Hao Xian opened the second page of "Peng Zu's Kitchen Sutra", only to see that the original blank paper was full of words:

【Chef Skill】
Honest tongue
Hao Xian's mood went all the way down.
From the various cooking skill ratings displayed, it can be seen that from low to high, they are: Miscellaneous (not shown), Apprentice, Assistant Chef, Head Chef, and Head Chef......
As for whether there will be a higher rank after the head chef, it is not known at this time.
Hao Xian has the highest level in grocery shopping, reaching the level of head chef. There is nothing wrong with this, he has often followed his father to the vegetable market since he was a child, and after middle school, he began to buy vegetables for the store alone, whether it is facing the butcher shop owner who is full of meat on the next street, or the vegetable market aunts on the B1 floor of the city mall, he is not left behind, and he can bargain with him for 300 rounds, and buy back the freshest and high-quality ingredients with the least money!
Even after giving up learning to cook, he is still helping to take care of the food in his hometown.
This is also the small confidence that he dared to take over the hometown pavilion left by his father at the beginning.
As for washing and picking vegetables, I repeated it countless times when I was a child and couldn't reach the kitchen counter.
The knife work was evaluated as only a kitchen assistant level, which made him a little disappointed, after all, this aspect was trained by his father fiercely. And when he saw that most of the cooking skills were only at the apprentice level, he felt that he was in a bad state of mind.
The chef is really strict!
Even if I can't support the hometown pavilion in Miaoguo Chinatown, but it is enough to support my family when I return to China and open a small restaurant, only an apprentice?
However, Hao Xian was not disappointed for too long, because he immediately saw the later sentence "The rest of the cooking skills are all the lowest miscellaneous grades, and they will not be displayed", his self-confidence was instantly broken, and the whole person lay on the bed with his back to the sky.
The mentality collapsed.
That's it?
At this level, he still wants to challenge last year's street food champion?
The feeling of self-expansion after getting "Peng Zu's Kitchen Sutra" in the afternoon was like a balloon that had been punctured, and it quickly deflated.
"Wait, something is wrong, I really have to be so weak, how did I make my father's roast goose?"
Hao Xian sat up, frowning and pondering.
"As long as I think about making roast goose, all the knowledge related to roast goose in my mind will continue to pour out, and my hands will become extremely coordinated, and I can perfectly reproduce the same roast goose as my father without too much effort. Not only roast goose, but all my father's dishes recorded on this page of "Cantonese Food Treasures" can be easily made.
"So what if I think differently and try to make a roast duck with my father's skills in making roast goose? The difference between the two dishes is not particularly large, and even if some of the techniques are not suitable for duck meat, the finished product will not be unpalatable......"
Hao Xian began to simulate the steps of making roast duck in his mind, and found that his thoughts became a mess, and the hearty feeling when he made roast goose before disappeared without a trace.
He also tried to simulate some delicacies in his mind that were similar to the cooking skills required by Baiyun pork knuckles, wonton noodles, and double-skin milk, but found that they couldn't be made smoothly.
"I almost get it. The chef status bar shows my true strength, and the dishes that are recorded are the cheats I get. Even if my cooking skills don't reach the corresponding level, as long as the dishes included in the "Peng Zu Kitchen Classic" are included, I can make them like a fish in water! And the dishes that are not included in the collection, I can only rely on my own strength to learn how to make them. ”
Hao Xian touched his chin and finished analyzing, immediately got up and walked to the bookcase, picked out a few recipes of different cuisines and piled them on the desk.
He picked up the thickest cookbook and carefully shook it on top of the "Peng Zu Cookbook", like teasing a cat.
Seeing that there was no response from the cook, he gently pasted the recipe and said softly: "Come, give you something delicious, absorb this~"
The recipe was rubbed back and forth several times on the kitchen scripture, but there was still no response.
Hao Xian changed one recipe after another to "Peng Zu's Kitchen Sutra", but after rubbing it all over, nothing happened.
He couldn't help but sigh regretfully: "It seems that you can't increase the number of recipes in this way, why can't Dad's notes do?" Do you have to be related to the author of the recipe? ”
In order to drive away the disappointment in his heart, Hao Xian comforted himself: "At least it proves that I am biological." ”
Thinking like this, he was actually happy. When he was learning to cook, he really doubted his background because his father was too strict! Otherwise, it will not finally collapse and give up learning to cook.
Now, his father's best Cantonese cuisine has been inherited by him through the "Peng Zu Kitchen Classic", and he has achieved the goal he achieved when he reopened his hometown two months ago.
Relief is naturally gratifying, but in the end, all this is not obtained by his own efforts, and one day he will have to rely on his own strength to make better dishes.
This is not to be cheap, but to be insatiable with the spirit of craftsmanship.
"In fact, being able to see the ratings of my various cooking skills is the biggest help to me, as long as I carry out targeted training and constantly improve my skills, I can make more delicious dishes. But the problem now is that the rivals in the Street Food Championship aren't going to wait for me to improve, and if I can't get a new recipe to beat them, it's a fool's dream to win! ”
Hao Xian turned to the third page of "Peng Zu's Kitchen Sutra", which is where his hope for rapid growth in the short term lies.
Task!
The previously completed quest has disappeared, and two new quests have been refreshed:
【Kitchen Garden Mission】Inheritance from father to son
Objective: Recreate the most difficult dish in my father's specialty.

"This is good!" Hao Xian's eyes lit up, this task was very suitable for him now.
He looked at the second task again, and the whole person froze—
