Huang Shi was dripping with cold sweat all over his body, feeling shocked and angry.
What made him even more angry was that even he subconsciously felt that Ling Xiao might be right.
Because the four ingredients "deer tendon, green sheep tripe, Xuanwang clam, and lion heart grass" are the ingredients in the Eight Treasures Exquisite Soup that cause the most serious loss of spiritual energy.
It is expected that if the four ingredients are replaced by the first level, the aura of the final soup will not be any lower than before!
But in this case, except for the snow needle beef bones, the rest of the Eight Treasures Exquisite Soup will be composed of all first-level ingredients. How can it be called "Eight Treasures"?
Moreover, if you want to optimize the recipe in the future, you will definitely be limited to the first-level ingredients and cannot be improved!
Ling Xiao saw through what he was thinking at a glance and sneered: "You blindly pursue high-quality ingredients, but in the end you can't even maintain the most basic spiritual energy and waste all eight kinds of spiritual food! Pindao said before that there is room for improvement, but I still praise you. , strictly speaking... dogs won’t eat it.”
Ling Xiao sneered, raised his hand, and spilled all the soup in the bowl on the ground.
The dogs won’t eat it!
These powerful words instantly silenced the entire room.
Duan Guangxiong and others looked at each other in confusion.
Looking at Huang Shi's face, it was obvious that Ling Xiao had revealed the secret of the Eight Treasures Exquisite Soup in just a few words.
If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, it’s hard to believe it!
Duan Guang was very ambitious. Seeing that Huang Shi's expression was wrong, he quickly said: "Master Huang, you might as well do what he said first. It's a mule or a horse. Let's take it out for a run!"
When Huang Shi heard this, he felt like he was enlightened.
Yes, what Ling Xiao said is empty talk after all. Whether it can be successful depends on how it actually turns out.
He didn't believe that the other party could optimize the specialty dish he had studied for many years by just changing a few ingredients!
"Okay, just wait!"
Huang Shi walked away and went to prepare immediately.
"Hello!"
Ling Xiao suddenly stopped him.
"Since it is a soup base made of snow needle beef bones, don't simmer it all the way. After it boils, use high heat to save time. Let's cook it for about 40 minutes!" Ling Xiao said lazily.
Huang Shi's whole body was shocked, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
How did he know that he had simmered the soup base himself?
A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Huang Shi's back. He couldn't help but look back at Ling Xiao, then turned his head and left in a hurry.
After Huang Shi left, everyone in the compartment still hadn't come back to their senses.
Ling Xiao was the calmest one. He slowly filled a bowl of soup again and said with a smile: "The dogs won't even eat it. It's a bit exaggerated. Hehe..."
If the Eight Treasures Exquisite Soup had no extraordinary qualities, it would not be able to create such a big name.
With so many ingredients mixed together, although most of the spiritual energy is wasted, there is still a lot of spiritual energy left in the end.
Don’t waste it!
Duan Guangxiong said a few words to adjust the atmosphere, but Ling Xiao either responded casually or ignored him, leaving the atmosphere in the room always cold.
In the end, the only sound in the whole room was the sound of Ling Xiao chewing slowly. The others had already eaten and looked at Ling Xiao with strange eyes.
This guy has a huge appetite!
After finally waiting for an hour.
The door to the side room opened again, and Huang Shi walked in slowly holding a pot of soup.
However, at this moment, his face no longer showed any pride, but instead looked slightly gloomy and ashamed, and he did not even dare to look directly into Ling Xiao's eyes.
When everyone present saw this, they obviously guessed something, and they suddenly had different expressions. They looked at Ling Xiao with deep shock.
As the chef, Huang Shi must have tasted this pot of soup a long time ago. Could it be that it has really improved as Ling Xiao said?
"Taoist Priest, please!"
Duan Guangxiong was excited, but he did not forget the etiquette. He served Ling Xiao a bowl first.
Everyone started to drink soup, and the whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
As soon as the soup entered their mouth, everyone felt that it was obviously different from the previous pot, but they couldn't tell what the difference was.
However, the spiritual energy contained in the soup is not much lower than that of the pot just now!
The more Duan Guangxiong drank, the happier he became.
The aura has not changed, the taste is still delicious, but the cost has been greatly reduced!
This means that the restaurant's profits will increase significantly in the future, and his status in the family will definitely increase!
After finishing a bowl of soup, Duan Guangxiong composed himself, stood up and bowed his hands to Ling Xiao: "Taoist Master, you are truly a god!"
Ling Xiao sneered and glanced at him and Huang Shi. His eyes were meaningful.
Duan Guangxiong saw his arrogant expression. Instead of being annoyed, he felt that it was natural and his heart was even hotter.
Judging from Ling Xiao's appearance, his cooking skills are clearly above those of Huangshi!
How could such a talent be let go?
Although he had offended this person before, Duan Guangxiong knew very well that there are no eternal enemies in the world, and interests are the basis of cooperation.
Thinking of this, Duan Guangxiong took out a storage bag from his arms with a smile, handed it to Ling Xiao, and said: "Taoist Master, I have troubled you to improve the recipe. A small reward is not disrespectful."
Ling Xiao took it casually.
1000 spirit stones.
"Shopkeeper Duan, can we get down to business?" he asked, with a meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't believe that Duan Guangxiong was jumping up and down just to improve the Babao Linglong Soup.
Duan Guangxiong laughed and said: "Nothing can be hidden from the Taoist priest! It's like this. In seven days, the Duan family will welcome a distinguished guest. At that time, Duan wants to ask the Taoist priest to be the chef himself and prepare a table for the distinguished guest. gourmet food!"
Hearing these words, Huang Shi's eyes twitched, and he felt dissatisfied. But when he looked at the soup on the table, he felt discouraged again.
As a cook, he knows better than everyone present how strong Ling Xiao is!
"What do you think, Taoist Priest? Just make an offer!" Duan Guangxiong asked.
Ling Xiao tapped his fingertips on the table, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since it's the shopkeeper Duan who invites me, I can't refuse the invitation. Let's do this. Eight dishes, one soup, 3,000 spirit stones, and you can bring your own materials."
"What?"
Duan Guangxiong choked.
Others present were even more shocked.
3000 spirit stones?
Why don't you go and grab it?
As a supervisor, Huang Shi's salary for one year is no more than this!
Do you need this much for one fucking meal?
Duan Guangxiong held back his anger and smiled bitterly: "Taoist Master, can it be cheaper? Zhenlong Restaurant will have to rely on you more in the future!"
The meaning is obvious. In the future, Zhenlong Restaurant will have a lot of distinguished guests. Will Ling Xiao still worry about not making money?
Lowering the asking price and keeping the water flowing are the purpose of doing business.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Duan is joking, don't rely on me in the future. I'll be around the imperial capital for a while, and it's time to leave."
Sorry, he just came to grab it.
If Duan Guangxiong had not offended Ling Xiao just now, the latter might have lowered his asking price.
But now, do you want to do this business?
Having said this, Ling Xiao stood up and left.
"Shopkeeper, please think about it. Pindao is a little full after eating. It's time to go back to eat. Goodbye."
Ling Xiao chuckled and went without looking at everyone's faces.
