I Just Want to be a Shenhao Quietly

Seeing this, Lin Xian also picked up the spoon and took a sip.

The soup is thick and smooth like crystals, no wonder the fish has no taste, because the umami of the whole fish has been absorbed by the soup, which is sweet and delicious.

This dish really took him by surprise.

Lin Xian took another sip and frowned slightly.

The dish was delicious, but he always felt something was missing.

It was a strange feeling because he was eating this dish for the first time and didn't understand why he felt something was missing.

At this moment, the system prompt sound in his head suddenly sounded.

"Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden quest: Full Banquet of Man and Han"! [Full Banquet of Man and Han]

The first link of the task: You found that the yellow croaker in the crystal soup seems to be incomplete. Please find out the truth and taste the real yellow croaker in the soup! (After completing the first task, the second task will be automatically opened.)

Mission Progress: 0

Final reward:??? (depending on task evaluation)

...

I go!

Eat a meal and eat hidden missions!

This is too showy!

Lin Xian was stunned for a while.

Seeing that he was motionless, Yan Xiaoman asked curiously, "Lin Xian, why don't you eat?"

"I just remembered something!" Lin Xian explained casually.

Picking up a piece of tendon, Lin Xian carefully checked the tasks issued by the system while eating.

This seems to be a chain of tasks, one link is linked to another, only after completing the first link can the second link be opened.

The final reward can only be obtained after the entire set of tasks is completed.

Lin Xian was completely interested in this kind of deciphering-like chain of tasks.

After snapping his fingers, the waiter who was waiting immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Who made this yellow croaker in crystal soup?" Lin Xian asked.

The waiter replied, "Oh, this dish was prepared by Mr. Gao Jianxiang, our chef at Guihualou."

Lin Xian asked, "Can I talk to him?"

"Of course, I'll go and ask for you!" the waiter said, turning around and walking towards the back chef.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaoman couldn't help but ask, "Lin Xian, what are you doing?"

"I remembered something, so I decided to ask." Lin Xian smiled.

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoman pouted, lowered his head and continued to enjoy the food.

Lin Xian always does some inexplicable things, such as customizing a suit, just to look handsome when fighting. She is not surprised.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a white chef's uniform walked quickly to Lin Xian.

"Hello, I'm Gao Jianxiang, the chef of Osmanthus House. Are you dissatisfied with the taste of these dishes?"

"No, Chef Gao's dishes are delicious." Lin Xian shook his head and smiled.

This time, Gao Jianxiang is even more confused

In his doubtful eyes, Lin Xian said slowly, "I tasted this crystal soup of yellow croaker from Chef Gao just now, but I always feel that something is missing, and it doesn't seem to be authentic!"

Chapter 74 The Manchu and Han Banquets

Hearing these words, Gao Jianxiang not only was not angry, but his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Have you ever tasted the authentic yellow croaker in soup?"

"No! This is my first time eating yellow croaker in soup, I just feel that something is missing." Lin Xian shook his head.

Gao Jianxiang was a little disappointed, but then smiled: "The first time you eat yellow croaker in soup, you can feel the difference. It seems that you are a natural gourmet."

"What's your name, sir?"

"Excuse your surname Lin, Lin Xian!"

Lin Xian smiled and shook hands with him, inviting, "Chef Gao, sit down and talk."

After Gao Jianxiang sat down, he smiled and said, "To tell the truth, Mr. Lin is the first customer who tasted my unauthentic yellow croaker soup with Osmanthus Flower Building after so many years!"

"Can Chef Gao explain in detail? I'm very interested in this!" Lin Xian asked calmly with a move in his heart.

"There's no secret about this."

Gao Jianxiang laughed and said, "My yellow croaker in soup is really not authentic, because a key process is missing."

"Key process?" Lin Xian raised his brows, a little surprised.

Lin Guodong is a chef, so he knows a little bit.

For example, a braised pork dish tastes mediocre when made by some people, and delicious when made by others.

The gap is due to the lack of a key process.

The process mentioned here does not necessarily refer to the steps.

It may be a seasoning, it may be a unique cooking technique, or it may be knife skills.

What surprised him was that the incomplete version of yellow croaker in crystal soup cooked by Gao Jianxiang was already very delicious. How delicious is the real yellow croaker in soup?

Gao Jianxiang nodded and continued: "The waiter must have introduced it. Yellow croaker in soup was once one of the top dishes in the Manchu and Han banquets. Those who know how to cook this dish are basically descendants or apprentices of the imperial chefs of the past."

"It is also a coincidence that I can learn this soup with yellow croaker. More than 20 years ago, I was still learning to cook in Yangcheng, and I was fortunate to observe a private chef competition. At that time, in the third round, Master Liao Jie made it. It's yellow croaker in soup!"

After a slight pause, Gao Jianxiang sighed, "It's a pity that Master Liao Jie left in a hurry at the last moment due to an emergency."

"For more than 20 years, I have been trying my best to restore this yellow croaker soup. After countless improvements, I always felt that something was wrong. Finally, I realized that the most critical process was the difference. "

At this moment, the task in Lin Xian's mind suddenly changed.
