Chapter 93 Food
Wu Heyi frowned and flipped through the thin cookbook twice before revealing an extremely embarrassed expression.
He shook his head helplessly, then slowly raised his right hand and gently waved to the busy waiters nearby.
A young and pretty waitress walked over quickly, smiling as she asked:
"Sir, how can I help you?"
Wu He turned to the side and whispered a few words in the waitress's ear.
After he finished speaking, he carefully took out two shiny silver soul coins from his pocket and gently put them into the waitress's pocket.
The waitress was slightly taken aback at first, but quickly nodded in understanding, then turned around and hurriedly left.
Not long after, she returned to the table with a burly, pot-bellied middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was wearing a snow-white chef's uniform, but the chef's hat he was wearing was slightly crooked, and the apron tied around his waist was covered with mottled oil stains, as if it had been used for a long time.
He was very robust, especially his round belly, which was particularly eye-catching, reminding people of the old saying, "Big belly and thick neck, either a tycoon or a cook."
It turns out that this man is the head chef and owner of the restaurant.
When he heard his junior waiter report that a customer was not satisfied with the existing dishes and even asked to borrow the kitchen and ingredients to cook for himself, he couldn't help but feel a little displeased.
After all, as a Soul Master with a level 21 kitchen knife weapon spirit, he always believed that his cooking skills were superb, and the taste of his restaurant's dishes could be considered the best on this street.
On this bustling, noisy, and chaotic street, every Soul Master who frequents this place gives him a lot of face.
Those ordinary non-Soul Masters held him in even greater awe, daring not to utter the slightest criticism or complaint.
However, today, Wu Heyi and his group brazenly asked to use his kitchen, which was a blatant challenge to his tolerance!
To him, this was not a simple matter of borrowing the kitchen; it was clearly an open challenge and trouble-making!
Wu Heyi glanced discreetly at the cook's gloomy, dark complexion, as black as the bottom of a pot.
He calmly reached into his pocket and pulled out five glittering gold soul coins, then placed them steadily in his rough, thick palms.
"I just want to borrow your kitchen for a moment. I plan to cook a few of my signature dishes myself to try them out. This little bit of money is just to buy the ingredients I need from you!"
Wu Heyi said casually.
The shop owner first felt the heavy weight in his hand and wondered to himself:
"Hmph, just five silver coins? You dare to try and fob me off with that?"
Just as he was angrily preparing to smash the coins onto the ground and vent his anger,
Out of his long-standing habit of being cautious, he still quickly glanced at the object in his hand out of the corner of his eye.
He was shocked when he saw them – my God, these weren't just silver coins, they were five genuine, valuable gold soul coins!
The boss, who had just been raising his arms and looking furious, suddenly froze in place as if he had been frozen in place.
Immediately afterward, he lowered his raised hand with lightning speed and instead tightly grasped Wu Heyi's hand. His originally fierce face was now magically filled with a fawning and ingratiating smile.
"Oh my, what an honor to have such distinguished guests at our doorstep! Our humble shop is truly honored!"
It is truly a blessing from our ancestors to have such a distinguished guest as you patronize us today!
Whatever delicious dishes you want to make later, I guarantee everyone in the kitchen will be fully supportive.
Not only that, but I myself, along with the other six powerful Soul Masters in the shop, are also willing to serve you as your assistants and errand runners!
The boss bowed and scraped, speaking in a fawning manner.
In that instant, Wu Heyi was truly terrified.
Wu Heyi's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and for a moment he was speechless.
However, Wu Heyi was unaware that although the shop run by the man in front of him was elegantly decorated and had a considerable flow of customers, its products were priced for the average consumer.
After deducting essential labor costs and other expenses, the net profit each month is only seven or eight silver coins.
However, to everyone's astonishment, Wu Heyi casually tossed out five glittering gold coins.
Keep in mind that one gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins! This means that Wu Heyi gave out a full five hundred silver coins at once, a huge sum that is almost equivalent to the man's total net profit for nearly five years.
Faced with such a generous and wealthy customer, how could he not treat Wu Heyi with the utmost care and respect, like an incomparably noble lord?
At this moment, his face was full of fawning smiles as he bowed and scraped to greet Wu Heyi, secretly rejoicing that he had met such a wealthy man today.
When Wu He stepped into the kitchen, the sight before him left him speechless. The entire kitchen was spotless and tidy, as if it had just undergone a thorough cleaning.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked around again, and made sure he wasn't seeing things.
However, in stark contrast to this clean environment was the owner, who looked slightly greasy.
Wu Heyi's gaze, filled with doubt and surprise, fell directly on the boss.
The boss seemed to notice his strange gaze and felt a little embarrassed, his face turning slightly red.
But Wu Heyi didn't dwell too much on this strange contrast; he quickly shifted his attention to the dazzling array of kitchen utensils in the kitchen.
With his keen observation skills and excellent learning ability, he soon figured out how to use these kitchen utensils.
To Wu Heyi's delight, there were also seven highly skilled sous chefs.
After some observation and communication, he discovered that although these sous chefs were slightly less skilled than the boss, their abilities were still not to be underestimated.
More importantly, the martial spirits they possess are all weapon martial spirits related to kitchen utensils!
One of the more experienced guys had a unique martial spirit – a powerful oven.
This martial spirit can not only significantly shorten the cooking time, but also preserve the original delicious taste of food to the greatest extent, making it a true cooking marvel.
Excited, Wu Heyi couldn't wait to start selecting ingredients for the kitchen.
After careful consideration, he selected the raw materials for several dishes. First was Kung Pao Chicken, for which he specially chose fresh chicken thigh meat from a ten-year-old soul beast, known for its tender and juicy texture;
Next up were fried chicken cutlets and chicken wings, which were also made from high-quality meat from the corresponding parts of ten-year-old soul beasts.
In addition, there is the fragrant rice used in Yangzhou fried rice,
Soft tofu is needed for sizzling tofu.
Fresh, large squid is essential for grilled squid.
The special brine tofu is an indispensable ingredient for deep-fried stinky tofu.
The ingredients for stir-fried shrimp include live, jumping shrimp, as well as plump crucian carp and fresh clams used to cook crucian carp and clam soup.
Wu Heyi stood in front of the kitchen stove with great satisfaction. After working for a while, he finally succeeded in cooking a full dozen dishes.
These dishes are quite extraordinary; they are all novel delicacies that have never appeared in this other world. However, for Wu Heyi, each one is his favorite delicacy from his time in the distant Dragon Kingdom.
Every dish is infused with Wu Heyi's heart and soul, as if his longing and affection for his hometown are woven into it.
