I'm a junior in college this year, and I've linked my fishing check-in system.

Old Li, on the other side, sounded puzzled. "Is it really that good?"

"To be honest, shrimp and fish shouldn't be combined. The sweet and fresh flavors should have a bit of an 'overmixed' taste."

Old Wang laughed and said, "You're just too dogmatic!"

"This stuff is delicious!"

Seeing this, Dai Zhenli also picked up a spoon and carefully scooped a spoonful of fish soup.

She took a small bite, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"It's so fresh!"

"There's absolutely no fishy smell!"

She scooped up another spoonful.

The fish melts in your mouth.

With the unique sweetness of fresh shrimp...

The two flavors complement each other without mixing, and the combination of sweetness and freshness creates a unique and delightful taste.

Dai Zhenli looked at Jiang Qian with bright eyes.

Jiang Qian looked at her and felt...

That's really going too far, senior. Can you please stop making that face all the time? I really can't control myself anymore...

Looking at the scene, Old Li walked over with some suspicion. "Is it really that good?"

He walked over and took a bite.

He then muttered to himself, "It's not that good..."

Jiang Qian was taken aback, and Dai Zhenli was about to stand up and refute.

Old Wang laughed heartily and said, "Old man, stop pretending!"

Old Li glared at him, "You really weren't taught as well as my master!"

"But I have to admit, it's really good. The taste is excellent, there's no off-flavor, and the umami flavor is just right."

Old Wang patted Old Li on the shoulder.

"Old Li!"

"I told you, this young man is a master."

"You still don't believe me!"

Old Li ignored Old Wang's loud and boisterous chatter; his gaze remained fixed on Jiang Qian.

"My name is Li Chuxin." He extended his hand. "You can call me Lao Li if you like."

"My master is Wang Fugui, a national-level master chef."

"I've been learning to cook from him since I was a child."

"In this line of work."

"They're somewhat famous."

Jiang Qian smiled and nodded. "Hello, Professor Li. My name is Jiang Qian, and I am a third-year student in the School of Life Sciences at Suzhou University."

Li Chuxin withdrew his hand.

He pointed to the casserole dish and asked curiously:

"Your recipe..."

"Where did you learn that?"

He was genuinely curious.

As an apprentice of a Suzhou chef and a renowned chef himself, it was impossible for him not to be able to taste what had been added.

However, for dishes that rely heavily on umami flavor, how much to add, how to add it, how to judge it, and how to quantify it are all important questions.

This is the most important thing that a recipe should contain.

In fact, most famous chefs, to be honest, can't taste what's added?

It's just that the quantity is hard to estimate!

Jiang Qian thought for a moment, then said with a grin:

"A family heirloom!"

Li Chuxin nodded. "I've been a chef for decades, and I can confidently say that I'm a master at cooking river delicacies."

"But what you did really opened up new avenues of thought for me."

"The technique of combining shrimp and fish is particularly ingenious."

His tone was full of admiration.

"Young man Jiang Qian."

Li Chuxin suddenly changed how he addressed him.

"I have a favor to ask."

Jiang Qian looked at him.

He was signaled to continue.

"Your recipe for stewed shrimp and carp."

"I am very interested and willing to pay a high price to buy it out."

Li Chuxin revealed his purpose.

Old Wang and Dai Zhenli both looked at Jiang Qian.

Buy out a recipe!

Old Wang was genuinely surprised.

Li Chuxin has always been a very proud and arrogant person. He would never buy a recipe just because a food stall on the roadside tastes good.

The recipes he wanted to buy were all things he thought were incredibly delicious, something that would tempt even someone like him!

Jiang Qian pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Chuxin and said, "Mr. Li!"

"Thank you for your high regard."

"However... I don't need quick money right now, so I probably can't let you buy it out."

Li Chuxin was somewhat surprised—

He's been in this business for so long, and very few people can resist the temptation of high prices!

What does this mean?

This means that the person in front of you has absolute confidence in their recipe!

"However, he does indeed have that ability."

Jiang Qian continued:

"But as you know, I'm just a college student, and I don't have the ability to promote recipes. I'd rather earn some stable money."

Li Chuxin understood what Jiang Qian was saying.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked Jiang Qian over again—

"This young man... is quite interesting."

"A steady, long-term approach?"

Li Chuxin repeated it.

"What kind of gradual, long-term approach do you envision?"

Jiang Qian smiled.

"I think."

"I can give this recipe to you, Brother Li, so you can try it out at your shop."

"If it works well."

"We can discuss further cooperation methods, Brother Li, what do you say?"

Li Chuxin lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he also prefers this method.

After all, in that case, he would only need to invest some money in raw materials, which is not a very large investment.

"Okay," Li Chuxin patted the table. "I admire your judgment and believe in your abilities."

"I'll arrange a trial run at the store right now!"

"If we can truly amaze diners like we did today."

"Then you'll have the final say on our future cooperation."

Jiang Qian nodded, took out his phone, and sent it directly!

Dai Zhenli looked at Jiang Qian with admiration, "Wow, Boss Jiang, you've already closed a deal!"

"Come on, let me toast you!"

Jiang Qian said helplessly, "No, that's not true."

"But I do have...fishing skills now."

Jiang Qian was well aware of this.

He actually had an even more important idea, which was...

He wanted to convert all the seafood-related practices that were rewarded by the system into money.

He certainly wasn't just aiming for a steady, long-term relationship; he also had the idea of ​​testing the system's recipes.

"but……"

Let's enjoy ourselves for now and be careful!

……

the other side.

Li Chuxin quietly slipped out of the camp and picked up his phone:

"Feed".

"Old Zhang?"

"I'll send you a recipe."

"You'll be working overtime tonight."

"Make this dish for me and test it out."

Night falls.

In the laboratory of the School of Life Sciences at Suzhou University.

Zhao Sirui stared at the petri dish.

His brows were furrowed.

"Failed again."

He murmured softly.

The table was piled high with experimental records.

A dense array of numbers.

But he couldn't piece together the result he wanted.

He rubbed his throbbing temples.

He let out a long sigh.

"never mind."

That's all for today.

He stood up.

Turn off the incubator lights.

The laboratory was instantly plunged into darkness.

Only the light from the streetlights outside the window.

It barely illuminated a corner.

Zhao Sirui walked out of the college building.

A night breeze blew by.

It carried a slight chill.

He felt an emptiness in his stomach.

Waves of hunger washed over me.

We need to find something to eat.

He was talking to himself.

He usually eats at the school cafeteria.

Or order takeout.

But today.

He wanted to eat something different.

To alleviate the frustration of failed experiments.

He wandered aimlessly.

Walk through several streets.

Finally, we stopped in front of a small restaurant with a brightly lit sign.

"Old Li's Private Kitchen".

He read the words on the sign.

"Sounds pretty good."

He pushed the door open and entered.

The restaurant was bustling with noise.

A rich aroma wafted over.
