Chapter 198 (2/2)

“Yes. The fat has been removed; hence, it is good for health,” with a nod, Yuan Zhou said, pretending to be serious.

“Indeed. But it requires great effort and work to make it into such a form. It’s actually the edible gelatin, right?” Wu Hai considered for an instant and then said.

That’s true. This kind of edible gelatin was made entirely from the collagen extracted from fresh animal skin and bones. To girls, the collagen was not only the delicacy but also good for beautifying.

“It’s easy to be absorbed,” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“For sure it is. Besides, the texture is not bad since it has absorbed the fragrance and broth of the Spiced Beans and had a similar texture to the stewed beef tendon. This is also a top-notch delicacy,” Wu Hai said generously.

Eventually, Wu Hai got to know the purpose of filling the beans like that. The fish mouth opening could best prevent the fragrance from leaking. This guaranteed that it penetrated the Spiced Beans thoroughly as well as the spiced bag outside.

The vanished broth was absorbed by the spiced bag, therefore it was a dish of the two ingredients supplementing each other.

Nothing could be better than it to be eaten with wine.

…

Time was like the flowing water and never came back.

After Yuan Zhou finished reading all those seemingly childish books, he also learned composition from Wu Hai for ten days. During that period, only Yuan Zhou was learning. As for Wu Hai, he hadn’t even started to learn cooking.

However, Wu Hai truly satisfied his craving for teaching others during the period. Every day, he ordered Yuan Zhou freely about.

As he wanted to accomplish the mission earnestly, Yuan Zhou met all the expectations of Wu Hai.

Adhering to the principle of reciprocity, Yuan Zhou intended to teach Wu Hai earnestly, seriously and wholeheartedly when he learned cooking from him and made sure that he could master it.

Luckily, Yuan Zhou had absorbed the god-tier cutting techniques himself, which could be mastered quickly.

“You have understood most of the composition skills. Now you can practice by yourself. If you have any problems later, you can ask me,” after the last lesson, Wu Hai said bitterly.

“Humm, thank you,” Yuan Zhou gathered his stuff and said as he walked to the door.

“Never mind. It’s just an equivalent exchange,” Wu Hai waved his hand smartly.

“Dong Dong Dong”

Yuan Zhou returned to his restaurant in quick steps. It was the time to examine his accomplishments.

“System, I need to practice the knife skills,” Yuan Zhou said.

The system displayed, “It’s ready.”

Afterwards, a big radish with a height of a man suddenly appeared in the kitchen of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, standing upright there.

When he caught sight of the radish, Yuan Zhou first washed his hands and wiped the knife before starting to observe it in a very careful manner, including the texture of the radish.

Half an hour later, Yuan Zhou started to take up the menu and prepared to move the knife.

Accompanied by the sound of “Shua Shua Shua”, the pieces of radish skin flew all over the place and the translucent flesh was then revealed. The big radish started to take shape slowly in Yuan Zhou’s hands.

After two hours, Yuan Zhou finally stopped.

“Hu”, Yuan Zhou let out a long sigh of relief and put the knife down and then he started to observe his work.

In almost three hours, Yuan Zhou had carved an extremely beautiful court lady who was dressed in Chinese Han clothing of Tang dynasty with the kitchen knife.

“System, please give a mark,” Yuan Zhou felt satisfied and started to let the system to score.

The system displayed, “The score is 11. Congratulations, you have completed the mission.”

“Isn’t it full score?” Yuan Zhou felt he had basically used his best technique and mind in the three hours.

This time, however, the system didn’t mention where he had lost the marks.

Now that he had come so far for the mission, he had a stronger reason to make it better.

Yuan Zhou’s target was to get the full score. He started to check what exactly the problem was with the radish sculpture before he even had time to receive the reward…
