Chapter 512: I will never return until I conquer Loulan
"There are five of us, each with a meat dish. If anyone has a specialty in vegetarian dishes, please share your unique ideas. As for the soup, it will depend on the dish." When it came to business, the fat man became serious.
"Five dishes, preferably including chicken, duck, fish and meat. For vegetarian dishes, it's best to match them with the five main dishes. If you can't match them, just cook your specialty. There should be plenty of time." Guan Yingxia suggested.
"Who wants to bring the meat first?"
"Okay, I'll go with An Fengrou." Wen Xinyuan raised his hand.
"Salt-baked chicken." said the fat man.
"House frog." Guan Yingxia said.
After the three of them reported the names of the dishes, they looked at Zhao Xiaojing. Zhao Xiaojing paused and signaled Yu Yiyuan to report first.
"Soft-shelled eel." Yu Yiyuandao.
Zhao Xiaojing was still hesitating.
Wen Xinyuan cooked pork, Fatty cooked chicken, Guan Yingxia cooked frog meat, and Wen Xinyuan cooked fish.
Logically speaking, it would be most appropriate to cook the duck yourself, but the Fairy Duck has been made before, and it would not be a good idea to cook the same dish twice if it is to be on a variety show. Moreover, the Fairy Duck requires too many ingredients, and we don’t know what the situation will be like in the competition. The more ingredients are needed, the more uncertainties there are.
There's chicken, fish, meat, and frog, but the pot-roasted pork elbow and Tong'an preserved pork are both pork dishes. So...
"Deep-fried and crispy." Zhao Xiaojing made the decision.
"You even know how to cook this?"
"Good boy, you haven't demonstrated it to us in the three days I've been there!"
"You're so familiar with me, but you still have something to hide!"
"No wonder you were the last one to name the dish. This is the finale!"
Fatty and Wen Xinyuan were both shocked.
"That's right, there is no chance to do it." Zhao Xiaojing's eyes flashed.
"Okay, time is limited, let's discuss vegetarian dishes." Guan Yingxia came out to help when she saw that the two wanted to talk more.
"How about Luohanzhai?" Wen Xinyuan suggested, pointing at the fat man.
"I have no objection. As long as you can compete in six games and win first place in every game, and prepare the eighteen kinds of vegetarian ingredients needed for Luohan Zhai, I will cook it." The fat man said coldly, folding his arms.
Wen Xinyuan was stunned when he heard this.
"What? Have you forgotten this question?" Looking at Wen Xinyuan's expression, the fat man said with a smile.
"I have to change the dish. Tong'an Fengrou has to have at least seven ingredients." Wen Xinyuan's face changed again and again.
The fat man snorted. "Why do you think I made salt-baked chicken instead of the Pine Crane Needle? And why didn't Yu Yiyuan make three-piece duck or soft-shelled eel? Because both of our dishes only require one ingredient! Sister Jingzi's uses two, and Sister Xia's uses a bit more, but not as much as yours. Besides, there aren't many dishes Taishi can make in such a short time. She can't do it. Look at you, tsk!"
"I, I can't just change to ginger duck!"
"Okay, why not?" The fat man was calm.
"That's great. Everyone's dishes are more reasonably matched, with chicken, duck, fish and meat. Let's continue talking about vegetarian dishes?" Zhao Xiaojing said with a smile.
"My dish requires four ingredients. In addition to frogs, I also need Jinhua ham, shiitake mushrooms, and Chinese broccoli. I don't need many shiitake mushrooms, and for Chinese broccoli, I only need Chinese broccoli sprouts. Let's see if any of these ingredients are needed for vegetarian dishes? Maybe we can solve them all at once." A hint of apology appeared on Guan Yingxia's face.
"Only four? I remember there were also spring bamboo shoots?" asked the fat man.
"Spring bamboo shoots can be reduced." Guan Yingxia paused.
