Gourmets of the Heavens - Chapter 617: Xie Family's Inheritance
Unlike the frequent chaos outside, since Zhao Youqian returned to Jie’s ancestral house, it was destined that no one would dare to disturb him.
What’s more, Zhao Youqian is quite familiar with this place. He has studied cooking here for at least ten years before, and the elders here also watched him grow up.
So after the ancestor worship was completed, Zhao Youqian lived here with peace of mind.
He was going to rest until the Chinese New Year, and then go to his teacher’s side, so as not to waste his energy with a bunch of messy things outside.
In fact, he had already been distracted by too many things in Dongying, and now that he returned to Yaozhou, he wanted to take a good rest.
The elders naturally don’t mind Zhao Youqian being lazy here, not to mention that Zhao Youqian finally had the opportunity to read some of the recipes passed down from Xie’s family, which made him overjoyed.
Even if he has obtained several core ancient recipes, he will still gain something different from reading the recipes written by these cooks.
It’s not so mysterious that there is any spiritual power, but every ancient recipe has more or less the ideas of these cooks in designing these recipes. These are good things that simple recipes can’t bring Zhao Yougan experience.
Belonging is the experience left on the road of exploring cooking, which is of great help to Zhao Youqian’s growth.
What’s more, here, Zhao Youqian finally got the most critical part of family inheritance.
The inheritance from Xie’s ancestor’s wife!
Spice Inequality!
This is a culinary skill that originated from the dark cooking world, and it is also the basis for Xie family to develop a variety of cuisines.
Originally, Zhao Youqian could have exchanged it in the gourmet system a long time ago, but he soon noticed something, even from the training method of “listening to the sound and debating food” that he had learned.
Those things that are exchanged from the gourmet system are completely without the training method before the gourmet cells joined.
In other words, it is actually a very old method.
Being ancient is not necessarily bad, but it is definitely not as modern as it is in keeping with the times.
It would be fine if the method of training was ancient, but the spices of that era and the spices of today have undergone many changes.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yougan simply didn’t exchange for this cooking skill, but saved the points, and planned to exchange for a cooking skill like ‘Explosive Flame’ which is more effective for him.
As a result, as soon as he came back, the elders of the Xie family had already decided to teach him the spice inequality.
Zhao Youqian was a little surprised.
“What’s so strange about you, you’ve already been qualified to learn, but you just haven’t come back.”
He has the best relationship with Zhao Youqian, and the third-ranked Jia Lao has a smile on his face.
“Damn boy, do you really think us old bastards don’t want to teach you the spice inequality because of your last name?”
“Your realm is not enough. Forcing to learn is either a spiritual flaw like the ancestors, or you just don’t understand it at all, which will affect the way of cooking later. This is the reason.”
There was a trace of sigh on the chubby faces of the three elders.
“Don’t think that this thing is not complicated. If you really want to learn it, it will be troublesome. We have improved it several times. If you want to learn the original method, it not only requires unique talents, but also has to go to a special place to retreat and learn. It’s really killing people!”
“Mimi’s little girl, she also laid the foundation after she came back, and we let her study after she reached the super level.”
After hearing these anecdotes, Zhao Youqian finally understood.
After all, at that time, his strength was insufficient, his future was uncertain, and he was still young, so the family elders didn’t tell him these things.
Now that he is already a Lin-level cook, he naturally doesn’t have to worry about anything.
When Mimi was mentioned, Zhao Youqian remembered one thing.
“By the way, I also made an agreement with Touzuki Academy over there, Mimi will go there to teach for a school year as a tutor after she has reached a special level in her practice.”
“It can be regarded as broadening horizons. Starting from the surrounding areas of Yaozhou, let’s slowly get in touch with the international world.”
This made the old man stunned for a moment, but he quickly thought of something and nodded.
“It’s also an opportunity. The old man will go back and discuss this matter, and he will give you a satisfactory answer.”
Then he took out a piece of paper full of characters and handed it to Zhao Youqian.
“This is all about the spice inequality. After reading it, you can give it to the old man or other elders.”
Shaking the piece of paper, watching Zhao Youqian take it over, the old man patted him on the shoulder and left by himself. He knew that he would be studying this formula for a long time with his culinary idiocy. .
“Is this the spice inequality?”
Zhao Youqian’s current physique has already surpassed countless ordinary people, gradually approaching the three-digit mark, and his talents in all aspects of the body have also improved several grades.
Memory and thinking speed are naturally far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
After just a quick glance, he memorized everything on that piece of paper in his mind, and began to analyze the mysteries in it.
Aside from the complicated formulas, what Zhao Youqian focused on was the core surrounded by that piece of paper, the most critical thing!
“Third son, did you send the things to the boy?”
The one who ranked first among the long-bearded Xie family elders spoke to the smiling fat elder who came in.
“That’s right, but boss, guess how long it will take for a boy to understand the key to the spice inequality?”
Hearing his question, the other elders present were all interested.
“According to the boy’s talent in cooking, I think it will take two days at most!”
The fifth-ranked elder has short hair, a tough face, and crisp speech, which makes people not feel a bit stale.
He is also the elder who personally taught Zhao Youqian how to cook, and he was deeply impressed by Zhao Youqian’s extraordinary cooking talent.
“Two days? The boy is now Lin Chef, and if I’m not mistaken, he has gone a long way in terms of righteousness.”
“From a high altitude, I think one day is enough for him to grasp the key points!”
Shaking his head, the third child with a smile on his face gave an evaluation.
“Then why not, let’s take a gamble!”
The fifth child rolled his eyes, thinking that the cloisonné porcelain vase he had been coveting for a long time was in the hand of the third child, and instantly thought of a lottery.
But no one thought that the old man of the three families just entered the ancestral hall, and Zhao Youqian followed him behind.
What I was holding in my hand was the same piece of paper with the spice inequality written all over it.
“Hey, all the elders are here!”
Waving his hand, Zhao Youqian couldn’t help being a little surprised.
“Damn boy, come here so soon to return the things? Have you written it all down?”
Seeing Zhao Yougan’s figure, the fat third child was really surprised.
“It’s still a bit difficult to write down. After thinking about it for a while, I realized the key to the spice inequality!”
Zhao Youqian showed a helpless look.
“What’s the key?”
After the fifth child heard it, he couldn’t help asking with a jump in his heart.
Looking at the elders around him, Zhao Youqian didn’t think too much about it, after all, they also know the spice inequality.
“Actually, there is nothing. The key lies in the inequality, not the spice!”
“The key to the inequality lies in the increase and decrease in the contrast of spices!”
“However, I didn’t expect that there are so many changes in flavor just by adding or subtracting spices and adjusting the ratio.”
Just when Zhao Youqian began to talk about his experience, the elders present only felt that they saw some monsters, and all the sounds in their ears became noises
