Wuhan duck neck that transcends time

Chapter 207: The Duck Neck Shop That Traveled Through Time

Under the impact of the spacetime distortion, Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef's bodies suddenly disappeared. When they woke up again, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment, next to a quaint little shop with a sign that read: "The Time-Traveling Duck Neck Shop".

Under the impact of the spacetime distortion, Cuihua and the AI ​​braised chef suddenly felt as if their bodies were being swallowed by a powerful attraction. Then everything went black and they lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Cuihua slowly woke up. She felt a heaviness in her head, and when she opened her eyes, everything around her was blurry. The dizziness gradually subsided only after Cuihua blinked.

Cuihua looked around and found herself in an unfamiliar environment. The sky here was an unusual purple, with twinkling stars occasionally streaking across the horizon. In front of her was a quaint little shop with a sign that read: "The Duck Neck Shop That Travels Through Time".

Cuihua was a little stunned. What was going on? Time travel? A duck neck shop?

Just then, the AI-powered braised chef slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Cuihua standing there in a daze, so he asked, "Cuihua, where is this?"

Cuihua turned around and found that the AI ​​chef had woken up, so she said, "I don't know either. I only know that we were brought here by a time-space distortion."

AI-powered braised chef nodded and said, "Space-time distortion? What an amazing power."

Cuihua walked over to the AI ​​Braised Food Master, and the two of them looked around the duck neck shop together. From the outside, the shop was unremarkable, but Cuihua could sense the strange power contained within it.

"Let's go in and take a look," Cuihua suggested.

The AI-powered braised chef nodded in agreement. The two pushed open the shop door, and a strange, enticing aroma wafted out. Following the scent, Cuihua and the AI-powered braised chef entered the shop.

The shop was filled with all sorts of ingredients and seasonings, including some that Cuihua had never seen before. In a corner of the shop, a middle-aged man was busily preparing something.

Upon seeing the guests enter, the man looked up and greeted them, "Please feel free to look around, both of you." Then he continued with his work.

Cuihua and AI Braised Food Master walked around the shop and found that apart from the middle-aged man, there were no other staff members.

"What kinds of seasonings are here?" Cuihua asked curiously.

The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing and explained, "These are rare seasonings collected from various time periods. The braised dishes made with these seasonings have an indescribable deliciousness."

"Time-space collection?" the AI ​​chef asked in confusion.

The middle-aged man smiled and explained, "Yes. This shop has a special power that allows it to travel through time and space to collect all kinds of rare seasonings and ingredients. Only those who possess this power can make authentic braised dishes."

Cuihua and the AI-powered braised chef exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected this shop to possess such magical power. Who, then, was the owner of this shop? Their minds were filled with questions.

The middle-aged man seemed to sense their confusion and said, "My name is Li Hua, and I am the owner of this shop. I am also the only person who can use these seasonings and ingredients."

Upon hearing Li Hua's self-introduction, both Cuihua and the AI ​​Braised Chef were somewhat surprised. Li Hua looked at their expressions, smiled, and continued, "I know what you're thinking. You must be wondering who I am and why I possess this power."

“That’s right,” AI Braised Chef readily admitted, “We were indeed a bit curious.”

Under the impact of the spacetime distortion, Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef's bodies suddenly disappeared. When they woke up again, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment, next to a quaint little shop with a sign that read: "The Time-Traveling Duck Neck Shop".

Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef looked at each other, their expressions filled with confusion and curiosity. They were used to strange events in their daily lives, but this time-traveling adventure was undoubtedly the most bizarre of all.

Pushing open the shop door, Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef entered. It was a small shop with a simple yet cozy atmosphere, filled with all sorts of food. "Welcome to the Time-Traveling Duck Neck Shop," a young shopkeeper dressed in ancient costume greeted them with a smile, his tone revealing a sense of mystery.

"You mean we really traveled through time?" Cuihua asked cautiously.

The shop owner smiled and nodded. "Yes, dear guest. This is a special shop that connects different times and spaces. You can only enter our shop at specific points in time and space."

AI Lu Chef's eyes widened. "This is incredible! Can we choose time and space?"

The shop owner smiled and said, "Of course. There are various time tunnels here, connected by food and timelines. You can choose which time to go to according to your own wishes and experience different lives."

Cuihua's heart stirred. She had always dreamed of seeing a wider world, especially after her sparring session with Master Crow, which fueled her even greater desire to explore time and space. "If that's really the case, I want to go to an ancient time and space."

The shop owner smiled and nodded. "Very good, dear guests. Now, please enjoy your own time-travel journey."

After saying that, the shop owner took out a golden duck neck and handed it to Cuihua, saying, "This is the most special delicacy in our shop. If you eat it, you will travel to the time and space you choose."

Cuihua gripped the golden duck neck tightly, feeling its warmth, her heart surging with excitement and curiosity. She took a deep breath and then took a bite.

In an instant, she felt herself enveloped by a powerful force, and the scenery before her changed drastically. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an ancient building.

The building was magnificent and imposing, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. Looking around at the crowd, she saw exquisite clothing and ancient culture. In an instant, she realized she had been transported to an ancient time and place.

"Finally, I've met you, the legendary time-traveling duck neck shop." A voice suddenly reached Cuihua's ears. She turned her head and saw a woman dressed in ancient costume with a strange light in her eyes.

"Who are you?" Cuihua asked curiously. The people in this time and space seemed to know about her all along, as if they were waiting for her arrival.

