Chapter 80 Inheritance
"Huh...ha...huh..."

Heavy breathing accompanied by increasingly heavy footsteps, Xu Qing was sweating profusely.

Physical strength has never been his strong point, and his keen five senses are of no help at this moment. It would be better to say that they are not making things worse.

The soreness in the muscles was extremely clear and kept being transmitted to my mind.

But Xu Qing no longer had the leisure to think at this moment. Excessive fatigue made his mind blank. He just took another step driven by instinct.

I don’t know how much time passed, it seemed like an hour, but also like only a second.

Finally, a voice came.

"Okay, let's stop and rest for a while."

Xu Qing subconsciously stopped, bent down, supported his knees with his hands and gasped heavily.

After his breathing became even, he dragged slowly to the big tree and unloaded the burdens on his body one by one.

Master Luo Tian, ​​who was lying under the shade of a tree, raised his head, looked at his face carefully, nodded and said, "Not bad, much better than yesterday."

Xu Qing didn't even have the energy to talk. He grabbed the bowl of water beside him and drank it all. Only then did the dryness and bloody taste in his mouth feel a little less severe.

Master Luo Tian was right. His training method was indeed tough, yet simple and direct.

Let Xu Qing run around the river every day, and after Xu Qing gets used to it, add weights and continue running.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

These days, Xu Qing hasn't even touched a kitchen knife. Apart from running, eating and sleeping, he has done nothing else every day.

His talent in cooking is indeed superior to others, but when it comes to basic levels such as physical training, he is just at the ordinary level.

Moreover, this boring physical training is really painful.

However, even though it was painful, Xu Qing had to endure it. Master Luo Tian had already made it very clear about the importance of physical fitness. The strength of his physical fitness would determine how far he could go in the future.

Moreover, physical fitness and skills complement each other. Only with sufficient physical fitness can you demonstrate more advanced skills.

Even the chefs in the dark cuisine world are well aware of this, and Chang Lin's acrobatic skills astounded Xu Qing.

Xu Qing also tentatively asked Master Luo Tian if he could develop the ability to do high-flying moves.

Master Luo Tian just glanced at him and told him not to aim too high and to learn how to run first.

Over the past month, he went from being exhausted like a dead dog every day to gradually becoming more comfortable with it, his steps becoming lighter and lighter, and he could still walk briskly even when carrying a heavy load. It was a world of difference from a month ago.

Master Luo Tian was also very satisfied with his progress and said that it was time to proceed to the next step.

……

It's another early morning.

"Hey, do you know where that kid named Xu Qing went? I haven't seen him recently."

"I'm not sure. It seems like he goes out with Master Luo Tian early in the morning every day and comes back only when the sun sets."

"I was wondering why I was in such a good mood recently. It turns out that I didn't see Master Luo Tian."

"That's right. Every day when I see him lying around doing nothing, I get really mad."

"is not that right……"

As they were talking, they turned the corner and saw a familiar person lying on a familiar recliner, basking in the sun. They were choked up and looked carefully, and saw that Master Luo Tian had his eyes closed, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

They didn't even dare to breathe and quickly turned around and left.

Xu Qing gloated, "Now you know how everyone sees you."

Master Luo Tian didn't open his eyes and snorted: "I am taking the initiative to abdicate and give the young people ample opportunities to exercise."

"Then why don't you just hand over the position of head chef to Master Jidi and enjoy a peaceful life like the elders of the Guangdong Chefs Association."

Master Luo Tian sighed: "Jidi is not good enough now. You have also eaten the dishes he made, so you should be able to tell."

"Is it a thought?"

"Yes, Jidi has good character and talent, but for some reason, he just can't get over the hurdle of his heart. I can't let him be the head chef."

Xu Qing did know some inside information, but since it was someone else's family affair, he couldn't interrupt and could only pretend he didn't know.

Xu Qing changed the subject and said, "Master, what kind of training should I do next?"

Master Luo Tian thought for a moment and said, "Your physical fitness has begun to show results. From now on, the time for daily physical training can be appropriately reduced. I noticed that except for your knife skills, your other skills are mediocre. Considering your talent, it shouldn't be that bad."

Xu Qing said a little embarrassedly: "In fact, I have only practiced knife skills with Master Abei, and have also learned an incomplete understanding of the use of mind. As for other aspects, Master Abei suggested that I learn from a better chef, that is, Master you."

Master Luo Tian sighed and said, "Abei is just too modest. Since she said so, well, I will pass on my unique skills to you, so that she won't accuse me of being stingy later."

"Thank you, Master!" Xu Qing was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

This is the special skill of a top chef who has been famous for many years, and it is something you can't ask for.

This is all thanks to Master Abei's face. Otherwise, Master Luo Tian would never have shown his true skills.

Master Luo Tian smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. You are Abei's disciple, so I am relieved. Moreover, you have an excellent character and a rare talent. It is not a waste of my ability if you inherit it. I am old, and I don't know how long I can live. I guess I will never meet someone like you again. It is better to hand this ability over to you than to take it to the grave."

Contrary to what Xu Qing expected, Master Luo Tian was willing to teach him initially out of respect for Master Abei, but what made him decide to show his true abilities was Xu Qing's performance in the Kurou incident.

Master Luo Tian has seen many talented chefs, and he has also seen many talented people who have gone astray.

The stronger and more talented a person is, the easier it is for them to make mistakes.

They can easily obtain wealth and glory that ordinary people will never be able to experience in their entire lives.

Strength always breeds ambition and desire.

Frankly speaking, Master Luo Tian had never seen anyone as talented as Xu Qing, not to mention that he had many legendary stories, each of which was jaw-dropping.

At such a young age, he has experienced so many things that ordinary people have never seen. What will his character be like? This is really unknown.

However, after seeing the conversation between Xu Qing and Ku Rou, Master Luo Tian felt much more relieved.

When Ku Rou talked about his ideals as if no one was around, what flashed in Xu Qing's eyes was not impatience, but understanding and envy.

I understand his persistence and envy his passion and ideals.

Afterwards, he spared no effort to help Ku Rou achieve her wish, even though this matter was of no benefit to Xu Qing at all.

Looking at Xu Qing, Master Luo Tian suddenly felt that it might be destiny for him to meet such a young man in his old age.

It was destined that his skills would have a suitable successor.
