Liu Ying was indeed scared.

Behind the door was a delicate face with excitement and shyness.

Unlike yesterday's appearance to challenge Liu Lan's strength, it seems that the 13-year-old girl hiding behind the door at this time is the standard and classic Lolita.

"I am Xia Yu——"

A slightly familiar voice.

Liu Ying's hand on the door lock trembled.

Although it was the first time I met yesterday, Liu Ying even felt that this voice was much more cordial than her mother's call.

Open your mouth to answer.

"Don't remember?" The voice said then.

"Remember, remember!"

Liu Ying whispered.

"Open the door for me!"

Then there was a knock on the door, very direct.

"what--"

Obviously startled, Liu Ying squatted down, covering her head with her hands, "Wait a minute!"

"How long to wait?"

"wait!"

"I am very busy, I will leave without opening the door..."

With that, Xia Yu turned around.

Click!

With the sound of unlocking the door, the courtyard door cracked slightly, Liu Ying's face was in the crack, and she shouted to him timidly: "Wait..."

She mustered up all the courage, her hands tied tightly.

Xia Yu turned around, so he met the eyes in the crack of the door. He could clearly observe the shyness in Liu Ying's eyes. This really subverted his impression of Liu Ying.

Yesterday, when I first met Liu Ying, she was still a savage problem girl who directed her brother and special chef Liu Lanyi to her. Now her style of painting has changed drastically, she has become a senior housemaid who is afraid of meeting people?

Damn it!

Blue veins appeared on Xia Yu's forehead, and she vaguely felt that she was looking for the wrong person.

Who is he really trying to find?For the first time, Xia Yu deeply doubted her choice.

However, words like human personality are really hard to explain.

Let's say the chief ten, the white knight of the table, Si Yingshi.

This guy is handsome enough and has good cooking skills. He is absolutely perfect, rich and handsome. It is logically the No. 1 BOSS with Long Aotian's character, but he has some cowardly personality and has control over the ten outstanding institutions. It is very weak, so that in daily life, the other seats can make small movements in front of him and push the nose to the face.

However, the cowardly personality is limited to daily life. If it is a matter of cooking, Si Yingshi immediately becomes serious and strong.

Thinking of Si Yingshi, Xia Yu's eyebrows frowned slightly and loosened.

He looked at the big eyes dodging in the crack of the door, and decided to use the cooking stuff and try it.

It happened that he assigned a topic similar to homework yesterday.

"Sakura, I said yesterday that control is not only reflected in the amount of ingredients, but also in knife skills, heat, etc. I have asked you to come back and study the effect of knife skills on the quality of a dish, right?"

Liu Ying was startled.

"Ok……"

Strangely, when she talked about cooking, her expression was calm and determined. She was shaken, evasive and even shy away. "Mr. Xia, I tried repeatedly when I came back yesterday. For what you said, knife skills affect dishes. I am willing to believe in the relationship between style quality, sword skill and control, and I feel that that is the direction I am working hard for, but I think I am too far behind and have not touched the margin..."

The head was lowered again, but this time it was not shyness, but loss.

Liu Ying's transformation made Xia Yu's eyes brighten.

"This can be saved!"

She couldn't help but stepped forward and pushed the door open. Liu Ying looked at him with a stunned look, but Xia Yu immediately said, "Well, you have tried to show that you are interested. I can show it to you first to prove what I said. There are unlimited possibilities in the future for his sword skills."

Blinked at Liu Ying.

"Okay!"

Liu Ying shouted in surprise, her voice full of vitality and fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Xia Yu smiled, "That's right, come on, raise your head, and hold your chest up. I want to train you to be the devil that adults fear, not you to fear others."

Liu's mother and Liu Feng were outside, looking at each other.

Seeing Xia Yu holding her sister's hand to the yard kitchen, Liu Feng was dumbfounded as she walked and laughed. Is this really that little sister who is afraid of life and indifferent to her brother?

Mother Liu murmured joyfully: "It seems that Sakura can learn art from this Demon King Xia."

In the morning afternoon, Xia Yu bid farewell to Mother Liu and returned to the old house.

Zhu Qing opened the door for him and asked enthusiastically: "What, have you deepened your relationship with that female apprentice?"

Xia Yu lowered her head thoughtfully, and ignored her.

"When it comes to cooking, she has a passionate and cheerful personality. Once she is free, her style of painting will change... No, it seems that she needs to be given special training before the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival selection!"

The first festival after the new year is the Lantern Festival. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are about two weeks left.

According to the system mission, in these two weeks, he will raise Liu Ying's cooking skills by a big margin, at least to the extent that he can face the special chef, so that he will not be defeated and eliminated early in the selection.

On the one hand it is cooking skills, on the other hand it is special training for her character...

Xia Yu really had a headache.

