Speaking of the white water, he didn't have it in the beginning. It was obtained by completing a small mission.
About one year ago, the system suddenly appeared and said, "Congratulations, host. You have been a chef for 1,000 days and obtained the achievement of Thousand Days Chef. You are rewarded with a cup of plain water."
"Next 2,000 days, you will obtain the achievement of 2,000 days chef and be rewarded with three kinds of plain water."
Let alone others, even Yuan Zhou was stupefied when he saw the system's words at that time.
Rewarded with plain water? Brother System was really generous. At that time, Yuan Zhou was practicing his carving skills, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the system always gave small rewards suddenly.
What Old Lu ordered was the plain water awarded by Thousand Days Chef.
"Wow, it's bubble water again." Lu Yong looked at the water that was carried to him.
It was an ordinary white glass cup, which looked similar to the cup in the Welcoming Set Meal. They were probably produced by the same manufacturer. The only difference was that the cup was taller than the previous one.
The cup of water in the Welcoming Set Meal was about 100ml. However, this cup was obviously taller and could contain about 150ml of water.
The glass was more transparent than ordinary glasses, as if there was no barrier. If it weren't for the tiny bubbles in the water and the obvious water level, Lu Yong would have thought it was empty.
"80 RMB for a cup. Actually, it's not expensive. It's much cheaper than 20 Euros for a cup of plain water when I went to the two-star Michelin restaurant in France." Lu Yong smacked his lips. However, he wasn't in a hurry to drink the water. The most important thing was to eat the delicious food.
He straightforwardly reached out his chopsticks to the remaining dishes. First was the Pickled Pepper Bullfrog.
The unique pickled pepper matched with the fresh and tender frog meat perfectly matched the spiciness and tenderness. Especially the Pickled Sea Pepper of The Kitchen God, it was really sour and spicy at the same time.
Old Lu also liked to eat the skin of the frog. Although it looked a little scary and many girls couldn't stand it, it was really delicious when cooked.
"No wonder I can't forget this taste. It's really delicious." While eating, Lu Yong inhaled. His mouth felt hot like an erupting volcano.
"I think I'd better drink some water first." Looking at the half-eaten dish, Lu Yong felt that it was necessary for him to slow down. It was better for him to drink slowly.
He took the cup and drank a mouthful of water. Lu Yong's originally squinted eyes revealed a reminiscing expression.
It would be an exaggeration to say that a glass of sparkling mineral water tasted so good that it was worth reminiscing about. Old Lu felt that the taste was a little familiar.
"Could this be?"
Somewhat doubting his own judgment, Lu Yong took another sip in disbelief and found that the water did indeed have a unique sour taste.
"Little girl, I also want a cup of watermelon juice." Old Lu ordered another cup of watermelon juice.
After it was served, he used the watermelon juice to remove the sour and spicy taste of the Pickled Pepper Bullfrog in his mouth before drinking the water.
The slight sourness indeed came from the bubbling water, and it had a special texture.
"That's true. My memory shouldn't be wrong, but is Boss Yuan really that powerful?"
In fact, Lu Yong couldn't be blamed for thinking that it was amazing. He knew that the ingredients of The Kitchen God were very precious, and he could tell from the wine that they were all of the highest quality.
The dishes he had eaten today were also of the highest quality. However, Lu Yong wasn't a professional food critic like Lee Yanyi, nor was he a rich man like Ling Hong. Thus, he couldn't taste the specific source of the food and had never asked about it. Therefore, he didn't have a strong intuition about how powerful Yuan Zhou was.
However, Lu Yong drank the water.
Precisely speaking, the reason why Old Lu remembered the bubbling water with a strange sour taste was that it wasn't tasty. Old Lu even felt that it wasn't as tasty as the Nongfu Spring Water. It was the strange sour taste that Lu Yong remembered after drinking it once.
"Little girl, please have another sip." Lu Yong waved his hand at Su Ruoyan.
Lu Yong was quite familiar with Mao Ye when he was on the night shift. However, he had never seen Su Ruoyan when she was on the day shift. Although Su Ruoyan and Mao Ye had exchanged shifts once, Old Lu was unlucky that day and didn't draw her.
"Customer, what can I do for you?" Su Ruoyan walked over quickly.
"Is this bubbling water Chateldon?" Although Old Lu was quite sure, he still asked again to confirm it.
"Yes." Su Ruoyan answered affirmatively. The reason why she was so sure was that a customer had drunk it before Old Lu came here. At that time, Yuan Zhou had given an affirmative answer.
"When did our Kitchen God get promoted to Michelin Two Stars? When did such a big event happen? How could I miss it?" Lu Yong revealed a look of grievance.
"Eh … I don't think so. Our boss has never applied for a Michelin rating. He has also rejected it before. Such a thing has never happened." Su Ruoyan was almost fooled by Lu Yong's affirmative expression and thought that something she didn't know had happened.
However, she was at work every day and her boss would definitely inform her if something happened. How could such a big event happen without any notice? Therefore, she was just stupefied for a while and then denied it directly. Su Ruoyan had memorized the history of the restaurant by heart.
"No?" Old Lu's tone was filled with doubt.
Su Ruoyan was more certain this time, "No!"
She thought of her boss's words, "Why should foreigners comment on Chinese dishes? If it's delicious, they can come and eat it. Just say 666. "
Lu Yong knitted his brows in puzzlement and sighed inwardly, "This Boss Yuan is too capable. His small restaurant is going to soar to the sky."
In fact, the reason why Lu Yong asked nervously was that CHATELDON was the water enjoyed by the French royal family. It originated from King Louis XIV of France in 1650. During his reign, Louis XIV regularly sent guards to the south-central region of France to collect water from CHATELDON. Of course, this background was not the main point.
No matter how glorious the background was, it was all in the past. Most importantly, Old Lu knew that CHATELDON was a mineral water protected by the French government.
This was the top sparkling mineral water of France. In Europe, only restaurants with Michelin Two Stars and above would sell it. Moreover, the annual production was also limited.
The Kitchen God was neither a Michelin star nor in Europe. How did he bypass the French government to get it? Old Lu couldn't figure it out.
"Boss Yuan, isn't CHATELDON only sold in Michelin Two Stars restaurants?"
Lu Yong asked directly when he saw Yuan Zhou carrying the dishes out again. He felt like a cat was scratching his heart. Without a definite answer, he felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"It's just a glass of plain water. There's nothing strange about it." Yuan Zhou glanced at the glass Lu Yong was pointing at.
Indeed, it wasn't strange. The sparkling water was collected from the large water tank at the back. Due to the sour taste, even Yuan Zhou didn't drink it.
Strictly speaking, the plain water in the Welcoming Set Meal was much more precious. However, the taste wasn't as unique, so it was hard to taste it.
"Ahem," Lu Yong was speechless and didn't know what to say. Thousands of words turned into one sentence: Boss Yuan is awesome!
