What's the trick?
"Hahaha, that kid is such a jerk!"
"Pfft! That Lin Cheying is too pitiful!"
"That's so mean! I like it, hahaha!"
Staring at the direction Chu Yuan left, Lin Cheying glanced at the sword in his hand again, and suddenly felt a little confused. What on earth was going on in this battle?
"Boss, shall we... continue fighting?"
"It seems that Lin Cheying has strong fighting ability."
"Why are you fighting? That little bastard got away again!"
"Lin Cheying, you should be careful when helping others. They just left you and ran away. Isn't that embarrassing?"
"No more fighting!"
After looking at Lin Cheying, the big shot Kun Buxu thought seriously and decided to give up.
If you beat Chu Yuan, you can get an E-level weapon. But if you beat this guy, it feels like there's nothing good to be gained.
"That bastard... Damn it!"
Seeing the mocking expressions of the players around him, Lin Cheying's face darkened again. This bastard, his operation is too showy!
"Xiaoxiang Yeyu, you're back so soon?"
Seeing Chu Yuan come in, Shopkeeper Zhao once again put down his pen. He wondered what he was writing and drawing every day.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, I've already caught a hundred grasshoppers. Could you please lend me some of your restaurant's kitchenware? I heard you mentioned earlier that you wanted to develop a dish that would cook grasshoppers. I happen to know a recipe that would suit your idea, Shopkeeper Zhao."
After taking out the grasshoppers from the net bag, Chu Yuan did not give them to Manager Zhao immediately.
The hidden reward for this mission is not as simple as handing in the grasshopper.
"Oh? You mean, you know how to eat something like a grasshopper? Is it really edible?"
After hearing what Chu Yuan said, Shopkeeper Zhao's gaze suddenly focused on Chu Yuan's face.
Is this thing really edible?
"Of course, if it's cooked well, it's also a rare delicacy. Everything in the world has its own way of being eaten."
"Existence has its own methods of use...Okay, no problem. Come with me, I'll prepare a place for you."
"Ding! System prompt: NPC Shopkeeper Zhao's favorability towards you has increased by 5 points. Currently, Shopkeeper Zhao's favorability is 10 points."
After hesitating for a moment, Manager Zhao grabbed Chu Yuan and pulled him towards the kitchen.
If this could be accomplished, it would bring unimaginable benefits to the village.
It will even bring unimaginable benefits to the entire kingdom!
The kitchen is very lively, with three NPC chefs and two waiters busy doing something.
"Xiaoxiang Yeyu, what materials do you need? Ah Gou, come here, prepare whatever materials Xiaoxiang Yeyu needs for me immediately!"
"Ah? Boss, this guy doesn't even have a chef qualification, and you let him cook?"
"Ding! System prompt: NPC Zhao Agou's favorability towards you has decreased by 2 points. The current Zhao Agou favorability is -2 points."
After taking a look at Chu Yuan, the NPC named Zhao Agou frowned.
As a chef in a restaurant, should I help someone who is not a chef?
"Never mind that. What we're studying now is how to make grasshoppers into a dish. He has an idea, so let him try it. Haven't you chefs been able to come up with a suitable method?"
"You can't let someone who isn't a chef make it, right? What if it gets spoiled..."
"There's no such thing as a one-off. Since he's willing to contribute his ideas to this matter, even if something goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility for it."
"Moreover, do you think that a young man who is favored by Granny Hua and the village chief, and who understands pharmacology, can prepare poisonous food?"
Chu Yuan chuckled. Indeed, he didn't have a chef's qualification. But that just meant he couldn't learn the advanced cooking skills of a chef, not that he couldn't cook.
Is it difficult to make grasshoppers into food?
Not difficult!
"Manager Zhao, Zhao Agou, don't get excited. This grasshopper dish I made isn't complicated at all. Anyone can make it. Of course, the taste might be a little different. I'm just giving you an idea. The details will depend on your chef's skill."
Chu Yuan interrupted the argument between the two. He knew that if he couldn't prove himself in a place like the kitchen, he would not be able to gain the recognition of these chefs.
"Look, the young people are more polite than you. How did you become so old? Are you so backward?"
"Ding! System prompt: NPC Shopkeeper Zhao's favorability towards you has increased by 3 points. Currently, Shopkeeper Zhao's favorability is 13 points."
"Shopkeeper Zhao, I don't need many ingredients. Just water, vegetable oil, cumin powder, chili powder, and fine salt."
Chu Yuan interrupted their conversation and didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.
There are more important things waiting for you later!
"Is that all you have? Ah Gou, go get ready!"
With the help of Shopkeeper Zhao, and since these are all commonly used items, it is very easy to prepare!
And Chu Yuan, under the guidance of Shopkeeper Zhao, successfully used a method that only a chef could master to quickly deal with the defecation of the grasshopper.
If this were the real world, it would take at least two days to process the stool, otherwise...
"Agou, heat up the oil pan."
"First, you need to boil the grasshoppers in water to remove any impurities, and then you can fish them out."
"And what we need to do next is very simple. When the oil temperature reaches 40% hot, we will fry the grasshoppers we have fished out."
"Don't fry it for too long. Grasshoppers are easy to crisp up, so two or three minutes is enough. If you like them crispy, you can fry them for a minute or two longer, but don't fry them for too long, otherwise they will get burnt."
