Chapter 253 Wang Jiandang's Good Ingredients
After Wang Jiandang left, Zhao Xiaojing drove the car and stared at the two large bags of food on the passenger seat, becoming interested.
Normally, when Wang Jiandang and Chen Huiping ate at her place, they would give her more than she could pay back. But now she had a quality appraisal module, which allowed her to secretly upgrade the quality of the food. As long as it was not outrageous, even if they could taste something different, they would not be able to guess the reason and would only think that the meat of the beach sheep was of good quality.
Moreover, the ingredients are optimized before being returned to the restaurant. When the food is brought back, people in the store will not know the difference. When the dish is cooked, Wang Jiandang and his wife cannot tell the difference. It is a perfect closed loop.
It just so happens that the special favorability task has not been completed yet, so I can try to use the method of improving the ingredients to give me some direction.
But it doesn’t matter even if there is no progress. Wang Jiandang and his wife are nice people, so just consider it a disguised form of repayment.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaojing turned the car and parked it in the paid parking lot near the store.
Unbuckle your seat belt and open the quality inspection module for verification.
[Authentic Ningxia Tan Lamb Ribs, slaughtered seven days ago, frozen, thawed, and then frozen again. Quality: Grade 2.]
???
Zhao Xiaojing, who had never eaten Ning Province's beach lamb, now deeply understood its value.
It has been slaughtered for seven days and has gone through a round of freezing, thawing, and freezing again, and the quality can still reach level two?
"What kind of sheep is promoted to level one?" Zhao Xiaojing asked.
【Freshly slaughtered Ning Province Tan sheep.】
"What about special grade?"
[Growing up on vast grasslands, eating natural, pesticide-free, high-quality grass, drinking water from melted alpine snowfields, climbing walls and scrambling between mountain ridges, and occasionally nibbling precious snow lotus from the cliffs, this breed has cultivated a system of lambs with sweet, firm, and perfectly balanced fat and lean meat.]
Sounds like a better life than hers? Zhao Xiaojing choked up.
[The premium ingredients produced by the system are not fanciful, but are formulated based on the world the host is in, and will not deviate too much from the existing world.]
Seeing Zhao Xiaojing silent, the system rarely explained.
Zhao Xiaojing nodded, feeling inexplicably relieved.
So, should she upgrade to the first grade or the special grade? Having never tasted either, she didn't know the difference. While she wouldn't be out of touch with reality, what if the difference in taste was too noticeable?
"System, I'm upgrading in the virtual space and making all the ingredients to try. After I come out, the upgrade is also virtual, and the system coins I spend are also virtual, right?" Zhao Xiaojing blinked and asked silently in her heart.
This time it was the system's turn to be silent.
Zhao Xiaojing secretly raised the corner of her mouth. According to the system's inertia, silence means there is a loophole to exploit! And this loophole the system hadn't expected!
Without asking any further questions, Zhao Xiaojing went straight into the virtual space.
Four minutes, or six hours in the virtual space, later, Zhao Xiaojing moved her eyes and smiled.
During these six hours, she not only upgraded and compared the taste of the lamb, but also tried the seasoning ratio, and now she has found the most suitable method.
While waiting for the mutton to be cooked, I also tried the winter bamboo shoots on the side.
"System, upgrade the mutton to the first grade, and the winter bamboo shoots to the special grade." Zhao Xiaojing muttered to herself as she started the car.
She had tried it just now. Upgrading the mutton to the special grade would indeed make the taste better, but the appearance of the mutton was different from what it is now. These mutton could not be finished, and the remaining half would be returned to Chen Huiping and others. It would be difficult to explain if people noticed that the mutton was different. It would be more reliable to upgrade it to the same kind of mutton.
Winter bamboo shoots are different. Although they look more beautiful and tender after being upgraded, the difference is not that big. Moreover, she cooks them in one meal and no one knows when they are done.
However, the winter bamboo shoots that Wang Jiandang gave were actually rated level two, and because it was not the freshest time for the winter bamboo shoots due to seasonal reasons, they were only rated level two.
It turned out to be wild bamboo shoots growing in the mountains. The gift from the customer was really a good thing.
As for the shiitake mushrooms, they were directly identified as grade one and were also from the mountains, so Zhao Xiaojing didn't need to upgrade them.
The system didn't make any sound, but the text message on the phone about the deduction of money rang. Zhao Xiaojing turned her head, opened the bag and took a look. The ingredients had been upgraded.
It only cost 100 yuan to upgrade a rack of lamb ribs, and 1 system coin to upgrade winter bamboo shoots. Based on the price of ingredients, it is cheaper than yesterday's strawberries.
But I upgraded from level 4 yesterday, so I can understand why it’s expensive.
Zhao Xiaojing was thinking about these things all the way and drove back to the shop in less than two minutes.
The parking space was empty as usual. After Zhao Xiaojing parked the car, Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua ran over from next door, carrying large and small bags of things into the kitchen.
"Why did you take so long to shop today? What fresh ingredients did you come across?" Su Yuchen was carrying the blanched ingredients for the braised pot side dishes and was about to go next door when he saw Zhao Xiaojing come in. He glanced around at the ingredients that were brought in, and then looked at the bag in Zhao Xiaojing's hand.
Behind Su Yuchen, Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua were sorting the ingredients in the bags. Ouyang Yidan and Wu Kaile took some fresh vegetables and began to wash them. Lu Hongwen took out some of the meat and put some in the refrigerator to soak in the blood water. Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan had been busy cutting the prepared vegetables in the kitchen since Zhao Xiaojing came in, without even looking up.
"I met Uncle Wang and asked him to help prepare three dishes for the guests at noon." Zhao Xiaojing raised the bag in her hand, took out a basin from the shelf, and began to prepare Wang Jiandang's ingredients.
The lamb was chopped into chunks, half soaked in water, and the other half divided into two portions and frozen in the refrigerator. Zhao Xiaojing picked up her knife while observing the attention of those around her. Seeing everyone too busy to look up, she turned her back and placed the bamboo shoots in a deep bowl, using the quick-peeling function to peel them in one second. She then rinsed them along with the mushrooms, cut the bamboo shoots lengthwise, halved the mushrooms, and cut a few into thick slices. Ouyang Yidan then washed and peeled a few radishes.
Then take out the cooking pot, put the winter bamboo shoots in, add water and a small amount of salt, turn on high heat and wait for it to boil.
"Xiao Zhao, put the basin here for you." As soon as the fire started, Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua came over with two basins full of pork strips and placed them on the operating table next to Zhao Xiaojing.
The store has been making crispy pork for two consecutive weeks. Fried foods cool down quickly in winter, but many people like to buy crispy pork to cook in hot pot. Zhao Xiaojing and her friends also like to eat it in hot pot, so they haven't changed the variety, and customers like it.
"Okay." Zhao Xiaojing walked over directly upon seeing this, took the various seasonings on the workbench as well as the batter and eggs prepared by the two older sisters, weighed them one by one, and poured them into the pork strips.
The task of seasoning is now completely handed over to Zhao Xiaojing. Zhao Xiaojing is better at this kind of large-dose preparation and can grasp the taste more accurately.
After Zhao Xiaojing put all the seasonings in place, the two older sisters put on gloves and stood by, using all their strength to stir the seasonings and meat strips.
Zhao Xiaojing turned around, waited for the water to boil, then turned down the heat and simmered it for another 10 minutes.
