The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 68 Ding, Food Hunter Mode has been activated (Second update)
boom!
As soon as Chi Xiaobai put the food box down, the wooden floor made a dull sound.

boom! !

The food box that Wei Xuelin brought was not light either, and the sound made Xia An and Chi Xiaobai look sideways.

"Xuelin, you're great, how many kilograms does your box weigh?" Chi Xiaobai asked somewhat unconvinced.

"15 kilograms." Wei Xuelin said lightly.

Chi Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That's not bad, I also weigh 15 kilograms."

Xia An was speechless after watching this. People on the Internet said that these top-notch masters all had strong auras and looked intimidating.

Now it’s just a delivery of ingredients, but they are all competing with each other, which is very childish.

"15 jin, the market price is yuan per jin, I'll transfer the money to you."

He lowered his head and operated on Weixin, and transferred the money immediately. Xia An didn't like to take advantage of these small things.

At this time, Erina Nakiri came back to the lobby from the gate of the courtyard, carrying the third box of ingredients from the Late Night Cooking Association.

"Master, the ingredients you ordered have arrived."

Xia An nodded, went up to unlock the door and opened it. A piece of delicious meat weighing half a pound, which had obviously been cut, gradually emerged in the diffuse cold mist. It was crystal clear and white.

As soon as the lid is opened, a rich seafood flavor fills the room.

"You also ordered lobster and fish claw meat?"

Chi Xiaobai pointed at the fresh-keeping box and said.

"Correct."

Xia An put on the white rubber gloves that came with the box, then took the giant claw meat out of the box.

Placed under bright light, the giant claw meat looks more delicate, like a large piece of white shrimp meat, with firm texture and clear texture.

[Lobster claw meat, bronze-level fantasy ingredient (green), has an exceptionally delicious taste. ]

Text pops up on the panel.

next moment!
Xia An's pupils shrank slightly.

The panel once again displayed rows of information.

[The chef panel has temporarily switched to food hunter mode. 】

[Goal has been triggered: Incorporate lobster claw meat (green) into an ancient dish, with the utilization rate/integration degree not less than 80%. ]

[Complete the goal to gain 5,000 cooking experience points. ]

"There is also a food hunter mode?" Xia An was secretly surprised, "The last time I used lobster fish meat to make "Fierce Ice Fresh Snapper Mountain"..."

Immediately, he figured out why, and Xia An's eyes twitched slightly.

The panel clearly showed contempt for the lobster fish meat. No food identification information popped up, and there was no target that came with it.

But it's also normal.

The meat of lobster fish is a secondary fantasy ingredient and is not even officially rated bronze. If it were classified by color, it would be of white trash quality.

Put the claw meat back into the food box.

Xia An turned around, opened the box and took out a large piece of red-haired pork weighing 15 kilograms.

[Red-haired pork, bronze fantasy ingredient (green), the meat is smooth, tender and juicy. Just a little roasting can bring out the original flavor of the meat. ]

……

[Goal has been triggered: Incorporate red-haired pork (green) into an ancient dish, with the utilization rate/integration degree not less than 80%. ]

[Complete the goal to gain 5,000 cooking experience points. ]

……

Look, it’s very efficient and has triggered a new goal again.

The two goals added together amount to 10,000 cooking experience points, which is a considerable profit.

Moreover, even if there is no additional goal, Xia An also intends to formally get in touch with fantasy ingredients and integrate them into "Flame Dumplings", this ancient dish that he has mastered and restored the most.

"Two bosses, I'm going to study the dishes next, you guys can do whatever you want."

Seeing that Wei Xuelin and Chi Xiaobai had not left yet, and had no intention of leaving, Xia An greeted the guests and went into the kitchen with a large plate of pork.

Take a knife and cut a few strips of pork that look like bacon slices.

Xia An turned on the fire, used a flat-bottomed cast iron frying pan, greased it with oil, and tried to fry the pork in it.

