Late at night, Liu Jiaojiao lay on the couch and looked at the empty roof with wide eyes.

Sometimes, she really misses the convenience of modern times.

As long as you have money, you can basically buy anything, and there is a certain treasure in the almighty, which will not be limited by geography and restrictions at all.

【Drip ...... Do you want to do a job of providing unlimited seasonings? 】

Liu Jiaojiao, who was accustomed to the elusiveness of the system adults, was no longer frightened to jump up, but chose to ignore the olive branch it tossed.

I know too well the urine nature of my own system, and with such good conditions, the task to do must be extremely difficult and extremely deceitful.

Refuse! PASS！ Don't listen or don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures!

[The host has been detected to have a negative sabotage mentality, and the side quest is forced to open.] Ask the host to complete twelve dishes made of fish as raw materials at the reception banquet three days later, using no more than three fish species, and get praise from all diners, successfully obtain three treasure chests, deduct 20,000 points for failure of the task, and turn on the punishment mode. 】

What? Can you force a side quest to be opened? System Adult, you're really getting more and more shameless!

Liu Jiaojiao's teeth were clucking, she really wanted to hit someone now.

Now the menu she had prepared was basically scrapped.

It is not too difficult to complete twelve dishes with three kinds of fish, and the food culture of my Great Heavenly Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years, not to mention three kinds of fish, one fish can easily make twelve methods, but the crux of the problem is that Qingxinfang focuses on special dishes, and cannot be the same as others, so she can only choose the dishes that appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as modern improved dishes.

If this is the capital or a city near the sea, at least there are many ingredients to choose from, and some fish that no one will eat in this era can be added to the menu, such as manta rays and hairtail fish, but this town is not near the sea, and the location is remote, and the fish that can be selected are basically very common, such as carp and crucian carp, these fish have been eaten by humans for so many years, and almost all the methods that can be used have been used up.

Curry, wine, beer, cheese, etc., these are all common ingredients in modern modified dishes, but where can she get them? The only special seasoning that can be used is cumin and fennel powder, which Liu Yuanwai asked someone to help get from the border two months ago, and only the Western Regions have this kind of seasoning.

Fortunately, in this overhead era, peppers, peppercorns, tomatoes, and potatoes have long been popularized, otherwise it would be more troublesome.

Using three kinds of fish to make twelve special dishes that were not available in this era, and also winning the praise of all diners, Liu Jiaojiao suddenly felt that Alexander was big, and she really wanted to die.

She barely closed her eyes all night, so Liu Jiaojiao woke up in the morning with two big, big dark circles under her eyes.

Liu Jun immediately asked worriedly, "Jiaojiao, didn't you sleep well last night?" Is it a nightmare? Or are you not feeling well? ”

Liu Jiaojiao shook her head, yawned, and replied with teary eyes: "I was too absorbed in thinking about things last night, so I basically didn't sleep much." ”

"Want to have a whole fish feast?"

"Well, after all, I've never done it before, so I'm a little worried."

Lao Li Tou also walked out of the house, and happened to hear the conversation between the two, and without waiting for Liu Jun to reply, he said to Liu Jiaojiao: "Girl, this is not like you, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself, you can do it." ”

Liu Jiaojiao smiled bitterly when she heard this, she didn't want to put so much pressure on herself, but the system was forcing her there, what else could she do except rush hard?

Sighing silently in her heart, she said: "Master, I'm fine, by the way, you just need to help me buy three kinds of fish today, two silver carp, one of them is a big one, three carp, this master, you look at the selection, pick the best, just get by, and then pick eight small crucian carp of about the same size, three to four taels are better, two large crucian carp of more than one catty, if you can find the kind of two catties is the best." ”

Lao Li Tou frowned after hearing this: "Your requirements are quite high, everything else is easy, but it is not easy to find a crucian carp weighing two catties, you must know that it takes five to ten years for crucian carp to grow to about one catty, and it is estimated that it will become fine if it weighs two catties." ”

"Anyway, you can do it, if you can't find that big, you can find a pound."

