"Cooking Qinjiang Vegetable recipe learned successfully!"
The recipe from the inventory turned into broken streams of light that drilled into his head, and Xia Yu immediately memorized the key points of the recipe.
According to the original plot of Cooking Master Boy, "Cooking Qinjiang Vegetable" was the dish that appeared in the third episode. Master Boy, upon Admiral Li's order, went to Guangzhou to gain cooking experience and had to obtain a special chef's certification before returning to Sichuan.
Master Jidi, the head chef of Yangquan Restaurant, gave Master Boy his first challenge, which was to cook Qinjiang Vegetable.
Qinjiang Vegetable is actually just bok choy.
This dish has two key points. First, before actual cooking, how to blanch it to maintain the vegetable's fresh and bright color. This is the 'color' process.
Second, how to remove the earthy smell from the Qinjiang Vegetable.
Later, Master Boy's approach was to combine the blanching and removal of the earthy smell. In boiling water, he added a concocted chicken oil, then put the Qinjiang Vegetable into the boiling water, covering the vegetable's surface with a layer of oil while washing off the earthy taste, returning it to its original fresh flavor.
Afterward, the drained Qinjiang Vegetable was tossed into a wok to continue stir-frying with chicken oil, further removing the earthy smell.
The recipe stopped here.
However, before plating and serving, this vegetarian dish still needed seasoning, which depended on the chef's personal touch.
For example, seasoning the stir-fried Qinjiang Vegetable with oyster sauce to make it into a Cantonese flavor.
Xia Yu couldn't wait to try it.
"Cooking Qinjiang Vegetable" could be tailored to many variations according to the customer's taste. Once he fully mastered this recipe, he would hold a versatile trump card, the thought of it was exciting!
Just as he returned to the store, Mu Xiaoyue, who had worked hard all night, impatiently said, "Where's the reward? No reward means I'll go on strike tomorrow!"
"Just wait, whatever dish comes up next, you'll definitely be satisfied with it."
Xia Yu walked into the kitchen, actually connecting to the God of Cooking Space.
There were still several hours of usage time, which could be exchanged for several days. However, with unlimited ingredient supply from the God of Cooking Space, Xia Yu had confidence in yielding results within a day.
Recalling the recent arduous research on "Magic Mapo Tofu," Xia Yu couldn't help but be tearful.
For crying out loud, why wasn't there any Fame Points back then?
If he had enough Fame Points, a day in the real world would equal over twenty days in the God of Cooking Space, and even if he were dull, lacking culinary talent, he could have fully understood a blue recipe.
...
The next day.
Xia Yu was awakened by Mu Xiaoyue's energetic call.
He could only rub his messy hair and open the door for Mu Xiaoyue.
"It's just eight o'clock, aren't you guys going to tour Tokyo today?" Xia Yu was speechless.
"Not going anymore!"
Mu Xiaoyue confidently waved her hand, staring at him with burning eyes, "I want to taste the third glowing dish you cook before going back to the country!"
"Wasn't last night's oyster sauce stir-fried Qinjiang Vegetable enough?"
"Human desires are endless!"
"So is appetite!"
Mu Xiaoyue huffed.
Xia Yu didn't waste words with her and pointed at the uncleaned store after last night's business. "Well, if you want to eat, give me a good cleaning, wipe the tables and chairs spotless. The outside of the store needs cleaning as well."
"No problem!" Mu Xiaoyue pulled An Ya to work together.
Returning to the upstairs bathroom, washing up in front of the mirror, Xia Yu inwardly asked, "System, do you have last night's business data?"
"Your restaurant received 33 guests during the business hours from 6 PM to midnight yesterday, with an average spending of 7,000 yen per person. The total revenue amounted to 231,000 yen."
Gulp.
Spitting out the foam from his mouth, Xia Yu's eyes showed satisfaction.
A night's revenue of 200,000 yen immediately recouped his costs spent at the IGO Ingredient Street.
The God of Cooking System was undoubtedly a thoughtful secretary. While washing up, Xia Yu asked other questions.
"Why did the small shop suddenly become so popular?"
"Host, please check the Fame earnings from the past two days." The system sold a mystery and didn't answer directly.
Hmm?
Casually summoning the personal panel, his sight moved to the Fame Points section, leaving Xia Yu stunned.
In the mirror, his mouth was wide open.
"Fame: 2330 (This item is related to the host's reputation, exposure, achievements, and Fame Points can be used to purchase items in the system shop.)"
What the heck happened?!
Xia Yu was shocked, checking the system log.
"The restaurant gained publicity on forums, Weibo, and other online public platforms, making more people aware of the small dining place and your existence, Fame Points +10."
Xia Yu received 21 of such system messages after Mu Xiaoyue wrote food travelogues.
Those 210 Fame Points sustained the Fame consumption of the God of Cooking Space in these two days.
And now, pulling the system message bar to the bottom, Xia Yu couldn't calculate how many of such records there were.
Moreover, just in this little moment of distraction, ding, a new system log appeared as dark green text floating on his retina.
Fame Points continued +10!
2340 Fame Points!
"Still increasing?"
Quickly spitting out the toothpaste foam, rinsing his mouth, wiping his face, Xia Yu dashed back to the bedroom and turned on the computer.
Mu Xiaoyue's gourmet Weibo looked the same.
The food travelogues she sent a couple of days back hadn't shown explosive growth in retweets and replies.
So Xia Yu was puzzled.
Where did these Fame Points come from?
Xia Yu hadn't yet realized that his small store had hosted two living anime characters last night.
Since the store didn't open during the day and the cleaning chores were covered by two young ladies, Xia Yu was relaxed and had ample time to search for answers online.
Soon, he found the source.
One was a well-known singer 'Tianfeng' on the NicoNico video bullet screen website. This guy's Twitter, apart from the initial criticism, was full of lavish praise in subsequent tweets. Reading them one by one made Xia Yu blush and his heart race. Was it that exaggerated?
"...Tokyo's heavy rain, at this time... also having a girlfriend who is a Chinese girl... oh no, could it be that Shibuya Style guy?"
Xia Yu suddenly thought of the couple diners he served the previous night, his mouth twitched.
"I see, artists dress so flamboyantly?" Xia Yu found it a bit hard to accept that kind of host-like style.
"Were they here last night too?"
Seeing the new tweet showing food pictures and tasting notes, Xia Yu smiled, "Looks like I'll have to waive the bill for this couple next time."
Just as he was about to close Twitter, he inadvertently caught a reply:
"Mr. Tianfeng, are you and TAKI-kun and Teacher Bai Muying good friends?"
Another fan replied below, "Obviously, they must be good friends. All three of them promoted such a Chinese restaurant in the ACG field within two days. I plan to check it out after work to see if it's really that surprising."
Who is TAKI-kun.
Hmm, Teacher Bai Muying...
Sounds familiar!
Xia Yu rubbed his brows, realizing things were getting out of hand.
Besides Shuigu Jun, two other ACG celebrities had also visited his small store unexpectedly!
