Original God, starting from the sister against the brother

"Catherine, help me post a task to purchase various [Bass] and [Heartfeather Bass]."

"We need three of each type of fish. The mission reward should be higher. They should be delivered to the mansion before dinner."

As Chao Ke spoke, he took out a check from his chest, wrote a generous amount on it and handed it to Catherine.

"Understood Mr. Chao Ke, I will assign the task to the experienced adventurer."

"Ah."

He nodded to Ke and was about to leave, but was stopped by Catherine.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Chao Ke."

"I have news about the Sumeru scholar named Afendi, whom you asked me to pay special attention to."

Chao Ke stopped and looked at Catherine with some surprise.

"Show me his information."

Catherine nodded slightly, turned around, took out a file from the filing cabinet behind her, and handed it to Chao Ke.

Chao Ke pulled it out and checked.

"Name: Effendi"

"Gender: Male"

"Organization: Sumeru Teachings Institute (Trainee Liaison Officer)"

"Biography:..."

Catherine explained.

"This Mr. Afendi passed the entrance examination of the Faithful Court just last week and became a trainee liaison officer of the Thirty-Man Group."

"Our companions in Xumi passed this information to us as soon as possible."

He nodded to Ke, "Thank you for your hard work."

After collecting Afendi's information, Chao Ke planned to go to Xumi after finishing the things at hand.

Getting the recipe from Afendi was secondary. The main thing was to accompany Senior Falushan and see how she had adapted to Xumi City a hundred years later.

After issuing the mission at the Adventurer's Association, Chao Ke returned to the Buffati Mansion.

After all, I will try to cook [Squirrel Fish] using local seafood from Fontaine.

The kitchen of Jiaziwei Restaurant is already a bit crowded. If they make room for food tasting, it will probably affect the normal food delivery of the restaurant.

But the kitchen in the Buffati Mansion has a larger space, allowing Chao Ke to express himself freely.

The finished practice projects can be handed over to the children to finish, so that the food will not be wasted.

Chao Ke returned to the mansion and first made himself a cup of black tea. Then he walked to the cat bed built by Linnet and picked out a kitten to hold in his arms.

Just like that, Chao Ke lay comfortably on the comfortable leather sofa in the mansion, smelling the tea aroma slowly released from the teacup, and stroking the cute kitten in his arms.

This leisurely life is really pleasant.

After the red tea in the cup became mild, Chao Ke gently patted the cat in his arms.

The cat understood what Chao Ke meant. After rubbing against Chao Ke's body for a few times, it stretched leisurely, jumped off Chao Ke's body, and quickly returned to its own cat bed.

Chao Ke couldn't help but nod. The kitten trained by Linnet was really good. It was active and not clingy.

No wonder those kids who were against cats before are not so disgusted now. In fact, two or three of them have joined the ranks of cat-stroking recently.

Chao Ke picked up the drinkable black tea and sipped it in small sips.

After finishing a cup of tea, Chao Ke arrived at the cafeteria of the Buffati Mansion.

He found an empty seat and sat down, calling out the system interface to Ke, intending to first complete the ultimate cooking of the dish [Squirrel Fish] in the God of Cooking Trial Field.

【Recipe: Squirrel Fish】

[Description: A fish dish with extremely complicated craftsmanship. The whole fish needs to be deboned and cut into diamond-shaped patterns. It is then coated with flour and deep-fried until golden brown and set, and then served on a plate and topped with tomato sauce. It is named for its shape that resembles a squirrel's tail, and has a unique texture of crispy on the outside and crunchy on the inside.]

[Do you want to start practicing? ]

【whether】

"Yes!"

After confirming the option, Chao Ke’s eyes went dark.

As his vision changed and he regained clarity, Chao Ke found himself in the space of the Kitchen God Trial Field.

He pulled over the trolley filled with food and was surprised to find that the fish provided by the system were not live fish but frozen ones.

Fortunately, the system's prompts answered Chao Ke's doubts.

[The fresher the fish is, the better it is for making squirrel fish. High-quality live fish that have been frozen for a period of time are more suitable. 】

He nodded to Ke, understanding the system's intention of choosing chilled ingredients.

Moreover, this explanation from the system reminded Chao Ke of some memories from his past life.

It seems that this statement was also mentioned in the animation in the previous life.

Chao Ke took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, picked up the knife at hand, and began to process the fish provided by the system.

The fish provided by the system are very similar to the mandarin fish in the previous life, but they also retain many characteristics of Teyvat fish.

I think it should be a hybrid of multiple fish species.

At least, Chao Ke has never seen this kind of fish in the current fish atlas.

The weight of this fish is probably around three pounds.

Chao Ke first gave the fish some preliminary processing, removing its scales and internal organs.

Then, Chao Ke followed the instructions in the system recipe and cut diagonally along the gills of the fish.

The hand holding the knife exerted a little force, and with a "click", Chao Ke chopped off the fish head.

In order to prevent the fish head from deforming when frying the fish, it is necessary to repair the fish head and cut off some joints so that the fish head can stand on the joints.

In this way, no matter how it is fried, the fish head will not be deformed, thus ensuring the beauty of the meal to the greatest extent.

Putting the processed fish head aside for later use, Chao Ke focused his attention on the remaining fish meat.

Take a deep breath, the next step is the most critical step in the whole dish.

First, pierce the fish along its back with the knife, then go all the way along the spine of the fish, deep into the fish until you reach the tail of the fish before stopping. Also, you must ensure that this piece of fish meat remains connected to the whole fish and does not fall off.

After cutting half of the fish, Chao Ke turned the fish over and did the same thing to cut off the meat on this side as well.

The closer you get to the tail, the more careful you have to be to avoid cutting off the fish meat.

When the meat on both sides of the whole fish was fanned apart, he swung the knife towards Ke, and with a "click", he cut off the remaining fish bones in the middle and threw them away.

Next, use a kitchen knife to trim the two pieces of fish meat connected at the tail and remove their ribs to ensure that the remaining fish meat is clean and free of fish bones.

At this step, there is an additional note in the recipe provided by the system.

That is, when processing fresh fish, you can slightly freeze the fish meat at this step.

In this way, it is easier to cut the fish into chopstick-sized filaments when making the pattern cuts. After being patted with flour and fried, it will be particularly neat, just like the golden hair of a squirrel.

Of course, since the fish provided by the system is freshly frozen fish, this step can be skipped.
