Food: My food truck can be upgraded indefinitely.

Ling Yun, oblivious to Li He's slight mood, continued speaking to himself:

"Sit down if you want to eat, or call some classmates over, it's all you can eat!"

In order to develop new dishes.

He had really gone all out.

"You said it yourself."

Li He shook her phone in annoyance.

With this invitation...

She can then legitimately freeload many meals.

Anyway, Lingyun felt she had lost money in the transfer, so she wasn't embarrassed.

"I said it myself, even if you call the whole class over, I'll make sure you're well-fed."

After receiving a positive reply from Ling Yun, Li He immediately started sending a series of messages in the class group chat.

soon.

She looked up and replied to Ling Yun:

"Nine people have already agreed to come back, all of them are from the University of Hong Kong. You'd better be prepared, boss!"

"OK!"

Ling Yun snapped his fingers, an idea already forming in his mind.

Acting blindly and recklessly is unrealistic.

He planned to expand from those nine flavors, so that at least he could stand on the shoulders of giants.

He first cut all the remaining steaks in half to save ingredients, then silently called upon the system in his mind:

"System, if I create a good new dish, will the recipe be recorded for me?"

System: "Yes, you can. Just give it a try!"

With the system's guarantee.

Ling Yun unleashed his full potential and got to work.

He first categorized the marinade by region, grouping the spices from the corresponding regions together on the table.

He first categorized the marinades by region, then grouped the spices from the corresponding regions together, and began randomly adding spices to the original nine sauces.

They're all from the same region.

The flavors of the spices should blend harmoniously; the rest is up to fate.

of course.

Lingyun would occasionally add spices from other regions, but the main theme was to do things as he pleased and let himself go.

Since the system will give a score.

Then he wouldn't need to taste it every time; he could just look at the ratings to know whether it was good or bad.

etc!"

Watching Ling Yun's fluid and effortless movements, Li He suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, her face filled with worry:

"You're just adding things randomly, won't that cause food poisoning?"

"Don't worry!" Ling Yun patted his chest, feeling confident with the system's assurance: "I've been a chef for so many years, I can tell whether there's a problem with the food just by tasting it."

talking.

He even gave Li He a small bowl and put it in her hand:

"Why don't you try your luck too!"

"Just don't add more than three spoonfuls of any one seasoning. Add as many as you like."

"But!"

Li He held the bowl, her brows furrowed in worry:

"When I see others developing new dishes, why isn't it like this? Don't you have to consider the characteristics of the ingredients, like whether they're cooling, hot, dry, sweet, tender, or smooth, and then adjust the proportions accordingly?"

Ling Yun didn't even look up, continuing to grab the materials in his hand, a grin spreading across his face.

"I am a heretical cultivator!"

Li He stared at the colorful powders in the bowl, her eyelids twitching, and she felt completely numb.

Is this going to kill me?

Even if it costs them their lives.

In case I get an upset stomach.

Wouldn't his lifelong reputation be ruined in an instant?

She couldn't help but groan inwardly, secretly rolling her eyes: "Free things are always the most expensive!"

No more worrying about wasting steak.

Lingyun rolled up his sleeves and began preparing the next batch of marinade.

This time he seemed much more relaxed, and naturally, he was much faster.

Half an hour passed.

He had already prepared more than twenty portions of marinade, and the area around the food truck gradually became lively.

Li He's classmates also arrived, bringing the total number to twelve.

The evening breeze, carrying the lingering scent of spices, swirled among the crowd.

"Serve the food right away!"

Lingyun washed his hands and began to scoop out the steaks.

Because he cut the steak into small pieces, it put even more pressure on his skill in controlling the heat, but Ling Yun remained calm.

He worked without a break all year round.

He has cooked steaks worth well over 100,000.

Even though the meat chunks were halved in size, he still handled them with ease.

With a sizzle on the hot plate, the aroma of meat exploded instantly, and the steak quickly changed color, with the edges turning a beautiful caramel brown.

At the perfect moment, Ling Yun scooped up a large chunk of golden butter and dropped it into the pan. The butter melted upon contact with the heat, bubbling and coating every inch of the meat and noodles. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he quickly removed the pan from the heat.

Because of concerns about those marinades.

After Lingyun started cooking, Li He stood in front of the hot plate with a worried look in her eyes.

While waiting.

Li He caught a glimpse of more details out of the corner of her eye.

The food truck in front of her, shaped like a tiger's head, had changed completely from the one she and her best friend had owned, even though only a day had passed.

Everywhere is clean and tidy.

Even though there are many kinds of spices, they are displayed in abundance, yet they are neither messy nor dirty.

I hadn't paid attention to it before.

Now Li He recalls it carefully.

