The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 58: Dacheng's Recipe Proficiency
Ended the call with two special masters, Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin.

Xia An received new news on his WeChat account.

Lu Jiaxin: "Boss Xia, I'm in the business hall applying for a company license, and our Douyin official account has been negotiated and established. Next time you set up a stall, you can use the official account for live streaming."

Lu Jiaxin brought the contract last night. After Xia An signed it, the two of them became de facto team partners. From now on, Xia An’s official account and some commercial activities will be fully managed by Lu Jiaxin.

Xia An replied, "Thank you for your hard work," put away his phone, went back to the lobby, and discovered a scene that surprised him greatly.

The three female disciples, Midori, Erina and Alice, were surrounding Xiaoxi.

On the glass coffee table in front of the sofa.

There is a plate of freshly baked dumplings.

When Xia An saw this plate of "degraded version" of flame dumplings, he almost laughed out loud.

Xiaoxi commented seriously:

"It's not cooked well, and it tastes burnt and bitter. It's far inferior to dad's!"

"The seasoning is not good either, it's too bland!"

Alice and Midori looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. They were originally imitating their own master, trying to hone their cooking skills through daily imitation.

As for asking Xiaoxi to taste the food, it was Alice's idea. The food couldn't be thrown away and wasted, so it would be better to use it to amuse Xiaoxi and feed the little foodie.

Who would have thought that when Xiaoxi paused the cartoon and got serious, he actually looked like a seasoned judge.

Erina was the last to join this imitation exercise. She was responsible for the "high fire collecting juice", which is the final step of using a flamethrower to roast the flame dumplings.

Now, I heard that my "high-heat cooking" had flaws and a burnt and bitter taste, and it was pointed out bluntly by such a child judge.

The little god couldn't hold back his tongue.

Xia An watched with interest for a while, without disturbing them, and went to the vacant kitchen and opened the panel.

[Recipe: "Flame Dumplings" (complete)]

[Grade: Treasure (Blue)]

【Progress: Beginner】

[Recipe Reproduction/Completion: 60%]

This is the recipe data before he added some basic pastry making skills to the [Great Mastery].

"With the blessing of Dacheng's pastry making skills, it shouldn't be a problem to reach 80% completion, right?"

Xia An admitted.

I just want to see the glowing miracle that might reappear after 80% of the completion.

Last time, he pushed the completion rate of "Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Mountain" to 81% in one fell swoop. Wasn't it like a sudden inspiration that triggered the first burst of brilliance in his chef career?

Then the idea is similar when applied to "Flame Dumplings".

80% completion.

Just ask if it can shine?

Not once.

If you do it a few more times, there's always a chance that a blind cat will catch a dead mouse, right?
For Xia An, what he coveted more was that after triggering the luminescence, he could obtain another white quality luminous talent fragment.

Half an hour later.

Xia An used the Dacheng pastry making technique to roll out handmade dumpling wrappers and wrapped more than a dozen dumplings. He skillfully fried them and used a flame torch to coat the crowns of the dumplings with a layer of flame color.

After finishing, Xia An couldn't wait to check the recipe details.

[Recipe reproduction/completion: 60% → 80%]

[The host is currently in the ancient recipe illustration collector mode. ]

[Ding, you have obtained the 10% stage illustration reward, do you want to claim it? ( exp)]

[Ding, you have obtained the 50% stage illustration reward, do you want to claim it? ( exp)]

[Ding, you have obtained the 80% stage illustration reward. Do you want to claim it? (Reward selection list)]

After reaching 80% completion, information about three stages of recipe illustration rewards popped up, prompting Xia An to claim them.

"What the hell?"

Xia An said that this row of reward information was so comfortable.

However, after reading it carefully, he complained that the blue recipe could not compare with the illustrated rewards of the purple recipe.

Whether it was "Kaihua Guoba" or "Liebingxian Taishan", he gained valuable attribute points.

But obviously, you can't directly get attribute points from the blue recipe.

