43 Song Xiaotian’s Gift
When the crowd of people heard that the first staff that Lu Yu wanted to recruit was a chef, everyone was stupefied.
When other dojos recruit, they invariably try to recruit the powerful experts first. What Lu Yu did was completely unexpected, since he was looking for chefs first and foremost.
“I am at the level of an Advanced Martial Arts Warrior, so I am qualified. But in terms of culinary skills, I am really quite clueless.”
“I spent every day practicing and developing my skills. How can I possibly develop any culinary skills?”
“Why is Dojo Master Lu recruiting chefs first, of all positions?”
“…”
As the people in the crowd exchanged baffled looks, everyone had similar dumbfounded looks.
When Lu Yu saw their reactions, he understood their confusion but felt that he had no choice.
A few days ago, Lu Yu wanted to cook the meat of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth to eat. However, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was way too big, and its meat was very precious.
If Lu Yu had used his own method of cooking, he could still elevate his abilities, but he would not be able to extract nutrients completely.
As far as the Gluttony Talent was concerned, the better the ingredients and the more skillful the cooking method, the more benefits it could derive from the cuisine.
The meat of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was without any doubt a high-class ingredient.
As for the best cooking method, Lu Yu was at a loss as to what to do.
In addition, the size of the Mammoth was simply too big and this increased the difficulty of cooking it. Lu Yu honestly did not know how to proceed to cook it, and thought that it might be better if he hired a professional to help.
Lu Yu pointed to the massive corpse of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth stored in the huge custom-made fridge located behind him and said,
“This is the corpse of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth. It is an A-class Fearsome Beast. Only those applicants who know how to cook the meat of this Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth will be considered to have qualified and can take on the role of the head chef. I guarantee that you will be pleased with the terms that I will offer for this position.”
Due to Lu Yu’s reputation, an overwhelming number of people had arrived for the recruitment drive. Though most of the people were martial arts practitioners, with so many applicants, quite a number in their midst were chefs.
As news of Lu Yu’s desire to recruit a chef spread, more and more skillful chefs in Lunan City were attracted to try their luck.
The queue for people to register to take part formed a long snaking line.
Though many of the applicants themselves were chefs with excellent culinary skills, when they saw the huge corpse of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, they all backed off, admitting defeat.
Most of them were just experts in dealing with ordinary ingredients. As for ingredients from Fearsome Beasts, they could only handle those from the low-class Fearsome Beasts.
There was even a chef who hailed from a Great Martial Master Restaurant. Even this guy had to give up when he saw the corpse of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.
Although he was the head chef at a Great Martial Master Restaurant, the most he could handle were ingredients from B-class Fearsome Beasts.
The difference between A-class and B-class ingredients was as vast as heaven and earth. All the chefs on site expressed their helplessness.
Although Lu Yu had expected some difficulty in this area, he wasn’t expecting such a major setback.
With his wide-spread fame, practically all the applicants with some culinary skills in Lunan City had been attracted to this recruitment drive.
In such a big city like Lunan, not a single person knew how to cook the A-class Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.
At this moment, there was a shout of astonishment from the midst of the crowd of people.
“The Patriarch of the Song family is here!”
“Why did the Patriarch of the Song family come here out of the blue?”
“Damn! A big shot is here!”
As more shouts rippled through the crowd, people began parting in the middle to make way.
Under the tight security of the guards from the main Song family, Song Xiaotian walked out to meet Lu Yu.
Previously, Lu Yu and Song Xiaotian had met once before, due to the incident involving Song Lin and Song Ding.
When he saw Song Xiaotian approaching, Lu Yu was quite taken aback. “Mr. Song, may I ask what’s the purpose of your sudden visit today?”
Song Xiaotian, who was normally very stern-faced, was uncharacteristically beaming warmly at Lu Yu. He said, “Mr. Lu , thank you so much for saving my little girl’s life. She is fully recovered now. As for the previous incident involving Song Lin and Song Ding, I have already instructed my people to investigate thoroughly and ascertained that they were completely at fault. I have already punished them according to the family rules and kicked them out of the Song family.”
When the people surrounding them overheard their conversation, all of them were shocked by the news.
“He’s the Patriarch of the Song family, yet he did not hesitate to kick his own branch family members out. On top of that, that guy was the head of the branch family too!”
“I have heard of that incident too. It appeared that the problem was caused by Song Lin and Song Ding.”
