Chapter 38 Still the basics
"Then let's put the question another way, little chef, what do you think is the difference between the luminous version of konjac buns you made and these dishes?"
Facing the system's questions, Cao Hao quickly recalled the time when he made glowing konjac buns.
Konjac buns are the only luminous dish that he can currently make. Even other dishes that Cao Hao is better at are unable to shine.
So what is the true meaning of luminescence?
Cao Hao frowned, and the delicious taste of fungi in his mouth seemed to fade away, and the strong taste of konjac buns seemed to appear on his taste buds again.
What's the difference?
Cao Hao felt two different flavors. He seemed to realize something for a moment, but it disappeared the next moment.
The picture of making konjac buns by himself suddenly appeared, and a bolt of thunder seemed to hit Cao Hao, causing Cao Hao to wake up.
"Wait! I got it!"
Cao Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said with some uncertainty: "Compared with the dishes I am making now, the taste of konjac buns is more harmonious, as if a symphony was staged on the tip of the tongue. The texture, taste, heat, everything is integrated.
For the musicians, under the interlacing of the conductor’s batons, they perform harmoniously.”
Having said this, Cao Hao looked at the empty plate and said: "But the dishes I make now, although they are delicious, lack that harmony, as if there is an extra newbie in the symphony. Although it can be used by other
People play together, but the sense of unfamiliarity and dislocation still exists, and it is impossible to perfectly present a symphony!"
Fatty Lan and the others looked at Cao Hao, who suddenly became quiet and motionless, and were a little confused for a moment.
As for Cao Hao, the system's voice sounded: "Children can be taught. The true meaning of Luminous Cuisine is the harmony of ingredients and techniques. This requires extremely high standards for a small chef."
"its not right."
Cao Hao listened to the system's explanation and suddenly asked in confusion: "If that's the case, then why does luminous cuisine only need to reach 80 points? But giving ingredients their own imprint requires 90 points?"
"Then how do you understand the mark given to yourself?"
"It's probably similar to the power of the medicine in the Spirit of the Shouting Halberd."
"..."
The system was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Personal imprint is not as superficial as you think. The harmony of cooking is the foundation, and on this basis, giving spiritual enjoyment to cooking is a higher level.
level.”
"What about the situation inside the Halberd-Eating Spirit?"
Cao Hao couldn't help complaining that there was no such thing as luminous cooking in the Spirit of the Shouting Halberd, and King Yao's drugging skills were obviously in line with what the system said about giving spiritual enjoyment to the cooking.
"Then I can also learn the skills of the King of Medicine, bypass the luminous cooking, and directly achieve the purpose of administering medicine."
After Cao Hao finished speaking, the system did not speak, but sent a video to Cao Hao.
Cao Hao observed the video and found that it was a video of him cooking three dishes for himself in the cooking space.
The system was afraid that Cao Hao would not see it, so the extremely large font in the video floated above the three home-cooked dishes made by Cao Hao.
"All three scores are around 90 points..."
Cao Hao was a little shocked. It was hard to imagine that he could actually make such a highly rated dish.
And as Cao Hao said just now, the three dishes did not glow, but their ratings were higher than those of the luminous dishes.
"Is there a bug?"
Cao Hao couldn't help but ask, but what he got in return was a long period of silence from the system.
"Okay, okay, I understand. This kind of cuisine is evil. Only when your appetite is satisfied should you enter other areas, right?"
"The foundation is the most important. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the food is, it will just be a castle in the air."
After the system said the last sentence, it fell completely silent.
And Cao Hao also understood the purpose of the system.
Cao Hao is currently unable to make luminous dishes. What is the root cause?
Nothing else.
The three basics of knife skills, heat, and taste have not yet been improved to an advanced level.
In other words, the foundation is not solid.
Only if Cao Hao has laid a solid foundation, then creating luminous cuisine will be a matter of course.
Then based on the luminous cuisine, we give the cuisine a spiritual level of enjoyment based on the ultimate taste.
If both of them are reached to the extreme, then the food produced by Cao Hao will be a perfect food!
"Boss, are you okay?"
Just when Cao Hao was thinking about it, Big Bear tugged on Cao Hao's clothes and pulled Cao Hao out of the communication with the system.
"It's okay, I just thought of some things to improve the cooking."
Cao Hao smiled slightly, and then said to Fatty Lan: "Doraemon, go back. I have almost collected the ingredients in the past two days. It's time for me to go back to business."
"Really?"
Fatty Lan was immediately overjoyed. Although he had eaten a lot of food for free in the past day or so, Cao Hao did not make his favorite dorayaki.
Now that Cao Hao said he wants to go back, that means that in the next time, he can eat Dorayaki as much as he wants!
"But before that, please send me to another place."
Cao Hao looked at Fatty Lan and smiled slightly.
"Where?"
Fatty Lan asked slightly confused.
Cao Hao continued to smile, which made Fatty Lan feel inexplicably flustered.
…
"Welcome back, little helper."
Early on the third day, Cao Hao returned to the restaurant. Looking at the cooling pass, Cao Hao sighed slightly and walked towards his kitchen.
"System, how is the food collection going?"
As Cao Hao walked, he looked at the almost unchanged restaurant and asked the system: "Should it meet your so-called high-quality ingredients?"
"Currently, there are thirty-five types of ingredients included, including twelve types of high-quality ingredients to meet the mission requirements."
When it came to the system, Cao Hao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that after working hard for so long, he only included twelve high-quality ingredients.
"The food identification skill has been issued."
After the system's voice fell, Cao Hao felt his eyes cool down slightly, and then returned to normal.
“How to use food identification?”
Cao Hao asked about the system, and immediately after, three bamboo shoots slowly appeared on the large counter in his kitchen.
When Cao Hao looked at the three bamboo fungus flowers, Cao Hao noticed that a faint light slowly emitted from the three bamboo fungus flowers.
And this light is naturally white, green, and blue.
"White is the lowest, so what you call high-end ingredients are actually blue ingredients, right?"
Cao Hao picked up three bamboo fungi and carefully identified them. Through some subtle differences, Cao Hao could not clearly determine the difference between the three bamboo fungus.
But when Cao Hao took three bamboo shoots and made three identical dishes without any difference in the steps, the differences naturally emerged.
The three ingredients ranked from high to low were 79, 78, and 77 respectively.
