The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 22: Add some more upgrades, perfect basic knife skills

Lu Jiaxin listened to the heated discussions of the crowd and then looked back at her own live broadcast room.

The thick layer of barrage is also a similar wave of questioning.

She couldn't help but narrow her beautiful eyes and said:
"Who said ice sculptures can't be directly connected to food?"

"you……"

"Have you ever heard of two lost ancient cookbooks?"

"Let me give you an introduction. One of the ancient recipes is about a giant ice dragon. It was made by Master Zhou Yu, a famous chef at Yangquan Restaurant in Guangzhou, in memory of his deceased wife. Does anyone remember this story? An ancient recipe?"

Hearing this, Xia An couldn't help but glance at the female anchor in surprise.

Perhaps knowing the famous Master Zhou Yu of Yangquan Restaurant is nothing. After all, Master Zhou Yu is the father-in-law of the last chef god Liu Maoxing, and Liu Maoxing married his daughter Zhou Meili.

However, it is not easy to be able to directly call out Master Zhou Yu’s representative recipes and tell the stories behind the recipes.

Hearing Lu Jiaxin’s loud words.

Among the onlookers, some pretended to understand, while others gave thumbs up and praised.

"Oh, yes, yes, the famous chef Zhou Yu from Yangquan Restaurant has such a representative ice sculpture dish!"

"This young lady knows a lot. You can tell at a glance that she is an expert in the food industry."

"So, here's the question, little sister, what's the name of the other lost paleo cookbook?"

In Lu Jiaxin’s live broadcast room, the comments were filled with flattery.

Fans naturally have no doubt about Lu Jiaxin's professionalism.

Compared with other hosts' glamorous vases, Lu Jiaxin, the food-loving female anchor who visits restaurants, can always break down the details and techniques while enjoying delicious food and tell them to her fans.

I saw a lot of comments and was curious about the ancient recipes of another ice sculpture keyword.

Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but smile:
"Actually, another ice sculpture recipe is also related to Master Zhou Yu."

"If Master Zhou Yu hadn't encountered a series of accidents, he would have faced off against Seven-Star Blade Ryan in the cooking competition of "The Knife Skill Showdown Before the Gods." "

"The subsequent story is well-known and familiar to everyone. The cooking god Liu Maoxing competed on behalf of his master, won the cooking competition, and became the heir to the legendary kitchen utensil Yongling Knife."

Hear this.

Even Sun Qidong, a fitness coach, vaguely remembered something, but he couldn't name the ancient recipe for a while.

"Hey, what's it called?!"

Sun Qidong frowned tightly.

"'Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Mountain'."

A calm voice said softly.

It should have been a sound drowned out by the noisy atmosphere of the night market.

Sun Qidong heard it very clearly.

Instantly, eyes widened:
"Yes, yes! It's called "Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Mountain"!"

Lu Jiaxin looked at Xia An in astonishment as he spoke out the famous ancient recipe:
"Boss Xia, you are quite knowledgeable..."

The words of the female anchor.

But suddenly it got stuck!
She looked like she had seen a ghost story.

The expression on her pretty face collapsed.

because!

Xia An turned around and took a small portable refrigerator next to the electric tricycle.

He opened the cabinet door and pulled out an ice knife that was filled with cold air.

“He chipped away at the iceberg.”

"And this ice blade, damn..."

Lu Jiaxin felt like she was shot in the heart by an arrow.

People are almost suffocating.

After realizing that this stall owner, Mr. Xia, who runs a night market stall, was probably going to prepare some delicious food.

Her head was buzzing and she was in a daze.

Only one thought remains:
"How dare he?!"

Yes, let’s not talk about why.

A small night market stall owner who is unknown in the food world.

The ancient recipes that were once lost have reappeared in the bustling night market streets.

How should those top bosses in the food industry, who spend all day holding the cooking notes of their predecessors and racking their brains to study them, feel ashamed and what should they think?

……

The ice skates were specially made by Xia An when he got up in the afternoon.

