On the last day of the old year, many people had the same idea as Dong Fang. They put a lot of things that should be celebrated and luxurious on this day.
In addition, it was the first day of the new year. Therefore, many people had free time. All the supermarkets, tourist attractions, and restaurants were full of people. Naturally, the Kitchen God was no exception.
Lunchtime passed slowly. After seeing off the last customer, Yuan Zhou entered the kitchen as usual. He bent over and took out a porcelain bowl from a cabinet under the counter.
Most of the cabinets under the counter were used by the system to store all kinds of ingredients. Although it was a narrow space, there were definitely a lot of ingredients in it. After all, it was supported by the black technology of the system. As long as the system was alive, there would be no shortage of ingredients!
There was a relatively large cabinet that was a little special. It was specially used to store some special things, such as the wild honey used to make honey tremella. There was only a little bit of it every month. Every time he got it, he would put it in this cabinet. The other one was the bowl that he had just taken out.
At this time, there was a large peach gum in the bowl that had been soaked to perfection. It was dark reddish-brown in color and had a plump shape. It looked soft and sticky, making people want to pinch it.
Like the wild honey, the peach gum was also collected by Yuan Zhou after a long journey. It was just that he didn't meet Mr. Ma. It was definitely less dangerous to collect peach gum than to collect wild honey, although these peach trees almost all grew on the cliffs of the mountain.
Probably because of the high altitude and abundant sunshine, the peach gum looked extraordinarily plump and beautiful after being beaten by wind and rain. Even though it was already dried on the tree trunk, it was still bigger than usual. Each peach gum was about the size of a quail's egg. After soaking, it was even bigger than a pigeon's egg.
There was no need to worry about being stung by bees. However, climbing a mountain was also hard work. Moreover, some peach trees happened to grow on the cliffs, so it was not easy to scrape off the peach gum.
After a friendly negotiation with the system, Yuan Zhou added another dish with the number 2 on the menu. Different from the Honey Tremella with the number 1, the serving of the dish depended on the mood of the bees, while the Milk Peach Gum Dish depended on the people.
"According to the schedule, it should be coming tonight. The peach gum is just ready. It should be no problem to stew it in a while."
Yuan Zhou carefully looked at the situation of the peach gum and found that it had been soaked very well. He immediately felt relieved.
Then, he didn't go upstairs to wash up or practice cooking. Instead, he took out his phone to do the most important thing, which was to start counting.
This was probably the only drawback of digital dishes. It was more laborious.
Clang! Clang!
Yuan Zhou shook the phone slightly. He had slowly figured out a set of rules for shaking the phone. If he wanted to shake the phone as small as possible, he couldn't shake it too much. Otherwise, he would shake out some very large numbers.
The first number was 15, which was relatively small, but it was still a long way from the 2 that Yuan Zhou wanted. Now was the time where he had yet to succeed, and he still needed to work hard. Even Yuan Zhou couldn't shake the number he wanted, so he could only shake it slowly.
"Five. It's already very close. If I shake it a little more, it might be almost there."
"Three. Just a little bit more. It should be soon."
After shaking it several times, it hovered around 2. Once, he even shook out the 1 of honey tremella, but he didn't shake out the 2. There was no one else who could do it.
However, God rewarded those who worked hard. After shaking it for more than 20 times, Yuan Zhou finally shook out the number 2 that he wanted. Then, he asked the system to add the milk peach gum under the column of digital dishes with a clear conscience.
In the middle of the menu of Master Chef Restaurant, there was a very special menu. Usually, there wasn't even a single word on the menu, only some faint lotus patterns. On certain days, one or two dishes would appear on the menu. The price was quite low, almost to the extent that it was free. Currently, there were already four such dishes on the menu. From 1 to 4, they were all the fruits of Yuan Zhou's hard work.
However, Yuan Zhou planned to get from 1 to 10 before he stopped, so he had been working hard to collect dishes.
After settling the price of the milk peach gum, Yuan Zhou looked at the time and began to practice cooking in the kitchen. The cafeteria test had not been completed yet. Although he had tried more than 10 kinds of ingredients, he hadn't found one that he was very satisfied with. He needed to continue practicing.
It was unknown when Yuan Zhou didn't just pursue success when doing tasks. Instead, he would submit the task after he was satisfied with himself. It was equivalent to a task with two checkpoints.
No one knew this except for the system. If other chefs knew Yuan Zhou's crazy requirements, they probably wouldn't want to compete with him anymore. The gap between them was really too big.
It was like you were still thinking about how to land on the moon, while the other party had already set up camp on the moon and thought about how to go to the sun. The gap between them could only be calculated in light years.
Time passed slowly as Yuan Zhou practiced and prepared the ingredients. Very soon, it was time to line up for dinner. Many people were waiting at Taoxi Road or nearby, so they came very quickly. Of course, there were also diners who rushed here from their workplace.
No matter if they were waiting here or rushing here, all of them moved uniformly. They looked at the queue and immediately went in. They were afraid that if they were late, they would be a few people behind. That would mean that they would be late for dinner. It was really intolerable. This kind of thing was absolutely intolerable.
The action of a young girl was particularly eye-catching. Of course, because everyone was busy lining up, only a few people noticed her. However, her action was indeed different from others.
She stood beside the line and didn't line up. Every time someone came, she would take a step back as if she was going to the back of the line. She was also muttering, counting '1, 2, 3 …' and many other numbers.
When it was about time, the young girl quickly went into the line. It was already the time for the last echelon.
Actually, in the blink of an eye, she was already in the line. Her speed was very fast. At first glance, it was obvious that she didn't not get in because she was slow, but because of some other reason.
Although the young girl's clothes were old, they were very clean and tidy. It was unknown whether it was because of her young face or she was originally young, but she looked only 15 or 16 years old.
She held an enamel jar in one hand and patted her violently rising and falling chest with the other. Obviously, she had used all her strength to line up.
The young girl, Tao Ran, took a deep breath and finally relaxed. "This time, I should be the last few in the line, right?"
It turned out that Tao Ran was counting the number of people just now. She knew how many people the restaurant could serve in a meal. Due to the special nature of the restaurant, she didn't want to disturb other diners, so she had always been at the back of the line. Of course, the best seats were at the back.
However, the number of people was sometimes changing. Although it wasn't big, it was enough for Tao Ran to not be the last every time. The last time she came here, she was directly last in the second last echelon due to a miscalculation. Therefore, she was extra cautious this time.
