Eternal food paradise

What, dark souls?

If Yan Xian said this in front of Xia Yan when making thousand-layer cake, he would definitely get a confused face.

As for his soul, why don't you say that his heart is also black, just a 'heart of darkness'.

He might answer Yan Xian like this: "I also want to be a normal cook, but my strength doesn't allow it!"

Xia Yan didn't know this, nor did he know that Yan Xian had put him and Shao'an together and regarded him as an outstanding youngster of the younger generation in Shu.

In fact, the senses are still biased towards him, thinking that he is more worthy of the effort to carve the rough jade. For this reason, he even traveled a long way to send a secret consultation letter to Yakan, the explosive chef in Liangshanbo.

"Fried gluten?"

Picking up a piece of gluten, Xia Yan looked at it carefully.

It's intertwined and twisted, a bit like deep-fried twists. It doesn't need to be wrapped with paper towels or anything, and it doesn't feel greasy at all on your fingers.

This reminded him of those high-end tempuras.

The more you are a tempura master, the more you pay attention to "grease residue". You must present refreshing food to your guests without giving them a greasy and sloppy feeling!

Yan Xian's seemingly relaxed and carefree cooking turns out to be full of details.

Or rather, details have become instinctive. Otherwise, how can cooking that is not attentive enough or perfect enough "shine"?

"Let's eat and see."

Xia Yan took a bite.

With a "click" sound, the gluten broke into pieces.

He originally thought it was a very dry, popular snack with no content, but who knew that the first bite would overturn his thoughts.

Gluten is essentially wheat protein powder.

Such high-protein snacks can be called "vegetarian meat".

In a daze, the crisp sound of teeth breaking seemed to make Xia Yan's whole head buzz in response. His soul suddenly left his body and went straight to the fairy palace in the sky. He saw a white jade dragon leisurely walking above the palace. The earth coiled around his body, and the huge, majestic, and elegant dragon head reached straight down.

It seemed like one person and one dragon were staring at each other at such a close distance.

Xia Yan was filled with shock.

"So true!"

When he came back to his senses, he found that his body and mind were light and airy. The moment he ascended to immortality just now, it seemed that it was not a hallucination or delusion.

His teeth clicked as he chewed the gluten in his mouth.

The more carefully he tasted it, the more he felt a free and open-minded artistic conception, which was imprinted on his emotions at this time, and Xia Yan was inevitably affected.

It was as if he saw himself holding a sword and singing loudly, walking around the world like an immortal.

"This is probably what a special [trait] is, right?" Xia Yan looked at his own mind quietly, like a senior monk.

It can be said that this first bite has transcended the original appetite. The food is not only used to satisfy hunger, but also to baptize the soul and achieve the highest spiritual enjoyment.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan's face gradually became strange.

Yan Xian’s ‘fried gluten’ is not the style of the dark cuisine world, right?

And if he is promoted to a special level one day and creates his own special dark recipe, then his painting style will be...

Not just from the level of physical senses such as taste.

He also wants to severely beat the customers who taste his food from the heart and spirit?

Damn, is the customer shaking like this?

Xia Yan had great and serious doubts about his future.

"Fortunately, I finally didn't have a conflict with Yan Xian. Otherwise, a dish or a recipe he randomly brought out, such as this 'Yulong Gluten', would have blown away all my dishes with the first bite. There’s not even a scum left.”

He knew very well that with his cooking skills that were not even at the special level, he was really as insignificant as a crawler in front of the tall and tall Yan Xian.

…

Early the next morning, after rarely getting enough sleep for 8 hours, Chen Zhiyuan set the alarm clock and went online early.

As soon as his body turned from a shadow to a solid body in the store, his nose smelled the rich smell of grease that filled the store, and his ears also heard the sound of "sizzling".

Ah, is Manager Xia here?

Chen Zhiyuan suddenly became energetic, walked to the side of the bar, cast his eyes towards the stove, and was stunned.

"Shua——"

Manager Xia, who had his back to the bar, shook his chopsticks, and the 'gluten' wrapped around the chopsticks sank to the bottom of the boiling oil pan.

Soon, the pair of chopsticks reached into the oil pan and picked up a fried snack dyed golden yellow.

Damn it!

Chen Zhiyuan thought he was still asleep in bed, so he wiped his eyes vigorously, and then he was convinced that he had seen it correctly.

Manager Xia is imitating the recipe of Yan Xian, the ‘Five Tiger Star’!

To be precise, I am trying to copy it!

This made Chen Zhiyuan feel confused. Although there was no hot cooking showdown last night, it was obvious that the moment Yan Xian's fried gluten shone, it was clear who was stronger in cooking between the two.

"Not proficient enough..." He seemed to hear Manager Xia turning his back to him, shaking his head and talking to himself.

Then, Xia Yan turned around, placed a plate of freshly cooked fried gluten on the bar, and waved to Chen Zhiyuan: "Come here, give me a taste."

Chen Zhiyuan, who was still thinking of thousands of alpacas running around in his heart a second ago, immediately picked up the chopsticks with a bang.

Just the first bite, "click".

Chen Zhiyuan's expression suddenly became strange. It wasn't a reaction to the bad taste, but rather a look like he had swallowed something raw and was stuck in his throat. His face was covered in purple.

For a moment, gasping for air, Chen Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and he was shocked when he saw the half of gluten on the chopsticks and said, "Is this really a replica?"

Xia Yan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about your taste experience."

"He just swallowed a dragon!"

"ha?"

Chen Zhiyuan continued to eat another piece of gluten, almost dancing with excitement and shouting: "Awesome, so awesome!"

"It turns out that Yan Xian's cuisine is like this. Manager Xia, you can imitate the deliciousness of luminous cuisine. The indescribable artistic conception makes me seriously think that you are the owner of [super vision]!"

"Only the 'Blue-Eyed Tiger' Mira, a female chef with mirror-like copying and learning abilities, can...restore a high-end dish like this!"

Players really dare to say anything. Xia Yan shrugged secretly. Sorry, he is just a fake 'Eye of Myra'.

As for the dishes, the system score is 40. You can imagine how low the completion level is.

However, judging from Chen Zhiyuan's reaction, Xia Yan didn't need to click on his panel to know that this guy had gained a lot of benefits from the [Tasting Project] that he regarded as a waste of practice. At least a large amount of character experience points had been gained.

"This hand has a new "must kill", and you need to practice harder. If you don't pass 60 points, you will be embarrassed to use it to entertain the locals in the paradise. "

Just as he was turning around to continue practicing, the system suddenly popped up a prompt:

[World deviation value (Chinese Ichiban) +2%. 】

A pause in his steps.

Xia Yan himself was shocked.

His eyes passed over the exercises on the bar, and when he thought of Yan Xian showing off his cooking skills, he was secretly happy: "Could it be that Yan Xian showed off his skills for the first time and that the entire original world line was wrong?"

However.

And inexplicably thinking of Yan Xian's meaningful look before he left, Xia Yan shivered.

I'm going, but don't stare at me.
