A Bite of Douluo Continent
Page 175
As for the grilled meat, it was not difficult for Qi Han, who was an expert in controlling the heat.
Even so, after making what he thought was an exact replica of the original roasted meat bun, and confidently taking a bite, Qi Han fell silent.
The difference that could be clearly felt right from the first bite made Qi Han question his life.
It's not that it's not tasty, but rather... it's too delicious.
It's not that Qi Han is narcissistic, it's true.
The roasted meat bun in his hand, even though it used the same ingredients and similar cooking methods, tasted much more delicious than the one that Yu had imitated.
But what he wanted was the taste from his memory, exactly the same, not just something delicious enough.
Then the problem is coming.
Qi Han has extensive experience in making food more delicious, but he has absolutely no experience in making food less delicious.
What's so special about this?
"The ingredients are different."
A voice suddenly appeared beside him, interrupting Qi Han's dilemma.
The one who spoke was Master Tan Yuzhi, who had stood by and watched the whole thing without saying a word.
Hearing this, Qi Han couldn't help but turn to Master Tan Yuzhi, who had suddenly spoken up, and asked, "Senior, I used the same ingredients, didn't I? It's just flour and badger leg meat..."
He suddenly couldn't continue speaking and turned his head sharply to look at the roasted meat bun in his hand.
The final taste of food is related to the chef's cooking method, but there is another equally important variable.
The ingredients themselves!
The flour Qi Han used was made from wheat selected through hybrid breeding and irrigated by Ruyi with spiritual spring water.
The badgers are also carefully raised by Ruyi and fed with various feeds that are most suitable for badgers in a scientifically proportioned manner.
Both of these taste completely different from the varieties in Douluo Continent!
Meat and flour are two completely different main ingredients, so how could they possibly produce the same roasted meat buns that Feng Yi remembered?
Qi Han shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that all his efforts had been in vain.
No, that doesn't seem right either...
At least I'm already familiar with how to make roasted meat buns, so I just need to try different ingredients.
Thinking of this, Qi Han respectfully bowed to Master Tan Yuzhi, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand now. I will come again next time to ask you about the method of making jade dragon tendons."
After saying this, Qi Han flashed away and left the training space.
The ingredients provided by Ruyi are all provided according to the highest standards. If you want to cook the roasted meat buns you want, you can't use the ingredients provided by Ruyi.
You have to buy it yourself.
Fortunately, Shrek City is the largest city on the continent, so many goods can be found here.
For example, the badgers in the Kalai Forest area are also very popular here.
They can even send living things, let alone inanimate things like flour.
After washing up and getting dressed, Qi Han carried the clingy little rascal Guru out of the store and headed towards another street.
Next to the food street, there is a very large farmers' market.
After all, the numerous vendors in the food street are the main source of customers for the wet market, so this layout is more convenient.
Qi Han is now well-known to many people in Shrek City.
The moment he walked into the market carrying the cat, the huge market suddenly fell silent.
This mysterious owner of the cold food stall has never bought any vegetables from the market.
So much so that countless people speculate that the Cold Food Festival is backed by a complete supply of ingredients, enabling it to be self-sufficient.
And Qi Han, surprisingly, appeared here?
Suddenly, the customers buying vegetables and the vendors setting up stalls in the market all had a strange look in their eyes.
Qi Han was completely unaware of the impact he had caused.
He looked around at the quiet atmosphere and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
As expected of the largest vegetable market in the largest city in mainland China, it not only has a wide variety of ingredients, but also maintains such good order, with no noise at all.
Qi Han's purpose was clear, so there was no need for him to wander around the huge vegetable market. After looking around for a while, he quickly walked to a row of vendors who specialized in selling badgers.
His scrutinizing gaze slowly moved over the dismembered badgers, finally settling on one. "How much for the hind leg of this badger?"
Qi Han's attention was completely focused on the badger in front of him, and he didn't notice that as he asked the question, the customers around him who were buying badgers looked at each other and then quickly formed a long queue behind him.
This is the badger that Boss Qi has his eye on!
In their minds, this must be the best badger in the area.
You can't go wrong buying this!
Unconsciously, Qi Han actually achieved the effect of selling products.
"Her... hind leg?" Although somewhat surprised that the renowned Boss Qi would choose hind leg meat, the vendor quickly noticed the situation behind Qi Han out of the corner of his eye, and his face lit up with joy. "It is my honor that Boss Qi has taken a liking to my badger. This hind leg is a gift for Boss Qi."
