Chapter 171 The Art of Refined Food Reappears

"Try it then!"

Walking to the pot.

Wolfgang served the remaining porridge at the bottom of the pot.

Compressed by Zhang Wei's Refined Food Technique, a full pot of porridge was reduced to only about three or four bowls.

Before eating, Wulfo sniffed, "The aroma is still as elegant..."

He picked up a spoon and scooped up the soft, mushy porridge.

Reflected in the sunlight, it was as thick as white jade.

The color was excellent, unlike the dim color of the Ration Pills.

He put it in his mouth.

The slightly warm porridge was very smooth, with a hint of saltiness that gave it a unique flavor.

The preserved egg and lean meat were perfectly matched, making the monotonous plain porridge instantly delicious!

Most importantly, this porridge had no strange taste at all, and was much more delicious than any version he had tasted before!

"This is impossible!"

"The Refined Food Technique can actually make the food taste just right!"

"Even if you are the King of Northern Chefs, you absolutely cannot achieve this!"

"The compression process of the Refined Food Technique is completely uncontrollable, and cooking most values precision and fine control... you don't even have room for operation!" Wolfgang couldn't believe that anyone could achieve this.

A warm feeling rose in his abdomen, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

His originally tired body felt as if it were soaking in a hot spring, and this bowl of porridge made his gourmet cells excited again!

Seeing Wulfo's astonished expression, the surrounding assistant chefs became even more curious.

Looking at the remaining porridge, everyone said, "That... can we have a taste too?"

"There's only this little left, you can divide it evenly."

Four bowls of porridge, not even half a spoonful per person, could not be divided equally.

Only those with higher star ratings were qualified to taste.

The warm porridge entered their stomachs.

Everyone's reaction was almost the same as Wolfgang's!

"As expected, after the Refined Food Technique, it really became delicious!"

"I also know the Refined Food Technique, but... how is this effect achieved?"

"As Chef Wolfgang said, the process of the Refined Food Technique is uncontrollable. No matter how high the skill level, without operation, it cannot be brought into play!"

Everyone looked at Zhang Wei.

This person had brought them too many surprises!

Let alone his cooking skills, even things that defied common sense couldn't stop him anymore?

Wolfgang felt the changes in his body and swallowed with difficulty, "Are you even human?"

Zhang Wei rubbed his forehead, "Not human, could I be a ghost?"

You are a god!

A God of Food who remained in the human world!

Wolfgang smiled bitterly, "I originally thought that although the gap between us was huge, I could catch up to you with enough effort. But now, I don't even have the slightest thought of it. I can't even imagine how you did it!"

"Achieve what?"

"Controlling the Refined Food Technique."

"I can't control it!"

"What?"

Zhang Wei said seriously, "The Refined Food Technique is extremely fast when activated. Even if I focus all my mental energy on controlling the details, I can probably only affect a very small part."

That's still control, isn't it!

Speaking of which, how small is "a very small part"?

"Then just now..."

"I wasn't controlling it when I applied the Refined Food Technique to the porridge!"

"Then how did you do it to make the porridge taste better? Don't tell me it was pure luck! I don't believe it!"

"Of course it wasn't luck, it was a pattern!"

"What pattern?"

Zhang Wei said, "It's the pattern of how the taste changes after the cooking is processed by the Refined Food Technique."

"As long as you find this pattern, you can change the taste of the food in advance, and then control the subsequent changes of the Refined Food Technique."

"In other words, you first guess the final taste, then reverse-engineer the pattern, change the cause, and finally change the effect."

The pattern of the Refined Food Technique is like a formula.

The final taste is the result.

For example, if the formula is multiply by two, add three, and then subtract five, and the desired result is ten.

Then, by reverse-engineering, you can deduce that the required cause is six.

In this way, as long as you change the taste to this six, the result will definitely be ten!

"It's an equation, very simple!"

"By the way, do you know how to solve equations? Middle school math."

Equation?

What is that?

Everyone shook their heads in confusion.

Zhang Wei was helpless, the basic education in this alien world was indeed too poor.

"Reverse-engineering? This... is not realistic. If it were that simple, why haven't others discovered it, but only you?"

"Once this skill emerges, the entire gourmet era will change!"