Although the road outside Lingyun's shop in the alley was dirty, the table was occasionally greasy, and there were always beer baskets piled up in the corner, the kitchen was always spotless.

Only those who have run a shop know this.

Maintaining such cleanliness every day, especially when selling a dish covered in grease, is even more remarkable.

Li He then suddenly realized what was happening and sighed inwardly:

So this is the sign that you can make money.

When business was slow at the milk tea shop, she tried many solutions, including practicing unorthodox cultivation!

Hand-whipped lemon tea, inviting Grandma out of retirement, the earth shook!

Her grandmother was very wealthy, but she was unwilling to earn this money.

Her taste wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly distinctive either. In addition, she was reasonably diligent in her work, but had almost no business acumen.

She smiled wryly.

Losing money is inevitable; making money is a miracle!

When the first steak was served.

Looking at the steak, which was caramelized on the outside and tender on the inside, Li He sincerely praised it:

"Chef Ling, you're going to make a fortune!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Ling Yun didn't even look up, continuing to flip the other sizzling pieces of meat on the hot plate and prepare the remaining steak.

Li He didn't pay any attention.

Worried that her classmate might get sick from the food, she first lowered her head and sniffed it closely. A rich aroma of meat mixed with the milky scent of butter filled her nostrils, which reassured her slightly. However, she still picked up her knife and fork and carefully cut off a slice, then steadily presented it to Lingyun with her fork.

"Eat something first!"

The aroma of the steak, so close yet so far, wafted straight into my nose, a blend of caramelized and fatty scents.

Thinking back to the A+ rating I just saw from the system.

Without thinking, Ling Yun opened his mouth and ate it directly.

He chewed a couple of times, and the meat juices burst between his teeth, mingling with the subtle layers of spices in the marinade, giving him a burst of energy.

Lingyun was pleasantly surprised.

The taste this time was a significant improvement over the past, enough to make him nod involuntarily as he ate.

However, the system still did not provide any prompts.

He frowned slightly.

Is this still not enough?

What kind of delicious steak must it be to be recognized by the system?

Sensing the change, Lingyun became even more engrossed, speeding up his movements and accelerating the preparation of the steak in his hands.

Li He gave him a deep look, her gaze carrying an inscrutable meaning, before picking up her knife and fork again, lifting her plate, turning to walk towards her classmates, placing the plate on the table, and calling out:

"Here we go, the first one is ready!"

At the folding table next to the food cart.

Several boys were standing or sitting, their eyes occasionally drifting towards Li He.

Most of the boys that Li He had called over actually had some affection for her.

Some people believe they can do it and want to work hard.

Some of them like her, know they have no chance, but are still happy to spend more time with her.

The remaining one or two.

He was actually dragged in by his friend to cover for him.

Regardless of the category, everyone knew about the rumors surrounding Li He in the class: beautiful, energetic, and gluttonous, but fortunately, she didn't like to take advantage of others and kept clear boundaries with others.

But what just happened?

Li He offered everyone free steak, which was one thing.

Everyone heard in the morning that her shop had been sold, so they figured it was just a way to help the new owner attract some business. Since it was free, everyone came to join in the fun.

The first steak arrived.

Li He actually felt sorry for the other person's hard work and let the other person take the first bite.

"What are you all standing there for? Do you want me to cut it?"

Li He laughed and joked, her eyes curving into crescents, but she actually took out a knife and fork and started cutting.

Seeing this...

He Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if someone had squeezed it. He felt half-dead on the spot.

She wasn't committed yet, and even if she didn't get it, she wanted to keep it as a memento. But after seeing this...

Well, it seems there's no hope for him.

He sighed inwardly, thinking he'd just have to take whatever he could get his hands on.

With a heart full of despair, he was the first to reach for his fork, fork a piece of steak, and put it in his mouth.

What the hell!

As soon as his teeth pierced the crispy crust, a surge of heat, carrying the aroma of butter and a hint of spice, rushed up his throat.

Followed by.

The juices burst in my mouth without warning.

The rich sauce, with its oily sweetness and subtle hints of garlic and black pepper, explodes on the tongue like a small, warm bomb.

The beef fibers break gently as you chew, the outer layer is crispy and caramelized, while the inside is so tender that you hardly need to chew, as if every crevice of the meat is filled with juice.

The delicious meaty aroma, combined with the indescribable herbal fragrance of the marinade, surged up in layers.

First comes the slight spiciness of yellow mustard, followed by a faint hint of rosemary, and finally a lingering sweetness that slides down the throat, leaving the entire chest feeling warm and cozy, as if gently cradled by a pair of hands.

That instant.

He Yu felt as if something had hit his head hard.

who am I?

where am I?

Who is Li He?

Who is this chef?

This beef is so delicious!

Is this what steak from a night market should taste like?
