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

After everyone left, Liu Xin stayed alone at the restaurant on the first floor.

"Collect the task reward first."

Liu Xin called out the task panel and received the reward for the completed task "The Eater with Tricky Taste".

"Ding, if you successfully claim the reward, you will get 600 points, and the host's prestige value will increase by 1000, and the current prestige value is 10150 (famous).

The prestige value has exceeded 10,000.

However, reputation points seem to be useless now.

Liu Xin didn't pay attention to the rewards he got, and checked the task that was triggered just now.

Challenge task: [cooking duel]

Difficulty: Four Stars

Task introduction: "Challenge master" Helimo launched a culinary showdown against the host, please use all your strength to defeat the host, defend the honor of the restaurant and your dignity as a cook~.

Completion reward: 1000 points-points, unlock new restaurant functions

Quests with four-star difficulty?

No wonder it was recognized as a "challenge task" by the system.

This also shows that Helimore is powerful.

Whether it's for the restaurant and his own honor, or for mission rewards, this battle can only be won and not lost.

"Ding, I have successfully consumed 500 points, and I am about to enter the 'God of Cooking Space', please prepare the host."

Without hesitation, Liu Xin chose to enter the God of Cooking space to prepare.

There is almost no passage of time in the God of Cooking space, and it can provide unlimited ingredients and kitchen utensils. Liu Xin can interview here until he is satisfied with the dishes.

The conversation was divided into two parts, and Hailimo left the "Chinese Restaurant", walked out of the old commercial street, stopped a gourmet taxi, and headed towards the place where he lived.

After getting in the car, Hailimo took out his mobile phone and put on his earphones.

Then, open the file.

Liu Xin, male, 24 years old.

The owner and chef of the "Chinese Restaurant" in the old commercial street.

Possess extraordinary culinary skills and management methods.

The restaurant has been opened for less than 2 months and has been recognized by G7 four-star.

At the same time, he is an excellent regenerator and a powerful food hunter, capturing and reliving rainbow fruits, BE corn and other ingredients.

Behind this detailed text introduction, there are photos and videos of Liu Xin.

The content of the video is Liu Xin showing the recipe of "Shanglong Dumplings" to diners for the first time.

After watching it for a few minutes, Hailimo put away the phone, the corners of his mouth raised.

He is full of confidence in his own strength, he has the actual combat experience of defeating 26 star chefs, and he also has a little-known special ability-the sense of food.

Sensation of food is similar to the ability of food favor and food luck. It can hear the call of ingredients, so as to select excellent ingredients and make the best dishes.

In the world of food prisoners, there are not a few chefs who can hear the voice of the ingredients, but those who have this ability are excellent cooks, and most of them are on the list of the top 100 cooks in the world.

"Hey, Chef Liu Xin, you will be the 27th chef I beat this time, and you will all be the stepping stones on my way to success!"

Confident and talented, Halimore is convinced that he can defeat his opponent.

Little did he know that his opponent this time was a traverser with a system.

Within the God of Cooking space.

"It's so spacious."

It was the first time for Liu Xin to enter the God of Cooking space. Compared with the hunter space where you can't see your fingers, the God of Cooking space is spacious and bright.

Within the huge space, there are several cooking stations.

There was nothing on the cooking table, but if Liu Xin wanted something, he would say a word in his heart, and the thing he wanted would appear immediately, no matter what it was.

Liu Xin was not in a hurry to try it out, but instead summoned the system mall and began to take the lead in the recipes to be used this time.

Noodle dishes, which can also be understood as pasta dishes, originated from Huaxia noodles and have a history of making and eating for about two thousand years.

This is a health food that is simple to make, convenient to eat, rich in nutrition, and can be used as a staple food or as a fast food. It has long been accepted and loved by people all over the world.

The main raw material is to use grain or bean flour and water to grind it into dough, and then either press or roll it into slices and then cut or press, or use methods such as rubbing, pulling, pinching, etc., to make strips or small pieces, and finally cook It is a kind of food made from fried, fried, stewed and fried.

In other words, there are many ways to cook noodles, not limited to one.

Biangbiang noodles, Chongqing small noodles, knife-sliced ​​noodles, Yangchun noodles, soy sauce noodles, Lanzhou ramen noodles, Qishan simmered noodles, etc. are more famous in China.

Beyond China, noodle dishes can be seen everywhere. In island countries, ramen, udon noodles, soba noodles, and wide-cut noodles are more famous.

Or spaghetti, curry noodles, etc., these are all noodle dishes.

It can be said that the subject of this question has a wide range, and there are many types of cooking that can be made, so you have to choose carefully what to do.

After entering the system mall and entering the keyword "noodle cuisine", a series of recipes appeared in the retina.

