Chapter 163 Need to Understand and Grow Yourself
Zhao Xiaojing is eager to jump to the skill mall.
After finishing the seasoning course last time, she had no system coins left, and she had never bought the fire-fighting course she had been dreaming of.
Now that she had more money, Zhao Xiaojing took a look and bought two courses directly, one was the Fire Skills course she had been thinking about for a long time, and the other was the Thickening and Sauces course, both priced at 2000 system coins.
After the purchase, there were only 560 system coins left again. Zhao Xiaojing thought about it and clicked on the recipe page, but it was still empty.
"System, what's the pattern of this recipe? Why haven't there been any new recipes in such a long time?" Zhao Xiaojing asked puzzledly.
[This system is an intelligent system. Whether it is a task or a function, it will appear according to the host's current state. Everything revolves around the host's own growth, but the system is only auxiliary. ]
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xiaojing was confused by the flowery question.
【It means that when the host is in trouble, the system can help. For example, the fried skewers recipe that is most convenient for setting up a stall appears when you have nothing, and the sweet soup and pork trotter rice recipes that appear later when you need to improve, all of which only appear when necessary.
However, the advancement of cooking skills and the refinement of food require your own understanding and growth, rather than relying too much on the system, so the system does not have any new recipes at your current stage. 】
So that's how it is. Zhao Xiaojing nodded.
This is indeed the case. The style of the system has always been consistent. From the beginning, mastering knife skills is given as a gift, and anyone who has hands can do it; later on, seasoning, fire control, and recipes are just methods given. If you want to learn, you have to practice diligently, complete various tasks, upgrade, and open modules to get them.
But because of this process, she also keeps working hard and making continuous progress. This kind of solid feeling and confidence cannot be given by just one click.
It is better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish. Zhao Xiaojing realized this.
"Then I'll upgrade my virtual space. Can I upgrade it further?" Zhao Xiaojing asked while looking at the experience value of more than 10,000 points.
[Yes, this virtual space upgrade requires some experience points.]
Zhao Xiaojing was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that Xiaozhi's store opening module was not earning experience points very quickly. The devil is one foot high, and the road is ten feet high.
It’s better to save up slowly. Zhao Xiaojing resigned herself to entering the learning module and started learning the fire power course.
……
The next morning, Zhao Xiaojing went to the farmer's market and prepared vegetables according to Xiaozhi's suggestions.
Before, Zhao Xiaojing always bought pig's trotters from Mr. Huang at the pork stall. Now, to make rice with gravy, Zhao Xiaojing needed more ingredients. After talking to Mr. Huang, he took the initiative to reduce the price for Zhao Xiaojing. The price of pork belly was finally settled at 9.2 yuan per catty, and the price of pig's trotters was 10.8 yuan per catty.
This price is 5 cents cheaper than Zhao Xiaojing's previous wholesale price, and about 1 yuan cheaper per pound than the market closing price. Zhao Xiaojing is quite satisfied.
After that, I also booked orders for chicken, duck, beef, and vegetables separately. The discounts were not as great as for pork, but there was no rush to establish contact at the beginning. As time went on and more goods were ordered, the smart boss would take the initiative to lower the price.
"The electrician Captain Wu called for has come. He's not the one from yesterday. He checked the entire house's circuits and found no problems. He also helped replace the blackened lamp you mentioned. As soon as he replaced it, the electrician said the lamp was at the end of its life. You're amazing!" After returning to the store, Su Yuchen helped move the ingredients into the kitchen and said to Zhao Xiaojing.
Yesterday, in addition to the problem with the socket, there was also a problem with the lamp. In the afternoon, Zhao Xiaojing went to the market to buy a spare lamp, and asked Su Yuchen to come to the store early this morning at the agreed time to wait for the technician who would check the circuit, and ask the technician to help replace the lamp.
Fortunately, the weather is getting cooler now, and fruits can be kept longer, so we don’t have to restock every day, so one of us can have some free time.
"That's fine. You must be hungry. I'll cook."
The two were a little scared by the tight pace of yesterday's opening, so they started busying themselves as soon as they got up in the morning. It was only half past seven after they finished buying vegetables and checking the circuits.
Zhao Xiaojing put on her chef's uniform and came to the kitchen. She washed her hands and got to work, starting to peel the reddish old pumpkin she had just bought.
Both of them just messed around yesterday. For breakfast, each of them had three buns outside, and for lunch and dinner they had a hodgepodge of restaurant leftovers. They had clearly cooked for a whole day, but were too busy to have time for a proper meal.
Although both of them are able to endure hardships, there is no need to endure hardships when conditions permit. Breakfast is simple anyway, and you can make it yourself and eat it comfortably, which will keep you energetic for the whole day.
Zhao Xiaojing cut the pumpkin into pieces, picked out some rice and millet, then added water to the three ingredients, closed the lid and stewed them together in a pressure cooker.
While stewing, beat four eggs, scoop two spoonfuls of flour, add appropriate amount of water and stir into a paste.
Add a handful of thinly shredded carrots and chopped green onions, as well as salt and a little bit of beef bone powder that Zhao Xiaojing prepared herself, and continue to stir evenly into the thin paste.
Then heat the pan. When it starts to smoke, add oil and turn it evenly. When it reaches a certain temperature and becomes oily, pour the oil in the pan into the oil bowl on the side, then add cold oil again, heat it up and pour in the batter.
This is the concept of hot pan and cold oil, which relies on the thermal expansion and contraction of the pan. When the pan is heated, it will form many tiny holes. At this time, adding cold oil will quickly enter these small holes and form a layer of oil film, thus forming a layer of isolation between the pan and the ingredients, preventing the ingredients from directly contacting the bottom of the pan, achieving the effect of a non-stick pan.
"Comb, peel two sections of lotus root and we'll make some shredded lotus root as a side dish." Zhao Xiaojing was busy making pancakes, and Su Yuchen came over to pick up the lotus roots.
Zhao Xiaojing poured the batter in a circle while rotating the pan to spread the batter into an even pancake without holes or bubbles.
After the dough is formed, fry it for a while and shake the pan in circles from time to time to prevent it from sticking.
After one side is fried, flip the pan over beautifully and the golden and crispy side will be turned up. Then fry the bottom side until golden brown, remove from the pan and fry the next one.
Turn off the heat when the pumpkin porridge has been pressed for ten minutes and wait for the pressure cooker to deflate on its own.
The pancakes are made for three per person, and the batter is just used up after frying six.
Since having the quick module, Zhao Xiaojing would use it to divide the portions in advance to avoid waste. After each portion, she would look at it a few more times to remember it. Over time, she also began to control the portions accurately.
Putting the stacked pancakes aside, Zhao Xiaojing quickly cut the white and tender lotus root into shreds.
Then wash and blanch it, add white vinegar, and when it is cooked, take it out and put it in a bowl. Then add minced garlic, scallions, dried chili shreds and coriander, pour hot oil on it, then add salt, sesame oil, chicken powder and other seasonings and mix well.
"Why are you eating secretly? Serve the food!"
After Zhao Xiaojing mixed the lotus root shreds, she turned around to start the pressure cooker. When she turned her head, she found Su Yuchen secretly working on the lotus root shreds behind her.
"It's delicious! Our mirror cooking skills are amazing, and this pure and innocent thing tastes so good!"
Su Yuchen chuckled, not at all embarrassed about being caught eating secretly. After praising him a few words, he took the plate away and continued to eat the lotus root shreds.