It's no wonder Wolfgang was surprised, this skill was simply too exaggerated.

There was no gap in taste between high-grade and low-grade ingredients; the gap in taste came from variety and quality.

The difference between them was nutritional content.

That is, energy density.

If Zhang Wei's skill could increase the energy density by five times without affecting the taste, it would be equivalent to consuming multiple times the ingredients to elevate them by ten levels!

What kind of concept is this?

Wolfgang immediately asked, "Can I master the Refined Food Technique by learning the so-called equation?"

"It's very difficult. The patterns of the Refined Food Technique are very complex, and the patterns for each dish are different. The prerequisite for mastering it is to have enough experimental data.

"There are several difficulties. Discovering the pattern and reverse-engineering are just two of them. You also need to be able to perfectly replicate every dish precisely, without any difference."

"Another is a sufficiently sensitive tongue. Earlier, I asked you to taste the differences between dishes, and except for Wolfgang, no one could tell. This is just the most basic of basics..."

Super sensitive tongue?

Can every dish be made exactly the same?

And that strange reverse-engineering and formulas, there's no clue at all.

Everyone looked at each other.

Mastering this technique was simply an impossible task.

Wolfgang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Wei thankfully, "Fortunately, this skill cannot be widely disseminated, otherwise... your value would make everyone covetous."

"Compared to this skill of yours, the title of King of Northern Chefs is nothing! Even if you aim to be the World Chef King, it's probably not impossible."

Zhang Wei didn't believe this statement at all.

The Great Gourmet Era was unfathomable. He hadn't even left the small Northern Region, and he dared to talk about being the World Chef King?

What would those terrifying monsters in the culinary world think?

Ultimately, Wolfgang's knowledge was still limited to the Northern Region.

Or rather, the perspective of all chefs was still confined to the human world.

"Chef Zhang Wei, have you heard of the Gourmet World? How much do you know about the situation there?"

"Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

"Just thought of it."

Wolfgang stroked his chin and said, "I heard that everything outside the vast human world belongs to the Gourmet World."

"There are treasures and ingredients above level 100 everywhere, which is tens of thousands of times richer than the human world."

"And some people claim to have crossed the Gourmet World and returned from the other side of the continent. Based on this theory, the world is a sphere..."

Wolfgang scoffed, "The world is clearly flat, how can it be a sphere? This is clearly nonsense! I even think the legends about the Gourmet Festival are just rumors."

"It's just a trick created out of thin air by a group of bored individuals curious about unknown regions."

"Climbing cliffs tens of thousands of meters deep, swimming across straits tens of thousands of meters wide, and giant birds with a wingspan of 10,000 meters, whose giant bird eggs could feed 100,000 people... Hahahaha, it's all bullshit no matter how you think about it."

Zhang Wei fell silent.

If he hadn't seen part of the Food Wars manga before, he would have been fooled by you.

As expected, the timeline of his transmigration was too early, and people's minds were not yet enlightened!

Even such basic scientific knowledge couldn't be popularized.

However, with his current strength, it was indeed too early to consider the Gourmet World!

"Chef Zhang Wei, Doctor Qiu En has sent a message. All surgical equipment is ready, and the wounded are in position. How much longer do you need?"

"Almost done! Ask Doctor Qiu En to wait for me for half an hour!"

"Wolfgang, I have to go. Let's talk next time."

Waving his hand.

Zhang Wei returned to the stove.

Facing hundreds of pots and pans alone.

Everyone wanted to help, but they knew that their skills were only enough to cause trouble.

Wolfgang narrowed his eyes and said, "To maintain a consistent taste for all dishes, no matter how many times they are repeated... can you really control it so precisely? Or do you have other secrets?"

Big guys have great wisdom.

Wolfgang did not completely believe Zhang Wei.

In fact, Zhang Wei was not telling the whole truth.

Zhang Wei could truly control the Refined Food Technique!

If he exerted his full strength, he could control about 30% of the entire process!

However, this state required the help of National Chefs and was a huge mental strain on him.

Zhang Wei had only used it during the research of "Wuxiang" so far.

Walking in front of all the pots and pans, Zhang Wei took a deep breath.

"Alright, now it's time to showcase speed and accuracy."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to begin!"
