The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 7 The goal is to become a top chef (crossed out)

However, Chen Jingle did not tease other cats in the village, but mainly used threats and drives them away.

no way.

There are basically no sterilized cats in rural areas. Female cats give birth to too many puppies to feed. Not many people want to keep native cats these days, so kittens are often thrown to places a little far away to fend for themselves.

Some of them survive by chance and become stray cats.

There are quite a lot of stray cats in the village now, and the ones raised by villagers are usually not well fed, so they have to look for food everywhere every day.

Many other people's cats and stray cats have set their eyes on his cat food and often come to steal it.

The cat food that was originally prepared for the tiger cubs was robbed and raided by cats outside several times, which made him extremely angry.

During the spring and autumn nights, they would keep howling outside the house, like a crying baby, which was very creepy.

His personal ability is limited, so he is destined to not be able to support so many.

If all the stray cats in the village gathered here and caused trouble, people would only put the blame on him.

A few days ago, a stray cat broke into a villager's kitchen. The cat often wandered around Chen Jingle's house, so people thought he raised the cat and came to his house to ask for an explanation.

This required a lot of explanation.

The effect of meow language was very significant. After a round of scolding and roaring, no cat dared to stay nearby.

Chen Jingle was very proud.

It is estimated that word has begun to spread among the cat community that there is a humanoid monster that can speak their language.

of course.

Just drive it away simply to avoid people noticing that he is imitating a cat's meow. Otherwise, all kinds of strange rumors will spread in the village tomorrow, such as that he is possessed by a cat ghost or something like that.

New rural legends emerge.

Oh~
But don't underestimate the ability of rural gossips to spread rumors.

If you are delivering food outside, they can say that you are selling it outside.

Even a strong man like Chen Jingle has to be careful and behave himself when he returns to the village.

……

【It's time for practice. Smart babies need to learn theoretical knowledge, but they also need hands-on practice. Please choose one of the four compulsory courses: cooking, planting, breeding, and health care to start learning. The time limit is one hour. Baby, you can do it, right? 】

After a 10-minute break, the system prompt appeared again.

Another practical class.

However, this time Chen Jingle did not choose planting, but cooking.

He has already experienced the planting practice class, and now he wants to see what the cooking practice class is like.

After the course started, Chen Jingle didn't notice anything different and didn't take it seriously.

I walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, which still contained a lot of food.

At this moment, something magical happened!
As soon as the ingredients appeared within Chen Jingle's sight, various dishes related to the ingredients immediately appeared in his mind, some as the main ingredients and some as auxiliary ingredients.

Chen Jingle had never even heard of many of the dishes, but at this moment they appeared in his mind.

What’s even more amazing is that he actually felt that he had mastered the essence of this dish, and that feeling of being possessed by a master reappeared.

Only this time it’s a culinary master.

"hiss……"

Chen Jingle took a deep breath and widened his eyes.

"I feel that this effect is even more exaggerated than the planting skill!"

Perhaps he was more familiar with cooking than flower planting, so he felt it more. This knowledge was not something that an ordinary chef could master. He had to be a head chef of a star hotel, or even a master.

It's an extraordinary talent, plus a technique that was mastered after countless times of practice!
As for how strong it can be...

You won’t know until you try it.

What are you waiting for? Get started!

……

"How about a pot-fried pork?" Chen Jingle pondered. There happened to be a small piece of tenderloin in the refrigerator, which was left over from making spicy pork soup with rice at noon. With other ingredients, it would be no problem to make a pot-fried pork.

Sweet and sour pork is a classic Northeastern dish. Chen Jingle has never made it, but he has eaten it and was deeply impressed.

The first impression is that it is delicious. One person can finish most of the plate without feeling sick.

When the idea of sweet and sour pork came into his mind, various cooking techniques for this dish immediately came to his mind like a spring.

At this moment, Chen Jingle felt like he was a genius chef!

Ah, is this what it feels like to be a big shot?
"Look at me showing off my skills!"

At this moment, he was full of ambition, rubbing his hands and couldn't wait.

The ingredients needed for sweet and sour pork are not many. The key is the tenderloin, then shredded green onion, ginger, garlic, shredded carrots, and a few coriander stalks.

As for pepper powder and cooking wine, we have them in our kitchen.

everything's ready!
……

First cut the tenderloin into slices.

In order to make it more flavorful, you have to pat the meat on both sides with a knife and then marinate it.

These are things that only experienced chefs know, and Chen Jingle can do them with ease.

Next, prepare the water starch.

After the soaked starch has settled, pour out the water on the surface and use the rest for battering.

Then prepare the sauce. The sauce of the sweet and sour pork is the key. Some places use sweet and sour sauce, some use tomato juice, and some use orange juice.

Different places have different food culture.

There is no mandatory one or the other, it all depends on personal preference.

If the sauce is not prepared properly, this dish will easily fail.

However, Chen Jingle, who had never cooked this dish before, prepared it easily "by feel".

Dip the chopsticks in it and taste it. Hmm, yes, it’s this ratio!
For a dish that needs to be fried, a lot of oil consumption is necessary. Fortunately, the oil can be reused and is suitable for daily cooking.

When the oil temperature reaches 60%, put the meat slices in and fry them three times.

The first time it is fried thoroughly to set its shape, the second time is to lock in the moisture inside so that it is not dry when eaten, and the third time is to fry it until it is crispy and colored, achieving the effect of being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Chen Jingle rarely makes this kind of fried dishes, but at this moment, he handles every step with ease, without any panic, and performs perfectly.

The last step is to add sauce.

Use a little oil to sauté the ingredients, add the prepared sauce and bring to a boil, then pour in the fried meat slices, toss the pan back and forth to make sure each piece of meat is evenly coated with the sauce, then serve.

This dish of sweet and sour pork is ready.

Fragrant!
Sweet and sour taste is the most appetizing.

Just smelling this fragrance is enough to make people drool!
During the frying process, the fumes were unpleasant to the touch, but when the dish was finished, only the fragrance remained.

The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of sweet and sour pork, which drifted outside with the wind and immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors.

"Where does the meat smell come from?"

"What is that kid next door doing at home? It smells so good?"

"It's only three o'clock, and you're already cooking?"

"Eating meat every day is such a luxury. You don't know how to live at all!"

"..."

There is no doubt that everyone was tempted by Chen Jingle's sweet and sour pork.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have the chance to enjoy it, so Chen Jingle was destined to enjoy it alone.

"Began to eat!"

I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth.

After eating the first piece, he felt the explosive pleasure of his taste buds. He couldn't believe it: "Is this really what I did?!"
