Time passed slowly, and Cao Hao temporarily stopped trying new dishes, and instead concentrated on honing his own basics.

The fundamental reason for doing this is because the experience value of the amateur level is almost full. In the words of the system, once you enter the assistant chef level, you truly enter the world of cooks.

At that time, Cao Hao will truly be able to take control of the restaurant.

It was also because the bright future painted by the system stimulated Cao Hao, so while stabilizing his business, Cao Hao calmed down and began to hone his own foundation.

A month passed in a hurry, and Cao Hao finally reached the full amateur-level experience value in the process of polishing his own foundation.

Just when Cao Hao was overjoyed to be promoted to assistant chef, the system prompted Cao Hao.

If you want to be promoted to a kitchen assistant, you must complete the promotion assessment given by the system.

"Promotion assessment?"

Cao Hao frowned slightly, but did not flinch. He directly said to the system: "So what is the assessment content?"

"Once you enter the assessment, I will randomly select three dishes from among the many recipes and give them to you."

The words about the system made Cao Hao's eyes light up, and then he said with some vigilance: "So good? Why do I feel like I don't believe it?"

"Three dishes will not be taken back. It also means you have three chances."

The system said seriously: "You can select one of the three dishes as the assessment content. After completing the cooking and reaching a score of 80, you can pass the test and be promoted to assistant chef."

"etc!"

Cao Hao immediately stopped the system and said seriously: "Are you right? 80 points? Or is it a new cuisine that I have never been exposed to?"

"This system has also said that once you enter the level of assistant cook, you will enter the world of cooks."

The system maintained a serious tone and said: "If you can't even complete the luminous cooking, then it can only be said that you have no talent. After three failed attempts, the cooking level will be cleared and everything will start from scratch."

"hiss."

Cao Hao took a breath, feeling extremely anxious when faced with the strictness of the system.

"Of course, once you pass the assessment, in addition to being promoted to the level of assistant chef, there will be additional rewards."

"Extra reward? What reward?"

"A purple-level kitchen knife."

"...Done it!"

Cao Hao's eyes were red, and his courage was stimulated by the rewards from the system.

Purple level kitchen knife.

For a chef, a good kitchen knife is like a top-notch sword for a martial arts master. It is a prop that can greatly increase the level of cooking.

Although it is not a top-notch golden kitchen knife, the purple kitchen knife alone is enough for Cao Hao to use it for a long time.

Moreover, what gave Cao Hao the courage to accept the assessment task was the crystal stones given to him based on his turnover in the past month.

Originally, Cao Hao wanted to have enough spar, so he purchased abilities such as intermediate swordsmanship and firepower.

However, the system suggested that he should not buy it first, but work hard to practice the basics and become thoroughly familiar with basic knife skills, heat, and spice combinations before purchasing the intermediate level.

Therefore, Cao Hao did not touch these crystals, but stored them.

After one month, including the crystals awarded after completing previous tasks, Cao Hao's number of crystals has reached 963!

Intermediate cooking skills require 300 crystals to purchase, and more than 900 crystals are enough to purchase all three intermediate skills!

"The assessment begins, and the teleportation to the cooking black room begins."

Cao Hao accepted the assessment, and the system immediately started transmitting.

But upon hearing the name Cooking Room, the corner of Cao Hao's mouth twitched unconsciously.

Soon, Cao Hao returned to the dark space where he had been trapped.

This is the dark cooking room. The environment here is extremely depressing and is a great test for a person's psychological endurance.

"Three dishes have been sent."

Soon, the recipes for three dishes appeared in Cao Hao's mind.

But looking at the three dishes in his head, Cao Hao fell silent.

The first dish, Yunlong Fried Shrimp, is a dish made by Liu Angxing. It is very difficult and daunting.

The second dish, konjac buns, is a pastry dish made by Xiang En, the meat bun sisters, the dominatrixes in the world of Tai Chi cuisine - Er Niang and Yi Zhang Qing. The difficulty lies in how to deal with the toxicity of konjac.

If not handled properly, it can kill people!

The third course, Dabao Twice-cooked Pork, is the simplest of the three dishes. The main test is the control of the heat.

If you just want to pass the assessment, then choosing the third dish of twice-cooked pork is definitely the safest way.

After three chances, plus the purchase of intermediate heat, and an 80-point rating, you can give it a try.

"But I won't be fooled."

Cao Hao smiled slightly and said seriously: "I choose konjac buns!"

"..."

The system was stunned by Cao Hao's choice. Unexpectedly, Cao Hao actually chose the most difficult of the three dishes, konjac buns, as the assessment content.

But is this really the case?

Obviously not!

On the surface, it seems that twice-cooked pork is simpler.

But in fact, what is the strongest aspect of Cao Hao today?

It is obvious that he has mastered the pastry aspects of Bai Luo Snake Transfer!

Coupled with the fact that he has been making clear noodle soup for a long time, Cao Hao has a lot of talent in making noodle dishes.

Cao Hao has never completed one of the 80-point luminous dishes so far. He is well aware of the difficulties of luminous dishes.

So even though the twice-cooked pork seems to be the simplest, Cao Hao still chose pasta dishes, which he is currently best at, as a breakthrough.

Looking at the konjac that appeared on the stove, Cao Hao picked it up, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then nodded. There was no problem in making the konjac buns.

Nine hundred crystals were consumed, and Cao Hao closed his eyes to adapt to the new knowledge and abilities.

After confirming that it was correct, Cao Hao washed his hands, then cleaned the konjac and processed the skin.

The processed konjac was placed on the chopping board, a kitchen knife was pulled out from the knife holder, and the silver light flashed, and the konjac was divided into tiny particles.

Cao Hao randomly picked up two pills and compared them. The sizes were almost exactly the same.

"Intermediate knife skills, pretty good."

Cao Hao smiled, found the stone mill provided by the system, and began to grind the konjac. At the same time, he used plant ash to create an alkaline environment to eliminate the toxicity in the konjac.

The finally obtained ground konjac was used by Cao Hao to make konjac tofu and konjac powder.

The two most important things were in place. Cao Hao mixed konjac powder into the flour, water and inserted a cooking stick into it.

"Then, let's begin!"
Chapter completed!
