Chapter 177 Extreme

He really just wanted to answer Shen Anyan's question. Who knew that the system was so stupid and stupid? It started the lottery immediately after hearing it, leaving no time for him to bathe, change clothes, and fast.

Forget it! Anyway, according to the script, the one you drew must be an orange dish, so there is nothing to worry about. Why not look at the next mission reward.

Su Zifang's eyes fell on the last system prompt - Mastering Phnom Penh Cabbage?

“It’s actually golden-edged cabbage!”

After Su Zifang repeatedly confirmed that he had read it correctly, his expression gradually became cold, stiff, solidified, collapsed, and he felt tired and unloved.

Ordinary diners may not have much impression of this name, and may even think that it is a home-cooked dish like vinegared cabbage and soy cabbage.

However, senior junior chef Su Zifang knows very well how extraordinary this dish is.

Phnom Penh cabbage is a famous dish in the northwest. Because it has been promoted by masters of Shaanxi cuisine, it is also considered to be the representative dish of Shaanxi cuisine. It has five flavors of sour, spicy, salty, pungent and fresh, and has a crispy texture. It is similar to boiled cabbage and Ruyi cabbage rolls. This dish is considered the top three-course cabbage dish.

This dish not only tests the chef's ability to control the heat to the extreme, but also requires special techniques when cooking.

As far as Su Zifang knows, there are currently no more than one chef in the entire Shaanxi cuisine world who can use the authentic "Hua Da Si Men" technique to prepare Phnom Penh cabbage dishes.

It is more difficult to make than Wensi Tofu.

The purpose of this task given by the system is also obvious.

The Wensi tofu masters the knife skills, and the Phnom Penh cabbage masters the heat. I think the next dish must be about seasoning.

If he can pass, it is really possible to achieve advanced expertise in cooking within a year.

But now, Su Zifang is very aware that his level is far from mastering Phnom Penh cabbage, so he is not in a hurry to complete the task, and silently opens the recipe to look at his lottery results.

A dish with an orange border caught Su Zi's eyes.

"Wow, golden legend!"

Su Zi let his mind wander and looked at the name in the middle of the recipe: Fire Bud Silver Thread!

"Fuck!"

With a sigh, he clutched his chest with both hands to suppress his ecstasy, fearing that what he had just experienced was an illusion.

Huo Ya Yinsi is a lost Huaiyang dish that Xue Yi mentioned when chatting with him. The method is extremely delicate and cumbersome, and the preparation alone takes three days.

The simple instructions are to stuff steamed and air-dried shredded ham into bean sprouts and cook it with shark fin.

There are also dry and wet methods. When stir-fried, the outside is crispy and the inside is tender and delicious. When poured with sauce, it is rich and mellow, with an endless aftertaste.

According to legend, Cixi loved this dish the most, but it was gradually lost due to the cumbersome workmanship. Unexpectedly, she was the one to try it!

Harvest two dishes with S-level difficulty at the same time.

This feeling, from above!

Su Zifang even considered buying a welfare lottery ticket to try his luck later.

"Zifang, don't be too excited...it's just a dish, I believe you will make better ones in the future." Shen Anyan thought Su Zifang was too excited to make Wensi Tofu and comforted her.

"It's okay, it's okay."

After being reminded by Shen Anyan, Su Zifang realized that his performance was too much and denied it repeatedly.

They ate the Wensi tofu in the basin in two or two, and then cleaned the cooking table. It took Su Zifang and Shen Anyan nearly an hour to walk back to the dormitory building from the competition venue.

"so fast!"

When Su Zifang walked to Shen Anyan's door, he glanced at his phone and sighed quietly.

Shen Anyan smiled and said nothing.

"I remember that this road took a long time to walk..." Su Zifang continued to blink.

"I think someone is too impatient, right?"

As soon as Shen Anyan opened her mouth, she penetrated Su Zi's Xiao Jiujiu.

"Hehe." Su Zi smiled to cover up his embarrassment.

