The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 220 Ultimate Edition Recipe (5K)

[Goal ③ is being submitted... Host performance is being evaluated... Upgrade rewards are being given]

[List details as follows…]

Thus, the details of the list, which had been upgraded twice, appeared in front of Xia An.

At the first sight, his heartbeat quickened slightly.

"Option ①: "Amber Murphy's Century Soup Recipe" [First Edition] → "Amber Murphy's Century Soup Recipe" [Ultimate Edition]"

"Option 4: Gourmet Cell Sequence 3 [Universal] → Gourmet Cell Sequence [Universal]"

"Option ③: [Dark Gold (Legendary) Treasure Box] *2"

Advanced recipes?

Or Amber Murphy's Century Soup recipe?

In fact, after the food battle ended two days ago, Xia An went to see Amber Murphy to taste her personal version of the century soup during the break of the "Golden Soup Crab".

The quality was astonishingly high, even better than the Pseudo-Lin's answer-level dishes. If he hadn't served the glowing dishes, he really wouldn't have won the victory.

Therefore, Amber Murphy's Century Soup Recipe is, strictly speaking, of quasi-Zhenlin grade!

"The first edition of the recipes interpreted by Amber Murphy are all quasi-True Lin, so the 'Ultimate' edition that is further deduced and improved by the panel is probably far superior to the general True Lin recipes?"

Xia An admitted that he was moved.

He glanced at options ② and ③…

To be honest, the content and rewards for completing the goal of the Feast in the Land of Demons have not changed at all.

Regarding option ①, it has changed from [Ultimate Knife Skills] to the current recipe advancement.

of course!

The Dark Gold Legendary Treasure Chest means that if you are lucky enough, you may get very high-level ingredients.

But Xia An felt that he had already used up all his luck by drawing Amber Murphy's [Defying Fate] pseudo-gold-frame talent, so he shouldn't force himself to draw cards now.

Besides, Xia An thought that he could gain more from the ultimate edition recipe.

For example, Amber Murphy’s personal interpretation and understanding of “Soup of the Century” can be taken and used for my own purposes…

Even, by following the route of perfection of the Kitchen God Panel, he can not only surpass the creator easily, but also absorb the true ideas and essence therein!
"It's option ①!"

Xia An no longer hesitated.

……

[Recipe: Amber Murphy's Century Soup (100%)]

[Grade: Fake Kirin (First Edition) → King's True Kirin (Ultimate Edition)]

[Proficiency: Beginner]

[Recipe Reproduction/Completion: 0%]

……

The color of the picture frame and text of the Weilin recipe is a light gold.

But when Xia An locked option ① reward.

In the recipe information interface, the gold color gradually deepens and becomes thicker.

It’s a pity that the gold color remained at the bright color and no longer continued to change into [Dark Gold].

Xia An thought it was a pity: "If we deepen it any further, we will be able to match the Dragon Domain of Chef Long!"

At this moment——

Strange and obscure recipe information fills my mind.

First version ingredients: pelican broth, silk bird skeleton, cartilaginous cabbage, Andre's swordfish bones, bean tree vines.

The ultimate version of ingredients adds [air water] and [Morse Oil] to the original version.

Xia An sorted out the food knowledge in his mind:

"Air water, capture level 68. It does not have any combat power to pose a capture threat to the cook, but because the level of its origin is very high, it is judged to be this level."

“…The natural and smooth taste ranks among the top 5 ingredients? It feels like air when you drink it, with an incomparable refreshing feeling. Because of its extremely transparent pure water quality, it is regarded as a treasure by the top chefs in the gourmet world.”

"Morse oil...hiss, 80 capture levels?"

Xia An couldn't help but open his eyes and rub his throbbing temples in his seat.

"Natural oils that provide habitat for the 'glittering silk-foot fish'?"

"It has a fragrance that cannot be matched by peanut oil, a fresh aroma that cannot be matched by corn oil, a sweet aroma that cannot be matched by sunflower oil, a smoothness that cannot be matched by soybean oil, and a deep richness that cannot be matched by sesame oil..."

Good guy!
It is said that the flour made from [golden wheat] is the [comprehensive] raw material that absorbs the flavor of all noodles in the world.

And in Xia An's opinion, this [Morse Oil] is absolutely perfect. It can be called a dreamy "full oil" and a kaleidoscope of oils and fats!
If he could understand the first version of the cooking technique,

But when it came to the ultimate versions of the two ingredients, [Air Water] and [Morse Oil], Xia An was completely at a loss. He always felt that the techniques and knowledge points in his mind were separated by a thick fog, and he could not comprehend them, let alone understand them thoroughly.