《Masai Fish Soup Ramen》

《Aizu Chicken Soy Sauce Ramen》

"Big Devil Ramen"

"Curry Noodles"

"Galaxy Side"

"Nine-story Pagoda"

"Shadowless Face"

Liu Xin finally locked his eyes on the last recipe --- "Shadowless Face".

Recipe: "Shadowless Face"

Main ingredients: flour, sweet potato flour

Accessories: oil, salt, shallots

Note*: The host has fully mastered the cooking method. The final taste of the cooking depends on the quality of the ingredients. The higher the quality of the main ingredients, the more delicious the cooking will be.

Recipe exchange price: 500

Except for a very few special recipes, the exchange price for most other recipes is 500.

After Liu Xin exchanged the recipes, he merged them.

The fused recipes were turned into information and entered Liu Xin's mind.

"The ingredients needed for Wuying Noodles are very simple, that is, two different flours. In the end, it became famous as thin as Wuying, so it was named 'Wuying'. Add sweet potato flour to the flour, knead it into a dough and soak it in water .”

"Because the sweet potato has low viscosity, the average cook will break the dough as soon as it is pulled out. Therefore, this dish requires amazing technology and concentration to pull the dough to a length of more than 2 meters. The noodles are stretched thin, and then With the addition of starch from sweet potatoes, the noodles are translucent. So thin but without losing the unique texture of noodles.”

"In other words, two conditions must be met in order for the noodles to achieve the 'shadowless' effect. First, the ratio of flour to sweet potato flour is 4:6. Second, the noodles must be pulled to a length of more than 2 meters."

After figuring out the production principle of Wuying Noodles, Liu Xin began to call for kitchen utensils and ingredients for trial production.

I don't know how long it has been...

Snapped.

The skin was pulled off again.

Liu Xin reluctantly put down the two steel rods in his hands.

"Failed again, I can't concentrate in the kitchen space, and I can't concentrate when it comes to the official competition. No, come again!"

He didn't know how many times he failed, and Liu Xin didn't quit the God of Cooking space until he was exhausted.

One minute outside is equal to dozens of hours in the space inside.

It was 20:35 before Liu Xin entered the Kitchen God space.

It is 20:40 now.

5 minutes, close to 60 hours.

I have been trying to do it repeatedly in the God of Cooking space, and this kind of mental exhaustion is far better than physical exhaustion.

"Brother Liu Xin, what's wrong with you?"

When Liu Xin came to the third floor, Pu Jin just walked out of the regeneration house and saw Liu Xin who was exhausted and hurried forward to care.

Liu Xin forced a smile on his face, and said: "Pujin, I'm fine, but my mental strength is exhausted, just let me sleep. You go to bed early, and I won't chat with you tonight..."

After speaking, Liu Xin returned to his room and fell asleep.

After a night of rest, Liu Xin also recovered.

I got up at 6 o'clock and ate a lot of ingredients to replenish my strength.

Afterwards, Liu Xin spent 500 points to enter the MasterChef space again.

Learning from the experience of yesterday's failure, Liu Xin concentrated on challenging Wuyingmian again.

After working hard for more than ten hours in the Kitchen God space, Liu Xin finally succeeded.

The dough was successfully pulled to a length of 2 meters, meeting the basic requirement of no head-on.

However, this level is not enough to defeat a chef like Halimore.

According to the production method of the original recipe, the finished Wuying noodles only have soup and noodles and chopped green onion for flavoring, and there is nothing else.

But a real noodle dish should satisfy three things: soup, side dishes, and noodles themselves.

So strictly speaking, Wuying noodles are not really noodle dishes, lacking side dishes.

The direction of improvement is very clear, adding side dishes.

However, what to add to the side dish needs to be well thought out and tried.

After staying in God of Cooking space for more than ten hours, Liu Xin quit feeling a little tired.

Kitchen God Space is a good place, but every time you enter, you get 500 points, which is very painful.

When the time came to 8:40, the number of pedestrians on the old commercial street gradually increased, and most of them were commuters.

Outside the gate of the Chinese restaurant, diners lined up to buy breakfast in an orderly manner.

"Chef Zhongmei, Chef Liu Xin will have a culinary showdown with the 'Challenge Master' tonight, is it true?"

"Challenge master? I remember being one of the top 100 cooks in the world!"

"What time is the cooking showdown?"

Several diners took advantage of the time to buy breakfast to ask Zhongmei and Tie Zhu about the culinary duel.

Zhongmei and Tie Zhu didn't know about it until this morning, and they were surprised when they learned about it.

"Ah, yes...it's true, but I don't know how it happened." Zhongmei said honestly.

All morning, the diners were talking about it.

Near noon, Tianhua Restaurant was almost full.

Almost every diner who comes to dine will ask about the culinary showdown.

Liu Xin was also very helpless, but also very puzzled. The cooking showdown happened last night, and there were only a few people who knew about it.

In less than a day, everyone knows it.

