Although Zhao Rang was away from home and traveling outside the world for some time, he had never dealt with the chef. He didn't know what topic to use as a starting point for a while, so the two could only feel cold in embarrassment. The master was nervous when facing Zhao Rang, and now he couldn't figure out what Zhao Rang came from. Seeing that he stood still, he stood still...

Not long after, beans of sweat rolled down from his forehead, wet his collar.

It was not until this time that Zhao Rang smelled the fireworks floating out of the kitchen, and then realized why he didn't ask the master what to eat for lunch... As a chef, he always thought about the menu in his mind every day when he opened his eyes. It was really suitable to talk to him about eating.

Immediately, I got into the stove and said to another chef:

"You are busy with yours, so I'll just take a look."

The young chef and the master were both confused when they saw Zhao Rang's face at first. However, the movements in his hands were not stopped, and he was cutting a bundle of fresh leeks.

Most people in the Western Regions make a living by nomadic life and rarely cultivate. Only in the upper four countries can there be fixed arable land, produce grain, and supply it to the Western Regions countries. As for rare things like vegetables, they have to be purchased from Dawei, transported through Yangguan, and then sent to the Shanglian to obtain an approval permit before they can enter the Western Regions.

The vegetables sold here suddenly increased their wealth, and ordinary people could not afford it. Only a large force like Tongbao Money Village, who has both their own farmland and their ability to transport vehicles in Dawei can enjoy it.

The most popular one among them is leeks.

The leeks grow quickly and can be harvested one by one. They taste very good, especially because there are too many meat and fish, which can relieve the greasiness.

Zhao Rang looked at the leeks on the chopping board, and it was already a little wilted. This was caused by the long journey from Dawei to this place. In winter, it is probably fine because the temperature is low, and it is getting closer and closer. In addition, the Western Regions are dry, so the harvested leeks can shrink overnight!

However, Zhao Rang saw that the cuts of these leeks were very neat.

Wilted leeks are no more fresh than wilted.

Fresh and crispy can be easily cut. It is wilted, loses moisture and increases toughness. When the kitchen knife falls, it will definitely slip. Unless the chef's own knife skills are very exquisite, each knife is adjusted to the best angle.

Zhao Rang looked at the young chef cutting a few times and found that he had no intention of adjusting the angle. He used his left hand to calculate the distance, and then cut it down one by one, so that the cut of the leek would be extremely smooth and flat.

"You wait!"

Zhao Rang patted his shoulder, and the sudden contact caused the young chef to shake his body, and then he let go of the kitchen knife in his hand.

If the chef's posture and angle are not adjusted, the problem lies in the kitchen knife. The edge of the kitchen knife must be the most extreme thin, only in this way can it be sharp enough. In addition, it must be made with steel well, because the blade that is too thin will also be brittle! If you are not careful, it will break when using it.

If the blade of a kitchen knife can be thin, firm and tough at the same time, the three will be the master of forging swords!

In addition to being surprised, Zhao Rang quickly picked up the kitchen knife and looked at it carefully.

The blade emitted a faint blue light, which could only be formed by sudden quenching at extremely high temperatures. Zhao Rang carefully tapped the blade with his thumb, and actually made an extremely harmonious musical sound. This is the point that can only be achieved when the blade is thin and tough enough to be at the same time!

“Where did this knife come from?

Zhao Rang shook the young chef desperately, and unconsciously the force in his hands increased a little. The chef was in pain and screamed.

The master outside hurriedly ran in and saw Zhao Rang holding a kitchen knife in one hand and pinching the chef's shoulder with the other, kneeling down "thump" and kowtowed vigorously:

"Sir! My apprentice is ignorant... You have a lot of them, so spare his life, sir! I beg you, sir!"

The sound of kowtows and howlings mixed together, and the entire kitchen seemed to have become a Shura field. The helping girls who had already hidden themselves, when they heard the words of the master just now, they completely opened their voices and ran and shouted.

This movement finally attracted the guards in Tongbao Money House.

The guard in charge, of course, knew Zhao Rang, stepped forward and bowed, and asked politely:

"Young Master Zhao, I wonder where these two chefs offended you?"

Zhao Rang looked innocent and turned around with a knife in his face.

The guard stared at the kitchen knife in Zhao Rang's hand and couldn't help swallowing.

"look!"

Zhao Rang suddenly raised his hand, and a white light appeared on the blade of the kitchen knife, hitting the beam above his head.

As for the guard, it was even more exaggerated... While retreating backwards, the knife at the waist subconsciously was unsheathed, held it in his hand, and pointed the tip of the knife directly at Zhao Rang.

"They, no offense!"

Zhao Rang felt that the guards and servants in the semicolon, as well as a fellow servant, probably compared him to a demon who eats raw meat and drinks blood and kills people like numb! Otherwise, how could his usual action make the other party so scared?

