[The Magical Chef of Ice and Fire]

[Adapted from Tang Jia San Shao's novel "The Magical Chef of Ice and Fire"]

[Previously...] Grandpa Zha.

Are you the Demon Chef?

After I started living in seclusion,

I sealed this knife.

But today,

I'll make an exception for you.

A good dish

not only can satisfy one's heart and soul,

it can also open up the five senses

and bring about unprecedented feelings.

I never expected a single dish

can actually improve my senses this much.

Magic?

Child.

You are mage.

A fire mage!

-

Magic?

Child.

You...

You're a mage.

A fire mage!

I'm not!

This dish

made me mobilize fire magic involuntarily.

A mage!

A mage just happened to come to Peach Blossom Forest.

This must be destiny!

Finally!

Finally!

You can't imagine how long I've waited.

Grandpa Zha.

You...

Fire magic circle!

(Why is Grandpa Zha)

(looking for magicians?)

(Could it be that he knows the Ice God Pagoda is after me?)

(But...)

(it was Grandpa Zha who saved my life.)

(If he wasn't willing to take me in during this time,)

(I'd still have nowhere to go.)

(I'll go ask Grandpa Zha to Clear things up.)

Nian Bing.

Grandpa Zha.

I didn't mean to hide my identity,

but

why are you looking for mages?

Nian Bing.

Have you heard of magic cooking?

Magic cooking?

Could it be cooking with magic?

The only regret in my life

is not being able to use magic to cook.

For so long,

I've always had a wish,

which is to find a mage to be my successor.

Successor?

Grandpa Zha.

You want me to learn cooking from you?

Do you want to?

You're not going to ask

why I hid my identity as a mage’?

Being an old man

living in seclusion in a remote forest,

do you think I'd mind your past?

Everyone has their own difficulties and hardships.

No matter what you say,

I'd Choose to believe you.

Nian Bing.

Be my apprentice.

But...

I've never thought about learning to cook.

I just want to become the most powerful magician.

(If not,)

I

(how could I avenge my mom and dad?)

;

(I cannot let the Ice God Pagoda get away with it.)

The reason you want to become more powerful

is to avenge your parents, right?

I'm very sorry for the tragedy you encountered,

but what help can

remembering those painful memories be?

Why not stay here and learn to cook from me?

Isn't it better

to forget that pain?

There's something

I want to show you.

I have a way to erase your memories.

This is the magic scroll I got

from exchanging the famous dish the Eight Delicacies.

Originally,

I was going to use it on myself,

but I can give it to you instead.

An advanced hypnotism technique is sealed within the scroll.

It can erase your memories

and help you forget those painful experiences.

You don't have the strength to defeat those bandits right now.

Why not forget everything

and focus on learning to cook?

Use this time to advance your magic.

Once your magic powers are strong enough,

the hypnosis will automatically unravel.

You'll have a chance of victory

when you take your revenge then.

Grandpa Zha.

You're right.

With my current strength,

I really can't do much.

But...

But I don't want to forget my past either.

Happy or painful, they are my precious memories.

I don't want to avoid reality

or forget the most important people in my life.

You never used this scroll,

so you must feel the same way.

Grandpa Zha.

Thank you for your kindness.

Can I take more time

to think about learning to cook?

You're right.

Memories, whether good or bad,

are all precious.

I shouldn't have given you this kind of suggestion.

I don't want to force you

to learn to cook.

It's getting late.

Go get some rest.

Grandpa Zha. Thank you for your kindness.

(There is no shortcut to practicing magic.)

(One could only accumulate magical powers)

(by continuously communicating)

(with the magical elements through meditation.)

(After having Grandpa Zha's Peach Blossom Sliced Meat)

(my body's feel and sensitivity for the magical elements)

(seems to have been elevated.)

(One dish)

(can make people have feelings this strong.)

(This is the breakthrough sensory experience)

(Grandpa Zha was talking about?)

(Fife element?) '

(There were)

(this much fire elemental magic to call on?)

(Ice,)

(fire,)

(wind,)

(earth,)

(space,)

(Iight,)

(darkness)

(are the seven different types of magical elements.)

(Through the accumulation of various experiences,)

(the five senses can be gradually opened up.)

(The body's perception of other magical elements)

(has become keener as well.)

(Ten years to practice cooking,)

(ten years to understand cooking.)

(Maybe)

(the combination of magic and cooking)

(will bring unexpected improvements.)

Grandpa Zha.

Nian Bing.

It has been a long time since I chopped wood.

You've been doing all the laborious work recently.

I think I should still do some physical work occasionally.

Grandpa Zha.

Although I only had one of your dishes,

I experienced unprecedented feelings

and even got a new understanding of magic.

I know I've underestimated cooking.

If you're still willing,

please take me on as your apprentice.

Let me study under you, Master!

Master?

I finally have an apprentice!

I finally have a successor!

You've finally come around?

Now that you've decided,

you can't back out easily.

Yes.

But

being my apprentice is no easy feat.

First, let me take a look at

What level

your magical abilities are at.

Oh, passionate fire element.

Please condense into a scorching edge,

burn the obstacles and sins in front of you.

Fire Blade Technique!

(Being so young,)

(this boy's skills have already surpassed that of an elementary mage.)

(Very talented.)

You normally use this flame blade to Chop wood for me?

Did you burn the entire peach blossom forest down?

