"Two gentlemen, this is the fragrant wine and meat you ordered. Please taste it..."

Zhu Xiaohua was racking her brains to figure out where to find such an unreliable job for Zhou Yi. The beautiful waitress came over with a dish and placed a plate of thin slices of meat on the table.

Suddenly the aroma of wine and meat hit his nostrils, causing him to sneeze uncontrollably.

"Hmm? This dish looks great and tastes good, right?"

Zhou Yi and Zhu Xiaohua were both a little surprised when they saw the fragrant fermented wine and meat in this Jingbang dish.

Both of them are gourmets at the level of foodies. Zhou Yi is from their family, and their love for food was passed down from the old man’s father’s generation. It is said that the great ancestor three generations back was a famous chef; Zhu Xiaohua

It's not bad either. He has passed the "alcohol test" and eats "proletarian revolutionary rice" all day long. He has a certain understanding of the eight major cuisines and is also an expert among experts.

The 'Old Place' is actually a mid-range hotel, better than a home-cooked restaurant. The two brothers made an appointment here just for nostalgia. To be honest, the level of the cooks here is average. But when Zhu Xiaohua was ordering food just now, she saw that today's launch

The special dish turned out to be the fragrant fermented wine and pork with fermented glutinous rice wine, which is one of the Jingbang cuisines that is more particular about raw materials, so I casually ordered one, but I didn’t really have high hopes.

There are so many small hotels these days that like to pretend to be fat. Even if they find a few second-level chefs, they dare to put up the Hanquan banquet brand. If you expect to eat authentic Kyoto cuisine here, it is about as difficult as finding a place in the red light district.

.

But when this dish was served, the two brothers were a little confused. Wasn't the "Old Place" prepared? A mid-range hotel actually hired a special chef? Isn't this unscientific?

If nothing else, just look at the skill of the knife. Every piece of meat is the same thickness and size. The island country’s cooking master who specializes in sashimi is nothing more than that. Look at the fragrant rice wine poured on the meat pieces. Hongzhong

Translucent, thick but not sticky, this must be the lees made from the best red rice wine. Just the selection, steaming and brewing process of this lees are extremely cumbersome and extremely ingenious. It is definitely not worth three or five yuan on the roadside.

It can be compared with kilograms of low-grade distiller’s grains.

“This time I got it!”

Zhu Xiaohua started the fastest. She went down with her chopsticks and picked up five or six pieces of meat. She stuffed the red and fragrant meat into her mouth. She opened her cheeks and chewed while mumbling indistinctly.

Said: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's so fragrant..."

"Let me try..."

Zhou Yi also moved his index finger, quickly took a piece and put it into his mouth, squinted his eyes and tasted it carefully...

"Ding, if you come into contact with high-end food, the system will determine it to be level eight, which will trigger the sub-career - cooking!"

Zhou Yi couldn't help but be stunned, triggering the sub-career? Then there was another system sound: "Ding, the sub-career is triggered. According to the system program, the owner can get a novice gift box, which may include equipment, system currency, potential points for upgrades, and basic attributes.

Distribution points…”

"I didn't expect that this system is quite comprehensive. There is even a gift box for beginners?"

Zhou Yi was so happy that he didn't care that he was still in a public place. With his thoughts in mind, he quickly entered the system interface.

At the bottom of the character attribute screen, a shiny new option appeared, which was the word "Culinary Skills"; in addition, in the middle of the screen, there was a rectangular brocade box floating, which should be the novice gift box.

As soon as Zhou Yi thought, the gift box disappeared with a burst of colorful light, and the system prompt sounded again: "Acquired 100 basic attribute distribution points, which can be used at any time." Then in the inventory under the character's attributes, a symbol appeared.

Tips for Arabic numerals 100.

"Basic attributes?"

The attributes in the system are divided into two categories: basic attributes and practical attributes. The practical attributes are attack and defense. The basic attributes are the root bones, understanding, strength, and agility that can increase points by following the basic skill "Linggen Immortal Body".

and wisdom.

When the spiritual root immortal body was upgraded from level 0 to level 1, these five basic attributes only increased by two points each, and the total was only 10 points, but the novice gift box actually directly gave away 100 points! What is the concept? If excluded

The factor that will increase the basic attribute points in the later stage of the basic skills is equivalent to a direct upgrade of 10 levels.

With the current living environment, even if Zhou Yi can perfectly maintain a leisurely life mentality, the upgrade potential points he gets every day are only 2 points. In other words, if you want to upgrade the spiritual root immortal body from the current level 1 to level 2, it will take three days.

More than a month, and this newbie gift box saved him at least one to two years!

"Cooking? This sub-profession is great!"

