Chapter 39: Gretel’s Invitation

Ye Jin looked at the ingredients piled up in the freezer, looked at Luo Chengjin in disbelief and said, “I won’t have to make these ingredients, right? It takes so many ingredients to make one dish. People are too busy.”

Luo Chengjin hurriedly said when he heard Ye Jin’s words: “Don’t worry, Xiao Jin, I will find someone to handle these ingredients for you. You just need to make the dishes. If you are really too busy, I will find them. A few clever ones will let you train for two days urgently, or you can call your apprentices here too, but it may not be convenient for them to move around here.”

In the end, Ye Jin thought about it and decided to let Luo Chengjin arrange a few people to help. After all, it would be too troublesome to go back and forth for two or three days.

Ye Jin took the ingredients for breakfast and returned to the residence, planning to make some wontons for Bai Bai for breakfast, and also invited Luo Chengjin, who was helping along the way, to have breakfast together.

Ye Jin quickly put the wrapped wontons into the pot, and put out two servings for Luo Chengjin and one for Bai Bai. 

Luo Chengjin looked at the small wontons placed in front of him. The savory aroma passing through his nose made his index fingers move automatically.

Luo Chengjin looked greedily at the big bowl of small wontons in front of him, couldn’t help but secretly take a deep breath of the aroma.

Glancing at the admiral who was eating opposite, Luo Chengjin finally couldn’t resist the temptation of the aroma and picked up the bowl to eat stand up.

After the three of them finished their meal, Luo Chengjin said, “Xiao-Jin, your bowl of wontons is not only delicious, but the energy contained in it is much brighter than what you can feel through the light brain, and there is a warm feeling in my body.”     

Ye Jin raised his head and glanced at Luo Chengjin when he heard him describe and wondered about what kind of experience it would be for some injured people to eat the dishes they made.

Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but ask.     

Hearing Ye Jin’s words, Luo Chengjin described: “The energy contained in your dish is a life-saving medicine for the superhuman. After eating, there will be a warm energy in the body, and this energy will affect the original body. Existing powers to repair the body, the most obvious feeling is warm and lazy, and you will feel the flow of energy in the body.”

Ye Jin felt a little novel after listening to it. After all, for him, although he could make dishes with energy, he himself would never feel what it was like.

Hearing Luo Chengjin’s description and efficacy at this time, he couldn’t help but be curious about why dishes contain energy, and he was even more interested in studying format dishes. 

He cooked ordinary Chinese dishes. He has studied the special dishes, but there is nothing unusual about it.

If I make a medicinal diet, I don’t know if the effect will be higher.

Ye Jin was sitting at the dining table thinking silently, and suddenly Luo Chengjin’s voice came from his ear, “Xiao Jin, you just came here, why don’t I take you to the neighborhood to get acquainted with it? Although it’s close to the front line of the military area, there are still places where you can go shopping. There is a small market nearby, all the stalls set up by the military members will trade some strange gadgets.”

Ye Jin recovered after hearing Luo Chengjin’s words. 

Come on, I was very curious about the small market in Luo Chengjin’s mouth.

But he still cared more about the dishes, so he said: “I’ll talk about shopping later, I’m still more concerned about making dishes, you go to a few first. If someone clever comes to me, I can start preparing now, and then I won’t be in a rush to cook.” 

Ye Jin said, putting away the bowls that the two of them had eaten to wash.

Luo Chengjin felt warm when he heard that Ye Jin was so anxious and made the dishes. After all, the dish earlier was also a good thing for the soldiers who were seriously injured.

Thinking of this, Luo Chengjin glanced at the admiral on the side, and when he saw that he had no objection, he nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll make arrangements. I’ll bring them to you in the afternoon.”

After Luo Chengjin left, seeing that the time was only less than nine o’clock, Ye Jin planned to take Bai Bai to the small market that Luo Chengjin mentioned, but he was stopped by a sturdy man before he went out.

Ye Jin looked at the tall, dark-faced man in front of him, took a step back with Bai Bai, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said, “Excuse me, why are you stopping me?”

Gretel looked at his face with a calm expression. The gorgeous boy looked at him in surprise for a while and said, “Aren’t you nervous at all? Aren’t you afraid of me?”

Ye Jin looked at the surprised face of the man in front of him, and looked at him carefully for a while before saying, “Although you don’t look like a good person, you don’t have any intention of hurting me.

If you want to hurt me, you shouldn’t be here, right? After all, it’s not far from the military area, you can see where we are standing as soon as you look up.”

Gretel raised an eyebrow and said noncommittally: “You’re smart. I’m not here to harm you this time. I’m here to talk to you about a business. I don’t know if it’s convenient for you to find a place to talk about it?”

Ye Jin looked at the man’s confident look, nodded indifferently and said with a smile, “For safety’s sake, let’s just talk about it here. After all, I’m afraid that you will do anything to me if we can’t agree on it.”

Gretel looked at the cautious young man in front of him, shrugged and nodded: “It’s okay. In fact, my intention is very simple. Please come to be my personal chef. The price is up to you, as long as you make special dishes for me.”

Ye Jin frowned subconsciously when he heard the man’s words: “What do you mean to be on call?”

