The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World

So that’s why I’ve seen it when I was a child, no wonder.

I guess I was too young, and the memory isn’t very clear.

But even they can’t describe specifically what it looks like, so how could anyone help find it?

Luo Rang instinctively turned to look at Fu Yu.

Fu Yu stepped forward, asking softly, ”Since it’s a lamb bone that can be used as a toy, there should be more than one piece when playing, right?”

The sister looked at Fu Yu and nodded, ”I remember there were three pieces, or was it four?”

As she answered, fragments of memories from back then naturally flashed in her mind.

Fu Yu chose to examine them, and a black-and-white video focused on the vision of elders appeared before him.

A strong middle-aged man placed a big pot full of lamb soup on the dining table.

The children sitting around the table each had a big bowl in front of them, containing half a bowl of white rice.

The man ladled lamb soup to each child, who then scooped the soup into their rice by themselves.

Soon, the man started fishing out lamb meat from the soup, distributing large chunks to each child’s bowl.

Then the scene shifted.

The original wooden dining table had been replaced with a tempered glass table.

The adults were sitting around, and the table was a mess, piled with cleaned lamb bone joints and lamb leg bones.

After finishing the meat on the lamb leg, sucking up the soup, an older man picked up the small leg bones at that moment and started dismantling the joints.

He took them apart, then put them in his mouth to gnaw on, cleaning the lamb bone completely.

After gnawing, he rubbed and kneaded them, his hands getting greasy and he wiped them on his thighs, smearing mutton fat all over his pants...

The elder taught the children how to handle the bones.

Flattening his hand, two bones were placed across the gaps of his index, middle, and ring fingers, then tossed into the air, flipping the two still on the chair’s seat, and quickly catching the two falling bones.

Soon, the lamb bones transferred from the rough big hands to the small fair hands.

The small hands played with the bones for a while and then passed them back to the big hands.

The elder’s hand was like performing a magic trick, grasping them forwards, backwards, and even forming horizontal and vertical patterns with the few on the ground.

Probably because the memory was so fresh, this reminiscence was crystal clear and complete.

Even if, over the years, the two sisters had long forgotten the name of what they were playing with, the scene from back then was vivid in their minds.

And the elder’s face unwittingly displayed a gentle expression, as he was immersed in remembrance.

In the memory, the smooth lamb bone passed from the elder’s hand to her own, then to her sister, becoming warmer and smoother within their palms, bringing back that particularly nostalgic tactile sensation of childhood...

Fu Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Luo Rang, who was watching him, smiled slightly, and leaned in to whisper something.

It immediately left Luo Rang stupefied!

Luo Rang’s eyes widened, staring at Fu Yu in disbelief.

Shi Xueshuang, who was closest to them, noticed their expressions and was also very curious, not knowing what Fu Yu had whispered to Luo Rang.

It actually surprised Luo Rang so much.

Luo Rang couldn’t help but ask, ”Chef Fu, are you sure?”

Fu Yu nodded, ”Yes, I’m sure.”

Luo Rang, helpless, turned around to quietly instruct Shi Xueshuang, ”Go to the kitchen, and have them bring four pieces of lamb lower leg bone.”

Shi Xueshuang was taken aback: What?

They were actually going to serve a tray of lamb bones directly to the customers!

Shi Xueshuang had worked at Four Seas Banquet for so many years and encountered all kinds of customers, but had never seen anyone come here simply to find lamb bones.

Truly, the world is full of wonders.

And when Shi Xueshuang quickly went to the kitchen to retrieve the lamb lower leg bones and placed them on the table, she saw the eyes of the two customers light up instantly.

Shi Xueshuang was bewildered, were they really just looking for lamb bones?

But Luo Rang was utterly shocked, muttering to himself: Damn! It really is!

The twin sisters were caught off guard when they saw the four pieces of lamb leg bone on the tray and then showed expressions of delight.

”Yes, this is it!”

Luo Rang and Shi Xueshuang were stunned by what they witnessed!

Is this possible?

Can it actually work like this?

Didn’t they say that the lamb bone looked very nice and could be spun like a toy?

How does such a small, jagged leg bone look nice?

How is it spun like a toy?

Is it like spinning a pen?

Isn’t this a joke!

Yet these four pieces of lamb leg bone unexpectedly gained the customers’ approval.

Luo Rang’s expression was no longer maintainable.

Damn!

It really is!

Shi Xueshuang moved closer, asking in a voice only they could hear, ”Chef Luo, do we just pack up these leg bones and give them to them?”

Luo Rang was just about to speak when he saw Fu Yu approach the dining table.

Fu Yu asked, ”If you don’t mind, shall I help you disassemble them?”

The sisters naturally had no objections and even handed over a pair of unused disposable gloves.

Fu Yu deftly disassembled four pieces of lamb knuckle from the four segments of lower lamb leg bone.

The lamb lower leg bones that Shi Xueshuang brought from the kitchen had been directly scooped out from the pot where the soup base was being made.

The lamb leg bones were still covered with large chunks of lamb meat.

The knuckles disassembled by Fu Yu, still attached to tendons, somewhat revealed their original shape, but they needed to be further processed cleanly before being suitable for playing with.

However, without handy tools at the moment, Fu Yu showed the disassembled lamb knuckles to the sisters, confirming, ”Are these the four pieces of lamb bone you’re looking for?”

Seeing the lamb bones identical to those in their memory, the sisters were very happy, almost speaking in unison, ”Yes, that’s it!”

Fu Yu smiled and said, ”I’ll take them to the kitchen and clean them for you, and have the waiter bring them back to you shortly.”

The sisters gladly agreed.

Sensing the situation, Shi Xueshuang quickly stepped forward, picked up the tray holding the lamb bones, and followed Fu Yu out of the private room.

Once outside, Fu Yu quietly instructed Luo Rang, ”Just have the assistants clean these four lamb knuckles.”

Fu Yu was here today just to dine, and having helped with the issue, he had done more than enough.

Luo Rang quickly agreed, offering to escort Fu Yu back to his private room.

But Fu Yu declined, ”No need, I know the way, you go ahead, my brother is waiting for me, I won’t go with you to the kitchen.”

After Fu Yu left, Luo Rang glanced at the tray of lamb knuckles and casually said, ”So this is what they were looking for!”

Shi Xueshuang was surprised, looking at Luo Rang, ”Chef Luo, you knew about this thing too?”

These are just four ordinary lamb bones, aren’t they?

They’re quite distinctive, but who would think to play with these?

Luo Rang explained, ”I haven’t played with them myself, but I’ve heard others mention that the older generation used to make toys from lamb knuckles to entertain kids in the family. But around here it’s called ’Galahad,’ and it’s no surprise you don’t know it, even I’ve only heard about it.”
