It's half past four in the morning.

It's just dawn.

The air was cool with dew.

Lin Xu rode a shared bicycle energetically and headed along the empty streets to Yingchun Street.

Come to the Chunfeng Vegetable Market at the end of Yingchun Street.

He started purchasing the ingredients for today.

“What’s the price of tomatoes?”

"Two dollars and three."

"Just pick?"

"Pick whatever you want, just don't cut it into pieces."

"Don't worry, my hands are gentle."

Lin Xu held a large plastic bag and began to select the tomatoes for today one by one.

The cooking skills of the system reward include experience in selecting ingredients.

Otherwise, Lin Xu really doesn’t know how to choose.

In his opinion.

The ingredients at all stalls are similar.

But with the support of the system.

The pros and cons of various ingredients will become clear.

Such as tomatoes.

Choose one that is round in size, uniform in color, and slightly concave at the top.

Such tomatoes are called female tomatoes.

It is naturally ripe.

Those tomatoes that are green or red in color, not round in size, and have a convex top are called male tomatoes.

Most of these tomatoes are ripened using ripening agents.

The taste is sour and tastes bad.

There is a big difference from ripe tomatoes.

After picking more than ten kilograms of tomatoes.

Lin Xu chose another basket of relatively fresh wood-fired eggs and some condiments, onions, ginger, garlic and other ingredients.

Then he came to the dried vegetable stall.

Start selecting the ingredients for making spicy spicy noodles.

"Boss, do you have the northwest hot pepper?"

Excellent-grade spicy oil requires three types of dried chili peppers.

One is the line pepper from the northwest, also called Qin pepper spicy noodles, the other is the Chaotian pepper from the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, and the other is the new generation from the Central Plains.

Xian Chili Fragrance, Chaotian Chili Spicy, New Generation Red.

Each of the three types of chili peppers has its own special powers.

Only then can you make a bowl of spicy and attractive red oily chili.

After Lin Xu selected three types of dried chili peppers.

Ask the store to help process it into chili powder.

The chili peppers should be ground into coarse powder so that the chili seeds are more complete and the flavor is stronger.

Chaotian pepper should be ground into medium powder, which is more conducive to the penetration of spiciness.

The new generation needs to be ground into fine powder, so that the capsaicin can be better fried, making the spicy seeds appear more red and attractive.

After grinding the chili powder.

Lin Xu saw a small shop selling lard next to him.

Picked another can of lard.

If you want the oily chili seeds to taste fragrant, rapeseed oil alone won't do it. You have to add some lard.

This way the scent will be more intense and lasting.

But if you add too much lard, it will solidify.

So you only need to put one-quarter to one-fifth of the rapeseed oil.

After all the ingredients are purchased.

Lin Xu hired a tricycle.

Send all the purchased ingredients to the store.

Then he threw himself into the intense preparation work.

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

The dough is ready.

Spicy pepper and tomato and egg toppings are also ready.

Lin Xu placed the electronic blackboard with food prices written on it behind the door.

Today's business officially begins!
Chapter completed!
