Food: My food truck can be upgraded indefinitely.

"Alright, please line up to try it!"

Li He led the two quickly to the front of the crowd, opened her arms, and guided the waiting guests into a long queue.

"Raise your hand if you don't have a knife and fork!"

Zhang Moli carried a basket full of knives and forks and distributed them as she walked through the long queue.

"Please hold your cup steady while we pour your drink. Thank you for your patience."

He Yu and his men ran out again and bought two more cases of large bottles of drinks. They unscrewed the caps and poured a cup for each of the diners in line.

Various sodas bubbled and simmered in the cups, easing the diners' anxiety while they waited.

Half an hour later.

The steak in Lingyun's hands gradually began to come out of the pan.

This time, the marinade and quality are consistent. After each steak is cooked, it is drizzled with a spoonful of a divine European and American-style sauce.

The moment the sauce touches the hot plate and the steak.

The rich, buttery aroma, a complex blend of natural dairy scents and rosemary, exploded like a fragrance bomb, spreading outwards with its heat.

The lively atmosphere seemed to have been paused.

The diners, who had initially been drawn to the students, turned around following the aroma, their eyes immediately falling on Ling Yun's hands.

They held their breath, their eyes fixed on the rapidly flipping spatula on the hot plate and the steaks being coated in sauce.

"alright!"

Ling Yun called out softly, his voice not loud, but like a match striking the silence, it reactivated everything.

Li He rushed over at the sound of her voice, deftly took away the freshly cooked steaks, quickly sliced ​​them on the table, and distributed them to the eagerly awaiting diners.

Ten people worked together.

A simple assembly line is formed in front of the food truck.

The more than one hundred diners gathered around quickly enjoyed the A+++ grade steak.

"Wow, this sauce is delicious!" a female student exclaimed indistinctly as she chewed on some meat.

"The steak was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With the sauce, I feel like I could eat a whole cow!"

The uncle next to him gave a thumbs up.

"This sauce would even taste good with shoe insoles!"

A young man shouted exaggeratedly, which drew laughter.

"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow!"

"This isn't nearly enough; we'll have to come earlier to queue tomorrow!"

The diners exclaimed in admiration.

The diners' exclamations of praise rose and fell like a tidal wave.

Lingyun quickly processed the first batch of eight steaks, the spatula scraping across the hot plate with a sizzling sound.

While cleaning the iron plate, he finally had a moment to glance at the system:

A perfectly cooked steak with a divine European-style sauce, A+++.

A+++?

He let out a silent wail, his lips twitching slightly.

How many plus signs are there between A and S?

System: "Theoretically, it can be infinite. All dishes that surpass A+ already possess the beginnings of god-level dishes!"

It turned out to be the case.

Actually, this street-style steak is already pretty good, but it's still a step away from being divine.

Ling Yun silently asked himself:

"So every step of cooking, even the type of meat and the marinade, is important, right?"

System: "That's right, there can't be any mishaps."

Ling Yun's heart stirred: "If one day I also possess god-level control over heat, then anything I grill, as long as the quality meets the standard, can become a god-level dish, right?"

System: "The flame level of a divine dish requires the ability to control flames."

Ling Yun was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:

"Manipulating flames, that's beyond the realm of skill."

System: "Each time the food truck is upgraded, your strongest ability will gradually become a god-level ability."

understood.

Now I completely understand.

In principle, a god-level dish only needs one god-level existence.

It can be any key component of this dish.

However, all other steps and ingredients must be of A grade or above, only in this way can the quality of the divine dish not be affected.

It seems there are distinctions even among divine-level dishes.

With multiple god-level combinations combined, could it possibly result in an even more advanced... glowing dish?

Ling Yun shook his head.

He doesn't dare to think about dishes of that caliber yet.

Even the divine steak right in front of him, he couldn't finish today.

He didn't deserve an A-grade steak.

I want to make a god-level dish.

Beef that costs tens of yuan per kilogram is definitely not acceptable.

It has to be good quality goods.

Having made up his mind, Lingyun decided not to continue today.

Firstly, I was too tired.

The night market has been open since the afternoon, more than six hours have passed, and I am clearly feeling tired. My shoulders and wrists are sore.

A divine dish.

We should wait until tomorrow when we buy some good meat.

Let's settle all the guests first and then call it a day; consider it a form of promotion.

He looked up at the queue, placed the new eight steaks on the hot plate, and with a sizzle, white smoke rose.

Half an hour later.

The night market officially opened, and due to Li He and others' constant explanations, the number of new customers gradually decreased until they disappeared.

"Oh my god!"

After working for more than an hour, Li He wiped the sweat from her forehead. The sweat soaked her hair. She watched the gradually dispersing crowd, a hint of melancholy in her voice:

"If my bubble tea shop had this kind of business, I wouldn't have had to close down."

Lingyun stopped shoveling and shouted to the students:

"Don't rush, everyone have another steak before you leave!"

The college students, in their eagerness to help, didn't even get to taste the latest A+++ grade steak, and they even bought drinks out of their own pockets to distribute.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

He also intended to let them have a good talking session.

Hearing that there would be more food, everyone's fatigue vanished, and bright smiles appeared on their faces.

Young people consume energy quickly.

The few pieces I tried in the afternoon were long gone, so I happily went to buy some drinks, ready to have a big meal.

"The boss is so generous!"

Li He smiled and complimented her, then gently nudged Zhang Moli with her shoulder:

"Thanks to you today, otherwise this god-tier formula would still be out there!"

After speaking, she looked at Ling Yun with deep emotion and sighed:

"I can't believe you actually succeeded this way! I'm truly impressed!"

the end.

She then pounded her palm with her hand, looking very regretful:

"Why didn't I think of asking Jasmine to help me come up with the recipe!"

Ling Yun smiled without saying a word, but her hands didn't stop working.

Zhang Moli, however, was getting a little anxious.

She quickly approached the food cart, her face flushed, and began to explain:

"Actually, my luck is just average. The ingredients I just used were based on a few explanations I watched on Douyin. I chose the basic ones according to the principles they explained, and then randomly added a few more. It wasn't all based on luck."

She raised her phone and pointed the screen at Lingyun.

On the screen, a host dressed in a chef's uniform is explaining how to use the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to blend spices.

Seeing her anxious explanation, Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

Everyone wants to be one of the lucky ones.

But Zhang Moli seems to dislike it when people say she's lucky, and she's even trying to explain herself.

However, this video is quite useful.

Ling Yun learned the basics at school.

The spices he is most familiar with are star anise, cinnamon, scallions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine.

He immediately took out his phone:

"Let me add you on WeChat!"

"Okay, I'll forward all of this to you. I'll also send you any information I find in the future."

After adding the video on WeChat, Zhang Moli quickly tapped the screen four or five times to transfer the video.

After posting these messages, she felt much better and happily went back to her seat.

Ling Yun glanced at it.

These videos actually seem to be teaching people how to identify spices, and they seem to have some real substance.

It seems I really need to study harder.

"Here it is, it's ready!"

A few minutes later, Ling Yun cheerfully began to entertain the college students.

This time, they gave us a generous portion of steak. Although there was no pasta to go with it, it was enough to satisfy our taste buds.

"Holy crap—the boss's skills have improved again!"

A gasp of surprise erupted.

The college students immediately buried themselves in their food with great enthusiasm, the sounds of clinking knives and forks, chewing, and laughter blending together to create a lively atmosphere.

Not far away, Zhou Meimei, who was about to go to the store, stopped in her tracks.

She stared at them with bloodshot eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief and jealousy.
