A Bite of Douluo Continent

Soon, the roulette wheel stopped, and a random result appeared.

Qi Han stared wide-eyed at the image that was slowly zooming in.

Dishes with top-notch knife skills.

hiss…

Qi Han couldn't help but gasp.

Ruyi's big eyes darted around, and she winked at Qi Han, "Host, I'll let you in on a little secret: once this dish is finished, your knife skills will be upgraded to the perfect level."

Perfect-level swordsmanship... a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill!

Qi Han's eyes lit up, and his gaze toward Wensi Tofu suddenly became more eager.

Chapter 188 Nine Dishes

The Qing Palace Wanfu Meat event had only just begun, and no matter how eager Qi Han was, it was useless; he was still unable to activate the Wensi Tofu training space.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Han then began drawing randomly dropped recipes.

There were six recipes randomly dropped, so Qi Han simply closed his eyes and drew them all in one go. When he opened his eyes again and saw the results, his face fell.

Two-star recipe: Bodhi Jade Vegetarian Restaurant.

Two-star recipe: Longjing Shrimp.

Two-star recipe: Squirrel Mandarin Fish.

Two-star recipe: Shredded pork with garlic sauce.

Two-star recipe: Swallow skin wontons.

Two-star recipe: Steamed Fish Head with Chopped Chili.

Six consecutive two-star recipes became proof of Qi Han's incredible bad luck.

"Host, why don't you wash your hands before you smoke next time?" Ruyi tilted her head and suggested.

Qi Han pondered for a moment and then realized that it made sense.

"Next time, I'll definitely wash my hands before I smoke!"

However, on the other hand, although I didn't get any recipes with three stars or higher, the six two-star recipes that dropped this time were actually quite good.

Bodhi Jade Rice is a deluxe upgraded version of egg fried rice. As the most top-grade vegetarian dish, this dish has a very bumpy history and was almost lost at one time.

While both are fried rice, Bodhi Jade Rice looks cleaner than regular egg fried rice. It's served as a plate of perfectly separated white rice, but you can clearly smell the rich aroma of eggs and meat in it. It's colorless but tastes delicious.

Longjing Shrimp is a famous specialty dish from the Jiangnan region. The shrimp are jade white and tender, while the buds and leaves are emerald green and fragrant. The dish is elegant in color and has a unique flavor. It is refreshing and appetizing, leaving a lingering aftertaste. It is considered a masterpiece among Hangzhou cuisine. Many seafood and river delicacies in the Jiangnan region have extremely exquisite dishes. Crab Stuffed Orange was such a dish before, and Longjing Shrimp is also such a dish now.

Squirrel Mandarin Fish and Steamed Fish Head with Chopped Chili are both dishes from Jiangsu and Hunan cuisines, respectively. They both use fish as an ingredient, but they complement each other perfectly.

Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is mainly eaten for its body. The meat is shaped like a pine cone, and it has a sweet and sour taste, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Chopped chili fish head is a dish where you eat the fish head. Its flavor is fresh and spicy, making you want to shout with delight after just one bite. The fiery red chopped chili and tender white fish head meat are a perfect combination, quite different from squirrel mandarin fish, but equally a feast for the taste buds.

Compared to the two dishes above, shredded pork with garlic sauce is more unique.

Although it contains the character for "fish," it actually contains no fish.

Fish-fragrant flavor is an important flavor profile in Sichuan cuisine. The "fish-fragrant" flavor in shredded pork with fish-fragrant sauce is made from pickled chili peppers, Sichuan salt, soy sauce, sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and chopped scallions.

This seasoning has nothing to do with fish. It imitates the seasoning and methods used in Sichuan folk cooking of fish, hence the name "fish fragrance". It has the characteristics of salty, sweet, sour, spicy, fresh and fragrant, and is excellent for cooking dishes.

Many people think that "fish-fragrant" means that the dish has the aroma of fish, but this is actually a misinterpretation of "fish-fragrant".

The last dish, wontons wrapped in swallow skin, was equally amazing.

The term "扁食" is used in some regions of China and actually refers to dumplings.

Lean meat is pounded tens of thousands of times to form a paper-thin "swallow skin," which is then used as dumpling wrappers to wrap meat filling, making "meat dumplings," also known as swallow skin dumplings.

Therefore, it can be eaten as a staple food or as a meat dish.

This dish, in a sense, is similar to "Sanbuzhan" (a type of stir-fry), and it requires a lot of skill from the chef.

Of course, for Qi Han, who already possessed a soul power level of 30, a mere dish of swallow skin dumplings was no problem.

Six two-star recipes, plus the three-star recipe Wensi Tofu, and the Qing Palace Wanfu Meat which is currently under training, are all the recipes that Qi Han has not yet learned. Of course, we also have to add the reward for the time-limited mission, the three-star recipe Jade Dragon Tendon.

There are nine dishes in total.

Therefore, the main quest always offers the most generous rewards, and Qi Han now almost has the illusion of becoming rich overnight.

After receiving the mission reward, Qi Han quickly got up, washed up, and entered the system space.

With so many recipes waiting in line, the production of Qing Palace Wanfu Meat needs to be sped up.

...

By the time Qi Han emerged from the training space, the sun was already high overhead, and it was almost noon when the business would open.

After another round of rigorous training in the training space, he has completely completed the first step of making the Qing Palace Wanfu Meat, and has also mastered most of the second step.

