Chapter 92: The Battle of Time.
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Ash didn't make a decision right away, because system tasks didn't have to be accepted or rejected immediately, and as was customary, she had a half-month grace period.
So, she decided to put it off for the time being, and one more day of delay would give her one more day to think.
Of course, Ash wasn't thinking about accepting or rejecting the mission, and she certainly didn't want to go abroad. For her, this ultimate task is to replicate the failed life experience of the previous life and let her go abroad to do it all over again, the only difference is that she wants to rewrite the ending.
Relying on the food system to dominate the world and become the top three-star Michelin chef, Ash will definitely agree without blinking an eye.
However, now it is different, and now she has too many ties.
The relationship between the family is very harmonious, and the ending of the grandfather is different from the previous life, he did not end up depressed, but took care of his old age. She didn't dare to guarantee that if she accepted the mission and went abroad again, her grandfather would still be the same as now.
The friends are all very good, Ying Zheng, Fan Xiang, Su Yang, and Oliver are all very good, and Ash can't guarantee that he can maintain a good relationship with them after he goes abroad.
There is also Fang Yizhou, although the two of them don't meet often, they still keep in touch on the phone. Ash felt that Fang Yizhou's way of doing things was very compatible, and now that they were struggling in their respective careers, it would be just a matter of course for them to be together in the future.
Therefore, the current Ash can't let go of too much. Moreover, she didn't want to copy the life of the previous life, and she was quite satisfied with it this time.
Ash didn't want to compromise with the system every time, so no matter how much the system reminded her, she didn't care for the time being.
It was summer vacation, and all my friends went home, even Oliver. Ash travels back and forth between her home and the restaurant alone, racking her brain to wonder how she can break the deadlock.
At first, she was also clueless, and seeing that halfway through the time, Ash began to panic. But at this time, she had no choice but to think slowly.
Finally—
When he had his first foreign customer at Shiheng Restaurant, Ash figured it out.
Perhaps, the breakthrough of this [ultimate mission] will be opened from Oliver!
Ash remembered that she had also failed the previous mission twice, triggering the punishment mission twice. But without exception, when she overtime completed the original task, she still got a reward, and the system will still take the "late victory" into account!
So, does this mean that as long as she can complete the task, then no matter what method is used, how to go against the requirements of the system?!
Just like the [Business Storm] task, follow your own pace, step by step, as long as you can resist the punishment task of the system, everything will still have room to turn around!
With this in mind, Ash seized the last week and contacted Oliver.
Because Oliver is supposed to be the "food detective" of the Michelin Guide, maybe even Oliver's parents don't know now, but Ash, who has memories of his previous life, knows the secret.
The goal of [Ultimate Mission] is to make her a top three-star Michelin chef, so the most convenient way for her is to make Shiheng Restaurant a three-star Michelin restaurant.
In the current situation, it will take some time for Shiheng Restaurant to enter the Michelin field, and the most convenient thing is to attract the attention of the Michelin guide through Oliver, a "food detective".
Of course, Ash couldn't have asked Oliver to recommend Shiheng Restaurant to Michelin directly, which would be too unfriendly and too emotional.
She simply contacted Oliver to ask when he would be back in China so that he could continue to serve as a food tasting, while also welcoming his friends.
Inviting a friend's friend to try the dish is something that friends do in the first place, and Ash is already working on a new dish, so it's not a lie.
Luckily, Oliver told her that his friend had booked three spots on the restaurant's website. A month later, they will travel to China, where they will come to Shiheng Restaurant to try Ash's new cuisine.
When Ash heard this, he immediately suspected that Oliver might have recommended Shiheng Restaurant to Michelin, and maybe next month's tasting would be the first test.
In fact, "Cooking Wars" was so popular a while ago that even CCTV reported it, maybe there are already Chinese "food detectives" who have tried the dishes in advance!
Ash didn't say a word about the task, and he didn't urge Oliver, but regretfully said that he could only urge Su Yang to come back and try the dishes for her.
She really couldn't take her friend's request for granted, and finally decided to solve the time gap herself.
Because Ash knew in his heart that Oliver might have helped her secretly, and his two friends were willing to come to China to try the food, maybe Oliver was the one who was in the middle.
So, she didn't want Oliver to pay more.
So, in addition to being the head chef, Ash has two other major things to worry about.
The first is to find a way to delay the half-month deadline of the system, and the second is to start trying out new dishes to satisfy the taste of the Michelin "food detective".
At first, she wondered if she should add a molecular dish, after all, the chef of the Paragraph Symbol restaurant might not have come up with those ideas in this year. Molecular cuisine is undoubtedly absolutely avant-garde at this time of year in China, and even new and delicious in the world.
