Chapter 1 Fried rice worth 10,000 yuan

At nine-thirty in the evening, the Hengjie of Luju Road in Yangcheng City was bustling with activity.

Food stalls are lined up one after another, forming a small food street.

All the stalls were crowded with people, and some even had long queues.

Only an inconspicuous stall at the end of the alley was empty, with no one around.

There was only a young boss, about in his early twenties, standing alone behind the stall.

Two beauties passing by were attracted by the boss's outstanding appearance and the clean, polished stove.

But when they saw the signboard above the food stall, they all stopped in their tracks.

They covered their mouths and whispered in surprise.

"Did I read that correctly? It's 10,000 yuan per portion? There's no decimal point?"

"Is this boss crazy? A street fried rice guy dares to sell it for 10,000 yuan! Is his rice fried with gold?"

As they spoke, their eyes suddenly turned contemptuous when they looked at the boss, as if they were seeing a madman robbing money.

They spoke loudly, and Li Yi could hear them completely.

But he just stood behind the stall with his hands behind his back, looking at the clean stove and thinking deeply.

It has been a month since he traveled to this world.

This is a world very similar to Earth, with similar history and culture.

It’s just that the live broadcast industry is particularly prosperous and makes money the fastest.

In this world, he is also a game anchor.

But because I was too good at it, I started from brass to king, and after one year I fell to black, so I never had any audience.

After he traveled through time, he originally planned to change his career and become a programmer just like in his previous life.

But that night after traveling through time, he unexpectedly entered a mysterious space.

He entered that space after falling asleep. In that space, he became an apprentice in the ancient imperial kitchen, learning to cook [Supreme Emperor's Fried Rice] from a master named Song.

He stayed in that space for seven years.

But after learning [Supreme Emperor Fried Rice] and returning to reality, he discovered that reality had only passed for one night.

He originally thought it was just a very real dream, but beside his bed, there was a bag of rice, a can of chicken fat, and a bag of dried seafood.

Those are the raw materials in the dream space and the imperial dining room!

Recalling that dream space, he still remembered Master Song's words clearly.

"Sauteing is the most basic cooking technique, but it is also the most important. It tests the chef's understanding of the ingredients and the control of the heat."

"Your master, I have been in the palace for twenty-seven years, and I can only make this fried rice."

"But there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial kitchen. Why is it that out of the eighty-one kitchen stoves, one is mine?"

"Fried rice is the simplest meal, and it is also cooked in ordinary people's homes. But if you study it to a very deep level, there is a lot of knowledge in it. You! You are not yet good at it, but you still have to learn!"

Li Yi counted the days. He stayed in that dream for seven years just to learn how to make this dish [Supreme Emperor Fried Rice].

During those seven years, he practiced hard day and night and cooked tens of thousands of fried rice before he finally cooked the perfect "Supreme Emperor Fried Rice".

And the master in his dream also gave him one last task.

"You have passed my test, but what I say doesn't count. You have to pass the test of His Majesty's emperor's tongue."

"Only when His Majesty is satisfied with the meal, can it be considered the real [Supreme Emperor's Fried Rice]."

"Come on! Make another one! Send it to Your Majesty. If I can get a reward of ten thousand gold from Your Majesty, then I can safely pass on my mantle to you."

After receiving the ingredients from the master, he woke up.

But in real time, only one night passed.

When he first came back, he was still a little confused.

Didn't he ask him to make fried rice for the emperor? Why did he come back suddenly?

But he soon understood.

Do princes and generals like Xiang Ning have the guts?

Every diner is an emperor!

Since escaping from the dream, he has never entered that mysterious space again. In the next few days, he slept until he woke up naturally.

Obviously, he can't go back until he completes his mission.

So, he spent all his savings, ordered a food truck, and changed his career to become a fried rice host.

The task given to him by his master was to get a reward of ten thousand gold.

