Chapter 1 A bull's knife(1/2)

"I seriously suspect that the reason why Chef Ding did not establish the 'Paute Road' back then was because he traveled to this time and space!"

"Perhaps he practiced the same technique as Lao Zhuang. After Lao Zhuang woke up from his dream, he changed from a butterfly back to his original state. But poor Cook Ding either didn't have enough cultivation or had an accident, but he stayed in this time and space forever."

The spring breeze is warm and the sun is shining brightly.

Bao Ding looked at his reflection in the water tank in the yard. He was now a young man of about twenty years old, with black hair and ordinary appearance. His sword-shaped eyebrows added a bit of heroism.

Bao Ding raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky. Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in his mind.

Bao Ding only remembered that his ancestors were all butchers, and now that he was on the run, he had just been blackmailed by a few gangsters.

There was nothing else in the baggage except a knife and an old book called "The Tao of Cooks".

Walking all the way, this place looks like a famous film and television city, with dazzling booths, shops, wooden pavilions, streets with bluestone slats, city walls covered with moss, turrets, drum towers, etc.

They are all restored on a one-to-one basis.

There was a large restaurant on the roadside looking for a chef. Bao Ding was hungry and thirsty, so he had to return to his ancestral business.

After passing through several doors, Bao Ding came to the "back kitchen", which was a bit more lavish than ordinary people's yards, and saw at a glance what he was about to "slaughter".

A nauseating stench assaults your nostrils!

No wonder the two chefs had already covered their mouths and noses with tattered cloths.

Bao Ding had a dull look on his face. Looking at the mammoth-like beast corpse in front of him, he was already retreating in his heart.

There was a very deep wound in the beast's chest, which seemed fatal.

"I only have such a small knife, how long will it take to cut?" Bao Ding pointed in the direction of the real kitchen, and said with a smile to the two chefs who had retreated far away: "Now is the time when guests are arriving like clouds.

When the time comes, let’s go to the kitchen and do serious work!”

"You need this kind of knife so that novices like you can familiarize yourself with the properties of spar as quickly as possible." The owner followed, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and stood further away and said.

"One hand is groping and the other hand is cutting. This is a patient and meticulous job."

"I've sent someone to do it, Lu Yin, and I think we'll get it within ten days. Here are some naan bread and a large pot of water. Take a rest when you're tired, and we'll come back tomorrow to check on your progress!"

After the owner finished speaking, he and the two chefs actually chained and locked the courtyard door from the outside, fearing that the homeless Baoding would take the opportunity to escape.

It was clearly three o'clock in the morning, but Bao Ding couldn't help but shudder when he found that he was alone in the same yard with the corpse of the ferocious beast.

There are many pieces of moso bamboo that are at least five years old piled up in the corner of the yard. I don’t know if they are used as raw materials for bamboo products or for papermaking.

Bao Ding endured the increasingly nauseating feeling of retching and dizziness, lit a fire on the stove in the small kitchen in the yard, and made a pack of old cloth masks made of "bamboo charcoal packs" using local materials.

Bao Ding quickly put a bandage around his mouth and nose and tied the "bamboo charcoal bag", which finally effectively isolated part of the fishy smell and possible toxicity. The strange knowledge he learned in many fire drills that year was finally not in vain.

However, when he put the knife back into his bag, he found that the old knife called "The Tao of Cooks" had disappeared!

Only now did Bao Ding finally find a wooden pillar to sit down and sort out his current experiences and situation.

Bao Ding is in his early twenties. Before time travel, he was already working in a medium-sized restaurant and was a chef with an intermediate certificate.

Children of poor people have long been in charge of the family. Baoding dropped out of junior high school for the sake of his younger brothers and sisters and went out to work to earn money to support his family and education.

In order to save money, the stingy boss often makes Bao Ding go through a one-stop process from slaughtering to preparing ingredients, euphemistically calling it "exercise".

If it weren't for the fact that the remuneration offered by the boss barely met Bao Ding's expectations, Bao Ding would have given up the job long ago.

