Chef's Knife

Chu Yuanzhong never thought that he would see Luo Sheng again on such an occasion.

Since the glimpse of Baiweilou, Master Chu has never been more interested in the owner of those eyes.

He, who has always been indifferent to things other than money and power, used his contacts for the first time to investigate a person who seemed to have nothing to do with him. He was eager to know everything about Baiweilou and that person.

He knew the succession and succession of the 'No. [-] Building in the World', as well as the legend about the 'God of Cooking'.

It is rumored that this is a short-lived family, and the youngest sons of each generation are born with deficiencies and are prone to premature death. Even if they survive by chance, they will not escape the fate of premature death.It is the limit for almost every generation of Luo Sheng to live to be 30 years old, which is why the chef has passed down four generations in just over a hundred years.

It is rumored that each generation of "Luo Sheng" married a wife and had children in their hometown when they were [-] or [-] years old; shortly after the baby boy was born, news of the death came from Kyoto, and the young boy packed his bags and left his hometown to Kyoto to inherit Baiweilou, becoming a A new generation of 'Master Chef'.

The youngest son, who can only be supported by the water and soil of his hometown, is raised by his mother until his father dies.Such a cycle goes on and on, inheriting the story of God of Cooking.

However, no one knows where the hometown of the God of Cooking is, nor where the dead God of Cooking was finally buried.Just like 120 years ago in Tai/Zu Kaiyuan era, when the first young man named Luo Sheng came to Chang'an with a pot on his back; no one knew where he came from, no one knew where his home was; he was like a For a wandering wanderer in the world, Chang'an is the end of his journey, and Baiwei Tower is the lair he built.

Everything about 'Luo Sheng' is like an insoluble mystery.

Chu Yuanzhong met Luo Sheng at the casino.

That person walked into the underground village cautiously, no matter whether it was the clothes or the expression on his face, he was out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere.

The gamblers and clerks in the gambling shop were all amazed when they saw him; the green clothes showed his identity as a chef, which was refreshing.What year and month is this, when good cooks don’t cook, they come to the casino to play the dice?

"Yo, this boss," the guy has worked in the casino for many years, and he has a sharp eye and rich experience. With a glance, he can tell that Luo Sheng's appearance is definitely not here to gamble, "Who are you looking for?"

But for people like this, coming to the casino is nothing more than two things; one is to find someone, and the other is to give money, usually both.Some rich and noble families gave birth to a prodigal son, spending a lot of money here all day long, and it is natural to lose more and win less.He was so chic, and he dragged his family members over every three days to wipe the ass of that hapless bastard.

Whose family has this ancestor, it is the end, there will be no rest for a day.

"Excuse me, may I ask where is Liu Xuzhi?" Luo Sheng coughed and asked with a frown.

The stale, foul smell and the noisy din made him uncomfortable, and he had come in a hurry with his apron on, one sleeve rolled over the other.In a place like this, it looks like an outlier.

After listening to Luo Sheng's question, the expressions of the spectators on the side became even more exciting, and there was even a bit of bitter sympathy in the gloating.

"Hey, are you looking for that kid from the Liu family?" The guy was also amused, "Hey, thank God, you came at the right time! If you're later, I'll collect that kid's body——"

Before he finished speaking, he saw two burly men coming over from the other end, and raised his hand to throw one over.The man was smashed to the ground from the air, and grinned for a while as soon as he landed.When he looked up, he saw Luo Sheng, as if he saw his own father, hugging his thighs with snot and tears all over his face, he howled for a while.

"Uncle Luo! You're here, wow...you, you don't know...they, they're going to sell me to the barn..."

Luo Sheng, who had a gentle temper, didn't have any expression on his face at the moment.He pulled out his legs calmly, raised his head and negotiated with the person.

"The villain's surname is Luo, and he is the young man's uncle."

"Oh! Are you from this kid's family?" The man who came out later grinned and showed a mouthful of gold teeth, sat down on the chair, squinted at him and said, "Okay, since you're here Don't talk nonsense! Take out 5000 taels in a hurry, or I will have someone abolish him immediately!"

Luo Sheng took a deep breath to suppress the fire, frowned and lowered his head to look at the willow catkins spread out on the ground; the latter lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look at him.

"5000 taels?" He took out a bank note from his pocket, put it lightly on the table and turned around, "I'll take it away."

"Hey, wait a minute!" That Gold Tooth didn't expect Luo Sheng to pay out so happily, first he was taken aback, then raised Erlang's legs, and sneered at him, "Don't leave in a hurry, this matter It’s not over yet! Let’s do the math, your precious nephew owes our casino a debt of not one or two days, 5000 taels? Huh, that’s just today! He’s lost a lot in the past... Let's settle it together today, so as to save trouble in the future!"

"How much?" Luo Sheng was unmoved, but turned around and asked, "Let's listen."

"Hey..." Jin Ya smashed his lips with a smirk, shook the paper fan in his hand and called out, "Ask Wang Wu to bring the account book over here, and make it clear for him!"

Immediately there came a guy who looked like a bamboo pole, holding a thick stack of papers, all of which were IOUs.The year, month, and day are clearly written, with red handprints on them.Not to mention, let's just talk about these three months, this bastard got a windfall from nowhere, plunged his head into the casino and gambled badly regardless of day or night, and the gambling debts he owed became sky-high.

The people around Chu Yuanzhong also explained to Master Chu with relish, "The catkin is the son of Langzhong Liu of Tongrentang. The Liu family was originally a family of Xinglin, and the ancestors even had imperial physicians! It's a pity that there are few people nowadays. It also gradually declined. In Liu Langzhong's generation, he worked as a sitting doctor in Tongrentang to make a living. He looked upright and didn't see anything wrong, but he gave birth to such a careless and unlucky son! Alas, all day long You know how to gamble without learning or skill.”

"The Liu family has been in decline, and there is nothing good left except for a few broken medical books. This kid took half of the family's wealth in a single bet, and Liu Langzhong, who is a father, is also chilled, and he let go of this son. Lah. To the outside world, he said that he was dead and never gave birth to this prodigal son, and now he doesn’t know where such a big guy came from, and he actually wants to pay for this kid, oh! This is a strange thing that happens every year, especially this year—”
