Chapter 17 Intermediate Chef
The selection of famous snacks in Meitan County is scheduled to be held at Tianhu Hotel on August 30 and 31.
Tianhu Hotel is a five-star hotel located on the banks of the Meijiang River in Meitan County.
Unlike ordinary hotels, Tianhu Hotel is a large teapot more than 70 meters high. It is a national 4A-level scenic spot and one of the top ten charming attractions in Qianzhou Province.
This large teapot is a landmark building of Mei Tan. It has passed Guinness certification and is the largest physical teapot in the world today. It is known as the world's number one pot. Therefore, the hotel hidden inside the teapot is named "Tianhu Hotel".
Tianhu Hotel is the reception unit for famous snacks, and Zhou Xianying is the general manager of Tianhu Hotel. Therefore, she knows the number of people participating in the selection of famous snacks.
She told Rao Mingyang that so far, more than 200 people have signed up.
Zhou Xianying predicts that by the time the selection event begins, there will be approximately 300 people bringing their own food to participate in the Meitan famous snack selection event.
These delicacies include stinky tofu, kebabs, toothpick meat, fried potatoes, egg-wrapped skewers, ice powder, jelly, hot pot, wild game, fried rice, mutton noodles and other hundreds of snacks.
It is actually not easy to stand out among so many delicacies, get the top eight, and be qualified to participate in the Zunyi City Famous Snacks Selection.
Therefore, in order to participate in this selection and win the award, in addition to improving the taste of chicken soup, Rao Mingyang also wants to improve his cooking skills.
Although it is very simple to cook soup powder, cook mung bean powder, add chicken soup, add seasonings, pickled cabbage, crispy meat, and chopped green onion, and you can cook everything you can do.
The selection of famous snacks is not a competition that tests the chef's level, and there are no rigid requirements for the chef's operation process.
But if Rao Mingyang can improve his cooking skills and show the beauty of a professional chef in the process of cooking soup noodles, it will undoubtedly leave a better impression on the judges.
To improve your cooking skills, you can only rely on the system except to study at Chef School.
When he went to the chef's school to study, Rao Mingyang naturally had no time, so he could only hope for the lottery in the food system.
After more than half a month of accumulation, he conquered the taste of dozens of guests every day. Rao Mingyang's cumulative achievement points have reached more than 1,900 points, and the balance of the achievement points is still a few dozen points away, and the lottery can be held again.
According to the system, if you are lucky, you may get a cooking skill book, and you can directly become a junior chef after learning.
In this way, Rao’s unfamiliar cooking skills can be raised to the level of a graduate of a chef’s school.
Therefore, Rao Mingyang is looking forward to the balance of achievement points reaching 1,000, then a lottery draw and draw a cooking skill book.
On August 26, when the selection of famous snacks was still 3 days away, Rao Mingyang's cumulative achievement points finally exceeded 2,000, and the balance of achievement points reached 1,000 points.
In the evening, after dinner, after returning to his bedroom, Rao Mingyang couldn't wait to turn on the food system and start the lottery.
The lottery box rolled quickly, and Rao Mingyang couldn't help but worship the gods and Buddhas in his heart, looking forward to drawing a cooking skill book for him.
After half a minute, Rao Mingyang nervously clicked the "Stop" button.
Then, the lottery box quickly stopped and a line of text popped up: 1 cooking skill book.
Rao Mingyang waved his fist excitedly and shouted: "Yeah!"
Tian Wenying's voice came downstairs: "Mingyang, what are you calling?"
"Nothing, I'm playing games!"
Rao Mingyang responded, then clicked on the system package and saw a blue book lying in the second grid of the system package. The first grid was several packs of broth essence powder prepared by Rao Mingyang.
However, when Rao Mingyang wanted to take out the cooking skills book and read it, he found that he could not get it out at all.
At this moment, the system spoke out: "Cooking skills books are items that cannot appear in the real world. The host can double-click to learn directly!"
"So that's it!" Rao Mingyang nodded.
Such objects that do not conform to science should not appear in the real world.
Then, Rao Mingyang double-clicked the skill book with his mind. The skill book turned into a stream of light, flew out of the system screen, and rushed into Rao Mingyang's body.
The next moment, I felt a mysterious feeling in my mind.
He thought about mung bean powder, and information about how much mung bean powder is put, how long to cook, how much seasoning, how much chicken soup is scoop, how much green onion is sprinkled, and so on, as if it was his original skill.
By the way, how to boil chicken soup, how many seasonings to add, and how big the heat will appear clearly in Rao Mingyang's mind.
I thought about fried rice again, and immediately saw information on what kind of cold rice you want, how much oil and salt you want, how much heat you heat up, how to stir the pot and other information.
Moreover, Rao Mingyang felt that his body had changed a little. He clenched his fists with his hands and felt that his hands were much stronger.
Chefs are physical jobs, and they have to stir-fry rice and dishes. Obviously, this cooking skill book has adjusted Rao Mingyang's physical condition to the level of physical strength that can adapt to the junior chefs.
Then, Rao Mingyang thought about the Manhan banquet again, but his mind was blank and there was no information left.
It seems that junior chefs cannot master the cooking skills of Manhan full chess, and can only master some ordinary cooking skills, which is also in line with the title of junior chef.
The next morning, Rao Mingyang went to the store to prepare. When he was cutting sauerkraut, crispy meat, and onions, he found that his knife skills had improved, his speed had accelerated, and his movements had become more beautiful. The crispy meat and onions he cut out became even and beautiful.
When the chicken soup was cooked, Rao Mingyang cooked himself a bowl of mung bean powder for breakfast. When he was cooking the powder, he also mastered the amount of seasonings more accurately. The taste of mung bean powder seemed to have improved a little more.
Rao Mingyang was very excited to feel the earth-shaking changes in his cooking skills.
After learning the cooking skills book and obtaining the skills of a junior chef, Rao Mingyang's system menu has an additional chef skill, and the skill bar above is displayed as 0. To upgrade to an intermediate chef, 10 skill points are required, that is, 10 cooking skills books.
After Rao Mingyang won the cooking skills book in the lottery, the shopping mall also saw products of cooking skills book, and the price was 1 gold coin per book, which was equivalent to RMB 1,000 per book.
Rao Mingyang has made more than 20,000 yuan in profits in the past half month, and he still has 10,000 yuan in buying ten skill books.
So, after the closing afternoon, he went to the bank to withdraw 10,000 yuan and rushed into the system, bought ten cooking skills books and learned it, and improved his cooking skills to the level of an intermediate chef.
Then, Rao Mingyang saw that the skill point required to upgrade from an intermediate chef to a senior chef turned into 100, which is 100 skill books, 100,000 yuan.
