If she could use the simplest of spirit food ingredients to create dishes that were not only delicious but also appealing and possessing high spirit energy value, only then could she consider herself to be a good Spirit Chef.
Huan Qing Yan started practicing; she started from the simplest ingredient, chicken eggs.
She separated the egg white and yolk before mixing a small amount of water into each portion; after putting oil into the pan, she fried them separately before placing them together, using the egg white and yolk to form the shape of a crab. She added some vinegar, ginger shreds, sugar, salt and water to form a sauce; after heating the sauce in the pan, she drizzled it on top of the crab-shaped dish.
It was very simple and looked good.
Huan Qing Yan smelled its fragrance before testing its taste with a small bite; after finding out that it was not bad, she stopped eating.
She started on the second dish.
The second dish she planned to make was a snack.
When she saw the huge and plump mushroom, Huan Qing Yan thought of making Soy Fortune Buns.
After removing the root portion of the mushrooms and soaking them in water, she shredded the chives into long pieces and soaked them in water. Then, she diced some pork along with the soaked mushrooms. After creating a meat paste of pork and mushrooms, she added in some dark sauce and salt before adding a small amount of water to form a sticky paste. She cut up a sheet of bean curd skin into ten-centimeter squares before placing a small fist of meat paste at the center of the bean curd skins. She raised the four corners of the bean curd skin and connected them together at the top, using the chives to circle around the bean curd skin multiple times, tightening them along the way. With that, tens of Bean Fortune Buns were made; she placed all of them into a steamer to cook.
The bean curd skin contained spirit energy as well; she bought these from Spirit Master Alley, and the seasonings were also brought from that place. These items that required special manufacturing processes were too complex for her to make it herself, so she decided to buy them off-the-shelf instead.
Very quickly, fragrance permeated the air.
Suddenly, a crisp ringing sound was heard.
“Ding! Congratulations, your Spirit Chef rank has improved to Intermediate Rank!”
A Spirit Chef could be split into the following ranks: Basic, Intermediate, High, Master, Grandmaster, and Legendary.
Huan Qing Yan was really happy. She had been cooking for herself everyday within the dimension and did not expect to become an Intermediate Spirit Chef just like that!
However, on a closer look, it seemed very proper as well. Since no one possessed a dimension that contained to many spirit ingredients, providing her an endless amount to use, even a rich man’s son would not be able to enjoy luxuries like this!
The rank up also came at the right time; the culinary rating of her food would likely increase as well, thereby boosting the texture and spirit energy value of the food she created.
Before, she was not sure if she could win the Spirit Chef Festival with her current skills, but now, her confidence had increased greatly.
The Ocean Life Flower would definitely fall into her hands.
She can cure Brother Jiu Li’s mute condition as well.
Huan Qing Yan was in a very good mood. She picked up a Bean Fortune Bun and placed it into her mouth; with a bite, a wave of fragrance spread throughout her mouth… She had been cooking delicious food for herself to eat every day, yet she was not afraid of putting on weight, with two spirit treasures to feed inside her, she had no excess spirit energy to convert into fats.
This was truly the greatest form of enjoyment a person could have, despite the constant eating, she would not be fat even if she did not move at all; this was what every sister in the world have been hoping for in their hearts!
It was simply too awesome.
As she was enjoying herself, the reincarnated girl suddenly said, “Huan Qing Yan, don’t you think that Bai Chen Feng was rather different from before?”
Huan Qing Yan nearly choked herself, “Why are you talking about that trash when I am eating? It will spoil the appetite!”
“Bai Chen Feng’s actions outside the Imperial Medical Building today, don’t you find it strange? That look of utter disgust towards Huan Meng Yue…”
“Who cares about his expression, it has nothing to do with us. I bet it must be some scheme that he’s planning, do not fall for his tricks,” Huan Qing Yan said.
The reincarnated girl lightly acknowledged before adding, “But I kept feeling that he was different somewhere.”
