Magic Chef Of Ice And Fire

MCIF Chapter 28

Chapter 28.1 – Staking the Dazzling Holy Brilliance Stone

The soft cloth made wearing the clothes very comfortable,  like they had been custom made for him.

“Nian Bing, is there anything that doesn’t fit?” Xue Jing’s voice was accompanied by the sound of footsteps. A red-clad figure appeared in the doorway of the room. Xue Jing could not help but turn pink when she saw Nian Bing, who had changed into his nice clothes. “Very handsome. I did say that these clothes would suit you. Golden hair and silver clothes, it’s too wonderful.”

Nian Bing forced a smile and said, “Jing’er, these clothes are pretty good, but they don’t seem like something a chef should be wearing. Did you want me to wear this to the competition?”

Xue Jing giggled, saying, “Is there some rule saying you can’t? I think that they’re very nice! In fact, let these clothes be a gift to you. Let’s go, we should go receive guests. Father is already in the main hall. ”

These two people returned to the main hall of the Pure Wind House, where everything was almost set up. Ming Yuan and Xue Ji immediately went to greet  Nian Bing when they saw him come. Xue Ji’s eyes sparkled, and he said, “Nian Bing, if I was thirty, forty years old, maybe I would be jealous of you. You’re really good looking!”

Nian Bing forced a smile and said, “Uncle, don’t tease me. I am a chef. Wearing stuff like this does not seem suited to making food.”

Xue Ji laughed and said, “Don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it. I think it looks very good. This time, I want to make Jin Hao from the Grand Pavilion completely admit defeat. Ai, Lord Marquis has come.”

Everyone’s gaze was directed towards the two people at the entrance.. While bowing in salute, Nian Bing looked out and saw that the two people were dressed in splendid clothing. The first person was a stranger, but Nian Bing recognized the man on the left. He was Luo Rou’s father, manager of the finances of Ice Snow City, the Earl Luo Hao. Lagging behind the person on the right by half a step, his fat face exuded a faint smiling expression. The person on the right looked to be about 40 years old and was very tall and  appeared majestic. Although he only wore simple dress clothes, he emitted an imperceptible air of dignity,  proof of his unordinary status.

Xue Ji and Ming Yuan immediately went to receive them. “Lord Marquis, welcome to the Pure Wind House. You really cast great splendor onto my humble shack!”

The Marquis smiled slightly and said, “Big Bro Xue, we are friends. There’s no need to be so polite. I’ve waited for this competition for so long. It seems that Chef Ming has some new invention.”

Xue Ji secretly smiled. He said, “Lord Marquis, I would never dare to fight a battle I’m not certain of. Since I dared to raise the challenge, I naturally have some measure of certainty. I would like to introduce a young talent to you. Nian Bing, come. This is the lord of our Ice Snow City, the Marquis Nuo Ya. Although the Marquis comes from a military background, he is also a connoisseur of fine food. Today, he is acting as the executive judge.”

Nian Bing stepped forward, and bowed lightly. He greeted Nuo Ya, “Commoner Nian Bing pays his respects to the Lord Marquis.”

Nuo Ya looked at Nian Bing, whose bearing was unusually handsome and elegant. His eyes couldn’t help but show a sliver of surprise. “Big Bro Xue! Which family has such a handsome young man as a son?”

Xue Ji laughed slightly and said, “Lord Marquis, please forgive me for my secrecy. You will know later. Please come in and sit.”

Although the marquis still had his suspicions, Xue Ji’s status was not just one of a simple restaurant owner. If he had to offend someone, he definitely would not offend Xue Ji. With the powers behind Xue Ji, one couldn’t afford to offend him, even if he had the status of a marquis. It would be more accurate to say, that except the imperial household, there were very few people who could afford to offend him. Following Xue Ji’s guidance, Marquis Nuo Ya and Earl Luo Hao sat behind a long table. Xue Ji sat alongside them. He said to Luo Hao, “Lord Earl, is Rou’er not coming with you today?”