Compared with the one hundred basic attribute allocation points, Zhou Xing is more interested in the deputy professional cooking skills. The old Zhou family is a heirloom of cooking skills. When the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Beijing and the Queen Mother visited the West, his grandfather was said to have taken over the imperial cuisine.

; In his grandfather's life, although he is no longer a cook, he is a famous gourmet in Sijiu City. His father and he are both top-notch foodies; the second sister learned cooking skills that are different from those in Sijiu City.

I went abroad to open a restaurant and still fooled the French. Everyone would give their thumbs up and say: "Good, China!"

With this origin, Zhou Yi chose cooking without thinking. The system prompted again: "Assistant professional cooking, there are nine levels in total. There are two upgrade modes available. One: Gradual upgrade mode. The first level requires 2 points of bone.

, Comprehension 2 points, and the points required for each level will gradually increase in the future. The advantage is that when the basic attribute points are low, the sub-professional can be mastered quickly, and the basic attribute points remain unchanged after upgrading and can continue to be accumulated. The disadvantage is that attribute points are consumed

More, if you want to be promoted to level nine Dzogchen God of Cooking, you need to accumulate a total of 100 points of root bone and 100 points of understanding!"

"A sub-profession requires so many basic attribute points?"

Zhou Yi frowned.

"Two: Package upgrade mode. To upgrade your cooking skills to the full level at one time, you need to consume 100 basic attribute points. This upgrade mode will completely consume the basic attribute points. If there is no extra point package, please upgrade with caution.

Because this will permanently reduce the character's basic attributes..."

Fortunately, the system has provided a second upgrade method. Zhou Yi understood. Although this second method consumes less basic attribute points and can upgrade the sub-career to the top level at once, it has one biggest disadvantage. If

He didn't get the 100-point package from the novice gift box, but if he used this method rashly, the character's basic attributes would be permanently reduced, and it would be irreversible.

However, this system is very considerate. When triggering the sub-career, it also gives away 100 attribute points. Like many games, the early stage is basically intended to achieve player success.

If it were anyone else, they might have to wait until another sub-profession is triggered before considering using the point pack. After all, not everyone is interested in cooking. But Zhou Yi, a foodie, doesn't need to think about it at all. If nothing else, he just wants to watch.

For my grandfather's sake, this sub-career is also my first choice.

After choosing to complete the sub-profession at one time, since Zhou Xing's basic attribute points were not enough, the system automatically used the one hundred points in the inventory. As a burst of colorful light flashed in front of his eyes, the sub-profession on the character attribute screen appeared.

In the column, two red letters appeared: cooking skills.

Cooking skills: Level 9, Dzogchen God of Cooking, Level 9 knife skills, Level 9 fire control, Level 9 identification of ingredients, Level 9 purification of ingredients...

Behind each item, there are detailed explanations. For example, the sword skill item includes red and white knife skills and carving skills; the fire control item includes frying, frying, deep-frying, steaming, etc.

It goes without saying that the identification of ingredients is a necessary skill for chefs, but Zhouyi's is more subtle. If you give him a duck now, he can tell where the duck's ancestral home is, where it lives, and where it actually lives.

Where is the sex, how old is it, how many months and days is it, how active is it, is it in estrus, is it a virgin or not, is there any hidden disease, is there a baby, etc...

Call it thorough!

The last ingredient purification is an incredible ability. With this skill, Zhou Yi can transform inferior ingredients into superior ingredients. For example, a fish artificially raised and fed with birth control pills can use this skill in Zhou Yi

Finally, it can be transformed into first-class wild fish; another example is genetically modified soybeans, which Zhou Yi can transform into pure biological, green and healthy soybeans. With this incredible skill, the chef can transform even a pile of smelly fish and rotten meat into

, you can also make a state banquet!

However, the skill is incredible, and the price to pay is staggering. Using this skill, every kilogram of ingredients processed will consume 0.3 upgrade potential points. According to the setting of the sub-professional, Zhou Yi will get a lot of hard work by cooking a dish.

The upgrade potential point is only 0.1, so not only is there no profit, but you also have to pay for it.

Therefore, before obtaining a five-a level living environment and fundamentally increasing the speed of obtaining upgrade potential points, it is better to use this skill sparingly. Moreover, the ingredients purified with this skill can restore the color and aroma of top-level ingredients.

, taste, eliminate the harmful ingredients to the human body, but cannot truly restore the nutritional content of the ingredients, it is better to buy real top ingredients.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious. It feels so good! Oh? Third brother, why did you eat one piece and stop eating it? Are you carrying forward Lei Feng's spirit and giving this plate of delicious food to me, brother?"

Zhu Xiaohua had almost finished a whole plate of fragrant fermented wine and meat, when she realized that Zhou Yi was in a daze...
Chapter completed!
