for now. My stupid apprentice is online. We can talk again when we have time. I'm going to teach my apprentice now."

Xu Xin, who was building the Huaxia Hotel in the virtual universe of Guyue Universe, closed the communication panel with great interest. It seemed that the next world-class food conference would be interesting. With a change of mind, she sent a message to the person in charge of the game operation section and asked for a seat on the judges' panel.

As for Xue Xi, Tang Xiaoyou came up to her and complained when he saw her, saying how hard it was to swallow the roasted beast meat prepared by the tribe's chef.

He reached out to stop the apprentice from continuing to complain: "I have already found a good place. If I want to take over the power of cooking in your family and make lunch delicious, and if you want to get pocket money for the food competition, then you have to learn from me seriously."

The two wanted to accurately grasp Tang Xiaoyou's pain points, and her eyes instantly became very firm.

They came to a village kitchen that had been borrowed in advance. Xue Xi and Tang Xiaoyou were wearing aprons, and various ingredients were placed in the baskets around them. Tang Xiaoyou stared at Xue Xi with anticipation.

Xue Xi paced back and forth, drafted a plan for apprenticeship and immediately executed it: "Xiaoyou, before cooking, you must know that cooking is like being a human being. You must treat every step carefully, understand?"

Tang Xiaoyou looked at the fresh fruits in the frame and nodded unconsciously. Xue Xi felt helpless and thought, forget it, let's teach her to cook first. After all, she is only 12 years old.

He coughed to draw her attention back: "First, we need to know how to select fresh ingredients. Then, we need to learn the skills of cutting vegetables. The knife skills must be delicate and powerful, as well as the control of heat and the combination of seasonings. This is the focus of our next study."

As the sun sets, Xue Xi's stern teaching voice can be heard from the kitchen. Tang Xiaoyou also shows his tenacity. Although he keeps saying that he is tired, he never stops using the kitchen knife in his hand, trying his best to complete every task assigned by Xue Xi.

A month passed quickly, and Tang Xiaoyou's knife skills were the fastest improving among the basic skills of a chef. Although it was still far from the level of carving, at least the basic shape and symmetry of the ingredients could be guaranteed.

Secondly, the knowledge of various seasonings is sufficient. Maybe I fail to grasp them well occasionally, but it is not too outrageous. Generally speaking, it is more than enough to cope with this village-level food competition.

On this day, holding the wooden kitchen knife sharpened by his master, Tang Xiaoyou stepped onto the 158th Xujiazhuang competition stage trembling with fear.

The judges' voices came from the loud speaker at the entrance of the village. All 50 contestants on the stage opened fire at the same time. A group of NPC atmosphere group began to shout and encourage vigorously, which ignited a sense of self-confidence in the contestants' hearts, and they all tossed their pots and spoons into the air.

Tang Xiaoyou kept praying to Chef God Xue Xi to bless her in her heart to calm her nervous mood. She ignored the noise made by the contestants around her and recalled the teachings of her cheap master in her mind.

She took her time selecting ingredients, cutting vegetables, and cooking. Although a crazy contestant nearby threw the pot and spoon into the stove during the process, overall she was able to make use of the results of this month's work.

Thus, when more than half of the contestants were asked to leave the competition venue for excessive language, half were banned for a year by the blue-faced judges for adding lethal amounts of seasonings, and the rest served mushy dishes, Tang Xiaoyou deservedly won the championship of the Xujiazhuang village-level food conference. At the same time, 1000 cosmic crystals were transferred into her personal account, and she was qualified to participate in the town-level food conference three weeks later.

Having tasted the sweetness, Tang Xiaoyou immediately came to the place where he was learning cooking with the village gold medal honor.

Xue Xi was swaying in the rocking chair, with a palm-leaf fan on her face, her hair sliding down the sides of the chair, and faint snoring sounds could be heard in the afternoon sun and breeze.

Tang Xiaoyou quietly approached the master's chair and quickly tied a bow on both sides of Xue Xi's hair. Just as she was about to take a picture, she saw Xue Xi grab the handle of the fan between her chest and hit Tang Xiaoyou on the head.

"Ouch~ It hurts, it hurts, hehe, Master, you are awake. Look, I am the champion!" Tang Xiaoyou, who was caught on the spot, rolled his eyes, picked up the gold medal and placed it in front of Xue Xi like a treasure in an attempt to change the subject.

Xue Xi rolled her eyes and stretched herself up from the rocking chair. "You're so happy about just a village championship. If you can't even get this today, you probably won't be able to see me again."

Tang Xiaoyou panicked visibly when she heard this. Apart from her brother, there was no one in the tribe that she could play with. After spending a month with her master, she didn't want to lose this beautiful master who made her feel like an older sister. "Why, Master?"

Xue Xi hardened her heart and said, "If my apprentice can't even become the champion in this game, then there is no point in continuing to teach him."

Tang Xiaoyou placed the gold medal beside him, feeling a little disappointed, but then he looked into Xue Xi's eyes as if a fire had ignited: "Master, don't worry, I will study hard, and I will always be your apprentice!"

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she quickly suppressed it and said sternly: "Then why are you still standing there? Have you finished today's practice?" Tang Xiaoyou immediately stood up, rolled up his sleeves and said with full fighting spirit: "I'll go right away!"

"Wait a moment!" Xue Xi called out to Tang Xiaoyou, "Give me the gold medals. I'll keep them for you. When you have collected all seven gold medals, I'll officially accept you as my disciple in reality and give you a surprise then."

Tang Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment, his eyes sparkling like when he first saw the master. He handed the gold medal he had worked so hard for a month to the master, then walked into the kitchen with excitement and started cooking.

Xue Xi lay on the chair again, looking at the shining medal in her hand in the sunlight, and put it in her gaming backpack.
