C3 Lottery Was also a Technical Skill
Wang Lin looked at the beef grain turning from white to yellow until it was golden. He put the bean sauce in and stir-fried it together. Then he poured soy sauce and chili powder into the sauce. When the red oil was stir-fried, the beef sizzled at the bottom of the pot. He poured some water and added some golden taste. He put the tofu into the pot and covered it with the lid.
About three to four minutes later, Wang Lin opened the lid and immediately smelled a very salivating smell.
The bottom of Gou Qian's soup was orange in color, and hot steam rose up, bringing with it the fresh and delicious fragrance of soybeans and meat mixed together. In addition, after the seasoning was heated, the fragrance brought about by the red oil and fat made him salivate.
Swallowing his saliva, Wang Lin poured the pepper powder that he had prepared earlier into the soup, stir-fried it, and then added some green garlic to remove the soybean taste. Then, he put it on a plate and carried it out of the kitchen.
Ya was very worried when she saw him enter the kitchen alone previously. In the little girl's opinion, other than studying, she was basically an elder brother who did not differentiate the five grains. She really did not have any talent in cooking. She even planned to quit school and come to the restaurant to serve as a spoon holder if she really could not do it. At least the food she made was edible.
However, this thought disappeared when she saw Wang Lin take out the plate of Mapo Tofu.
Ya used almost all her strength to resist the urge to be like a puppy. She rushed forward and turned the plate in her brother's hand, but even if she stood still, that delicious aroma that was hard to ignore also made her crave more. Her nose twitched non-stop.
Wang Lin looked at her restrained manner and could not help but grin. He put the plate on the table and took out a pair of chopsticks for her. "Gluttonous cat, try it?"
"I am not a little gluttonous cat." Ya argued and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of tofu and put it into her mouth. "I just want to test it..."
Halfway through her words, she froze and her small face was filled with disbelief and surprise.
"What's wrong?" Wang Lin rubbed her hair in amusement.
"Brother, did you really do this?" Ya stuck out her tongue from the heat and swallowed reluctantly. Then she picked up another piece and put it into her mouth. She asked indistinctly, "That's not right. Didn't you not even know how to cut vegetables just now? But this Mapo Tofu is even better than the big restaurant my parents brought me to last year."
Ya's heartfelt praise made Wang Lin somewhat proud. He could not help but boast, "What a joke. Your brother is a genius."
However, this complacency did not last long. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lin heard the system prompt in his head.
"Because the host's knife skills and control of fire are too inferior, the completion rate of the divine level Mapo Tofu is only 10%. The cooking level this time is not satisfactory. Color, fragrance, and five latitude rating: 10 points. Failed to meet the passing standard."
"Poor food is the greatest insult to a gourmet's self-esteem and glory. This dish is inedible and cannot be sold. Please destroy it as soon as possible."
Are you saying you don't feel any pain in the waist? What else can I do when I make something for the first time?
Wang Lin sighed rather painfully. Under Ya's puzzled gaze, he took the plate, turned around, and poured it into the muddy water.
"Brother! What are you doing!" Ya bit her chopsticks and cried out in surprise. Her heart ached as she said, "Why did you pour it out? It's such a delicious thing."
Wang Lin could not explain it. He could not say that the system was having a stroke. Must I pour it out? He shook his head with a bitter smile and found an excuse to say, "The beef just now was not cooked. It will cause diarrhea if I eat it. I will cook it again."
As he spoke, he turned around and entered the kitchen. Immediately after, the system notification sounded again.
"Initiate mission: The first step to becoming a gourmet. Mission completion requirement: Make a set of Celestial Mapo Tofu with a five-dimensional rating of 60 points and above."
Alright, alright. You're the boss. You have the final say.
Wang Lin complained in his heart. He took out the tofu and repeated the process again.
"Five Dimensional Rating: 11 points, not qualified."
Oh, it increased by one point. The knife skills did not change much. So this point came from the heat?