"Is there a wall?"

Xia An thought helplessly, "It seems that no matter how hard I, the pseudo-Lin, try, I can't get a passing score for this ultimate recipe."

but…

He added secretly in his heart.

Even if it is an unsatisfactory ultimate version, its realm and value are enough to crush Amber Murphy's first version of the dish.

In other words, it is impossible not to make the ultimate version and then go back to cook the first version.

Toot——

Just at this moment, a new message popped up on the phone.

[Amber: Hello, are you back in Shenzhou? ]

Xia An's face was strange. Just when the chef's panel optimized other people's recipes to the extreme, the real owner came...

As friends, they were Luo Wen and An Bo, brother and sister, who added each other under the pretext of transmitting information about divine ingredients.

【Xia An: On the flight. 】

[Amber: Two days ago, you told the female disciples at the reception between Moon and Sky that Century Soup should not be like that. I heard it...]

[Xia An: I just said it casually, just treat it as a story.]

[Amber: Is the real century soup extremely transparent and as clear as water? When it is boiled into a dish, will the aurora appear in the sky? After the diners drink it, will their faces be filled with satisfaction and happiness? ]

【Xia An: ……】

[Amber: Don't deny it so quickly. I have found out that the first item of the food war bet, 30% of the parsed content of the ancient regeneration teacher's "Contract Recipe", was provided by you yourself, not by Totsuki or Sun. Since you have this kind of old knowledge of the food world, it is not surprising that you have some ancient stone tablets and recipe fragments that record the century soup...]

? ?
Xia An's mouth twitched slightly, and his fingers typed on the virtual keyboard, but deleted it after typing:

"Forget it, why should I explain it so clearly!"

He really doesn't have any ancient stone tablet in his hand.

The reason I knew about the existence of the stone tablet was that I went to the treasure houses of the Sun family and the Nakiri family and gained more knowledge with the help of the "data eye".

But Xia An's silence does not mean that Amber Murphy will bring up this topic.

[Amber: After this food battle, I realized that my interpretation of the Century Soup recipe was ridiculous. Perhaps the judges were right. It should not be called Century Soup, but should have a new name.]

[Let’s get back to the topic——]

[If you can help me further optimize and perfect my soup recipes, you can set any conditions! ]

[I know very well that this soup recipe is an important opportunity for me to break the false and forge the true path! ]

Xia An wanted to reply, but Meng Yulu changed seats with Xiaolin Longdan and sat next to him:
"What are you going to do with the winnings from the 'food wars betting'?"

Hearing this, Xia An did not hide his plan:
"I will continue to inlay the third piece of the Greedy Wolf Pot fragment I won back into the replica to enhance its magical power."

"As for the ancient stone tablet that records the fragments of the 'Century Soup', if you are interested, I can make a copy."

Meng Yulu nodded and smiled:

"Although it is just a fragment of Century Soup, it is very valuable. In particular, if the content above has not been included in the Shenzhou Association, you will receive a considerable amount of feedback if you submit it."

Xia An nodded: "Then I'll trouble Sister Meng to make the trip for me."

"Oh, right! How much do you know about the 'swarm' cell sequence and the 'phagocytic' cell sequence, Sister Meng?"

Meng Yulu's expression turned serious:
"These are two very special sequences, considered to be exclusive to the Gourmet Club and Neo Food Utopia."

"Let's talk about the Zerg sequence first. According to the tracing, researchers from the Shenzhou Association found that the first generation of cells in this sequence are most likely not natural life, but artificial life spliced ​​together by artificial gene editing and cultivation!"

Xia An was not surprised.

Although this food world and this food party are very different from the original food prisoner, the tone and framework are the same.

Therefore, even if this food club only possesses one or two percent of the technological power of the behemoth in the original book, it is still amazing enough.

Meng Yulu continued:

"The swarm sequence relies on the self-evolution and proliferation ability of cells to transform itself and the human body into a breeding 'insect nest'!"

"Sequence 4 Zerg warriors can already breed dozens of high-level Zerg species, such as explosive Zergs, cutting Zergs, and infiltrating Zergs..."

Holding grass?

Join the game and feed the insect swarm?

Xia An suffered from severe cold.

But he also knew very well that the secret organization of the Gourmet Society was based on mechanical technology and genetic modification, and ethics and taboos did not exist at all. "What about the Devouring Sequence of Neo's Food Utopia?"

