Star Food Tycoon

To boil sugar, you need to have a pair of iron fingers and iron palms.

The temperature and touch of the syrup that fingers feel when grasping the sugar, the tactile sensation when it congeals instantly, the tactile sensation that remains after melting on the tip of the tongue, and the tactile sensation of pulling the sugar out of the pot when the sugar is boiled. Feel with the flesh of your fingers and palms.

"I was burned at the beginning, but I got used to it later." The master looked at Xia Zheng's bright eyes and said, "You still have to stay here for a few days."

Xia Zheng counted the days, and the ticket to go back is six days later: "There are still six days."

"If Xiaozheng wants to stay for a few more days, he can book a new ticket and go back before school starts. But he has to bring homework for the holiday first." Xuan Jing said.

Xia Zheng looked at the master: "Go back before school starts, and you can stay for forty days."

"Forty days is enough for you to familiarize yourself with the essentials." The master nodded, "The next step is your own comprehension and practice."

The process of boiling sugar is actually quite simple, the key is to control each step.

It took him less than ten days to learn how to cook sugar, but it took him half a year to make sugar that satisfied him.

And for so many years, every time he made sugar, he felt different. After a while, he felt that the sugar he made before was not good enough.Craftsmanship is improving all the time.

For chefs, many crafts are common.The control of the heat when boiling sugar is the same as the control of the heat of other dishes.

Therefore, the requirements for the "inspiration" of the chef are very high, and it is precisely because of this that the chef can make sugar that is better than the machine, and the chef has at least a level [-] level.

And chefs above level [-] may not necessarily be talented in sugar making.

The Master is now casting a wide net.Xia Zheng's strength and potential in cooking are good, and he is young enough. If he wants to learn, the possibility of learning is very high.

If you can't learn it, you can learn a lot from the sugar making process.

Those who have become masters almost all have a heart to support the younger generation.

The master readily expressed that he wanted to give advice to Xia Zheng, and Xia Zheng was naturally very happy to stay.

The master's safety can be guaranteed, and he also said that he can stay with Xia Zheng for lodging.

Moreover, because Xia Zheng is underage, Xuan Jing can live with Xia Zheng.

In order to show respect for the master, after Xuan Jing told the others about this, he asked them to go back to the base first, including Xia Yu.

Xia Yu originally thought that he would accompany Xia Zheng by himself, but Xuan Jing said that he finally asked the master to allow him to stay, and the temporary replacement may not be happy for the master.

If the master is unhappy, it means that he may not guide Xiaozheng, which means that Xiaozheng will be unhappy. After Xia Yu wrote this equation in his mind, he entrusted Xia Zheng to Xuanjing, and went back to announce the good news to Xia Qin.

Our Xiaozheng has been spotted by everyone, and we are giving advice.

Not to mention whether Xia Qin was shocked or surprised when Xia Yu came back and Xia Zheng didn't come back (no), Xia Zheng was very happy to live with the master.

The master's name is Kun Chris. Although he is more than 140 years old, people in this world have a long lifespan. They will keep their appearance in their [-]s and [-]s, and they will not change until they are old.Chris is well maintained and looks young.

Chris found a child who might be able to pass on the memory, so naturally he stopped going to the Transparent Workshop.

He doesn't mind making Sophora Flower Candy in front of everyone, but he is worried that the children will be distracted.And the reporter must have heard the news, he didn't have any expectations for the reporter's integrity.

Even though most of the star Najinaru has not been developed because it is used as food to protect the desolate star, there are always places where no food grows and people can live.There are small towns here, and Chris owns a small estate here, which is also allowed by the Union government.

Xia Zheng and Xuan Jing followed Chris to live in the small manor.

With a small manor, it means that it is absolutely no problem to provide two clean and tidy spare rooms.

Xuan Jing felt a little disappointed.

He thought he could live in the same room as Xia Zheng—of course, Xia Zheng was underage, and he was not a beast, so he didn't think about those unharmonious things.But it's a way to enhance feelings and exchange little secrets when you reach your feet and go to bed to sleep and talk at night.

What a shame to miss it.

Xia Zheng was so focused on asking Master Chris for advice that he didn't notice Xuan Jing's loss at all.

When it came to Master Chris, the difference in treatment between Xia Zheng and Xuan Jing became obvious.

Because Xia Zheng was asking Chris for cooking lessons, the two of them have been busy in the kitchen since early in the morning—not just making sugar, Chris also brought out other techniques of making dim sum for Xia Zheng to learn.

Chris is a great dessert master and desserts are what he does best.Of course, Chris is also good at cooking other dishes, but since he is a junior asking for advice, he will naturally show his strengths.

