Chapter 210: Advanced Culinary
"My fish.", Mu Zijing looked at the boiling pot with regret.
In it was another dish she tried making: braised fish cubes.
The braised fish cubes were a dish she carefully prepared, but Ye Fei didn't expect Mu Zijin to use two pots at the same time given her beginner cooking skills.
How should he go on about it?
Still despite knowing her own cooking limitations, she continued to do all sorts of difficult intricacies in the kitchen.
At this time, Ye Fei looked at Mu Zijin with a smile on his face.
Seeing him, Mu Zijin lightly added: "Why are you still smiling!? My fish is burnt."
Ye Fei nonchalantly waved his hand and shrugged his shoulders "It's alright, just fry the fish again."
"No. I I bought a few fish, so you can make me a new one, or if you can't, just go outside and wait, don't bother me!," Mu Zijin remarked half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Mu Zijin has always taken things seriously, especially when it comes to cooking for her sweetheart, so she concentrated immensely.
Ye Fei softly remarked, after hearing Mu Zijin's words, "Why don't we cook together? I'll help you."
"Do you know how to cook?," Mu Zijing's autumnal eyes dilated as she gazed up and down at Ye Fei, slightly taken aback.
Her surprise originates from the fact that men who can cook are exceedingly rare in today's society.
In response to her surprise, Ye Fei smiled confidently and said, "Of course."
In his previous life, he could cook, but his level of cooking was only on the middle range of the spectrum.
However, as for now with his system, he could improve his skills effortlessly.
Thus, Ye Fei opened the attribute page of the system, and spent 100 million yuan to upgrade to advanced culinary proficiency.
After clicking on the [Upgrade] option near the skill, Ye Fei's brain was instantly overwhelmed with a plethora of culinary expertise and techniques.
To put it bluntly, Ye Fei became a top chef in an instant.
Knowing this, he smiled complacently and said, "If you don't believe me, then Zijin, we can compare."
"Oh? Are you that sure of yourself?," When Mu Zijin heard Ye Fei challenge her, she became a little intrigued.
Prior to this, the boxing match between the two did not have a victor or a loser, but with 100% surety, Mu Zijin's martial arts skills were slightly inferior at the time.
Then the two did a swimming competition, but Mu Ziin lost to Ye Fei.
It can be said that Mu Zijin didn't have the upper hand in these few competitions with Ye Fei.
But regardless of the outcome, the various matches they had made Mu Zijin admire and respect Ye Fei, and wanted to try any other fields he was proficient in.
Thinking of this, Mu Zijin agreed: "Let's try it. It just so happens that I own two stoves, the other is by my side."
Seeing Mu Zijin raise her pretty face and looking slightly unconvinced, Ye Fei deliberately remarked, "Why don't we make a bet?."
"What kind of bet?," Mu Zijin stared at him with her bright eyes, but she knew Ye Fei's subtle intention.
What a perverted man!
Despite that, Ye Fei whispered a few words in Mu Zijin's ear, and the next moment, Mu Zijin's face bloomed into a red crimson shade.
He is so daring!...
Mu Zijin's eyes flickered as she thought for a while, then bit her lip and promised: "Hmph, I'm not afraid of you!."
With her agreement, Ye Fei's smile widened, "At the moment when I finish cooking, don't complain. Also if you really think it is delicious, don't be too greedy, okay?."
"No! I don't believe that you can make a dish that amazing!. If it doesn't taste good, I won't eat your cooking for a while," Mu Zijin groaned slightly, deliberately pretending to be angry at Ye Fei.
What made this bad guy think of such a ridiculous bet!
Anyway, I must beat him!
Mu Zijin grinned cutely and radiated confidence. She believed Ye Fei was bluffing and his cooking skills were about the same as hers, so it wouldn't be possible for her to lose to this bad guy.
With that, the culinary competition began.
For Mu Zijin, she chose to make braised fish cubes again, ignoring the element of surprise.
