[The Magic Chef of Ice and Fire]

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

[Previously...] Aunty.

You really look a lot like my mom.

Child.

Do I look a lot like your mom?

(He probably misses his mother too much.)

(Don't cry.)

(If you're willing,)

(I can be your mom.)

(This jade pendant is my token.)

(It has my name on it.)

I have a hunch

that this child

will definitely make a name for himself on this continent.

(Yu Ru Yan.)

(She's very similar to Mom.)

(Who is she?)

-

Supreme Ice and Snow Priestess.

These few years,

we have searched

all areas surrounding the Tianqing River,

but still haven't found any trace of Rong Nian Bing.

Rong Nian Bing?

Useless!

(Able to instantly cast such a high-level spell,)

(is this the power of the Ice and Snow Priestess?)

To take that blow without using magic defense,

he is worthy of being the head of the twelve priests.

Ice and Snow Priestess.

All responsibility lies with me.

I am willing to accept all the punishment.

Starting today,

you are no longer the First Priest.

Recover the Ice Goddess Stone.

Otherwise, apologize with your death.

Yes, ma'am.

All as the supreme Ice and Snow Priestess says.

As the supreme Ice and Snow Priestess says.

If you would still like to request an audience,

please wait for instructions in the guest room.

It's so Iively here!

Although Icy City isn't as famous as Ice Moon City,

it is still one of the economic centers of the Ice Moon Empire.

Being by the Tianqing River,

many chambers of commerce have bases here.

So naturally, it is a bustling city.

Master.

I'm hungry again.

Your appetite has become bigger and bigger in the past three years.

Let's just get something to eat here.

Master.

You go in first.

I'll put the cart down.

(It's you?)

Wait!

[Zhongsheng Inn, Icy City] You're not ordering anything else?

No. That's all.

Didn't you say you were hungry?

Why did it take you so long to come inside?

Was it because you were chasing after a girl?

Master.

Hurry up and order.

I'm starving.

I've already ordered.

Just wait for the food to come out.

If you find a good girlfriend in the future,

I'll feel at ease.

Master! Are you serious?

So stingy?!

I pushed the cart for so long.

How can steamed buns provide enough nutrition?

Silly boy.

You are used to my cooking,

eating something made by ordinary restaurants like this one

will make you spit it out right away.

I know you are the amazing Demon Chef,

but you don't need to belittle others like that.

Even if they can't cook to your standards,

things still wouldn't taste that bad.

They are chefs after all.

You don't believe me?

Fine.

We'll order another dish.

You'll know once you try it.

If there isn't a huge gap between my cooking and ordinary chefs' cooking,

why did I win five consecutive

Master Chef championships back then?

Server.

Another green vegetable dish for us.

Master.

I'm digging in.

What the heck is this?

It tastes so bad!

It tastes like raw cooking oil.

When the vegetables were put into the wok,

the oil must have been cold still.

The fragrance of the vegetable didn't come through at all.

So much salt and seasoning too.

It's terribly unpalatable.

Looks like you did learn from your time with me,

you've pointed out pretty much all the shortcomings of this dish.

Alright.

Today is the day.

Today, I'm going to teach you another dish.

Server.

What is it?

We'd like to borrow your kitchen for a while.

Please.

Li.

Let them borrow the kitchen for a bit.

Do whatever.

Everything is here.

If you want to cook, go ahead.

Saying I can't cook?

I want to see what you can do.

Nian Bing.

Today, I'm going to teach you a new dish.

How long can you maintain your fire magic now?

If I only use the Flame Technique,

I should be fine for half an hour.

Half an hour is perfect.

Let's begin.

Tomatoes.

Potatoes.

Carrot.

Onion.

Shrimp.

Oyster.

Start cutting.

Aside from the tomatoes,

out everything else into strips.

Okay.

Impressive.

Only his knife skills are decent.

Please leave.

This is my kitchen!

Let's go.

He who pays the piper calls the tune?

Forget it.

Don't make money the enemy.

Let's go.

This dish

is all about the choice and ratio of ingredients.

(Chop the tomatoes, shrimp, and oyster)

(into pastes)

(and put everything into this seasoning box.)

No problem.

Leave it to me.

Heat up the wok.

Oh, passionate fire element.

Please condense into the light of the fire,

bring warmth to the world.

Flame Technique.

Not bad.

Your control of the fire magic is also getting more and more stable.

