Chapter 17 Secret Sauces
Fat Willy, who picked up the cowhide bag and thanked him, walked out of the Sailor's Tavern alone, and it was already dark. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's that bright red thing?" Marcus snatched the small bottle that Bayard had secretly hidden in his apron pocket, "You old fellow, what you secretly hid must be something good, and it just so happens that I should go home too." The fish and chips I gave Fat Willy just now are also for me to bring home, and our Martha must be hungry too. Well, this one tastes sweet and sour, she's going to love it. ”
"You're a bandit!" Although Bayard was smiling and scolding, he was still very relieved that the sauce he had created was appreciated, and he instinctively looked up in the direction of the stairs and muttered to himself, "Do you want to get some test samples for that little guy to try now?" I don't think I have eaten anything decent in a day today, so I should be hungry, right? ”
"Bayard, get one for the guy upstairs, I think he's probably hungry too." Captain Franks understood people's hearts and said what Bayard thought, and Bayard responded excitedly and returned to the kitchen, only to hear another "bang" sound of fried oil inside.
Murong Tao gently opened a crack, and seeing that there was no movement outside the door, he relieved himself, took out the Saint Noah Star from his pocket, put it back on his neck, and held the huge gem in his palm, "Has the upgrade been completed?" ”
A dialog box appeared in front of him, "The Agent system has been upgraded to level 2, and a total of 10% of the system energy has been consumed, and the system energy is 90% remaining at this moment!" ”
Is it 90 percent? Obviously, the system energy that was already used just now was filled up after being upgraded? IS THIS A BUG?
"You are not wrong to think so, this may be a BUG, or a subsidy for beginners, but in the future, every system upgrade will become extremely difficult, or the requirements that need to be met by the upgrade will become more and more demanding, at that time, it will be very difficult for you to upgrade the system to make the system full of energy." The metallic voice of the agent system from the depths of the eardrum said Murong Tao's guess as if he could read minds, and at the same time, it was equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on him, making him more sober.
Sure enough, it's like playing that kind of holographic online game, as long as you level up, all the original DEBUFFs will disappear, full of blood, and return to the best state.
"Duh~Duh!" There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Murong Tao instinctively hid the Star of Saint Noah in his arms, and after quickly tidying up, he said to the door, "Please come in!" ”
"Oh hehe, I guess you probably haven't slept yet, here's the result of my day, and I also brought the special sauce you talked about, and they responded very well." Outside the door, of course, was Bayard, who held a large tray in his hand, in which were two fish and chips, and several sauces, "Of course, I just gave them a little bit of the sauce that I thought was ripe, and here are a few other sauces that I have studied, would you like to give them a try?" ”
Looking at the red, black, yellow, and white sauces in the small utensils in the tray, Murong Tao wanted to praise Bayard's merits of drawing inferences from one another. However, after tasting the red ketchup, the rest of the sauce was basically like a dragonfly, especially the white fennel juice, and I almost couldn't help but spit it out.
"How?" Bayard was still full of joy as he watched Murong Tao holding pieces of fish and chips in his hands, dipping them in the sauce he had tried several times, waiting for the master's affirmation.
"You can also try this tomato sauce by adding an extra portion of sugar to the original one." Murong Tao stuffed the last piece of fried fish with a full amount of tomato sauce into his mouth and said, "As for the other sauces, they seem to be very distinctive, but the customer base will become very small, because not everyone likes this special taste." For those of us who make food, the first thing to consider is the taste of most people, and then the wealth created by food, and then use the accumulated wealth to create more food. ”
"Well, you're right, I agree." Although he said this, Bayard was obviously a little disappointed that the rest of the sauces were not recognized by Murong Tao, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, "Maybe as you said, these sauces may only be for a part of the customers, but I will continue to study the rest of the sauces in order to take into account the needs of all customer groups." ”
"The road to food creation is not smooth sailing, it is the practice of countless sages to tell everyone in the world that you eat, not only to live, but to understand the true meaning of enjoying food!" Murong Tao wiped the tomato juice from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, forcibly held back the surging in his stomach, and said such a sentence to finish.