"Is this fish enough for twelve dishes? Why don't I buy a few more and come back? ”

"You can buy this first, I still have to think about the specific menu." She also wanted to buy a few more kinds of fish, but the system stipulated that she could only choose three kinds of fish when she died, and she was not sure if she could use these fish to make twelve dishes at night.

Erhu saw that Liu Jiaojiao was not in a good state today, so he volunteered to share part of the chef's work in the past, although he has not yet graduated, but as long as it is not too complicated, he can already complete it independently, and the taste is no worse than Liu Jiaojiao's cooking.

Fortunately, he helped to stand up, so even if Liu Jiaojiao was not in good spirits, nothing went wrong and she survived to the end.

After cooking the last dish, she directly handed over all the things in the back kitchen to Erhu, and then went to her own exclusive box on the second floor to make up for sleep.

Not sleeping all night really had a big impact on people, and she almost fell into a deep sleep as soon as she collapsed.

When Liu Jun came, the restaurant had already closed, and the guys were cleaning and tidying up before closing, and when they saw him enter, they immediately informed him that the little boss was resting on the second floor.

As soon as Liu Jun opened the door of the box, she heard a slight snoring sound, which couldn't help but be funny and distressed.

See what you're all sleepy about? Even the little snoring came out.

couldn't bear to wake up his sister, who was sleeping soundly, he simply sat aside and quietly accompanied her, looking at the delicate face even if he fell asleep.

guarded her for half an hour, considering that she would have to cook for a while, Liu Jun walked over and called her up softly.

Although she didn't sleep for long, but it was good to replenish some energy, Liu Jiaojiao softened her eyes, stretched a big, big lazy waist, yawned and asked, "Brother, how long have I been asleep?" ”

"A little more than an hour, if you're too sleepy, don't try the food for a while, and talk about it tomorrow." Liu Jun said distressedly.

"No, the time is too tight, since I have promised the county lord, then the reception banquet must be perfect, and the brand of Qingxinfang must not be smashed in my hands."

"Why don't I carry you back, you can sleep a little longer on the way."

Liu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, she nodded hurriedly, climbed off the sofa and opened her hands to Liu Jun, signaling that he could carry himself up now.

Liu Jun smiled dotingly, walked over and squatted down with his back to her, and then carried her on his back.

Today, it was Liu San's turn to be on duty to keep vigil, and when he saw that Liu Jun was carrying Liu Jiaojiao downstairs, he opened his mouth in surprise, and then hurriedly covered it.

It's been two years, and it's been a bit of substantial progress, and he can't rashly speak out and affect the cultivation of other people's feelings.

Pretending not to see anything, he immediately turned his head and sent the two of them out of the restaurant with his spare eyes.

Liu Jiaojiao didn't plan to really fall asleep on Liu Jun's back at first, she just wanted to close her eyes to recuperate, but she didn't know if she was really too sleepy, or if Liu Jun's generous back was too comfortable, and she didn't fall asleep somehow, until she woke up when she heard Lao Li's familiar voice.

"You girl, do you dare to be lazy? It's just a little way, and I want your brother to carry you back. Lao Li didn't think that Liu Jiaojiao was deliberately lazy, but he saw a layer of fine sweat on Liu Jun's forehead, and he felt a little sorry for his grandson, so he deliberately said that she was going to pass.

Liu Jun hurriedly explained to her sister: "Jiaojiao didn't sleep much last night, and today I was busy in the back kitchen for another day, and when I went to the restaurant, the guy said that she fell asleep as soon as she was busy, and she must be sleepy and tired." Considering that she had to try the dishes with you when she came back, I guess I had to toss it until late, so I carried her back, thinking that she could sleep a little longer......"

Lao Li immediately glared at him fiercely, forcing him not to dare to continue.

