In the room made of ice blocks, the floor was covered with animal skins, and countless men snored like thunder.
Zhang Wei suddenly stood up and looked around. The unfamiliar environment made Zhang Wei feel dazed for a while.
Waves of white smoke dispersed into water vapor, and the temperature was frighteningly low.
"Didn't I die of illness in the Spirit of Halberd Eater...how could it be..."
"It seems that the Treasure Hall still has secrets that I haven't discovered yet."
Feeling the strong heartbeat and strong body, Zhang Wei finally believed in the fact of traveling through time again.
Looking at the thick fur coat on his body and the bedding made of unknown animals, even so, he still felt a chill to his bones.
Spitting out a mouthful of white frost, Zhang Wei frowned and said: "At least minus 20 degrees... which is already the standard for low-temperature refrigerators."
"Why do these people live here?"
Igloos are usually kept warm. Zhang Wei also went to the Far North to hunt for food and ate and lived with the local Eskimos.
But the sound of the wind whistling in your ears will take away all the accumulated heat.
"This level of ventilation... one wouldn't last long."
Close your eyes and fragments of information emerge one by one.
Ice hell... dormant volcano... all the ingredients in the world are gathered and frozen here... gourmet display window...
"There is a kind of beast whose whole body is covered with top-grade frost meat..."
"The tree grows king crab meat all year round, and the meat is firm and plump..."
"A steady stream of mellow and sweet amber brandy springs..."
Comparing the comics from his previous life with the remaining memories of his physical body, Zhang Wei basically determined where he was.
"The most glorious era of chefs...it's really good."
He wrapped himself tightly in the animal skin quilt, lay down with a satisfied and yearning smile, and soon fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but the supervisors broke into the dormitory beating gongs and drums and holding whips.
"Room 455, get up and wash up!"
If the men in the animal skin quilts slowed down a little, the whips would come up.
Occasionally, there would be corpses that were not moving at all, so the supervisor could only take another look and tell people to lift the corpses by hand.
Here, there are people who can't stand it every night.
Zhang Wei followed the crowd and walked all the way. Whether it was a wall or a roof, they were all carved out of a huge block of ice, which was a work of miraculous craftsmanship.
After chatting with passers-by, Zhang Wei found out that the place where everyone lived was not an igloo, but a space dug inside a huge glacier.
As far as the eye can see, the crowd gradually exceeds a thousand...
"The space within this glacier is as open as a stadium, and the height..."
Zhang Wei looked up, not knowing where the vertical rope ladder led.
Here, there is more than one level!
"This kind of building scale is extremely difficult to complete in the 21st century. Isn't it the extraordinary power of gourmet capture..."
The water for washing was so cold that you could feel a lot of ice residue when you scooped it out with your hands.
After simple cleaning, Zhang Wei received breakfast with his identity card.
The energy bar is a mixture of chocolate, butter, starch and salt. It tastes pretty good, but it's a bit hard when frozen.
Looking at the packaging above, one stick contains 800 calories.
"Table 107 Ronnie Hugh."
"yes!"
"118 Zhang Wei."
"yes!"
"119 Kameda Yakuzo."
"yes!"
"Heimao, table 120."
After no one answered for a long time, the supervisor picked up the pen and made a mark on the notebook.
Obviously, there is no need to prepare dinner for Kuroge.
The desks are lined with various knives and chopping boards, where Zhang Wei and other handymen carry out the first step of processing the ingredients.
Icefield yaks weighing several tons dragged the plow, and supervisors unloaded sealed boxes one by one from them.
These storage boxes are very expensive to make, and they can extend the storage period while preserving their delicious taste to the maximum extent.
A large number of rare ingredients are distributed, and any item taken out can be regarded as a treasure by ordinary restaurants.
"Gan! It's the Grimace Mushroom again!"
A wailing sound came from the next table, it was the obese Kameda Yakuzo.
Not surprisingly, Zhang Wei got the same thing.
Inside the fresh-keeping box, three or four brightly colored large mushrooms lay inside, and the big blood-red faces on the mushroom umbrellas made people shudder.
There are densely packed dried sacs on the stems, which contain highly toxic spores.
[Ding~ Found that you can get ingredients! 】
【Grimace Mushroom】
[Capture level: 2]
[Growth place: Vicious rainforest in Hengduan Mountains]
[Introduction: Mushrooms that grow in rainforests full of poisons. Unprocessed spores are highly toxic. They are a high-end ingredient that can only be obtained by gourmet hunters. A rare and top-notch seasoning in the soup, just a few spores are enough.
Let the freshness of the soup reach a new level...】
[Food effects: Rich in fiber, vitamins, etc.. Nourishes the body, nourishes yang, and strengthens the body and kidneys.]
