PNB Chapter 367 Competition Notice
Chapter 367 Competition Notice
In the afternoon, after Zhao Xiaojing and Nie Xiuqi killed the fourth fish and tried Song Sao's fish soup's new method for the eighth time, they finally made new progress.
[Song Sao Fish Soup: Between Level 2 and Level 3, a more suitable one among many methods. The fish is cooked incorrectly, the ham is of the wrong type, and the auxiliary ingredients are not processed correctly.]
Upgraded! Zhao Xiaojing was delighted.
This was the last half of the fish fillets of the four sea bass. After the four people took turns trying to cut the fish into strips and failed, they unanimously decided to take it step by step and follow Nie Xiuqi's previous method, only improving the soup part.
After Zhao Xiaojing tried stir-frying the fish bones for the last time and adding chicken broth, the Song Sao Fish Soup that the two of them made together finally underwent a qualitative change, although it only advanced half a level.
"It tastes much better this time. Was this step successful?" Yun Yongyuan said with a smile on his face.
"I'll go look for ham from Zhejiang Province tonight. If there's any, I'll buy a few pieces. If not, I'll look for it online and place an order today. I'll try with the new ham then." Zhao Xiaojing said excitedly.
"Is the ham problem that big of a problem?" Wan Yuyue took another sip of the fish soup in confusion and picked up a piece of ham to taste it.
"Not really. It's just a breakthrough that can definitely be improved. After all, no matter how we prepare the shredded fish, we can't cut it right or marinate it well. Now that the window paper has not been broken, we can't see what's inside."
"Can the window paper be broken by buying the ham?" Wan Yuyue asked.
"Just give it a try. Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment having modified the soup today?" Zhao Xiaojing smiled.
Of course, buying ham won't make the breakthrough. This is a famous dish. Nie Xiuqi, the middle school chef with the longest experience among the four of them, has been cooking for five years, but he still hasn't made the breakthrough. Will adding the three of them be enough?
There may be a very small chance that it will work, but the time and energy invested will definitely be disproportionate.
Otherwise, the famous dish would have been everywhere and everyone would know how to cook it.
But who let her have the cheat? She relied on the cheat. As long as she could get 6% close, she could buy the recipe.
"That makes sense. Junior sister, please buy some pork belly and kidney, or tripe and duck intestines tomorrow!" Yun Yongyuan thought about it seriously, stretched out two fingers and shook them up and down.
"Why? You want to add these to Song Sao's fish soup?"
“What to add to Song Sao’s fish soup is your business.” Yun Yongyuan immediately shook his head. “Didn’t the chef say that we could also use pork tripe and kidney? I’ve never been able to control the heat of this dish well. Yellow throat and duck gizzards require different heats, and I can’t control it accurately. But yellow throat and kidney, or tripe and duck intestines should be the same. If I put them in together, I’m sure I can control it better!”
"That's fine. You're quite good at drawing inferences from one instance." Zhao Xiaojing agreed readily.
After dinner, before Zhao Xiaojing set out to various markets to look for ham, the audition notice for "Fresh Chef Competition" came.
As Wen Jin had heard through the grapevine, this competition had invited some heavyweights, so the publicity was massive and the scale was unprecedented.
All satellite TV channels and the internet have done enough advertising. Even the star of the melodramatic web drama that Ouyang Yidan was following started endorsing the cooking competition halfway through the show. As a result, a large number of people participated. Almost every province in the country has set up an audition area, and you can hear passers-by talking about the news on the street.
Since the organizer of "Fresh Chef Competition" is located in Baitao TV in the neighboring province, which is not too far away, and Jiangcheng has a large population base, the number of people who signed up in Jiangcheng was second only to Tuancheng where Baitao TV is located. Moreover, Jiangcheng is the provincial capital, so it was naturally set up as the audition sub-competition area of the province.
The location of the sub-competition area is in Jiangliu District, at the National Stadium which is very close to Master Gu’s Restaurant. The date is scheduled for April 1st, which happens to be a Saturday.
Zhao Xiaojing took a deep breath and suddenly felt a sense of urgency. April 1st was only ten days away. Although it was just the auditions, the schedule would definitely be tighter after the auditions, and there would not be so much time to practice.
"Senior Brother Yun, how about you help me find some ham? The competition will be on April 1st, and I want to make the most of the time to practice." Zhao Xiaojing stopped Yun Yongyuan who was about to leave and showed him the notice.
"I can just go buy it. I have nothing to do." Su Yuchen, who came specially for dinner, took a look at the notice and took the job automatically.
"Can you tell the difference between hams? Can you tell whether a ham is good or bad? Professional matters should be left to professionals, okay, Comb Girl?" Before Zhao Xiaojing could speak, Wan Yuyue rubbed Su Yuchen's hair.
"Ha." Su Yuchen saw that it was Wan Yuyue, smiled and glanced at her, "You really hold a grudge! You..."
"Okay, okay, senior sister, you are a professional, why don't you go buy it?" Zhao Xiaojing stretched out her hand and hurriedly stopped the two before they could quarrel again.
At dinner, because Su Yuchen tasted a large lump of salt in the spicy and sour chicken offal that Wan Yuyue had cooked, the two of them joked and argued all night, and Zhao Xiaojing was overwhelmed by what she heard.
"Okay, just reimburse me." Seeing that Su Yuchen's spell was interrupted, Wan Yuyue agreed with a smile.
"Reimburse. Just report it when the time comes. You guys can discuss it. Anyone can go. It's all reimbursed!" Zhao Xiaojing saw from the corner of her eye that Yun Yongyuan opened his mouth and seemed to want to go as well. Su Yuchen was also ready to fight back, so she hurriedly slipped away before they could open their mouths.
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xiaojing, who had been in the virtual space for more than two hundred hours, tasted a bite of freshly cooked lychee meat. She immediately couldn't wait to open the system background and jump to the recipe module collection page.
[Lychee meat: 6%??Available for purchase]
I know the strategy is useful! Zhao Xiaojing was delighted.
At present, she has bought system recipes for her home-cooked dishes, and has almost reached a bottleneck. Apart from accumulating experience, practicing basic skills a lot, and improving her overall cooking skills, there is no room for improvement.
The two famous dishes, pot-roasted pork elbow and fairy duck, are still being practiced. One can be made quite well, while the other is still a work in progress.
Although the virtual space provided ample time and space for practice, with nearly five hundred hours of practice every day, Zhao Xiaojing still lacked confidence in learning just these two famous dishes.
Therefore, she set her sights on lychee meat, which had been activated to 5% for a long time, but had always been a dish she practiced with when she got tired of cooking other dishes.
Sure enough, just a few hundred hours of focused practice immediately paid off.
"System, buy the recipe for lychee meat." Zhao Xiaojing said happily.
[Purchase the recipe for lychee meat, cost 3 system coins, please confirm whether to purchase. ]
【whether】
"Yes." It was the expected price. With a slight beep from the system, lychee meat immediately appeared in the learning module.
Zhao Xiaojing plunged into the learning module again and started a new round of learning...
