Chapter 236: Natural tongue feeling, magic mirror of food

Su Ming started his culinary learning career on the cruise ship.

Most octopus chefs are very enthusiastic and will teach their cooking skills with all their heart.

The cooking skills on this cruise ship have transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary. It is not just a cooking skill, but can be considered as some kind of extraordinary item-making skill.

The ingredients they use in their cooking are very special in themselves.

Even ordinary people, as long as they have sufficient skills and process the ingredients in the correct way, can create special dishes with various effects.

These dishes can stimulate the taste buds to a great extent and are rare delicacies that make diners feel satisfied and happy. In addition, they can also help diners improve their abilities in certain aspects.

This is also the reason why this cruise ship is quite popular and has a constant stream of diners.

Su Ming also tried to eat a lot of food, but found that the effects of these foods were minimal for him.

The explanation given by the octopus chefs is that it is a problem of physical fitness.

The dishes they prepare are suitable for local diners, but he is an outsider, so his physique is different from that of local diners.

If he wants the effect of food to work on himself, he needs to keep exploring and trying the food himself.

During the learning process, Su Ming discovered one of his specialties: his tongue was very sensitive and could distinguish very subtle differences in taste.

Octopus chefs envy his talent, saying that it is some kind of innate tongue feel, a skill that chefs dream of, and that people with this talent can easily become gourmets.

It was also the first time that Su Ming realized that he actually had potential in this area.

He has strong control over his body and can perform various operations very accurately.

Guided by his natural tongue sense, Su Ming was able to make timely adjustments and his cooking skills improved rapidly.

It was time for Captain Octopus’ regular inspection of the first month.

Captain Mr. Octopus came to the kitchen.

He asked, “Nine-five-two-seven, other chefs, how is the study of the miracle master going recently?”

Octopus 9527 reported Su Ming’s situation to Mr. Octopus: “He is very talented as a miracle master.”

“After a month of study, he was able to successfully cook up decent dishes.”

“Just because he only has two arms, he is far from being able to compare with us in terms of speed.”

The other octopus chefs also spoke up: “That’s right, the miracle chef actually has a natural tongue sense!”

“Also, his hands and feet are very flexible, no worse than our tentacles!”

“As expected, he is a talent that the captain personally found. This is what he does!”

“He’s a very talented man, but unfortunately, he’s not an octopus.”

“Captain, how about you try the golden fish roe and egg fried rice that the miracle chef has just made?”

……

“Oh? A natural tongue sense? That’s a really good talent.”

Mr. Octopus praised, and then followed suit, taking the bowl of egg fried rice that Su Ming had just cooked and started eating.

After trying a few bites, he nodded with satisfaction: “Not bad!”

“It only took one month to make fried rice of this quality, which is already a very good level.”

“You still have a long time. As long as you keep improving, you will definitely become an excellent chef!”

Su Ming said modestly: “It’s all thanks to the good teaching of all the octopus brothers!”

In fact, during this one month of study, he could clearly feel that his cooking skills were constantly improving.

And it continues to receive recognition from octopus chefs.

This feeling gave him a great sense of accomplishment, and he became more and more motivated as he worked harder.

It is a very happy thing to be able to continuously receive positive feedback.

During this process, Su Ming also gradually began to like cooking.

Things have begun to enter a positive cycle. The better you do something, the more recognition you will get. The more recognition you get, the more motivated you will be to do things better.

Maybe I do have some talent in cooking!
Of course, these compliments did not make him forget what he was here for.

His ultimate goal in coming here was not to gain the recognition of these octopus chefs.

Instead, he hopes to enhance his extraordinary abilities.

And obtain extraordinary dishes that can actually work on yourself and make you stronger.

If there is no way to achieve this most fundamental goal.

Even if these octopuses praised him to the sky and said that he was a culinary genius that was rarely seen in many years, it would not have much effect on him.

The recognition from these octopus chefs, and even Mr. Octopus, can at most make him more happy in the process.

His humble attitude, without any pride at all, made the octopus chefs nod secretly.

With this standard in mind, humans can face praise without becoming proud, and are able to control their own talents.

