The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 101 Hexagonal Template Initial Formation (Two in One)

Liu Shimeng is slaughtering a striped salmon.

Xia An handled a few lychee sturgeons.

Afterwards, Xia An asked Liu Shimeng to be responsible for cooking the fish soup. The girl had the ultimate seasoning and was responsible for this step alone, and the effect was even better than if he did it himself.

The next step is to pound the fish paste to make a large amount of "fish paste".

From the perspective of the young assistant Lu Jiaxin, this wave is full of elements. It not only highlights that Liu Shimeng, the little genius, has been conquered by Boss Xia and is working hard obediently, but also captures the main processes and scenes of "Fantasy Fish Noodles" in the short video.

So, around two o'clock in the afternoon.

A new short video.

Under Lu Jiaxin's supervision, worker Su Yan was asked to be responsible for editing and post-production, and it was done in this way.

Without having to wait for any complicated review process, the latest short video appeared in the work area of ​​Xia An’s official Douyin account.

And at the same time.

After the show yesterday, the official account has exceeded 10 million followers and fans.

To countless netizens who were watching Douyin, the message "The Douyin account you are following has new works" popped up immediately.

Then, even those netizens who didn't pay much attention to this message just swiped their phone screens.

Under the power of some big data and big algorithms, this new short video will also be played immediately.

Can be imagined.

The netizens who suddenly saw this short video at this moment were instantly filled with surprise.

The number of likes, replies, and collections of short videos soared rapidly.

The comment reply area was bustling with activity.

[An outstanding young representative of the Shu cuisine industry, one of the Shu tourism industry's publicity ambassadors, is he so quick to bow down to Boss Xia? ]

[Wow, it turns out that Xiao Shimeng's admiration for Boss Xia on the show yesterday was not a show effect or an act. How come the flowers in my house were picked away by someone...]

[Please say it again, whose flowers are these? ! ]

[I am more interested in the ingredients and process clips in this preview video. There is salmon and lychee sturgeon. The dishes that Boss Xia will sell at the stall tonight are about to be revealed! ]

[Fuck, I watched the live broadcast last night and saw Boss Xia finally serve this "Fantasy Fish Noodles" to great fanfare. I was drooling even in my dreams. No no no, luckily I'm in Jinguan City, and I'm going to kill my way through tonight's night market...]

Xia An has experienced the speed of Douyin's transmission many times.

After beating for a while, another basin full of fish paste was obtained.

Xia An stopped, looked for a towel to wipe his sweat, and glanced at his phone at the same time.

Beep!
The familiar news explosion situation.

Gao Shengqi: "(Thumbs up) The whole Jinguan City will be boiling tonight!"

Director Li: "Boss Xia, we have already coordinated with all parties. You can set up a stall at Chunxi Road Night Market tonight. Our brother units have already set up roadblocks for you in advance to leave a blank area."

Xia An was surprised to see the news.

He had seen the prosperity of Chunxi Road Night Market when he traveled around the country a few years ago.

In a word, if you want to witness the night market style of the "Shanghai City That Never Sleeps" on foot, you must start from Chunxi Road.

This is the Chunxi Road Night Market and business district, which has an authoritative and golden signboard status in Jinguan City.

Xia An replied to Director Li:
"Understood. I'll be there at six o'clock sharp."

Director Li replied immediately:
"Boss Xia, you don't have a food truck, right? I've already found a large food truck for stalls. After the equipment is checked, I'll have the driver drive it to the hotel entrance for you."

Xia An nodded secretly, feeling very comfortable.

Of course, from another perspective, this is the good sign of internal competition among cultural and tourism bureaus in various places. The arrangements are indeed meticulous, and they are afraid that Xia An, the "God of Wealth", will feel unhappy and there will be no next opportunity for cooperation.

There were many WeChat messages, so Xia An didn't click on them one by one, but just swiped the screen to browse them.

Lan Qingya: “!!”

Nakiri Managi: "I can't squeeze into the night market, and I still want to eat your fantasy fish noodles!"

Chalmers: "Boss Xia, I have to go to the night market of Shenzhou Food World tonight."

Shinomiya Kojiro: "The exact location?"

There are also those of Wei Xuelin, Chi Xiaobai and others.

Xia An was quite surprised. He clicked on a message and it turned out to be from "Shura" Saibashiro Ichiro.

Saiba Chengyilang: "The commander-in-chief watched the whole show and is very curious about your fantasy fish noodles. It is very likely that you will go to the Shenzhou Food World to eat and drink for free."

Xia An: ? ?

Ah this.

Mr. Nakiri Senzaemon is coming to Shenzhou?
He looked very strange.

Two granddaughters and a biological daughter.

Now it seems that the "Food Demon King" himself is coming in person.

"Goodbye, I can't entertain such a big guy."

That’s the end of the reply.

Xia An immediately posted a preview on his Moments:

【The stall location tonight is the Chunxi Road Night Market in Jinguancheng. 】

There was no announcement about what dishes would be sold.