Meng Yulu said in a serious tone:
"The relationship between Totsuki and Neo Food Utopia is definitely very deep."

"Because the phagocyte technology is most likely based on 'Neo'! It is not the so-called 'original jellyfish' that is advertised to the outside world!"

"It comes from 'Neo' which is as famous as 'God'... and Neo's cellular ability is reflected in the engulfment and absorption of living things!"

Xia An felt a little scalp-tingling, this was beyond his understanding of the secret organization "Neo Food Utopia" based on the original novel about food prisoners.

How can it be?

How did this utopia find [Neo] and successfully control and study it?

You should know that [Neo] is actually a black cell demon living in the body of the food god Acacia, and has the ability to devour everything, including matter, energy and even food!
It represents the endless desire for devouring!
As far as Xia An knows.

In the original novel of The Prisoner Eater, no one can control the black devil [Neo] except the god of food Acacia.

Even Acacia was gradually influenced by the appetite demon...

Therefore, Xia An guessed that this utopia had at most obtained a slice of [Neo], and it was not even a slice of the original body, but a slice of a separated derivative.

In short, he must not be alive and kicking, otherwise the dragon chef from the reinforced company would have to kneel down when he saw him.

But in any case, the Devouring Sequence can be developed based on this research, which shows that this utopia may be the only giant in the current food industry. What the world sees and hears is just the tip of the iceberg...

"[Phagocytosis] Sequence 4 Cellular Biotechnology is actually a pure transparent pill."

Xia An didn't dare to think about how valuable this pill was.

Totsuki, or rather Nakiri Senzaemon, after the end of the Food Wars, waved his hand and gave him the two bets: the cell biotechnology pill and the seedling of the [Shiny Fish].

Meng Yulu stared at him deeply:
"Because food battles and bets are public, after you return to your country, many people will come to you and try to buy swarm cell injections and phagocyte pills."

"Including only 50 grams of divine ingredients! Even the top-level Zhenlin will be unable to resist looking for you!"

Xia An smiled, but was not afraid at all.

Forced buying and selling?

Then we need to ask the three demon kings living in his body's [Demon Ledger] whether they agree or not.

That's right, Xia An could feel his connection with the [Monster Ledger]. In other words, as soon as he opened the gate with a thought, the three demon kings would rush out and usher in a new Heian era and a new Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

"It's best not to bother me."

Xia An opened the God of Cooking panel and focused on checking the [Life Menu] information after the end of this trip to Neon.

……

【Xia An's Life Menu】

【Appetizer: None】

[Soup: "Golden Soup with Hibiscus Crab" (level 46 ruby ​​crab, level 48 ten-yolked egg, level 34 marshmallow pumpkin)]

【Fish: None】

[Meat: "Grilled Crocodile Meat" (Level 10 Kaira Giant Crocodile Meat)]

[Main dish: "White Snow Catfish Noodles" (level 30 white snow catfish), "Palace Cat Rice" (level 39 flying squid, level 50 blissful rice, level 55 alien dragon beast)]

【Salad: None】

【Dessert: None】

[Drink: "Gin Tide of Dionysus Whale" (Level 33 Dionysus Whale)]

……

what.

Xia An's eyes twitched slightly as he discovered a recipe for the answer that had yet to be assigned and was called "Crispy Ruby Crab Legs".

“I don’t know how to classify the panel into fish, meat or main dishes?”

"Although the ruby ​​crab is a land crab and lives in mines and lava areas, I'm asking you if it's a fresh ingredient?"

"Similarly, crabs and pigs can be meat, but my ruby ​​crab is not? Let's not talk about the main course, anything can be stuffed into this basket."

Move it wherever it is needed.

Xia An simply threw the recipe for "Crispy Ruby Crab Legs" into the fish section.

This way, this menu column will never be blank.

"Comfortable!"

"On my life menu, there are only three empty columns: appetizer, salad and dessert!"

……

Night, Yangcheng Airport.

As the itinerary was kept relatively confidential, there was no large-scale fan group waiting to pick them up at the terminal.

However, Lu Jiaxin could not withstand the pressure from cultural and tourism organizations in various places. After discussing with Xia An, she could only "leak" the itinerary to the cultural and tourism managers.

Therefore, at this moment, the people waiting at the airport to pick up the guests were not ordinary people or fans.

Undercurrents are surging, and a strange atmosphere is brewing among cultural and tourism teams from all over the country.

Director Li, an old acquaintance of the Shu Culture and Tourism Bureau, brought the gold medal director Gao Shengqi over to wait for someone.