This stupid boy! How could I not know these things? Didn't you say a few words to that girl because she felt sorry for him? Those who turn their elbows outward are about to turn to Java!

It is said that girls are extroverted, and women are not stayed, according to him, this man is not much better, to put it bluntly, the children are raised for other people's families.

Liu Jiaojiao slept twice in a row, although it was not for a long time, but the recovery ability of the body that had been transformed by Lingquan was first-class strong, so she was completely mentally refreshed at this time.

She moved her neck and arms, then looked at Lao Li Tou and asked, "Master, have you bought all the fish I want you to buy for me?" We're ready for a food tasting. ”

Everything related to cooking is the right thing, and Lao Li Tou is never ambiguous about the business, and immediately nodded and said: "It's all bought, and it's all in the kitchen, I'll take you to see it." ”

Liu Jiaojiao turned around and smiled at Liu Jun, and said, "Brother, you have also been busy in the yamen for a day, and you have been carrying me back so hard, hurry up and wash your face and change your clothes to rest, and I will call you when the dishes are ready." ”

Liu Jun nodded, but still inevitably asked: "You have to cook so many dishes by yourself, do you want me to help?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao shook her head and said: "No, I will grab the master to help you, two generations of kitchen gods are out, you just wait for a while to eat delicious food!" After speaking, she deliberately shook her head proudly, causing Lao Li Tou to snort with her nose, and Liu Jun's eyes were full of smiles.

The quality of the fish selected by Lao Li Tou himself is absolutely reliable, and he is swimming happily in the pool at this time, and he knows that he is particularly mentally healthy at a glance.

Liu Jiaojiao decided to take the big silver carp to make a dish of "one fish and three eats", the fish head is used to make chopped pepper fish head, half of the body of the fish is made of boiled fish fillet, and the other half is generally made into braised silver carp, but because the practice of braised silver carp is already available, she will change it to fry, which is equivalent to three dishes.

The slightly less silver carp is stewed to make a refreshing stewed silver carp, and no one in this era has chosen to stew silver carp, because the meat of silver carp is thicker, and I think it will not taste good when stewed.

The eight small crucian carp will be added with milk and tofu to make a crucian carp tofu soup, and the two large crucian carp, one will be used to make the modern common paper-wrapped fish, and the other will be used to make braised crucian carp in sauce.

The key to stewed crucian carp in sauce is sauce, there are generally three kinds of sauce to choose from, the first is mushroom sauce, the second is to use bean paste with mash and various spices, the third is to use soybean paste, Liu Jiaojiao chose the second one, because this method is relatively complicated and tastes better, the key is that she doesn't believe that there are other people in this era who can know this practice.

There are already seven dishes, and there are still three carp left, how can you make up enough for the remaining five dishes? This is where Liu Jiaojiao's headache lies.

Originally, she planned to make fish balls, but fish balls have to choose fish with more flesh and less spines, such as mackerel, but if you add mackerel, it will exceed the three types of fish stipulated by the system, and mackerel belongs to sea fish, the ghost knows if this broken town can buy it, she also thought about using grass carp to make it, but grass carp will have an earthy smell when it is made, if it is forced to go fishy, it will inevitably affect the umami of the fish itself, she doesn't have that ability, so she can only give up.

Oily carp, carp fragrant pot, sauerkraut fish, these are the three dishes she thought of made with carp, as for the other methods......

She thought for a while and asked Lao Li Tou, "Master, do you know about the dry-roasted carp and the golden retriever lionfish?" ”

Lao Li shook his head for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head and said: "I've heard of dry roasted fish, it is said to be a special dish somewhere in the west, but I haven't eaten it or done it, I only remember that it used crucian carp instead of carp, as for the golden retriever lionfish, it is unheard of." ”

YES！ Liu Jiaojiao cheered in her heart, almost jumping up with excitement.

The remaining two dishes were finally ready, which was the dry roasted carp and the golden retriever lionfish.
