Chapter 3: Zhang Mingchuan's Dream

Zhang Mingchuan, who had been immersed in the delicious taste of fish for a long time, looked at the steamed fish that had been eaten up in his hand, and finally pushed open the door of the Xuanqi and returned to the back cover room of the courtyard.

"Eleven forty o'clock." After coming back, Zhang Mingchuan looked up at the full moon, and then looked down at his watch, this long experience did not waste a second of time in this world, if it were not for the residual smell of steamed fish in his mouth, Zhang Mingchuan suspected that everything he had just experienced was just a dream.

"Even if this steamed fish is cold, there is not a trace of fishy smell, but the last piece of fish has been soaked in the soup for a little longer, and the ginger flavor is a little heavier." Zhang Mingchuan's unfinished aftertaste.

After eating up a whole fish of nearly two catties, Zhang Mingchuan felt a lot more energetic after filling his stomach.

After washing up, the excited Zhang Mingchuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

For a while, I thought about waiting for the Commercial Bureau and the People's Livelihood Office to go to work tomorrow and ask if I could unblock it, and for a while, I wanted to re-apply for a business license and re-register a takeaway restaurant on the official takeaway platform.

For a while, I wonder if there is a simpler and more convenient way to catch this fish, I wonder if I can eat this perfect quality steamed fish again, I want to win various world awards for this dish and go to the peak of my life, and I think about it for a while......

Finally, at two o'clock in the morning, Zhang Mingchuan wanted to fall asleep.

"Whew." As soon as the sky was polished, Zhang Mingchuan opened his eyes, picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time, at 4:40 in the morning, "It's ten minutes later than usual." ”

When I went to school, I got up at 5:30 in the morning, and later inherited my ancestral business and became a chef, and I had to get up at 4:30 every morning to buy fresh ingredients. Zhang Mingchuan, who has never slept lazily since he was a child, has a deep-rooted biological clock in the morning, no matter how late he sleeps, he will wake up on time at half past four in the morning, the difference is that if he sleeps very late, he will be dizzy when he gets up in the morning.

"Huh? I didn't fall asleep until two o'clock in the morning, which is equivalent to more than two hours of sleep, and I wouldn't have been so good if I only slept for two hours in the past. Zhang Mingchuan said as he got dressed.

"Hey, I forgot that the ancestral takeaway restaurant was sealed." Zhang Mingchuan, who came back to his senses, remembered that the store was closed, and he didn't know what to do when he got up so early.

This piece of jade plate of the Shan Hai Jing is his own turning point and hope, recalling the passage on the door of Xuanqi last night: "Please use a perfect quality steamed fish, open the door to go home, and regain the ancestral takeaway business." Thinking of this, Zhang Mingchuan wanted to study the specific functions of this jade plate of the Shan Hai Jing with an indescribable mood.

With his mind turning, Zhang Mingchuan reappeared in the space of the jade tablet of the Shan Hai Jing, and found that the text on the door of the Xuanqi on the left had changed.

"The takeaway store of Shanhai Food Garden has opened, and [Steamed Fish Basic] has been put on the shelves."

"Please cook ten kinds of [Steamed Fish Seasoning] to enrich the menu content and unlock more exotic ingredients."

"Ten kinds! This basic model is already the best taste in the world, and if I want to transfer other accessories to make the fish umami to a higher level, it is simply twice the difficulty to seize the fish flavor, especially to make ten kinds of seasonings, which tests my understanding of the ingredients even more. Zhang Mingchuan looked at the contents on the door, and felt that it was better to steam himself.

After exiting the mysterious space, Zhang Mingchuan turned on his mobile phone and logged in to the merchant version of the takeaway platform, and sure enough, a new takeaway shop appeared, a [Steamed Fish Basic], lying alone in the ordering area, and the number of orders was zero.

glanced at the marked price, it was 188 yuan, Zhang Mingchuan felt that the price was ...... This is simply too conscientious, after all, there are many sea fish in the world whose prices are higher than this, and 188 yuan can only be regarded as a general price dish for many small and medium-sized restaurants, not to mention that his fish can be said to be a unique dish in his takeaway restaurant.

"Although it doesn't affect the time in this world to catch new ingredients, it is quite energy-consuming to find ingredients and develop new dishes nowadays, but I'm afraid that my time will be very tight in the future." Zhang Mingchuan knows that with this dish in his hand alone, not to mention the invincible opponents all over the world, he will definitely be able to guarantee that he will not die of hunger, and he believes that as long as he has eaten this steamed fish, it will be inevitable that he will become a repeat customer.

Everyone has a dream, even if many people's dream is to lie flat and have endless money, and Zhang Mingchuan also has his own dream to carry forward the inherited ancestral cooking skills, which is a inheritance flowing in the blood.

