"Other aspects?" Icicle's mother said silently.

"It's ingredients!" Setsuno said earnestly.

A chef is someone who uses his or her skills to bring out the deliciousness of ingredients.

If the ingredients do not actively cooperate, no matter how skilled the chef is, he or she can only bring out 100% of the deliciousness of the ingredients.

It is absolutely impossible to go higher and reach 120% or even 200%.

…

Icicle's mother was thoughtful.

Suddenly, Icicle's mother thought of something and asked in surprise:

"Setsuno-sama, what you just said was...Akiyu?"

Of course Icicle’s mother remembers who Qiu Yu is. She used to be the man who claimed to be Chef Bai Ren’s best friend at Bai Ren’s Black Shop.

At the same time, he is also the person who understands the relationship between Setsuno and Shirahito.

Why did Setsuno say his name? Was it just a slip of the tongue?

Icicle's mother's question was quickly answered because Setsuno had no intention of hiding anything from the beginning to the end.

Setsuno: "Yes! I'm talking about Qiu Yu. When you went to find Bai Ren, you should have seen him at Bai Ren's black shop!"

"I've seen him before! But he really..."

Suddenly, Icicle's mother paused and asked hesitantly: "Setsuno-sama, is the person you are talking about now about skills comparable to yours Shiro Ren or Qiu Yu?"

Setsuno: "Qiu Yu and Bai Ren"

"Both?"

Icicle's mother was filled with surprise, but Bai Ren could barely accept it.

Although he had a dark face and couldn't see clearly, Icicle's mother could barely tell that he was already a bit old. Qiu Yu...

Icicle's mother frowned slightly and said, "That Qiu Yu looks quite young!!"

"Not what it seems."

Setsuno smiled and said: "He is really young. As far as I know, he should be only twenty-four years old this year."

"Then how is it possible that he has skills comparable to yours?" Icicle's mother asked in disbelief.

Icicle's mother didn't mean to look down on Qiu Yu, she was just stating a fact.

Improvement in basic skills such as knife skills and cooking skills cannot be achieved overnight. It requires the chef himself to spend a lot of time practicing and experiencing.

No matter how outstanding his talent is, he must be diligent and practical in terms of basic skills.

Taking a hundred million steps back, Qiu Yu's talent is higher than the sky. No matter what he learns, he can master it in a while.

Therefore, skills can be practiced in a very short period of time to reach a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

But is Setsuno’s talent lacking?

No, never. Setsuna is able to become a national treasure in the world of gourmet food with his cooking skills, and his talent will not be lost to anyone.

So how can Akiyu, who is at most twenty-four years old, be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Setsuno, who has lived for more than four hundred years, in a skill that will become more sophisticated the longer it takes when both sides have almost the same talent?

"Yes! He is still so young!"

After Setsuno sighed sincerely, he said firmly: "Although it is indeed a bit unbelievable, you still have to believe that Qiu Yu is indeed a monster!"

…

…

Bairenheitian.

After Shadow Clone No. 6 left, Qiu Yu was the only one left in the store.

Sitting alone in the store, Qiu Yu played with the card that was handed to him on the 6th.

Although it is given more privileges than other cards by No. 6, it is just an ordinary monster card named [Black Mage].

After playing for a while, Qiu Yu put [Black Mage] on the table, and then took out the two cards that Setsuno left behind from the system package.

"It was said that one hundred cards were distributed as membership cards, but now it's good, three of them have been returned directly!"

Looking straight at the three cards placed side by side on the table, Qiu Yu couldn't help but complain.

…

After staring blankly for a while, Qiu Yu put away the three cards, got up and strode outside the store.

After leaving the store, Qiu Yu turned around and faced the inside of the store.

With a wave of his right hand, a stone slab that was only slightly smaller than the door suddenly appeared, blocking the open door.

Then, Qiu Yu took out a short knife of about thirty centimeters and began to carve words on the stone slab.

What Qiu Yu wants to engrave is the privileges represented by each of the three cards.

Qiu Yu thought for a moment, if he had to explain it in detail to every person who got the card, he would be too tired!

Following a dazzling movement of Qiu Yu's right arm, the dust scraped off the stone slab gradually accumulated on the ground.

Five minutes later, Qiu Yu put away his dagger. He examined the stone slab.

The content on the slate was divided into four areas by Qiu Yu. On the top position, Qiu Yu engraved the specific rules of this game.

Below are the privilege descriptions of three types of cards: monster cards, magic cards, and trap cards.

In front of each card's privilege description, Qiu Yu dug a shallow pit, which was exactly the size of a game card.

Below the card, the words "Example Card" are powerfully engraved.

The corners of Qiu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, with a satisfied expression on her face.

Putting away the dagger, Qiu Yu took out the previous three cards again.

Then, Qiu Yu put the three cards one by one into the shallow pit in front of the privilege explanation according to the card type.

Coincidentally, Setsuno brought three cards, corresponding to three categories: monsters, monsters, and traps.

Setsuno obeyed the rules and took away the monster cards, leaving the magic cards and trap cards for Akiyu.

Afterwards, Shadow Clone No. 6 gave [Black Mage] to Qiu Yu.

In this way, the cards in Qiu Yu's hand just come into three categories: monsters, magic, and traps.

…

In an instant, the three cards were tightly packed into three shallow pits.

"Now there are three cards clearly placed here. Let's see who is bold enough to dare to challenge the authority and go directly to dig out the cards!" Qiu Yu whispered in a low voice.

After saying that, Qiu Yu put her hand against the stone slab. In an instant, the stone slab disappeared from where it was.

Then Qiu Yu reached out to the ground with both hands and used a meat ball to collect the dust on the ground.

After doing all this, Qiu Yu returned to Bai Renhei's shop as if nothing had happened.

Then, Qiu Yu, who entered the store, turned around and waved her hand, and the stone slab stood at the door again, blocking the only path connecting the inside and outside of the store.

In this way, people who want to enter the store will definitely read the content on the slate even if they don't want to read it.

…

…

Time flew by, and another two hours passed.

It was getting late, Qiu Yu closed the novel and walked leisurely towards the kitchen.

After a while, Qiu Yu returned to the dining table where he was sitting with a large pot of rice.

Putting the rice pot on the table, Qiu Yu pulled up a chair and sat down.

A wave of his right hand.

Suddenly, a porcelain bowl, a pair of chopsticks, and a casserole appeared on the table.

Qiu Yu opened the lid of the casserole, and the rich aroma instantly hit his nostrils.
Chapter completed!
