Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

At four o'clock the next morning, the sky was still gray, and Xu Ziqi woke up as usual.

After washing up as usual, he drove to the vegetable market.

"Brother Rong, has the stuff I ordered arrived?"

Walking to the familiar pork stall, Xu Ziqi asked the boss who was busy cutting meat.

The boss's name was Lin Shirong, and because he sold pork, he was called Pork Rong.

Hearing the voice, the pork stall owner also looked up, saw that it was Xu Ziqi, grinned, and replied: "It's here, shall I give it to you now?"

"Yes." Xu Ziqi nodded, "Give it to me now."

The boss turned around and took out a large transparent bag from the back, and handed it to Xu Ziqi.

Taking the bag, Xu Ziqi asked, "Have you processed everything?"

The boss smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's all processed. You can just take it back and do it directly."

"But do you have enough time?" The boss then asked, "It's four o'clock now. It will take at least seven o'clock to finish it."

"It's okay." Xu Ziqi nodded, "I can make it in time."

"That's fine."

The boss didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Ziqi also left the vegetable market.

Driving back to the food park, Xu Ziqi came to the kitchen and took out the things in the bag.

It was a suckling pig weighing about 6 pounds. It had been slaughtered and cleaned at this time and was lying flat on the chopping board.

Because he had to go back to sweep the tombs and worship his ancestors, Xu Ziqi ordered a suckling pig from the pork stall owner last night, and then roasted it in advance and took it back.

"It's just right to use this dish to try the skills given by the system."

Thinking so in his heart, Xu Ziqi took out the sauce he had prepared in advance and began to marinate it.

When his hand dipped in sauce touched the suckling pig, he clearly felt his brain send out an order, that is, to quickly pickle it.

And the pickling speed was surprisingly fast.

Although it was not as exaggerated as the afterimage, it was not much worse.

"Is this the skill given by the system?" Xu Ziqi was secretly surprised.

Even though he was very skilled in his usual techniques, he was not so fast.

After pickling, he took out the oven and charcoal.

The charcoal used was litchi charcoal, which belongs to fruit charcoal. The food baked with it has a light fruit wood fragrance.

Putting the charcoal in the oven, Xu Ziqi took out the blowgun and started to ignite it.

When the fire of the blowgun touched the litchi charcoal, Xu Ziqi could see that its black surface quickly turned gray and then red.

"Is lighting the charcoal also considered as part of the production process?"

Looking at the burning charcoal, Xu Ziqi asked the system.

He got a positive answer and was secretly shocked again.

Although this kind of charcoal ignites very quickly, it is not so fast.

Does this change the material structure of charcoal, causing ordinary combustibles to become flammable?

Xu Ziqi thought about it.

This possibility is not ruled out.

And if so, it is indeed a bit magical.

When the charcoal gave off steam in the oven, he raised the fork holding the suckling pig, put it on the top of the oven, and started to roast.

As time passed, the white suckling pig skin gradually darkened.

First it turned yellow, and soon it turned red.

Then the red color gradually deepened, and finally it turned into a bright red color like the sunset.

As the color of the suckling pig surface changed, its aroma gradually became stronger.

By the time the roasting was completed, the fragrance had filled the entire kitchen.

And all this took only a short hour.

With the help of the skills given by the system, the production time that originally required two hours was shortened by half.

While being amazed at the speed, Xu Ziqi stared at the roasted suckling pig.

The bright appearance was deep red, and under this red, there were drops of tempting juice falling.

And where the juice fell, that is, inside the roasted suckling pig, was the tempting meat that was burnt but not black and exuded a strong fragrance.

Xu Ziqi couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

This is too fragrant!

It is worthy of being a signature dish in Cantonese cuisine. Just looking at the appearance makes people salivate.

In fact, my family bought it for ancestor worship before.

Although those made in those stores are also delicious, they are far less tempting than those roasted by themselves.

And after the blessing of the system, the taste of this roasted suckling pig must be better than the one bought before.

Looking at this roasted suckling pig, Xu Ziqi swallowed his saliva again.

He is itching now. If he is not in a hurry to go back, he will definitely cut a piece to taste it first.

After wrapping up the roast suckling pig, Xu Ziqi locked the store door.

It was almost half past five now, and his parents should have woken up, so he had to go back quickly.
