Chapter 284 – Surging Forward With Great Momentum, Going Abroad

Indeed, Huang Kun was very satisfied with his current life. Being able to learn martial arts beside his master and being able to work together with the beautiful sister Zhu Xin Yi was the heaven that he yearned for in his dreams.

“I feel that what master said is not wrong. Huang Kun should go to school.”

Zhu Xin Yi came over after washing her face and just heard everything. She also approved of Wei Xiao Bei’s decision.

Under his master’s orders and Zhu Xin Yi’s support, Huang Kun could not help but agree to go to school today.

Naturally, coming back to the dojo after going to school was his bottomline. If he was asked to go home after school, he would not do it even if he was killed.

After doing morning exercise until seven, Huang Kun ate breakfast and carried his school bag that he had not touched for a long time.

Zhu Xin Yi directly went into Wei Xiao Bei’s room. Under his orders, she prepared to search for materials on the internet to enrich herself.

In this long period of time, Wei Xiao Bei had clearly understood that skills needed a long period of time to accumulate.

Although Huang Kun and Zhu Xin Yi did not have status panels, this should not be wrong, but when they gained the ability, its growth was a lot slower than his.

When Zhu Xin Yi went to his room, Wei Xiao Bei drove the Volvo to work.

Going into the Dust World was something that could actually not be done.

Everytime a person goes into the Dust World, the fatigue and stress that accumulated in their bodies would not disappear in just 24 hours.

The most important point was that a person’s psyche needed to be relieved for a period of time.

It was the same as how he looked at Huang Kun. Wei Xiao Bei did not want to lose his mind in the Dust World and become a murderous monster.

This was something that Wei Xiao Bei could slightly feel.

Everytime he entered the Dust World and left, he could feel a light impulse of violence and blood.

In the Dust World, he could kill the monsters anytime, but in the real world, he could not do such a thing. This would give a person a sense of disbelonging.

Just like that, if someone continuously entered the Dust World, then even if their willpower was strong, there would definitely be problems that would occur.

It was like an old veteran soldier who had returned to peaceful society. They would have difficulty in adjusting to the peace of society and gain some psychological problems.

This was something Wei Xiao Bei had heard from his company commander.

Luckily, things like this could be removed through consultation and therapy.

The only problematic thing was that there were too many things that Wei Xiao Bei could not divulge. Even if he went for psychological consultation, the effect would not be worthwhile.

Thus, by placing his attention into things that he liked, his recovery was better than any psychological consultation.

When his [Cooking] reached perfection, the requirements had also changed.

Cooking (Perfection): Rare Quality Dishes 0/500

He needed to cook 500 rare-quality dishes to be able to rank up his [Cooking] skill again.

As he worked for one afternoon in the Long Hu Dou Restaurant, he had ascertained one thing.

It was easy to make high-quality dishes with ingredients from the real world, but as for the so-called rare-quality dishes, he had not made even a single one!

This had made Wei Xiao Bei puzzled.

Was it that the ingredient quality was not enough or were rare-quality dishes just very difficult to make?

While Wei Xiao Bei was puzzled, Huang Jun, who had guided Wei Xiao Bei in the culinary path, was happy from the bottom of his heart.

He had evaluated Wei Xiao Bei’s morning performance to be quite high.

Without a doubt, after Wei Xiao Bei’s [Cooking] skill reached perfection, the probability of making high-quality dishes had increased. Even the taste, smell, and appearance of the dishes had increased by several levels.

After tasting a few of his dishes, Huang Jun had a sense of defeat.

Thus, when afternoon came, Huang Jun had directly made Wei Xiao Bei into a roundsman.

In the Long Hu Dou Restaurant, the highest position was Huang Jun, the head chef.

Under him was the sous chef, the hot-cold chef, the pastry chef, and other chefs that managed Western-foods. Further below were the normal chefs, and even further beneath that were the apprentice chef and other kitchen assistants.

The position of roundsman was something not commonly seen in normal circumstances.

The scope of their work was larger. Included in this was hot-cold, pastry, and western-food. The position was not inferior of the chefs directly under the head chef. It could even be said to be higher and could be considered as the sous chef.

Previously, Wei Xiao Bei had been able to cook alone, but he was just a normal chef.

HIs sudden increase in position had made everyone aggrieved.

It must be known that being a normal chef in the Long Hu Dou Restaurant required a first class certification.

Sous chefs were all top quality chefs, and chef de partie were all technical experts. As for Huang Jun, he could be said to be the only master grade chef in the entire Cui Hu City.

In terms of credentials, master grade was the highest a chef could obtain.

Naturally, it did not mean that the better your credentials were, the more awesome you were.