The woman smiled and approached Cuihua. "I am the queen of this city and the ruler of this time and space. I know you come from the duck neck shop that has traveled through time, and I have been waiting for your arrival."

Under the impact of the spacetime distortion, Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef's bodies suddenly disappeared. They felt themselves being pulled by a powerful force, as if they were passing through an invisible door.

When they awoke again, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment. They were surrounded by an ancient complex of buildings, with various small shops lining the streets and a constant stream of pedestrians. Beside them stood a quaint little shop with a sign that read: "The Duck Neck Shop That Travels Through Time."

Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and confusion in each other's eyes. They didn't understand what was going on, why they were in this place.

Just then, a voice rang in their ears: "Welcome to the time-traveling duck neck shop."

Cuihua and Ai Lu, the master chef, turned around and saw an old man dressed in ancient clothing standing in front of them. He had a kind smile on his face and his eyes were full of wisdom.

The old man continued, "You don't need to be surprised. This is a crossroads of time and space, connecting different eras and spaces. We specialize in providing time travel services to help people realize their wishes."

Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef were even more puzzled after hearing this. They didn't know who this old man was, nor did they know what this so-called "time-traveling service" meant.

The old man seemed to sense their confusion and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll explain it clearly. First of all, I want to tell you that our service is completely free; you only need to spend a little time and effort."

Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef were somewhat puzzled and asked, "Then what do we need to do?"

Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef stared blankly at the shop, completely at a loss for what to do. This was their first time traveling to another timeline; their previous travels had all been within the same timeframe.

"Where is this place?" Cuihua asked.

Ai Lu, the master chef, shook his head, also at a loss. But he believed that the shop's name might help them figure out where they were.

So they went into the small shop. Once inside, they were amazed to find that the interior was a perfect blend of ancient and modern styles.

At this moment, a tall, thin man who was in charge of the business walked over from behind the counter. Seeing Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef, he smiled and asked, "Welcome to the Time-Traveling Duck Neck Shop. Is there anything you need?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Lu Chef was extremely astonished. This shop really was a time-traveling shop; had they truly traveled to another dimension?

"Excuse me, where is this place?" Cuihua asked.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is a place of time travel; you've arrived in another time and space."

Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef were stunned by this answer. They slapped their faces with their hands, trying to prove that they were still alive in reality.

The shop owner, noticing their surprise, explained, "This shop is a magical place where you can travel through different times and spaces to obtain different delicacies. We offer a variety of delicious foods from different times and places. The time and space you've come to today is a small town in Wuhan, and our duck neck is one of the specialties of this time and space."

Upon hearing this, Ai the Braised Chef was overjoyed. Back in their modern days, they also owned a famous duck neck shop. Coming here, they could enjoy delicacies from another time, and they were incredibly excited.

“We’d like to try the duck necks here,” Cuihua said.

The shop owner was delighted and prepared a serving of duck necks for them. Upon their first bite, they were overwhelmed by the aroma and irresistible deliciousness. This was the taste of a different time. Cuihua and Ai, the master chef, savored the duck necks, as if transported back in time to another era in Wuhan, experiencing the culture and atmosphere of that time.

After they finished eating, the shop owner took a small box from the counter and handed it to Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef, saying, "This is a special gift from our shop, a souvenir for you."

"Thank you very much," Cuihua replied gratefully.

They felt incredibly honored and happy to have explored a new time and space and tasted cuisines from different places. They left the "time-traveling duck neck shop" with great excitement. This experience will become an unforgettable memory for them.

When Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef woke up in this unfamiliar environment, they were both confused and curious. They found themselves in a quaint little shop with a sign that read: "The Duck Neck Shop That Travels Through Time".

Cuihua looked around and noticed that the shop's decor was unique, full of ancient charm. The tables and chairs were all made of wood with exquisite carvings, and the walls were adorned with scrolls displaying various delicious duck necks.

Ai Lu Chef noticed that the shop window displayed many strange utensils, some of which looked like ancient cooking tools, while others were devices he had never seen before.

Just then, an elderly man in a long robe came out from the inner room, smiling at them. "Welcome to the Time-Traveling Duck Neck Shop," the old man said. "I have duck necks from various times here, so you can taste the flavors of different dynasties and cultures."

Cuihua looked at the old man in surprise and asked, "You mean, there are duck necks here from different times and spaces?"

The old man nodded. "Yes, the duck necks here encompass five thousand years of culinary culture, including imperial duck necks from the Tang Dynasty, Dongpo duck necks from the Song Dynasty, and even technologically advanced duck necks from the future. You can find anything you can imagine here."

Chef Ai asked curiously, "Then how can we taste these duck necks from different times and places?"

The old man smiled and took out an ancient scroll, saying, "You need to complete a task. Only by completing the task can you be qualified to taste these duck necks."

Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef agreed to the old man's request and began their task. They needed to help the old man solve some problems related to duck necks, such as how to make the duck necks too greasy, how to improve the texture and flavor of the duck necks, and so on.

In the process of completing their mission, Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef learned a great deal about the making and history of duck necks. They discovered some valuable recipes, learned how to blend unique seasonings, and even researched some future duck neck making techniques.

After much effort, Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef finally completed their mission. As promised, the old man invited them to taste duck necks from different times and spaces. They sampled various delicious duck necks, as if embarking on a culinary journey across time.

Finally, Cuihua and Ai Lu Chef expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the old man and bid farewell to the time-traveling duck neck shop. As they walked out of the shop, they were surprised to find themselves back in their original universe. This wondrous experience made them cherish everything around them even more and strengthened their resolve to promote Wuhan duck neck.
