After giving some instructions to Mao Ye, Yuan Zhou returned to the second floor of the restaurant. He still had something important to do.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Finally, my dream has come true." Yuan Zhou was in a good mood.
The reason why he was happy was that the reward was definitely going to be abundant. Previously, the blessing mission rewarded him with a title and Monkey Wine, not to mention the main mission.
In the next second, the system listed the mission bar —
[Main Mission] Master of Masters 3 (Completed)
[Mission Description] Obtain the four highest honors in the domestic cooking world, namely the horizontal board of Jiangsu Cuisine, the silver spoon of Shandong Cuisine, the wasted stove of Cantonese Cuisine, and the achievement of an old chef of the Sichuan Cuisine Association.
[Mission Progress] (4/4)
(System's comment: You, who holds the four godly tools of the Chinese cooking world, can already say, "I'm invincible, you can do whatever you want.")
[Mission Reward] Hunan Cuisine
"Directly rewarding me with a cuisine. What a generous reward. The main mission is rich, but what's with the system's comment?" Yuan Zhou suspected that the system was trying to make its presence known.
After calming himself down, Yuan Zhou sat down on the stool in a ceremonial manner and said calmly, "Receive the reward."
As soon as Yuan Zhou finished his words, various cooking methods appeared one after another, such as Jiuxiao Mountain Rabbit, Steamed Preserved Meat, Sister Dumplings, Ningxiang Snake, Chili Stir-Fried Meat, and a series of Hunan Cuisine all poured into Yuan Zhou's brain.
As one of the eight major cuisines, Hunan Cuisine originated from the Xiangjiang region. In the Xiangjiang region, it was called Native Cuisine, just like how Shanghai Cuisine was called Native Cuisine in Shanghai.
There were three main types: Xiangjiang Region, Xiangxi Region, and Dongting Lake Region.
Hunan Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine, and Jiangxi Cuisine were similar to each other to a certain extent. Of course, this was normal. After all, no cuisine was completely unrelated to the neighboring provinces.
However, Hunan Cuisine naturally had its own style. After obtaining the Hunan Cuisine, Yuan Zhou concluded that it was "Three Flavors", namely spicy, fresh, and tender. Among them, spicy was the best.
That's why there's the saying, "People from Hunan aren't afraid of spicy food, people from Jiangxi aren't afraid of spicy food, and people from Sichuan aren't afraid of spicy food." Of course, there are many ways this saying can be arranged, but it also shows that people from Jiangxi, Sichuan, and Hunan provinces can really eat spicy food.
Changsha Smelly Tofu, Snail Slices, Sugar-Fried Dung Pancakes, Flavored Shrimps, Liuyang Oil Pancakes, Braised Pig Trotters, and so on. In addition to Chinese cuisines, there were also Hunan cuisines. Yuan Zhou knew these from his memory and felt hungry.
"The menu is going to get thicker," Yuan Zhou muttered.
However, Yuan Zhou did not intend to put Hunan cuisine on the menu immediately. Firstly, even if Yuan Zhou had obtained the complete inheritance and memories of all the cuisines, he would still have to study them by himself. Practice makes perfect. Secondly, a lot of things were involved in the next cuisine. For example, he definitely had to take in two nominal disciples of the Hunan Cuisine.
Otherwise, Yuan Zhou could imagine how the Hunan Cuisine Association would react just by thinking about it.
The last reason was that the Bogus World Cooking Competition wasn't far away. What was more important now was to learn the Spanish cuisine first. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou intended to familiarize himself with the new cuisines first. As for the new cuisines, he would think about it after he came back from France.
The system suddenly displayed, "Host, please continue to learn culinary skills diligently and become a Master Chef who knows both Chinese and Western cuisines well."
Every time he heard the system shout slogans so diligently, he always had a toothache. It was probably because the style wasn't suitable for him. Yuan Zhou pondered inwardly whether he should change it or not.
For an instant, Yuan Zhou pulled his attention back to the proper business.
"System, check the progress of the Spanish mission," Yuan Zhou asked.
Previously, Alex had brought over a dozen Spaniards here for a meal. This had given Yuan Zhou quite a pleasant surprise. He decided that if he wanted to make some jam in the future, he would give a bottle to Alex. He was truly a lucky star.
When it came to professional questions, the system always responded quickly. It directly displayed the current progress of the Spanish mission, 19/20.
"One short. There are still two weeks left. It should be enough." Yuan Zhou was thinking about how much time he would have to practice Spanish cuisine after he received the reward.
However, Yuan Zhou wasn't too anxious. He had walked out of this situation step by step by himself. He had always believed that haste makes waste. Taking things slowly was the right way.
"Hopefully, the mission can be completed tomorrow," Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
It wasn't Yuan Zhou's daydream. Ever since Juan and Lin Wan had eaten here, they often came here for meals. Of course, the frequency was only once a week. When they came last time, however, Yuan Zhou found that they had brought a new friend, a Spaniard, who also contributed a quota.
It was almost time for them to come here for a meal as usual. If they could bring a new Spaniard friend, the mission would be completed. Therefore, Yuan Zhou paid more attention to the typical characters who triggered the mission.
"The Monkey Wine has been prepared. There won't be any problem tomorrow." Yuan Zhou put aside the mission and began to organize the matters for the Wine Tasting Conference tomorrow.
Zhou Shijie had completed the task perfectly. Although there were only a dozen names on the list reported to Yuan Zhou, they were all well-known people in the wine circle of China. Therefore, Yuan Zhou wanted to prepare it safely so that Uncle Zhou wouldn't lose face.
"System, the Wine Tasting Conference is tomorrow. As the system, do you have any support?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of something and asked directly.
"Awesome!" After a long silence, the system displayed.
Yuan Zhou was stupefied. The support was just an "Awesome!"? Did it have to be so timid?
"I mean, is there any wine-making teaching?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, "Host, this system is the Master Chef System."
"Fine. You are the system. You have the final say." Yuan Zhou decided to cook a midnight snack for himself to calm down. The system was really useless this time!
"Da Dadada Ta"
Without hesitation, Yuan Zhou straightaway stood up and went downstairs, intending to cook. The pub time hadn't ended yet. When he went downstairs, he could still vaguely hear people talking over there.
However, even with Yuan Zhou's hearing ability, he couldn't hear what they were talking about. The system still paid great attention to protecting the privacy of the customers.
However, the sounds of people added some liveliness to the quiet and peaceful night. This was the atmosphere of the human world.
Originally, Yuan Zhou intended to cook a braised pig trotter in Hunan cuisine to chew. However, he suddenly thought of something.
He directly walked to the counter and squatted down at a dark brown jar. "Gee, the salted duck eggs I've improved are ready. In that case, I might as well make an eggplant with salted egg yolk."
This jar of duck eggs was pickled when he was making the kimchi last time. Besides, the duck eggs weren't provided by the system, but brought by the granny.
Previously, the granny seemed to have gone out with her friends and bought them in the countryside. She said they were pure free-range duck eggs and specially brought them for Yuan Zhou to taste.
Duck eggs weren't as common as chicken eggs. Therefore, Yuan Zhou thought of pickling them into salted duck eggs at that time.
