Chapter 8: Ancient Recipes

at the same time.

In Guangzhou City, in the apprentice apartment not far from Yangquan Restaurant.

Luo Jian, a good seller on Xianyu, looked at the balance in his e-wallet and saw the news that there was an additional balance of +500 yuan. He was very happy.

In fact, this is already the 11th late-night cook who has come to him to buy a recipe package today.

Luo Jian’s ancestor was a giant in the food industry, named Master Luo Tian.

He used to be the head chef of Yangquan Restaurant, so Luo Jian's family, thanks to the influence of their ancestors, collected many books on ancient recipes and cooking techniques.

However, these ancient recipes and cooking techniques are almost not the originals, but handwritten copies by later generations.

And with the passage of time and the change of dynasties, these manuscripts were lost.

For example, the classic recipe "Phoenix Crystal" sounds very cool. It is said that it once amazed the Empress Dowager in the imperial palace and she praised it highly.

But now only the rough frame of the manuscript of "Phoenix Crystal" remains.

The dishes reproduced according to the serious omissions in the content will never have the charm of the famous dishes, but will instead seem like a weird pheasant.

Xia An: "I've finished watching it. There's nothing like what you said, the carving skills of Master Zhou Yu, a famous master of Yangquan Restaurant."

Luo Jian: "Oh, really? But to be honest, brother, if I sell you two classic ancient cookbooks for 500 yuan, you will make a lot of money."

Although the sales amount for this order was only 500 yuan, it is almost the lowest price in history.

Luo Jian's typed reply was still cautious in tone.

After seeing that the other party was no longer obsessed with the carving skills and turned around to give a five-star rating.

Luo Jian couldn't hold back his expression any longer and revealed a sneer.

These late-night cooks who have no connections are always prone to believe in the rotten ancient traditions and think they can really learn something.

There is no need to think about it, if the ancient tradition is so easy to learn.

Why are there fewer and fewer top chefs coming out of famous chef families such as Shuzhong Juxialou, Guangzhou Yangquan Restaurant and Modu Longzhen Restaurant in the past ten to twenty years?

The ancient heritage is lost.

The ancient and famous family was gradually crumbling.

Then why are you still clinging to these antiques?
"When I save enough money, I will embrace the super organization that controls a huge amount of fantasy food resources!"

“It represents the future of the food industry, a new era!”

……

At home, on the sofa on the second floor.

Xia An held his breath, opened the recipe package of "Fragrant Sea Bream", and read it carefully.

【Ding! 】

The familiar panel sound effect made Xia An's mouth curl up.

[Recipe: "Fragrant Sea Bream" (50%)]

[Grade: Rare (Purple)]

[Progress: Unable to learn! ]

[This recipe is moderately incomplete, with 50% of its content. You need to collect incomplete recipes to fill in the information, or consume attribute points to deduce. ]

Xia An tried hard to control his emotions so as not to laugh out loud in the middle of the night and scare his daughter who was taking a bath in the bathroom.

"Is "Li Bing Xian Tai Shan" only rare and purple grade?"

But, think about it carefully.

This recipe was created by Seven Star Knife Ryan.

In Daxian Temple, Ryan and Liu Maoxing competed in a cooking competition. The winner would become the heir of the [Eternal Spirit Sword], one of the eight legendary kitchen tools.

Although in the end, Ryan's "Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Mountain" lost to Liu Maoxing's "Reincarnation Spring Roll" in terms of creativity.

But if we put aside the lack of creativity, "Liebingxian Taishan" did not lose in terms of the content of the dishes.

Xia An read the text on the panel and pondered: "Do I need to collect additional incomplete recipes to complete it?"

"Or... just use attribute points to deduce?"

His eyes suddenly lit up.

Holding grass?

The second method, consuming attribute points and forcing deduction, is this not his own krypton gold plug-in? After all, searching and purchasing ancient recipe fragments all over the world is too time-consuming and full of great uncertainty.

It is better to work hard to gain attribute points one by one, and then spend money to let the panel deduce the complete recipe.

"Try?"

Xia An didn't hesitate and looked at the 1 available attribute point on the panel.

Try to allocate this attribute point to the recipe illustration column of "Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Mountain".

[It is possible to deduce 20%-30% completeness, should we proceed? ]

No.

Xia An took a breath, looked away, and tried to give the attribute points to the Phoenix Crystal.

[It is possible to deduce 5%-10% completeness, should we proceed? ]

"Ah this?"

Xia An almost wanted to gasp.

If you spend 1 attribute point, you can only get 5% to 10% of the recipe completeness. You should know that now the golden recipe of "Phoenix Crystal" is only 20% complete!

This means that if Xia An's face is very dark.

Using the calculation method of the Super African, each attribute point can only gain 5% of its completeness, which means you have to spend 16 attribute points!

What if these 16 attribute points are used on the six basic skills?

Without saying anything else, Xia An did a simple calculation in his mind and suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.

The four basic skills of seasoning/knife skills/heat control/wok-flipping that have already reached [minor proficiency], all upgraded to [extreme level] by spending money to upgrade three small levels, only consumes 12 attribute points.

"At least for me now."

"I just can't accept this krypton gold consumption!"

Xia An sighed.

I can only put the idea of ​​deducing "Phoenix Crystal" on hold for now.

The Golden Recipe is very powerful.

But you have to be able to afford it.

"Hey, if it's 'Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Mountain', I can spend two attribute points to deduce the recipe to be 100% complete!"

Thinking of this, Xia An's heart tightened, and he suddenly became very anxious to obtain the next attribute point.

Food Wars...it will trigger the target on the panel, so we must win!

"Dad, help me get dressed!"

At this time, Xiaoxi pushed open the bathroom door and walked out staggeringly.

Xia An stood up from the sofa and saw Xiaoxi trying to put her head into the sleeve of her pajamas. He immediately went over with a smile, supported his daughter, and let her little head pop out from the correct collar of her pajamas.

"Daddy, I want a hug..." The little guy was quite clingy, his hair was still wet, and he pushed hard into Xia An's arms.

He could only pick up Xiaoxi with one hand, glanced at the time shown on the clock on the wall of the small hall on the second floor, turned on the hair dryer, and slowly dried his daughter's hair.

“Beep, beep, beep—”

The late night alarm he had set during the day went off.

This is the alarm clock at 2:30 in the morning.

There is only half an hour left until the late-night food battle at 3 o'clock.

Xiaoxi fell into a deep sleep again while her hair was being blown dry. Xia An thought about it and was worried that Xiaoxi would suddenly wake up and cry heartbreakingly if she couldn't find her father, so he decided to take his daughter with him to participate in the food battle.

It was sorted out quickly.

When going downstairs.

Xia An did not forget to bring a can of garlic crisps that he often used.

This is a universal seasoning and a holy grail of condiments. Carry it with you as a card and you never know when it may come in handy.

Putting Xiaoxi on the back seat of the new energy vehicle, Xia An set the navigation destination and drove towards the city at high speed.
