Translator: 549690339
On the last day of the new year, many people had the same thoughts as Dong Fang. They put a lot of things that should be celebrated and luxurious on this day.
Furthermore, it was the first day of the new year, so many people had free time. All the supermarkets, tourist attractions, and restaurants were full of people. Naturally, master chef Restaurant was no exception.
Lunchtime passed slowly. After Yuan Zhou sent off the last customer, he entered the kitchen as usual and bent down to take out a porcelain bowl from a cabinet under the counter.
Most of the cabinets under the countertop were used by the system to store all kinds of ingredients. Although it was a small and narrow piece, there were definitely a lot of ingredients inside. After all, it was supported by the system’s Black technology. It was likely that as long as the system was alive, there would be no shortage of ingredients!
There was a slightly bigger cabinet that was a little special. He had specially placed some special things in it, such as the wild honey used to make honey fungus. There was only a little bit of it every month, and every time he got it, he would put it in this cabinet. There was also the bowl that he had just brought out.
At this time, there was some large peach gum in the bowl that had been soaked to the right extent. It was dark reddish-brown in color and had a full shape. It looked soft and sticky, and he wanted to pinch it.
Just like the wild honey, the peach gum was also collected by Yuan Zhou after crossing mountains and wading through water. He just didn’t meet Mr. MA again. The difficulty and danger of collecting the peach gum were definitely lower than that of the wild honey, although almost all of these peach trees grew on the cliffs of the mountain.
Probably due to the high altitude and sufficient sunlight, the peach gum looked exceptionally plump and beautiful after being hammered by the wind and rain. Even though it was already dried on the tree trunk, it was still larger than usual. Each of them was about the size of a quail’s egg. After being soaked in it, they were even bigger than a pigeon’s egg.
There was no need to worry about being stung by bees, but climbing the mountain was also a hard work. Moreover, some peach trees happened to grow on the cliff, so it was not an easy task to scrape off peach gum.
After a friendly negotiation with the system, Yuan Zhou once again added a dish with the number 2 on the menu. Unlike the honey Tremella with the number 1, the serving of the dish depended on the mood of the bees, while the milk peach gum depended on the people.
“According to the schedule, it should be here tonight. The peach gelatin just so happens to be ready. It should be no problem to stew it directly in a while.”
Yuan Zhou looked at the peach glue carefully and found it was done very well. Then, he immediately felt relieved.
Then, instead of going upstairs to wash up or practice cooking, he took out his phone and did the most important thing, shaking the number.
......
This was probably the only bad thing about digital dishes, which was more difficult to handle.
“Yingluo, Yingluo.”
Yuan Zhou shook the phone slightly. He had gradually figured out a set of rules for shaking the phone. If he wanted to shake the phone to get as small a number as possible, he had to shake the phone not too much. Otherwise, he would get some very big numbers.
The number 15 he got the first time was considered small, but it was still far from the number 2 that Yuan Zhou wanted. Now was the time when he still needed to work hard before he succeeded. Even Yuan Zhou couldn’t get the number he wanted easily. He could only shake it slowly.
” 5. It’s already very close. If I shake it a little more, it might be close.”
” 3. Just a little bit more. It should be soon.”
After shaking it a few times, it kept pacing back and forth around the 2. Once, it even shook the 1 of honey Tremella, but it didn’t get 2. No one else could do it.
However, the heavens did not forsake the diligent. After shaking the dice for more than 20 times, Yuan Zhou finally got the desired number 2. Then, he calmly asked the system to add the milk and peach gelatin under the column of dishes.
In the middle of the menu of master chef Restaurant, there was a very special menu page. Usually, there was not a single word on it, only some faint lotus flower patterns. Every specific day, one or two dishes would appear on it. The price was quite low, almost free of charge. Now, there were already four such dishes on the menu. From 1 to 4, they were all the results of Yuan Zhou’s hard work.
However, Yuan Zhou planned to finish it only when the number of dishes reached 1 to 10. Therefore, he had been working hard to save up the number of dishes.
Having settled the price of the milk peach gum, Yuan Zhou looked at the time and found that it was still early. He then started to practice his cooking skills in the kitchen. The test had not been completed yet. Although he had tried more than a dozen ingredients, he had not found one that he was very satisfied with. He needed to continue practicing.
It was unknown when it started, but Yuan Zhou was no longer blindly pursuing success when doing missions. Instead, he would submit the mission only after he was satisfied with himself. It was equivalent to having two obstacles in a mission.
No one else knew about this except for the system. If other chefs knew about Yuan Zhou’s crazy request, they would probably not want to compete with him anymore. The gap between them was really too big.
For example, while you were still thinking about how to land on the moon, the other side had already set up camp on the moon and was thinking about how to go to the sun. The difference was only measured in light years.
Time passed by slowly while Yuan Zhou was practicing and preparing the ingredients. Very soon, it was time to line up for dinner. Many people were waiting at Taoxi road or nearby. Therefore, they came very quickly. Of course, there were also customers who came from their workplace in a hurry.
No matter if they were waiting here or rushing over, they all moved in unison, looked at the line, and then immediately lined up. They were afraid that if they moved late, they would be behind a few people, which meant that they would have to eat later than a few people. Who could bear it? this kind of thing was absolutely intolerable.
The little girl’s actions were particularly eye-catching. Of course, because everyone was busy queuing up, only a few people noticed her, but her actions were indeed different from others.
She just stood at the side of the line, not waiting in line. Every time someone came, she would take a step back, as if she was waiting for someone in the back line. She was even mumbling and counting ‘1,2,3’... A lot of numbers.
When it was almost time, the little girl quickly lined up in the queue. It was already the last line.
In fact, in the blink of an eye, she was already in the line. She was very fast, and it was obvious that she didn’t get in the line just now because of her slow movement, but for some other reason.
Although the little girl’s clothes were old, they had been washed very clean and tidied up. It was not known whether it was because she looked young or she was young to begin with, but she looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.
He held an enamel jar in one hand and patted his chest with the other. He had obviously used all his strength to line up.
The little girl, Tao Ran, took a deep breath before she could relax.”You should be in the last few places this time, right?”
It turned out that Tao Ran had been counting the number of people just now. She knew how many people the restaurant could serve for a meal, and because she didn’t want to disturb other customers, she had been waiting at the back. The best seat was obviously the last one.
However, the number of people was constantly changing. It wasn’t big, but it was enough to prevent Tao Ran from being last every time. The last time she came, she was last in the second-to-last group due to a miscalculation, so she was extra cautious this time.
