Chapter 113: Chef Zhao's Old Story

The picture drawn on the sheepskin is quite figurative, probably by adding the juice of a plant leaf to flour and mixing it into a ball, and then making noodles. But the most crucial plant names and recipe names were worn away.

She struggled to recall similar dishes she had heard of before, as if there were various noodles made with vegetable juice, such as spinach noodles, carrot noodles, green vegetable noodles, and so on.

But looking at the picture on this recipe, the shape of the leaves is definitely not these vegetables. It looks like tea leaves, but it seems that there really is tea noodles, right?

It's just that most of the dishes made with tea in my impression are made with tea powder, and they are not squeezed into juice directly.

"If you don't have a clue, let's try it all." She took out the tender tea leaves she had stocked up on and washed them. Place in a mashing pot and slowly pound into a paste.

Strain through muslin and slowly add the juice to the flour. Knead the green dough and roll it out flat, using a knife to cut out sections of noodles.

In boiling water, slowly add the green noodles. Afraid that the noodles would stick together or get into the pot, she carefully stirred them with her chopsticks.

It was cooked in a while, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of tea. To taste it, she just sprinkled a little bit of salt.

【Ding Dong!】 The system prompts, congratulations on learning the recipe "Tea Noodles". 】

Hearing the hint, she smiled with satisfaction, at least the dish was a success.

Pick up a piece of noodles, put it in your mouth, and taste it carefully. The faint aroma of tea, as well as a little bitterness, is a fresh taste.

"Master, this is bitter and not delicious." Although the little cute pet didn't like it, she still finished the noodles for it.

touched the little cute pet's head, "I'll try it later, I'll add some other spices." ”

Glancing at the broken recipe, there was no change, and it should not be tea noodles. Sighed, a little disappointed.

She took out the remaining tea noodles in the bowl and let them cool, added a little sauce water and ate it, and the bitterness in the noodles was neutralized.

Put a little of this seasoned noodle into the little pet's bowl, and it first tried a small bite, and then ate it all.

"Master, it's delicious." It commented like a gourmet, and added at the end, "But there is no meat, not full." ”

Take out a braised chicken leg from the storage space and put it in its bowl, "Here, the meat you want." ”

Terry said cheerfully, "Master, I love you. Then he waged his tail and nibbled on the drumsticks.

In fact, there is a lot of meat in its collar, and Monan knows that Terry is a little lonely after seeing the two cuties offline, so he is comforting her in his own way.

Such a caring little cute pet, how can she not be pampered.

Opening the skill menu, she took a look at the proficiency level of the cooking technique, which had been stuck at 99% intermediate for a long time. No matter how many dishes are made, or new dishes do not increase proficiency.

Originally, I put my hope on this broken recipe, but I don't know what the main ingredient is. "It seems that I still have to ask Uncle Zhao for advice."

When Xiaobei went offline before, Lu Xiaoqi, who was originally in his pet space, actually fell out. So Mo Nan put Lu Xiaoqi in a small cloth pocket and hung it around Telly's neck, letting it run around with the sleeping Lu Xiaoqi.

After coming to Guilinju, he left the little cute pets at the door, said hello to the money shopkeeper and went to Chef Zhao's small kitchen.

Chef Zhao picked up the broken recipe and examined it carefully. In the end, he said regretfully: "Alas, I haven't seen this either." ”

Since there was no clue about the recipe, she asked the question of skill by the way: "My cooking skills have reached 99% of the intermediate level, but the proficiency has not moved at all." ”

"I can really give you a little experience in this situation. Generally, after the cooking level reaches the critical point, it is necessary to make a higher level of dishes to break through. ”

"It's like my senior brother made a drunken goose breakthrough back then, but it was useless to do this drunken goose when I reached the critical point. Later, I made a pearl ball to make the cut, so everyone's situation is different. ”

Mo Nan was a little disappointed when he heard it, everyone's situation is different, so he can only rely on his own exploration. It's just that Chef Zhao actually has a senior brother, looking at the admiration on his face when he recalled, he should be a person with high cooking skills.

"Then Uncle Zhao's senior brother is a very powerful master chef?"

Chef Zhao didn't answer directly, but fell into memories. The expression on his face kept changing, at first he was happy and excited, then he was helpless and bitter, and finally he was sad and painful.

Half an hour later, he wiped tears from his face with his hands.

Mo Nan gently handed over a cloth towel, and he took it, wiped his face clean, and told his story in a hoarse voice.

Chef Zhao and his brother were orphans and were brought back by the chef who was the chef of the restaurant. Both of them have a high culinary talent, which makes their chef often show off to other restaurant chefs.

One year, a dignitary in the imperial city held a birthday banquet and invited his master to take charge of the kitchen.

His master took him and his senior brother to the imperial city together, probably because he was young and frail, and Chef Zhao was unaccustomed. He was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed, so he had to rest in the inn.

But on the day of the birthday banquet, bad news came, saying that his master poisoned and murdered the emperor at that time, and was finally beheaded by Wumen, and his senior brother was missing.

He didn't know what was going on. Later, the old saka of the inn took him in, and he was the father of the money shopkeeper.

Since then, he has been working as a chef in the inn, and when the money shopkeeper wants to go out and become independent, he follows him to Guilinju.

After Chef Zhao finished telling his story, he looked at Mo Nan expectantly: "Xiao Nan, can you help me find my senior brother?" I don't believe that the master will be poisoned, and what happened back then must have been framed. ”

[Mission: Help Chef Zhao of Wanyi Village find the missing senior brother.] Time limit for completion: within one year. Yes/No Accepted】

[Mission: Help Chef Zhao of Wanyi Village find the truth of the year. Time limit for completion: within two years. Yes/No Accepted】

Unexpectedly, two tasks came at once, and Mo Nan also chose to accept them one by one. Anyway, she has a bunch of unfinished tasks now, and she doesn't have to bite if she has more lice, and she doesn't have to worry if she has more debts.

Mo Nan stepped forward to comfort Chef Zhao, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely help you find your senior brother and find out the truth of the year." ”

"Thank you Xiao Nan, I have nothing to repay you. This is the recipe "Pearl Ball" that I successfully advanced to that year, and I will give it to you. ”

【Ding Dong!】 The system prompts, congratulations on learning the recipe "Pearl Ball". 】

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

After saying these things, Chef Zhao was full of joy and no energy. Mo Nan advised him to take a good rest, and she would tell the money shopkeeper.

Chef Zhao got up and went back to his room.

Coming to the counter, Mo Nan told him about Chef Zhao.

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "That incident was really strange back then, the emperor suddenly went to the birthday banquet of the big official on a whim. didn't notify anyone in advance, how could Lao Zhao's master know that he was poisoned. ”