In addition to learning, Xia Zheng will definitely learn how to operate it by himself, and he will also make his own Chinese-style dim sum to ask Chris for advice.These snacks naturally entered Xia Zheng's stomach in the end.

The snacks that the two of them tried their best to make were naturally luminous, and Xuanjing naturally had no share in these luminous snacks.

Just like the original sophora flower candy, he didn't have a share.

The chef in Zhuangzi is in charge of his three meals a day. Although the food is not shiny, it tastes good.

After dinner, Xuan Jing would exercise in Zhuangzi, or go to the virtual network to practice mecha skills.

Although he stayed, it seemed that he and Xia Zheng had no chance to exchange feelings.

Very frustrating.

On the other hand, Xia Zheng was having a great time.

He and Chris got along very well. This cheerful Ximeng man decided to promote Xia Zheng from childhood friend to junior friend. Xia Zheng also called Chris from Master Chris to Kun.

Xia Zheng knew the differences in customs between the people of the ASEAN and the people of the Western League, so he didn't have any embarrassment about this title.

Xuan Jing watched Xia Zheng and Chris get along better and better. Their happy expressions and friendly gestures made him feel uncomfortable.

Xuan Jing frowned.Is he jealous?Is this jealous?That's what jealousy feels like.

accurate.

... When people get to know each other well, they don't necessarily only talk about cooking skills with each other.

Xia Zheng was holding a bowl of small glutinous rice balls. The soup was melted with sugar from Sophora japonica flowers. The glutinous rice balls the size of a little fingertip were wrapped with fresh fruits and jams.

You won't get tired of eating delicious food all the time, not to mention there are so many tricks.

Now Chris, after listening to Xia Zheng talk about his daily life, began to teach Xia Zheng his own experience.

This experience is not in cooking, but in life.

Chris felt that Xia Zheng's personality was too soft.

A chef like him can't cook casually.

Just like a top tailor, he doesn't take care of all the large and small items that need tailoring at home.

In fact, the better the cook, the less you cook at home.

Xia Zheng has also discovered that different dishes made by the same chef have different degrees of deliciousness (glow). If it is an ordinary home-cooked dish, it basically does not shine.

People only live for so many years, and they only have so much time every day. If you spend time preparing home-cooked dishes that will not improve your cooking skills, is there still time to experiment with new inspirations?

A long time ago, when chefs reached a certain level, they could not improve their own strength.

Because they want to live.

Many chefs work in restaurants and hotels. Even if the chef only cooks a few of the main courses, diners will order repeated Cai day after day and year after year.As long as the chefs have a special dish, they often cook the same dish day after day and year after year.

Many diners lamented how amazing this dish was when I ate it more than ten years ago, but why does it feel so so-so when I eat it now.This restaurant is really getting better and better.

The chef could only smile helplessly after hearing this.

Is it really that the ingredients have deteriorated, and the chef's craftsmanship has deteriorated?A restaurant that has been passed down to this day will not slap its own brand on the ingredients, and it is impossible for the chef to cook the same dish day after day.

However, it is just tired of eating.

Just like sophora flower candy, although a piece of candy every day feels delicious.But after the entrance, it will not be as amazing as before.

Sophora flower candy is a snack anyway, and it is only eaten occasionally, so most of the time it can still maintain a relatively fresh taste.But the meals are different.

Why do the ingredients in the ASEAN cuisine series make most people want to keep coming?Because it's just that much per plate, you'll be full after ordering many kinds of food, but you only eat a little of each.

For example, many people love salmon sashimi. It is too delicious to eat two or three slices in one go. If you eat two or three slices in one go... you will vomit.

Don't chefs want a change?Yes I do.But they want to make a living, and the diners order the signature dishes, so they have to cook.

Although I want to think about new dishes in my spare time, most of the time, I have no energy.

After many chefs go home, they don't cook meals at home.

The world has developed to the present, and the status of chefs has been greatly improved. A chef above level [-] is even a strategic force—he can guarantee the recovery and improvement of the mech warrior's mental power.Therefore, it is inevitable for chefs to ensure the improvement of their cooking skills.

The higher the level of chef, the less promotion he can get when cooking repetitive and ordinary dishes.

They need to let their hearts go.

They need lots and lots of dark cooking as fertile soil to grow a gorgeous, delicious flower.

It is understandable to relax occasionally and cook home-cooked dishes for a while with relatives and friends, but most of the time, the chef's energy should not be wasted on mechanical and simple actions.

Xia Zheng wants to learn mechs.

