The beginning is only when you become a chef
Chapter 197 Perfect Cat Meal!
Chapter 197 Perfect Cat Meal! (4K)
The Cat Island Food Festival kicked off at six in the evening, and half an hour had already passed.
Just then, the aroma of food finally wafted from Xia An’s food stall.
A hundred meters away from Xia An’s stall.
Sun Yun stood here wearing sunglasses, and coming with her were two pseudo-Lins belonging to [Neo Food Utopia].
Not long ago, the two had set up a stall nearby, entertaining both cat and human customers, and the atmosphere was very lively.
“In just half an hour, you’ve earned dozens of ‘Cat God Coins’?”
Sun Yun is well aware of the sales at the Flynn and Yara stalls.
It can be said that Utopia attached great importance to the coordinates of Cat Island this time, and even sent her, a pseudo-dragon chef and minister-level senior official, to supervise the battle.
Behind Sun Yun, the Utopia operator who was in charge of statistics and reporting was still not satisfied and said:
“If it weren’t for the ban on Cat Island, which strictly prohibits revealing the culinary skills of stall owners, customers would have to find and explore the food on their own.”
“Let’s hang the rank and title signs of the two masters, Flynn and Yara, on the stall.”
“That business will surely explode ten or a hundred times more!”
Sun Yun hummed softly, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes behind his sunglasses.
Those who violate the ban will be eliminated and lose their place in the quota.
In the previous two Cat Island Festivals, there were people who tried to take shortcuts or exploit loopholes, but Cat Island seemed to have eyes in the sky, and no tricks could escape the gaze of the “Lord Cat God”.
Suddenly, a trace of loneliness appeared on Sun Yun’s face.
She thought of her extremely talented sixth sister.
In fact, the Sun family had already obtained information about Cat Island and the coordinates of this place.
Sixth sister Sun Ning was the winner of the first Cat Island Festival.
……
This is the Shenzhou Group.
The supervisor is different in age from Sun Yun. He is the white-haired, well-known state banquet master, old man from the Lu family.
Meng Yulu took on the role of statistician.
“Mr. Lu, Chef Li Ru and Chef Wang Chenghong’s food stalls are doing quite well.” Meng Yulu reported.
The old man of the Lu family nodded slightly and said, “The food festival will only last for three days. We have to compete fiercely every day and try our best to win every ‘Cat God Coin’ from the customers.”
“I have repeatedly warned them not to be careless.”
After a short pause, curiosity emerged on the face of the old man from the Lu family, “Xiao Lu, do you really not know what recipe Boss Xia prepared?”
Meng Yulu responded helplessly: “He is always mysterious, always able to come up with unexpected recipes, and his on-the-spot performance is always beyond his culinary level.”
The old man of the Lu family stepped forward:
“Let’s go!”
“What you said makes me itchy. I want to see what secret weapon Boss Xia has prepared.”
……
At this moment, at the Cat Island Pier area, a ferry has just docked.
Two men from another secret organization, the Gourmet Club, were transporting food with a cart.
Afterwards, the two of them leisurely registered their stall owner information at the shrine, but because they arrived late, the stall was arranged at the very edge of the “cross street”.
“Minister, with your help this time, we will definitely be able to get this position smoothly.”
One of them, a man in a suit and tie, who looked like one of his subordinates, was helping to set up the stall while fawning on him.
“It’s actually this guy?”
At the same time, on the nearby hillside, a blond foreign man was observing the newly arrived stall owner through a telescope.
There were several people standing behind the blond man.
Among them, there are several who would be recognized as familiar faces if Xia An, Dojima Gin, Meng Yulu and others were present.
They were the American delegation that participated in the competition at Takeshi Higashino’s villa.
There is Jacob King who is ranked 58th on the igo super chef list.
No. 70 is an Indian female chef.
There is also a sick man who looks like Mexican at the bottom of the list.
The blond man observed for a while, put down the telescope, turned around and glanced at the curious people, and said lightly: “It’s Dr. K from the [Gourmet Club].”
“It’s him?”
This group of top American chefs all looked surprised.
The official food associations of various countries have never stopped infiltrating secret organizations such as the “Food Club” and “Neo Food Utopia”. Among them, the United States has the strongest penetration and has long collected quite detailed information on the structure, senior personnel and other information of these so-called secret organizations.
【Food Club】 consists of six major branches, namely the Combat Department, Intelligence Department, Development Department, Supply Department, Materials Department, and Allocation Department…
This person, code-named Dr. K, is the director of the “Food Development Department”.
Intelligence shows that Dr. K has an extreme and crazy personality. The ingredients he develops and the life menu he creates all have a strong “dark cuisine” style.