Therefore, Bao Ding still had a certain immunity to the various bloody scenes of slaughter. He quickly eliminated distracting thoughts, calmed down, and focused on the panel that suddenly appeared in front of him.

This was the first thing he had to figure out after he decided to travel through time!

【Cook Road】

Vulnerability points: 0 (0/100)

Eyesight: Lower grade of Fallen Leaf Realm (unlocked)

Martial Arts: "Wing Chun"

spear:

shield:

[Tip]: When you start practicing for the first time, you can unlock the fallen leaf realm;

Immediately, a prompt appeared at the bottom of the panel.

Among them, "spear" and "shield" are embodied in the form of buttons.

"When the Wing Chun series of movies became popular, I did sign up for an introductory class in a boxing gym and studied for a while. Maybe that's how "Wing Chun" came about."

"Contradiction? Wouldn't it be 'self-contradiction'?"

Immediately, a Wing Chun rotating wooden dummy that often appears in movies and TV shows appeared in front of Bao Ding.

The halo of an archery target as big as a fist appears and disappears, moving around on top of the wooden mannequin.

The halo is in the shape of an ethereal spirit body, and the inside and outside are covered with mysterious talismans. They are divided into black and white, alternating with each other, and seamlessly connected together.

When the wooden dummy rotates, one or two red rings will sometimes flash up and down the wooden dummy, and sometimes one or two blue rings will flash up.

The red ring and the blue ring are about the size of a bracelet. They are both in the shape of spirits. The rings are red and blue. The inside and outside of the rings are also covered with mysterious black and white talismans.

The red ring and blue ring may flash alternately or simultaneously.

As he became familiar with this kind of practice, Bao Ding gradually came up with some rules.

The position where the red ring flashes is when the hand or foot of the wooden dummy can attack Bao Ding.

The position where the blue ring flashes is when the hands or feet of the wooden dummy form an effective defense against Baoding's fist and kick attacks.

However, when Bao Ding passed the red ring and hit an archery target halo within the limits of the blue ring, he felt a slight numbness coming from his palms, arms, legs and feet.

This seems to be giving more detailed guidance and correction to his movements.

What boy doesn’t have a dream of becoming a martial arts master?!

Baoding soon became immersed in the practice of rotating wooden dummies.

Ding ding!

When the halo of the archery target stopped flashing, there were two soft ding sounds, and a prompt sound similar to a game interface came to Bao Ding's ears.

Bao Dingfu reaches the soul, imagination panel.

The panel reappears.

【Cook Road】

Vulnerability Points:37/100

Eyesight: Lower grade of fallen leaves (7/100)

Martial Arts: "Wing Chun Boxing" Level 2 martial arts, one spear, one shield;

spear:

shield:

[Tip]: Flaw points can be used to improve eyesight level and martial arts level; spear skills can be unlocked;

"This flaw point is roughly from the training just now."

"As for the points in the Fallen Leaf Realm, they should correspond to the number of times that tingling feeling occurs, which is equivalent to gradually improving the 'eyesight' of finding and hitting the target."

Regarding this mysterious "cooking" panel, Bao Ding had a vague idea of ​​what to do.

Below the panel, there are "spear" and "shield" respectively.

If the spear represents attack power, the spear skill must be unlocked first.

Sure enough, the panel refreshed again.

【Cook Road】

Vulnerability points: 23/100

Eyesight: Lower grade of fallen leaves (11/100)

Martial arts: "Wing Chun Fist", level 2 martial arts, one spear (3/100) and one shield;

spear:

shield:

[Tip]: In the realm of deciduous leaves, your eyesight can capture the veins of leaves in the breeze;

"Practice and accumulate vulnerability points... and consume the vulnerability points, it turns out that they can be used to improve your eyesight and martial arts!"

Out of curiosity, Bao Ding added points to the value of his eyesight and the value in the "Wing Chun Method" column until the value of the flaw points dropped to 0.

At this time Baoding thought about the panel again.

【Cook Road】

Vulnerability points: 0/100

Eyesight: Lower grade of fallen leaves (22/100)

Martial Arts: "Wing Chun Boxing", level 2 martial arts, one spear (15/100); one shield;