Chris thought it was a good idea.He doesn't have mental power himself, but he has a partner who will drive him to hunt for ingredients in a mech to satisfy his search for the most time-sensitive ingredients.

Moreover, it is human nature to be adventurous, it is fun, and new ingredients and seasonings can be discovered to provide inspiration for his new dishes.

But I don't know how to machine armor, sometimes I still find it troublesome.

Where to go, you have to take into account the schedule of your partner. After all, he and his partner are two independent people, and they have their own affairs.

If you can turn on the armor yourself, you can go whenever you want.

There are many.

But again, people have limited time and energy.

Even if Chris doesn't know how to drive a mecha, he also knows that it takes time and effort to drive a mecha well.

Then Xia Zheng would have even less time to study cooking skills.

Every time he cooks, he should be sure to gain something.Even if it's just to practice the basics.

But simple steamed rice and toast can't give him these.

"You are a good boy, you value your family and others, and you are not good at refusing. You take it for granted to cook for your family, and to provide three meals for those who protect you as much as you can. In fact, this is not the case." Chris said, "A whole day An ordinary home-cooked dish is better than a well-cooked dish? If it’s just an ordinary delicious dish, where can they not eat it. Isn’t what you can give them is the unique dish that belongs to the delicious master?”

"For those who protect you, you have gone too far. One dish of yours is enough for more powerful mecha fighters to protect you. Although there is no transaction between you, they basically eat three meals a day. Solve it yourself, you provide one dish every meal, or even every day, is enough."

"You use your cooking to repay their protection, not to feed them every day."

"It's because you haven't taken the grade test yet. If you have obtained a certificate of level five or above, even if you don't say it, they should reject it." Chris frowned, "If they didn't know how to hunt and cherish food to compensate you, otherwise I would Doubt their morals."

Xia Zheng was dumbfounded.Is it that serious?

"This is our unwritten rule. Everyone does it." Chris continued to educate his soft little friend earnestly, "You should be more confident. Your strength and status make you have to have a certain amount of arrogance." .It has nothing to do with your nature, but the dignity of the entire industry."

"Think about it, if a chef who is equal to you, or even inferior to you, knows that you have no arrogant behavior, how would you feel?"

"Besides, most of our chefs are ordinary people. If we don't have arrogance, are we still sought-after gourmet masters? No, we will become pigs raised in captivity."

Why are gourmet masters respected?Because if it is not for the dishes they are willing to cook, it is impossible to shine.

For others, it's a mystery.

For the gourmet master himself, this is arrogance and dignity.

The current status of gourmet masters is exchanged for the price of their almost faulty skills.

Would a powerful person be willing to bow his noble head to a powerless person?

Before they must bow their noble heads, they must think of all other ways.

For example, imprisoning people who can make dishes that affect spiritual power, as their servants.

This doesn't work, so they look for talented children, or train chefs themselves, so that they are basically their servants.

However, in this way, gourmet masters cannot be cultivated, only ordinary chefs can be cultivated.

A gourmet master needs a free heart and a proud soul.

This is not to say that the gourmet master is a good person or a bad person, but that first of all, he must be a person who loves himself.

Glowing dishes need cooking skills, but also love.First, he needs love for himself.

All Xia Zheng met now were good people.But not everyone in the world is a good person.

Now these fighters who protect him know that they owe Xia Zheng, and will consciously hunt for food to make up for it.But a lot of people don't, and they even go so far.

Even though the status of gourmet masters is lofty now, there are still many gourmet masters who have fallen.

They may have lost their names by accident, or they may have been deprived of their qualifications to cook delicious dishes.

Chris once met a very talented young level [-] chef. In order to repay his kindness, he was asked to provide meals for profit every day, and he had no time for himself.

In the end, this chef found that his inspiration had dried up. Although his cooking skills were still there, he never had the flashes of inspiration when he was cooking.His meals, while still delicious, were becoming less potent.He is still hovering at the level of a fifth-level chef.

For those who want him to make a profit, a fifth-level chef is enough.

As far as he is concerned, he has already lost his qualifications to become a master.

A fifth-level chef is his eternity.

When he finally got rid of this kind of life, he would never return to the inspirational youth.

"I don't want you to be like this." Chris was not alarmist.He felt that with Xia Zheng's current attitude, he might be bullied by villains who love to take advantage of him.

These people don't care how much Xia Zheng will grow up in the future, for them, being able to eat the dishes of a fifth-level chef once is a stroke of luck.

Xia Zheng will not reject people, so when he is in school, during internships, when traveling, or even at various times, he may meet other people who go with him, and these people may use various reasons to oppress Xia Zheng.

For them, this is just a matter of effort for Xia Zheng.