Therefore, Xia An first collected 12,000 cooking experience points. Although he was curious about the reward list for the third item, he was also very clear-headed and knew that it would definitely not be as luxurious as the one in "Liebingxian Taishan".

"Option 1: Obtain the advanced fire skill [Fire Breathing] (blue)."

“Option 2: Improve the recipe learning progress (proficiency) to [Great Completion].”

"Option ③: Kitchenware Treasure Box (Blue)."

Unexpected!

Xia An was in a dilemma, his eyes scanning between the three options.

[Fire Breathing]. A blue fire-advanced skill.

Imagine the naked muscular man in the Dumpling Brothers in the cartoon, with liquor in his mouth, spitting and breathing fire at the plates and dishes like a juggler.

That scene made Xia An's eyes twitch slightly.

Please!

This is a modern society. Is it hygienic to do this? Please take out the health certificate of the stall owner to prove that you don't have any infectious diseases.

In short, this is an advanced heat skill with obvious negative effects, which will give diners a layer of psychological disgust debuff.

Besides, this is not the answer to the advanced skill that Xia An wants.

It's just a crappy blue skill.

Is it because the big brother [Explosion] is not fragrant enough?
At the same time, option ③ can also be passed.

Xia An didn't plan to draw any of the poisonous mixed card pools without instructions.

"Then I can only choose option ②."

No matter how you look at it, this reward is the most appropriate.

It can allow him to jump N levels in proficiency in the "Flame Dumplings" recipe, directly from beginner to master.

Xia An has a scale in his heart.

After he first shined that night, he reviewed and analyzed it carefully.

The proficiency of the recipe is also expected to affect the probability of the appearance of the glowing miracle.

And his proficiency in the recipe of "Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain" is only a small success!
nowadays.

However, he can directly upgrade his proficiency in "Flame Dumplings" to perfection in seconds!

"With the mastery of recipes at Dacheng, can we push for another wave of dish completion?"

Xia An selected reward ②.

After receiving the reward, he immediately started cooking again.

[Recipe reproduction/completion: 80% → 88%]

Another half hour later.

Results are presented.

Xia An happily said to himself: "It has increased by 8%? Not enough, more!"

But when he opened the refrigerator door, he found that the fresh shrimp and pork were all gone.

This discovery made Xia An laugh and cry.

How many times did he make flame dumplings today? He made them three times by himself, and his three female apprentices made them once, which added up to four times. It was normal to use up all the main ingredients.

"Come here, there's another pot of freshly fried dumplings, take some and eat them." Xia An called out.

In fact, he didn't need to shout.

In front of the bar, three female apprentices and their daughter Xiaoxi sat in a row on high bar chairs like diners.

At this moment, hearing his greeting, their eyes all lit up.

"Yeah~!"

Alice's expression was like this:
(**)
Anyway, she enjoyed the meal.

While millions of netizens on the Douyin platform are eagerly searching for classic ancient dishes, she can eat them to her heart's content at her own master's house.

Erina Nakiri stared intently at her master, whom she had only completely accepted after today's food battle.

Her eyes revealed undisguised ardent admiration and worship.

Three flame dumplings.

Each one is more powerful than the last.

Now, this third one, just by smelling the scent, Erina Nakiri felt a heat flow through her body and skin wrapped in clothes, and a shameful whipping and burning sensation.

Looking at the people in front of the bar, they divided up the plate of flaming dumplings again.

Xia An felt a great sense of accomplishment.

At the night market, diners seek out and chase after his stall, which gives them a sense of accomplishment.

At home, there is a daughter and female disciples who are gradually integrating into the family. In short, the family members are enjoying a feast that the netizens outside envy.

This is another different dimension of sense of accomplishment.

It is about improving your cooking skills and letting your family find happiness in delicious food.

……

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

Xia An got up and washed up, checked the business goals displayed on the panel, and then walked to the stairwell and shouted:

"Everyone go downstairs and prepare for tonight's stall!"
