The reason why Yan Nantian proposed to find tailors and children to do propaganda was also out of a helpless move, because this world is equivalent to ancient China, and cultural knowledge and printing technology are not popular.

According to Yan Nantian's experience on the earth, the easiest and fastest way is to publicize words, but the writing in this world is not popular, and many people don't know words at all.

In addition to text publicity, Yan Nantian also thought about album publicity, with some portraits of dishes on it, but the current printing technology is not up to standard, and it is also unable to achieve the effect.

After these two methods didn't work, Yan Nancai thought of the current method, and then sold a pass, saying:

"Dawa, don't ask yet, you'll know when you come back. ”

"Dacheng, Dawa, then you can run. Yan Yunhua commanded and said.

If Yan Yunhua had a way, the restaurant would not have fallen like this, and now Yan Nantian has an idea in his heart, which is better than a group of people being stunned.

"Yes, old shopkeeper. Seeing that Yan Yunhua also spoke, Zhou Dacheng agreed, and then walked out of Yipinju with his son.

"Xiaotian, there are still seven days to go, do you think the business of the restaurant can really improve?" Seeing Zhou Dacheng's father and son leaving, Yan Yunhua asked a little confused.

"Grandpa, don't worry, you will definitely be able to!" Yan Nantian said confidently.

"Hopefully. Yan Yunhua nodded, still not having much confidence in his heart.

"Grandpa, let's go to the back kitchen now, no matter how good the publicity is, it is just an auxiliary means, and in the end, we still have to rely on delicious dishes to attract guests. Yan Nan Tian Ti yì said.

"You're right, I'll show you there. As soon as he mentioned the back kitchen, Yan Yunhua had a little more energy, and walked towards the east with Yan Nantian.

Yan Nantian was reborn for half a month, but he hadn't entered the back kitchen yet, and he couldn't help but be a little excited at this time, wanting to see what the back kitchen of the other world was like.

The kitchen of Yipinju is on the east side of the first floor, the area of the kitchen is not very large, only more than 20 square meters, and there are two tall stoves on the right side, which are used to make a fire and cook.

In the middle is a long wooden table, with a round board on one side and knives, pots, bowls, scoops, pots, and some vegetables and spices on the other.

On the left side were piles of lumber, and wooden cabinets more than a man high, and above the roof was not vacant, on which hung several iron hooks with a few pieces of cured bacon.

The most eye-catching thing in the whole back kitchen is the wall directly opposite the doorway, which enshrines a portrait of an old man with a long beard, and the words 'kitchen god' are written in the lower right corner of the portrait.

"Xiaotian, quickly put incense on the master of the kitchen god, let him bless you with peace and security, and bless us with a good life to survive this catastrophe. Yan Yunhua walked into Chu Feng, saluted the portrait of the kitchen god, and then commanded Yan Nantian on the side.

"Yes, Grandpa. Yan Nantian responded, although he didn't have much respect for the so-called kitchen god in his heart, he still followed his grandfather's words and respectfully saluted the incense.

After Yan Nantian worshiped the god of cooking, he observed the environment of the back kitchen, which is now very similar to the back kitchen in ancient China, but the vegetables on the table are a little different.

When it comes to cooking, the importance of ingredients is self-evident, Yan Nantian carefully observed the vegetables and seasonings on the table, and combined with the memories in this body, there are several foods similar to the earth.

Among them, there are soybeans, cabbage, cucumbers, etc., although the taste is somewhat different, but the difference is not very big, and the seasoning also has sour, sweet, spicy and other flavors, but it has the basic cooking requirements.

After Yan Nantian finished reading the vegetables and spices, he looked at the iron hook on the side, on which hung several pieces of cured meat, similar to pork on the earth, but the meat was firmer.

"Xiaotian, have you observed for so long, do you see what is coming?" Yan Yunhua asked.

"Grandpa, there are a lot of vegetables in this kitchen, why is there only one kind of meat, and it's still cured bacon, and there is no other fresh meat?" Yan Nantian asked.

"Xiaotian, you are not at home, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Yan Yunhua sighed and said: "Since ancient times, the cost of raising livestock is too high, one pound of meat can be exchanged for more than ten catties of rice noodles, and the price of meat is high, where can ordinary people afford it?"

"Outside Wujiang Town, isn't there an eternal forest? why don't you go hunting in the forest?" Yan Nantian wondered.