"Okay, you have to play the game the day after tomorrow, so go back and rest quickly. You have to practice for so long on the day of the game, so don't get exhausted."

A few minutes after Su Zi left Shen Anyan to say goodbye at the door, he was finally rushed back to his room. The two reluctantly said good night on WeChat for half an hour, and finally ended their first date after confirming their relationship.

"So this is what it feels like to be in love? It's great!"

With the last thought before going to sleep, Su Zi fell into a deep sleep.



The next day, Shen Anyan took Xue Xinjian, Zhao Xiaoman and Zhang Zidan to go shopping early in the morning, leaving Su Zifang and Mu Fei to continue improving the methods of Wensi Cuisine.

Soak, grind, heat, paste, press, grind tofu...it's still the same vegetarian soup.

With the support of solidification skills, Su Zifang made more than ten servings of Wensi Tofu and the feedback was: "Very good, not bad, okay, no difference, all the same..."

In the end, even Mu Fei couldn't help but burped and started to protest.

"Brother Fang, you've been making so many dishes in a row and they all taste exactly the same. What are you planning to do?"

Su Zifang listened to Mu Fei's words, stopped what he was doing and suddenly woke up: "That's right! He did it to improve Wensi Tofu's method, not to repeat it. But the solidification skills make it very clear that once you are not at your peak, OK, then the taste won’t change at all.”

"So...what changed?"

Su Zi paused for a few seconds, seemed to think of something, and changed the question.

"Then what do you think is the difference between these Wensi tofu dishes and the ones you ate before? How do you feel when you eat them?"

Mu Fei subconsciously clicked his tongue and looked at the ten identical servings of Wensi Tofu in front of him and began to reminisce.

"The first one tastes the best, delicious! It should be said that it is different from all the Wensi tofu I have ever eaten. It has a different kind of deliciousness."

"The next few portions. Apart from becoming more skilled in knife skills, the taste has not changed much. The improvement in taste brought by knife skills is of little significance."

"Even because of repeated tastings in a short period of time, it seemed bland and tasteless, far less amazing than the first bite."

Mu Fei said, scooping up the first portion of Wensi Tofu again and taking a sip, and said thoughtfully: "Brother Fang, why don't you try adding some ham or chicken soup to make it fresh? I didn't notice it just now, but now I taste it carefully. The only feeling of eating vegetarian food is that someone is banging the wooden fish next to you and chanting a few words about "Ami Tofu"..."

"Then what?" Su Zifang felt that the answer he wanted was about to be told by Mu Fei.

"Although I don't know how to make Wensi Tofu, I have eaten it made by others. Brother Fang, in my opinion, the problem with your Wensi Tofu is that it's not perfect enough!" Mu Fei said firmly.

"Extreme?"

“It’s just fresh!”

"Your Wensi Tofu is different from the ones I have eaten. It does not use stock but uses pure vegetables as the soup base. It is not as neutral and balanced as the traditional Wensi Tofu. Instead, it feels like you can eat it all over the world. "

Mu Fei scooped up a spoonful of soup alone and said, "Your soup is a bit like the mushroom soup in Dian City."

"In our area, every hotel makes mushroom soup, each with its own recipe and different delicacies. However, only the mushroom soup made by my grandfather is known as the mushroom soup. It is full of umami and cannot be imitated. Many people I came here just to taste this mushroom soup.”

"Anyway, you can't improve your knife skills in one day. Why not try to make the soup taste better and more delicious, so as to maximize the taste on one hand."

"Snapped!"

As if a window of glass shattered in front of him, Su Zifang suddenly realized what direction he should take to improve his literary skills...

If Mu Fei hadn't said it, he himself wouldn't have realized that his dish no longer resembled Wensi Tofu in the popular sense.

As the system said, it is more like a vegetarian version based on Wensi Monk's original Wensi Tofu. The only thing that can be changed in the short term is the soup base.

“A more delicious soup base?”