Wang Lin thought to himself and focused his attention on this. Every time he stir-fried, he would focus his attention on the ingredients rolling in the pot, afraid that he would miss out on some details that he did not notice.
One serving, two servings, three servings...
11 points, 15 points, 20 points.
He repeatedly and mechanically cooked this dish. The sky turned dark, and very quickly, the bucket was filled.
Ya brought in a cup of hot water and passed it to him. She looked at the tofu that was poured out with some heartache, wiped his sweat and said, "Brother, cooking is a grinding process. Take it slow. It would be a pity to pour it out like this."
Wang Lin smiled bitterly. How could he not know this, but the system forced him to. Secondly, the two of them had no one to rely on. Their only hope was whether he could set up this small restaurant. Therefore, the hard work and hard work in the early stages were always necessary.
Fortunately, after pouring so many portions, he finally had some gains.
Putting the rest aside, at least for now, he needed time and heat to cook every ingredient. He already knew them like the back of his hand. This was due to the precise evaluation given by the system. After all, compared to other chefs who needed to come to a conclusion based on their own guesses, this kind of adjustment was much more intuitive and convenient.
Finally, the problem of the fire was almost solved. Wang Lin saw that the recent evaluation did not exceed one point, so he heaved a sigh of relief and changed it to improving the knife skills.
After a few more hours, when he felt that his arm was numb because of the repeated movements, the system notification sounded like the sound of nature.
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to host for completing the mission: The first step to becoming a gourmet. System reward: 200 experience points for leveling up, 10 business vouchers, one lucky draw ticket. Ding Dong! Congratulations to host for completing the mission: The first step to becoming a gourmet, system reward: 200 experience points for leveling up, 10 business vouchers, one lucky draw ticket."
"The host's steady and steady efforts reflect the gourmet's firm pursuit of food. Special reward: E-class Gourmet Item: Nooblet Gourmet, Head of the Lottery. Congratulations to host for completing the quest: The first step to becoming a gourmet. Reward: 200 experience points for leveling up, 10 business vouchers, 1 chance to draw a lottery."
"Note: Rookie Gourmet item: This is the item that the legendary Dr. Strange Flavorful once used to show off. Tie him to the forehead. You will receive + 10% cuisine proficiency 'Gourmet Aura'. (Noob Gourmet's Note: Trust me, this thing is definitely more useful in Nooblet's hands than a god-tier skill book. "
After the system notification ended, Wang Lin called out to his Stats Window and immediately discovered a slight change.
The original Basic Food Skill: Divine level Mapo Tofu has become Intermediate, and in the Gourmet's Item column, the E-class rookie Gourmet's headband has appeared.
"Would you like to immediately take out the item: rookie Gourmet's headband?"
The system prompt sounded. Wang Lin turned his head to look at his younger sister, thinking about the scene of the golden flavor appearing out of thin air. He was worried that it would scare her, so he thought about it and rejected the system's inquiry.
"Friendly Reminder: Host has drawn twice. Would you like to use it?"
Could it be that there was something wrong with this too?
Wang Lin hesitated for a moment, but he still could not resist the curiosity in his heart. He handed the God Level Mapo Tofu to Ya, and after attracting her attention, he quickly replied, "Use it."
A roulette instantly appeared in his mind. The wide and flat surface of the golden disc was divided into countless columns. The bright red needle began to rotate, and not long after, a prompt came.
"Ding Dong, it's a pity that you got nothing from this lucky draw."
F * ck, there's even an empty wheel?
Wang Lin silently cursed his bad luck. Under the system's inquiry, he chose to continue the second lucky draw.
The wheel rotated again, and after a moment, the needle stopped.
Immediately after, a brilliant golden light burst out from the surface of the wheel. It was like the sound of a firecracker after a lottery. Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the highest reward of the Level 1 system wheel: The Golden Fishing Rod of a Food Hunter! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the highest reward of the Level 1 system wheel: The Golden Fishing Rod of a Food Hunter!"