Bayard originally wanted to leave with an empty plate, but Murong Tao stopped him, in his opinion, Bayard is a chef with ideals, ambitions, ambitions, and creativity, much cuter than those who have lived their lives in a mess. Although the two are many years apart, they have a lot to talk about food.
"Actually, there is no problem with extracting juices directly from some spicy ingredients, but when people try a new food, their stomach will have an adjustment period, and not everyone may be able to accept your new sauce at first, but as a qualified chef, the first thing you have to do is not to make others accept your creativity, but to accept your food." Murong Tao didn't intend to dampen Bayard's enthusiasm, "Maybe I really don't fit the taste of your new sauce, but if you change places, people there like your fennel juice very much, maybe you don't get discouraged because of this, because after we have completed the first step of primitive accumulation, we will go to sea and bring our fish and chips, your new sauce to the whole of France, the whole of England, the whole of Iberia, and even the whole of Europe, and even beyond!" ”
Bayard was moved by the bright future that Murong Tao had shown, and the gloom he had just now dissipated, and he now believed that maybe somewhere in the world, there was such a group of people waiting for him to carry fish and chips cooked with fennel juice, and then in front of him with a large piece of Duoying.
The two of them chatted all night on the topic of food, and in the end, Bayard casually solved it all night in Murong Tao's small room, and Murong Tao came downstairs early with a pair of panda eyes.
The sun had risen outside, the drinkers in the tavern had almost gone, the waiters had changed, another group had gone home from work, and of course the kraft bags they carried would have a pile of fish and chips prepared by Bayard.
For this thing, which was new to the port of Cherbourg, it was already spreading through the streets of the port of Cherbourg in just one night. Some of the nobles who cared about their status sent their servants to squat outside the Sailor's Tavern early in the morning, ready to buy the first hot fish and chips.
As for the back door of the tavern, it was a different scene, with a large number of fishermen more or less carrying the fruits of their early catches, and lined up at the back door. There is no shortage of fish merchants in it, but those businessmen were surprised, they haven't seen Fat Willy since last night, like this kind of obvious money-making moment, Fat Willy should be the first to bear the brunt.
"Did you see Fat Willy?" A fish merchant looked left and right at the long line and asked his companion beside him, "Didn't you go with him to the Sailor's Tavern last night?" ”
"We went with him, but he was invited by the gambler to go up to the second floor of the tavern, and he never came down until we left the tavern." The colleague who was questioned nodded and replied, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them, we all drank together all night, ate fish steak and chips." ”
"Oh, and I haven't had time to try the fish steak and chips, how do you feel?" The fish merchant who had asked before changed his words and asked.
"It's okay not to mention it, but the bugs in my stomach are all stirring!" The fishmer, who was standing on the side and quietly watching the two chatting, finally couldn't help but laugh, "You guys left early last night, and then Bayard let a few of us try his secret sauce, tsk, those golden fish steaks and chips are dipped in those peculiar flavors, and they are constantly fermenting in the mouth, that taste, to be honest, I didn't sleep well last night, and I kept thinking in my head, what if I can't eat such delicious one day?" ”
Maybe the fishmer's words are a bit exaggerated, but his friends are well aware of his picky eater, and ordinary food can't get into his mouth at all, that is, it is really delicious, otherwise... This intoxicated look doesn't look like it's faked at all. The fishmerchant, who had left the tavern early, began to regret it, "If I hadn't been in a hurry to leave, I might have been able to taste the special sauce you mentioned, I wonder if there's any leftover from Bayard today?" ”
When Bayard walked out of Murong Tao's room, Murong Tao's shadow was gone, he stretched his waist, made the bed, and then walked out of the room. In addition to cooking a large number of fish steaks and chips, his task today is to cook a large amount of tomato sauce, the red fruits that were originally brought back from the New World by the Spanish invaders, but were originally used as ordinary ornamental plants, and were used and cultivated in large quantities from the 18th century onwards.
