The long string of messages from the system left Ye Feng somewhat overwhelmed.
Ye Feng's expression suddenly froze.
etc!
It seems there's some very important information mixed in!
Ye Feng stared at the positive review of the shady fried green onion and fell into deep thought.
Which fellow disciple has such a strong sense of curiosity?
For a moment, I didn't know how to deal with it.
Forget it, let's check the recipe first, and pretend we don't know anything about this...
【Fish-flavored shredded pork - Rating 1 star. Mainly made with the finest tenderloin from the hind leg of free-range pigs.】
The finished dish has a reddish-brown color, tender and juicy shredded meat, a delicious sour and spicy flavor, and a rich fish aroma.
[Effects: Slightly nourishes the kidneys and blood, and strengthens the body]
Crystal Shrimp Dumplings - Rating: 1 star. The skin is as white as snow and as thin as a cicada's wing, with the meat filling faintly visible.
Its flavor is smooth, refreshing, and extremely delicious.

[Effects: Rich in vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial for children's growth and development.]
It has a strong attraction to demons and can be used in combination with healthy vegetable juice and fried green onions.
Ah, this...
Little Red Makeup, your brother might have to apologize to you. I hope you'll be a child who isn't a picky eater.
...
"Senior brother, what time is it?"
“Junior brother, you have asked this question five times in the same hour.”
"Oh, what time is it?"
"You Shi (5-7 PM), you damned You Shi!"
"Hey, Junior Brother Ye, why are you closing the door? I feel like I could eat another 10 bowls."
...
"Senior sister, shall we go to Junior Brother Ye's place for lunch again tomorrow at noon?"
"Heh, junior sister, you're still too young. If you want to eat there at noon, you'll have to wait until after 1 p.m.!"
"Senior Sister is so thoughtful. Shall we set off at Chen Shi (7-9 AM)?"
"Very good."
...
Ye Feng then returned to the small kitchen in his cave dwelling.
With a new recipe, it's natural to familiarize yourself with it.
I used to make this dish, Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce), often to eat with rice, so it's not unfamiliar to me.
This dish has been eaten by almost everyone on Earth, and it is available in the vast majority of restaurants.
It's easy to make something delicious, and it's easy to make it excellent, but it's difficult to make it perfect.
It took a lot of hard work to make it back then.
The first thing that needs to be tested in making a perfect Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce) is knife skills.
Both the pork and the bamboo shoots should be cut into thick shreds.
The standard for coarse wire is 10 cm long, 0.3 cm wide, and 0.3 cm thick.
Then, quickly and steadily cut the magnolia, black fungus, green bell pepper, and carrot into thin strips.
This is the only way to control the cooking time of various side dishes.
Slicing, marinating, and seasoning—every step was done meticulously.
Heat oil in a pan, add meat and stir-fry until it changes color, then add the previously marinated fermented bean paste.
Pour the shredded vegetables into the pot, and then pour the fish-fragrant sauce along the edge of the pot.
Stir-fry and serve; a perfect plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce is ready.
The system notification tone then sounded immediately.
[Perfect Yu Xiang Rou Si - Rating 1 star. Exquisite knife skills on display.]
The side dishes and sauce were perfectly matched. I can only give it 1 star; I apologize to the system.
This is a perfect work that surpasses all standards.
[First completion of Perfect-grade Yu Xiang Rou Si (Fish-flavored Shredded Pork) rewards 10 allocable attribute points and +10 cultivation level]
Ye Feng paused for a moment, then posed a probing question to the system.
"Other systems' newbie gift packs might include things like swordsmanship mastery and the God's Tongue."
Why do I only have recipes and cultivation levels here?
As the system, I apologize. The swordsmanship was originally present.
However, the host's swordsmanship is too strong, and this system cannot do anything about it.
Sigh, I guess I'm just not cut out for the main character.
This system is terrible.
Sensing the host's disdain, the system felt pitiful, weak, and helpless.
It's more accurate to call itself a shackle than a system...
...
Ye Feng was so engrossed in making the food that he forgot about the system.
He discovered a problem.
You don't need to follow the steps and ingredients in the recipes provided by the system when cooking.
As long as the main ingredients are the same, the dish being made is still the same dish.
You can freely improvise with the side dishes and ingredients.
Looking at the recipes provided by the system, Ye Feng's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
With standards like that, I'd be embarrassed to serve it at the table!
Take out the large green shrimp that had just died and been placed in the jade slip.
Remove the head, shell, and vein from the shrimp.
While the shrimp meat isn't looking, add salt and starch, and knead, move, and slap it until it becomes shrimp paste.
This step is essential; it's crucial for achieving the bouncy and chewy texture of the shrimp dumpling filling.
Once you've slammed a shrimp into a ball, you're all set.
Diced pieces of white, fatty pork from free-range pigs, pepper to remove the fishy smell, and white sugar to enhance the flavor are placed in a bowl.
Add some fresh water chestnut pieces, then knead, move, and toss.
After preparing the meat filling, the dough is also of utmost importance.
Unlike regular steamed buns, crystal shrimp dumplings require boiling water to make the dough.
Add water while stirring until the mixture is thoroughly scalded.
Spread the scalded dough on top, sprinkle with some lard and cornstarch, and then start folding and pressing.
