The Dark Prince's Special Forces Concubine

In Zui Xiang Lou, several signature dishes were just served. Mu Qingqing invited Yu Yingjun to eat: "Come on, classmate Xiaoyu. Let's ignore everything else and take care of our stomachs first. Let's see if the signature dishes produced by this famous restaurant in Shengjing City are really that delicious!"

Cordyceps and eight-treasure duck, steamed meat with camellia, green snail shrimp, steamed mandarin fish, stir-fried gardenia, and jujube paste cake.

The color and aroma were okay, but I wondered how it tasted. Mu Qingqing picked up a piece of mandarin fish with chopsticks and it had a muddy smell - that's right, there was no ginger in this era.

I took another bite of the duck meat, and it had a strong duck smell. I guess the chefs here haven't learned how to use cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. I took one bite and spat it out.

I took another bite of shrimp, which was bland and tasteless. The shrimp was not starched and a little old, but still edible.

Mu Qingqing immediately lost her appetite.

What famous restaurant? This is the dish? You dare to call it a signature dish! In modern times, even dogs wouldn't eat it. Not to mention Mu Qingqing who is used to eating delicacies from land and sea.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over. He bent down and asked in a gentle voice: "My lady, is the food in our restaurant not to your liking? I saw you spit it out after taking a bite?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's good attitude, Mu Qingqing didn't want to make things too awkward (a typical example of someone who only responds to soft words and not hard ones): "This dish of fish is not fishy enough, this dish of duck meat has a ducky smell, and this dish of shrimp is not tender enough."

“This… it’s like this here…” The shopkeeper almost wanted to say: Are you here to mess things up? Don’t all the restaurants here have fishy smells? My restaurant is the least fishy. . . .

"Oh? Really?" Mu Qingqing looked at the shopkeeper in front of her who was sweating coldly: I guess the current chefs only know how to steam, stir-fry and boil. The seasonings are only rapeseed oil, coarse salt, sauce and aged vinegar.

Oh, it would be nice if there were modern seasonings. I think about my past life. I often had to lead mercenaries in no-man's land and had to find food by myself. I have a very picky taste, so I can only make my own food. After staying in Country Z for a long time, I have actually developed good cooking skills. I am very good at using the top ten cooking methods: stir-fry, fry, steam, mix, roast, stew, boil, roast, deep-fry, and stew.

"Host, host." Ali Jiujiu's voice sounded in his mind: "I just heard the host's voice and discovered a hidden function in the system. The host will definitely like it!"

Listening to Ali Jiujiu's flattering voice, Mu Qingqing communicated with him in her mind: "What hidden function? Tell me about it. And it must be something I like. I just don't believe it. You can be that nice?"

"It's like this, host." Ali Jiujiu hurriedly explained: "This function is in the gray corner, and I didn't know about it before. Didn't I hear the host's voice just now? This interface just lit up a few times. Tip: Our system is from the modern era. So we can buy all modern items. The prices are similar to those of modern times. Some may even be much cheaper than modern prices. But the prerequisite is that you have to have money - cash, silver, and antique calligraphy and paintings. Dear!"

"Is it really that good?! So simple!" Mu Qingqing was a little bit unconvinced by this trick.

"Of course," Ali Jiujiu said quietly and flatteringly, "One thing is that for all purchases, a 10% service fee will be charged after the transaction. For a rich woman like you, this is just a drop in the bucket."

"Humph! I knew you weren't that kind..."

"This is just like when you go to a high-end restaurant in modern times to eat. The restaurant will charge you 10%-30% service fee!" Before Mu Qingqing could finish, Ali Jiujiu quickly explained: "Host, think about how generous you were before! How come you have become so stingy now that you are here!"

"That's because I'm here naked now. I brought nothing with me except you, a guy who charges for everything!" Mu Qingqing replied angrily.

"Host, how can you think like this?!" Ali Jiujiu began to persuade her: "You have to think about it. At least the one you are joining now is a rich lady who is as wealthy as a country. Not only is she rich but she is also powerful. Your biological father is the head of all officials!"

"I just don't want to take advantage of my current parents for nothing."