But no matter what, since he can sit in a high position as an executive, Dr. K’s cooking skills are naturally beyond doubt.
Jacob King and others discussed it.
“I never expected that the executives of the Gourmet Club would personally come to the scene.”
“It’s no surprise that the new coordinates represent an unexplored area of the culinary world.”
“That’s right. For these crazy researchers, the unknown is the most fatal attraction!”
Hearing this, the blond man still looked calm and composed, as if he didn’t care much about the coordinates and the undeveloped food area.
Jacob King observed his expression and asked:
“Chef Norris, why didn’t you plan to participate in this Cat Island Festival from the beginning? You are a fake Lin, and you are not far from being a real Lin.”
The blond man glanced at everyone with a smile and said:
“If I hadn’t happened to be back on Blue Star for vacation, no fake or real Lin from the United States would have come to this island.”
Jacob King and others looked at each other in surprise, and inexplicably remembered a rumor.
In the past year, as the fake and real unicorns have almost disappeared in their homeland, the American President has become increasingly undisguised in his desire for Greenland, and related news has become known to the world.
“Could it be that……”
Combined with the collective disappearance of the senior chefs, Jacob King was shocked and suddenly thought of a possibility.
“Just as you thought.”
The blond man named Norris smiled and said, “A new coordinate point has been discovered in Greenland, and America has almost put all its efforts into developing it. This coordinate point connects to the ice field of the food industry, or a huge ice land. Tsk tsk, you may find it hard to imagine how many new species and new ingredients that have not been entered into the igo atlas library have been discovered by American chefs on that ice field…”
hiss!
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp. No wonder they didn’t take the Cat Island coordinate point seriously.
Now, knowing the truth, Jacob King and others widened their eyes, breathing rapidly, with a fiery look in their eyes.
at this time–
There was a sudden commotion at the food festival at the cross street at the foot of the mountain.
“What happened at the festival?”
Norris immediately raised his telescope and observed the source of the commotion below.
Soon, his eyes fell on a stall surrounded by customers. A very surprised expression appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself:
“Why are these cat and human diners rushing towards that stall like crazy?”
……
“It’s crazy, these cats, these people are crazy.”
When the old man from the Lu family and Meng Yulu arrived near Xia An’s stall, they were stunned by the scene before them.
Ahead was an impenetrable wall of people, with almost no room for people to stand.
Countless cats seemed to be gathering rapidly from all directions of the island.
There was no path on the ground, so the cats jumped onto the shoulders or heads of the crowd and leaped over the wall of people.
Behind the stall.
As the winner of the second Cat Island Festival, Higashino Tsuyoshi was just a leisurely spectator, with his maid Kumiko serving him. He could drink tea or coffee when he wanted.
Perhaps, the only thing that Dong Ye Gang cares about is whether Xia An, whom he is optimistic about, can successfully win the quota.
Higashino Tsuyoshi’s originally relaxed expression of eating melon has turned into confusion.
Ah? ?
Subway, old man, mobile phone.jpg
Why…
In less than ten minutes…
The Xia’an Food Festival stall in his sight was surrounded by people and cats?
on the other side.
At the outdoor seating area of the cat cafe, Granny Sun half-closed her eyes and said, “Ah Zheng, go get in line and buy me a portion of ‘cat rice’ from Boss Xia’s stall.”
Sun Zheng stood up immediately. To be honest, even if Granny Sun didn’t tell him to, he was planning to find a chance to queue up for his meal.
In the innermost layer of the stall.
“Gulu~”
Sun Ying swallowed and looked a little nervous.
There were crowds of people around the stall, and both cats and humans were staring at the stall with green, hungry and passionate eyes.
It’s a lot of pressure!
“Third sister, have you ever had a similar experience? There were so many people, and it was so crazy…” Sun Ying tried to divert her attention and relieve her inner tension, so she started talking to Sun Xiang.
Sun Xiang hesitated for a moment. “I’ve participated in many food festivals outside, but my stall has almost never encountered a situation like this. The diners are like puppets being controlled, swarming around me. To be honest, the atmosphere is a bit scary…”
Sun Ying nodded quickly:
“Yeah, I’ve been to a lot of large comic conventions, and those old perverts who surrounded the famous Dalei cosplayers to take pictures weren’t so ferocious!”
At this time.
slam-la-
A fragrance swept out like a hurricane.
In the makeshift tent, Xia An opened the lid of the pot, and the first pot of steamed “cat rice” was officially ready.
Look at the food made from a mixture of minced meat and grains of crystal clear rice.
Xia An was secretly curious and called up the food information panel.