In this period of time, the skills that Wei Xiao Bei displayed had made the other chefs be aware of this. Moreover, with Huang Jun’s prestigious position, no one was dumb enough to come out and oppose him.

Wei Xiao Bei was a bit satisfied as the roundsman position was not bad.

After all, compared to a normal chef, the work of a roundsman was as much as you can handle.

Since normal ingredients could not create rare quality dishes, then he had no more interest in wasting time cooking high-quality dishes.

If he used the time wasted in cooking high-quality dishes, studying would have been more productive.

However, work soon came to Wei Xiao Bei.

Someone had reserved for a feast. The menu consisted of many first-rate specialty dishes such as Buddha jumps over the wall, croaker soup, braised abalone with pearl, steamed camel’s hump, Crucian carp tongue in braised bear’s paw, and many others.

For these dishes, just their ingredients alone were difficult to find.

Ingredients such as croaker, double head abalone, or bear’s paw were things that could not be bought easily even with money.

Luckily, these things were left to Huang Jun to worry about.

As a master grade chef, Huang Jun had a lot of ways to do this.

At this point, the next problem arrived.

Every single one of these dishes were from many different cuisines, and there were even foreign cuisines.

There were even dishes that Huang Jun was not too familiar of.

The chefs did not dare make their moves easily. If they made a mistake in cooking these dishes, then they would have wasted the ingredients. The problems that this would cause were huge.

This could not be helped as a dish that they had never made before would have a high chance of having problems.

Wei Xiao Bei on the other hand was very happy and took over this job.

With so many valuable ingredients and famous specialty dishes, the probability of making a rare-quality dish should not be low.

As for whether the dish might be ruined, he did not even consider such a thing.

This was the benefit of skills. As long as Wei Xiao Bei did not mess up following the recipe, then destroying a dish would be a very difficult thing to do.

Naturally, it was impossible for Wei Xiao Bei to make every single dish since the time was not enough. Huang Jun and the other chef de partie all joined in. However, they only acted to support Wei Xiao Bei and also helped make some of the dishes that they were experts in. However, the more expensive dishes were all left to Wei Xiao Bei’s hands.

However another problem cropped up.

Just the procurement of ingredients already gave Huang Jun a headache, not that he did not have enough manpower.

Procuring ingredients required someone with a deep understanding of ingredients.

If they spent a lot of money and bought bad quality ingredients, then they were in a doomed ship.

Moreover, the ingredients were not only procured all over the country, but they also needed to be bought abroad.

Even if Huang Jun had three heads and six arms, it was impossible for him to procure all ingredients alone.

In the entire kitchen, the only people, who had the right qualification, that he could ask help from were the chef de parties and the sous chef.

Other than the people who needed to stay in the kitchen, he still lacked one more person to help procure the ingredients.

In the end, his gaze landed on Wei Xiao Bei’s body.

He thought that Wei Xiao Bei as a roundsman should not be lacking in this department.

Huang Jun had ample confidence in Wei Xiao Bei.

In front of Huang Jun, Wei Xiao Bei could not refuse. After all, everyone in the kitchen knew that Wei Xiao Bei would learn foreign languages and whatnot when he was idle. In the end, the task of procuring ingredients abroad were placed on Wei Xiao Bei’s body.

This was inevitable.

In the entire Long Hu Dou Restaurant, there were only a few people who knew how to speak a foreign language. In the kitchen, only two of the chef de parties knew how to speak a bit of English. However, their eye for ingredients was not sharp enough and they also needed to defend the kitchen, thus only Wei Xiao Bei could go.

Right now, Wei Xiao Bei was already proficient in English and French. Now he was delving into Spanish and Russian.

The amount of people whose mother tongue was Spanish amounted to 332 million. This was higher than English. Their distributions were mainly in Europe and Latin America. People who had Russian as their mother tongue were 145 million people. Their distribution was around Europe and Asia.

The scope of these two languages were much more broad. Thus, he had included these two languages in his learning.

However, when Wei Xiao Bei saw the countries that he needed to go to, he frowned.

Italy, France, Iran, Alaska, and Spain.

There were five different countries.

He needed to obtain many ingredients. Some of them included Italy’s Morchella, France’s Black Truffle, Iran’s Almas Caviar, Alaska’s Tuna, Spain’s Blue Crayfish, and many others.

In other words, Wei Xiao Bei needed to stay in different countries for a month.

Since he had accepted the task, he could not decline anymore. However, it seemed that he needed to now change hus language learning plans.

Italy’s main language was italian, but he could also use French in some regions. As for Iran, the main language was Persian, but he should be able to use English to communicate. And then there was Spanish which he was currently learning.

As a result, Wei Xiao Bei decided to focus on Spanish.

When he returned to the dojo, he prepared dinner. Huang Kun had also returned from school.
