Man Is A Prisoner Of Food: Starting From Running A Restaurant

Liu Xin walked into the kitchen, called up the system task panel, and checked the tasks he had just received.

Time-limited task: [Diners with tricky tastes]

Difficulty: two stars

Task introduction: "Challenge master" Helimo asked the host to make a dish with five tastes, and asked the host to make the corresponding dish within one hour, and got Helimo's approval to restore the restaurant's honor.

Completion rewards: 600 points, increased reputation.

This is the task that was triggered just now.

The key task to trigger the task is Helimo in front of you.

"Challenge Master" Halimore?

Liu Xin felt that he had heard this name somewhere.

After a few seconds, I thought of where I had seen it.

Top 100 cooks in the world!

In the latest update of the ranking of "Top 100 Cooks in the World", there is the name Helimore.

The ranking of the top 100 chefs in the world is not fixed and may change at any time. The ranking is judged according to the chef's strength and contribution to society.

The ranking of Helimore recorded by Liu Xin is 96, which is at the bottom, and it is also the young hero who entered the top 100 for the first time.

This is the second "Top 100" chef after Gopley.

However, this Hailimo is different from Gopli, as if he came here to find fault.

"Cooking with five flavors? It's just right, after learning one, let's make that one."

After Liu Xin thought up the recipe, he started cooking.

In the meantime, use the dining room.

Aaron, Tian Suohui, and Nanako gathered together, discussing in low voices.

"Speaking of which, what kind of cuisine can have five different tastes? And according to the level of pickiness of this person [ordinary cuisine will definitely not work. Aaron took the lead in provoking the topic.

Tian Suohui thought for a while, and said: "Generally speaking, there are more than a dozen types of food tastes, such as tender, crisp, loose, soft, waxy, rotten, crisp, cool, slippery, cottony, old, moist, dry, etc. There are indeed many kinds. There are dishes with different textures, but there are very few dishes that can achieve 5 kinds at the same time, and some textures cannot appear in the same dish."

"Hey, why?" Nanako asked puzzled.

"It's very simple. If the taste of the food is tender and smooth, it is impossible to have an 'old' taste. It is tender and old, isn't this contradictory?" Aaron explained.

"It turned out to be like this." Nanako finally understood.

"But having said that, I seem to have seen that person on the Internet..." Aaron said, slapping Helimo in front of the dining table.

"In this way, I seem to be a little affected." Nanako also thought.

In the kitchen, Liu Xin concentrated on cooking.

It only took ten minutes to complete the dish.

Then came to the dining room with the finished dishes.

"Keep you waiting, use

The food served on a white plate was delivered to Helimo.

"Is it finished so quickly? Let me see what you made, huh? Tofu!" Helimo said, looking at the dishes in front of him.

"This is mapo tofu!" Tiansuo recognized the newly made dish at a glance.

"That's right, this is the representative dish of 'Sichuan cuisine' in Chinese cuisine - Mapo Tofu. Eat it while it's hot, as this dish contains all the textures you want." Liu Xin confidently

Helimo looked at the dishes in front of him, with a bit of surprise in his eyes: "I have heard that Chef Liu Xin is good at 'Chinese cuisine', and I am honored to taste it today. "I hope I will not be disappointed."

As he spoke, Helimo picked up the spoon on the side and prepared to taste it.

As mentioned before, the world of food prisoners also has the genre of "Chinese cuisine", but there are very few chefs who are good at it.

Among the top 100 chefs in the world, there is only one chef who is good at Chinese cuisine, and there is Lingchun, who is known as the "Emperor of China" and is currently ranked 37th.

Therefore, even a chef like Helimo has rarely seen Chinese cuisine, let alone tasted it.

Helimo didn't taste it right away, but looked at the mapo tofu in front of him from the perspective of a cook.

The mapo tofu that has just been served is bright in color, and the tofu cubes, which are equal in size and look like white jade, are scattered in the bright red chili oil.

Between the red oil and tofu, you can still see the meat sauce, and the top layer is decorated with green chopped green onion.

Helimore nodded secretly in his heart.

At the same time, if you put your face close to the plate, you can smell the strong spicy taste.

From the two points of "color" and "fragrance", this dish is already impeccable.

What about the taste?

Haili Moxin didn't realize that he had been firmly attracted by this dish, so he couldn't help picking up the spoon beside him.

Tofu and meat sauce are mixed with chili oil, and a full spoonful is delivered to the mouth.

The first feeling when you enter the mouth is that it is hot!

But it is not so hot that it cannot be put into the mouth, but it is just the critical point that the mouth can bear.

After scalding, the strong irritating "spicy" and "numbing" spread from the tongue, and then spread to the whole mouth.

Among the spicy and spicy, the saliva is secreted quickly.

Just after taking a bite, you can see beads of sweat oozing from Helimo's forehead.

The spicy and spicy flavors complement each other, so spicy, but it makes people unable to stop.

Halimore quickly scooped up a second spoonful and put it in his mouth.

Then came the third mouthful, and the fourth mouthful.

It didn't stop until the plate was empty.

Heilimo picked up the napkin on the table, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I never thought that I could make such a delicious dish with a mere frosted tofu..."

Frost's Tofu, which captures level 1 ingredients, is a gourmet ingredient produced at the IGO Gourmet Research Institute, and then promoted to the market and planted on a large scale.

Although it contains high-quality oil flowers like high-grade frost beef, the aftertaste is as refreshing as tofu. Because its oil is plant-based, it is a popular ingredient among vegetarian gourmets.

