Mecha Era for Kitchen

Before Chen Zikai's consciousness completely returned to his mind, he felt that there were bursts of huge roars that tormented his hearing from near to far, and he struggled to open his eyes—the first picture imprinted in his mind The picture is not clear what kind of material it is made of, but it is full of tall white buildings around, and a dozen or so five to ten-meter-high buildings walking in a column about 100 meters away. Humanoid behemoth.

Compared with those white buildings with strange shapes, the group of giants was obviously more able to attract Chen Zikai's attention immediately.

Wait...a five to ten meter giant?

Chen Zikai, who was still in a state of mental instability, suppressed his inner unease, and took a closer look—those tall giants were not flesh and blood, but tall machines with metallic luster refracted all over their bodies.

……what is this?

Chen Zikai's eyes widened, watching the groups of metal hunks who could scare people to death walking in an orderly manner on the road, the ground seemed to be trembling slightly with their uniform steps.His body was also trembling with the tremors, and four words suddenly popped up in his mind-this is, change...change...

— Transformers! ?

Are you dreaming! ?

...it doesn't seem quite right...

The Man of Steel lined up to and fro around him, as if they were on patrol duty. From Chen Zikai's point of view, they were not moving fast, but they had an astonishing momentum.He moved his body back a little timidly, just leaning against a corner, a cold touch came from his back, and the huge temperature difference made his body tremble—if this was a dream, it would be too real Bar?

I remember that he was still picking matsutake in the mountains and forests of Yunnan before—yes, it was matsutake.

Thinking of this, Chen Zikai subconsciously moved his left hand, feeling that he was still holding a rope. He looked over and saw the small bag that had been dusty with dust and mud, and there were several round and dirty bags exposed at the mouth. The sloppy matsutake head.

Looking at these fresh matsutakes of different sizes, although his body was still trembling, he could finally recall what happened to him.

As an extremely dedicated chef—yes, Chen Zikai is a chef, or the kind of head chef in a high-end hotel who gets tired of doing it, so he runs out alone and opens his own restaurant. He needs to be capable and famous. , a five-star chef with honors from the Chefs Association.

And next month happens to be the annual National Gold Medal Chef Competition held by the Association of Chefs.

According to the usual practice, Chen Zikai, who was appointed by the association as one of the judges, needs to show off his culinary skills at the beginning of the competition. After much deliberation, he still can't decide what dish he wants to cook, Sichuan cuisine?Or Hunan cuisine?Or Cantonese?

...that's a really annoying question.

Looking at the alternative menu that the assistant put in front of him, there were dishes with complicated styles on it.Chen Zikai felt that he was tired of making these elegant and luxurious dishes. According to his idea, it is best to cook a simple and natural dish this time.He has long been disgusted with those chefs who only use layers of thick sauces to pile up so-called famous dishes...

But now Chen Zikai, who is in a completely unfamiliar environment, thinks about it now, and feels that he was simply insane at the time - he kept a lot of ready-made ingredients and didn't use them, just to make a 'matsutake chicken soup', going all the way Go to the forests of Yunnan to dig matsutake! !

Of course, now he doesn't remember at all that he really wanted to take advantage of this time to "drop in" to relax and return to nature, so he left the restaurant and a group of employees to run away.

Yunnan!He has longed for this place full of ethnic minority atmosphere and legends for a long time!

I think that when he was working in a big hotel, he studied Yunnan cuisine for a month in order to cooperate with the hotel's activities. At that time, he was already interested in this place in the southwest of China, which is rich in precious natural ingredients.

It's a pity that after getting off the plane, Chef Chen only had time to breathe the fresh air at high altitude, and went into the mountain without even visiting several famous ancient cities.

