"By the way, I just got a cooking illustrated book from the system, and I don't know what it is for? It can't be similar to a cooking note, right?"

Zheng Ke took out the cooking illustrated book from the system, and after opening it, one by one the annotations appeared in his mind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This illustrated book is a business prop, there are two parts, the first part is to choose a restaurant, you can choose a host to participate in the operation of the restaurant (LV1). The second part is the Cooking Illustrated Cookbook, and the host can add 10 dishes. The chef prepares a 10% bonus for the 10 dishes he cooks in the selected restaurant. In this restaurant, after the turnover reaches 10 million Huaxia Coins, it will be automatically upgraded to LV2, +1 for the selected restaurant, and +10 for the selected cuisine. ”

Zheng Ke blinked his eyes, looked at it for five minutes, and finally understood this so-called "cooking illustrated".

This cooking illustrated book has nothing to do with the improvement of his own strength. Its focus is really on running a restaurant.

To put it simply, Zheng Ke can choose a restaurant and register it on the cooking book, and at the same time, he can also add 10 dishes in the corresponding location. As long as you are the chef of this restaurant, you will get a 10% bonus for cooking these 10 dishes in this restaurant. When the turnover of the restaurant reaches 10 million Chinese coins, the Cooking Guide will be upgraded, and there will be an additional restaurant slot, and the number of dishes that can be added will also increase by 10.

Among them, the selected restaurant cannot be changed, and 10 dishes can be replaced.

There is no doubt that this is a good thing, especially after Zheng Ke graduates, if you want to open a restaurant, you must use the Illustrated Cookbook. However, now for him, this prop is of little use.

It's better to give two more stamina beans...... No, one will do.

Suddenly, Zheng Ke was discouraged and his whole body was weak.

It is true that he won against Saito Masaki, but the recipe for the next match is still unsettled.

"That...... Student, can you fill in the ingredients you will use in the next game?" the staff knocked on the door and said softly.

"Oh. ”

Zheng Ke sat up from the sofa, took the form, and stopped for half a minute with the pen, but he couldn't write a word.

"The latest time I can give it to you. Zheng Ke really didn't know what to choose for a while.

The dish he prepared also had a dish of smoked stone chicken, but if he wanted to use this dish to compete with Si Yingshi, he was expected to lose all his pants.

Although Si Yingshi is currently only ranked fourth, his ranking in the current top ten is still the highest in the first and second grades.

"Twenty minutes at most, and then push back, we don't really have time to prepare. The staff said with a sad face.

"Twenty minutes, will you come again? I'm going to think about what I'm going to cook." Zheng Ke said.

The staff nodded and exited the room.

Zheng Ke rubbed his temples, he really looked like a soldier who had run out of ammunition now, and in front of Si Yingshi, there was no food that he could handle.

Anyway, it's already in the top five......

However, I really don't want to...... Obviously, I have come here, and I can fight against the strongest in the second grade...... I really don't want to give up like that......

Which one to choose?

Smoked stone chicken, snowflake crab, jade pearl abalone...... Or French food?

Zheng Ke's mind is messed up, and there is no suitable food at all.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Zheng Ke, whose consciousness began to become blurred, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the door, only to find Ye Qiuling standing at the door with a smile on his face.

"Senior Ye?" Zheng Ke hurriedly stood up from the sofa, "Why are you here." ”

"It's okay, just walk around. Ye Qiuling walked into the lounge and glanced at the table on the coffee table, "Haven't decided on any dishes yet?"

"yes, I always feel ...... No matter what kind of food I take, I can't defeat Senior Si Yingshi. Zheng Ke sighed, looking helpless.

Ye Qiuling nodded, "I know, in fact, with Si Yingshi's strength, he shouldn't have appeared in the fourth place. So, I was surprised by that ranking...... Zheng Ke, from my point of view, it is beyond my expectation that you can defeat Saito Shoaki. As for the match between you and Si Yingshi, I'm not optimistic about it, you ...... There is a 90% chance that you will lose the game. ”

"Isn't there a 10% chance that I'll win? And, senior, it's been so hard to get to this point, let me give up, I really can't do it. Zheng Ke showed a shallow smile, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"But you can't even find a decent recipe right now. Ye Qiuming said bluntly.

Zheng Ke was dumbfounded, this is indeed the place that gives him the most headaches.

Seeing Zheng Ke's tangled appearance, Ye Qiuming also shook his head, originally he just thought that this kind of competition mode was more fun, but he didn't expect to hurt Zheng Ke in the end. So much so that when he faced Zheng Ke, he also had a trace of ...... in his heart Well, self-blame doesn't count, a little guilty, right?

Therefore, he felt that it was necessary for him to pull Zheng Ke, although only the little finger was stretched out.

"Zheng Ke, look at me!" Ye Qiuling said suddenly.

Zheng Ke, who was depressed about choosing food, heard Ye Qiuling's words and looked at him with a confused expression.

"Senior, what's the matter?"

"Answer me, what is your ideal dish? Don't think about the ingredients, don't think about the recipe, tell me what kind of food you want to make, and give you the most sense of accomplishment. Ye Qiuling asked.

"Cooking?" Zheng Ke was stunned for a moment, and then all kinds of dishes were stuffed into his mind.

Western food, Japanese food, Chinese food, or those high-end dishes?

No...... Truly delicious food is one that will move people and make them unforgettable for a lifetime.

"I ......"

The memories of the past year continue to echo in Zheng Ke's mind, and an image gradually becomes clear.

At the time of the Tsuki-Dumpling Festival, he, Kinokuni Nene and Eiyama Edazin discussed together what good food is.

That time, although the results were not discussed, that experience planted a seed in Zheng Ke's heart. Now reminded by Ye Qiuling, Zheng Ke finally remembered.

"The dishes that give me the most sense of accomplishment...... It has nothing to do with the ingredients, and it has nothing to do with the grade of the cuisine. It doesn't have to be a high-end cuisine, and it doesn't have to be a common cuisine, but it must be a dish that ordinary people have the opportunity to eat and feel happy from the bottom of their hearts. Zheng Ke's eyes suddenly brightened, "Senior, this is my ideal cuisine." ”

Ye Qiuling nodded, "So, my suggestion is to make a dish you want to make." Even if you can't get the approval of the judges, at least, you can make your guests happy. ”

"I kind of know what I'm going to do. Zheng Ke took a deep breath, did it, picked up the signature pen, and filled out the form.
