"Host, you're being unfair here. As a candidate for the God of Cookery, you shouldn't be saying such unprofessional things." The system's serious voice sounded before it introduced in detail, "There are many different types of mooncakes in China. According to their origins, they are: Beijing style mooncakes, Cantonese style mooncakes, Suzhou style mooncakes, Taiwan style mooncakes, Yunnan style mooncakes, Hong Kong style mooncakes, Chao style mooncakes, Hui style mooncakes, Qu style mooncakes, and Qin style mooncakes.
In terms of flavors, there are sweet, salty, salty, sweet, and spicy. In terms of fillings, there are osmanthus mooncakes, plum mooncakes, five-kernel mooncakes, red bean paste, rock sugar, ginkgo, pork floss, black sesame, ham mooncakes, egg yolk mooncakes, and so on.
In terms of crust, there are starch crust, mixed sugar crust, puff crust, and cream crust. In terms of appearance, there are also smooth and lacy mooncakes. All types of mooncakes have their own unique flavors, and there are countless people who love them. As a chef, you should try to make every type of mooncake to the best of your ability, instead of narrow-mindedly judging them based on your own tastes.
Besides, are five-kernel mooncakes really that hard to swallow? No, there's no such thing as bad food, only bad chefs. In that case, let's start with making the most delicious five-kernel mooncakes. "
"…" Meg raised an eyebrow with a peculiar expression. "System, where did you copy this from? I'm aware that there are many types of mooncakes, but I really can't imagine what it's like to add meat to a mooncake. I have to make a perfect and delicious five-kernel mooncake; aren't you making things difficult for me? "
"Cooking is all about using ingredients and putting in effort. No matter how strange the recipe is, as long as you use the best ingredients and put in a lot of effort, you'll definitely be able to turn it into a delicious dish. I'm going to teach you the cooking methods for eight types of mooncakes, and I hope you'll be able to learn all of them in the meantime," the system said with a serious expression.
"Alright, it's good to have more flavors. Perhaps everyone will be able to have a memorable mid-autumn festival." Meg nodded. He was feeling a little troubled about how to learn the cooking methods for eight types of mooncakes in a short time, and he also had to squeeze out some time to practice his swordsmanship.
He pushed open the door to the test field for the God of Cookery with his spiritual power, and white light flashed, following which he found himself in a sealed kitchen. There were a few pots and mooncake molds on the stove, and everything looked very complete.
"Five kernels, five kernels. It was alright when I was young, but the more I grew up, the more I felt like it was the dark cuisine of the mooncake world. A small mooncake is stuffed with almonds, peach kernels, peanut kernels, hemp kernels, and melon seeds. The soft mooncake is wrapped around the hard nuts. Meg muttered a few words to himself. However, he was still seriously recalling how to make the five kernel mooncakes in his mind. He broke down each and every step in detail. After a while, he took out flour and various nuts from the cabinet and began to make the mooncakes.
The process of making mooncakes was quite complicated. The creation of the crust, filling, and baking all required good control. However, Meg had made so many baiji buns, so the creation of the crust was naturally not a problem for him. As for the filling, he had the assistance of a grinding tool, so it wasn't all that difficult to stuff the fillings into the mooncakes. The baking process was carried out in an oven, and after the mooncakes were baked to a golden brown, they were brushed with a layer of egg liquid before being placed back into the oven to bake. Thus, a set of five kernel mooncakes was completed.
Meg grabbed a handful of flour, and found that the white and smooth flour was completely devoid of any coarse particles. It was slightly different from the flour used to make baiji buns. The golden almonds were plump, while the white peach kernels, purple-skinned peanuts, hemp kernels, and melon seeds were all exuding a unique nutty fragrance.
Meg picked up a melon seed and placed it into his mouth. The melon seed's fragrance spread through his mouth, and after swallowing, the aftertaste lingered in his mouth.
"System, what kind of melon seeds are these?" Meg asked as his brows furrowed.
"Just right," the system replied.
"Are you happy to be cheeky?" Meg curled his lips. The quality of the melon seeds was just like the other ingredients produced by the system. A simple melon seed could bring about a wonderful experience. If the other nuts were of the same quality, even if he directly grabbed a handful of them and put them into his mouth, it would also be a delicious experience.
However, Meg felt that it was a pity that he had to wrap these top-notch nuts into the mooncakes to make five kernel mooncakes. It was simply a waste of top-notch ingredients.
"The system has selected and cultivated the melon seeds and planted them on the Taburata Highlands. With 16 hours of super long sunlight and fertile black soil, the best melon seeds will grow. Then, the most plump melon seeds will be selected to ensure that all of them are of the same size and that none of them will rot. The almonds are … "The system began to introduce the various ingredients in detail. One after another, strange places came out of its mouth. Meg had some memories of many of them. They were places that Meg Alex had been to before. Many of them were important places for various races. Normally speaking, no one would think of planting vegetables in those places.
"System, although I also want to make high-quality mooncakes, I plan to provide the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala tomorrow for free. Furthermore, I will only make them for one day. So, can the ingredients be slightly less high-end?" After listening to the system's introduction, Meg could already guess that the melon seeds were going to be sold by the seeds.
"Host, as an excellent chef, the most basic requirement is to carefully prepare every dish. This requirement should be done to the extreme from the moment you choose the ingredients. Choosing inferior ingredients when there are better options is a disrespect to the guests. It is also a blasphemy to the word 'chef'," the system's solemn voice sounded.
"System, do you think there's something wrong with my brain? I don't know how many people will come to the gala tomorrow, but it definitely won't be any less than the number of people who came to watch the gala tonight. Even if everyone only eats one mooncake, I'll have to give out at least two to three thousand mooncakes. Those are all free. If the cost of the ingredients is too high, won't I be making a huge loss? " Meg rolled his eyes with a grin, and said, "How about this? I'll take the 99 melon seeds that you discarded. I'll also take all of the almonds that were eliminated due to the difference in size. In any case, pack up all of the leftover ingredients that you chose for me. It's quite a pity that you threw them away, so I'll kindly accept all of them. I'll purchase them according to the current market price. I won't earn a single cent from this deal; I'm completely helping you, a vegetable farmer."
"Even though it sounds very reasonable, I still feel like something isn't quite right …" The system was a little hesitant as it said, "So, should I be moved?"
"Isn't this worth crying over?" Meg asked in a matter-of-fact manner. A faint smile appeared on his face as he washed his hands and began to knead the dough to make the mooncakes.