"The spiciness of the chili pepper, the numbness of the pepper, the tenderness and smoothness of the tofu, and the hotness of the whole dish have reached five tastes. Adding the 'fragrant' and 'color', this dish should have seven tastes. "Helimore returned the taste.

Liu Xin smiled, looked at Heilimo and said, "This 'Shuangjiang Mapo Tofu' is a new product I plan to launch soon. You are lucky to taste it in advance. How about this dish, are you satisfied?"

1

With a comprehensive score of 85, this is the most successful dish improved by Liu Xin.

Liu Xin's hometown is in Sichuan, and he has eaten a lot of mapo tofu. In addition, he has learned the recipe of "Magic Mapo Tofu", which makes it easy to improve.

Helimo ate to his heart's content, and Liu Xin successfully completed the task.

The reward was not received immediately, so it was put aside for the time being.

"Chef Liu Xin, the cooking you cook makes my blood boil. If I don't have a competition with you, my boiling blood will have nowhere to vent. Now I, the 'challenge master' Helimo, officially sends out to you Cooking challenge!"

Helimore challenged Liu Xin to cook.

"Ah, cooking duel?"

"This guy, who the hell is challenging Chef Liu Xin!"

Nanako and Aaron were both surprised.

Helimo had a powerful chef's aura, looked at Liu Xin with both eyes and said: "No reason, no bet, I want to compete with you, who did it? The food is even better. Today I am honored to be able to taste your Chinese cuisine. I can’t go to the next restaurant to challenge you unless I compete with you. Let me see your cooking skills!

Facing the challenge, Liu Xin smiled.

After a few seconds, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "'Challenge Master' Hai Limo, who is currently ranked 96th in the world cooker, does not open a restaurant, and is famous for challenging all kinds of cookers from all directions. According to reports, he has defeated so far. Only after having recruited more than 20 famous chefs, can we have the title of 'Challenge Master'."

Having said this, Aaron on the side immediately remembered that there was such a No. 1 person.

"Ah, it turns out that he is a 'challenge expert'. "Gourmet News" has reported his deeds before. He seems to be a very good chef!" Aaron said in surprise.

"Being among the top 100 chefs in the world is enough to prove his strength, but...but why did he choose Chef Liu Xin as his opponent?" Nanako wondered.

Hearing this, Hai Limo laughed a few times and said, "Chef Liu Xin is a chef who has been in the limelight recently. He keeps creating new recipes, regenerating ingredients such as rainbow fruit and BB corn, and even discovering new seasonings. It is expected that sooner or later he will be able to enter the top 100 chefs in the world with his strength. Of course he is qualified to be my opponent. The 'Shuangjiang Mapo Tofu' he made just now also speaks for itself! Come on, chef Liu Xin, hurry up and agree I can't wait for my culinary showdown!"

Liu Xin was still standing there calmly, with his arms folded.

"`I refuse."

"What?"

Helimo's expression changed immediately when he heard this.

"Do you want to escape? Or, are you afraid of cooking with my husband!"

Liu Xin turned around and said: "This kind of culinary skill showdown doesn't mean anything to me, it's just a waste of my time. It's already late, so hurry up, we have to rest. That's right , You also trouble you to settle the bill, the 'Shuangjiang Mapo Tofu' you ate just now charged you 4,000 yen.

"Hey, you have no reason to escape. If you don't accept that I come to your restaurant every day to make troubles, you will have no peace." Hailimo said solemnly

When Liu Xin heard this, he stopped immediately.

"Are you threatening me?"

At that moment, Ri's powerful murderous intent accumulated towards Haili.

Excellent cooks all have a certain level of hunter strength.

Helimo was no exception, but after sensing Liu Xin's killing intent, he was also taken aback.

What a terrifying killing intent, this chef named Liu Xin is really not an ordinary character.

"never mind."

Liu Xin suddenly withdrew his momentum, looked at Helimo in front of him and said, "It's okay to let me accept your challenge, but I want to raise the stakes."

"Bet?" Halimore looked at Liu Xin suspiciously.

"If you lose, you have to work in my restaurant to help out until the start of the 'Gourmet Festival'. If I lose, the Chinese restaurant will be closed for half a year.

Halimore froze for a moment when he heard the betting conditions.

"You asked me to work in your restaurant? Hahaha, what an interesting (Mano's) bet! However, how could I lose, I accepted!"

Helimore was so confident that he agreed without thinking too much.

"The cooking showdown will be tomorrow night, and the place will be in my restaurant, okay?" Liu Xin asked.

"No problem at all."

"As for the judges..."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the gate of the restaurant.

"Let me be the judge."

When everyone looked at it, they saw Jijimu with a mustache walking in.

Mr. Jijimu!" ​​Liu Xin shouted.

Jijimu stroked his beard, walked in front of Liu Xin and Heilimo, and said, "I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation, I think I'm still qualified to be the host of this culinary showdown

judge. However, if the duel is to be fair, I can't do it alone. If the two believe me, I will find two more professionals to serve as judges with me. "

"I'm fine.

Liu Xin said and looked at Helimore.

"It doesn't matter who is the judge, the result is the same anyway!"

Halimore was still confident in himself.

No wonder, so far, Helimo has challenged more than 20 star chefs without any defeat. He has such a proud capital army.

The cooking duel time and the judges are all awakened, now only the subject of the duel remains.

Looking at the almost untouched seafood ramen on the table, Jiji suggested that the theme of the duel be "noodle cuisine".

After hearing this, Liu Xin and Helimo had no opinion.

This culinary duel was thus settled.

This is Liu Xin's first culinary duel when he came to this world, and the form of the duel is almost the same as Yuan Yue's "Food Halberd". .