Mr. Octopus was also very satisfied with his attitude.

Encourage: “Come on! Keep up the good work!”

After saying that, he turned and left.

During this month, Su Ming hardly saw Mr. Octopus.

He decided to seize this opportunity and said, “Wait a moment, I got a prop through some means before.” “It can produce some delicious food every day. I wonder if Mr. Octopus and the other octopus chefs are interested in it?”

As he spoke, a round mirror appeared in Su Ming’s hand. The mirror was as big as a washbasin, and the frame and base were made of metal, carved with simple patterns and a sentence: Gourmet Magic Mirror, born for gourmet food, made of solid materials, fair to everyone, you get what you pay for!

Several lines of text appeared on the mirror.

【Food Magic Mirror Today’s Menu】

[1. Staff meal: 6 points. A meal that is enough to fill your stomach, and the taste is not bad.]

[2. Business meal: priced at 66 points. A very delicious meal, available for ordering.]

[3. VIP meal: Price: 666 points. A very delicious special meal with random buff effects. Only available once.]

[4. Gourmet Meal (Iced Black Tea Flavored Braised Beef Noodles): Price: 6666 points. After eating, you will feel refreshed and your ability to resist negative effects will be significantly enhanced. Only available once.]

The octopus chefs all looked at the mirror curiously.

“Can we really take out delicious food from here?”

“I’ve never heard of a mirror with this kind of effect. Is this some kind of special alchemical tool?”

“I don’t believe it! Unless you perform one live!”

“Try it now, let me open my eyes!”

Seeing that Mr. Octopus did not object, Su Ming nodded.

He directly spent 6 points and bought a staff meal.

This is a lunch box in a plastic box. The largest compartment contains a portion of rice, and the other four small compartments contain some side dishes, including tomato fried rice, sour cabbage, braised pork and four-happiness meatballs.

Although it looks cheap, it can still stimulate appetite.

If you buy this meal with cash, it would cost at most a dozen yuan.

But if you use six points, and convert it at the price of 10,000 yuan per point, that would be tens of thousands of yuan.

Moreover, he was about to spend more points to demonstrate the functions of this food magic mirror.

However, Su Ming is now very wealthy and has six-digit points in his account.

I don’t really care about these trivial things.

In a blink of an eye, he spent several 6 points in a row and paid for several employee meals.

I spent several more 66 points and paid for a few obviously much more exquisite business meals.

The business meal includes dumplings, beef noodles, crab roe noodles…

The most important thing is that they don’t use plastic boxes, but real porcelain bowls and plates.

This will instantly make it much more upscale.

I watched as various foods began to fill up around Su Ming.

The octopus chefs present also believed in the effect of these gourmet sunglasses.

They all exclaimed: “There really is a mirror that can take out food!”

“I never thought there would be an alchemist who would create this kind of alchemical equipment!”

“I’ve never seen this food before. Let me try it and see how it tastes…”

They already have octopus in there, rolled up with tentacles to taste in staff and business meals.

These foods that have never been seen before are quite attractive to these chefs.

It can inspire them to develop new dishes and expand the cruise ship menu.

After they ate it, they nodded and praised: “It tastes a bit special.”

“It looks pretty good.”

“Unfortunately, there is no special effect.”

“Maybe the ingredients used are more common.”

……

Su Ming: “Don’t worry, there are special effects later.”

He spent another 666 points to redeem a VIP meal.

Then, he saw something floating out of the mirror and his whole body went numb.

This turned out to be a plate of fried octopus!

Mini octopuses lay on the plate, covered with rich sauce and dotted with pieces of red and green peppers.

One look at it can’t help but whet your appetite.

The air around became quiet.

If this dish were served in a restaurant, Su Ming would start eating it immediately.

The problem now is that, except for him, the other cooks and captains here are quite similar to the octopus on the plate.

Damn it, the VIP meals at this Food Magic Mirror are random.

Surprisingly, at this time, a dish with octopus as its ingredient randomly appeared!
Su Ming looked at Captain Octopus and the Octopus Chefs and said carefully, “Well, I didn’t mean it.”

“You have to believe me! This dish appeared randomly! Everything is just a coincidence!”
