Chapter 2 - Peculiar Stone (2/2)

“Go away, don’t cause a disturbance here,” The waiter waved his hand impatiently

“I can really work, just let me into the kitchen to try”

The waiter asked in an unhappy voice “What can you do?”

Lin Ming s”

“What?” The waiter became stunned

Deboning is a biased line of work and not every restaurant would set up such a job This job requires the meat dresser to cut up the quarry or hunted ani its bones

A master level ood meat dresser could also cut up a cow, but would require a change of knife every year Soe their knives once a month In addition, the efficiency involved was low and they would need half a day to cut up a cow

As for Grand Clarity Pavilion, their ingredients are not cow meat but Ferocious Beasts meat The meat of Ferocious Beasts is delicious but their scales, skin, bones and tendons are exceptionally tough Ordinary people would have to struggle to great lengths just to cut out a small part of it Martial artsto lower the, someone who does not understand how the ether would not be able to do it Using pure strength alone in the cutting up process would cause it to lose its delicious taste

Deboning was how Lin Ming had first come into contact with the Martial Way Within his parents restaurant, he trained hi process every day for the past ten years

It was a very tiring job! Lin Ming had never considered hienius in the martial way All he could depend on was his own hard work, and continue training over and over again That was how hedown the knife, slash after slash within the kitchen

The waiter was unable to chase Lin Ming away and could only bring him over to the kitchen…

“Sister Lan, this little brother wants to apply work as a deboning worker”

“Deboning worker?” Within the Grand Clarity Pavilion kitchen, a beautiful woeous dress appraised Lin Ming Observing the plain clothes on his body and the backpack he was carrying which ee, she frowned She then spoke in a dissatisfiedin “What are you doing, bringing just anybody into the kitchen Dong Zi, give him some silver and send him away”

Obviously, this beautiful wo as a distressed child As for the rebuked waiter, his face was bitter Truthfully, he had tried to push Lin Ming out, but had discovered that Lin Ming’s legs seerown roots and was immovable

A youngaway However, at this hter He stared in confusion as Lin Ming had so

Before thesaid “I a for money Sister, it won’t be too late for you to drivemy craftsmanshi+p”

The beautiful wohtly surprised; it appeared that this little kid has so Zi and said “How useless, you cannot even handle a little kid Go to the storehouse and bring over a pig” After that, she turned to Lin Ming and said “If you can co hour (1 hour), then I will allow you to stay in Grand Clarity Pavilion”

Dong Zi knew that he had lost face and turned sha interrupted him “No need, I will do that one”

Lin Ming said as he pointed towards a Scaled Draconic Beast

The beautiful woman became surprised A Scaled Drconic Beast is a Level Two Ferocious Beast whose body is brih and could resist even nor it for three days and nights would produce a thick soup with delicious taste

For such a kind of Ferocious Beast, even a deboningit up This kid is crazy

“Are you joking? This Scaled Draconic Beast is worth over a hundred gold liangs How do you plan to pay us if you end up ruining it?” Dong Zi spoke out in discontent He was still unhappy at Lin Ming for taking away his knife

The beautiful wolance and snapped “If I let you ruin it, do you think you have what it takes to ruin it?”

Dong Zi suddenly found hi speechless The Scaled Draconic Beast is not the sas, cows or sheep Ordinary people would not be able to break its scales even with a knife Ruining it was not soe to accomplish

The wo and said “I will let you cut!”

Lin Ming nodded his head and picked the best boning knife in the kitchen He had only cut Scaled Draconic Beasts twice; both tiures in the Lin Fa that an average person could afford to buy

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ming carefully stroked the scales of the Scaled Draconic Beast, feeling the whereabouts of its veins This process took up the tiraram of his previous Scaled Draconic Beast, he confirmed it to be correct

While waiting, some people beca? Why aren’t you cutting?”

“Stop trying to be mysterious and just cut it”

It was only natural that these people would beco to be able to debone a Level Two Ferocious Beast, it could only appear to be a prank to them

Lin Ming turned a deaf ear to these questions He picked up the knife, his eyes beco process was the equivalent of a practice session

After having confiran He did not use an axe or a slaughtering blade; he only used the hard to wield boning knife

In the hands of Lin Ming, this ordinary knife turned into an exceptionally sharp weapon The knife descended and the Scaled Draconic Beast’s scales were cut apart!

Observing this occurrence, the person who had been asking questions immediately shut his th of at least three hundred jin (1814 kg) For the a Scaled Draconic Beast would normally require either axes or saws

The edge of the knife h it sh paper Everyone could only hear the sounds of “shua shua” before the Scaled Draconic Beast’s white muscles were revealed

Looking at how easily Lin Ming was cutting away, theZi rubbed his eyes He suspected that there was so apart a Scaled Draconic Beast?

Lin Ming racefully Occasionally, a few unavoidable tendons would interrupt his work When that happened, he would use brute strength to pull it out Thus, he ended up using about less than half a long hour to cut the Scaled Draconic Beast into pieces Beside the pieces of meat, rows of ribs were laid down in order These were the ths of these ribs were all consistent, showing al work

This scene caused everyone to beco had doneof a Scaled Draconic Beast is a huge project, requiring around five strong men to work in tandeer only has a slightly reddish face after co up a few more would not be a problem!

As it was already night, the Grand Clarity Pavilion was no longer that busy, allowing many of its kitchenplaced down the knife and asked “Can I work here now? My working hours, you need to provide food and accommodation for me”

The beautiful wo “Deal!”

Lin Ming’s condition was not loever, it orth it Judging by the speed Lin Ming had shown earlier,hours Most i very little loss in key ingredients

Thus, Lin Ming began working for Grand Clarity Pavilion The two long hours he spent there was not a loss because it was also a for tree trunks was a for was a for

On that very night, Lin Ming remained in the storehouse and cut apart three Level One Ferocious Beasts After having done so, his entire body was drenched in sweat and his ar sore He prepared to cut apart the last one before heading to his lodge to rest

For the last one, he chose another Level Two Ferocious Beast – Goldback Pangolin, this Ferocious Beast has teeth that could crush stones and could drill through a h it was tofu

Due to having consu had to exert a great deal of strength in order to cut open the Goldback Pangolin’s scaled abdoolin was to force himself to surpass his limits

After cutting open the scales, his work becaap between the olin abdo felt the knife being blocked It felt as though the knife had run into so hard

Bones? No, the central abdomen area should not have any bones

If that is not it, then could it be rocks? No, the Goldback Pangolin may occasionally s rocks, but those rocks would have been crushed to smithereens Even if it were not crushed to smithereens, the powerful acid within its sto rock could not possibly continue to exist inside, could it be…

Inner Core?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Ming became excited An Inner Core from a Level Two Ferocious Beast is a valuable ite a considerable amount of benefit to his body

Lin Ming slipped on a pair of gloves and carefully retrieved the hard ite became disappointed It was a square shaped object, which meant that it was not an Inner Core, because Inner Cores are all spherical in shape

It really does look like a stone, but there is so peculiar about this stone…

The grey coloured cube seemed to have been neatly cut, with precise corners In addition, the six surface areas of the cube were engraved with black coloured inscriptions, giving it a mysterious aura

Metal?

Lin Ming carefully observed it It did not seem to be metal, nor does it appear to be stone Perhaps it is a form of jade?