Hearing the host's somewhat depressed voice, Ali Jiujiu quickly encouraged her: "Don't think like that, host. You are just using your mother's resources temporarily. When you use what you know in modern times, you can help them live a happier life. And then be filial to them, isn't that OK?"

After listening to Ali Jiujiu's recommendation, Mu Qingqing became ambitious again: Yes! With my strength, in this backward era, can it be difficult for me? The answer must be no. I must leave my name in this era. Well, my business territory will start from the small restaurant in front of me.

Come on, my first pot of gold!

Mu Qingqing and Ali Jiujiu's conversation lasted only a moment. When the shopkeeper saw Mu Qingqing answer "really?", he became dazed. After waiting for a while and seeing no response, he stepped forward and asked, "Miss, do you have any good suggestions? Can you recommend a restaurant or chef that can remove the fishy smell?"

"No need for introductions. Take me to the kitchen now. I will personally cook two dishes for you. What do you think?"

"This..." The shopkeeper was still hesitating.

Yu Yingjun exclaimed in disbelief: "Xiao Qingqing, when did you learn to cook?"

"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Mu Qingqing glanced at Yu Yingjun, "Come on, give me some silver first."

"Oh." Yu Yingjun responded, then took out a few silver ingots from his arms.

Mu Qingqing took the silver, stood up and strode straight towards the kitchen.

The shopkeeper could only quickly step forward to lead the way, but he must not let anything happen to this delicate young lady here.

Several chefs in the kitchen saw the shopkeeper bringing a delicate girl over, and they all looked at him: What does that mean?

Chef A: Who am I?

Chef B: Where am I?

Chef C looked up at the sky: There is a beautiful woman coming to the kitchen, am I dreaming?

The shopkeeper is still looking at Mu Qingqing with a confused look on his face.

Mu Qingqing walked around the kitchen. After all, it was the largest restaurant in Shengjing City. The dishes inside were quite complete: flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water. Some wild animals that were banned from sale in modern times could be seen everywhere here.

Look at the obvious seasonings --- it's really hard for the chef here. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice! Even the simplest fennel, star anise, and bay leaves are not available.

He turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I will cook two dishes for you now. Ask the cook to wash a big black fish and a duck for me. I will prepare the other side dishes myself. After washing, assign me a cook to make the fire. Everyone else, leave."

Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, the shopkeeper nodded. After giving the order, he led the others out of the kitchen. Seeing Mu Qingqing's eyes that did not allow for rejection, Yu Yingjun also followed the shopkeeper out.

While the cook was killing the fish and cleaning the duck, Mu Qingqing quickly said to Ali Jiujiu, "Hurry up and buy me some seasoning packets for pickled fish and spicy duck."

Seeing the first order coming, it was a little small, but at least it was open. Ali Jiujiu said excitedly: "Okay, host. Eighty coins, eight coins for service fee. (Equivalent to eight yuan and eighty cents in modern times) Do you need anything else? There is a free cash deposit service here. You can deposit the money here and withdraw it at any time. This will be more convenient for your future consumption!"

"Okay, okay." Mu Qingqing replied impatiently: "Put all the cash you have in storage. Hurry up and get all the seasonings out."

I casually took out the green peppers (there are no red peppers here), white radishes, and mushrooms that I would use later from the vegetable box...

Wait for the cook to bring the washed duck meat, brush it a few times and cut it into duck cubes of similar size, then marinate it with salt, chicken essence and soy sauce.

Remove the head and tail of the fish, cut the fish meat in the middle into thin slices, coat it with flour and marinate it. Take a white radish that is evenly proportioned, and cut it into slices of uniform thickness in a few strokes (this knife skill is definitely that of a Michelin five-star chef). When all the preparations were done, Mu Qingqing only left a cook to light the fire and started cooking.

Mu Qingqing only took about an incense stick of time to cook her specialty.

As Yu Yingjun was still pacing back and forth in the corridor and looking around from time to time, a fragrance wafted over from the kitchen. It was a fragrance that he had never smelled before.

Yu Yingjun followed the smell and ran to the kitchen, fearing that he would miss the delicious food.

When the shopkeeper and several chefs saw this, they quickly followed Yu Yingjun to the kitchen.

The team was surprisingly orderly.