It is worth mentioning that the final of "The Juxialou Competition" has ended. Now Director Li, Gao Shengqi and the Liu family of Shu are discussing and planning a new program.

Gao Shengqi said with a smile:
"Director Li, there are quite a few cultural and tourism groups that have heard the news and are taking action. It is highly likely that our new cooperation with Boss Xia will not be able to be concluded."

Director Li was extremely anxious.

The Shu sports events and Boss Xia’s night market stall activities have brought a huge amount of traffic to the city’s cultural and tourism industry.

Moreover, the cultural and tourism economies of various parts of China are now highly involutionary, with each competing against the other. The fighting is fierce. Which company or place would not want to hold Boss Xia's human-shaped cornucopia in its hands and monopolize it?
"Hey, isn't this Director Li from Shudi Culture and Tourism? Nice to meet you."

There are also provincial and municipal cultural and tourism groups that continue to come to this terminal hall.

Hearing the greeting, Director Li looked up and thought to himself that a strong enemy had arrived.

It turned out to be a cultural and tourism group in Xi’an, the ancient capital of Guanzhong during the Six Dynasties!
"Director Zhang, long time no see." Director Li said with a fake smile, "We are going to snatch someone again this time."

Director Zhang of Xi'an Tourism Bureau said directly:
"This time is different. What kind of huge traffic does Boss Xia represent?"

"My superiors even said that if I fail to negotiate a new project this time, I will be severely held accountable when I return!"

Upon hearing this, Director Li asked tentatively:

"Is your big project real? Are you going to set aside a special area in the 'Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps' for Boss Xia to open a stall?"

Director Zhang chuckled and said, "Hey, 'The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps' is a business card of our Xi'an cultural tourism. I plan to invite Mr. Xia to become a long-term partner and open a theme block for him."

“I believe that after this wave of traffic, our ‘Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps’ will soon become a world-class cultural tourism IP!”

Director Li and Gao Shengqi looked at each other in surprise. They had not expected Xi'an to be so bold and determined to create a new food and leisure district centered around Boss Xia.

At this moment——

There were figures and footsteps approaching in the corridor.

"I'm coming!"

Various cultural and tourism groups swarmed in.

"Boss Xia, welcome back..."

"Everyone is looking forward to your early return and setting up more night market stalls!"

"Boss Xia, Hangzhou, the food capital, sincerely invites you to cooperate and join us to create a new Suzhou and Hangzhou cuisine IP!"

"Boss Xia, come to our great Zibo, Shandong, and let's create new glory for Zibo barbecue——"

After a long while, Xia An was so numb from passive handshakes that he finally managed to break away from the terrifying crowd of people welcoming him to the airport and sit in the luxury bus leaving the airport.

He looked numbly at the team leader Lu Jiaxin:
"Didn't they say that they have tried hard to block the news? Wouldn't the scene be scary?"

Lu Jiaxin said speechlessly:

"Boss Xia, you have no idea of ​​your current influence. If I spread the news among the major fan groups, do you think you can get away from the airport normally without setting up a night market stall today?"

Uh, Xia An can only shut up.

Lu Jiaxin smiled secretly and handed over a thick stack of project plans:
"All provinces and regions have submitted project proposals. You can take a look."

Xia An was overwhelmed:
“Can’t we go door to door and queue in an orderly manner?”

Meng Yulu, who was sitting across the aisle, smiled and said, "You have a huge traffic sign. Cultural and tourism companies from all over the country are envious. How can they resist the urge to queue up slowly?"

She shook her phone.

"That's why I refused to answer the call from the Director of Yangcheng's Culture and Tourism Bureau."

Xia An gave a thumbs up: "Refuse the favor card, I want to rest for ten days or half a month before setting up the stall."

Lu Jiaxin hurriedly said: "Hey, Boss Xia, if you don't want to continue to be blocked by various cultural and tourism groups, then don't rest for so long, and arrange the stall plan and itinerary as soon as possible, so that I can explain it to the outside world!"

Xia An randomly picked out a copy from the thick project book:
"That's it, right?"

When Lu Jiaxin saw the project book of "Xi'an Datang Never Sleeps City Xia Laoban Theme IP Block Construction Project", she immediately smiled:

"After evaluation by my team and I, this project ranked in the top three in terms of significance and impact, regardless of the benefits."

"Moreover, Xi'an's cultural tourism department is very sincere, and they are very confident that the price they offer will arouse your interest..."
