The Lady Chef Anecdote

Enjoy!PART 1a – Cross Over Bird

Wow! Red bricks and green tiles. Wow! A pool of wine and a forest of meat? Whose house is so rich and amazing that they could afford to use salted fish and salted meat as decorations for the entire yard?

The house is so great that the red and green are huddled together.

Lin No Bird [1] was staring at the scene in surprise.

"Daughter…" With this cry of "daughter", from the end of the courtyard, a fat woman came into sight. The powder on her face was thick as the wall, her figure was round like a ball, and each time and she stepped on the ground, the rubber of fat on her body will ripple like the water. The most amazing thing is that she has a red pomegranate flower on her head.

This is really a beauty from outer s.p.a.ce!

"Daughter, you have finally woke up!" She was panting heavily as she approached Lin No Bird.

"Oh, you were calling for me?" Lin No Bird was confused.

"No Bird, what happened to you? Did you become stupid when you woke up?" The fat women waved her silk handkerchief, and continued to harp.

"No Bird, you are not going to run away anymore?" She asked.

"Yi!!!"

"You, you have even prepared the ingredients you need." She smiled, and pointed at the plastic bag in Lin No Bird"s hand.

"Yi?"

"My good daughter, you finally agreed to help your mum, and partic.i.p.ate in the Lin Family Chef compet.i.tion!" She suddenly cried loudly and sobbed.

"Yi……"

Who will tell her what is happening here?

Of course, she knew who she is!

The Lin family have two treasures named Lin Have Bird and Lin No Bird.

This stupid name is given by her father. When Lin Have Bird was born, he was cooking a dish that used 100 birds as ingredients. In a flash, he immediately won the most outstanding chef award.

As a chef that used birds as an ingredient to become famous, nothing is more a.s.suring than the name of the ingredient that made him successful.

Therefore, he named his eldest child Lin Have Bird.

When it is time for Lin No Bird to be born, it happens that bird flu is rampant. To purchase some vegetables to make a vegetarian chicken dish, he had to walk all day and could not find any suitable ingredients. In anger, he named his daughter Lin No Bird.

No Bird, No Bird, what an awful name!

This horrible name accompanied her through her childhood into her adult years.

And she was plagued by this name until now.

“Oh mother [1], I have crossed over!" She took 4 hours to digest the information that was swamping into her brain. Then she finally recovered her wits.

"Daughter, crossed over? No no no! Even if you cross-dress, you also look good! See this green cloth? It is so thick and is a rare cloth." The fat lady looked at her, was very happy with her, and kept praising her.

"…." To be frank, she is a modern girl from the city. She had just returned home, opened the pressure cooker, and cook instant noodles.

In her hands, she was holding on to XX brand instant noodles and beauty X Lotus lipstick in her hands. She was intending to eat the instant noodles, have a nap, and play games. But unexpectedly, the pressure cooker exploded, and she mysteriously crossed over into this world.

These three products really killed someone!

"d.a.m.n it! I have crossed over! I have crossed over!" She held her hands high above her head and look around her in horror.

"Pai" a slap with a fat palm helped her regained her senses and calm down, "Daughter arh, you must remain calm! If you panic, and is not the top three in this chef compet.i.tion, you could not be an imperial chef!"

"Imperial chef?" She was so shocked!

In her heart, she was crying bucket-loads of tears. Are you kidding me? The ones that know how to cook are her father and her brother, Lin Have Bird. She, Lin No Bird, only knows how to cook instant noodle. How in the world did Heaven become so cruel, and make the wrong bird in the family crossover?

This is not fair! It is definitely not fair! 

"Have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the Lin Family cooking compet.i.tion. I heard that the judge is the head chef of the Imperial kitchen, and he is a fair and unbiased judge. Little Bird, your mother is counting on you!"

"I will do my best." She looked at the fat lady with dismay, and had a huge urge to bang her head against the wall.

This is the Jin Bi Dynasty. The Lin family that she crossed over into is the imperial chef family. In the emperor"s kitchen, out of 10 chefs, 9 of them are produced by her family.

You could almost say that the Imperial Kitchen is also the Lin"s family kitchen.

Because they were highly trusted by the emperor, there are fierce compet.i.tions within the Lin family for the honour of being an imperial chef. Each intake of new trainee chefs to the imperial kitchen is very strict.

All the Lin family members and their disciples must partic.i.p.ate in the Lin Family cooking compet.i.tion. Only the top three in this compet.i.tion have the opportunity to be considered for a trainee chef in the imperial kitchen.

It is totally coincidental that Lin No Bird is one of the people who have to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion.

The Lin No Bird in this world is even more embarra.s.sing. She is the daughter of the 20th concubine of the manager in the Lin family. It is rumoured that although she is young, she is highly skilled in cooking.

20th concubine is not very well loved. Therefore, the woman whose body she had crossed into would practice her cooking skills every day in hope of winning the Lin Family chef battle. In this way, she can make a name for herself and help secured her mother"s position in the family.

"What I am best at cooking?" Lin No Bird dejectedly asked, and pointed at herself. Looking at her mother in this world, she could tell that her mother had placed all her hopes on Lin No Bird.

"Little Bird, didn"t you used to know how to cook anything? As long as you have seen the dish before, you could cook it."

Oh my gosh! I have crossed over into a super chef"s body! Lin No Bird despaired. But right now, I do not know how to cook for the life of me!

"Little Bird, your mother is counting on you." Her mother, Tang Xin, continued to twist the handkerchief softly. Under the giant palm of her mother, the small handkerchief was rubbed into powder form and the bits of the handkerchief flew away.

"I will do my best…." Lin No Bird sighed.