Anyone who has watched the short video knows what dishes he will serve at the night market.

After sending the message, Xia An dropped his phone and checked the panel.

[Unused attribute points: 3]

[Cooking Experience: 46000]

Let’s look at the basic skills details.

[Basic skills: seasoning (perfect), knife skills (perfect), heat control (perfect), pastry (perfect), flipping the pot (minor success), plating (beginner's guide)]

He paused for a moment, then allocated all his cooking experience points to the plating.

Nearly 2 experience points were consumed.

The plating jumps 2 levels.

[Plate arrangement (beginner) → Plate arrangement (master)]

[Comment: People need clothes, and dishes need to be beautiful. You can easily create aesthetically pleasing shapes on the plate with ingredients. ]

Therefore, there are still over 20,000 experience points left.

Xia An is on the go.

I spent nearly 2 experience points to upgrade the pot.

[Turning pot (small success) → Turning pot (big success)]

[Comment: Any cooking utensils become light in your hands, and the food is cooked evenly with shaking. ]

"Now that we've finished the first episode, there's no need to rush to use your experience to level up the White Snake Chain."

Xia An said silently: "Now, my skills of flipping the pan and arranging the dishes have been upgraded to perfection, and my hexagonal template has been completed!"

Even, when necessary.

It's a competition of ultimate skill in heating.

Or when you are facing off against a strong enemy in a food battle and want to compete in the art of plating.

With the attribute points in the hands of strong kryptonians, it only takes a few seconds to upgrade the skills of flipping the pan or arranging the dish to perfection.

"Having extra attribute points means you have more room and more ease."

Xia An was in a good mood, with a refreshing smile on his face, and he continued to work hard for tonight's stall.

……

The time soon came to five o'clock in the afternoon.

A large red-painted bus dining truck has stopped at the side exit of the hotel.

Xia An made several trips back and forth, carrying several stainless steel pots filled with lychee and sturgeon soup to the dining car.

As for the minced fish, it has been mixed with flour and turned into a white and smooth dough. Each one is wrapped in plastic wrap and transported directly from the refrigerator in the hotel kitchen to the freezer inside the dining car.

Lu Jiaxin pointed at the dining car freezer and asked worker Su Yan to take a picture of this scene. Video material:
"My goodness, the freezer is full of dough that is rising."

"Diners at Chunxi Road Night Market are in luck tonight!"

Xia An looked at it and nodded.

He was aiming to prepare the soup base and dough to entertain a thousand people.

As for how long he would have to work to make a thousand bowls of noodles, Xia An had no idea. Anyway, he would try his best to make all the dough into handmade ramen to entertain diners.

At this time, Liu Shimeng brought Director Li to Xia An.

"Boss Xia, I can be of use tonight, but please give me your instructions." Director Li looked like he wanted to help in the kitchen and take part in the performance.

Xia An thought about it and knew that Director Li wanted to continue to increase his efforts and roll up his peers in various provinces and cities. Moreover, appearing on such a high-profile live broadcast of a night market stall showed that he was an excellent director in work and ability. It would be a waste if he didn't show his achievements.

"You are responsible for collecting money and delivering food." Xia An did not refuse and arranged.

"Okay, I'm your waiter, Boss Xia!"

Director Li responded with great joy and secretly sighed, "Look, this is the way of social interaction."

Liu Shimeng moved the last batch of dough into the freezer and finally closed the door.

Turning around, I couldn't control my excitement and said:
"Boss Xia, are we ready to set off?"

Xia An glanced at the time on his phone. It was almost 5:30 in the afternoon. The large bus catering truck drove over and set up the stall on the spot.

"Then let's go!"

None of them had a driver's license to drive a large truck, but fortunately Director Li had already considered this detail and arranged for a driver to be on standby.

"Rumble..."

The accelerator was turned on, and the large dining bus loaded with people slowly drove away from the hotel area, spewing exhaust gas.

in the carriage.

Liu Shimeng couldn't help taking a selfie with a bright smile and a classic scissors hand gesture, clearly showing the interior of the dining car and her own kitchen helper uniform.

Send the picture to the Liu family group.

Liu Shimeng: "(picture.jpg) Already on the move, follow Boss Xia to fight at Chunxi Road Night Market!"

Liu Bo: "Xiao Shimeng, can you help your uncle cook a little?"

Liu Heng: "Hey, you must be modest and calm, and learn from Boss Xia. If you can learn even a little bit of the secret of luminescence, then my Liu family will have a successor in the world!"

On the other hand, even though they had been to the stall with Xia An many times, Lu Jiaxin and Su Yan's faces were now flushed and their emotions were very high.

Lu Jiaxin urged Su Yan to quickly cut the footage of the stall scene into a new short video.