Carrying Gulu downstairs, Qi Han opened the shop door and let the Qin sisters, who were already waiting at the door, in. He also greeted Tang Qianqiu, who was already at the front of the line.

After Tang Qianqiu's scare last night, where he killed a Title Douluo with a single shot, no one dared to rush up and die today.

Upon entering the shop, the Qin sisters ordered their desired dishes as usual. However, Qi Han did not immediately enter the kitchen as he typically did. Instead, he stood in front of the two women, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Qin Yao, would you like to learn cooking from me? I won't be staying in Xingluo City for long. After you learn cooking, I will hand over this shop to you and Qin Yue to run for me."

Eh?

Qi Han's words were so sudden that both women were stunned and didn't react for a long time.

"Boss, are you leaving Xingluo City?" Qin Yao blinked, somewhat confused.

Why leave when business is so good right now?

“I’m not leaving now, uh… no, I’m going to take leave tomorrow.” Qi Han scratched his head. “I’ll be going out tomorrow, and the shop will be temporarily closed for two days. I’ll stay in Xingluo City for a while after I come back, but I can’t stay here forever.”

Seeing the two women looking thoughtful, Qi Han continued, "So I plan to teach Qin Yao how to make hot pot broth and how to process ingredients. It might take a long time to learn other dishes, but this is relatively easy. Moreover, after learning how to make hot pot, she can also maintain the business of the shop."

Qin Yao was very smart. She quickly understood the pros and cons. After thinking for a moment, she slowly nodded and said, "Boss, I am willing to learn how to cook hot pot from you."

well.

Qi Han revealed a slight smile.

"No need to rush. The learning will begin after I return from my trip. However, you can try practicing your knife skills while you're at home these next few days."

Unable to resist recalling the hardships he had endured in the training space, Qi Han smiled and said, "You can buy a few radishes at home and practice slicing them into pieces. Try to slice each piece to the same thickness, the more even and thinner, the better."

"Okay." Qin Yao nodded, keeping Qi Han's words in mind, and planned to try it when she got back in the afternoon.

"Then I'll go make you some hot pot first," Qi Han said, turning to go into the kitchen.

“Um…” Qin Yao hesitated slightly, “Boss, can I watch you make it? After all, I’ll be learning this in the future.”

Qi Han slapped his forehead, chuckling to himself that he had almost forgotten, "Then you can come in too."

He paused for a moment, then spoke again, "Qin Yue, come along too. Both of you can learn."

"Okay, boss!" Qin Yue, who had been standing silently to the side with a somewhat gloomy expression, brightened up upon hearing this and immediately looked up.

I'm no less intelligent than my sister! The boss said I can learn too!

Chapter 189 The Infernal Corridor

Having grown accustomed to receiving instruction from phantoms and remnant souls in the training space, Qi Han's first attempt at teaching others offered a unique experience.

Culinary skills are the foundation of a chef's livelihood and are not easily passed on. Therefore, in the eyes of the Qin sisters, it was very difficult for Qi Han to allow them to watch from the sidelines.

Therefore, the two women remained obediently quiet while watching Qi Han cook, trying their best not to disturb him. Seeing this, Qi Han smiled slightly, slowed down his movements, and began to explain.

Although he couldn't narrate as eloquently as Canhun, Qi Han's explanation incorporated his own insights and experiences from learning to cook, making it equally valuable.

As the cooking ended, Qi Han's explanation also came to a close.

Qin Yao had a thoughtful expression on her face. With her memory, she had basically memorized the steps Qi Han had just explained. She just needed to try it herself and practice more, and she believed she would soon be able to master the cooking method of this hot pot base.

As for the other seventeen, they all lead to the same goal, and mastering one leads to mastering all others. Once you've mastered one, you'll learn the others much faster.

Qin Yue, standing to the side, became somewhat dejected. Qi Han's instruction was already very detailed, but she still felt as if she were listening to gibberish. When the explanation ended, it seemed as if she hadn't remembered anything.

This feeling of bewilderment is similar to that of readers learning mathematics.

Suddenly, her hand was grasped, and Qin Yue looked up at Qin Yao, who was smiling at her.

"It's okay, Yueyue, you're better at dealing with customers, which is something I'm not good at." The subtle telepathy between the twins allowed Qin Yao to understand what Qin Yue was thinking at that moment. She hugged Qin Yue and stroked her short hair.

"Ugh..." Qin Yue, who almost suffocated in Qin Yao's face wash, turned her head. After listening to her sister's comforting words, the depression in her heart seemed to dissipate a little.

Yes, I'm better at running a store, so why get stuck on the details?

The three of them carried the hot pot and ingredients upstairs. Looking at the steaming hot pot broth and the beautifully presented and delicious ingredients, Qin Yue swallowed hard and immediately forgot about her unhappiness.

cooked rice!

...

During the lunch and evening business hours, Qin Yue and Qin Yao informed the customers that Hanshi Restaurant would be closed for two days starting tomorrow.

This news has drawn cries of despair from countless diners.

In such a large city as Xingluo, there is no shortage of wealthy people.

Many diners were already regulars at Hanshi, some even eating there every day. The sudden closure of Hanshi was a devastating blow to them.

Having grown accustomed to the delicacies of cold food festivals, how could they possibly eat at other restaurants!

The diners were groaning, but one person, upon hearing the news, almost jumped for joy.

"it is good!"

An excited look flashed in Zhao Fenglai's eyes; it was truly a double celebration.
