Translator: Xiong Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

"Boss Yuan, if you have any requirement for the shop sigh, we can talk about that . " The man wearing a cap didn’t believe that Yuan Zhou would refuse him so bluntly .

"It’s very late . Bye . " Instead of answering his question, Yuan Zhou nevertheless uttered to drive him away .

"Actually, I can offer you the newest product that requires the least power . It’s convenient and can save power . " The man wearing a cap offered more benefits continuously . Judging from that, Yuan Zhou’s business was extraordinarily good .

"Thank you, but I don’t need it . " With an indifferent look, Yuan Zhou walked to the door, as if to send him away .

If the man still stayed there, Yuan Zhou almost couldn’t control the primitive force inside of his body .

"All right . If you change your mind, feel free to call me . " Seeing Yuan Zhou’s determined attitude, the man wearing a cap could only leave . However, he still left his name card there .

"Good bye . " Yuan Zhou said at last, but he didn’t take the name card .

When the man wearing a cap found he wasn’t going to make it, he left Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

"Hooo, so many temptations on the way to a Master Chef . I refused another one just now," Yuan Zhou comforted himself primly .

Nevertheless, Man Man and Zhou Jia got a little speechless .

"Boss Yuan, I really feel it is necessary for you to make a shop sigh . " Said Man Man earnestly .

"I will have one when it’s the right time . " Yuan Zhou revealed a mysterious look .

"Since the restaurant has been opened for so long time, are you still prepared to specifically select one day to hang the shop sigh?" Man Man couldn’t help ridiculing .

"You are right . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

" . . . . " Man Man had nothing to say instantly . Only after quite a while did she say,

"All right . I’m going back . "

"Humm . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

"Boss, I’m going back, too . " As his employee, Zhou Jia found it inappropriate for her to say anything about the shop sigh .

"Take care on the way . " This time, Yuan Zhou spoke a few more words .

It could be clearly seen that he wasn’t in a good mood . That indeed made sense . Whoever declined a benefit would inevitably feel upset .

Not to mention that Yuan Zhou was a person who liked money . Therefore, such a situation was really understandable .

Once the man left, Yuan Zhou got seated in the chair following a sound of "Peng" and after quite a while he tapped open the mission directly and received the new dish .

[Side Mission] To collect 100 requests to open branch restaurants (completed)

(Mission tips: one couldn’t be regarded as a master chef if no one applies for a branch restaurant . )

[Mission status] 100/100

[Mission Reward] A recipe of Dongpo Pig Knuckle (received)

(Reward tips: a main course of Sichuan Cuisines, a must-have dish for a master chef . )

"Only a meat dish can comfort my wounded heart . " Yuan Zhou checked the cooking method of Dongpo Pig Knuckle dumbly .

There was not only the cooking method, but also the eating method of the dish as well as a long succession of precautions .

"Awesome, my system . " Looking at the long succession of precautions, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but said .

The system displayed, "Thanks for your compliments . "

" . . . You are welcome . " Yuan Zhou really wanted to say it wasn’t a compliment, but he didn’t after some consideration . After all, he was truly grateful to the system .

This time, Yuan Zhou cooked two servings of Dongpo Pig Knuckle at a go due to the eating method . Therefore, he straightforwardly took out two pork hocks from the cabinet provided by the system .

"Are they fresh?" Yuan Zhou took up two pork hock with the same size and asked conveniently .

The system displayed, "Yes . The pork hock is taken from purebred Lantang Pig, also known as Hibiscus Pig . It has existed for quite a long time . Its history could be traced back as early as the period of Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties . And the fat and lean meat are evenly distributed, therefore it’s totally different from the current lean-meat pork . "

"The taste of the Lantang Pig is rather well-stacked . With its moderately distributed fat and lean meat, it’s the best option for Dongpo Pig Knuckle . "

"The origin of Lantang Pig, Zijin County, is dominated by mountainous and hilly areas with the average height above sea level no less than 300m . The Tropic of Cancer traverses the central section of the county . It is the subtropical monsoon climate and thus has a warm climate . The frost-free season reaches up to 300 days and the annual precipitation is about 1760mm . It’s suitable for the growth of various crops including rice, peanut, soybean, sugarcane, silkworm and mulberry, etc . "

"The abundant crops have provided the good and stable feeding atmosphere . Having been improved by the system, the proportion of the fat and lean meat reaches 5:5 perfectly .

