Chapter 1530: May I Ask, Do You Still Take In Disciples? The Kind That’s A Little Older

Heyman had spent his life in the main kitchen. He came in when he was 11, and the first time he got to touch the knife was at 18. Afterward, he spent 30 years to become the head chef of Kitchen One. He spent another 100 years in the main kitchen, and took over the role of the supervisor from his master. That made it 120 years in total.

The chief and nobility had an exceptionally high expectation for their everyday meals, so he could not afford to make any mistakes. The lives of hundreds of chefs from the main kitchen depended on him.

Entering the main kitchen was akin to going to jail. Unless you died or lost the chief’s favor, there was no going out.

Heyman had been trying to innovate and create new dishes to come up with new flavors to satisfy the chief and nobilities’ taste buds so that they did not get tired of the food.

All the well-known chefs in the Falk Tribe were in the main kitchen. In addition, Heyman even searched around the other tribes in the Twilight Forest for chefs. However, because the tribes were all close by, the dishes that these chefs made were similar.

Therefore, Heyman turned to the gourmet magazine and the trends in the culinary world for inspiration.

Mamy Restaurant was no doubt the one all gourmet magazines vied over to feature in their series. Whether it was the eggplant with garlic sauce that revived the vegetarianism trend, or the red braised pork that made a hit in Meatatarianism, Mamy Restaurant had already shown its prowess in the culinary world. Moreover, it had even attracted a group of gourmets to plan or make their way to the restaurant.

Mag’s creative way of cooking could make one look forward to the dish’s taste with just the description of the dish. There were rarely any chefs in this world that could achieve that.

Besides, Heyman even heard that the legend of the culinary world, the Invincible God of Cookery, Harris, lost to Mag from Mamy Restaurant just a few days ago, and even became his disciple according to their agreement.

That really shocked Heyman.

It was important to note that Heyman’s idol had always been Harris. The one who had always been leading the trend and conquering peaks actually fell in defeat at Chaos City.

It was something the world did not expect.

The man who caused all this was sitting right in front of Heyman right now. He made a table full of food, and even invited him to join.

To be honest, other than feeling a little agitated, Heyman also felt slightly nervous.

When he brought a piece of the fragrant fish in front of him, he could see the slightly charred fish skin and the soft meat. Heyman watched it for a while as though he was looking at a rare treasure. It was difficult, even for the best grilled fish chef, to create two entirely different textures separated just by a thin layer of fish skin. It really displayed a shocking level of skill and heat control.

“The supervisor is very picky. Can this grilled fish satisfy his taste buds?”

“The supervisor started as an apprentice in Kitchen One’s grilled fish section back then. In the Falk Tribe, no, even the entire Twilight Forest, no one can make grilled fish as good as his.”

“In that case, since no one knows grilled fish better than the supervisor, this fellow won’t be able to make it, either.”

The chefs started conversing softly in the kitchen. Their expressions and gazes all had a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Everyone watched Heyman intently as he cast all the noise aside, and put the piece of fish into his mouth.

The moment the numbness and spiciness hit his tongue, Heyman couldn’t help but shudder.

It was a shudder that shook even his soul. What were the spices? That’s extraordinary!

But before Heyman could taste it in detail, the fish had made its grand entrance.

After biting into the slightly charred fish skin, beneath it was the tender meat. The taste of the spices and gravy was already infused into the meat. The spiciness and the freshness of the fish complemented each other perfectly to give the taste buds layer after layer of scrumptious attack.

Heyman was indeed the one who made the best grilled fish in their village, their tribe, and even the entire forest.

Back when he was young, he thought that no one could make grilled fish better than him, and he merely stopped saying so all these years, but he still thought so.

Until… today.

This piece of grilled fish had flung him into the ground.

Even for an old chef who had grilled fish for 120 years, and was constantly coming up with new ways and improvements, he had to admit that this was the best grilled fish he had ever tasted.

This was a completely different way of making grilled fish. It beautifully infused grilled fish and stewed fish together, and the outcome was exceptional.

Rip!

The sound of cloth ripping caught everyone off guard. Heyman’s shirt actually ripped, revealing his jiggling fat.

“Ah… this is such an incredible taste! It’s not too much to call it the best grilled fish in the world!” Heyman complimented. He looked at the grilled fish as though it was a shining gemstone. He could not help but reach his chopsticks out for another piece.

This time, he closed his eyes to feel the deliciousness explode on the tip of his tongue in detail. He could not help but smile with happiness.

It was indeed a form of happiness to be able to enjoy such a delicacy.

Moreover, Heyman could not wait to try this innovative way to grill fish. Just one little stove, and the way the grilled fish was eaten changed entirely.

On top of that, he finally understood the reason behind Harris wanting to become Mag’s disciple, a story that shook the entire culinary world. It was because… he also wanted to become Mag’s disciple right now!

It was impossible to learn how to make grilled fish so delicious anywhere else!

“The supervisor actually praised him so highly!”

“The world’s best grilled fish! In that case, the supervisor has already admitted that his grilled fish isn’t better than that fellow’s?”

A commotion suddenly exploded in Kitchen One. The chefs were all shocked.

As the figure of power in the world of grilled fish, the Twilight Forest’s grilled fish set the bar for how the dish was made. Even Heyman, who was very picky, gave such a good review. It was difficult to imagine how delicious this grilled fish actually was.

At this moment, the chefs standing in front had already swallowed their saliva umpteen times as they watched Heyman try the dish with happiness written all over his face.

“Uncle Crayman. You can try the vegetables under the fish. It’s super good,” Amy suggested.

“Aye, alright,” Heyman replied. He looked at the vegetables all around the grilled fish. There were cucumber slices, translucent cellophane noodles, and a vegetable that he did not know of which was sliced thinly and had many small holes in the middle. He thought for a while, and picked up a strand of cellophane noodle.

The slippery cellophane noodle slid into his mouth. It was submerged in the gravy, so the chewy cellophane noodle became exceptionally delicious as well.

Spicy and refreshing with a lingering fragrance in his mouth!

Heyman tried very hard to control his hand. He put his chopsticks down and stood up, looking at Mag, and saying, “Mr. Mag, I really admire your culinary skills. It is really the best choice to have you in charge of the banquet.”

“Thank you,” Mag said humbly.

“I still have a question. I don’t know if I should ask you.”

“Please do.”

“May I ask, do you still take in disciples? The kind that’s a little older.”
