Fang Tang's idea was simple and reasonable. As is said, able people should do more work. Now that the Faith in Food score contribution from this alien cat is 1,000 times as much as mankind, it's better to feed it as much as possible.
And fatso Liu happened to send him some fresh materials today, so Fang Tang can get his cooking capabilities fully shown.
"There is a crosstalk practice show I used to listen to as a child, it's called Name the Dishes." Fang Tang put all the cooking materials on the kitchen counter in order and honed the knife. "I have worked very hard practicing it, then performed it in my class meeting and won an award."
"There are steamed lambs, steamed bear paws, braised duck, braised spring chicken, braise green goose, stewed pork, stewed duck, stewed chicken, smoked pork, pig bladder wrapped meat ball…" Fang Tang practiced this crosstalk as he was orderly processing these cooking materials.
He realized that he could still remember all the content clearly even though so many years had passed. His brain memory now is like a computer hard disk, he could randomly extract any part of his memory of the past.
"With this photographic memory, I shall take part in the Super Brain show." Fang Tang thought.
It's not only about the previous memory that is clearly stored in his head, his brain can also use the knowledge and skill he has mastered to analyze the things he is doing and offer him the best option.
For example, looking at the cooking materials on the kitchen counter, his head would start permutation and combination, plan dishes, and make a conclusion about how to optimize the use of existing materials and make various fancy dishes.
"Cut the black carp into segments, make a chopped chili pepper fish head, a spiced smoked fish with its fish body, and a tofu fish soup with its tail. As to this pig's back leg meat, it should be made into twice-cooked pork…" all the possible dishes were flowing in Fang Tang's mind.
Even though Fang Tang was doing this all alone, like things were functioned through multithreading operation system, he washed, cut, marinated, boiled, fried, steamed and roasted these materials orderly without wasting any time and anything. All these delicious and fancy dishes are just like a piece of cake to Fang Tang.
"In the crosstalk Name the Dishes, there are 248 dishes. But I can't cook based on that recipe because we don't have that many equipment. It's not me flattering myself, I am skilled at the eight major Chinese cuisines as well as western cuisines. If you give me a whole pig, I can cook it in a hundred different ways."
As Fang Tang was cooking, he also talked about the special cooking skills of this dish and the legendary story behind it, because Chinese cuisines are not only for taste and enjoyment, it is also important to know the anecdotes they have. Food and culture shall not be separated.
"Your world is really strange, why do you have to make a simple food so complex?!" the alien cat almost fell asleep while listening to him.
"Don't you know that food is the stall of life? Since the moment we were born, three meals a day has been our routine. Besides, having delicacy can also please us. Why shouldn't we spend time studying it?" answered Fang Tang.
"Food is the stall of life? It must come out of a great king." the cat said.
"From a king? Ha, this was said to the king helping him understand that hunger breeds discontent. Only when people get enough food can the country be in peace, and when they are pleased with their food, the king shall be free of worries. So, food plays a very important role. If a country can't even ensure their people have enough food, then this country must be in trouble." Fang Tang explained.
Don't know why, his explanation brought Shariel into silence. But Fang Tang's focus was on cooking, so he didn't notice that.
Cold dishes, hot dishes, different soups, cakes, steamed dishes, deep-fried dishes, shallow-fried dishes, boiled dishes, bitter flavor dishes, spicy dishes, sweet dishes, salty dishes and light flavor dishes, all these foods were cooked one after another. Each time he finished a dish, Fang Tang could feel that his understanding towards cooking got deeper.
In the past, each time he cooked, he focused on nothing but the dish he was going to cook. It might be the auxiliary system that is helping him now, all the technical problems, such as cutting techniques, temperature control, heating time, ingredients supply, are not a big deal any more. All the cooking skills, cuisine knowledge as well as nutrition knowledge he has learnt before are now clearly showing in his head and helping him while he is cooking.
So, now he has more time to think about new questions, such as what is really delicious. Each time he served a dish to Shariel, he would ask for her opinion and the differences compared with the last one. He would also ask Shariel about her preference toward food color and look.
Based on her answers, Fang Tang created a Shariel recipe model in his godhood system, so that the dish could be closer to her supreme feeling toward delicacies.
And Fang Tang could know her feeling about his food from the Faith in Food score he got.
[+1010…+1050…+1130…] but the Faith in Food points didn't keep rising. In the beginning, this score was high, and then it declined because when Shariel was used to the similar food, she wouldn't have the surprise and touching feeling like before. But later, the score started rising steadily again. In the end, each dish could contribute about 2,000 Faith in Food points.
When it finished the last fresh milk pudding, there was a strong golden ray bursting out of the body of this alien cat. Fang Tang's godhood system told him this means divine power overflow.
"Meow, that's really tasty! The more I eat, the more delicious they are. I don't even want to go home now." said the cat with satisfaction. Fang Tang just realized that as long as this alien cat was happy, everything it said would end up with the word 'meow'.
"What! You don't want to leave now?!" shouted Fang Tang. He spent over 5 hours making these 64 dishes. Now he was so exhausted that he directly sat on the floor just to have a rest. Unexpectedly, Shariel said that she didn't want to leave because of his food.
"Meow, I'm not serious. Just telling you my appreciation of your food. I will definitely go home. As to these left ones, I will pack them and take back for Lady Selune, Our Lady of Silver." as she answered Fang Tang, she waved her tail, and all the left food disappeared.
Then she started muttering some spells that were unknown to Fang Tang. After that, she reached out her cat paw and waved it, a door of light was opened without foundation.
"Ok, I'm going home now. My dear people, see you! Nope, we may not see each other again. This God Abandoned Field is so boring, there are no magic in this plane." Shariel waved her tail to say goodbye and then leaped into the door of light easily.
"Finally!" Fang Tang breathed a sigh of relief. He feels quite relaxed now. It's like there was a UFO in his house, but he survived.
Even though this cat never intended to harm Fang Tang, he still felt greatly pressured to have a cat that can speak human language and to have some supernatural changes in his body. That's also why he worked so hard to make these 64 dishes. All of a sudden, there was a soliloquy of the cat coming out of the door of light: "Well, what if I can never eat such delicious food..."
As its voice gets weaker, here comes a strong suction from that door.
"Why! What happened?" Fang was suddenly sucked up by the suction of door of light while he was still sitting on the floor.
[Chosen people can't reject the summon of your goddess.] godhood system reported the fact.
"What the hell! Isn't there a way to reject? I don't want to stay in an alien world, I want to stay on Earth!" Fang Tang asked with fear and anger.
[No, no way to reject it. But you can block this, so do you want to block her perception toward you?] asked about the godhood system.
"Sure, block her now!" shouted Fang Tang. But he was already sucked into the door of light before he finished his words.