Now this opportunity is in front of him, and there is a unique free tour of the Flood World, so how can he be willing to give up.

"The goal now is to develop ten steamed meiyu with different ingredients to enhance the freshness, and continue to explore more exotic ingredients." Zhang Mingchuan was highly motivated.

After packing up, Zhang Mingchuan still came to the vegetable market he frequented as usual, thinking about finding inspiration for suitable ingredients.

"Young man from the Zhang family, look at my cucumbers, eggplants, and tomatoes, all of which are grown in my yard, and the organic fertilizer applied is very fresh when I just pick them." The aunt who bought vegetables shouted Zhang Mingchuan enthusiastically.

I used to follow my grandfather every day at four or five o'clock in the morning to buy vegetables in the vegetable market, and it can be said that I am very familiar with the vendors in this vegetable market, after all, a handsome guy in his twenties still appears in this kind of place where uncles and aunts are the mainstream groups every day, which inevitably impresses the vendors even more.

Along the way, I greeted the vendors who often came and went, and came to the condiment area, all kinds of chili spices, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, a dazzling array of chili spices, chili spices tend to be on the heavy side, and a little bit will rob the umami of the fish.

"Sesame oil? Sesame oil? Steamed fish with soy sauce? The oil of this fish itself is relatively rich in fish, so let's try the water first with a variety of oils. Zhang Mingchuan walked around and still didn't have the slightest clue, so he referred to the usual practice of steaming fish, and wanted to see if only adding one thing was considered successful, at least it was not empty-handed.

Back home, with the help of the almighty Wandu Encyclopedia, I carefully understood the different ingredients of steamed fish across the country.

"Sesame oil version, steamed fish soy sauce version, ham and mushroom version, lemon juice version, cabbage pork version, coriander version, dried scallop bamboo shoot version, Shao wine version, cooked chicken fat chicken soup version, ham fresh bamboo shoot version." Looking at the practices summarized in the notebook, Zhang Mingchuan couldn't help but sigh that Donghua is worthy of being rich in resources, and there are so many ways to make a steamed fish all over the country.

Because we have succeeded in making the basic version before, the only problem now is the proportion of these ingredients.

"Let's start with the simplest ingredients." Zhang Mingchuan, who became more and more proficient, began to make constant adjustments.

【Perfect Quality Steamed Fish with Lemon Juice】The sourness of the lemon volatilizes during the steaming process, leaving only the slight acidity and fruity aroma that seeps into the fish.

【Perfect quality steamed meiyu and coriander version】After coming out of the pot, sprinkle with coriander, and lightly drizzle a layer of hot oil, the form is greater than the taste.

【Perfect quality steamed fish and steamed fish soy sauce version】Generally, families will put some steamed fish soy sauce.

【Perfect quality steamed fish with sesame oil version】The second soup left over from the steamed fish is made into a sauce and mixed with sesame oil.

……

Zhang Mingchuan found that in addition to the fish that need to be caught, the rest of the ingredients will be inexhaustible in this mysterious space as long as they exist in the kitchen of the courtyard.

Although there is no concept of time in the mysterious space, it is also a very boring and energy-consuming thing to constantly develop new flavors, plus you need to go out to buy Jinhua ham, free-range chicken, fresh bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots, Shao wine, and scallops, so it took two days in the real world to complete these ten steamed meiyu.

Open the merchant version of the takeaway platform, [Steamed Fish Basic Edition] has become [Steamed Fish], and there are four more small words in the lower right corner of this dish.

"When will I have a bosom friend who knows how to eat?" As Zhang Mingchuan expected, after two days, the sales volume was still 0, which was in response to the sentence that everything was difficult at the beginning. Zhang Mingchuan is now full of confidence in his steamed fish, so looking at the sales volume that is still 0 after two days, he will feel that the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

"For the past two days, I have been steaming the fish, and I will definitely get tired of eating it as usual, but now I feel sweet and sweet, and I don't get tired of eating it, and this fish should not be as simple as just being delicious." Because Zhang Mingchuan felt that although he slept for two or three hours a day in the past two days, it seemed that these two or three hours had become ultra-deep sleep, and he could keep himself energetic all day, don't forget that his time in the mysterious space has not been counted.

With the completion of the ten steamed fish, there is finally a change in the two doors of Xuanjiao.

"The mountain of Mencius has many trees, many peaches and plums, many grasses and bacteria, and many elks in its beasts. There is water on it, the name is Biyang, and there are many tuna in it. "It's shown on the door on the right.

"Automatic delivery has been opened, please make a [Perfect Quality Fried Rice with Dried Mushrooms]" is displayed on the door on the left.

"Automatic order delivery? Is it such a black technology? This allows me to devote more energy to my cooking. Zhang Mingchuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this magical function, and then looked at the detailed introduction of Monsan, and muttered, "This should be a good place for spring picnics." ”
