Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Completion of Cooking (Part 2)

Although he decided to complete the task of “Trying Skills for the First Time”, Xie Yunfei who ran into the kitchen was not in a hurry to do it. He did not forget the scene of the afternoon when the roasted wheat came out of the basket in the kitchen of Jixing Liao.

Although the white mist filled the air, although it was very light and lasted for a short time, Xie Yunfei did see it, and saw a layer of golden streamer on the surface of the siu mai.

Is it an illusion?

Well, vision can sometimes deceive people, but the system in the brain obviously doesn’t.

In the recipe column of Xie Yunfei’s personal panel, the bottom part of the specific method of Sixi Shaomai is recorded. In the blank space where there was nothing, there are now a few lines of words out of thin air:

[Improved:]

[Incomplete version of the golden ratio: additional degree of completion +4]

【Size reduction: extra completion +2]

In addition, Xie Yunfei made Sixi Shaomai with a degree of completion as high as 69 during the day, and the degree of completion of the final product has already reached 75, which is very close to the degree of completion required by the task.

But because of this, Xie Yunfei was puzzled. He didn’t understand what the so-called completeness of the system was.

He had tasted the Sixi Shaomai he made, and because of some improvements, it was even better in flavor than the Sixi Shaomai he made before. According to his expectations, even if the completion degree of such a work does not reach 90, there is no problem in completing the system’s tasks.

However, the evaluation given by the system exceeded Yunfei’s expectations. Not counting the additional degree of completion gained from the improvement, his craftsmanship was only a mere 69 points, which did not meet Mrs. Wen Xu’s praise of “must kill cuisine”.

Because he worked part-time during college and didn’t have much time for study, Xie Yunfei developed a weird habit of having to understand everything thoroughly before executing it. The code he coded in his later days as a programmer was due to this habit. You have to spend several hours less than your colleagues, and you can leave work on time every day, which is the envy of others.

Now, even after traveling to a brand new world, Xie Yunfei doesn’t seem to have any plans to get rid of this habit of his.

“System, tell me about the concept of ‘completion’.”

【clear! 】

The system appears to be very humane, although it has not been even a day since it was created. Not long after the words fell, a recording suddenly sounded in Xie Yunfei’s mind.

[Every world, every country, every region, and even every person has different ideas about cooking, but there is only one thing that is common, and that is—delicious. 】

It was a man who spoke, with a low voice and a calm tone.

[Sour delicacy, sweet delicacy, bitter delicacy, spicy delicacy, salty delicacy, and the delicacy mixed together. 】

[But everyone’s taste is different. Some people like sweets, some like sour, and some don’t like spicy food. These are still good, but further, it may be because of eating habits, or Because of my physical fitness, I can’t eat spicy food, I can’t taste sweetness, and I am allergic to ingredients… many delicacies lose their due meaning. 】

[The same dish will be marked with completely different scores in the hearts of people with different tastes. This is not to say that there is something wrong with the taste of the diners, but just that the dish has not reached the true ‘delicious’ level. 】

[Really “delicious” dishes, regardless of taste, just put on the table, can attract everyone’s attention, let those who lack taste have the desire to taste, let those who can’t eat spicy food subconsciously stick out their chopsticks, and let those who are allergic to food disease is suppressed. 】

[And the so-called ‘completeness’ is the standard of ‘deliciousness’. 】

[When the completion degree of white-grade cooking reaches 90, when the completion degree of blue-grade cooking reaches 80, and when the completion degree of purple-grade cooking reaches 70, the cooking will glow, emitting a light that represents the real ‘deliciousness’. 】

[Yes, only luminous dishes can be called excellent dishes, and only chefs who can make luminous dishes are qualified to be called the best chefs. 】

【Remember, ‘deliciousness’ is the core, and radiance is the appearance. 】

[Cooking that doesn’t shine is not good cooking, and a chef who can’t make glowing cooking is not a good chef! 】

The recording stopped abruptly, leaving only Xie Yunfei in the kitchen with a surprised face.

Although Xie Yunfei was curious about the identity of the man in the recording, he also knew that the system would not tell him.

But, it’s delicious…

The first thing that a dish should focus on is delicious food. This can be said to be something that all chefs will be told on the first day of becoming an apprentice. Most of them have been working hard in this direction.

But the man in the recording took a step closer to the definition of deliciousness, to the point where Yunfei couldn’t understand it for the time being. That’s a difference in realm. People who have just started climbing the mountain naturally cannot know what scenery the person standing on the top of the mountain sees.

Shaking his head, shaking off some messy thoughts in his head, Xie Yunfei asked again, “System, tell me the degree of completion of delicious-level cuisine in the general population. There is also the degree of completion required for golden-level cuisine to shine.”

[Cooking of any level will be accepted and loved by the general public when the degree of completion reaches 60. The higher the degree of completion, the higher the level of cooking, the easier it is to be accepted. Gold-level cooking comes with a ‘delicious’ feature. , anyone can be captured. 】

After hearing this, Xie Yunfei was speechless, but his hands started to make dough. Sixi Shaomai with a completion degree of 75 points made in the afternoon seems to be very close to the 80 completion degree of the mission goal, but Xie Yunfei knows very well that if there is no accident, he will probably have to spend the next few days. Spend it in your kitchen at home.

This is indeed the case.

The first siu mai Xie Yunfei made was a little less complete than during the day because of the freshness of the ingredients.

“I thought it was a novice-level mission, but it turned out to be a hell-level dungeon that was caught by the devil just after leaving Novice Village?”

With such complaints in his mouth, Xie Yunfei fell into thinking. He didn’t have the idea of ​​running to Yuanyue naked, and he didn’t want to propose to the old lady next door.

To make Siji Shaomai complete to the task requirements, Xie Yunfei only had two options.

First, improve your culinary skills.Do your best in the process of kneading, kneading and making fillings.

Second, while maintaining the current degree of completion of siu mai, constantly improve the recipe and increase the degree of completion.

As recorded in the recipe, Xie Yunfei’s improvement did not achieve the real best results, and the word “incomplete version” was stamped before the golden ratio, obviously there is still room for improvement.

Then, how to improve?

The golden ratio of siu mai that Xie Yunfei knows is that the ratio of meat to other ingredients is constant at 8:5. In the afternoon, he also worked so hard to do so. Not to mention that every siu mai has reached this ratio, but there is not much difference .
