Chapter 397 One plus one is greater than two

When you put it in your mouth, the coarseness of the bean dregs and the softness of the pork head are superimposed in your mouth. The completely different tastes are put together, forming a sharp contrast and blending with each other at the same time. It actually feels that the bean dregs are not so coarse, and the pork head has a unique soy milk flavor.

Zhao Xiaojing picked up another piece of pork head meat that was not contaminated with bean dregs and tasted it.

It is soft and rotten, and the sticky parts have been removed. It almost melts in your mouth. But I don’t know if it’s because of preconceived notions, but I always feel that it is not as delicious when eaten alone as when dipped in bean dregs.

It seems that this dish is indeed more than just one plus one.

"I kind of get the vibe of this dish. These two seemingly unrelated ingredients combined together are quite good." Zhao Xiaojing looked at the bean dregs on the plate with interest. "But the bean dregs probably didn't quite capture their essence. I think your cooking temperature wasn't right."

"The heat? I used medium-low heat, but it really doesn't seem to be enough. Can I try turning it up a bit?"

"I'll try it tomorrow when I buy some good okara, or I can buy some better soybeans and grind them myself. The okara itself is a bit coarse."

"Let me try it first. There's still a lot of bean dregs left." The pragmatic Nie Xiuqi immediately turned around to wash the gauze.

Zhao Xiaojing nodded in agreement and opened the evaluation module.

Braised Pig's Head with Bean Odule: Level 3. Poor quality of bean dregs, improper cooking temperature, improper marinade, and a slightly inadequate seasoning.

Sure enough, the fried bean dregs without the pig's head were level four, and after adding the pig's head, the whole dish was upgraded by one level.

But should the heat really be turned up? Didn't Yun Yongyuan say that the chopped peppers he stir-fried at lunch were better on low heat than his? He used to make chopped pepper eggplant over medium-low heat before, apparently? This kind of ingredient shouldn't need to be stir-fried to maintain its texture, but rather needs to be slowly dried over low heat.

"Brother Nie, why don't you try lowering the heat and stir-frying slowly."

"OK."

Nie Xiuqi didn't ask the reason, as if he had gotten used to the "intuition" that Zhao Xiaojing always used as an excuse.

It took half an hour before the fried bean dregs were taken out of the pan again after the heat was lowered.

Nie Xiuqi and Zhao Xiaojing each took a spoonful and tasted it. Although the cooking method had changed, the throat-cutting feeling remained. This feeling directly masked the subtle changes brought about by the adjustment of the firepower.

"I can't taste it. What do you think?" Zhao Xiaojing scanned with the quality evaluation module and came to the same conclusion. Seeing Nie Xiuqi frowning and taking another spoonful, she turned her head and asked.

"Me too."

"Then let's wait until tomorrow to buy good soybeans or bean dregs."

There was no point trying to taste it, so the two gave up and put the pork head in the refrigerator to be used as a snack for the employees tomorrow. Nie Xiuqi also left the store, leaving Zhao Xiaojing behind with the excuse that she had "made an appointment with workers to install a new disinfection cabinet."

The disinfection cabinet was obtained as a revenue bonus last time. I have been busy with the competition and there are people in the store all day, so I haven't had time to take it out.

The system's disinfection cabinet can be directly covered on the original disinfection cabinet, without any trace of change or increase of functions. However, since you have told the store staff in advance that you have "bought" a new one, there is no need to pretend like a microwave oven.

Zhao Xiaojing directly called the owner of the refrigerator and cupboard selling in the second-hand market, and asked him to pick them up at their home for 50 yuan and sell the original disinfection cabinet.

After the employee on the tricycle and Zhao Xiaojing worked together to put the disinfection cabinet onto the car and pulled it away like a gust of wind, Zhao Xiaojing immediately returned to the kitchen to exchange it for a new one.

This time there is no one in the store, and the system no longer uses virtual logistics for delivery, so it can be redeemed with just one click.

"The system needs to be good-looking, suitable for this space and store, and fully utilized."

[Received, host, your request is quite low.]

The moment the system's sarcastic voice was heard, a brand new disinfection cabinet with a gray-black frame, a light gray glass door, and a row of buttons on it appeared in the empty space of the original disinfection cabinet.

Wow! Although she was confused by the system, Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but admire it immediately.

The system's disinfection cabinet feels very high-end at first glance. The gray and black color scheme is very textured. I don't know what material the outer frame is made of, but it is smooth and bright. There are no traces of fingerprints when you touch it, and it fits in perfectly with the reserved position.

Then put the plates and bowls taken out of the old sterilizer into the cabinet. The bowl basket inside and the sizes of the pots and pans currently in the store are also completely customized. Each shape of pots and pans has a corresponding position, and the adaptability is much better than the previous one.

Zhao Xiaojing looked at it again and again, praising it several times. No matter how expensive the item itself was, as long as it was given by the system, it would bring a comfort that could not be bought with money.

After solving the problem of the disinfection cabinet, Zhao Xiaojing devoted herself to the learning module again.

According to Da Zhuang, the number of people who advanced after this rematch, that is, the Jiangcheng competition area and the Tuancheng competition area where Baitao TV is located, are close to each other and have a large registration base, so the number of people who advanced is also relatively large.

Similar to the Xiaocheng competition area in the eastern province and the Mucheng competition area in the new province, the number of people who advanced to the next round after the semi-finals was already in the single digits.

However, single digits do not mean weak. On the contrary, it is precisely because of strong strength and confidence that they are willing to travel from two thousand kilometers away to Tuancheng to compete.

As far as Dazhuang knows, there are already three disciples of top chefs and several successors of well-known restaurants here.

Because of this, Zhao Xiaojing became nervous again.

After all, the next game is the mixed match in Tuancheng.

Although the specific competition system is still unclear, we have already been informed that we will go to Tuancheng and compete with qualified players from all over the world.

Zhao Xiaojing re-cut the existing scene in virtual space. She reassembled the silver carp she had secretly projected at noon, the best duck she had bought earlier, and the fresh mandarin fish she had purchased earlier. She began a new round of experimentation and hard training...

Ding~

[After system evaluation, the current cook level is: 41 (intermediate, ordinary skilled, the maximum level is 100). This upgrade will receive system gold coins x 1000 and cash x 100000!]

Another upgrade, Zhao Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Song Sao's Fish Soup and Fairy Duck have made great progress. I have also come up with some ideas for making fish balls with silver carp meat. The fish balls I made are able to remain soft and tender without falling apart, although the taste and texture are not very good yet.

Zhao Xiaojing stood up and began to move her hands and feet, which had become stiff from sitting for so long.

Only then did I realize that my visibility had become extremely poor. When I looked out the window again, it was completely dark.

Before I knew it, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Another five hours had passed, and I had been in the virtual space for more than six hundred hours.

Zhao Xiaojing turned on the lights, checked the doors and windows of the shop one by one, then put on her backpack and went out.

It is the beginning of spring, and the evening breeze has turned from cool to mild. The magnolia tree on the corner has just shed its last petal, and the Hypericum in the landscape belt is blooming again.