Ye Fei, however, chose two well-known dishes: a fish-flavored shredded pork and sweet and sour pork ribs.
In general, the two dishes weren't difficult to make and regardless of skill, even a beginner can make these two home-cooked dishes delicious, it depended mostly on how well you mixed the ingredients.
The first step Ye Fei took to make the fish-flavored shredded pork was preparing the shredded pork, carrots, green peppers, onions, fungus and all of the other side dishes.
His knife skills are of course extremely sharp, and his technique is fast and clean.
Although Mu Zijin who was by his side felt a little surprised at this, she was still not convinced of his cooking abilities. After all, she knew that Ye Fei trained in martial arts and it was natural to perform actions like those.
Still, Mu Zijin had a bad premonition in her heart, it shouldn't be that Ye Fei is actually proficient in cooking, right?.
Seeing Ye Fei's skillful movements made Mu Zijin a little flustered, especially when she thought of the bet just now.
Ye Fei showed off by stirring the pot, adding bean paste, salt, soy sauce and other ingredients, and then stir-frying the pan in the span of a minute!
This made Mu Zijin immediately aware that Ye Fei had hidden his talent.
Looking at his level of culinary skills, at least to her it looked like a professional chef!
Mu Zijin immediately understood that she had been fooled, and actually agreed to this bad guy to compete with him in cooking.
It seemed Ye Fei had placed a trap and waited like a calm hunter.
After finishing stir-frying the shredded fish-flavored pork, Ye Fei quickly put the fried dishes on their respective plates, and then began to make the next dish, sweet and sour ribs.
Firstly to make sweet and sour pork ribs, he had to first remove the blood from the ribs, and while doing so, he was very quick.
Mu Zijin could see the corners of his mouth smiling greedily, and she knew more clearly that Ye Fei had everything under control.
It wasn't until Ye Fei finished the sweet and sour pork ribs that Mu Zijin's braised fish cubes were completed.
For the result, Ye Fei cooked two dishes, and Mu Zijin only cooked one.
And more importantly, his fish-flavored pork shreds seemed to be really fragrant, and the aroma was lingering and tangy.
As for the sweet and sour pork ribs, it's unusual as the dish exuded a tempting aroma.
The fragrance is overflowing, and the presentation of both dishes made it more appetizing.
When Ye Fei put the two dishes on the table, Mu Zijin couldn't help but look at them both, thinking how delicious it'll be.
What's more, when she compared her dish to them at a glance, she couldn't help but back away, secretly swallowing her saliva.
"Why don't you try it? I made it specially for you. It would be a pity if you don't taste it," Ye Fei chuckled.
Regardless of how it tasted, Ye Fei was very confident in his cooking skills. Originally, his competence was not bad, and with the help of the system, he was instantly comparable to a celebrity 5-star chef.
Hearing what Ye Fei said, Mu Zijin couldn't hold back and took a pair of chopsticks and started to eat the shredded fish-flavored pork, swallowing it with her small mouth, and chewed carefully.
The moment Mu Zijin ate the fish-flavored pork shreds, her eyes widened in surprise.
This is too fragrant!
While chewing, Mu Zijin understood the shredded pork is smooth and delicate, and there was a hint of elasticity. The taste of the other side dishes complemented each other and the fragrance overflowed her mouth.
Mu Zijin couldn't help but pick up a piece of the sweet and sour pork ribs. After tasting it carefully, she could feel the warmth and how it melted in her mouth.
It all stirred her taste buds, it tasted sweet but not greasy, and the delicate refreshing taste lingered.
The sweet and sour pork ribs are better than fish-flavored shredded pork!
Mu Zijin couldn't help but stretch her hand to grab another spare rib, and Ye Fei couldn't help laughing while watching.
Look at how Mu Zijin ate!
"How about it, I won the bet, right?," Ye Fei asked with a shallow smile.
It's time for Mu Zijin to do her part!
