One hour earlier?

The old man who returned to China for the first time since the holiday, obviously realized this problem.

"Oh, too."

His voice was faint and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and said that this old guy liked to be cool. He was washing dishes while picking a few questions.

"Is there a place to live in the country?"

"There is also an ancestral house at home, so you can live in it after cleaning."

"Ancestral House?" Xia Yu was curious. Could it be that the Xia family was a big family before? In this era, it is a true landlord class to be able to keep an ancestral house in China.

"When will you come back?"

The second question caused the opponent to fall into a long silence.

"I don't know either, but it's definitely not short."

The old man said, with a hint of unhidden fatigue, and at the same time, Xia Yu also heard the apology in his words.

"It's okay, old man, just stay in China, and leave the store here to me-" Xia Yu immediately threw away the resentment in his heart and almost patted his chest to promise.

Silence again.

After a while, I asked there:

"…I heard you're going to take the special grade?"

"Yes. It must be what the general coach told you." Xia Yu stacked the washed dishes in the cabinet and listened to the movements on the other end of the phone.

"good!"

"It seems you've worked very hard during this period!"

The old man's next words surprised Xia Yu.

"I said, old man, aren't you surprised the reason why I entered the country so quickly?" Xia Yu laughed, actually feeling quite nervous.

"strangeness?"

On the contrary, the old man was surprised, with doubts in his voice.

"The chef gods in the past, 13 or 15 years old, are already the most famous chefs in the world. You are 16 years old now. It's actually a bit late to become a special chef at this age, but it's not bad, just barely."

The old man said half praise and half criticized: "If we follow the modern chef pyramid system, the group of monsters a hundred years ago became special chefs, and half a year later, and two to three years later, and one year later, and one year later, they were chefs of the Dragon. They had already reached the realm of the King of Heaven at the age of thirty, and then they were chefs of the chefs."

"You, when it comes to the level of genius, they are still far from those monsters!" The old man must have shook his head on the other side of the phone.

"I'll go!"

Xia Yu rolled his eyes simply.

It turns out that he was worried about it before. The old man of his family was really generous. He directly compared his grandson with the evil spirits a hundred years ago, rather than comparing them with the geniuses in the modern food world.

After this comparison, the aperture on Xia Yu's head suddenly dimmed.

"Don't be discouraged, at least, you are better than me. I was 18 years old and I was admitted to the special grade in the mainland. I am worthy of being my grandson of Xia Qing!" The old man finally laughed loudly in his words.

The topic of the grandfather and grandson is actually nothing more than life and cooking.

Xia Yu asked the old man about his domestic life. When the old man asked about the situation of the Xia shop, Xia Yu didn't hide it, so he simply told him about his achievements over the past three months.

“Shopping street?”

When he heard Xia Yu take over the shopping street, the old man sighed and said meaningfully: "It's better if you take over it already. This street has never been dared to ask about it, and it is also due to historical reasons. This governor of this term will probably thank you for helping him deal with this mess. This is a strong political achievement."

Xia Yu was inexplicably surprised, but the old man's mouth was very tight.

The call lasted nearly an hour, and before hanging up the phone, the old man suddenly said:

"By the way, you go to the attic, I put some things in the ceiling mezzanine, you look at it and it may be helpful for your special exam."

When the words fell, the busy voice came from the phone.

Well?

Blinking, Xia Yu understood the old man's hint, quickly took off his gloves and ran upstairs.

The attic is an easy place to be overlooked. Xia Yu has cleaned it twice before, but he just dealt with it and did not clean it up carefully.

When he ran to the attic, the floor was not high, and Xia Yu didn't even have to put a stool on the soles of his feet, and he could touch the ceiling with his hand. He tried it one by one, and soon he showed joy. With a click, a certain wooden ceiling was removed by him, and the dust fell down at the same time. He didn't care too much and reached out to grab the dark space.

"Have it!"

A wooden box was in his hand, and he turned his head and buckled the wooden board back. Xia Yu ran to the second floor without looking back.

After a while, a book was placed on the tea table in the living room, a small bronze tripod similar to a model.

"What's this?"

After picking up the small tripod and playing for a long time, she couldn't see any significance. Xia Yu had to give up and read another book, looking with relish.

I don't know how long it took before the system popped up:

"Did the notes of unknown chefs be included and sorted out?"

"tidy!"

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of horror in his eyes.

This book, from the year when fantasy ingredients invaded the earth, has been recorded until last year. Every year, the latest fantasy ingredients published and put on the market by IGO International Organizations will be studied by the writers of this note.

Decades of book...

No!

Xia Yu shook his head, the word "Shu" was wrong because the notes were still being written and not completed.

He turned around and found another note left by the old man. The two books were placed together and the notes were approaching. At this point, the author could be determined. Xia Yu thought of the old man's age, and he was even more sure.

With the age of his old man, he did witness the invasion of fantasy ingredients, but from the lines of his notes, Xia Yu could see that the old man was very surprised by the appearance of these fantasy ingredients. There was a sentence inside that made Xia Yu deeply remembered:

"This is the most precious gift the Creator has given to the chef."

After stroking books that were two or three times older than his body for decades, Xia Yu felt heavy in his heart. It took him a long time to sigh: "This old man in my family...is amazing!"

He could imagine that if the old man continued to write, this book would most likely be regarded as a classic by chefs in the food industry in later generations.

The fantasy ingredients system inside are neatly classified, and each fantasy ingredients are clearly written for purpose, taboos, and shapes. Somehow, Xia Yu suddenly thought of "Compendium of Materia Medica". Perhaps, this book has the potential of classics.

And he is the second viewer besides the old man.

Fortunately!

Xia Yu was very surprised. When he turned to the end of the book, there were some special recipes attached here. Some recipes have been completed, while others are still under inference. The lack of key fantasy ingredients will fill the gaps.

"Medical food records... are all medicinal recipes? Use fantasy ingredients to make medicinal food?" Xia Yu's eyes flashed.

After a while, he took two other notes from the bedroom.

This is the spoil left by Shinji Takei and Ichiro Hasegawa after his defeat at the Meat.

"Did the notes of unknown chefs be detected? Is it included?"

“Included!”

It takes time to let the system continue to include and organize. Xia Yu went to close the store on the first floor, and then sat honestly in the living room on the second floor, flipping through the books carefully.

Within one day, I got three notes from the chef.

Xia Yu's mood can be described at this moment by satisfaction and confidence.

Especially the big thing left by the old man is so useful!

If the contents can be sorted out and absorbed, what is the special assessment?

...

Mainland China.

In fact, the old man was not in the ancestral house of Shu, but in the capital.

I put down my phone and turned it off.

An old man with white hair but still energetic walked out of the closed room and looked at the ancient palace cluster shrouded in darkness in front of him.

This is the Forbidden City, the forbidden area of ​​the Great Inner, and the purple air is simmering.

Not far away, there were rows of gun-mounted guards standing straight, surrounding the tall buildings.

"Senior Xia..."

At this time, a staff member of the Food and Salvage Administration rushed over with sweat, stopped in front of Xia Qing, and did not dare to breathe. He said respectfully: "The Food and Salvage begins soon, and the Commander No. 1 has arrived at Baiyulou."

Xia Qing just nodded lightly.

"Where is my opponent?"
Chapter completed!