But even if it is a little effort, it is also my little effort. Why should I let you take advantage of it and make myself tired?

Xia Zheng must see this clearly.

Xia Zheng was lost in thought.

His temper is not as soft as he shows.

Being at the bottom of the law of the jungle, in addition to doing everything possible to improve Li Liang and the near-perfect expression camouflage has penetrated into the bone marrow, sufficient rationality and indifference are also necessary means to protect oneself.

So it's not that he will do anything because of other people's request.

The reason he didn't realize the problem Chris was talking about was because he hadn't thought about it yet.

In his previous life, he couldn't refuse others.Arrogance or something, is it possible for an ant like him who has no talent for cultivation to have it?

Although he is not inferior, he is definitely not arrogant.

Therefore, after weighing the gains and losses, Xia Zheng usually chooses a method that does not offend others as much as possible.

Before rebirth, he was tightly protected by his family.When he won the championship of the youth food competition, his family used him as an excuse to stop cooking at home—in fact, he was rarely responsible for everyone’s meals at home unless it was a holiday. Just cook one or two dishes.Sometimes when cooking for several days in a row, his parents would nag him and not allow him to do it again.Unless he promises that he really wants to cook.

And his university is a day study, and he is not familiar with his classmates, and he will be taken care of by family members or bodyguards when he goes out.

This family let go of his protection, and he has to enter the school to study in a closed mode, and he may even go on missions, and spend more time communicating with outsiders, and most of the time he needs to deal with these problems by himself.

He should really think about it.

"Kun, I think what you said is right." Xia Zheng has a very clear view of human nature, Chris understood it, and he naturally figured it out quickly, "I will pay attention."

"You're a good boy, but a good boy can't protect himself very well." Chris smiled and rubbed Xia Zheng's hair, "Although I like your well-behaved appearance very much, for yourself, you should be more self-willed." Some."

Xia Zheng smiled shyly.

Seeing Xia Zheng's smile, Chris felt anxious.

Why do you feel that even though Xia Zheng promised, he still feels unreliable?The soft and glutinous buns are really covered with a layer of diamond skin, will it make people's teeth crumble after biting?

... Chris did not avoid Xuan Jing's conversation with Xia Zheng. Although he didn't hear much, as long as he understood the meaning.

After listening to Chris' earnest teaching, Xia Zheng locked himself in the room and thought for a long time, facing Xuan Jing who insisted on squeezing into his room with him, he said to comfort him: "They gave me hunting ingredients... yes Did you suggest it?"

Xuan Jing grinned, showing eight white and shiny teeth: "I didn't propose, I just said, don't do things that will get you beaten when you go back because you are young and don't understand anything."

He paused, and couldn't help complaining: "Xia Qin must regret letting Xia Yu come to watch you. He is really...too stupid. He will definitely be taught a lesson when he goes back this time."

Xia Zheng frowned: "Second brother is a good person, he didn't think so much. And if I don't want to, I will definitely refuse. As long as I refuse, second brother will stand by my side."

Xia Yu may not know much about the world - after all, he has too little experience and contact with people, but he is very sensitive to Xia Zheng's emotions.

Not to mention refusing, as long as Xia Zheng is even a little unhappy, he will help Xia Zheng refuse.

But Xia Zheng is not a child, he hides his emotions deeply.No, he doesn't even hide his emotions, but thinks too clearly, and often adjusts himself after weighing the pros and cons.For example, Xia Zheng was not unhappy when his family protected him too much in his previous life, because he knew that he was too weak and needed the protection of his family.

When you have enough strength, talk to your family, they will understand.

It's the same this time.Xia Zheng himself doesn't think it has anything to do with working so hard to cook so many meals.

Although he has no time to try new dishes these days while catching ingredients, he is also using home-cooked dishes to explore how to deal with new ingredients, so he doesn't feel that he is dragged down by the heavy cooking tasks.

What's more, he pushed out all the chores.

He did, however, have been adopting a conciliatory approach.

"I can see that you have something in your heart, so I didn't remind you. If it really violates your bottom line, you are not an unprincipled old man." Xuan Jing consciously judges people very accurately, "But I am not a chef after all. You didn’t consider your profession itself. Master Chris is right, you need to show a little pride. Pride and indifference can sometimes be a good way to refuse trouble. It’s much easier than you achieve your goals with tactful means.”

After finishing speaking, Xuan Jing touched his chin: "Perhaps, I should also learn."

At this moment, Xia Zheng seemed to see the shadow of the cold-faced general afterwards.

Could it be that the so-called cold-faced iron-blooded general is actually... a disguise for fear of trouble?