"I just want to ask the origin of this kitchen knife!"

Hearing what Zhao Rang said, the guard put his knife into the sheath with shame, then turned his head and said to the two chefs:

"Young Master Zhao wants to know where the kitchen knife you used comes from. Just answer truthfully! No... nothing to be afraid of!"

The last sentence of the guard himself was very unconfident.

But in order to answer Zhao Rang's question, he must be fully imposing and arrogant!

"Sir, are you asking about this kitchen knife?"

The master spoke first.

Zhao Rang nodded.

This kitchen knife is very new and must have been used for a short time. Maybe it's even in a nearby blacksmith shop!

The master pointed outside, then searched in the cabinet next to him, took out a slightly dim kitchen knife, and said:

"Sir, these two kitchen knives were bought from the same person, just a few years apart. For several years... Alas, my mind is useless and I can't remember it. Anyway, it's a few years!"

When Zhao Rang heard that the two kitchen knives had appeared together, he became interested immediately. He hurriedly picked them up from the master and compared them with the other one.

The old master's kitchen knife, which has become old, has a bit of mottled rust. The blade is not as thin as the one that later, and of course it is much worse than the toughness.

But what shocked Zhao Rang was that if the master remembered correctly, these two kitchen knives were from one person. Then the blacksmith only took a few years to forge a piece of art and enter the realm of a master!

Such progress is very fast.

Even a sword art family like Zhao Rang, with a long-standing background, has never seen a forging master who has made such rapid progress.

Immediately, when such a person can ask to go back to the Zhao family, his forging skills will definitely improve a lot in the future! Even if he has no gains in the Western Regions this time, it would be worthwhile to ask a master of forging such a skill to go back!

"Master, you are sure you are alone!"

The old chef thought about it, his eyes were slightly dirty, and he turned around for a few times, and said firmly:

"It's one person indeed!"

"But that person may not be easy to find..."

Zhao Rang asked:

"Do you know who he is?"

It is not easy to find someone in a place that is not familiar with. But if you know that someone is difficult to find, then he must know this person.

The old chef licked the corner of his mouth and said:

"I don't know him. I bought a knife at that time and thought it was very useful, so I wanted to buy another one and put it in there. But I couldn't find it, and I couldn't find it anyway. Later, I accepted my apprentice and ran into him by chance, so I bought it for my apprentice!"

Zhao Rang asked:

"Then why don't you change yourself a new one?"

The old chef's kitchen knife was already rusted.

Although it can be used after grinding it, there is no new good after all. What's more, the person who forged kitchen knives has made rapid progress in recent years, and the kitchen knives they have created are different now.

"I'm thinking, no cook doesn't like knives! But that man said...it seems to mean that he has also accepted an apprentice, so he won't have time to kill knives in the future. My apprentice's hand is worthy of him, but I think I've been thinking about him for so many years."

After saying that, the master did not forget to add:

"It's good for others to blame!"

According to the direction pointed by the master, the guard said that he was called Matsutayama.

Chagantologai is a mountain nest, surrounded by mountains on all sides. However, these mountains are all endless mountains. When the great power was the most prosperous country, the people of the Western Regions had thought of shrinking the border and giving up the entire Lanmo Kingdom, huddling behind this mountain range, and resisting with natural danger.

But Matsumotayama is an exception.

This is the only independent mountain in a radius of hundreds of miles around Chagantologai. People in the Western Regions are not good at naming them, and they basically use the landform and iconic natural existence to make the place name. The reason why it is called Songtao Mountain is because there are only two types of trees on the mountain - pine and peach trees.

The terrain here is high, with dense towers and pine trees. The wind blows, and the sound of rivers and waves. However, the peach trees are a bit too abrupt. Zhao Rang has never heard of the tall ones that peach trees can grow! In the Taoyuan in the northern border of Great Viagra, before the cold winter comes, peach trees will be protected to prevent them from freezing to death in the long winter in the north.

Of course, winter here is colder than in the northern part of Dawei, and there will definitely be no one to serve these peach trees. Being able to survive is simply a miracle on earth!

However, Zhao Rang did not go rashly, but called the guard who was familiar with the surrounding terrain and asked:

"Where are the directions around Chagantologai?"

The guard asked:

"Young Master Zhao, where do you want to go?"

Zhao Rang said:

"You just say it all over the east, south, west and north!"

The guard pondered for a moment, took the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen, used as a reference, and said:

"We're here now!"

"To the east, it is Lanmo Kingdom, which is the direction you are coming from Mr. Zhao. Songtao Mountain is here, and it is the only way to go to the other three countries among the four upper countries!"

"And then..."

"Wait, you said that you have to cross the other three countries of the Four Kingdoms to go to the other three countries?"

Zhao Rang interrupted the guard's story and asked.
Chapter completed!
