The System was speechless.
Normally, it would not show up at this time. As a System that was very good at judging the situation, it would show up when it was necessary, and it would not show up when it was not.
Yuan Zhou did not expect any response from the System. He followed the pace he had in mind. After washing his hands and burning incense, he found a chair and sat down properly. After making sure that his posture was perfect, Yuan Zhou closed his eyes slightly and stared at the wheel in his mind. "Receive the reward."
The System, which seemed to have been disconnected, immediately began to act when it heard Yuan Zhou's voice. Then, Yuan Zhou watched the needle turn.
"Gulp, gulp."
At first, it was spinning like a whirlwind. Even with Yuan Zhou's eyesight, he could not see the rotation clearly. He could only see some afterimages, and he knew that it was a needle that was spinning. As time passed, the speed of the needle slowly became normal. At least, it could be seen with the naked eye.
Then, it became slower and slower. Finally, the needle stopped directly at a line of small words. Obviously, the result was out.
"Prawn sauce?!" Yuan Zhou was a little surprised.
To be honest, from the many sauces that were rewarded, they were generally less vegetarian and more meat, such as beef sauce, caviar, sand crab sauce, and so on. Those were all meat. Now, there was another one that was also meat.
The main thing was this sauce. Although Yuan Zhou had not made it himself, this was Opello's exclusive secret sauce, so he still had a very deep impression of it.
Once, after eating the Steamed Sakura Prawns Egg Yuan Zhou made for him, Opello suddenly thought of steaming the egg with Mammoth Prawn Sauce. Due to a strange combination of factors, he really made a signature dish of this dish.
Because prawn sauce was a seasoning, it was popular in the coastal areas of Huaxia, and was also commonly used in Southeast Asia, Korea, and other countries. Although Yuan Zhou was familiar with it, he did not have the time to make it himself.
In Huaxia, the most authentic and delicious prawn sauce was naturally Lu Province's Rongcheng. Not only did they use prawn sauce as a seasoning, but they also used it as an economic income. Therefore, there were many varieties, and the quality standards were clear.
Yuan Zhou had never made it himself, but he was familiar with it. How could a man who had won the silver spoon of Shandong cuisine say that he was not familiar with the local seasonings of Shandong Province? As a man, he couldn't say no.
"The Fierce Prawn Sauce cooked by Head Chef Opello is quite excellent. It not only has a fine texture and a beautiful color, but also tastes salty and mild. I wonder what kind of dish is provided by the system?" Yuan Zhou was quite curious.
"System, has the reward been released?" Yuan Zhou couldn't wait to see.
[The reward has been released. Please accept it, Great Host,] the System said.
Hearing the system's reply, Yuan Zhou stood up and walked downstairs. The reward was definitely in the kitchen. Naturally, he had to go down to take a look.
It was rare that the sun of Chengdu came out dutifully in the afternoon. The dazzling sunlight shone on the glass window, brightening up the dim staircase. Because the sunlight shone down through many things, it left many spots of light on the staircase. Looking at it, one would feel that the years were peaceful.
He wondered what it would be like if the Kitchen God were to dismantle it one day.
"Dong Dong Dong"
With light footsteps, Yuan Zhou stepped over the places where the sunlight shone. Very soon, he arrived at the kitchen and began to check around.
The first place he checked was naturally the places where the blueberry jam and soybean jam were kept. However, with a glance, he knew there weren't many of them. They were still the same sauces.
[The shrimp sauce is best kept in a vat. It also needs to be kept in a cool place. Therefore, the system probably keeps it in a vat as well.] Yuan Zhou thought for a while and began to search the four corners of the kitchen.
Unfortunately, there were still all kinds of things piled up in the four corners. There was a small stone mill, tools for making soy milk and tofu, and some other small things that Yuan Zhou was familiar with. There weren't any vats or anything like that. If there were vats, they were only for roast geese and ducks.
[If it's not in the corners, it must be in the cabinets.] Yuan Zhou thoughtfully focused his attention on the densely packed cabinets above.
To be honest, every time he saw these cabinets and the small fish pond with the sound of water splashing, Yuan Zhou couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The black technology of the system was really amazing. If it weren't for the system, even ten kitchens of this size wouldn't be able to store all these things.
As Yuan Zhou came in contact with more and more dishes, the types of rice alone were innumerable. The rice that was unique to each place and the rice that was suitable for making all kinds of 100 Styles of Rice Cuisines as a reward were all placed in a cabinet. Once the cabinet was opened, it was like a bottomless pit, containing everything.
Yuan Zhou felt that if the sauces were stored in the vat, they couldn't be placed too high up. It wouldn't be convenient to take them out. Therefore, the system must have placed the sauces in a place that was easy to access.
Therefore, he straightforwardly set his eyes on the cabinet below the nozzle of the various sauces. As expected, it didn't take long before he found a small door there. On the door, there were four words written: Shrimp Sauce, simple and crude.
"Ka La"
As soon as the door was opened, Yuan Zhou saw a small vat and a wooden barrel.
Out of curiosity, Yuan Zhou didn't look at the vat first. Instead, he opened the lid of the wooden barrel that was similar to a vat. It took some effort to open the sealed lid. As soon as the lid was revealed, a strong fragrance of the sauce assailed his nostrils. It was very strong and the freshness mixed in it couldn't be ignored.
Probably because of the baptism of time, the fragrance after the precipitation was mellow, fragrant, and full of umami. Even Yuan Zhou wanted to taste it very much when he smelled it. It could be seen how fragrant it was.
"Is this a shrimp cake?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Yes, Sir Host. There are two commonly used forms of shrimp sauce. One is the sauce and the other is this shrimp brick, which can also be called a shrimp cake," the system replied.
"That's very considerate." Yuan Zhou nodded and didn't say much.
Instead, he carefully took out the taste-free chopsticks and a plate. After that, he put the chopsticks into the wooden barrel and tried not to let his hand enter the barrel. Then, he took out a piece of shrimp cake.
With the protection of the system, it was impossible for there to be any harmful bacteria in the kitchen. However, as a chef, Yuan Zhou felt that it was most important to keep the ingredients pure and clean regardless of whether the system was there or not.
As soon as the shrimp cake was taken out, the fragrance became stronger. Yuan Zhou didn't have time to look at the appearance of the shrimp cake. With a "peng" sound, he covered the wooden lid tightly to prevent more air from entering. Only then did he focus his attention on the shrimp cake.
The purple color was close to black and wasn't particularly conspicuous. However, the faint red, glossy color, and elegant and rich flavor were very eye-catching.
"The color is pure and the fragrance is everlasting. It looks very outstanding," Yuan Zhou commented.
He wasn't in a hurry to taste the taste of the shrimp cake. Instead, Yuan Zhou reached out his hand again and opened the lid of the vat beside him. Compared to the strong fragrance of the shrimp cake, the fragrance of the shrimp sauce was lighter and more elegant. Of course, it didn't lack the fresh and fragrant taste at all.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn't use chopsticks. Instead, he used a taste-free spoon and a small plate. Using the same action, he took out a small plate of shrimp sauce from the vat.
After placing the shrimp sauce and the shrimp cake together, the contrast was very obvious.
