Chapter 39: The Goose King Fights for Supremacy
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Well, as in previous years, this year's goose killing conference was also held on the Laba Festival. There is a voting spot at the shop, and I'm looking forward to getting to taste the delicious feathered goose you made!"
Listening to his tone, the goose killing conference seems to be a very famous event, a household name, and without explanation, it is tacitly assumed that Wu Bencao has been aware.
Wu Bencao was very confused. After the crossing, because most of the host's memories were related to the medical Tao, it was too boring and boring, he was too lazy to look through it in detail, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as a goose killing conference.
Xiao Ai suddenly realized, turned his head to look at him, "Brother, if it weren't for the shopkeeper's reminder, we would have forgotten that since you are in the business of opening restaurants, you also have to participate in the goose killing conference!"
Wu Bencao nodded casually, seemingly calm, but in fact, he was panicked, and hurriedly searched the memories left by the host to find out the origin of this goose killing conference.
This is a unique folk festival in Goose City, which is held once a year. In the middle of winter, in order to celebrate the harvest, all the restaurants in the city have to show their cooking skills, and the theme of the local abundant Yangming feather goose is a culinary competition, and the selected 200 residents will be the judges......"
The so-called goose killing conference is actually a cooking competition, no more than anything else, compared to the cooking skills of Yangming feather goose.
About Yangming feathered goose, Wu Materia Medica knows it well.
The reason why Goose City is called Goose City is because of the unique local water and soil, which is suitable for the breeding and survival of Yangming feather geese, and they can be seen everywhere in the mountains and lakes. This kind of goose meat is tender and fat, can make a variety of delicacies, and is deeply loved by the people, so it is named.
Wu Bencao just found that unlike China in his previous life, the people of Goose City are not interested in pork, but have a soft spot for goose meat, and the frequency of its appearance on the table is higher than that of eating pork in his previous life, which once made him extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, after he figured out the reason, he secretly thought: "It turned out that all restaurants were asked to participate in the competition, eat more than one goose, and show off their own special eating methods." No wonder the shopkeeper said that, now that I'm in the restaurant industry, I have to invent a new dish to stand out. ”
He was thinking so, and a new prompt quickly popped up in the taskbar in his mind.
[Side quest 002: Skill overpowering.]
Description: As the future god of food, how can you lose to others in the field of cooking that you are best at? The crown of the Goose King cannot be lost, you must successfully defend the glory with your cooking skills and wisdom, and prove that you are the best chef in this city!
Reward: An unimaginable Demon Illustrated Book]
As soon as Wu Bencao heard the news of the goose killing conference, the side quest came into being, and the system's response was too fast. As a lazy system, how can it sit idly by and let the host waste such a good exercise opportunity.
Wu Bencao couldn't help but smack, he didn't feel the pressure at this time, but was very surprised, "What the hell is the Demon Illustrated Book? Don't tell me, there are Devil Fruits in this world!"
In his previous life, he was a die-hard fan of One Piece, and he knew that there was an illustrated book in this anime, which recorded all the information about the Devil Fruits, and the name was also called the Demon Illustrated Book. The names of the two are the same, are they the same book?
If so, that's!
Meng'er replied: "No. 】
Wu Bencao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I'm just a cook, and I don't want to be a man in One Piece." Tell me what is recorded in this book?"
[Please complete the task as soon as possible, and ...... later]
"Experience it yourself!"
Wu Bencao knew that it must be another set of replies, and he had learned to answer.
He was not surprised, and then asked: "This goose killing conference aims to encourage chefs to innovate and create more delicious and fresh dishes for Goose City." Do you have a good idea, or a similar recipe for me to refer to and revamp?"
As long as the system is willing to help, if there is divine help, let alone compete with the chefs in the same city, he even dares to enter the palace single-handedly and smash the field of the imperial dining room.
Meng'er replied: [No, this is a test of your personal ability, the system will not provide any help, it is all up to your own efforts. 】
Her attitude is very resolute, and in the culinary competition, she will not let Wu Materia Medica.
Wu Bencao had no strong support, he was extremely distressed, and said in frustration: "Then what should I do? You don't know, I have only debuted for three days in total, and I haven't had time to learn other dishes except for Kaimai soup, what do you want me to compare with those professional chefs?"
After eating for a long time, his cooking skills were good before, but he was still at the amateur level, and he couldn't get on the table, so he couldn't compare with the chef of the restaurant. And this time, the topic of the competition is goose, which has locked the range, leaving no room for opportunistic tricks for the chefs.
In a short period of time, it is difficult to even master the homely practice of goose meat, not to mention the ingenuity to defeat the opponents who have participated in the previous goose killing conferences.
It's too hard.
He sat back on the bamboo stool, motioned to the shopkeeper to get busy first, and then negotiated in his heart: "It's not that I don't work hard, but the situation is too difficult, and this task is destined to be unfinished." Can I give up the mission and not have that book?"
Meng'er replied: [Regardless of the main line or the side line, all tasks released by the system do not provide an option to give up. As long as it's not done, it'll always be in the taskbar, and it will become a stumbling block, ironic that you've ever backed down and are willing to be a loser. 】
Wu Bencao wanted to cry without tears.
[Please be optimistic, instead of complaining, it is better to calm down and think seriously about what advantages you currently have, which can come in handy. In addition, the higher the difficulty of the mission, the greater the rewards, which is an illustrated book beyond imagination. 】
Wu Bencao was silent, complaining and complaining, in fact, he was already thinking about this problem.
[Come on, boy!]
Meng'er dropped a word of encouragement and disappeared in silence.
Wu Bencao pinched his frowning brows and asked, "What day is the lunar month today?"
Xiao Ai next to him said: "The first year of junior high school." ”
In other words, there are only seven days left. ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Ai nodded vigorously, his eyes were full of trust in his brother, and encouraged: "Brother, I believe in you, your cooking skills are so superb, you will definitely be able to make the best goose meat and become this year's goose king!"
Wu Bencao's face was bitter and not optimistic.
In the past few days, the Kaimai soup he made has amazed the whole city, and he has been crowned with the reputation of a genius chef and has attracted much attention. There must be many people like the butcher shopkeeper, who are most looking forward to his amazing performance at the goose killing conference, with such a high degree of attention, it is too easy to kill him.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, if he performs mediocre and fails to conquer the many judges, then his image of genius will be shattered, and the people of Goose City will only think that his cooking skills are mediocre, and it is entirely by inheriting magical recipes that he has won his current prestige.
It was the last thing he wanted to see.
He doesn't want to rely on the aura of the system forever and be a puppet-like man.
If he can, he would like to prove that he is worthy of this system, even if he doesn't hang up, he is still awesome!