"Sigh--"

As soon as the meat slices were put into the pot, they began to jump and the juice flowed out as if they were being squeezed.

When the juice stopped flowing out, the surface of the meat slices had already turned slightly brown.

Click.

Xia An's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly stopped cooking. He shoveled the meat slices onto the plate, picked up a piece with chopsticks, blew on it twice, and then bit off a small piece and chewed it carefully in his mouth.

"How long has it been in the pot? Ten seconds? It's already overcooked!" Xia An hissed. Then he read the description of the red-haired pork: "The meat is tender, soft and juicy."

"Just a little grilling will bring out the original flavor of the meat..."

Obviously, the difficulty in cooking this kind of fantasy pork lies in controlling the heat!
Xia An was in deep thought, and a series of images flashed through his mind.

Chop the red-haired pork, use it as the filling, wrap it in dumpling skins, and then fry it in a pan.

Suddenly, Xia An slammed his palm:
"It can't be done."

“The essence of the Flame Dumplings, the core method, is to remove all excess water!”

"But this one is swept away, it's easy to dry out the red pork, roast wood!"

But whether it works or not can only be known by trying it.

Now Xia An just did a little testing on the characteristics of the ingredients.

Next, the claw meat of the lobster fish.

He cut a piece with a knife, then cut it into two halves, blanched one half in clear water and fried the other half.

After a while, Xia An tasted the two kinds of pork pliers cooked in different ways.

"Whoo-"

The teeth squeezed and the juice spurted out, and it was like a tsunami of umami in the mouth.

“There’s so much juice again??”

Xia An sighed, his eyebrows knitted tightly together.

Red pork is tender and juicy.

The lobster claw meat is also so juicy.

If we use them as the main ingredients, chop them up and use them as fillings, and then bake the dumpling skin over a light fire, wouldn't it be the same as wrapping a ball of water?

But anyway, you still have to try it.

……

In the kitchen, Xia An was busy chopping ingredients and making stuffing.

On the bar chair.

Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin watched with great interest.

It is a rare opportunity to be invited to a person's home and witness a cooking session at such a close distance.

At the night market, whether you can squeeze near the stall and watch Boss Xia cook depends entirely on luck.

"It seems that Boss Xia rarely comes into contact with fantasy ingredients. Is he an old-school chef?" Wei Xuelin whispered.

"Didn't Tong Kun say that he had eaten the glowing version of 'Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain' made by Boss Xia?"

When Chi Xiaobai said this, his originally smiling expression changed, his tone became sour, and his expression was full of jealousy and envy: "Moreover, that glowing version of "Fierce Ice Fresh Snapper Mountain" is made with lobster fish meat!!"

Wei Xuelin sighed: "Tong Kun is very courageous. If it weren't for the fact that the matter was too big to be concealed, he would probably want to block the news for a while."

"Send him to some obscure city to do odd jobs?"

"It's not impossible..."

The two were chatting.

Xiaan had already chopped the stuffing finely and seasoned it.

As for the dumpling wrappers, Xia An kneaded a lot of dough when he got up in the morning, in preparation for making the flame-flamed dumplings to be sold tonight.

So, Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin didn’t have to wait long before a big pot of dumplings was ready.

"Sigh--"

Fire.

Xia An's face looked a little solemn.

He stared at the dumplings in the frying pan, not daring to blink. At this moment, he felt like a newcomer in the kitchen.

Soon, as the heat continued to increase, the dumplings swelled up visibly!

It’s the ingredients inside that are bursting with juice!
"Can I get the flamethrower now?"

Seeing this, Xia An was afraid that the dumpling skin would burst, so he was a little nervous. He grabbed the flamethrower and pulled the switch to carry out the final finishing step of flame spraying.

however.

The first dumpling was roasted in the dual flames of rice wine and a flamethrower.

Suddenly there was a "pop" sound.

　The second update is here!

　　There are two more chapters tonight...