"Silly boy, the creatures that live in the Eternal Forest are all high-grade monsters, powerful, rough skin and thick flesh, difficult to be injured by swords and difficult to invade by flames, even if there are real monster ingredients, ordinary chefs can't even break the skin of monsters, let alone cook dishes. Yan Yunhua shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Grandpa, I've heard, did anyone make a dish out of Warcraft's meat, and how did those chefs do it?" Yan Nantian asked.

"That's not an ordinary chef, but a noble and powerful 'spirit chef'. Yan Yunhua explained.

"What's the difference between a chef and a spirit chef?" Yan Nantian asked.

"Chefs cook for ordinary people, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can do it; And the spirit kitchen is to cook dishes for cultivators, each of them is a great person, and the entire Wujiang Town is one of the few. Yan Nantian said with reverence.

"Then how can you become a spirit chef?" Yan Nan Tiandao.

"If you want to become a spirit chef, the prerequisite is to become a cultivator and have spiritual power, spiritual sense, and spiritual fire. Yan Yunhua showed a solemn look on his face and explained:

"Spiritual power, which can break the flesh and skin, muscles and bones of the Warcraft, spiritual fire, which can roast the flesh and blood of the Warcraft, and spiritual sense, which can accurately judge the spiritual power contained in the dishes, make the spiritual power of the dishes easier to be absorbed by the human body, and only when these three are combined can the flesh and blood of the Warcraft be cooked into dishes containing spiritual power. ”

After hearing Yan Yunhua's explanation, Yan Nantian couldn't help but grow his mouth, feeling that there was a door in the sky opening to him, wasn't the spirit kitchen exactly what he had been pursuing?

On the earth, Yan Nantian has been pursuing the way of cooking, however, the spiritual power of the earth is thin, the ingredients are ordinary, and he has not achieved much in his life.

Now that Yan Nantian has come to the other world, he also understands the power and magic of the spirit kitchen, and naturally wants to become a spirit chef, so that he can realize the value of his life and not be in vain for him to cross into the other world.

Seeing Yan Nantian's yearning look, Yan Yunhua couldn't help but shake his head slightly, once upon a time he also wanted to become a spirit chef, but after he really came into contact with the spirit kitchen, he realized how ridiculous his ideas were, and how difficult it was to become a spirit chef.

"Xiaotian, you don't have to be ambitious, instead of fantasizing about becoming a spirit chef, it is better to become a chef in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Yes. Yan Nantian responded, took a deep breath, and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Becoming a spirit chef is of course Yan Nantian's goal, but from Yan Yunhua's description, Yan Nantian can also hear that the spirit chef is not so easy to be.

Moreover, compared with the ** who has become a spirit chef, the predicament of Yipinju is more urgent, otherwise, once you can't earn rent within seven days, the survival of both grandparents and grandchildren is a problem, let alone becoming a spirit chef.

Only by doing a good job in the business of Yipinju Restaurant can Yan Nantian have a guarantee of survival in the other world, and with a certain amount of economic ability and connections, he can be qualified to pursue the path of spiritual kitchen.

People must have lofty goals, but also be able to be down-to-earth, so that they can take one step at a time, steadily move towards the goal, and there will always be a successful day.

With the desire to become a spiritual chef pressed in his heart, Yan Nantian's mind returned to the back kitchen and began to think about what dishes to make, so as to be able to revitalize Yipinju Restaurant in a short period of time.

According to Yan Yunhua's previous description, because of the high price of meat, most people can't afford to eat it, so Yan Nantian put the focus of the dish on making zuò vegetarian dishes.

It's just that after Yan Nantian tossed for a long time, he looked at all the vegetables, and always felt as if something was missing, and finally suddenly thought that he didn't see tofu.

Tofu is an indispensable delicacy on the Chinese table, and its history has been traced back to the Han Dynasty for more than 2,000 years.

Tofu is known as "plant-based meat", mainly processed from soybeans, soybeans contain more protein and fat, so the nutritional value of tofu is also higher.

In ancient China, meat was also a luxury, and people could not eat it all year round, and the taste of tofu was similar to meat, and many people used tofu instead of meat.

Moreover, the taste of the tofu itself is not large, it is considered a versatile ingredient, and there are many dishes to be made, such as mapo tofu, Dongpo tofu, crispy tofu, tofu mixed with shallots, stinky tofu......

It can be said that in the case of lack of meat, tofu is the best substitute, but Yan Nantian didn't see it, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Grandpa, why is there no tofu in this kitchen?"

"Tofu!"

Hearing Yan Nantian's words, Yan Yunhua scratched his head and asked with some surprise, "What is tofu?"
