Chapter 36 Making Legendary Douban Sauce
Chen Chong scattered in the crowd for a long time. In addition to some exaggerated words, it can be basically confirmed that the time when the security guard called the police was around 11:30 pm. In other words, it has not been more than two hours since now!
In such a short time, ordinary people will definitely not be able to get to the scene of the crime, because there are many police officers and even cordons are set up around them.
"It seems that we can only come back tomorrow." Chen Chong had no choice but to go home first to recover his vitality.
Half an hour later, Chen Chong was lying on the bed and tossing and turning, and Wang Mao's face always appeared in his mind. It was not the hideous and terrifying image, but the sunny smiling face full of vitality and energy.
"I clearly met during the day, but in just half a day, I lost my people!"
Chen Chong was a little depressed, especially when he thought of the sentence in the task, "On the eve of his life, he was always thinking about the orders that had not been delivered yet," and he felt a sense of self-blame for no reason.
"If Wang Mao was more tactful, not so persistent, or dragged his work to the next day to complete, will it change the ending?"
No one can give an answer, this is a question that will never be solved.
He closed his eyes gently and subconsciously clenched his fists. He turned this problem into an obsession, an obsession that must be revealed by the murderer.
...
The next day, Chen Chong got up early, washed up briefly, and headed straight to the advertising company. Unfortunately, although the police had already withdrawn, there were many people coming and going to work in the office building, and the topics they talked about were also about Wang Mao's death.
"It's a bit unrealistic to want to enter the murder scene during the day without attracting attention."
There was no choice but Chen Chong had to give up and prepare to come back tonight.
The reason why I am so anxious to complete the task is that I am obsessed with it, and the other is that I can gain a lot of bad luck after completing it! He urgently needs this thing, which is related to legendary Doubans.
Leaving the office building, riding a bicycle to the vegetable market.
The vegetable market in the morning is the most lively time of the day. In order to select fresh ingredients and bargain, vendors and customers can be said to be "fighting wits and courage" and "doing everything to do". Everyone wants to win the best interests for themselves. That scene is like fighting a war!
If it were in the past, Chen Chong would have been a part of the main force, but now it is different. With the "ingredient identification technique", he can accurately distinguish the quality of the ingredients and does not have to worry about buying the "ingredients next day".
After choosing the ingredients you want as fast as possible, I did not forget to spend a lot of money to buy a few big fat fish. This is the ultimate trump card for negotiations with Black Cat tonight!
Although the black cat is actually a master of foxes and tiger power, it does have a deterrent effect on ghosts. If it is placed in the store, it can sleep more peacefully, so you don’t have to worry about a ‘person’ standing by the bedside in the middle of the night.
I returned to the store with two large bags of ingredients. When I was about to make legendary bean paste, a courier came outside the door and said that there was a courier that needed to sign for it by myself.
Chen Chong went out and saw, my god, this express delivery is probably too much!
"Sir, please confirm. If there is no problem, I will be ready to unload the goods." The courier guy stood next to the tricycle and said politely.
Chen Chong took the express delivery form and looked at it. The deliveryman was ‘a kitchen utensil manufacturer’. He suddenly understood the origin of these things.
Open the [Doom Game] without any trace and find the [Normal Mission] in [Daily Mission].
[Ordinary task: A eye-catching sign can only increase the presence of the restaurant and will not play a big role in the retention of customers. Therefore, you still need some small changes, so please customize your own exclusive tableware.]
He was not sure whether completing the unreceived tasks in advance would affect the reward distribution. In case of precautions, it would be better to collect them first. This is also a kind of opportunistic approach.
After all the goods were carried into the restaurant, Chen Chong couldn't wait to unpack the packaging, and it was full of brand new dishes.
I took out a white plate to check it out, and I saw four antique characters "Food Jianghu" printed on the bottom of the plate, which echoed the signboard, as if they were of the same lineage. The edges were decorated with green bamboo, and the colors were vivid and vivid.
Of course, in addition to this style, there are several different background colors, such as dark blue, dark brown, emerald green, etc. Different colors set off different foods.
Take the dark blue as an example. The patterns on it are mainly waves and seaweed. If seafood is served, it will add a lot of three-dimensionality to the food in the air, making diners feel like they are eating in the ocean.
Perhaps this illusion is slim, but this is the case with food. Only by focusing on details can we strive for excellence.
In addition to bowls and plates, there are also chopsticks.
It is slightly longer and thicker than ordinary chopsticks, and has a very texture when held in the hand. Although the material of the chopsticks is still wood, the shape is very alternative, breaking the traditional inherent concept and replacing it with roughness and irregularity. At first glance, I thought it was a branch that was broken off from the bamboo.
In general, Chen Chong was very satisfied! Using this set of tableware to dine, it felt quite original. And if the restaurant could be turned into a unified style, it would be even more perfect.
Unfortunately, I have no money and am very angry.
After replacing the new tableware, the exclamation mark flashed.
[Congratulations on completing the ordinary task and receiving the ‘authentic Mapo Tofu recipe’. The reward has been deposited in the prop warehouse, so you can go to check it out.]
Chen Chong licked his mouth. In addition to his lack of fame, the restaurant's current dilemma is that there are too few dishes, so this reward comes in time. And more importantly, as soon as you see new dishes, you feel excited.
He enjoys the cooking process more than eating.
However, before this, there was another very headache-inducing problem that needed to be solved! That was the production process of legendary bean paste.
It's not difficult, it's just that it's too time-consuming!
Chen Chong subconsciously glanced at the glutinous rice soaked last night and smiled bitterly.
The best time for soaking dyes in five-color glutinous rice is about ten hours, while the late fermentation time of legendary bean paste is hundreds of times that of the former!
That is between 10 and 12 months!
Therefore, he was anxious to have more doomsday values to maintain the blank period during this period.
"Have it over, just get through these few months!"
Chen Chong opened a bag containing five kilograms of moldy bean paste.
There are ready-made mold beans on the market, which are fermented with dry broad beans. Since this food is moldy and the quality difference is not large, Chen Chong directly bought the ready-made one.
Of course, it is not impossible to do it yourself. Divide the dried broad beans in half, soak them in the water for a night, drain the water, then wrap them in pumpkin leaves and ferment them in a cool place until mucor grows on the broad beans.
…
Chen Chong took a deep breath, took out a clean basin filled with water, and gently poured the moldy bean paste into it.
Production has begun.
