Chapter 442 Cooking Skills Upgrade

After coming out of Zhu Jianguo's house, Zhou Ziwen opened the paper bag he gave him and found that it was indeed filled with tea.

You know what, the tea he gave me smelled quite fragrant.

Putting the tea leaves in his pocket, Zhou Ziwen came to the mushroom house.

After such a long delay, the members of the Mushroom Group had already finished their morning meeting and came over.

They are all busy cultivating mushrooms.

Zhou Ziwen inspected each room in the mushroom house and gave some pointers to the team members on how to operate.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, he turned around and went home.

When he got home, he continued to work on the wood that he hadn't finished yesterday.

With this, the morning passed quickly.

It was almost noon when Zhou Ziwen returned to the house and began to prepare lunch.

After such a long time of idleness, his cooking skills reached level seven last night.

After reaching level seven, his cooking skills reached the pinnacle.

His cooking skills are comparable to those of a state banquet master.

The dishes should be beautiful, fragrant and tasty, which is just the basic requirement.

The dishes he cooks are so delicious that they leave a lingering aftertaste.

There were also many more recipes in his mind. Some of these recipes he had seen, some he had heard of, and some were deduced through descriptions in books and the auto-restart panel.

Among them, the most famous ones are "Whose Jade Flute Listens to the Falling Plum Blossoms", "Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night", "Haoqiu Soup" and other delicacies.

In addition to these, there are many new dishes that you have never heard of.

These dishes are also updated through the auto-panel, and through the method of integrated deduction, better delicious food is deduced.

In addition to the dishes, there are also many recipes for secret seasonings.

Each of these recipes is priceless.

If it were sold outside, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be worth a fortune.

If you master just one of these recipes, you can use it to open a national chain store and make tons of money.

Of course, Zhou Ziwen was not interested in money, and it was not possible to do business in this era.

If you want to get rich, you have to wait until later.

After upgrading his cooking skills, Zhou Ziwen also wanted to try out the results.

After all, it would be a shame not to show off such good skills.

Zhou Ziwen has no interest in cooking, but is very interested in eating.

Food is the first necessity of people. People live their whole lives just to have a bite to eat!

In the kitchen, as smoke rose, an enticing aroma filled the air.

The fragrance slowly spread outside the house along with the smoke from the chimney.

"Wow, it smells so good, who's cooking?"

Not long after getting off work, Chen Qiaoyi, who was passing by the gate of the Youth League Home, smelled the fragrance and a puzzled expression appeared in her eyes.

"Who else could it be? It must be Brother Zhou cooking!"

Shen Zhaodi curled her lips. Isn't this asking a question even though she already knows the answer?

In their village, no one else except Zhou Ziwen can cook such delicious food.

"Brother Ziwen's cooking doesn't seem to taste like this?"

Chen Qiaoyi was a little confused.

"Ziwen's cooking skills have improved again." Chen Shiying said affirmatively.

She is the best cook among all the people present. With her love for cooking, she has a keen sense in this area.

She can tell whether a dish is delicious just by smelling it.

"Great job, my Brother Zhou." Zhou Chaoyang rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi flatteringly. "Sister Shiying, Sister Yiyi, how about we eat together today? I happened to exchange some snow clams with the children in the village yesterday."

"I can't make this well, but with Brother Zhou's cooking skills, it will definitely taste good."

If it were before, although the dishes Zhou Ziwen cooked were delicious, he could still tolerate it.

But he really couldn't stand the taste now!

In fact, after Zhou Ziwen's cooking skills were upgraded to level seven, there was indeed a big difference from before, and it could even be said to be a qualitative change.

After all, he was just a famous chef before, and if he were in those big cities, there would be a lot of them.

But level seven is a hurdle. If you don’t have talent, you will never reach this level even if you cook for your whole life.

"I can't be Ziwen's boss. If you want to partner up, go ask Ziwen yourself!"

Looking at Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi's expectant eyes, Chen Shiying chuckled and shook her head.

It’s not that she can’t make the decision for Zhou Ziwen, but she knows that Zhou Ziwen will definitely agree.

In Zhou Ziwen's heart, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi are his younger brothers and sisters.

Zhou Ziwen has always been very caring towards them.

"Hey, I'll go ask now."

Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi chuckled and put on shameless expressions.

It’s called sharing a meal, but in fact it’s just eating for free.

They were used to eating for free at Zhou Ziwen's house.

How can face be more important than eating?

Chatting and laughing all the way, they soon returned home.

When they got home, the aroma became even stronger.

The tempting smell makes people swallow their saliva.

"Brother Ziwen, what did you cook? Why does it smell so good?"

As soon as she entered the house, Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.

She had never smelled such a fragrant scent in her life.

"Today I made a dish called mother-in-law's chicken stewed with mushrooms. This dish is very famous here. Doesn't it smell delicious?" Zhou Ziwen asked with a smile.

"Chicken stewed with mushrooms? But why did you ask my mother-in-law to stew chicken with mushrooms?" Shen Zhaodi asked curiously.

"Hey, I know this. Let me tell you."

Hearing this, Zhou Chaoyang suddenly became energetic.

"Then go ahead!" Zhou Ziwen nodded with amusement.

"Ahem, by the way, this chicken stewed with mushrooms has a story. It's said that when the son-in-law was brought home, the chicken was scared out of its wits."

"The origin of this saying is that when a daughter-in-law brings her husband back to her parents' home, her parents usually treat her to a stewed chicken with mushrooms."

"When the little chicken saw the uncle, he knew his end was near, so he was frightened out of his wits."

"Because my mother-in-law likes to use this chicken stewed with mushrooms to entertain my son-in-law, it got the name 'Mother-in-law's Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms'."

Zhou Chaoyang introduced it proudly.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms is a famous dish in Northeast China. He also heard about it from the aunties and grandmas in the village.

He remembered such an interesting thing in an instant.

"Brother Ziwen, this is bear tripe, right?" Chen Qiaoyi asked, pointing to another dish on the stove.

"This dish is called Pickled Vegetable and Pepper Bear Tripe Pot. It's a light dish and should suit your taste." Zhou Ziwen explained.

"Really? Then let me try it."

Chen Qiaoyi's eyes lit up and she subconsciously wanted to reach out.

“Bang!”

As a result, her hand was only half extended when it was immediately suppressed by Chen Shiying.

"Go wash your hands."

"Oh!" Chen Qiaoyi pouted and went to wash her hands obediently.

"Brother Zhou, I got some snow clams yesterday. Let's add another dish!"

At this time, Zhou Chaoyang ran in carrying a bag of snow clams.

"Snow clam? It's a good thing! Leave it there!"

Zhou Ziwen glanced at him and knew what he was planning.

But he is happy today, so I won't bother with him.

This was his first time demonstrating his cooking skills after they reached level seven.

He also wanted to know how delicious the dishes he cooked were.