“Who would have thought that Mr. Lu Yu turned out to be the savior of the daughter of the Song family’s Patriarch! He’s really incredible!”
Lu Yu was also very much surprised by this news. He did not expect Song Xiaotian would still expel Song Lin and Song Ding from the Song family even after punishing them.
With this turn of events, Song Lin and Song Ding would have undergone a great deal of suffering.
“Mr. Song, you are too kind,” Lu Yu smiled in reply.
Song Xiaotian peered at the corpse of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth behind Lu Yu, and various thoughts spun furiously through his mind as the information he had previously collected and the news from Song Yu were consolidated. In an instant, he realized what Lu Yu was thinking and laughed out loud before saying, “I’m afraid it’s not that easy to recruit a chef who can handle the meat from a Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, right?”
Lu Yu looked at the huge corpse of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth before him and shook his head wearily.
Song Xiaotian then took out a custom-made box and said with a laugh, “This is the extant fragment of the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’ manual that was passed down in our family. Although it is incomplete, it is still very precious nonetheless. Inside this manual, there are records of cooking methods for the meat from huge land-based living creatures. Perhaps it may come in handy for your Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth. You can consider this a gift of thanks from our Song family for saving my daughter, as well as compensation for the earlier incident.”
After listening to him, Lu Yu was even more surprised.
Before this, Lu Yu had already made his own inquiry and ascertained that cooking the meat of Fearsome Beasts required special cooking methods.
Methods of cooking the meat of low-class Fearsome Beasts were much easier to find, however, methods for the higher-class types were a lot harder to find.
Even cooking methods for the meat from B-class Fearsome Beasts were rare, much less methods for the A-class types.
He didn’t expect that Song Xiaotian would have on his hands the very knowledge he needed to cook the meat from the A-class Fearsome Beasts. Indeed, the wisdom of an influential family was vast and deep.
“Mr. Song, you’re really too kind,” Lu Yu replied with a laugh. This gift from Song Xiaotian out of the blue was truly a blessing to him.
Following that, Song Xiaotian took out a few more items and briefly gave an introduction with a smile.
“Pardon my inquisitiveness, but I did some research on the news regarding you. I found out that your wife is not a martial arts practitioner. She is now over the age of 40 and has begun aging. This item here is the Beauty Sustaining Pill. It can be used to resist the effects of aging without any side effects. She will be able to retain her current appearance not just past the age of 40, but also until the grand old age of 100.”
“Furthermore, I found out that your son and daughter have not achieved their awakening. These 2 items are the Perfection-grade Awakening Pills. They can not only help them achieve awakening successfully, there are also no side effects and can help elevate their potential by a lot.”
Lu Yu was slightly taken aback after listening to him.
Lu Yu was already familiar with the Beauty Sustaining Pill. Although it did not help much at all in terms of elevating one’s abilities, it could preserve the user’s appearance permanently. Thus it was without any doubt very precious. In fact, it was considered a priceless item that even those with money would not be able to buy. Only a person from an influential family like the Song family could have whipped out such an item so casually.
As for the Awakening Pills, Lu Yu had also considered using them too.
After all, his two children had not awakened to become Martial Arts Warriors. The martial arts exam was around the corner. If they still had not awakened to become Martial Arts Warriors by then, then they would not have any chance to get into any martial arts universities.
However, the Awakening Pills came in different grades. There was Low-grade, Intermediate-grade, High-grade and Perfection-grade. Amongst them, the Low-grade Awakening Pills only offered a chance to achieve awakening while the Intermediate-grade offered a bigger chance of achieving awakening.
The High-grade and Perfection-grade, however, guaranteed that the users would achieve awakening successfully.
Not only that, both the High-grade and Perfection-grade pills could also help to increase the users’ potential.
It was said that after using the High-grade Awakening Pill, even a martial arts practitioner with average capability, could advance to the level of a Martial Master at the very least if he trained and practiced very hard.
As for the Perfection-grade Awakening Pill, it was even more valuable. It commanded a stratospheric price in the hundreds of millions. Even so, it was still considered a priceless item that money couldn’t buy. Its effects were absolutely astonishing. Not only could it help the user achieve awakening without any side effects at all, it was rumored that the pill could increase the user’s potential to the level of a Great Martial Master at the very least.
In other words, when one used the top grade Awakening Pill, he could, at the very least, reach the level of a Great Martial Master in future!