Meanwhile, in the carriage, he kept rubbing his hands excitedly and saying:
"Boss Xia, this is the second fantasy dish you sell at the night market stall. Your dish, Fantasy Fish Noodles, will be remembered by many people after tonight!"

"The more widely a story spreads and the more it is talked about by the public, doesn't it have the potential to become a new generation of classics?"

Xia An was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was nothing wrong.

The older generation has their own classics that are passed down from generation to generation.

And in modern times, why can't he become the creator of new classics?

"Then I need to let more people eat my fantasy dishes."

Xia An smiled and said, "Then the indelible memory of the food will remain in the hearts of the vast number of diners. As time goes by, it will naturally become a new generation of classics that will be praised."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shimeng gave a thumbs-up, her big eyes sparkling with admiration:

"That's the truth!"

"In the past, our ancestors traveled all over the country, leaving behind classic recipes and dishes."

"Now, Boss Xia, you have to conquer cities and night markets one by one and become a legend in people's minds!"

……

at the same time!

Wu Zhu and Xiang Shilin, accompanied by a tall mixed-race woman, took an online taxi and arrived near Chunxi Road Night Market.

The woman's aura was so strong that Wu Zhu didn't dare to say a word the entire way.

"Sister, according to the news from the foodie chat group half an hour ago, Boss Xia will probably set up a stall at this night market tonight."

Xiang Shilin's tone seemed cautious.

Although they are both descendants of Tai Chi cuisine.

But this circle also has strict barriers and is very particular about bloodline!
Wu Zhu's ancestor was an unknown Suzaku chef, so he, as his descendant, has no status to speak of.

Xiang Shilin's ancestor was the famous "Eight-Armed Nezha", an extremely powerful Suzaku chef, and a direct follower of the Phoenix Eight Immortals in Jinghua.

Therefore, Xiang Shilin is quite famous in the circle of descendants in North America.

And this mixed-race woman named Jing Nina.

She stands directly at the top of the contemporary Tai Chi cuisine world. The people she pays attention to and regards as her powerful rivals are naturally the leading talents of the other seven main branches of the "Eight Phoenix Immortals".

But Xiang Shilin didn't expect it.

Jing Nina came as soon as she said she would and landed directly in Jinguan City.

"Sister, you said you wanted to be a replacement contestant and participate in the second round of "The Chrysanthemum Downstairs Competition"..."

Hear the words.

This tall woman with perfect facial features and features is closer to Western people, with a faint smile on her lips:
"I asked someone, but the second replacement chef has already been chosen to be Totsuki graduate Shiomi Jun."

As he spoke, he changed the subject.

"But I have already secured a place in the third phase."

Wu Zhu and Xiang Shilin looked at each other.

After the first episode was broadcast, "The Chrysanthemum Goes Down the Hall Competition" has already taken the top spot in the Chinese food industry variety show.

You can imagine how difficult it is to squeeze in a contestant to the program team.

What’s more, he has the sensitive identity of being a descendant of Tai Chi cuisine!

Wu Zhu took a deep breath and thought, "Is this the resource for the descendants of the top Tai Chi cuisine world?"

"Even though they were driven away from China, several generations later, they still have a strong network of connections in China."

The three of them were walking aimlessly in Chunxi Road Night Market.

Sudden.

Next to the main road.

An area specially cordoned off and filled with roadblocks attracted the attention of the three people.

A little further away, at the main entrance to the night market, there were military and police armored vehicles parked.

There were also auxiliary police officers wearing reflective vests, and many of them were patrolling back and forth.

"Is today a holiday?" Wu Zhu was very perceptive and quickly took out his cell phone to check the calendar.

Xiang Shilin and Jing Nina looked at each other in confusion.

“It’s not a holiday!”

Wu Zhu's tone became excited and agitated:
"What an ordinary day!"

“But there is a public security arrangement of this standard!”

Ok?
After hearing what he said, Xiang Shilin and Jing Nina quickly came to their senses.

don't go.

The three of them sat down on the roadside flower bed in tacit understanding.

The military police glanced at them but did not drive them away.

Gradually, night falls.

The traffic-congested Chunxi Road area was in a semi-dark and semi-bright state.

Along the main street of the night market, some stalls that opened early lit up their lights.

And at the same time.

Such an ordinary day.

The night market street was flooded with a terrifying number of tourists, comparable to that on statutory holidays.

……

Soon, a large bus painted red came.

In Wu Zhu, Xiang Shilin, and Jing Nina.

There were also many passers-by and tourists nearby looking at him with confusion and curiosity.

Slowly stopped by the roadside.

A middle-aged man jumped out of the car and communicated with the nearby military and police, who then helped clear the roadblocks.

The bus continued to start and parked in the specially reserved position.

"It's Boss Xia!"

Suddenly, Wu Zhu saw the second man getting off the car and couldn't help but blurt out.

Wu Zhu immediately covered his mouth tightly, regretting that he could not control himself.

As he shouted.

The people on this street.

Boiling.