It’s a tight time. According to the current situation, the task of "The Name of Chrysanthemum Downstairs" is not an exaggeration.

The problem is that there is a serious mismatch between the task reward and the difficulty!

"System, unlock the "Chrysanthemum Downstairs" business template, can you change it, such as a golden evolution spar..."

"Reminder, "Chrysanthemum Downstairs" is a special historical famous store. The host indirectly owns and operates it. A certain number of famous store specialties can be obtained on the monthly business settlement day."

specialty?

Xia Yu was in a daze, inexplicably, he thought of the "Cold Water", a specialty of Baiyulou, used by Ye Feizhou.

"If it's a special ingredient, and it can't be purchased through fame, it can only be produced by owning a special famous store... Then the reward of the task is okay!" Xia Yu feels itchy when he thinks of a certain mysterious and unknown specialty ingredient.

What could it be.In short, don't disappoint.

"Auntie Qing!"

Suddenly he whispered to Zhu Qing in his ears. The more Zhu Qing listened, the stranger his face became.

"you sure?"

Zhu Qing was surprised.

"Well, there is only this way. Isn't it just being afraid of life? Let her see the world more often, and by the way, she can also hone her cooking skills!" Xia Yu already has a training plan for her named disciple Liu Ying.

First of all--

Just to reverse her second personality that had been in the house for too long, at least to the extent that she can't be afraid of life, and can display her cooking skills normally on the duel stage.

Otherwise, Xia Yu doesn't need to expect a 13-year-old girl with a flawed psychological quality to be selected at the Lantern Festival and win the prize.

Isn't that daydreaming?

...

This year has been very uneasy.

Outside of the Xia family's old house in China, the news that the third pavilion of the Baiyu Tower is about to be recruited has spread all over the sky, and it is being discussed by individuals.

The third day of junior high school.

Jingzhou, Jianghan City.

A small mountain villa on the banks of a large river welcomes visitors.

"Brother Huang is in good spirits!"

There was applause behind him, who had retired from the imperial capital, and returned to his hometown. Wearing a hat and draped clothes, an old fishing man sitting on a small stool at the riverside pier remained motionless for a long time.

The visitors were not in a hurry, and there was a clock standing in their hands until the yellow crane caught a plump freshwater fish. He suddenly said leisurely: "Fish, when I see the fish, I will always record this year’s hunting finals. Turn it out, look it over, I've read it about seven or eight times so far, every time I look at it, I feel that the Demon King Xia is worthy of his name!

The fish got out of their hands and were not put in the fish basket, and they were jumping around on the dock floor.

Huang He picked up the fish and looked back at the person faintly, "Wu Tong, I know why you came here, but Xia Qing and I are grieving in the Battle of Lou Linship. You go."

The person who came was surprisingly the contemporary'Tianji Star' Wu Tong, the second person under the leader Yan Qi in the dark cooking world, and an old monster that really exists.

Wu Tong stood with his hand in his hand, his eyes widened, looking at the rivers and rivers, but his face was clearly ridiculed.

"Your position will soon be replaced by Xia Qing."

Hearing this, the yellow crane who was grabbing the fish basket was shocked.

"Have you heard? Baiyulou's third pavilion master, the leader deliberately selects and recruits from outside. Think about it, how did this pavilion master's chair become empty? It's not that he Xia Qing defeated you. On cooking, on fame , He is qualified enough!"

The indifferent expression on Huang He's face was replaced by a kind of coldness, "I absolutely can't accept Xia Qing sitting in that position!"

The old monster Wu Tongpi smiled and said, "Very well, I don't want Xia's resurgence."

Huang Heyou stared at him coldly.

"Talk about it, what do you want me to do?"

"Brother Huang can continue your secluded life. You only need to lend me a person, a powerful Lin Chu." Wu Tong's blinking eyes wrote some kind of unspeakable murderous intent.

"Lin Chu, not Long Chu?"

Huang He's face changed slightly, and he understood the murderous intent in Wu Tong's eyes.

"Others, I don't need Brother Huang to worry about, but in terms of Linchu's manpower, there is only the former head coach of Baiyulou in the Chinese world, and he can say the same."

"it is good!"

Huang He's answer seemed concise.

In fact, what he has in mind is more of the determination to remove the demon king of the same generation for his apprentice Ye Feizhou.

In the Chinese world, there is no room for two tigers. There can only be one successor to the king.

Otherwise, there will be more princes, and other dragons will be better, so the Chinese food industry is prone to disaster.Huang He thought of a lot, and even ten years later, the situation where Xia Demon King and Ye Feizhou fought fiercely, and the Chinese world split into two factions...

This is what Huang He did not want to see.

Not for personal enmity, only for the future of the Chinese community.Huang He told himself this in his heart.