……
[Dish: “Palace Edition Cat Rice”]
【Overall completion rate 99.6%】
【食材详情:飞鱿肉(99.8%)、龙兽肉(99.5%)、龙兽肝(99.6%)、龙兽心(99.8%)、极乐米(99.9%)】
[Entries/Features: Hellfire (pseudo-gold), Extreme Fire (pseudo-gold), Food and Morality Market Fireworks (green)]
……
Level 39 flying squid.
The meat, heart, and liver of a level 55 dragon beast.
There is also level 50 bliss rice supported by the Shenzhou Association.
These are all the ingredients for the finished dish of “Palace Edition Cat Rice”.
Of course, time is tight and the task is heavy.
Xia An went hunting for flying squid and an unknown mutant dragon beast last night, and only got 5 kilograms of paradise rice from Meng Yulu at noon today.
In just half a day, you can conquer these high-end ingredients and achieve a near-perfect control level of over 99%?
All I can say is that Xia An is cheating.
With the help of him forcibly raising the proficiency of the deputy grinder job to [Perfection], it was easy for him to melt the two imitations of the [Ganlang Pot] into one.
It is nothing more than digging out the authentic fragments of one of the Tanlang pots and embedding it in another one.
Just like that, the Tanlang Pot was miraculously enhanced after smelting and fusion.
These nearly perfectly processed ingredients on the ingredient list of “Palace Edition Cat Rice” are naturally made at no cost or expense, and are quickly processed by the [Ganlang Pot].
“But it’s all worth it!”
Xia An reviewed the ongoing business objectives:
Sell 100 servings of cat food and get double the ingredients back.
Sell a thousand cat meals and get ten times the ingredients back.
Today is the first day of opening the stall. Xia An prepared ingredients for a thousand servings of cat food, intending to test the waters.
“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and serve the dish.” Xia An glanced at Xiaolin Longdan who was standing by the kitchen counter.
“Oh…oh!” Kobayashi Rindan hurriedly put on heat-insulating gloves, took out the steaming bowls from the first layer of the steamer one by one, arranged them on a tray, and placed them on another kitchen counter.
Sisters Sun Xiang and Sun Ying also came to their senses.
“I’ll serve it.” Sun Ying, wearing a heat-resistant glove on one hand, poured the food in the steaming bowl into another plate.
“I’ll collect the money.” said Sun Xiang.
Xia An nodded, picked up the steaming plate and walked straight to the stall.
“Meow–“
All I could hear were meows coming from all around.
There is a cat customer sitting on each of the neatly arranged stools in front of the stall.
There are black cats, white cats…
There are tabby, calico…
Every cat customer sat half-upon the bench like a human, their amber cat eyes fixed on Xia An who was serving the dishes, not disguising the desire in their eyes.
This scene was quite interesting and made Xia An burst out laughing. A polite and well-behaved cat customer?
However, thinking that the owner of Cat Island was known as “Lord Cat God”, Xia An no longer found it strange.
“In seating order.”
Xia An would not be soft-hearted just because a certain heterochromatic tabby looked at him pitifully. He solemnly placed today’s first plate of “Cat Rice” at the Food Festival stall on seat number 1.
“Meow!”
The black cat sitting here suddenly became excited, dived into the plate, and started eating in big mouthfuls, making satisfied humming sounds.
Xiaolin Longdan and Sun Ying formed the production line for serving the food.
Soon, Xia An brought the second plate of cat food to the table.
“Ouch~!”
The tabby cat in the seat devoured the food excitedly.
Soon, the cat customers who had come to the table began to enjoy their food, and the intertwined aromas filled the area.
Since the innermost layer is occupied by groups of cat customers, human customers can only watch these cat customers eat first in the middle and outer layers.
Many people took photos helplessly and wanted to complain on social platforms that people are not as good as cats.
But when I thought about the rules that the witch read out when I landed on the island, which strictly prohibited the spread of anything about Cat Island on the Internet, I could only suppress the urge to complain.
Still, there was a lot of whispering around the stall.
“Alas, humans are not as good as cats!”
“Who says it’s not?”
“But if it weren’t for the mercy of the Cat God, who allowed us to go to the island and exchange 1 yen for a ‘Cat God Coin’, how could we have the chance to taste these ‘cat meals’?”
“Speaking of ‘cat food’, I am too tired to complain. It turns out that we are the bad guys who come to steal the food!”
in the crowd.
There are many people in the food industry, and their average cooking skills are quite high.
Unlike ordinary tourists, these gourmets were speechless with shock as they looked at the rows of cat customers eating at the stalls and smelled the perfect aroma of the cat food that seemed to be out of this world.
There was silence.
But it seemed as if one could hear deafening exclamations.
Meng Yulu and the old man from the Lu family arrived late and were at the outermost edge. They were unable to come back to their senses and utter a word for a long time.
