The little girl lowered her head weakly.

Zhuzi looked away and asked softly: "Boss, why don't you participate in the cooking competition?"

"Because there is no reward for participating in the competition."

"You can get the title of Liyue Chef King!"

"and then?"

"Then we can attract many customers to our store... Yes, it seems not necessary, our store already has a lot of customers... burp..."

Zhuzi suddenly burped.

"Fool."

"I'm not stupid."

"I told you not to eat too many mooncakes, but you still secretly ate so many. Are you done now?"

"Those mooncakes are all broken. It would be a shame not to eat them... burp."

"I'm not asking you to throw it away directly. You can put it aside first. Besides, what's the pity? Mooncakes are not difficult to make. If you want to eat them later, I will just make them for you."

"Hiccup...because the mooncakes are so fragrant...I can't help...hiccup..."

Zhuzi blushed and covered her mouth with her hands, but she still couldn't stop hiccupping.

Xia Zhi sighed and waved to her: "Come here."

"belch?"

"Let me give you some relief, hurry up."

"belch."

Although Zhuzi didn't know what the boss was going to do, he still got up and came to him honestly.

"Turn around, your back to me."

"Oh."

Xia Zhi stretched out his hand, gently caressed Zhuzi's back through his clothes, and pressed lightly on certain places.

Feeling the warmth of the boss's fingers, Zhuzi's face couldn't help but turn redder.

After a moment, Xia Zhi took back his hand and said, "Okay."

"Hey?"

"Stop hiccupping."

"It seems really good! Boss, how did you do it?"

"Massage, specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases."

"Amazing!"

Yaoyao and Shen He next to him also thought he was very powerful, so they cured Zhuzi with just a few taps on his back.

Yaoyao was about to ask something when she suddenly heard the voice of her senior sister coming from the kitchen.

"Cookba! What are you doing?...Why did you steal all the mooncakes!"

Xia Zhi couldn't help but use detection to look over.

In the kitchen, Guo Ba was looking up at Xiang Ling with an innocent face.

Compared with the last time we met, the gold progress bar on it has increased sharply by [5%].

Guoba, you eat well!

Chapter 84 This is how to take care of people

After a while, Xiangling came out of the kitchen carrying a casserole and placed it on the table.

Yaoyao looked at her and asked: "Senior sister, what happened just now?"

Xiangling looked a little helpless and said: "It's not rice cakes yet. I put the food box next to the stove. If I wasn't careful while cooking, it stole the mooncakes in the food box. I'm sorry, Mr. Xia. …”

Xia Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. For a chef, the food he makes can make people can't help but eat it. This in itself is a high compliment. Seeing that Guo Ba likes it so much, I made it." mooncakes, I’m very happy.”

"Those mooncakes...are they made by you yourself, Mr. Xia?"

"Well, basically, but with everyone's help."

"Yeah, if I had known it, I would have tasted it first! I have always wanted to try Mr. Xia's craftsmanship with my own mouth!"

"Yao Yao reminded senior sister, but senior sister didn't listen to Yaoyao!"

"Yao Yao didn't explain clearly, how could I think so much..."

Xia Zhi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Miss Xiangling, we made a lot of mooncakes in the morning, and when we come over for dinner tonight, we will just bring you another box. It's just a snack, don't worry...this is it. Did Miss Xiangling come up with a new dish today?"

"Yes!"

Xiang Ling said, opening the lid of the casserole, and a steam of hot steam came out of it.

"It smells very fresh, seems to be shrimp?"

"Well, it's shrimp pot. In order to fit the theme of [Food and Mountains and Rivers], I added some mountain delicacies to it. Please taste it, Mr. Xia, and give me some advice!"

"it is good."

Xia Zhi picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. Compared with yesterday's "Stewed Fish with Mushrooms", today's "Stewed Shrimp with Mushrooms" tasted much more harmonious.

He also tasted a hint of the cool flavor of mint in the shrimp meat. It was obvious that Xiang Ling used the spice knowledge he taught her yesterday.

Xia Zhi put down his chopsticks and nodded: "It tastes pretty good. The casserole blends the flavors of various ingredients together. The soup is thick. It will be delicious when poured on rice."

"Is there anything left to be desired?"

"Yes, shrimp meat is more tender and elastic than fish meat. If it is stewed for a long time, it will become stale and lose its original characteristics. You can shorten the cooking time appropriately and add the shrimp meat later. As for the umami flavor, you can first use shrimp shells and brains to adjust the base flavor, or you can add some fish balls."

"really!"

"Shanzhen can also make some modifications..."

