This was a Yangzhou fried rice that was full of flaws.
However, this was also the first time that Anna had cooked Yangzhou fried rice with a spoon.
Meg swallowed the fried rice and gave her a thumbs-up with a smile. "Overall, it's not bad. However, there's still a lot of room for improvement in the control of the fire, the technique, and the use of salt. However, it's already very impressive for Anna to be able to do this for the first time."
"It seems that there are still many flaws. However, I'll continue to work hard." Anna nodded with a happy smile on her face.
"Anna, wait for me here for a while. We'll go to the market later and buy some ingredients for you to practice." Meg reached out and touched Anna's head. Then, he turned around and went upstairs.
Tapping on the glittering recipe in his mind, a stream of information flowed directly into his mind.
Congee with pork and century egg. It wasn't a complicated congee, but it was delicious enough.
Cooking the congee itself wasn't a complicated job. However, making the delicious century egg was the most difficult process in this dish.
Century egg was also known as century egg.
It could be considered as a kind of dark eastern cuisine.
Meg had an average impression of century egg. He didn't like it very much, but he didn't hate it either. If he could come across a plate of salad with century egg that tasted good, he would still eat a few pieces.
According to the usual method, it would take about 30 days to make century egg.
After the System's upgrade process and the modification of the cooking utensils, the curing time of century egg was shortened from 30 days to three days.
However, in this way, even if Meg learned how to make congee with pork and century egg tonight, he still wouldn't be able to present a bowl of piping hot congee with pork and century egg to the cleaners tomorrow morning due to the lack of ingredients.
"System, are you digging a hole for me? Can congee with pork and century egg without century egg still be called congee with pork and century egg? "Meg rolled his eyes and said.
"Host, please don't worry. As long as the host can learn how to cook congee with pork and century egg, the System has already prepared the century egg you need for three days. It won't affect the sales," the System replied.
"What kind of egg are you using? How much is a century egg? "Meg continued to ask.
"The system uses the duck eggs of the Cashmere Duck from the Morning Light Lake in the northwest of the Twilight Forest. The Cashmere Duck is a level three magical beast. It feeds on fish and its eggs are rich in nutrients. It tastes sweet and cool and has the effect of nourishing yin and clearing the lungs. It lays only one egg per month and the quantity is extremely small."
"The century eggs made by this system are made from the yellow soil of Vic Mountain and the ashes from the rice that was irrigated by the Water of Life …"
"Alright, just tell me the price." Meg rolled his eyes.
"The price of a century egg as an ingredient is 200 copper coins. A century egg can be used to cook four bowls of congee with pork and century egg," the system replied.
Meg thought for a while and asked, "System, if I use ordinary duck eggs and materials that are relatively easy to obtain to make century eggs, what's the cost of one century egg?"
"Host, as a candidate for the God of Cookery, it's the most basic character to use the most perfect ingredients to cook delicious food for the customers. In the case where there are excellent ingredients to choose from, how can you use ordinary ingredients to make up the numbers? This is not in line with the identity and taste of the God of Cookery …"
"First of all, I'm an owner who needs to consider the profits of the restaurant. While doing good deeds, I have to control the investment cost and prevent the restaurant from being exposed to risks because of my personal feelings and actions. This is a sign of having a brain and has nothing to do with identity and taste," Meg calmly interrupted the System.
"However, using ordinary ingredients can't perfectly display the deliciousness of this dish. It's not in line with the host's ability as a candidate for the God of Cookery. It's not conducive to building the reputation of the God of Cookery," the System insisted.
"I'll use ordinary ingredients and the most sincere cooking skills to serve a bowl of congee with pork and century egg to these hardworking cleaners. The purpose is not to start a journey of gourmet food for them, but to let them work continuously in the cold for a few hours so that they can have a bowl of piping hot and delicious congee. This will make it easier for them to get through this cold winter.
System, you're neglecting the essentials and focusing on the details. You haven't grasped the real point. "
Mag pursed his lips mockingly, and then directly said, "Prepare 33 servings of ordinary century eggs for me. The market price of an ordinary duck egg is two copper coins each. I'll charge you five copper coins for the processing fee, and I'll give you three copper coins for the consumption. One ordinary century egg will be 10 copper coins."
"Host, you …"
"It's settled then." Meg calmly interrupted the System and continued, "For the congee with pork and century egg sold in the restaurant, I'll get the best century egg from you."
"I …"
"You'll be responsible for the supply of ordinary century eggs in the future. The order is stable, the price is fair, and the profit margin is more than five times. This kind of business, if you miss this village, there won't be such a shop again," Meg said with a smile.
"I'll do it!" the System almost blurted out.
The corners of Meg's mouth curled up slightly. After confirming the ingredients in his mind, he turned around and went downstairs with a basket of vegetables. He brought Anna out to buy ingredients.
Learning to cook required a large amount of ingredients. The cost of ingredients in the fridge was too high, so Meg planned to let Anna practice with ordinary ingredients first, just like Phyllis did previously.
What he wanted to buy were the ingredients needed to make breakfast for the cleaners tomorrow morning. Reducing the cost of doing good deeds was the way to go in the long run.
Meg's money didn't fall from the sky. He still had his own standards for doing things at different stages.
100 duck eggs, two bags of good quality pearl rice, a piece of lean meat, and various ingredients needed to make century eggs … When they came out of the market, Meg's basket was already filled with various ingredients.
"Send the rice to Amy's in half an hour." Meg said to the rice shop owner who was loading the cart. He carried the basket and took Anna to a building material store not far from the market. After buying some yellow soil and plant ash, they returned to the restaurant.
"Uncle Meg, are you planting flowers?" Anna asked curiously as she looked at Meg, who put down the yellow soil and plant ash and other things.
"No, I'm planning to make a dish called century eggs." Meg shook his head and put the things behind the cabinet. He had to wait until he entered the test field for the God of Cookery tonight before he could start making century eggs.
"Century eggs?" Anna thought for a while. She had never heard of this dish.
However, she had never heard of any of the dishes that Uncle Meg made, but they always brought her surprises.
"Anna, if you want to continue practicing, you can use these ingredients first. When you can make Yangzhou fried rice to my satisfaction, you can use the ingredients in the fridge." Meg took out the ingredients that belonged to Anna and put them on the cutting table with a smile.
