After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

the other side.

Lin Fan drove his Wuling Hongguang home to pick up his daughter and is now steadily driving back to Phoenix Golden Street.

The little incident that happened at the market earlier didn't leave any trace in his mind.

It didn't even cause a ripple for a second.

The chick knows the ambition of the swan.

Lin Fan's current goal is to stand at the absolute pinnacle of this world's culinary system.

That little incident just now wasn't worth affecting his mood at all.

Back to "Lin's Shop".

It was just past 7:30.

Su Xiaoxiao had already arrived. She was dressed in a clean and neat business suit and was holding a mop, meticulously cleaning the dust on the steps in front of the shop.

"Good morning, Brother Lin!"

Seeing the familiar Wuling Hongguang stop, Su Xiaoxiao quickly put down the mop in her hand and ran over to greet it, skillfully helping to open the car door.

"Good morning, little sister!" Tuantuan was wearing overalls and carrying a small water bottle. As soon as she opened the car door, she couldn't wait to jump into Su Xiaoxiao's arms and greeted her in a childish voice.

"Oh my, our little princess looks so beautiful today."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and pinched Tuantuan's cheek, then turned to look at the several large plastic bags that Lin Fan took out of the trunk, and quickly reached out to take them.

"Brother Lin, let me get it. Did you go to the market to buy it yourself today?"

As Su Xiaoxiao took the bag, she peeked inside with some curiosity.

She knew that the ingredients in Lin Fan's shop were always mysterious and top-quality, and were usually taken directly from the always-locked storage room in the back kitchen.

Why did I suddenly go to the market today to buy these seemingly ordinary tomatoes, bamboo shoots, and wood ear mushrooms?

"Well, I'm planning to try two new dishes today. The restaurant is missing a few ingredients, so I went to the market to check."

Lin Fan casually offered an explanation, then took Tuantuan's hand and walked into the store.

In the early morning, a faint sandalwood scent permeated the "Lin Family Shop." The lingering smell of cooking oil from last night had been thoroughly purified by the system's built-in cleaning function, and the air was as fresh as a bamboo forest after the rain.

"Xiaoxiao, you take Tuantuan outside to play for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. We'll open promptly at nine o'clock."

Lin Fan methodically handed over the work instructions.

"Okay, Brother Lin, don't worry, I'll take care of things outside!" Su Xiaoxiao said enthusiastically, leading Tuantuan to the side.

Lin Fan walked into the semi-open kitchen and pulled up the glass partition between the kitchen and the front room.

He walked to the control panel, took a deep breath, and instantly entered a state of absolute focus.

He poured the tomatoes he bought from the market into the sink.

Although these tomatoes were naturally ripened varieties grown by the old farmer, they still had a slightly earthy smell and uneven sourness in Lin Fan's eyes, now spoiled by the system.

However, with the rare artifacts we obtained earlier, these are no longer problems.

With a thought, Lin Fan summoned the purple-gold vegetable washing basin from the [Spiritual Essence Purple-Gold Kitchenware Set].

This pot is dark purple all over, and its surface is engraved with extremely intricate ancient water patterns.

When Lin Fan put the tomatoes into it and poured in the Kunlun Spring water specially supplied by the system, a magical scene occurred.

The tomatoes soaking in water had tiny, extremely murky particles slowly seeping from their skins.

This is the "impurity removal" function built into Zijin kitchenware! Without damaging the cell structure of the food itself, it forcefully removes the trace impurities and astringent factors remaining inside the tomato!

In less than three minutes, the tomatoes that originally looked ordinary now had a ruby-like luster in the water, and even emitted a pure, sweet and sour fruity aroma.

"It truly is a divine weapon."

Lin Fan sighed in admiration and scooped out the washed tomatoes.

Next, let's talk about knife skills.

When making scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the biggest mistake is that the tomato skin affects the taste.

Many chefs like to blanch the tomatoes in boiling water to remove the skin, but this softens the outermost layer of flesh and causes some of the flavor to be lost.

Lin Fan picked up the [Purple Gold Black Iron Kitchen Knife].

The blade is slightly heavy, yet holding it in your hand evokes a strange, almost visceral connection.

He gently pressed down on a tomato with his left hand, held a knife in his right hand, and his wrist twitched only slightly.

"Whoosh—"

The blade glided lightly around the tomato's skin at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

A thin, perfectly intact, even translucent red tomato skin slid down the blade!

The entire peeling process takes less than two seconds, and the juice inside the tomato is perfectly locked in the flesh without a single drop leaking out!

Lin Fan's hands kept moving, and with a few crisp "tap tap tap" sounds, the peeled tomatoes were precisely cut into uniformly sized chunks and neatly arranged on the preparation plate.

After processing the tomatoes, Lin Fan walked to the temperature-controlled refrigerator and took out the premium free-range eggs that he had just harvested that morning in the farm space.

The eggs laid by these free-range chickens, raised in the spiritual fields and fed on spiritual rice bran, are smaller than those of commercially available free-range eggs, but their shells have an extremely warm, pinkish-white color, like jade.

"Click".

Lin Fan cracked the eggs with one hand, neatly dropping five eggs into a blue and white porcelain bowl.

There was no unpleasant eggy smell at all; instead, there was a faint milky aroma.

The egg white is thick and translucent, like a crystal-clear gel; while the yolk in the very center is a deep orange-red, like the afterglow of a sunset! It is full, round, and brimming with vitality; it won't even break when you gently pick it up with chopsticks.

Lin Fan picked up his chopsticks and stirred rapidly at a specific frequency.

The chopsticks clinked together in the bowl, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

The golden egg liquid gradually became smooth and even, and a layer of extremely fine foam appeared on the surface.

"Take it off the heat."

Lin Fan turned on the high-powered stove.

Blue flames instantly leaped up, licking the dark, purplish-gold shimmering [Purple-Gold Bagua Wok].

The pot heated up rapidly, but Lin Fan, standing in front of the stove, did not feel any scorching heat.

The purple-gold wok seemed to lock all the heat firmly in the bottom of the pot, without letting any escape.

Lin Fan poured in a little oil, his eyes sharp as he precisely monitored the changes in oil temperature.

50% hot!

Lin Fan flipped his wrist and steadily poured the bowl of golden egg liquid into the pot.

"Sizzle—!!!"

With a delightful pop, the golden egg mixture, upon contact with the bottom of the purple-gold pot, seemed to be magically transformed, rapidly fluffing and expanding!

The aroma of scrambled eggs should be the most dominant and easily spread smell in the kitchen.

But at this moment!
