After harvesting two recipes in one day, Su Zi was as happy as the village chief's silly son. He didn't even pay attention to Chai Ya's words on the phone, he only thought about how good it was.

He waited until the phone hung up before he realized that Chai Ya seemed to have said that he was going to have delicious food that didn't contain meat after get off work. Please prepare it for him.

Prepare... prepare for what?

It's delicious and not too meaty. Can you prepare some shrimp cakes for her?

Su Zifang looked at the system rewards and suddenly thought deeply... It seems that shrimp cakes are really good.

Shrimp cakes are found in coastal areas all over the country, but the methods vary greatly from place to place. Some are pan-fried or deep-fried, some have whole shrimps, and some have smooth shrimps. There are also different toppings added to different tastes in different places, such as eggs, green onions, salt, and peppercorns.

Pepper, liqueur... just to name a few.

When Su Zi learned how to cook, her teacher was from Jiangsu, so the cooking methods were taught according to Jiangsu tastes. As a girl who grew up in Jingling City, Chai Ya thought she would not be picky about Jiangsu-style shrimp cakes.

But to be on the safe side, Su Zifang opened the recipe and planned to see how to make shrimp cakes.

After experiencing Wensi Tofu, he is now looking forward to the story behind the system's recipes. After all, it's a big production, a big scene, a one-to-one special effects restoration, and an immersive viewing experience. It's hard not to give it a five-star rating. The key is that it doesn't cost money.

When opening the recipe, Su Zifang noticed that the outer border of the shrimp cake was only blue, which seemed to be a B-level dish. Looking at the rating, it actually showed a record of C-, and there was a message stamping the host at the bottom.

Made at Old Southern Cooking School on February 11th.

If I remember correctly, it was produced by Jia Xibei’s food tasting class.

c-, he thought it was quite delicious, and Jia Xibei also enjoyed it very much...

Hmm... I feel sorry for Teacher Jia.

Thousands of miles away, Teacher Jia sneezed: "Who is thinking of me again?"

[The color of the border is only used to judge the difficulty of mastering the dish. Any dish meets the final rating system of s-f.]

Perhaps because he was worried that Su Zifang would not understand the rules, the system specifically gave a reminder that the color of the border has nothing to do with the cooking level.

Dishes have different difficulty levels, but the final taste is also different. People with high cooking skills can make low-difficulty dishes taste S-level, but people with low cooking skills can turn high-difficulty dishes into a pot of garbage.

"That's it." Su Zifang nodded, indicating that he understood and then clicked on the video.

But contrary to expectations, the shrimp cake video is quite satisfactory. It is just a master chef skillfully handling the raw materials and then putting them into the pot for frying. There is no soundtrack, no story, no emotion, not even dialogue, and even the precautions are prompted by subtitles.

"Don't blue dishes deserve their own stories?" Su Zifang deeply felt the cruelty of reality.

Sure enough, the only dishes that are famous in history are dishes like Wensi Tofu that were born with popular stories. Street snacks such as shrimp cakes have long been wiped out in the long history, and even the inventor has become less important.

[The host is asked to discover the story behind the food by himself, and the food with story bonus can have unexpected effects.]

The system flashed a prompt and then stopped showing up, but Su Zifang felt as energetic as if he had been given a shot of blood.

It seems it’s time to put a notice at the door of the store: I have food, do you have a story?

Of course, Su Zifang was just thinking about it. After all, he hadn't even completed the task at hand, so there was no use thinking about these extremely unlikely things. It was better to prepare the dishes for the evening honestly.

Shrimp cakes were a dish he had practiced in school. After watching the system video, he had a better understanding of making shrimp cakes and couldn't help but feel itchy hands.

After watching Wensi Tofu, Suzi's mind was filled with the thought that I can do it. If his remaining sanity hadn't woken him up, he would have challenged S-level cooking with his junior cooking skills.

Now that he has shrimp cakes for him to practice, he naturally can't let it go.

Traditional shrimp cakes are made with lard and flour, which is still far from being fattening. In order to meet Chaiya's requirements, Su Zifang planned to make a new attempt.

There were fresh river shrimps in the store. Su Zi took half a catty and peeled off the shells, pulled out the shrimp threads, marinated them with pepper and rice wine and set them aside.

Wash the fresh lotus roots and carrots, peel off the skin, and then carefully chop them into cubes. This is still quite a challenge for Su Zifang’s knife skills. Fortunately, the quantity is small, and it took an hour to cut it into small pieces that meet the requirements.

Man.

Use the back of a knife to chop the marinated shrimp into minced shrimp, mix it with diced vegetables in a bowl, and break two eggs into it. Then use chopsticks to stir in one direction until the ingredients in the bowl are fully mixed to form a sticky consistency.

Su Zifang breathed a sigh of relief as the most difficult process was finally over.

A circle of olive oil was poured on the frying pan, and the entire bottom surface became shiny. The unique flavor of olive oil was exuded under the licking of the flames. Su Zifang took the opportunity to spread out two shrimp cakes.

The amount of oil is too small, so I can't judge it with my chopsticks. I can only feel the temperature in the pot from a distance.

Forty centimeters away from the pot, the heat of the air was still higher than body temperature. Su Zifang knew that the heat was up and hurriedly slid the shrimp cakes into the pot.

The shrimp cakes were oily, and the aroma was squeaking out. The flavors of shrimps, carrots, eggs, and lotus roots were mixed together, forming a strange scene in front of Su Zifang's eyes.

A reed chicken ran wildly across the water on green lotus leaves, chasing the fresh shrimps that jumped out of the water from time to time. Finally, it pecked the unlucky one...

"Kekeke~" The chicken crows three times, and an extremely fresh brown egg is laid on the lotus leaf. As a result, the scene changes and it turns into a carrot again.

…

"It can't be dark cuisine, right?" Su Zifan shook his head to dispel the image in his mind, and turned the shrimp cake over.

He has made vegetable cakes and shrimp cakes several times without any overturning. So the vegetable shrimp cakes mixed based on the advantages of the two should not be overturned, right?

Su Zifang didn't dare to delve into it, and only waited to try it out before making a decision.

The shrimps and eggs are not difficult to cook. The lotus roots and carrots are chopped very finely and should be cooked, and they still maintain a crisp texture.

Su Zifang thought for a moment, sprinkled a pinch of salt evenly on the shrimp cakes, and placed them on a plate.

There were two shrimp cakes placed on the white porcelain plate. It was just for eating by itself without any additional decoration. Su Zifang picked up one with chopsticks, blew on it a few times, and took a big bite.

"Crack." The outer layer is crispy as if it has been fried, but the inside still retains a tender, smooth and firm texture, and the unevenly sprinkled salt enhances the deliciousness of every bite.

Delicious is just one word!

Looking at the menu again, the original shrimp cake column has now become a drop-down menu, and vegetable shrimp cakes appear in it, explaining: a dish created by the host Su Zifang for the needs of diners.

This time, before Su Zifang could ask a question, the system prompt popped up.

[The host successfully improved vegetable shrimp cakes, level b-, and rewarded 30 points of culinary expertise. 】