But Ash eventually gave up on the idea because it was too dishonorable and irresponsible.
Not to mention the inspiration of the chef who really copied the "paragraph symbol" at that time, she just borrowed and transformed the content, but in essence, it was the same as other people's dishes. If she changes too much in this way, and ends up causing a butterfly effect, no one knows what impact it will have on the chef of the "paragraph symbol" in the end, and she can't use other people's lives as bargaining chips for her own success.
Besides, the Michelin Guide is not only judged by taste and innovative form, but also sometimes by historical heritage and the personal precipitation of the chef.
She remembers a Japanese chef who made sushi all his life, but he did it to the extreme, and his grasp of sushi was indeed accurate and authentic, but his quality was more worthy of recognition. As a result, Michelin also awarded him three stars.
Moreover, Ash doesn't want to do it all over again, and in the end her life is still a failure, she hopes to rely on her own skills to reach the top 100%.
In the end, she gave up the method of taking shortcuts, and was ready to use her strength to conquer Michelin's "food detective".
Therefore, the only thing Ash has to do at the moment, except for experimenting with new dishes, is to stall for time and stabilize the system before Oliver's friends arrive.
*
Half a month passed quickly, Ash's new dish had been almost tested, Su Yang went back to Suzhou to sweep Su Mucheng's tomb, and it didn't take long to return to Sichuan City.
Returning to help Ash try new dishes and give some advice, the two of them are much slower than ever without Oliver. Therefore, the amount of dishes that Ash is going to update this time is relatively small, only three.
The new dish trial went well, and Ash had to face the system's final announcement.
Tomorrow is the deadline for thinking before the mission, and if Ash doesn't make a decision, the system will spontaneously start the [Ultimate Mission] so that the host doesn't treat the task negatively.
Oliver couldn't have flown across the ocean with his friends right away, so Ash had to follow the plan he had thought of beforehand.
On this day, before entering the system, Ash emptied his mind and forced himself not to think too much for a while.
After making sure she was ready, she meditated into the system space.
The color of the space is a little dark, dark green, probably because she repeatedly ignores the system's reminders.
Finally, Ash clicked on the quest panel, and could no longer continue to escape, and had to make a choice.
But Ash didn't immediately click confirm, but began to think: Do you have to go abroad to do this task, I will stay in China and run the restaurant into a three-Michelin restaurant, and I will naturally become a three-Michelin star chef, right?
Yes, because the system can interpret her real-time thoughts, she is trying to communicate with the system.
After a while, the mechanical female voice replied to her: "No, the system determines the task based on the trajectory that is easiest to complete, and it is too difficult to run a successful three-Michelin-starred restaurant in China, and it may not be successful in ten years." It's the easiest way to learn at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Europe and stand out from it. ”
When the system answered her, it roughly revealed the subsequent task flow, which was really the same as her experience in her previous life.
Ash frowned slightly, and talked to the system in his head: But this is very similar to my experience in my previous life, I am likely to repeat the same mistakes, why not try another path?
System: "It is precisely because it is very similar to your experience in your previous life that the system will choose you, and in the previous life you failed because your inspiration dried up." Now that you have the system, the ingredients will give you unlimited inspiration, and the risk is much lower than at home. The remaining time is running out, please make a judgment in time, if the system automatically triggers the task, the time limit will be directly shortened by half, and the task is required to be completed within five years. ”
……
In other words, it is not negotiable at all.
Ash's eyes flashed slightly, and he always felt that the words of the system had revealed a lot, but because he was in it, he didn't dare to think too much.
So, she gritted her teeth and directly clicked the [Accept] button.
"Ding-" the system prompts almost immediately, "[Ultimate Quest] has been activated, please enter the panel to view the first quest." ”
Ash raised his eyebrows, and if the [Ultimate Quest] was really subdivided, so the system would say something "enter the Michelin restaurant school and stand out", which should also be one of the tasks.
She restrained her thoughts from going out and quickly clicked into the task panel:
"Mission 1: Go to France, limited to one month."
When Ash saw it, the joy in her heart was about to be irrepressible, but she tried her best to restrain herself, jumped into the jump, and went out of the system.
The time limit for mission one is one month, and Oliver and the others still have half a month to come to China, and she has successfully managed to manage the time difference in between, and has half a month more time to prepare!
She sat in the room and thought about it for a long time, probably because she needed a visa to go abroad, so the system humanized it and gave her a month.
So, Ash thought, as long as she lets the system see her potential in this month, will she have a chance to change the trajectory of the [Ultimate Mission]?!