"That's not necessary. I thought of a vegetarian dish, Shan Jia San Cui. It's just right for this season. It requires spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and the mushrooms can be replaced with oyster mushrooms." Yu Yiyuan said after being silent for a long time.
The fat man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Yes!"
"Then let's make another dish, broccoli with ginger sauce!" Wen Xinyuan also suggested.
"Yes." Guan Yingxia's brows relaxed.
"The requirement is eight or more ingredients, and we have exactly nine right now, with a soup left. Anyone got any ideas?"
"Chicken soup or duck soup is definitely not suitable, and egg soup is too ordinary. Our vegetarian dishes are already very vegetarian, and the meat dishes are not too greasy, so we can make a soup."
"West Lake Beef Soup?" Wen Xinyuan asked.
"West Lake Beef Soup, where are the ingredients?" the fat man said angrily.
Zhao Xiaojing chuckled. Isn't this a coincidence? "How about Song Sao's fish soup? Although it's fish, just like the soft-shelled eel, the two dishes are completely different in style. It shouldn't be a problem to use it as a soup. We already have bamboo shoots, ham, and mushrooms. We can use any leftover eel from Yu Yiyuan. Now all we need is a mandarin fish or sea bass."
“Great!”
"What a coincidence!"
Wen Xinyuan and the fat man laughed out loud.
Both of them had eaten Zhao Xiaojing’s Song Sao Fish Soup in the store and knew the quality and taste of it, so they immediately decided.
Once the ingredients were finalized, everyone discussed the details again and then sat there waiting for the competition to begin. Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the time, made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and quickly entered the cubicle and locked the door.
Are you kidding? Fried Double Crisps is the pinnacle of cooking with time-consuming techniques. She has only had the recipe for a few months. Even though the speed of the virtual space has increased, practicing every day is only equivalent to one or two years at most. How can she possibly master it?
The reason why she dared to order this dish was because she was thinking about the reward from the system last time, and she was ready to take a chance like a gambler.
"System, open the backpack, that thing, the Loulan Scroll." Zhao Xiaojing muttered to herself.
[Warm Tip: When using the "Unbreakable Loulan Never Return" experience scroll, the host's consciousness will be pulled into the learning module, entering a permanent state. This cannot be exited unless the goal is achieved and the host successfully exits, or suffers a mental breakdown or even insanity and brain death, with the physical body subsequently dying suddenly.]
Zhao Xiaojing took a deep breath.
Wen Xinyuan replaced the Tongan Fengrou with ginger duck. In fact, she was still struggling with whether to replace the fried double crisps with pan-roasted pork elbow.
But after seeing the cooking skills of Yu Yiyuan, Wen Xinyuan and Fatty, and tasting their salt-baked chicken and ginger duck, she knew clearly that the amount of pork elbow was not enough and changing it would be like admitting defeat.
Losing is not a big deal, and the ranking is not important, but if I miss this opportunity to learn from Nan Rongquan, I'm afraid it will be gone forever.
This kind of opportunity is precious to the fat guy who grew up in a family of chefs, let alone her.
She had finally seen the vast world of chefs and was eager to go one step further.
What's more, she has been practicing the Fried Double Crisps for a long time. Although her skills are still far from perfect, she is not like a headless fly.
All she needs is time.
Zhao Xiaojing gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
"System, use it. Set the target, oil explosion and double crisp."
[Undefeated Loulan, never return. Experiencing... Target: Deep-fried and crispy.]
The next second, Zhao Xiaojing found herself in a familiar learning module.
My tense mood relaxed in an instant when I saw the familiar kitchen, stove, and instructor.
It’s great that there are mentors. The system is still very kind.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you practice? You can learn the Fried and Crispy Dishes by just standing there?!" The virtual instructor started scolding.
Zhao Xiaojing's neck shrank.
Well, the system is still very humane. It was afraid that she would really go crazy, so it called the teacher to scold her. It was very good and full of life.