Chen Zikai first found a family who made a living by digging matsutake in the village at the foot of the mountain. He offered a thousand oceans in the surprised eyes of the other party, and vowed that he only wanted to dig matsutake with experienced people, and Only this time.This simple family was taken aback by his generosity - usually the matsutake they dug up was taken to the market and sold to special purchasers, and the price was not high. How could they have seen someone like Chen Zikai give it away? A large sum of money has to be dug in the mountains by yourself.They kindly suggested that they go to the mountain to dig, and then hand over the fresh matsutake to Chen Zikai immediately, but Chen Zikai refused.According to his thinking, he has not exercised for a long time, except for shaking pots and spoons in the kitchen. Of course, he cannot give up this good opportunity to climb mountains.

The family had no choice but to agree to let him stay first and follow them into the mountain the next day.

Chen Zikai followed the father and daughter of this family and went into the mountain around three in the morning. This seems to be the best time to dig matsutake. The gas is still very heavy, and the matsutake buried under the dead branches and rotten grass is still tender and tender when dug out.

At the beginning, Chen Zikai followed behind the father and daughter obediently, and listened carefully to questions such as 'what kind of piles of branches and leaves can dig out the matsutake', 'how to dig out the matsutake intact' , 'After the digging, the 'mushroom pit' should be covered again, so that matsutake can grow again in the future' and so on.When he felt that he knew almost everything, he informed others and separated from the father and daughter.

It is very hard for people to dig matsutake on the mountain every day and every day, and the price of the plates of matsutake made from their own hands is astonishingly high, and the purchase price in the village market is so low that Chen Zikai can't believe it. .Although the father and daughter were still enthusiastically using each matsutake as a demonstration and throwing most of them into Chen Zikai's cloth bag, he was embarrassed to follow behind them to share the fruits of their labor.

It's just that there is no brightness in the mountains and forests in the early morning, and the fog is thick. We can only use the faint moonlight to distinguish the road and the place where matsutake may appear.Chen Zikai didn't walk fast. As he walked along a mountain road that was obviously trampled back and forth, he regretted why he didn't bring a flashlight.

Such a basic tool can be forgotten, he is really not good at anything except cooking...

Before Chen Zikai could sigh enough, he was stumbled by a tree root stretching out from under his feet. Before he could react, he fell to the side.And what awaited him was not flat ground, but a very steep hillside.

And he still vaguely remembers that the last sentence that appeared in his mind at that time seemed to be - damn!How can there be such a steep hillside in this place!

Recalling this point, Chen Zikai subconsciously looked down at himself—it was still the equipment he had when he went up the mountain, wearing sportswear, but the jacket and trousers might have been scratched when he rolled down the cliff, and there were many holes on them .He touched his face again, and felt that the facial features seemed to be in their original positions, and the shape had not changed, but there were a few scratches of different shades on the cheeks and forehead.

And as he moved, the cloth rubbed against his wound, causing bursts of stinging pain.

Now, he is finally sure that he is not dreaming—these feelings are too real. He feels that although his body is not very flexible yet, his mind is definitely in a very clear state, and it is impossible for him to have the feeling of falling down the hill. In the end, the dull nerves that can still dream.He was very sure that after falling down from the mountain, he rolled and rolled to this inexplicable place...

The white strange-shaped buildings in front of him, and the steel giants that can walk around, are all things that have surpassed his cognition-this is definitely not the place where he lives.

After confirming that the body is still his own, then it shouldn't be something like reviving a dead body...

If he hadn't died, and hadn't been dreaming, then there could only be one reason for his present condition.

Did he—this—is—encounter—to—legend—say—the—travel—through—over—?

Chen Zikai really wants to cry but has no tears - what are you doing! ! !Isn't he a young girl who has read too many romance novels, and needs to use such outrageous things to perfect her life...

The opportunity for him to show off his culinary skills at the Gold Medal Chef Competition next month... His TV interview next month... The cover character of Chef Weekly next month...

He will never dig up shitty matsutake in his life again! ! !

Chen Zikai is actually a person with a relatively strong heart capacity, and he has basically recovered his composure from this situation that made him completely at a loss.He looked at the line of steel giants that passed not far from him again, and felt that the most important thing for him now was to find a creature that could communicate with him—he didn't know if there was one here. Maybe all human beings like me are this kind of 'big guy'?

But you always have to figure out where you are right now—it's not the way to stay in this corner all the time.