Since there is no unmelting ice soul, make the [Beichen Sirius Blade].

It's not difficult to make a disposable ice skate yourself.

This can be regarded as Xia An's attempt to reproduce the recipe of "Fresh Sea Bream Mountain with Ice".

The degree of reproducibility and completeness can be further improved.

This shows that his special ice blades are effective.

On the contrary, if the reproducibility/completion of the dishes decreases, then the special ice skates are useless. Xia An opened the character panel.

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

He did not forget that when the reproduction/completion of the recipe of the Fierce Ice Sea Bream Mountain reached 50%.

Another attribute point and 1 cooking experience points were rewarded.

[Knife Skills (Minor): 0/2 exp]

Skillful.

2 points of cooking experience are just enough to upgrade your knife skills from the minor level to the next level [major level].

"Let's add some first."

Xia An knows that basic knife skills are the source of all knife skills.

If you ignore the basic knife skills and just focus on upgrading [Arhat Crystal Slash], it will inevitably lead to an unstable foundation.

The whole person feels erratic.

Xia An has long-term plans for the development of his culinary skills.

[Arhat Crystal Cut] is merely a special skill for cutting sashimi, especially for sashimi fresh vegetables.

There are also unique knife skills such as [Bull and Green Dragon Slash], [Seven Stars Breaking Army Swift Cut], etc.

Master the basic knife skills.

It will definitely greatly help him master these skills easily!

[Knife skills (minor skill) → Knife skills (great skill)]

[Knife Skills (Mastery): 0/10 exp]

After the refresh changes, the basic knife skills need to continue to upgrade to the next level [Perfection], which requires the required culinary experience points.

Xia An's eyebrows twitched:
"The experience points required for the next level have increased fivefold? A full 10 experience points?"

Forget it.

This is the time to spend more attribute points and use plug-ins to add points!
Without hesitation, Xia An allocated the only remaining attribute point in his hand to basic knife skills.

[Knife skills (great accomplishment) → Knife skills (perfection)]

[Evaluation: Every move is smooth and natural, and your knife skills are flawless. ]

"Comfortable."

Xia An said secretly.

"The basic knife skills have reached [Perfection], which is already one of the threshold conditions for becoming a nine-star chef!"

Add the points.

Xia An's confidence increased, and the eagerness in his eyes became even stronger.

I bent down and unlocked the food storage box with a click.

Take out the first piece of [lobster meat] weighing 20 kilograms.

Whole fish, uncut.

When thrown onto the white plastic chopping board of the electric tricycle, it made a dull "bang" sound.
The fingertips gently brushed the fish skin that had not yet been peeled off.

The ice knife in Xia An's hand pierced deeply with a "hiss" sound, emitting smoke. Then, it moved very smoothly, lightly, smoothly and naturally, cutting out an entire piece of fish skin from beginning to end.

Not far away, I saw this scene.

Beijo Miyoko held Lan Xiaoxi's hand tightly and whispered to herself:

"Master, are you going to start?"

Her eyes were full of anticipation, and she felt both nervous and excited.

Because, Hojo Midori knew that if such amazing knife skills were performed in such a public place at the night market.

After tonight!

How those short videos capturing amazing knife skills would go viral and create a sensation in the Chinese food world.

"Sister Miyoko, you're scratching me!"

Xiaoxi, who was in pain from being grabbed, looked pitiful and spoke with tears in her big eyes.

"Oh, sorry." Hojo Miyoko quickly apologized.

……

Lu Jiaxin saw Xia An up close and cut off the entire piece of fish skin with one smooth motion.

Question marks started to appear on her forehead again:
???

What's going on?

This was not the modern Chinese food world she knew, the one where the chef god had long since left the stage!
Is the water so deep that it contains so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers?
A small night market stall, a street stall that most famous chefs disdain to visit.

A stall owner with terrible knife skills suddenly appeared?

That's right!

Lu Jiaxin could confirm it at a glance.

Boss Xia's knife skills are in no way inferior to her brother, the nine-star chef.
