Chapter 13 Farmers Market
The time now is five o'clock in the morning.
Ma Lu set off at 4:59 pm, and exactly 12 hours had passed.
So he could only temporarily suppress his excitement, and went to the kitchen to take out all the ingredients.
During this outing, he harvested a total of 23 young flame lizards, 12 gray elephant shrews, 12 jumping jerboas, 6 two-headed jackals, 3 black-breasted chickens, and 2 horn-bellied black speed snakes. , and 1 sand-flying armadillo.
Except for the two-headed jackal, which is a 2-star ingredient, the rest are all 1-star ingredients.
These things almost filled the small kitchen of the rental house, and the strong smell of meat hit my face.
Old Wang followed him into the kitchen. Before Ma Lu could speak, he saw a metal round wire protruding from under his jacket and inserting it into the port on the left side of his bracelet.
"I will transfer the recipes to you now. You can use this as a basis to formulate and adjust the daily menu according to the ingredients on hand, and leave it to me to cook."
The entire transfer process It lasted for about ten seconds, and then Malu discovered that there was another function called recipes on the bracelet.
The first thing that pops up after clicking in is a sentence.
——There is no perfect chef in this universe, only chefs who are constantly chasing perfection.
Ma Lu touched his chin, "Hey, I always feel that the people who wrote these recipes are very harsh on me."
When Lao Wang saw Malu looking at him, he shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is. I left these recipes behind, and when I opened my eyes in this universe, they were in my sector."
"Okay, let me see what's inside first."
As Malu spoke, he continued to flip through the pages, and his attention was quickly attracted by the strange dishes inside.
“Ah, can three-winged cockroaches be eaten? Just looking at the name will make people feel bad.”
“Ma’s charcoal sulfur dry steaming, what is the method?
“And Huotong, what ingredient is this? "
Lao Wang reminded, "Some dishes cannot be cooked with our existing tools, and some dishes require special ingredients, which can be temporarily excluded. In addition, if you want to open a store immediately It is best not to choose dishes that require more pre-processing steps. Finally, and most importantly, remember to make full use of the search function. ”
Malu was also dazzled by all the strange dishes. Hearing this, he quickly entered the two-headed jackal in the search bar, and suddenly only 13 of the 999+ recipes were left.
Ma Lu looked at each dish one by one, and found that most of them did not meet the cooking requirements. They either required special tools, or some of the ingredients looked unfamiliar.
In the end, there are 5 recipes left that are currently available, and 3 of them are not suitable for selling on the street, so there are only two that are really available.
——[Jackal Grilled Sausage] and [Fried Jackal Patties]
Then Malu searched for the Flame Young Lizard again, and this time there were 7 recipes, and at this stage There are even fewer things to do, only [Mustard Lizard Tail] and [Young Lizard Kebab].
Theoretically, baby lizard skewers are quite suitable for selling at a stall, provided that someone can accept the lizard shape and not call the police.
Unfortunately, this possibility is very small. The lizard tails can be used as squid tentacles. Unfortunately, there are too few. 23 tails are not enough to make one plate.
Subsequently, Malu also imported black-breasted chicken, gray elephant shrew, jumping mouse, horn-bellied black speed snake and flying sand armadillo.
Among them, black breast chicken has the most recipes. It feels similar to chicken on earth and has a variety of cooking methods.
The gray elephant shrew and the jerboa look very similar, and to a certain extent they can be substituted for each other, making jerky with the best flavor, and in this way customers cannot see their original appearance, so they will not There will be a problem of the same style of kebabs for young lizards.
As for the horn-bellied black snake, it can be used to make snake soup or wine, and the final squid can be made into earthen pot broth. In addition, Malu also noticed the numbers below the recipes, which ranged from ones to hundreds.
“What is this?” Malu asked, pointing to the number 48 under [Fried Jackal Patties].
“Experience points.” Lao Wang replied.
“Experience value?”
"Yes, chef is a profession that requires repeated cooking to accumulate experience in order to continuously improve. I don't know where I reached before, but now I have experienced large-scale damage to sectors, and this part of the data has also followed They disappeared together and had to start from scratch.”
“Is that so? What’s the use of having high experience points?” The skill will be improved, you can unlock more recipes, and you can improve the existing dishes and increase the deliciousness index." "Delicious index?" Ma Lu saw [Fried Jackal Patties]. The following ★☆, "Ah, this is what you are talking about, so it means that you can make this dish one and a half times more delicious now. What is the concept of this?"
"Relying on the language system alone That’s an accurate answer to your question. Why don’t I make one for you to try, but you need to collect the remaining ingredients first.”
"Okay." Ma Lu also became interested after hearing this. He was hungry after being out hunting for so long.
Ma Lu remembered that there was a farmer's market less than two kilometers away from the community, but he didn't know if it was open at the moment.
He had never cooked before and rarely got up early. He had never paid attention to that place, but he couldn't sleep at the moment anyway, so he simply went over to take a look.
Going back home and changing into short-sleeved shorts, Ma Lu went downstairs and rode his newly purchased tricycle, heading straight to the farmer's market.
Contrary to his expectation, the farmer's market was not only open at 5:21 in the morning, but also very lively, with people and cars everywhere.
Among them, most of the people riding three-wheelers like him are vegetable vendors who come to deliver goods, and there are also trucks from large supermarkets and e-commerce platforms, pulling in truckloads of goods at the door.
Chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables and fruits are piled up in the market, and a group of people are just looking around and bargaining.
Ma Lu parked his tricycle in a random corner. Instead of rushing to buy groceries, he walked around the market to understand the market.
He focused on the price of meat. The current price of pork is still high. Even the cheapest part costs 13 yuan per pound. Ma Lu simply converted it, which means he brought it back during this trip. Meat worth at least three thousand dollars.
Looking at it this way, this trip was quite profitable. It’s a pity that the meat of unknown origin cannot be sold directly and can only be used for personal use.
While wandering around, Malu also met some colleagues, who seemed to be chefs or owners of local restaurants. They were treated like celebrities in this market.
No matter where they go, people will greet them, and those stall owners will also leave the real good products or the best parts to them.
So the competition between restaurants actually starts before they open for business.
Being able to purchase the best quality ingredients at the lowest price is equivalent to running 40 meters ahead in a 100-meter race.
Ma Lu scratched his head and felt that next time he went to the other side, he needed to learn some knowledge about meat quality from Boqi. Otherwise, the rating given by the bracelet alone would be too general, even if it was all meat. The taste of different parts is quite different.
Feeling that he was done shopping, Malu bought all the ingredients and seasonings that Lao Wang needed according to the list, and rode a three-wheeler home.
