Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Alice of the Land of Gems (Power)

After hearing this, Xie Yunfei froze in place.

Then, surprise, surprise, bewilderment, anger, helplessness and many other emotions rushed into my heart.

He clenched his fist, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and bright red blood flowed down the gap between his fingers.

This is the first time that Xie Yunfei’s cooking skills have been questioned face to face. In other words, from the very beginning, Sakurada Jun never believed that he could cook dishes that met his requirements.

Are you angry? How could it not?

It’s like being pointed at the nose and scolded ‘you will never succeed’. Anyone with a little bit of backbone will not be indifferent.

But in the end, the clenched fists were slowly loosened.

“…If there is really no other way, I will do it.”

Facing the fact of failure, Xie Yunfei has no right to refute. At least, the current him is like this…

Although he is a new boss, Jun Sakurada knows exactly what kind of ‘evil deeds’ he is doing at this time. However, human beings are such creatures, there are differences between closeness and closeness, and they can wantonly trample on the dignity of strangers for their own relatives and friends.

“No matter what you want to do, please hurry up, after all…time is running out.”

Pushing the mirror frame again, Sakurada Jun said so. The reflection from the lens completely blocked the emotions in his eyes.

“…Ah, I understand.”

Xie Yunfei turned around, but he couldn’t hear the slightest wave in his words. It’s just that if someone stood at the counter, they would find the young man walking towards him with a rare gloomy expression on his face.

Cook a golden-grade dessert within 20 hours, otherwise, you can only follow Sakurada Jun’s request, give up the dignity of the chef, and beg for mercy with a stone.

This is what Xie Yunfei is facing right now.

If it is before crossing, or just arrived at that timeIn the next world, Xie Yunfei will never be as entangled and depressed as he is now. But with the continuous improvement of cooking skills in the past six months, cooking one dish after another that is enough to make people smile, even Xie Yunfei, in a corner deep in his heart, can’t help but raise a certain kind of ambition—— —I want to climb to the highest point of culinary art, be on the same level as Liu Maoxing, Lan Feihong and others a hundred years ago, and even… go one step further!

Desire is one of the main driving forces for the advancement of all intelligent life.

Coupled with the self-confidence transformed from strength, it is not impossible for the two to forge each other, soaring to the sky.

However……

Yes, however.

One of the three groups of diners who appeared in Dimensional Cuisine tonight, as one of the bosses, Sakurada Jun, his appearance and the dishes he asked for were like a blow to the head, directly hitting someone who was confident, even somewhat Proudly relieved Yunfei’s heart.

If life is a game like Dragon Quest, then Xie Yunfei at this time has just walked out of Novice Village, not to mention the evil dragon as the final boss, it is just some small bosses, even the Four Heavenly Kings Can fight.

After returning to the counter, Xie Yunfei adjusted his breathing while calming down the countless turbulent thoughts.

As an adult, he will not be like the protagonist in the anime he watched before time travel, who is passionate and simple enough to be stubborn, abandoning the Philosopher’s Stone for his own ideas.

Stretched out his right hand, grabbing the red gem placed on the kitchen table.

Under the slightly dim lights of the restaurant, the surface of the Philosopher’s Stone is exuding a glistening brilliance.

For a moment, Xie Yunfei wanted to ignore it, and made a wish to the Philosopher’s Stone to slow down the flow of time in the dimensional restaurant countless times.

As long as you have enough time to ponder and research, not to mention purple and gold dishes, they are even higher-level dishes. Xie Yunfei also believes that he can cook them!

But he didn’t do that.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but…

[Urgent reminder: The time in the dimensional restaurant is independent of the time axis of the pan-dimensional universe, and the mere sage’s stone cannot affect the normal operation of the restaurant. 】

The sound of the system quietly rang in my ears. It was different from the indifferent electronic sound of the past, and there seemed to be a hint of eagerness in it.

In fact, Xie Yunfei would never make such a wish even without the other party’s reminder. He did not forget the fact that most of the special powers in the restaurant mentioned by the system were banned when he first entered the Dimension Restaurant.

but……

“Is it independent from the time axis…?”

Muttered softly in his mouth.

Because of time constraints, Xie Yunfei did not hold on to the problems that the system unintentionally revealed. Scrubbing his fingers with the jewel in his palm, he first added all the three skill points gained from cooking the ‘Thousand Layer Chocolate’ to [Sugar Modeling], then closed his eyes again, while accepting the skill points he got when upgrading the skill. Many recipe cooking memories, while analyzing whether there are any links in these memories that can be used in the current recipe.

“Thousand-layer sandwich chocolate”, although the word “thousand-layer sandwich” is in the name, but because of Xie Yunfei’s lack of cooking skills, there are actually only six layers in essence.

The transparent spherical icing that melts with the hot chocolate is the first layer, the void filled with cold nitrogen inside is the second layer, and then the remaining four layers that were eaten by Hollier—coating with chopped hazelnuts, chocolate Filling mixed with milk, soft melt-in-your-mouth chocolate, and a crispy wafer core at the end.

In order to make the finished product more beautiful, Xie Yunfei also added a lot of edible gold leaf on the top of the icing. After it was placed outside the chocolate, due to gravity, the gold leaf would slowly fall like snowflakes.

As for the ingredients and processing, let alone all the fantasy ingredients, plus various mid-to-high level cooking skills recognized by the system.

After several processes, the finished product has reached the dream level.

On the point of ‘complexity’, Xie Yunfei thinks that he has reached the extreme that he can touch at the moment, but in this way, it has become extremely difficult to make further progress.

Seventeen or eighteen minutes later, Xie Yunfei, who had initially read the memories in his mind, opened his eyes, and a look of disappointment flashed across his face.

Really… there is no other way?

Xie Yunfei asked himself. With his head down, he stared closely at the gem in his hand.

Not only him, Jun Sakurada and his party at the dining table in the lobby also set their sights on the young man behind the counter.

Ruoyuuowu’s murmur sounded out of nowhere.

“The Philosopher’s Stone… The Philosopher’s Stone… The Philosopher’s Stone…”

I don’t know if it was the illusion of Sakurada Jun and others. The store manager kept repeating the same words, but his golden eyes turned crimson at some point.

It was a color redder than fresh blood, and a chaos darker than dusk…

what–

A sigh came out of someone’s mouth somewhere in the dark, and the situation was developing in the direction he least expected to see.

However, just as he was about to take action, Xie Yunfei, who was standing by the kitchen table and looked crazy, suddenly slapped his head and came to his senses.

“The Philosopher’s Stone? That’s right! It’s the Philosopher’s Stone!”
