Chapter 21: The Man Behind the Pot
At the dinner table, the father and mother were full of praise for the dishes made by their son, especially knowing that no matter whether they made it delicious or not, their parents would finish it, which was home-cooked food and the taste of happiness.
At this moment, he seems to have an understanding of the artistic conception in the two dishes of "Eight Treasures of Sea Stew" and "Nine Turns of Large Intestine", the lonely smoke of the desert, the sunset of the long river, the blood-colored remnant sun, the golden iron horse, the horn drum contention, the neighing of the sword and halberd, and on the other side is poetry and songs, the literati cook wine and discuss delicacies, and ask the wine to the moonlight..." Dishes made in different environments will have different flavors, which is perhaps the highest level of a chef - cooking according to the time and place.
"Drop, congratulations to the host for understanding "Eight Treasures of Sea Stew" and "Nine Turns of the Large Intestine", and the ancient Shaolin kitchen recipe is unsealed. The system prompted.
In an instant, there was a thick book in the sea of knowledge in You's hand.
"Drop, congratulations to the host for officially inheriting the ancient Shaolin kitchen recipes, the system rewards a "black pot", this pot is the only god pot in the kitchen world, there is the ability to scoop the sea and cook all things, but also a psychic pot, the dishes cooked by it not only have the aura of food can also benefit the qi and nourish the element, this pot can also communicate with the "pot owner" soul, to achieve the realm of real "heart" cooking.
"Black cauldron?" You always felt that the name was weird.
"Congratulations to the host for bringing together the three-piece set of "knives, spoons, and pots" in the kitchen world, and from now on, the host has officially become the first "pot man" in history. Qiuqiu came out and said.
"Get out, I don't want to be a backbiter. You said with a black line on his face.
"Legend has it that the knife in the left hand, the spoon in the right hand, and the black pot on the back" can summon the eighteen bronze men of Shaolin. Qiuqiu seducted.
"What, it's really fake, you didn't lie to me? You can really summon the eighteen bronze people of Shaolin, You Yishou immediately became interested.
"Qiuqiu is right, but it can only be summoned if the host's life is threatened. The housekeeper Ni Mei said.
"Uh, okay. "You were disappointed.
The duty of the back-pot man is to "cook well", so that all the toiling people in the world can taste the world's peerless deliciousness. The housekeeper Ni Mei said.
"So what do I need to do?"
"After the host's cooking skills are successful, you need to go out to learn the arts, and you must make a delicious dish for the local poor people everywhere you go, and each time you complete a task, the host can take any three rare ingredients from the three gardens of ancient Shaolin, ten mountains and one sea to bring to the outside world. The housekeeper Ni Mei said.
"Oh. This can still be done by You, because Daddy You Dascoo is a good example, the latter refuses to work in the county government canteen, and only wants to cook for the rural people. ”
Please keep in mind the mission of the "Bearer Hero", and don't forget the original intention. ”
······
You who have nothing to do is ready to study the legendary "ancient Shaolin kitchen recipe", according to Qiuqiu, this recipe includes and records all the biographies and miscellaneous talks about food in the history of China for 5,000 years, known as omniscient and omniscient, it is simply a "Chinese Food Dictionary", especially in the sea of knowledge, you carefully checked the recipe, the recipe is divided into multiple volumes, from the opening of the Chen banquet, the seasoning, to the quality of various ingredients, origin, storage, Cooking, etc., can be said to be all-inclusive, which focuses on the ancient Shaolin vegetable garden, poultry garden, orchard, 100,000 mountains and Shaolin Houhai, which is marked: "The ingredients needed in the ancient Shaolin recipe must complete the corresponding tasks to obtain" This point makes You feel bitter, it is hard enough to grow vegetables, this time you have to complete the task to get the ingredients, it's too pit.
Now the system is not open to him except for the Shaolin Houhai, the rest of the places he can go in and out at will, here, the vegetable garden is just planted with some ordinary vegetables, the orchard has not been developed, the poultry garden only raises some chickens, ducks and geese and a fish pond, which are all ordinary fish, Qiuqiu told him that if you want to get seafood and mussels, you can only go to Shaolin Houhai to fish, but he can't enter there now, because the recipe is too much, You Yishou only read the preface, but one thing he understands very well, that is, he can't do the dishes on the recipe now.
Ancient Shaolin kitchen
You stood in front of the stove with one hand, holding his breath, holding the black pot in his left hand, and holding the dog spoon in his right hand, only to see his mind move, the stove fire door immediately ignited a raging flame, it is said that the ancient Shaolin kitchen burned all the apple wood from the orchard, it was too luxurious, You practiced the pot meat and minced eggplant, the oil is from the 100,000 mountains to pick and press the vegetable oil, the seasoning is also taken from the Dawan Mountain, of course, the latter did not go deep, but picked some exotic fruits at the entrance for seasoning, pork is raised in the poultry garden" Tianxiang spirit pig", this pig is the best in the pig, eat is the spirit grass and drink the sweet spring water, absorb the aura of heaven and earth every day to grow into 7749 days, it can be seen that its preciousness, it is said that the gods eat all the aftertaste, especially the meat used by the hand is the 10 piglets he raised in the poultry garden at the beginning, and now he has killed one.
In this way, You Yishou learned to cook with his father during the day, and entered the system to practice at night, and now You Yishou can only be regarded as a junior chef, there are so many dishes in the world, and he is still on the road of exploration and learning, You Yishou has not thought about taking the ingredients in the system to the outside world, but the housekeeper Nimei told him that now is not the time.
Three days later, You Dascoo took over a full moon banquet, because the main family invited not many people only 8 tables of dishes, You Dascoo was ready to let You Yishou take charge of the spoon, mainly because the host of the banquet was Zhao Weiquan's relative, which is why You Dascoo was relieved to let the latter take charge of the spoon.
Early the next morning, You Yishou got up early to prepare, today is the first time he took charge of the stove to make a banquet, Dad told him, if he is done he can be out of the teacher, the menu is You Dasco to help You Yishou prepare, a total of 20 dishes, cold dishes are: chopped pepper preserved eggs, cold jellyfish, seven male roast chicken, spiced beef, hanging frosted peanuts, boiled prawns, red oil pig ears, cold salad three silks

Soup: White fungus lotus seed soup
Fruit plate: Assorted fruit assortment
Among them, except for the whole chicken, red stewed elbow, and plum cabbage button meat are cooked by You Dascoop, the rest will be done by himself independently, originally You was ready to take out the "black pot" with one hand, but he thought that he was afraid of arousing his father's suspicion, so he dispelled this idea.
"Drop, congratulations to the host for successfully cooking the table, and the system will reward a "Baiwei box", which contains hundreds of spices for the host to choose. At this time, the system beef.
Looking at the shiny small box in the system's storage space, You Yi said, "Baiwei box?
"Baiwei box, ranked third among the top ten kitchenware in the kitchen industry, the spices in it are all rare and precious medicinal materials, and often only 2-3 kinds of spices are needed to make the originally plain ingredients become extremely fragrant. The housekeeper Ni Mei said.
"Didn't you say that you can't bring out the things in the system?" muttered You.
"The Baiwei Box is rewarded to the host by the system, and after the spices in it are used up, they need to enter the 100,000 Mountains to pick and prepare them. The housekeeper Ni Mei said.
"Okay, whatever you say is what you say" You said helplessly, really responding to the sentence "You can take what I give you, and if you take what I don't give you, you steal it." ”
However, it is better than nothing, at least you can try how the dishes will change after putting the spices of the system.
