"Zhou Yan..." Wang Han reached out and pulled Zhou Yan, "There is a beauty! Look, there is a beauty!"
However, Zhou Yan, who was concentrating on selecting ingredients, had no intention of looking at the beauty: "Sister Wang, your taste is a bit special!"
After Zhou Yan finished selecting the ingredients, he turned around and found Wang Han's face full of joking regret: "The short-haired beauty over there just now has been staring at you!"
"Oh!"
Although Zhou Yan felt that he had mastered the true meaning of cooking, he still spent nearly a thousand yuan to buy a small bag of Hericium and Bamboo fungus. Then he went to the supermarket and bought a piece of Jinhua worth ten old people's heads.
Ham and some other "cheap" wild ingredients.
Although Zhou Yan felt that the combination of delicacies from the mountains and seas was a bit tacky, since he had promised Lao Hu, he couldn't break his promise and was entrusted with loyalty.
After returning to the hotel, Zhou Yan began to make some dry information, while Liu Chuang held a small notebook and listened while taking notes.
There is basically no secret to soaking dry hair, it all depends on experience and feel.
However, the young apprentice Liu Chuang believes that "a good memory is worse than a bad writing", and he will write down Zhou Yan's "small class" whenever he encounters it.
Lao Hu's "privately customized" meal does not require a lot of ingredients in total, but there are many types. When soaking, each type has to be processed separately.
After finishing this order, Zhou Yan still had to prepare the ingredients for the evening...
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Ji Bistro closed.
After counting the day's income, Zhou Yan sent Wang Han back to the community where he rented a house, and then took the No. 11 bus back and forth.
On the way back to the construction site, Zhou Yan clicked on his property panel as usual...
"What the hell?"
The experience bar for level 5 to 6 of cooking skills was only 61.23% in the morning. According to the normal progress, it would progress by 67% at most in one day, but the progress bar in front of me was actually
It suddenly reached 81%?
What the hell is going on?
After carefully recalling the activities related to cooking throughout the day, Zhou Yan finally settled on an answer: an epiphany while purchasing ingredients in the afternoon!
"That's the only way it can be!"
The next day, Zhou Yan got up early and rushed to the hotel. After purchasing ingredients for the day on a second-hand three-wheeler, he began to prepare Lao Hu's soup-filled yellow croaker.
The reason why yellow croaker in soup has become a classic is mainly due to two factors: the delicious yellow croaker and the rich soup.
In Zhou Yan's view, the yellow croaker in soup can be divided into two dishes, braised large yellow croaker and Buddha Jumping Over the Wall: because the soup in this dish is basically a simplified version of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.
For many chefs, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a threshold and a wall. But for those who have cooked this dish, the most difficult thing about Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is that the process is too complicated: such as abalone, scallops, and scallops.
, ingredients such as tendons need to be cooked separately and then simmered over low heat.
Even though Zhou Yan is an experienced driver, making soup-filled yellow croaker soup still takes a long time: in addition to the little Buddha jumping over the wall, he also needs to greet other customers.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yan officially started preparations.
Yellow croaker in soup is the finale, so you only need to prepare the ingredients in advance.
For the other dishes, since Old Hu said that he would try his best to use delicacies from the mountains and seas, Zhou Yan was not polite and planned to use all the expensive ingredients he bought.
The Hericium is the authentic Northeast wild Hericium, and the Bear's paw is on the list of protected animals, so Zhou Yan can only use taro to fool him.
However, with the incredible secret of spice inequality obtained by the little master from the spice geek Mila, even if Zhou Yan used taro, customers would not be able to taste it.
The local specialty dish of braised sea cucumbers with green onions is naturally on the table, the fish fillet with winter bamboo shoots combines delicacies from the mountains and rivers, and the meat and vegetables stuffed with bamboo fungus are not taboo.
With all the delicacies from the mountains and seas available, the ones flying in the sky are indispensable - three sets of ducks: domestic ducks, wild ducks, and pigeons. Of course, for the semi-wild wild duck, Zhou Yan sprinkled two old people's heads in the specialty supermarket.<
/p>
The ones that can fly are on the table, and the ones that can run on the ground are also indispensable. They are "gifts from nature", and the honey fire recipe on the tip of the tongue is quite suitable.
What's left is like marinated money tripe, crystal meat, white chopped chicken, Luohan Shangsu and Wensi tofu. For Zhou Yan, it can only be regarded as so-so...
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Hu and the guests he brought arrived.
Originally, Lao Hu was still a little nervous, fearing that customers would misunderstand, and wanted to explain a few more words, but as soon as the customers walked in, they were full of praise for the decoration of the shop.
Lao Hu's heart was temporarily put back in his stomach, but he was soon brought up again: He had never heard of several dishes on the menu Wang Han gave him...
However, when the four guests saw the customized menu, their eyes flashed with anticipation.
Soon these expectations turned into surprises...
"The braised goose is exactly the same as what I had in Guangdong, and the crystal meat is also good!"
After that, the comments of these four people disappeared: Two hands are not enough, and there is only one mouth. How can I live idle...
Lao Hu's mouth never stopped talking at this table, while at the tables next to him, his eyes were a little crooked after a meal...
"Waiter, let me ask about the dishes on their table..."
Before Liu Ning could answer the food, several old customers on the side spoke: "If you spend more than twenty times in the store, you can enjoy private customization service. You can order whatever you want, provided you can get it."
Ingredients..."
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Lao Hu followed the customer with satisfaction and left the shop. Not long after, he came back and left fifty old heads for Zhou Yan!
"Brother Zhou, thank you!"
Five thousand yuan is naturally a drop in the bucket for the wealthy Zhou Yan, and at the moment, Zhou Yan’s main focus is on gaining experience in cooking.
After experiencing the skyrocketing experience value the day before, Zhou Yan had a different idea and wanted to gain extra experience points by "drinking chicken soup". However, the extra "income" was not as much as that gained by practicing swordsmanship.
.Moreover, the last ten percent of experience points are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain...
Then we can only use time to pile up.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off. In mid-July, when the Zhou family restaurant was open for nearly half a month, Zhou Yan finally upgraded to lv6.
After watching the progress bar fill up to 100%, golden light flashed and level 6 popped up, Zhou Yan was overjoyed.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the first formal master title in life. A special reward is given as an encouragement.
Reward 1, system points.
Reward two, cash reward. 1 yuan..."
Looking at the familiar figure of the cash reward, Zhou Yan felt like crying without tears. This was the balance of his previous life, and it was also his biggest regret: After death, there is still so much money that has not been spent!
Originally Zhouyan could have more, but the others have become second-hand houses in the suburbs of Beiwu.
Just when Zhou Yan was filled with emotion, the system suddenly explained: "The cash reward needs to be received by the host through a special method..."
When Zhou Yan saw the way to receive the prize, he almost cursed: The result of the cash prize is the result of the fourteen games of the latest football lottery, and there is no suspense.
"I'll just say..."
Before Zhou Yan could complain, the system blocked his mouth.
"In view of the fact that the host has obtained the official master title, we hereby release an advanced mission: Master Medal.
The function of the Master Badge: permanent solidification of skills and related techniques; built-in peer shock effect, temperament bonus...
Medal of Master Chef: The host needs to randomly select ten customers and make dishes that satisfy them (Special reminder: the dishes need to be specified by the customers.)
Mission reward one: tool making experience.
Mission Reward 2: The whereabouts of a certain batch of Ruifan and Malaysian knife steel...
Penalty for mission failure: None."
That night, Zhou Yan couldn't sleep because he was too excited...