Gold in ancient times was actually copper, and ten thousand gold was equivalent to ten thousand penny.

Based on the ratio of one penny to one dollar, he would have to sell a portion of fried rice for 10,000 yuan.

This is undoubtedly a very expensive fried rice.

But if you look at the ingredients, the price of this fried rice is really not expensive.

That bag of tribute rice was specially used to make the emperor's fried rice in the imperial kitchen. It was all new rice shipped from Wannian County in Jiangxi Province by special ship, and it was carefully selected one by one. The grains were large and plump.

Two meters cost the same as gold.

And that bag of dry goods also contained the finest Liao ginseng, half a head of top-quality dried abalone, billiard ball-sized scallops, etc.

These ingredients alone are worth far more than 10,000 yuan.

This does not include the hard work he spent in the dream for seven years.

Therefore, even if a portion of [Supreme Emperor Fried Rice] sells for 10,000 yuan, he feels that he has lost money!

However, in order to complete the task, he still set the price of fried rice at 10,000 yuan a portion.

However, fried rice worth 10,000 yuan per serving is obviously not affordable for ordinary people.

He ran the stall for a week and didn't sell a single piece of fried rice.

I glanced at my phone. The live broadcast room was showing on the screen. The number of people in the upper right corner showed: 18.

The room title is eight large characters.

"Life is not easy, the God of Cooking shows off his skills"!

Live broadcast announcement: Today’s menu [Supreme Emperor Fried Rice] is 10,000 yuan per portion, fried and eaten now, no takeaways.

Looking at the live broadcast room with only a dozen people, Li Yi sighed secretly in his heart.

When will we be able to sell a copy of [Supreme Emperor Fried Rice]?

In the live broadcast room, several barrages slowly passed by.

"Ten thousand yuan for a portion of fried rice. Why are you trying to steal the money?"

"God of Cooking? You have such a loud voice! Please allow the Jade Emperor to allow me to challenge him to a duel!"

"The host obviously could have snatched it, but he gave him a bowl of fried rice. It was considered a conscientious thing."

"I didn't expect that I couldn't even afford fried rice."

"Only someone who has been taken advantage of will eat fried rice worth NT$10,000!"

"I started watching it a week ago. This anchor just stands there every day when the show starts. It's been a week and he hasn't sold a single piece of fried rice."

"I understand, it must be performance art! It satirizes this world where consumerism is prevalent!"

"..."

Li Yi didn't see these barrages. He had already turned around and wiped the stove again.

For a top chef's stove, cleanliness comes first.

After wiping the stove carefully again, Li Yi looked up at the long queues in front of other stalls and the empty stall in front of him, and shook his head slightly.

It seems that today is another busy day in vain.

At the same time, several people walked into the alley at the entrance.

Someone was holding a fill light, and someone was holding a camera. The person walking in front was a fat man with a big head, a round face, and a slicked back hairdo.

People on both sides recognized him and greeted him one after another.

"Old Tang! I am your fan!"

"Can I take a picture with you?"

This person is a very popular food blogger named Tang Renjie. He was a chef by training and was originally the head chef of the Western restaurant at the Sheraton Hotel.

He has tens of millions of fans all over the Internet and is very popular.

Old Tang laughed along with him, took photos with the fans, and asked by the way: "I heard that there is a fried rice here that sells for 10,000 yuan a piece. Is it true?"

"real!"

The fan was a girl. She raised her finger and pointed at the end of the alley: "I just saw it when I came here with my friends. It really sells for 10,000 yuan a copy!"

"As long as you have it, that's what I'm here to take pictures of today."

Old Tang turned around, stood facing the camera, and recorded the title: "There are many coins to be found in the store. The real and fake cooks said that some fans said that there is a food stall in an alley here, and they actually dare to sell it for 10,000 yuan."

A portion of fried rice! Let’s see today what kind of fried rice can be sold for 10,000 yuan! Let’s go! Take a look!”