"The plants for feeding the pig during the feeding period are herbage, including some medicinal plants that the pig likes the most . The daily sports time is arranged according to the weight, age and physical state of every pig . The pig itself doesn’t have any smell of urine . Instead, it even has some fragrance . "

"The pork hock selected this time are the front hoofs, including that piece of most delicious part, ‘See No Sky’ . "

"Every time, you surprise me . What’s wrong with you?" Yuan Zhou took the bamboo stick and ridiculed expressionlessly .

However, the system that had just turned up disappeared again . Yuan Zhou could do nothing but sigh and continue to verify the quality of the food material .

The quality of the pork hock was actually very easy to distinguish . Take a smooth bamboo stick and thrust it into the meat quickly, vigorously and precisely . After that, wash and smell it . If there was fragrance from it, it was superior material . But if there was the smell of urine, it was inferior .

Therefore, Yuan Zhou was prepared to do that .

Having frequently practiced sculpting, Yuan Zhou already had very stable hands . After thrusting the bamboo stick into the pork hock and leaving a tiny but deep hole, he smelled a bland and aromatic smell as described by the system, devoid of even the common blood smell .

"The system seems to have a skilled craftsmanship . There’s surprisingly not even a little blood . It should have been drained away . " Yuan Zhou spoke highly of the system silently . However, the system still didn’t turn up and answer him .

"The skill of removing hair is not so good though . " Yuan Zhou took up the pork hock and found several pig hairs on it . But this problem was very easy to handle .

He took out the hair tweezers and cleaned the two pork hock up neatly and quickly .

Normally, people would cut open the pig skin and flesh and take the bones out from inside . Yuan Zhou nevertheless did to the contrary . After all, he had to stuff a very important food material inside the flesh .

Yuan Zhou picked up an extremely narrow sharp knife and thrust it into the flesh quickly along the anadesma with his right hand . After that, he rotated the knife conveniently and then took the entire bone out . The anadesma inside was still attached to the flesh .

"It seems that I am not far from cooking the Wu Chicken . " Yuan Zhou looked at the intact cut and sighed with emotion .

Just while Yuan Zhou was busy cooking in the kitchen and preparing to reward himself with a feast, Wu Hai was finally going to get off the plain .

"Sir, our plane will land half an hour later . Do you have any needs?" A pretty airline stewardess said to Wu Hai who was sitting in the spacious first-class cabin .

"A cup of ice water," looking at the empty tray table, Wu Hai said lightly .

"Ok, sir . One moment, please," The stewardess slightly bowed to him and said smilingly .

"Humm . " Wu Hai answered while lowering his head and looking at the phone .

What a joke! Wu Hai was watching the gourmet backup group constantly and he just wanted to know what Yuan Zhou’s new dishes were .

However, no one said anything even after the noon passed .

Wu Hai couldn’t help sending a message to ask about that and then got to know Yuan Zhou hadn’t served any new dish .

"Fortunately, I can catch up with the new dish . " When Wu Hai saw the messages replying him with a ‘no’, he felt relieved and then said .

"Sir, your ice water . " At that time, the stewardess served him a cup of water .

"No lemon, please . Change one for me," when Wu Hai raised the head and found a slice of lemon was put in the water for decoration, he frowned and said straightway .

"Sorry, sir . I will change another cup of water for you at once," the stewardess apologized immediately .

"Humm . Don’t put anything inside . " Wu Hai specifically emphasized .

Wu Hai wasn’t interested in such inferior lemons, even if it was provided in the first-class cabin . They were all from the greenhouse in the market . What good taste would it have even if the fragrance wasn’t pure? It had no other functions but to destroy the taste of the water .

"Sure . Don’t worry, sir . " The stewardess was still smiling .

With his picky mouth, Wu Hai could only live on Yuan Zhou now . . .
