After giving some instructions to Mao Ye, Yuan Zhou returned to the second floor of the restaurant. He still had important things to do.
“I’ve waited so long for this day. I’ve dreamed for so long and finally realized my dream.” Yuan Zhou was quite happy.
The reason why he was happy was that the rewards would definitely be very rich. The previous blessing quests had rewarded him with titles and monkey wine, not to mention this was a main quest.
In the next second, the system displayed a mission panel.
[Main mission] Master of Masters (3)(completed)
[Mission description] to obtain the top four honors in the domestic cooking world: the plaque of Jiangsu cuisine, the silver spoon of Shandong cuisine, the waste stove of Cantonese cuisine, and the achievement of being an old chef of the Sichuan cuisine Association.
[Mission progress](4/4)
[System comment: you, who have the four divine weapons of the Chinese cooking world, can already say ‘I’m invincible, do as you please’.]
[Mission reward] Hunan cuisine
“It’s a big deal to be rewarded with a cuisine directly. The main mission is full of rewards, but what’s with the system Review?” Yuan Zhou suspected that the system was trying to make its presence known by force.
After calming himself down, Yuan Zhou sat down on the stool very formally and then said in a calm voice,””Receive your reward.”
As soon as Yuan Zhou’s voice fell, the cooking methods of various cuisines appeared one after another, such as nine-back mountain rabbit, steamed preserved pork, sister dumpling, Ningxiang snake, chili stir-fried meat, and a series of Hunan cuisine all poured into Yuan Zhou’s brain.
As one of the eight major cuisines, Hunan cuisine originated from the Xiangjiang region. In the Xiangjiang region, it was called the local cuisine, just like how Shanghai cuisine was called the local cuisine in the Shanghai region.
There were three main types: Xiangjiang, Xishan District, and Dongting Lake.
Hunan cuisine was similar to Sichuan cuisine and gan cuisine to a certain extent. Of course, this was normal. After all, there was no cuisine that was completely unrelated to the neighboring province.
However, Hunan cuisine had naturally developed its own style. After Yuan Zhou obtained the Hunan cuisine, he concluded that it was the “three fragrances,” which were spicy, fresh and tender, with spicy being the first.
That was why there was the saying,”Xiang people are not afraid of spicy food, Gan people are not afraid of spicy food, and Sichuan people are not afraid of spicy food.” Of course, this saying could come in many different order, but it also showed that gan province, Sichuan Province, and Xiang province could eat spicy food very well.
There Changsha fermented stinky tofu, conch shell, sweet oil Daddi, flavorful shrimp, Liuyang deep-fried pancakes, braised pork trotters, and so on. Besides the cuisines, there were also snacks of Hunan cuisine. When Yuan Zhou found out about these from his memory, he felt hungry.
“The menu is going to become thicker again.” Yuan Zhou muttered.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to put the Hunan cuisine on the menu right away. First of all, even if Yuan Zhou obtained the complete inheritance and memory of all the cuisines, he would still study them once by himself. Practice makes perfect, and he would decide later. Secondly, he was going to a new cuisine, which involved many things. For example, he had to take in two more registered disciples of Hunan cuisine.
Otherwise, Yuan Zhou could easily guess the reaction of the Hunan cuisine Association just by thinking.
The last reason was that the bogus world cooking competition was not far away, and the more important thing now was to get the Spain cuisine first. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou intended to get familiar with the new dish first. He would wait until he came back from France.
The system suddenly said,[host, please continue to work hard on your culinary skills and become a master chef who has learned both Chinese and Western cuisine.]
Every time he heard the system shouting the slogan so hard, he would have a toothache. It probably didn’t suit this style. Yuan Zhou pondered in the heart whether he should suggest changing it.
For a moment, Yuan Zhou’s thoughts were at a loss. Then, he turned his attention back to the serious business.
“System, check the progress of the Spain team.” Yuan Zhou asked.
Previously, Atticus had brought more than a dozen Spaniards here for a meal, which made Yuan Zhou very surprised. He decided that when he made any jam in the future, he could share a bottle with Atticus. He was a Lucky Star.
The system had always been quick to respond to professional questions. It immediately displayed the current progress of the Spain mission, 19/20.
“I’m missing one. There are two weeks left. It should be about right.” Yuan Zhou considered how much time he had to practice Spain cuisines after receiving the reward.
However, Yuan Zhou wasn’t too anxious. The current situation was something that he had achieved step by step. He had always believed that the impatient couldn’t eat the hot tofu and that taking things slowly was the best way.
“I hope I can complete the mission by tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
This was not Yuan Zhou’s imagination. It was mainly because Hu an and Lin Wan had been coming here frequently for meals ever since they had eaten here. Of course, this frequency was only once a week. However, the last time they came here, Yuan Zhou found that they brought a new friend, a Spaniard, who also contributed a quota.
It was going to be their usual day to eat here. If he could bring a New Spain friend here, he would have just completed the mission. As for the typical characters who triggered the mission, Yuan Zhou paid more attention to them.
“The monkey wine is ready. There shouldn’t be any problems tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou set aside the mission and began to sort out the matters of the wine tasting conference tomorrow.
Zhou Shijie had completed the task perfectly. Although there were only a dozen people on the list, they were all well-known people in the Chinese wine industry. Therefore, Yuan Zhou wanted to prepare for this in a safe way so as to not embarrass uncle Zhou.
“System, the wine tasting conference is tomorrow. As a system, do you have any support?” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of something and then said directly.
“Oh my God!” After a long silence, the system displayed.
Yuan Zhou was stunned. The support was just a sentence of Olly? Did he have to be so careful?
“I mean, is there any wine-making lessons or something like that?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“Host, this system is the master chef system,” the system said.
“Alright, you’re the system, so you have the final say.” Yuan Zhou decided to make a midnight snack for himself to calm down. The system this time was really terrible!
“Ta ta ta”
Immediately, Yuan Zhou got up and went downstairs to prepare some food. At that time, the pub time had not ended yet. He could still faintly hear people talking on the first floor.
However, even with Yuan Zhou’s sharp hearing, he still couldn’t hear what was being said. The system still paid great attention to protecting the privacy of its customers.
However, the sound of human voices added a bit of liveliness to the quiet and peaceful night. This was the atmosphere of the human world.
Originally, Yuan Zhou intended to cook a braised pork trotter in Hunan cuisine and gnaw on it. However, he suddenly thought of something.
He went straight to the counter and squatted down beside a dark brown jar.”Hey, the salted duck egg that I improved on is done. In that case, I might as well make a salted egg yolk eggplant.”
The jar of duck eggs was marinated when he soaked the kimchi last time. The duck eggs were not provided by the system, but by the old grandma.
Previously, the granny seemed to have gone out with her sister and bought them back from the countryside, saying that they were pure free-range free-range duck eggs and specially sent them to Yuan Zhou to try the fresh ones.
Duck eggs weren’t as common as eggs. That was why Yuan Zhou thought of marinating it into a salted duck egg.
