The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 79 Nine-star cooking skills (first update!)

In Xia An's opinion, seasoning and heat are of greater importance in the near future, and it can be said that seasoning is more important than heat.

This is because, once you have mastered the unique skill of [White Snake Chain Rotation], if you don't focus more on the pastry field and shine on plain bread, it would be a shame to this golden skill.

Of course, Xia An didn't forget.

He won the food battle bet.

In addition to a complete and fresh colorful hairtail.

There are also two cookbooks, "Big Galaxy Noodles" and "Bian Lian He Ya Seven Color Longjing Steamed Noodles"!
The former is the recipe of the cooking god Liu Maoxing.

The latter is simply the recipe of the father of cooking.

Obviously, both are pastry and plain pastry recipes. Speaking of noodles, in addition to the hand-rolled noodles, another recognized soul must be the soup base!
Think about this.

Xia An didn't think too much about it and spent this attribute point on seasoning.

【Seasoning (great success) → Seasoning (perfection)】

【Comment: From everyday condiments to unpopular and rare spices, you can easily create seasoning formulas. 】

then.

After the knife skills, the noodles and seasonings are also added to make it perfect.

This means that Xia An has mastered three basic skills at the perfect level, perfectly meeting the requirements for certification as a nine-star chef.

"Now I am truly a nine-star culinary expert."

Xia An said secretly.

If Xiang Shilin knew that his cooking skills were only six stars before and during the food battle, would he be so depressed that he vomited blood?

It was really outrageous to attack someone at a different level. In essence, it was because Xia An borrowed the [Ultimate Taste] to create the nine-star killer dish.

When he added the broth, he successfully blended the [ultimate umami flavor] into the flame-fried dumplings, and it also blended harmoniously with the flavor of the crab and pig fillings.

When the semi-finished dishes were made that day, Xia An already knew that unless Xiang Shilin had hidden his true cooking skills and was at a top level, he would not lose no matter what.

Return to the second floor lounge.

Just walked in the door.

Several female disciples came over.

"Master!"

Alice jumped high and raised her hands, motioning for Xia An to high-five her.

Xia An: ? ?

Forget it.

Just celebrate a little bit.

It can be considered as a congratulations to himself that after this late-night food battle, his cooking skills have finally reached the first tier below the special grade.

"Snapped!"

Xia An smiled and high-fived Alice.

"Master, I'm coming too."

Midori was more powerful, like a female basketball player who won a game on the baseball field, high-fiving and fist-bumping Xia An.

"Erina-chan, do you want to high-five?"

Xia An's eyes swept across his daughter who was already fast asleep on the sofa in the lounge, and looked at the third female disciple, who was also the one who gave him the most headaches, and who was the proud golden-haired girl who had been disciplined and punished once.

Erina Nakiri bit her lip, opened her mouth, and was about to say the classic tsundere words in the next second, but she held it back and slowly stretched out her hand.

……

Half an hour later.

Empty venues.

Only Xiang Shilin was left standing blankly in front of the empty judging panel.

Tap, tap, tap. Wu Zhu's footsteps echoed.

"you lose."

Wu Zhu tried hard to control his emotions and not let the corners of his mouth rise.

We can't kill the wolf here.

Be patient!
Hearing this, Xiang Shilin's scattered eyes gradually focused: "I lost?!"

"Yes!"

"I lost!"

Xiang Shilin's face suddenly turned grim:
"Why, with the same nine-star cooking skills, he was able to increase the utilization rate of the "crab and pig" flavor to as much as 60%? "

"Even a well-established premium brand that has been deeply involved in the premium field for many years dares not even claim to have utilized a gold-grade fantasy ingredient to this extent!"

Wu Zhu looked at him with pity:
“So you lose.”

"That's it. You've already been crushed before the stage of competing in cooking skills and secret techniques."

Xiang Shilin's face twitched violently.

I couldn't help but stare at Wu Zhu:

"Are you here to comfort me, or to rub salt into my wounds and mock me!!"

Wu Zhu laughed dryly twice: "I just came to remind you that it's time to leave."

After a while, Xiang Shilin managed to calm down and returned to the lounge on the second floor to change his clothes.