This dough can't be kneaded properly; it must be layered and pressed one layer at a time to take shape.
After cutting the dough into pieces, flatten them with your palm.
Press the back of the knife against it and rub it clockwise and counterclockwise in a circle.
A round, thin piece of skin is now complete.
The rest is easy; after wrapping the buns, arrange them neatly in the steamer.
Steam for five minutes and it's ready to serve.
【Perfect Crystal Shrimp Dumplings - Rating 1 star. Crystal clear, smooth and fragrant.】
[Anything produced by the host is guaranteed to be of high quality]
...
The next day, the little girl in red was still waiting outside the small canteen early as usual.
Her originally thin cheeks had become somewhat rounder.
The magnificent sunrise slowly rises, and the colorful clouds float in the sky like strands of gold.
The reflection on the little girl added an extra touch of cuteness.
The two got along very well, kneading dough and washing vegetables together.
After yesterday's incident, Ye Feng gained a new understanding of the strength of his fellow disciples who were also foodies.
Fortunately, with the help of various magical techniques, otherwise it would probably have taken several days just to prepare the ingredients for one meal.
Before Chen Shi (7-9 AM), people were already starting to gather at the entrance of the small canteen.
"I didn't expect you to arrive so early, senior brother. I admire you."
"Junior sister is not late either, we are indeed kindred spirits."
"Likewise, hehehehe."
By the time Ye Feng finished preparing the ingredients, he realized that they had already flown three times over in the sky.
Suddenly I realized I might need to reassess the abilities of my fellow foodies.
Those at the top of the list are already eager to get started.
"Junior Brother Ye, give me one of each of the five dishes."
Especially that healthy vegetable juice; my junior brother Jue Ming said it was delicious.
Ye Feng said with a serious expression:
"Brother Jueming has the best taste, so his recommendations are definitely not bad."
"We've already had seven dishes today, would you like to try them all, senior brother?"
Blue cheese requires fermentation and cannot be made in just one or two days.
Moreover, this food item has already been reserved by the customer.
Aside from some that was given to the sect, the rest was used to nourish Xiao Hongzhuang's body!
As for the seven foods I recommended to my fellow disciples...
In any case, given the physical condition of a cultivator, they certainly wouldn't die from eating it.
Whether I gain weight or not is none of my business.
"Then bring seven dishes. Junior Brother Ye's creations are always top-notch. We're in for a treat today."
...
"Senior sister, do we still want this healthy vegetable juice?"
"Absolutely! I've already seen several fellow disciples who are here for the first time."
How could we not let them try something so delicious?
"Then we don't need to drink it again, do we? I really can't quite grasp the taste."
"They're all as cunning as monkeys; you don't necessarily need them if you don't want them."
Besides, didn't Junior Brother Ye say that healthy vegetable juice can also beautify the skin?
"What? It has this function too? We definitely need it! Junior Brother Ye, save two portions of the healthy vegetable juice for Senior Sister!"
...
Shenqing Zhenjun, leading a group of Supreme Elders, arrived late.
Seeing this extremely lively scene, all the bigwigs were dumbfounded.
I saw those red-clad women making all sorts of noises, like "ah-hoo" and "ah-hoo," while working as quality inspectors there.
They almost popped their eyes out.
"Shenqing, is that Hongzhuang, that little rascal?"
Shenqing Zhenjun nodded and said, "Senior Brother Jianming, it is indeed that little girl Hongzhuang."
She has already recognized Junior Brother Ye as her older brother, and the two get along very well.
Elder Jianming's eyes were a little moist.
The entire Sword Sect cherishes this posthumous child of the Fire Phoenix.
But unfortunately, I had no experience and didn't know how to take care of the child.
Seeing her so happy now fills me with immense joy.
Shenqing Zhenjun continued, "Junior Brother Ye not only created a treasure that can fight against the Calamity Demon."
Their culinary skills are exceptional; you senior brothers might want to give them a try.
"Oh? Judging from the way the disciples look at it, it must be incredibly delicious. Let's go try it."
The men were naturally well-mannered and would not use their power to intimidate others.
He was placed at the end of the line as the disciples paid their respects.
Fortunately, Ye Feng was fast enough that he didn't keep the big shots waiting for too long.
He didn't fight with the other disciples for a seat while carrying his food.
They flew straight up into the sky and used a piece of white cloud as a table and chair.
Elder Jianming took a bite of the crystal shrimp dumpling and commented, shaking his head:
"The outer skin is crystal clear and the taste is incredibly delicious. It is truly the best delicacy I have ever eaten in my life."
I took another bite of shredded pork with garlic sauce:
"The meat is tender and fresh, with a perfect combination of sour, sweet, and spicy flavors."
After saying that, he glanced at his junior brothers and nephews who were wolfing down their food and said displeasedly:
"This is uncivilized. How can you eat such a disheveled meal?"
Hey! Put my shrimp dumplings down right now!
They actually ambushed me! They have no regard for the bonds of brotherhood whatsoever.
He snatched his shrimp dumplings back from his junior's chopsticks.
Elder Jianming also completely abandoned any pretense of self-respect.
"Snoring," "slurping," "slurping," "smacking"
The place was bustling with the atmosphere of a marketplace, and there was no trace of its former paradise.