No, Master.

The Flame Blade Technique will burn the chopped wood.

I used the Ice Blade Technique.

Ice Blade?

Oh, great ice element.

Please condense into a giant sharp blade,

cut open the Chains and shackles of the world.

Ice Blade Technique!

You...

You...

You're a dual elemental mage?

This is great!

This is so great!

This really is a gift from the heavens to me.

I was born with both ice and fire physiques,

but my ice magic has just awakened.

In addition,

ice magic and fire magic

cannot be used simultaneously.

That's not a problem.

Fire magic is the foundation of magic cooking.

Ice magic is even more helpful to cooking.

Even if they can't be used at the same time,

as long as you know these two types of magic,

you can make ever-changing dishes.

It's decided.

Today is the day.

I'll show you how to cook right now.

You should know

that learning to cook is no easy feat.

Just like mages and warriors,

you need years of cultivation

to rise through the ranks.

Chefs’ cultivation process

is, by no means, easier than theirs.

If anything, it's even more difficult.

Starting from today,

you're going to start from the basics.

Pay close attention to my every step.

For a rare gem like the Blade of True Sun,

without a few years of cultivation,

it is impossible to control it.

From now on, without my permission,

you're not allowed to touch it.

Yes, Master.

To become a qualified chef,

you need to master the three skills first.

Knife skills.

Seasoning.

Temperature control.

Not a single one can be omitted.

(With a solid foundation,)

(coupled with a good understanding of the Characteristics)

(of various ingredients,)

(you can then distinguish the subtle differences of each dish,)

(learn from them,)

(continue to accumulate experience)

(until you become a top Chef.)

(Then, you can use your cooking skills)

(to open up the limits of the senses.)

(Those who practice martial arts)

(are especially sensitive to top dishes.)

(Relying on their own comprehension,)

(some people can even gain brand new powers.)

And all this

starts from solid basic skills.

This Open-flame Fish Soup I'm making with you right now

is the best example.

The fish shreds should be thin, long, and continuous.

This relies on knife skills.

The soup should be salty, fresh, sour, and Spicy.

This relies on seasoning.

The meat should be soft and tender.

This relies on temperature control.

Knife skills and seasoning cannot be perfected overnight.

I'll help train you in the future.

Let's have you try

controlling the temperature with magic this time.

Come on.

Try increasing the heat with fire magic.

Yes, Master.

Follow my instructions.

Oh, passionate fire element.

Burn!

Open-flame Fish Soup

is a dish that focuses the most on cooking temperature.

Open-flame,

as the name suggests,

is to heat the fish up abruptly with a blazing fire

to make the fish contract

and retain the essence.

But the difficult thing is

that once it boils,

the meat will become tough very quickly.

If the temperature isn't high enough,

the soup wouldn't be seasoned.

So at the moment of boiling,

you must quickly lower the heat and cool it off.

Repeat this process

to keep the fish tender

while absorbing the essence of the soup.

Keep at it.

Raise the temperature slowly.

Yes.

Stop.

Cool it off.

Oh, great ice element.

Freeze!

That's good.

Heat it up.

Fire element.

Cool it off.

Ice element.

Too cold.

Heat it up now.

Fire.

Very good.

Very good.

Make the fire burn more vigorously.

Flame Technique.

This is the essence of magic cooking.

(Why do)

(ice magic and fire magic clash with one another?)

(My willpower cannot control the two different types of energies in my body.)

Nian Bing!

(I was too impatient.)

(Although this child is exceptionally talented)

(and possesses dual elemental magic at the same time,)

(ice magic and fire magic will clash with one another.)

(If one is too impetuous in one's cultivation,)

(the consequences)

(could be disastrous.)

(Ice and Snow Goddess's Stone.)

(Flame God's Stone.)

(Did these two stones cause my magic to increase explosively?)

(My magic increased too fast,)

(but my body can't maintain the balance between the two elements.)

(My father said)

(no one can possess the two extreme types of magic,)

(ice magic and fire magic, at the same time.)

(The only thing I can do right now)

(is to do my best to suppress them.)

(Things are under control for now.)

(It's this late already?)

Grandpa Zha!

Could it be

pursuers from the Ice God Pagoda?

♪Sunlight kissed by white Clouds in the sky♪

♪Seabirds flapping against giant waves♪

♪Every place I've been to♪

♪No one would forget♪

♪Keep what happened on the way♪

♪In my heart♪

♪I used to be so young and frivolous♪

♪I shouldn't pretend now♪

♪I'm always too strong♪

♪But that made me lose my way♪

♪I'll fulfill that small dream♪

♪There is an unforgettable place♪

♪It's not easy to find the way♪

♪Let's look for how things used to be♪

♪Along the way♪

♪There is an unforgettable place♪

♪Happiness freely blooms there♪

♪Endless shimmer is Iit♪

♪You've been by my side after all♪

You sneaked into someone else's home in the middle of the night.

What do you want?!

He can use two kinds of magic.

Are you sent

by the Ice God Pagoda?

Do those from the Ice God Pagoda want to kill me this much?

I'm not intended to kill you.

You stole my things first.

I smelled this during the day in the kitchen.

It indeed tastes good as expected!

If this is seen as my first time cooking,

then you are

my first customer.

Don't you ever forget about this then.

Will we meet again?

Some day.

I don't know

her name yet.