Zhang Wei let out a light sigh and said with a little playfulness: "The Collection Hall was actually triggered?"
"This picky guy is taking such initiative for the first time."
Taking a deep breath, I softly called the Collection Hall in my mind.
The next second, the ice wall and snow wall disappeared.
Flying eaves and brackets, black tiles and red columns...
On the huge palace plaque, there are three characters "Treasure Hall" written on it.
The dark hall can be reached at a glance, and it looks very much like the exhibition hall of the Forbidden City, or the main hall where the emperor went to court.
Kitchen facilities such as countertops, stoves, sinks, etc. are all available.
There is an eternal flame burning on the stove, and the water seems to be endless.
There are more than 200 booths erected on both sides of the main hall, most of which are for cooking, and only a small number of top-quality ingredients can be included.
These are the collections that Zhang Wei is most proud of.
Yellow-lipped fish bladder on the southeast coast...
Liao ginseng, the first of the eight delicacies in the sea...
Kobe A5 frosty beef...
Italian Alba white truffles…
Blue Flag Tuna…
Every time you take it out, diners and chefs will go crazy for it.
For example, ordinary French foie gras, matsutake, etc., the collection hall has no response at all.
And these diners, the chef's dream, are just ordinary things to Zhang Wei.
All ingredients and dishes stored in the Collection Hall will be perfectly replicated after a certain period of time.
Repeated storage will improve the information on the ingredients. Not only will the quality of the stored items be aligned with the highest level, but the copying cycle will also be shortened.
For example, in his previous life, Zhang Wei had obtained Blue Flag Tuna four times, and the reproduction time was shortened from thirty days to nineteen and a half days.
The bluefin tuna in the showcase combines the advantages of all four and is extremely fat.
In addition to ingredients and dishes, Zhang Wei's collection also includes kitchen utensils with the world's top craftsmanship.
Clothing, spatulas, knives, etc...
These are Zhang Wei's full memories, and he has put a lot of effort into each one.
The mind exited the collection hall, and only thirty seconds passed outside.
The flow of time inside and outside is ten times faster.
He looked to the side at Kameda Yakuzo, who was handling the Grimace Mushroom with caution.
His knife skills are surprisingly good. In his previous life, the three-star chef had no major problems.
But even so, he was still unable to cope with the Grimace Mushroom, and his frozen fingers even trembled slightly.
"Hey, table 118, don't be in a daze!"
"If you delay the construction period, I don't need to say more about the punishment, right?"
Zhang Wei smiled softly: "Don't be anxious, learn from the experience of your peers, it won't take long."
His words were neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice and tone were confident and relaxed.
In this strict level of ice hell... it's really rare.
The supervisor was a little unhappy.
The official level suppresses people to death. Isn't this group of workers respectful?
Just a handyman who died at some point!
The supervisor is also at the bottom of Ice Hell.
Except that they don't have to work, their daily life is no different from that of handymen like Zhang Wei, and the cold will kill them.
But fortunately, with labor comparison, life seems to be going well.
The supervisor said quietly: "If you can't complete the task today, you will have to be whipped!"
Under the incomprehensible look of the supervisor, Zhang Wei picked up the Grimace Mushroom again.
Taking a deep breath, I was thinking about the reminder information of the Treasure Hall and recalling Kameda Yakuzo's method of handling it.
"I like darkness...the roots are moist...cut along the grain of the stem..."
"Gently...press the four corners of the mushroom umbrella..."
"The cyst has a thin film... pull it gently from top to bottom..."
Without any distractions, Zhang Wei focused all his physical and mental energy on processing the ingredients in front of him.
He rubbed his frozen hands to make them more flexible.
Ignoring the surroundings, all the energy and energy are concentrated in one place.
The thread knife in the hand slowly penetrates into the gap between the sacs, and the sharp steel wire is used to cut out the sacs...
"Huh~"
Finish!
The first time I handled it, the speed was no less than that of Kameda Yakuzo standing next to me!
After all, Zhang Wei is the man who once surpassed Blue Star and Halberd Eater Spirit!
The more high-end ingredients, the longer it takes to replicate.
The one that Zhang Wei copied the longest was the yellow-lipped fish bladder from the Zhuhai port of the Yangtze River, which he only obtained once in his life.
Blue Star's top-quality ingredients only take 35 days to replicate.
As expected of the world of gourmet food, it was easily conquered!
Zhang Wei didn't know that food with capture grade was extremely rare in this world.
How come all the food ingredients are delivered here?
But it doesn’t matter. Repeated storage can reduce the copying time. There are still many mushrooms.
Looking at the remaining three Grimace Mushrooms, Zhang Wei suddenly became interested...