Gretel looked at Ye Jin, who frowned slightly, and said as a matter of course: “Of course, although it is a bit harsh, the price can be set as you wish, and it will never make you suffer.”

Ye Jin heard this resolutely. Shaking his head, he said, “I don’t like being called to come and go, so I can’t do your request. I’m sorry.” Ye Jin was about to turn around and leave.

As soon as he turned around, Ye Jin was stopped again, only to hear Gretel speak again: “Xiao Ye Jin, in my opinion, the price is up to you. As long as you cook a few dishes when I need it, other than that providing you with all the conveniences outside will not prevent you from any action.

This is not difficult, why don’t you want to? Isn’t this the dream job of all imperial people?”

Ye Jin looked in front of him with a puzzled expression. 

He was a bit speechless, and explained: “Mr. Gretel, not everyone likes such a job, and I’m not short of money now, and I don’t like to work for others. But I’m still very grateful for your approval.”

After Ye Jin explained, he turned around and returned to the military area, not even in the mood to go shopping.

Gretel looked at Ye Jin’s back as he turned and left, his eyes darkened. He didn’t expect Ye Jin to refuse such a big temptation. 

After all, compared with the hard work of opening a store, this one only needs to be done when the owner needs it. 

Jobs with higher wages, better pay, and more freedom seem more attractive, but Ye Jin directly choose to refuse without even the slightest hesitation. 

Gretel really didn’t understand what Ye Jin was thinking.

Looking at the door of the military area where no one was seen, Gretel frowned irritably. 

This time the mission failed, let alone attracting Ye Jin. He was afraid that there would be no chance of contact next week.

With that in mind, Gretel left the vicinity of the military area and sent a notification of mission failure to His Majesty the Insect Emperor.

After returning to the room, Ye Jin looked at the two soldiers who had been forcibly left behind to watch the house, and decided to take them with him when he went out in the future, so as to block himself from these inexplicable people.

Fu Chen, who was carried back to his residence by Ye Jin, watched Ye Jin sitting on the sofa and searching for new ingredients.

He finally slipped back to the bedroom and sent a message to Luo Chengjin, asking him to find a way to get his contact information to Ye Jin.

Luo Chengjin, who received the information, “…” 

In the afternoon, Luo Chengjin brought three selected soldiers to Ye Jin. The three soldiers selected by Luo Chengjin came to help and saw Ye Jin. 

When he was a dog, it looked like a dog saw a bone, and his eyes lit up.

If it wasn’t for Luo Chengjin’s warning not to scare people, he probably would have wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.

Ye Jin looked at the excited faces of the three of them, and hugged Bai Bai in his arms a little uncomfortable, and said to Luo Chengjin: 

“Since everyone is here, then we can start the training. I just don’t know if there is a bigger place. My kitchen is too small after all, and it will be inconvenient to be busy at that time.”

Luo Chengjin also saw Ye Jin’s discomfort, and turned his head to warn the three of them. Ye Jin said: “Don’t worry about this, we have a large temporarily built kitchen here, which can fully accommodate a dozen people. 

You can check the kitchen utensils later. If there is anything you need to add, please tell me directly or the person behind you. A few people are fine.” 

After speaking, he took Ye Jin to the newly built temporary kitchen.

Ye Jin nodded and followed Luo Chengjin all the way to the so-called temporary kitchen.

Ye Jin looked at the oversized cauldron in front of him that was built according to his requirements, and then looked at the large ones under the open and empty square all around. 

The temporary cooking table without the material was a little speechless for a while, but considering so many soldiers on the front line, the environment here is indeed the most suitable. At least the place is big enough.

Ye Jin looked around carefully and said: “The place is quite big, and the cooking table is big enough, so many soldiers might not be enough to cook on one pot table. 

After all, there are 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers stationed in Shita Star, right?”

Luo Chengjin was stunned for a moment when he heard Ye Jin’s words, and then he reacted with tears and laughter: “Xiao Jin, did you misunderstand something?

I asked you to make special dishes, just for those wounded who just came down from the battlefield. 

Soldiers, and those veterans who have suffered serious physical damage from supernatural riots all year round. Just to be able to cure them, and then encourage them to reward them so that the injuries can be less painful.”

Luo Chengjin’s mood was down for a moment, and then returned to normal, but continued in a low tone: 

“The soldiers on the front line are all working hard for the empire, we generals can’t do anything after they receive the energy interference ability riot, but we also want to do our best. 

The ability to give them hope, even if this hope is very slim, but all of us will insist on doing it. After all, maybe one day we ourselves will be one of them, for our more comrades in arms or ourselves. 

Even if there is a glimmer of hope, you have to try, and that’s why we invited you here.”

Luo Chengjin suddenly thought of the communication sent by his admiral before, and added, “And this time, our admiral asked me to invite you here. Although he is very busy and doesn’t have time to receive you, he still wants to say thank you, thank you for coming.”

Ye Jin was stunned when he heard what Luo Chengjin said, and then he thought that the fourth legion was Admiral Fu who was in charge. 

He could invite himself over because of that possibility. It could be seen that he was not the kind of ruthless and ruthless person that was rumored to be.

Ye Jin asked curiously: “What kind of person are you Admiral Fu? Rumor has it that he is ruthless and decisive, even his own soldiers. But according to what you say now, he does not sound that bad.”
