If you become a monster, you will succeed

"Tsk, this doesn't work. Abalone and black sesame don't go together at all. The fragrance of bamboo is too elegant, but it completely highlights the fishy smell. The coordination is too low."

Feng Xue took the black bun in her hand and put it back on the plate, with a look of disgust on her face.

With the help of molecular cuisine technology in the cyberpunk world, Feng Xue was chewing on various recipes while using molecular cuisine technology to recreate various delicacies in her memory.

I don’t know if it is due to the differences in world development. The development of cooking skills in this world is much stronger than in the current world. Perhaps it is because the peace has been around for a long time. The martial arts used for fighting a hundred years ago have now spread into thousands of households. Compared with those As someone who relies on physical strength, being a chef can be said to be the most successful profession for a martial artist.

Ordinary home-cooked dishes are just that, but when it comes to high-end ingredients, they often require the coordination of various internal forces and techniques, which even opened the eyes of Feng Xue, the "Martial Ancestor", and occasionally exclaimed, "This thing can still be so neat."

However, the development of martial arts cannot make up for the generation gap in technology. The Vajra Palm and the Monument Slammer may be able to surpass the modern crushing machine, but compared with the black technology of the cyber world, they can only be disappointed. This is not a technical problem, it is purely It's the difference in vision.

Just like in modern times, a large number of famous chefs use exhaustive methods to combine the flavors of various common ingredients to calculate food compatibility and create so-called flavor wheels. And any of these combinations, not to mention ancient times, even if it is several Ten years ago, in modern times, there were all secrets that could be passed down as the inheritance of a certain family.

This is true for modern times in modern times, and it is naturally the same for modern times towards future technologies in the cyber world.

Modern people can discover the secret of the umami flavor contained in glutamic acid and nucleotides, and in the future, there will naturally be no shortage of emerging spices that are constantly being introduced.

And this is the only advantage Feng Xue has found that allows her to overtake in corners in terms of cooking skills.

Now, he is trying to use martial arts and magic techniques to replicate what molecular cooking instruments can do, and then use these theories from the cyber world in making pastry.

However, when it comes to pastries, in addition to taste, we cannot ignore all kinds of creativity, color, flavor, and shape.

A well-known commentator once said that innovation means entering other people's works and then stepping out of other people's works.

Feng Xue naturally follows the good, so he is trying to get into other people's works.

The first thing he walked into were the countless classic two-dimensional dishes in his past life memories.

Not to mention the actual taste, it can all be seasoned later. First of all, it is interesting enough, which is the core of innovation.

Lobster dumplings with scallops, Golden Smile, Guoshi’s Unparalleled Noodles, Golden Ratio Shaomai, Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Soul-Souling Steamed Bun...

Each dish was reproduced according to the description of the original work, from appearance to creativity to taste, and he pushed upwards bit by bit, from just having the same shape, to being able to be eaten, and then to tasting good. This little bit of transformation , is Feng Xue’s improvement in his cooking skills.

However, although most of the recipes can be made passable through future technology and martial arts, there are still some that cannot meet the delicious standards no matter what.

For example, this Sishen Seafood Eight Treasures Soul-Soothing Steamed Bun, the freshness of the seafood and the soft dough really don't go well together. No matter how you season it, in Feng Xue's opinion, these seafood are more suitable for steaming directly. If not, it's better to cook a pot of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. , even if you really need a staple food, it should be served with rice or a thin hot dough that can perfectly complement the fillings, rather than a fluffy dough fermented with thousand-year-old noodles, which will not only suppress the taste of the seafood, but also The fishy smell is highlighted to an extent that is hard to ignore.

"Skip this."

After taking a pityful look at the fillings in the buns, Feng Xue continued to try other pastries.

These snacks include "Cui", which is said to be laborious and time-consuming, and "Mountain", which can be changed at your fingertips. Of course, there are also "Dumplings", which are simple but full of changes, and "Cake", which is known as the ancestor of all kinds of noodles. .

…

"It's almost time."

Feng Xue had been in seclusion for more than half a month. When he finally completed his cooking skills and was able to turn the functions of all molecular cooking equipment into martial arts, the Longmen Pastry Competition finally arrived on the eve of its opening.

"It's almost time to go to the preliminaries."

Feng Xue put the ingredients she had prepared into her backpack and took out a flying skateboard.

He stepped on the skateboard with both feet, and as he pressed the remote control bracelet on his index finger, the skateboard immediately slowly lifted into the air. Then, thick white mist spurted out from under the skateboard, and under the action of the stabilizer, it hovered in the air. Around skateboarding.

Pressing the push rod lightly, the skateboard under his feet immediately rushed forward. Under the white cloud, Feng Xue seemed to be flying through the clouds.

The effect of this privately customized individual aircraft named "Somersault Cloud" was surprisingly good. While Feng Xue was piloting it and taking off, the entries bred in the fire of strange stories grew by two points again...

…

Seeing that Longmen Square was in front of her, Feng Xue immediately pressed down her clouds and landed on the roadside. She chanted the four-character mantra "Ah, right, right, right" and walked straight towards a facade at the entrance of the square.

The competition system of the Longmen Pastry Competition is very simple. As long as you go to Longmen Square before the start of the main competition, you can participate in the preliminaries countless times. After passing, you can get a place in the finals.

The content of the assessment is also very simple——

Set up a stall in Longmen Square.

As for how to evaluate whether it has passed, only the competition committee knows. However, the evaluation standards will be packaged before the game, and the entire process will be video recorded for post-game inspection, so there is no need to worry about behind-the-scenes operations.

"The last one was the number of repeat customers, the last one was the uniformity of meals, and the last one was the total sales in one day..."

Recalling the information he had found before, Feng Xue arrived at Longmen Square and found the office of the organizing committee.

"Hello, are you here to participate in the preliminaries? Please tell me your registration ID and identity information."

When the young lady at the front desk saw Feng Xue coming forward, she asked familiarly before he could speak. Feng Xue immediately took out her graduation certificate and said:

"I am Sun Wukong, a graduate of Fangcunshan Chef Training Academy. This is my ID."

"Okay, please wait." The young lady at the front desk typed quickly on the keyboard with both hands, and quickly found his registration information. After verifying his identity, the staff on the side immediately launched a mobile booth. The young lady Looking at the simple ingredients Feng Xue took out from his bag, he hesitated and said:

"Contestant Sun Wukong, our competition will record the progress of each contestant. If you leave the camera range during the preliminaries, you will be deemed to have given up the competition. Are you sure you don't need to prepare anymore?"

Today, the Dota 2 client rankings are inexplicably easy to queue up. Normally, you can’t get into the queue within a few minutes. Why are there people suddenly there today? Does anyone know why (playing dumb)?