The cell phone started to ring.

"Hello." He glanced at the incoming call number, his expression changed slightly and he answered the call.

"Win or lose?" a light female voice asked with a hint of playfulness.

"Lost..." Xiang Shilin uttered these two words with great difficulty.

"Oh?"

The female voice was not surprised at all: "You who firmly believe in winning by crushing ingredients finally met a tough opponent."

Xiang Shilin sneered:

"Don't laugh. Even if you come, you can't defeat that man."

"His utilization rate of gold-level fantasy ingredients and his understanding of fantasy dishes are not inferior to yours, not to mention that we haven't even compared his cooking skills and luminous secrets yet."

Wu Zhu next to him heard: Hmm? ?
Isn't this his line just now?

Xiang Shilin immediately put it to good use and used it to attack others!
"Who is this woman?" Wu Zhu's mind turned, and he thought of the true descendant of Jinghua, the "Devil King of Mischief" among the Eight Phoenix Immortals.

……

Outside the Qixingge Hotel.

PARKING LOT.

Well-known director Gao Shengqi brought a big shot who had booked a ticket for the Shokugeki competition and came all the way from Shu to watch the entire late-night Shokugeki competition.

The two were not in a hurry to leave, they were waiting for someone.

Gao Shengqi smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

"No matter how much resources are needed, we will spend it!" The Shu tycoon, who was about 60 years old, took a deep breath and said, "We must invite Boss Xia to participate in our "Chrysanthemum Downstairs Competition" program!"

"I'm sure that with his participation, the ratings of this show can directly compete with the other two popular shows!"

The Shu boss surnamed Liu said slowly.

"Shuzhongjuxialou has been silent for a long time in recent years."

"If we don't make our name known, people might forget about the Chinese food world and about Juxialou, an ancient and famous restaurant!"

Gao Shengqi nodded:
"So what conditions do you plan to add to attract Boss Xia and make him interested?"

The boss surnamed Liu said: "This competition is to release the next generation of Juxialou's chef candidate position, so as to attract the top nine-star chefs in the Shenzhou food industry to compete."

"On the condition of being the chef candidate."

"I promise that as long as Boss Xia comes to participate in the Juxialou Competition, I will open the Liu family's and Juxialou's library, allowing Boss Xia to freely browse the classical collections."

Gao Shengqi couldn't help but say:
"But you Liu and Ju went downstairs, so there is no collection left, right?"

Boss Liu said with a smile:
"There is a treasure in the museum, the unique skill of the former dark culinary world, the Monkey King Zhu Qi, 'Silver Chopsticks and Ten Pots Return'!"

"Boss Xia, don't you like setting up a stall at the night market? Then this cooking skill of controlling ten pots at the same time and performing replication-like cooking will probably suit his taste very well!"

Hearing this, Gao Shengqi was surprised.

There have been rumors for a long time.

Zhu Qi's unique skill "Silver Chopsticks and Ten Pots Returned" was greatly lost during the many wars.

Now listening to the confident tone of Liu's boss, it seems that Liu has been quietly collecting the fragments over the years?

This time!

A group of people came out of the hotel lobby.

The man in the lead held his daughter who was sleeping soundly.

"Boss Xia!"

Gao Shengqi was refreshed and rushed over to greet him: "Mr. Liu and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Soon, Xia An listened to the famous director's purpose.

"Participate in a food show? A chrysanthemum-going-downstairs competition?"

About an hour later.

Xia An drove his daughter and disciples back home.

He took a shower, changed his clothes, and sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, feeling refreshed, to check his WeChat messages.

Gao Shengqi left him a message:

"I look forward to your reply."

Xia An made a sound and let the matter go for the time being.

He did not forget to promise the vast number of diners on Douyin that he would continue to set up the stall tonight.

"Well, I'll set up a stall tonight and use a combination of red pork and lobster claw meat to make a weakened version of "Flame Soup Dumplings"!"

Don't doubt anything.

"Flame Soup Dumplings" is bound to cause another sensation and craze.

After all, this is Xia An's favorite dish of Lie Chilled Fresh Tai Shan.

Go to the night market street.

We truly sell highly-complete fantasy dishes!