With [Culinary Proficiency], Xia Zhi's advice today was much more detailed, not only for spices, but also for the selection of ingredients, processing techniques and even the timing of cooking.

Xia Zhi was not just giving advice, but also temporarily creating a new recipe for Xiang Ling based on her ideas.

The more Xiang Ling listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she looked at Xia Zhi with more admiration.

As for the other three girls at the table who were not very good at cooking, they were not as impressed as Xiang Ling.

After all, the mooncakes made by the boss are so delicious. It is not a simple matter for him to think of a new dish, so there is nothing surprising.

"That's basically it. Miss Xiangling, is there anything you don't understand?"

"No, thank you Mr. Xia for your advice! I'll try again right away!"

"Ah."

Xia Zhi "watched" Xiang Ling running into the kitchen impatiently, and a little anticipation arose in her heart.

The dish he just taught Xiang Ling was not an ordinary recipe, but a luminous recipe.

Baoshan Feilong Hot Pot.

This luminous recipe comes from a comic in the original world. The main ingredients are mountain delicacies and lobster, which are very similar to the ingredients in the casserole on the table.

Although Xia Zhi only remembered the general plot, with his knowledge of [Cooking Proficiency], he could easily deduce a similar recipe.

If he were to cook it himself, the mooncakes he made would definitely be as shiny as the mooncakes baked in the morning.

Xia Zhi taught it to Xiang Ling. On the one hand, he wanted to help Xiang Ling. He could see how hard this girl who loved cooking worked.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see if other people could make glowing dishes after getting the glowing recipes.

Xia Zhi picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's all eat together. The casserole won't taste good when it's cold."

Zhuzi looked embarrassed: "Boss, I can't eat now."

Shen He shook his head: "Me too."

Yaoyao took her chopsticks and picked up a piece of snow-white shrimp meat. She put it into her mouth and tried to swallow it. Then she put down the chopsticks in her hand and said sheepishly: "It's strange. It's obviously delicious, but I feel like I can't eat it." .”

"How many mooncakes did Yaoyao eat this morning?"

"Two pieces, one made by Yaoyao herself and one made by big brother."

"Two yuan is not much, but Yaoyao, you are a child and your appetite is small. It's okay. If you can't eat, don't force it."

"Yao Yao thinks it's because big brother's mooncakes are so delicious, that's why Yaoyao has no appetite now."

"Yes, I think so too."

"Zhuzi, you are obviously full. You were hiccupping just now."

"Ugh..."

"Since you don't eat, then I will eat alone."

"Boss, let me serve it for you!"

Zhuzi stood up immediately, scooped a small bowl for him with a spoon and brought it to him.

"Thank you."

have a look!Miss Zhuzi is still gentle!This is how to take care of people!Miss Shen He only knows how to talk!You still have to learn the actual operation!

Xia Zhi nodded, feeling that giving Zhu Zi two free massages was worth something, so he lowered his head and ate slowly.

The three girls at the table didn't say anything, they just sat and watched him eat quietly.

It feels weird.

Fortunately he is blind and cannot see.

Xia Zhi finished a small bowl of shrimp stew with a natural look on his face and stopped using his chopsticks.

"Boss, can I serve you another bowl?"

"I won't eat it for now. I will try the dishes prepared by Miss Xiangling later."

"Oh."

After chatting for a while, Xiangling came out of the kitchen with an excited look and a casserole in her hands.

"It's done! It's done! Mr. Xia!"

"Slow down and be careful."

Xiangling placed the casserole on the table and reached out to open the lid.

Xia Zhi stared at the casserole.

A steam of steam came out of the pot, and the smell was more fragrant than the previous casserole, but there was no sign of any glow.

It seems that only he can make luminous dishes.

Even if others copy his steps exactly, they still can't make luminous dishes.

This should be a characteristic brought about by [Culinary Proficiency].

No, the characteristics are something that only appear on gold-quality items.

For example, [Blazing Incense Burner], its characteristic is "fusion", which can forcibly fuse the raw materials together in a certain way to make it more powerful.

[Culinary Proficiency] is only of silver quality. This "glowing" effect should not be called a characteristic, but can only be regarded as a semi-characteristic.

Just like the "keen sense of smell" provided to him by [Spice Proficiency].

When Xia Zhi thought of this, he suddenly thought of another proficiency series skill in his body.

【Massage Proficiency】.

He acquired this skill at the same time as [Spice Mastery], but he only used it a handful of times.

Apart from massaging myself a few times, I only massaged Zhuzi twice.

I wonder what the semi-features of [Massage Proficiency] are?