0. Ask for flowers...

Who leaked the news?

At 12:10, Lily Naphthalene and several close colleagues walked into the restaurant.

Since the expansion of the restaurant, every time Lily Nail comes to dine, she will reserve the VIP room on the second floor in advance.

Today, she is wearing a slim female suit jacket, black high-heeled shoes and pencil pants, outlining her figure, exuding the charm of a working woman all over her body, and wearing a simple but elegant ring on her slender finger, which makes people feel Can feel her unique taste of life.

Today's Lily Naphthalene is as charming as ever.

Lily naphthalene stepped forward immediately after seeing Liu Xin.

"Chef Liu Xin, is it true that you are going to have a culinary duel with others tonight?" Lily asked curiously.

Liu Xin shook his head helplessly: "Oh, even Sister Lily knows?"

Bai Hena couldn't help but smiled: "This matter has caused a lot of noise in the commercial street, and it's hard not to know. I heard that if you lose, you will be out of business for half a year?"

"Well, but if I win that guy, he will work in my restaurant for half a year, and the chef who is one of the top 100 chefs in the world will work for me. It's very popular." Liu Xin

also laughed.

"Closing business for half a year is no small matter, and the 'four-star' rating that is easy to get will be cancelled, so don't be careless." Lily naphthalene reminded sternly.

Of course Liu Xin also knew this, and said to himself: "Don't worry, Sister Lily, I have prepared well, and I will never lose this culinary skill showdown. Alright, let's have dinner upstairs, the cooking is ready."

It has been prepared for you in advance. "

Seeing what Liu Xin said, Lily didn't ask any more questions, and went to the VIP room on the second floor with a few colleagues.

..........0

15:20 p.m.

Every day at this point is the time when the passenger flow is the least, Liu Xin will also take this opportunity to take a break.

In the backyard of the restaurant, Liu Xin and Pu Jin were teasing the golden-haired monkey.

"Chichi!"

Xiaoling is very happy, in its eyes Liu Xin is the master, and Pu Jin is the mistress.

Just as the two were teasing the golden-haired monkey and enjoying the romantic mood, Junjun came to the backyard a little anxiously.

"Chef Liu Xin, suddenly a lot of people came outside the restaurant, including reporters from the TV station."

Liu Xin, Pu Jin, and Nanako came to the dining room together from the backyard, and found that there was a sea of ​​people at the gate.

Among them is a female anchor in pink clothes, holding a camera and shooting inside the restaurant.

Liu Xin frowned suddenly, and then forcibly blocked everyone from the door.

"Everyone, the restaurant is still open, I will be very troubled if you do this." Liu Xinzhan said to everyone at the gate.

"Chef Liu Xin, we are all your fans. We heard that you are going to have a culinary showdown, so let's cheer for you!"

"Yeah, yeah. Chef Liu Xin, please let us watch the game. We took a 3-hour gourmet bus to get here."

Several people in the crowd said this loudly.

Liu Xin could only helplessly explain: "Everyone, the restaurant is only so big, it is impossible to accommodate so many people, and this culinary showdown was not planned to be made public.

At this time, the female anchor in a pink OL uniform stepped forward and said to Liu Xin: "Chef Liu Xin, everyone just wants to witness a wonderful cooking showdown, and there is no malice. And

Everyone in the food city knows about the culinary duel between you and the "Challenge Master", and there are more people on their way here. Even if you don't make it public, everyone

Still can't help being curious and enter the restaurant, which will cause you trouble in the end. "

"So, I suggest that you choose the place for the competition in the square of the old commercial street. That place is spacious enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and there are also ready-made cooking stations. In this way, you

You can let go of your hands and feet to display your cooking skills, and everyone can see wonderful duels, killing two birds with one stone.

When these words were spoken, everyone immediately echoed them.

At the entrance of the old commercial street, there is a huge food court where many activities are held on weekdays.

"Miss Tina is right, I implore Chef Liu Xin to set the venue for the duel in the square!"

"Chef Liu Xin, we all want to see your culinary skills, please."

Tina?

No wonder it looks so "familiar", it turned out to be the follower female anchor from the anime.

Afterwards, Liu Xin agreed to everyone's request after some thought.

As a result, this culinary skill showdown became public, and the place was in the square of the old commercial street.

After the announcement, the diners no longer gathered at the entrance of the restaurant, but turned around and flocked towards the entrance of the commercial street.

After the diners left, food anchor Tina came to Liu Xin with a microphone in hand.

"Chef Liu Xin, can I hold you for 2 minutes to interview you?"

"Sorry, no time."

After Liu Xin finished speaking, he turned and walked into the restaurant.

Walking into the restaurant, Liu Xin asked Nanako Wada to close the restaurant door and close early.

Although it is less than 4 o'clock now, it is still necessary to prepare in advance.

(to be continued... again).
