Chapter 47: The Temptation of the Best
It turns out that no matter how delicious it is, if you eat too much at once, you can get tired of it.
Dong Xiaowan got tired of eating shrimp dumplings next.
It all started with Ivan's second shrimp dumpling experiment.
After the success of the first trial, Ivan was sure that the recipe for marinating the No. 4 shrimp slip was almost perfect, and this crucial step was determined.
Then the next test will be simple.
Now that the recipe for marinating the shrimp has been decided, all Ivan needs to do is adjust the ratio of skin jelly, pork and add baby cabbage to change the composition of the whole meat filling.
Soon, the second batch of five cages of shrimp dumplings with ten different recipes was freshly baked.
This time, Ivan halved the amount of the test product.
With the help of electronic scales, it is not difficult to do this.
"It's your turn. β
Ivan said lightly, he meant that Dong Xiaowan should act as a taster.
At the beginning, Dong Xiaowan happily accepted the task.
"This doesn't work, the meat filling is all replaced with lean meat, and the taste is a little worse. β
"It's not okay, there's less jelly, there's less soup, and there's less sweetness and juiciness. β
"This ...... The baby cabbage seems to be a little bit more, and the shrimp flavor is diluted. β
......
Ivan had to admit that this Dong Xiaowan was definitely a qualified taster, and although her comments became shorter, they were always in one sentence.
The surprise soon came again.
"This is good! I love this!"
Dong Xiaowan exclaimed, startling Ivan.
No way?
Do you need such an exaggeration?
You didn't notice that there was still someone on duty in the kitchen, and now you're all alarmed?
Ivan tried to warn her, but he himself immediately froze.
"Ding, the host has successfully upgraded the self-developed crystal shrimp dumplings to the top grade and delicacy, and will be rewarded with 1,000 points. β
First class!
Near-perfect crystal shrimp dumplings!
Ivan couldn't help but smile.
What is the concept of first-class quality?
This means that in the crystal dumplings with large green shrimp as the main material, the method that Ivan has developed now is close to perfection in all aspects, and it is difficult to be surpassed.
It might be better understood to put it another way.
For example, Chef Zheng's squirrel fish should be a top-grade third-class, but even if it is a top-grade third-class, it has been called a must-have delicacy in Jinling and has become a must-order delicacy for guests.
For another example, Dong Xiaowan's Xiaowan buns are probably third-class, and once they were launched, they almost broke their heads.
Although this delicacy was added by Ivan to Dong Xiaowan's fame as a gimmick, its taste is indeed a rare delicacy in Jinling, and with a little promotion, it can be promoted as a local delicacy in Jinling.
This is like the famous TJ dog ignoring buns in later generations.
And the crystal shrimp dumplings made by Ivan today, the first test can achieve the second-class achievement, which is already very remarkable.
It's actually a bit lucky.
The reason why the crystal shrimp dumplings are better than the Xiaowan soup dumplings is that it is improved on the basis of the Xiaowan steamed buns, and Ivan happens to know the principle of the best shrimp dumplings......
A combination of factors led to the achievement of the first experiment.
This kind of achievement is very difficult to replicate.
To put it mildly, if Ivan is asked to develop a new delicacy from scratch now, even if he wants to reach the third-class level, he may not be able to do it in a short time.
Even Ivan himself, he is just working in the perfect direction, trying to solve the problem of being greasy if he eats too much.
But he never expected that he would step on shit and get lucky, and really made the perfect formula.
That's great!
Ivan couldn't help but wave his fist.
Dong Xiaowan, who had already realized that she was a little out of shape, stuck out her tongue playfully after seeing Ivan's action, and then began to explain.
"This one is really great! I feel that the amount of baby cabbage is just right, and the crispy sweetness of it does not dilute the freshness of the shrimp slippery, but complements each other. β
Not only that, but the crispness of the baby cabbage makes the dumplings taste a little better. β
Also, the amount of soup is just right, and the greasy feeling is not heavy. β
"I really love this!"
She said a lot in one go.
Looking at her excited appearance, Ivan couldn't help but laugh again.
That's the joy of being a chef.
When you make something delicious that can bring pleasure and enjoyment to others, and get their approval, that's a great sense of achievement.
At this time, Ivan had a great sense of accomplishment.
But he was immediately stunned.
Another string of information came to his mind.
A new mission is coming.
γSpecial Mission: Temptation of the Bestγ
Mission Description: Even if you are a chef, you can't resist the temptation of exquisite food!
Completion Target: By improving the recipe, you can make a superb crystal shrimp dumpling.
Completion reward: 10,000 points.
......
The description of the task is very simple and there are no restrictions either.
The rewards for the quest are not simple, but they are also very useful.
10,000 points!
Something Ivan needs in large quantities.
With enough points, Ivan will be able to better use the system to improve his cooking skills.
Ivan was immediately enchanted.
Exceptional!
Even the god of cooking can't resist the temptation!
Not to mention Ivan.
According to the standards set by the system, the delicacy is divided into three products: upper, middle and lower, and there are still no streams under the lower grades, and there are superb products above the upper grades.
What is a gem?
The best is the best taste, the best taste, the only taste!
A delicious meal, from the selection of ingredients, the combination of ingredients, to the cooking process, to the grasp of the heat, all require perfection to the extreme, in order to create a superb taste.
Therefore, even if you are a master chef, you can't guarantee that you will be able to make a great taste all the time, and if you make a slight mistake, the perfect taste will be gone.
But Ivan fell into the devil.
He began to try frantically again.
He first tried to replace baby cabbage with other vegetables, such as turnips, cucumbers, and even celery and leeks, which he had previously rejected.
After failing one by one, he began to try to change the marinating recipe of shrimp slippery.
It's a pity that it still failed.
Dong Xiaowan admired his crazy attempt at the beginning, admiring his pursuit of perfection.
But later, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"I'm almost throwing up. β
Her stomach couldn't hold on.
Ivan then came to his senses.
It's not so easy to create!
His accumulation of knowledge and culinary skills is far from enough!
He finally realized it.
"Let's go, let's make tonight's Xiaowan buns!"
Because of his crazy attempts, Tie Niu has already undertaken the work of handling pig skin and minced meat by himself, and he or Dong Xiaowan has to come to the boiling, dough, and stuffing of the skin jelly.
If you don't prepare, it is estimated that the diners will not have anything to eat tonight.
