Chapter 209 Zhen Qings Specialty (1/1)

”I have no strength left” Zheng Qing said to herself as she looked at the tihly six hours had passed but it was not yet time for Jin to open his store She looked at the ly fell to the floor and curled herself up

Her hands were stained with noodle flour and the kitchen preparation table had various ingredients lying all around She wanted tothe bulk of the menu that Jin showed her He even let her try every dish on the iri was too rando to keep track Yet, she still took the effort to try one every day, hoping that she would eventually hit a si for her especially when it co told Jin that every dish he introduced had no 'soul' of the food, they were undoubtedly top notch quality Take the curry rice for example The pork cutlet was cooked with precision with the cruolden in colour and yet the pork itself was still juicy and meaty Not too dry or too oily

Jin also told her that if possible, he would like to avoid Chinese food ainst the stores in the Tiangong Shopping District He did not want to have a food war against the shopping district since he was a dungeon supplier, not a restaurant owner The reason he wanted to have a restaurant instance was to incorporate rest and fun all in the same place

That was also the reason why he introduced Panda Credits into this shop, just to eain that the food was not the eons If the cultivators wished to eat his food, they would need to buy the dungeon tickets

That was the main intention of Jin but he was also a business owner Eventually, he was also blinded by greed which overshadowed his initial noble intentions Jin tried to experi food via real cash by allowing Zhen Qing to sell her black pepper pork buns

It was a fantastic experi out in his shop to see if it was viable to ith hi to build soood place to start If she was going to be an employee, it would be vital to have her be exposed to a part of the System Thirdly, the buns were her own creation and he would like to observe if she had the capability to create so exquisite with minimal help fro her, an external temporary business partner to try out how cash flows into the shop via food as adid not disappoint with her brand new black pepper pork buns as many people loved it Lastly, it was for selfish reasons such as Jin liking her

Sometimes, Jin wondered if she was fully incorporated into the System, would the System aid her to be the best Chef for Jin However, he was equally scared too What if the System favoured her more than him? What if the System decided to provide heritself to her?

However, reading too ured it would be wise to let her have her oay by gifting her a restaurant instance In the future, if she continued to do well and ave her roo rested for a while before standing up and washed her face to refresh herself again She knew that this was indeed a good opportunity to show Jin her skills since her speciality was not in Chinese food but in japanese food The reason was that she was not entirely of Chinese ethnicity but a mix of Russian and japanese too Her mother was Russian Chinese and her father was Chinese-japanese

She was brought up partly in Russia and subsequently in japan before an incident that caused her and her father to flee to China to keep a low profile That was also the reason why Jin was astonished when Zhen Qing said that she was going to cook a non-Chinese dish for Jin for the main dish

Her speciality was shi+o Ra was more inclined towards sea salt as this particular type of broth had fairly strong Chinese ties influence in this particular cuisine However, Zhen Qing wanted to create soood at

Tsukemen

Tsuke of noodles which were eaten after being dipped in a separate bowl of soup or broth While her Sensei taught herwas rather secretly well versed with the art of tsukemen Especially since her Sensei was undisputedly the number one tsukemen master in japan Why did he decide to choose her as his disciple? It was still a h to be under his tutelage

Her Sensei taught her his good traits and his bad traits For exa a clean freak because 'a dirty kitchen cannot produce good food' That hy Zhen Qing always toiled till near ht in Jin's caravan store before she left the store Yet, she always felt that the store seemed to be cleaner than she had left it when she cah Zhen Qing wasted her youthful years of being his apprentice, her Sensei would never impart his secrets to his Tsukemen directly to her He always dealt with the broth himself and if she wanted to learn the recipe, she had to learn by tasting, feeling, hearing and even le day, they would share a bowl of tsukemen as part of a tradition to learn from any mistakesnow struggled to attempt to recreate the same particular taste if possible It had been ettable However, the human's memory would always dramatise the history to the extre

”Maybe I should give up trying to recreate that particular flavour…” Zhen Qing said to herself as she began to throw the mess she made on the table away into the trash bin

It was during that instant when she felt like giving up as she was cleaning the es

”Perhaps, I should try recreating 'that' first before atte as initially ao back to her shi+o raed to make a small name for herself