Master.

What are you doing?

This dish is called

Three-Sauce Braised Fish.

The most important part-is making the sauces.

The three sauces are

soybean sauce, seafood sauce, and tomato sauce.

Then, layer the bottom of the wok with potato, carrot, and onion.

Season the three layers with the three sauces

at the same time.

Coupled with the umami and freshness of the fish itself,

the essence of this dish will surface.

Layer the bottom with one-third of the sauce,

put the chopped ingredients on top,

brush another third of the sauce on top,

and then put in the fish and the vegetables.

Nian Bing.

Keep your flame consistent.

It'll be ready to eat

in half an hour.

I don't believe he can make a good dish.

Smells so good.

I've never smelled a dish as good as this.

That old man is this good?

Let's go

and take a look.

What did you make?

It smells so good.

Nian Bing.

Remember.

Cooking depends on the other party as well.

Not everyone has the right to eat your cooking.

(A Chef has the honor and dignity of a chef.)

(Only those who are deserving)

(can eat what we make.)

It's ready.

Bring it out.

Mhm.

(Master said)

(that when judging a dish,)

(once should take into account the color, aroma, taste, and appearance.)

(Master is willing to give a taste,)

(looks like I didn't mess up this time.)

Wait.

(This... Is this really fish?)

(The taste is so complex.)

(This is all thanks to your magical flame control.)

(To season the three layers with the three sauces at the same time,)

a continuous, fierce flame is required

to make it work.

I heated it using fire magic for so long,

wouldn't the fish become mushy?

This is the power of braising.

Ten boils cannot be compared to one act of braising.

Braising

can not only look in the moisture and let the main ingredient be seasoned,

but also enhance the texture of the ingredients,

keeping all the essence in the flesh.

The fish is firm and not mushy.

Every bite is filled with delicious juices.

Together with the smooth sauce,

it's like tasting the fusion between fish and water.

It's like being in different currents.

The layers in the sauce are distinct.

Master.

The sauce you made is too awesome.

You finished everything?

There's nothing left?

Even tasting a tiny bit would be great.

Chef!

Please let me be your apprentice!

I already have an apprentice.

Please!

Chef!

-Chef! Chef! -Chef! Chef!

Chef!

Wanting to see me so badly,

what intentions does the Oran Empire have?

We're here on behalf of the Lan family.

We hope that you can take on our daughter,

Lan Chen, as your apprentice.

Why?

I'm a genius born for ice magic.

Everyone says

I can definitely become a divine descendant.

Please forgive her rudeness.

Actually,

Chen has the physique of the ice phoenix.

Ice phoenix?

Child.

You said you want to become a divine descendant?

Mhm.

If you want to practice cultivation in the Ice God Pagoda,

you must devote your entire life to it,

obey all rules,

and hold the honor and dignity of the Ice God Pagoda

above your own life.

From now on,

you are no longer Duke Lan Yu's daughter.

What?

Mom.

Chen.

I only think of what is best for you.

(But you should be the one)

(to decide your own future.)

I'll devote everything to the Ice God Pagoda.

Please take me on as your apprentice!

Master.

The Three-Sauce Braised Fish widened my horizon again.

Please teach me a few more dishes.

I want to taste every single dish.

More haste, less speed.

We're here.

This is it.

[Parallel Goods Ironmongery, Icy City] Parallel Goods Ironmongery?

With a name like this,

who would shop here?

Nian Bing.

Remember.

No matter what you're doing,

do not be fooled by the other party's appearance.

Although the facade doesn't look great,

the world's number one blacksmith lives here.

World's number one?

If he really is the world's number one blacksmith,

how could he live in a place like this?

The Demon Chef can live in a peach blossom forest that's in the middle of nowhere,

why can't the Master Blacksmith live in a run-down yard?

Little broken blade!

I'm here to see you!

Hey.

Little broken blade.

Dead yet?

♪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 lit♪

♪You've been by my side after all♪

[Next episode] (You'd never visit for no reason.)

(You old geezer.)

What brings you here?

(This is Yangguang Continent's number one Master Blacksmith,)

(Hua Tian.)

(Apprentice or not)

(the Blade of True Sun I gave you is my most prized work,)

(I won't help you forge any more blades.)

(You don't want to taste the Eight Delicacies one more time?)

(If you keep holding this blade,)

(you'll definitely die.)
