Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 27 The Chef's Lesson
"Hehe, with new ingredients, I can teach you how to cook, old lady."

The old lady selling chestnuts said cheerfully.

Chen Ye couldn't help feeling dumbfounded, he didn't expect the ingredients to come so suddenly!
It seems that there is...

Could it be that my [luck] played another role?
"From this point of view, [Wanderer]'s characteristics are quite good. After all, in the process of acting, he can keep his own luck at a high level."

With the blessing of this month's novice rankings, the main means of improvement for players is undoubtedly playing.

However, some professions are likely to bring potential dangers to themselves during the performance process.

Or maybe it's too difficult...

[Wanderer] played much better.

Not only is the process simple, you only need to keep walking, and while increasing the weird value, you can also gather luck!
In this dangerous world, luck also plays a big part.

If you are a little bit unlucky and encounter a trick that you can't handle, you will be unlucky!
Fortunately, Chen Ye encountered the current two relatively powerful tricks, and neither of them was too dangerous.

Erhu old man is a friendly kind.

For the time being, the old lady who sells chestnuts seems to be a relatively neutral one.

And the characteristic item that I absorbed - suona, came from the deceased son of the old grandmother.

As long as they don't die, these two powerful original residents will not only not harm themselves, but can also promote their growth.

Afterwards, the old lady selling chestnuts came to the side of the "sarcomas" slowly.

At some point, a small knife appeared in his hand.

She carefully cut off part of the "sarcoma" with a knife.

While cutting, he turned his back to Chen Ye and began to talk about cooking skills:
"The whole process of cooking is not only as simple as cooking, the choice of ingredients is also very important."

"What can be eaten, what cannot be eaten."

"Good food, bad food."

"Helpful, harmful..."

"Different ingredients have different attributes, and some things are often decided before cooking."

"Choosing ingredients is also a technical job."

The old grandma's movements were very slow, and after she finished the long series of words slowly, she just cut off a piece of the sarcoma.

After that, she continued to move slowly, transferring all the chestnuts in the pot to a pack of oiled paper bags, freeing up an empty stove.

After finishing the whole process, it feels like half an hour has passed.

If Zhao Cheng and others hadn't eaten a lot of sugar-fried chestnuts and knocked a small part to the ground, this process would have taken even longer.

When the last sugar-fried chestnut was finally packaged, it finally came to the cooking teaching stage.

Light the fire, start the pot, add oil...

When the chestnut-selling grandmother was in charge of the spoon, her movements seemed to suddenly look decades younger, becoming brisk and familiar, without the jerky and stagnant state before.

The whole movement is done in one go, like a martial arts master who has practiced for many years, only fast is not broken!

After waiting for the hot pot, the ingredients were put into the pot immediately, and there was a "sizzling" grilling sound.

In the darkness, sparks splashed in the pot, dazzling like flying stars.

When the ingredients are cooked to a certain extent, the volume of the whole piece of meat shrinks and turns into a ball under repeated beatings by the grandmother who sells chestnuts with a spatula, which is exactly the size of a fried chestnut in sugar.

Then poured thick syrup, golden powder, and at least four or five unnamed special materials next to it...

Start frying in the pot!
Chen Ye watched the old lady's movements attentively and learned the whole steps.

The temperature in the furnace is getting higher and higher, and the surface of the pot has a layer of red light, as if it can be cast iron, not like cooking food at all, like casting weapons.

But the more this happened, the more Chen Ye knew that he knew very little information about this world, and he had to write down all the details in order to understand the real way of living.

Boom! ! !
Suddenly, a burst of rising flames suddenly appeared in the pot, accompanied by a burst of pungent black smoke, slowly emerging.

A roasted chestnut that was so burnt black that it was hard to bear to look at it appeared in the center of the pot.

"Failed?"

Chen Ye was stunned, and this thought popped up in his heart.

Observing with the pupil of luck, it is not difficult to see that this chestnut is surrounded by a black halo of evil spirit.

Even without the help of this special viewing angle, one can see with the naked eye that this sugar-fried chestnut has been roasted to the point where it is no different from coal. It is as hard as a stone, and the teeth cannot be bitten at all.

Normal people know that this stuff is not edible, right?
It is also very different from the sugar-fried chestnuts that are usually roasted.

Is it a miss?
But the old lady selling chestnuts looked calm, as if she had expected this ending long ago, she shoveled the charred chestnuts out of the pot and said:
"This is a failed product made with wrong ingredients and correct cooking techniques."

"Although I followed the correct method of making sugar-fried chestnuts throughout the process, it still failed due to the poor quality of the ingredients."

"A qualified food must be fully baked at a high temperature to achieve a thorough sterilization effect. Based on it, optimize the cooking method to make better food."

"It's a pity... this ingredient is unprocessed and inferior. It doesn't have the ability to withstand high temperatures, so it needs to be processed professionally."

Chen Ye listened carefully, his mind running fast, trying to write down all the details.

Hearing that it was a matter of ingredients... Chen Ye suddenly realized that the old lady who sold chestnuts was deliberately showing herself how to fail as the first lesson.

Yes, the choice of ingredients is very important, especially in the world of "Weird Times".

This place is completely different from the structure of normal world rules, even the cooking method will subvert the cognition of normal people.

Chen Ye immediately screened out three key information points——

"First, ingredients need to be cooked at a high temperature to have a bactericidal effect... This is probably a common practice, and the temperature of the old lady's oven is very high."

"Second, it corresponds to the first point. Because the food here needs to be processed at high temperature, the requirements for the ingredients are very high. If it is an ordinary ingredient, it may not be able to withstand such a cooking method. Even if the grandmother uses the correct steps , will still be limited by the ingredients and make failed products.”

"The last third point is how to handle and process the ingredients?"

Chen Ye asked the last question casually.

The old lady selling chestnuts laughed and said, "I'm just a cook. Although I have some cooking skills, I'm still not good at some things."

"As the saying goes: Professional things should be left to professional people."

"Since processing ingredients is not something I'm good at, I need to find a professional!"

coming!

Familiar citations!
Chen Ye could not help feeling absurd when he heard the chestnut-selling grandmother with her old and wrinkled face constantly uttering various classic sentences.

He looked at the "meat sculptures" standing not far away, his mind moved, and he suddenly said:

"Grandma, you said that the ingredients are expensive, should you mean the processed ingredients?"

"But these ingredients have not been processed, so is the value not that high?"

"Correspondingly...then it's not that expensive?"

The old lady nodded in satisfaction:

"You are right."

"If it is processed ingredients, at least the starting price of fifteen copper coins per catty must be reached, and the minimum price is five copper coins."

"However, if it's these low-quality ingredients, their value is only worth one copper coin at most."

"This copper coin is not the price of a catty, but the package price."

"You only need to pay one copper coin, and you can choose one of these ingredients at will."

There are four "meat sculptures" in front of you.

Chen Ye's eyes lit up, and he said immediately:

"Grandma, I will buy you three ingredients with three copper coins!"

The grandmother who sells chestnuts keeps "a piece" for herself, and uses it to guide her cooking methods on the spot.

The other three yuan are used for studying, cooking by yourself in the future, keeping it as rations for life extension, or selling it to obtain other income...