"That won't do." Qi Han frowned. He didn't like getting something for nothing. He had never met this vendor before, so how could he possibly take advantage of him?
"Boss Qi, I'm sincere. This setback is nothing." The vendor silently calculated the number of customers standing behind Qi Han, his joy barely concealed.
With so many people, you could buy all of your pigs!
Could we even... sell it for a slightly higher price?
After all, if Boss Qi has taken a liking to my badger pig, it must be because my pig is exceptionally good.
Right?
Qi Han sighed softly. Seeing the vendor's insistence, he picked up the badger by its hind leg, roughly weighed it, glanced at the price displayed, quickly calculated the price, took out one silver soul coin and two copper soul coins from his pocket, placed them in front of the vendor, and turned to leave.
When you come to the market, you naturally can't bring Gold Soul Coins.
This behavior is like going to the market to buy vegetables with stacks of hundred-yuan bills.
Just see if people curse at you or not, and that's it.
Qi Han was slightly taken aback when he turned around.
Are there really that many people in line?
However, the badgers from this family are indeed better than those from other families, which is probably why their business is better.
Silently nodding to the crowd watching him, Qi Han strode away.
Completely unaware that after he left, countless customers instantly surrounded the vendor.
"Boss! Give me two pounds of pig's head meat from this badger."
"I want pork shoulder! Three pounds!"
"... "
"Don't rush, everyone!" The vendor grinned from ear to ear, leisurely adjusting the price tag in front of everyone. "With supply falling short of demand, this old man has to raise the price!"
"Damn it! What a swindler!"
Countless customers couldn't help but curse inwardly, but fortunately the vendor knew his limits and only raised the price by half a percent, which was still within the acceptable range for everyone.
Although they were cursing under their breath, the customers around them were quick to grab the food, and within minutes all three badgers and pigs that the vendor had brought were gone.
Chapter 248 I absolutely cannot sell it
"Hello, excuse me..." After finally finding a stall selling wheat flour in the market, Qi Han approached and was about to ask the price when he suddenly froze.
There were dozens of large bags in front of the stall, each containing a type of flour. Judging from their appearance, although the flours were different, they were all wheat flour.
"Boss Qi has a good eye! I have the most complete selection of flour in the entire market." The shrewd female vendor beamed with joy, her tone exceptionally cheerful.
She saw everything that happened at the badger stall. Boss Qi Han had chosen her flour, so she figured there would be no shortage of customers coming to her business.
"Are these flours... any different?" It was rare for Qi Han to ask a question that sounded somewhat amateurish.
It's not his fault. In his previous life, he didn't know anything about cooking, so naturally he wouldn't know these things. Although he has become a good cook with Ruyi's help in this life, he has always been using flour provided by Ruyi.
Unless there are special requirements, all flour produced by the system is the same type of flour.
He naturally didn't know the difference between the other flours.
Although somewhat surprised by Qi Han's question, the female vendor patiently explained.
"It's like this, Mr. Qi. These flours come from different places, and the wheat varieties used to mill them are also different, which will cause some differences in taste. Moreover, the milling methods are also different..." She pointed to one bag and then to another.
"You see, although these two bags of flour come from the same place and use the same type of wheat, the grain size is different because of the different milling methods."
Qi Han nodded thoughtfully.
It turned out to be the case.
With dozens of types of flour in front of him, Qi Han naturally couldn't buy a little of each to try, so he quickly came up with an idea.
"Do you have any flour produced in the area near Kalai Forest?"
That area was in a remote region, so the flour used by the residents was probably locally produced, and Feng Yi's mother should have been the same.
"Yes, yes." The female vendor's face lit up with joy as she hurriedly pulled out three bags of flour. "These three kinds are produced in the area near Kalai Forest."
Qi Han nodded in satisfaction, paid, and left.
After he left, the flour stall was once again surrounded by other customers, and before long, the female vendor's dozens of large bags of flour were sold out.
The other vendors were green with envy, wishing they could be the next lucky one.
However, Qi Han's purpose was very clear. After buying the two main ingredients, he picked out a bunch of houttuynia cordata from a secluded stall and left.
This time, the scene was not repeated. After all, even with Qi Han promoting the product, not everyone can accept houttuynia cordata.
Back at the Cold Food Shop, Qi Han put down Gulu, who was sitting on his shoulder, and then carried the ingredients he had just bought into the kitchen to start cooking the roasted meat buns again.
This time, there were no unexpected incidents, and Qi Han quickly identified one of the three types of flour, which was the same flour that Feng Yi's mother used to make roasted meat buns.
