Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Alice of the Land of Gems (Middle, Lower, Lower)

How could Xie Yunfei, who has lived in the real world for six months, not understand the perfect thing, or what the perfect cuisine is—the one cooked by nine-star special chefs Liu Maoxing and Lan Feihong at the last moment of their lives more than 60 years ago The two dishes, or in other words, are super delicacies with a golden grade and a final completion of 100 in the system evaluation.

Xie Yunfei, who can’t even cook the most common golden dishes easily, can’t restore those two perfect dishes sixty years ago in the Dimensional Restaurant no matter how he thinks about it.

As for developing a brand new dish from scratch, it’s like a dream, and it’s not realistic at all.

However, from the very beginning, Xie Yunfei’s goal was not perfection, but… perfection! In other words, beyond the extreme!

More than a month ago, Xie Yunfei learned about the concept of ‘dream cuisine’, that is, ‘dishes beyond the ultimate’, from Huang Chang, who has the strength of a seven-star special chef. Since then, he has been seeking a breakthrough in this area.

Improving recipe structure, using fantasy ingredients, and exchanging talents [super intuition]…

The three roads correspond to three different cooking philosophies—improvement, fantasy, and personal.

Coupled with the culinary skills enough to cook fine-grade luminous dishes, Xie Yunfei can successfully obtain one purple or two to three blue-grade recipes in about a week on average.

Coupled with the unlimited repetitive tasks released by the system a long time ago, after more than a month, no matter what else, only the cooking level in the character panel, Xie Yunfei can raise eight to nine levels.

But… is it really correct to do so?

Don’t get me wrong, Xie Yunfei didn’t doubt the authenticity of Huang Shang’s so-called “dream cuisine” – Huang Shang’s special chef and him had no conflict of interest, not to mention, Feifei and Xiaoyun were there at the time.

It’s just, um, how should I put it, let’s take the ‘Bitter Tea Hundred Flavors Phoenix Egg’ that I cooked earlier as an example.

‘Phoenix Egg’ is a purple-grade dish, needless to say, the effect after tasting is also very good. Strengthening attributes such as thinking activity is undoubtedly a boon for mental workers.

In contrast, there is an almost fatal side effect-brain explosion.

Not to mention the many bigwigs who appeared in the Dimensional Cuisine Restaurant, even Xie Yunfei only dared to eat this type of cuisine in the cooking space.

Here comes the problem.

As we all know, the Gourmet Research Institute, which prohibits “ordinary people from tasting fantasy cuisine at will”, was established only after the end of World War II sixty years ago. Before that, such regulations did not exist, and it could even be said that they were unheard of.

Then, how did the culinary world at that time deal with it when cooking dreamy dishes?

If it is said that Xie Yunfei only had such doubts in the bottom of his heart from time to time for more than a month, then now, or after cooking a dreamy dish with obvious side effects for the first time, similar questions have completely flooded his mind. mind. It’s just that he had been busy with the third dish tonight, so he didn’t have time to think slowly.

But now…

Nine-star special chef Liu Maoxing has a saying that is often on the lips, “Cooking can bring people happiness.”

Listening to the memories of Feifei’s grandfather when she was a child, even in her later years, Liu Maoxing always educated her descendants in this way.

Question: Can the nine-star special chef cook fantasy dishes?

The answer is obviously yes.

Then, what did the other party do when they cooked fantasy dishes with unknown dangers?

Taste it yourself, or present it directly to ordinary people?

Considering Liu Maoxing’s habit of cooking brand-new dishes on the spot, Xie Yunfei felt that there was a very high probability that it was the latter.

If this is the case, then the other party must have found a way to overcome the side effects of fantasy cooking.

What is the method?

Combined with Hohenheim’s research and the concept of fantasy cuisine, the answer is already very obvious.——Beyond the limit, or in other words, surpass the limit in the concept of ‘delicacy’.

To put it more simply, it is to make the finished dishes cooked have a basic completion level of 95 or higher.

Whether it’s the talent introduction of [God’s Touch] acquired temporarily last month, or the recipe records obtained after a lot of practice, they all remind Xie Yunfei of the fact that ordinary chefs rely solely on the “fine” cooking concept, which can only make The final completion degree reaches 95.

If you want to improve again, you can only rely on ideas such as improvement, fantasy, and personal.

Because he wants to quickly improve his culinary skills, unlike other chefs, Xie Yunfei rarely improves the basic completion of cooking to the extreme. Before, he even relied on imaginary ingredients and recipe improvements for such things as cooking luminous dishes.

“Should it be said that I am a success system or a failure system?”

Muttering something softly in his mouth, Xie Yunfei opened his eyes and looked in the direction in front of him.

Several bags of sun-dried cocoa beans were placed on the kitchen table. These cocoa beans are different from the chocolate puree taken from the chocolate fountain that Xie Yunfei used earlier. They are all of ordinary quality, and they haven’t even been ground yet.

And this is exactly what Xie Yunfei needs.

Without continuing to dawdle, Xie Yunfei poured all the cocoa beans into the pot, then scooped out some of them with a spoon and put them into the cauldron, and baked them slowly over low heat.

Whether it is the chocolate that is usually used, or the puree of the chocolate fountain that can be exchanged in the mall, it is the final product that has completed the steps of grinding, baking, extraction, and mixing.

Although it still needs further processing, it can only add two to three points of basic completion.

Since Xie Yunfei wants to break through the limit of fine cooking, it is impossible for Xie Yunfei to miss any production process.

Stretch out your hands, and gently brush the cocoa beans with your ten fingers. After confirming that the appropriate temperature has been reached, pour out the cocoa beans and start grinding.

Xie Yunfei’s movements were very slow. This was his first attempt to make chocolate from scratch. Although he had the entire production process in his mind, it required a lot of energy and concentration.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

After more than ten minutes, the cocoa beans that were originally in the form of granules had turned into a brown-black viscous paste-like liquid under Xie Yunfei’s grinding.

Add milk and granulated sugar to it, and continue to grind for a few minutes until the three are completely blended without distinguishing each other.

Then, heat the chocolate puree, pour it on the prepared marble slab, hold the spatula with both hands, and start tempering.

If Xie Yunfei was still a little unfamiliar with the previous few steps because of his first attempt, then from this step onwards, it was time for him to perform.

The right hand holding the spatula was raised high, and while shaking up part of the chocolate puree, the left hand was stretched out, and the remaining puree was drawn to the vicinity of the right hand.

Then the right hand was raised again, and the left hand stretched out…

The whole process was smooth and smooth, and Jun Sakurada and the Rozen Maidens across the counter were stunned for a moment. By the time they realized it, the store manager had already poured the puree into the mold and put it in the refrigerator to start refrigerating.
