Chapter 246 Making Ingredients
Bai Xiaobai was in a daze at first, but when he heard the cool electronic sound, he woke up completely with a jolt.

I heard the system announce that the new product is 'Super Mapo Tofu'.

After all, the dish of mapo tofu is a classic of Sichuan cuisine. Bai Xiaobai is very familiar with it, but he has never made it himself. His father never sold it before his death, so it is both familiar and unfamiliar food.

It's just that the system puts the word "Super" in front of this delicacy. At first glance, it looks a bit tacky, but it still looks very arrogant.

I don't know how it is different from ordinary mapo tofu.

Bai Xiaobai thought to himself.

At the same time, the cool electronic sound continued to resound in his mind.

[Super Mapo Tofu upgrade time is expected to be 38 hours, the countdown officially begins]

After the electronic sound is over.

A large piece of golden text instantly turned into a golden streamer, entangled heavily in Bai Xiaobai's mind, shining with dazzling golden light, and was slowly absorbed.

B-level gourmet food upgrades are different, and even the way the golden text is absorbed is different from D and C-level difficulty.

Bai Xiaobai settled down and counted the time.

It takes 38 hours to upgrade the new product Super Mapo Tofu. After the completion, it is estimated that the official cooking competition is less than an hour away. I am really in a hurry.

But Bai Xiaobai is determined and plans to compete with new products.

Bai Xiaobai asked a very important question.

"System, before the new product is upgraded, can you provide the ingredients first?"

According to Bai Xiaobai's calculation.

Starting from the store, even if you drive slowly to Honghui Plaza, the venue of the competition, it will take at least 10 minutes, and this does not rule out special situations that may be encountered on the road.

Time is tight.

If the system can provide the ingredients in advance, he can take the ingredients with him, take the car to the competition venue first, and then calmly wait for the new product to be upgraded, and then officially compete in cooking food.

With a cool electronic voice, he replied with an incredible sentence:

[The system can pre-provide most of the ingredients needed by the host for new products, but this time, the host will not directly provide the tofu as the main ingredient, and the host will complete the production by himself. 】

Make food by yourself?

Bai Xiaobai was slightly taken aback.

The system has always provided the ingredients directly. Before that, at most, it was to make the condiment supreme chili sauce. I didn't expect this time to be so special.

He actually asked him to grind the tofu himself.

Bai Xiaobai actually felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, he only knows how to eat tofu, so how can he grind tofu?

Don't look at tofu, it seems that soy milk is coagulated with some coagulants such as gypsum.In fact, the production process of tofu is not easy, and the skills of the craftsmen are very important. If it is not done well, the tofu may turn into bean curd at the lightest level, or become tofu dregs at the worst level.

Generally, tofu grinding is a family-style manual workshop, which is passed down from father to son, and from generation to generation.

Without anyone's guidance, it is almost wishful thinking to make high-quality tofu in one go.

The system seemed to understand Bai Xiaobai's mind.

[After the host upgrades Xiaocheng, the production of ingredients is unlocked.By making top-level ingredients, not only can the food burst out with an unprecedented taste, but it can also allow the host to further understand the characteristics of the ingredients, which is of great benefit to the host’s cognition of ingredients and the improvement of auxiliary cooking skills.After the tofu production method is upgraded, the host will have a deep grasp of this handicraft. 】

Bai Xiaobai fully agrees with these viewpoints of the system.

A person who can only cook delicious food, no matter how good he is, can only be called a chef, it's just that the level of the previous crowns is different.

But if the chef can deeply understand the different properties of different ingredients, and even make some necessary ingredients and semi-finished products by himself, then it is not as simple as a chef, but a real chef.

Bai Xiaobai's goal is obviously the latter.

Now that the system has shown that after the upgrade of the tofu making method, it will have a deep grasp of this handicraft.

Bai Xiaobai was full of anticipation, and asked, "System, when can the tofu, the ingredient this time, be officially made?"

The system replied:
[The method of making tofu is in the gold word of the upgrade. Its upgrade will be completed earlier than the upgrade of the new product. It is expected to unlock the method of making tofu in 35 hours. 】

According to the system, it takes 38 hours to upgrade the new Super Mapo Tofu, and in the 35th hour, you can officially learn how to make tofu ingredients.

After careful calculation, tofu can be made around 11 o'clock in the morning on the 5th.

This cooking competition, the number of judges is five.

The amount of tofu for five people is not troublesome to make, and it should be relatively fast. If there is no accident, the system will definitely provide corresponding black technology to help speed up the production speed.

Of course, apart from deciding to use Super Mapo Tofu for the competition, Bai Xiaobai also made two preparations.

If the new product is really too late in time, use the dishes you have so far to participate in the competition.

In short, details determine success or failure, Bai Xiaobai thinks very carefully, and tries his best to consider all possible emergencies.

After everything about the cooking competition was considered, Bai Xiaobai's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he gradually fell asleep.

Business as usual the next day.

Except for Lan Weihao, the rest of the old customers seem to be unaware that there will be a grand cooking competition in Jianghai Honghui Plaza tomorrow.

Naturally, Bai Xiaobai would not take the initiative to promote tomorrow's competition with customers.

He just wants to play in a low-key manner, and making it too grand is not in line with his personality at all.

In this way, in the busyness, the whole day gradually passed.

Before going to bed at night, Bai Xiaobai specially set the alarm clock on the bedside table to 5 o'clock in the morning.The method of making tofu ingredients should be almost upgraded by then.

In addition, because I will participate in a cooking competition tomorrow and I have to get up early in the morning to grind tofu, I will definitely not be able to open for breakfast in the morning.

Bai Xiaobai posted a message on the WeChat public account:
Tomorrow morning, due to something, we will suspend business. Whether we can open normally at noon will be notified later.

Bai Xiaobai's suspension of business for no reason caused many old customers to speculate about what happened, and they all left messages below.

Bai Xiaobai didn't see the message.

In order to be able to compete with full energy tomorrow, after posting the news, he drank a cup of warm fresh milk and took a rest early.

However, by the time all regular customers know what happened, Xiaobai Restaurant will have a different look. This is a story.

……

Finally came the day of the cooking competition.

Early that morning, Bai Xiaobai got up early, and didn't even ring the alarm clock that was set at five o'clock.

After getting up, brushing my teeth and washing my face, it was almost five o'clock.

A cool electronic voice sounded in Bai Xiaobai's mind.

[The production method of tofu ingredients has been officially upgraded. The raw materials and black technology equipment are ready, and the host can officially make tofu. 】

Finally the upgrade is complete.

Bai Xiaobai was in a happy mood, whistled, pulled on a pair of slippers, and happily went downstairs.

Swiping his face and entering the glass kitchen, he began to officially try to make system ingredients for the first time!
