37 A Unique Time II (2/2)
”Come on, it's your birthday, not mine,” Jiang Huiqin smiled. ”I'll just cook some of the bran later.”
In the end, Jiang Huiqin still ate one of the eggs.
The moment Jiang Huiqin put the egg into her mouth, tears rolled down her face. She was still the same Jiang Huiqin, crying like a 10 year old when she was already in her 40s or 50s.
”I'm so good at this!” Jiang Huiqin exclaimed as she covered her mouth with her hand.
”Yes. This is the best Bird's Nest Soup I've ever had,” Li Mingyi said while holding the bowl as tears also rolled down his face.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but start to sob as he witnessed what had happened to the couple.
”What are you crying for? I'll make this for you again next year,” Jiang Huiqin smiled.
But there was no next year. Jiang Huiqin died in the same year during winter.
Everything turned dark.
Jiang Feng was back at where he started, sitting on the chair.
Even though it was a short memory, the 4 hours playback were depressing for Jiang Feng.
He could even feel the agony in the playback before Jiang Huiqin opened her mouth to talk.
Jiang Feng was deeply impressed by his great-aunt, who could still express her feelings freely in such a situation.
After calming himself down for a while, Jiang Feng opened the system UI.
There was another input under the recipe tab.
[Fake Salix Leaf-shaped Bird's Nest Soup (Grade E)] [Can be modified]:
Maker: Jiang Huiqin
Detail: A food that has the worst possible ingredients and seasoning, but is priceless because of Jiang Huiqin's exceptional cooking skill and the unique surroundings she was in. It became the light for Li Mingyi in his darkest days and helped him to live on. No additional attributes.
Only one can be made per day. (0/1)
I can modify it? What does that mean? Is the system telling me to find ways to make it better?
Jiang Feng was confused.
The rating of the dish was only a level higher than Wang Shitou's dumpling recipe. Yet the difference was that Wang Shitou was bad at cooking, while Jiang Huiqin was being limited by her surroundings.
The dish had a lot of potential for improvement.
Jiang Feng wondered if the system was also telling him that he could modify the recipe until it became an authentic Salix Leaf-shaped Bird's Nest Soup.
But how do I modify it? Where should I start? The ingredients or the seasoning? Or perhaps the control of fire?
Since Jiang Feng could only make one per day, he wondered if he would have to wait until the Lunar New Year next year before he could successfully modify the dish.
At the end of the playback, Jiang Feng heard Li Mingyi mentioning that it was the best Bird's Nest Soup he'd ever had. It was a huge tip. Jiang Feng then scolded the system. At first, it mentioned that Li Mingyi could not forget the dish that Jiang Chengde made, but the quest required Jiang Feng to make a Bird's Nest Soup that Li Mingyi remembered deeply.
If Jiang Feng did not get his hand on the fake version, he would've tried to make the authentic one.
There was no way Jiang Feng could make the dish according to Jiang Huiqin's recipe. He didn't have the nerve to take the ingredients from the trash and use them for cooking.
Plus, there was no way an old man could handle that kind of ingredient.
Jiang Feng clicked on the video tutorial and started to think about how he could modify the recipe.
