The second benefit of working part-time in a fish grill restaurant is that the chef's job includes meals, and every chef can enjoy free lunch or dinner provided by the restaurant.
This food is a delicacy made from the remaining meat of soul beasts. Although it is like gnawing on a chicken rack, the nutrients contained in it are still helpful for strengthening the body.
After walking into the Fish grill restaurant and having dinner with a 40-year-old chef, Xia Liang put on his chef's hat and walked into the kitchen to start his day's work.
Because a six-year-old's body is not as big as a fish soul beast, the job of killing fish is done by other chefs.
With the permission of Boss Cui, Xia Liang was only responsible for preparing various seasonings before the kitchen started.
Some of his seasonings can only be found on Blue Star. It is precisely because of these special seasonings that the fish he cooks is different from that cooked by other chefs, and is both novel and delicious.
In the huge kitchen.
There were eight chefs in total, some were killing fish, some were heating up the pots, and some had already started cooking.
Six-year-old Xia Liang stood on a high stool, dressed in chef's uniform. He used his soul power to enhance the strength of his hands and began to stir the wok. The fish pieces seasoned and colored with vinegar and wine flew in the pot, accompanied by sparks and fragrance.
Although they had seen Xia Liang cooking a week ago, the chefs around were still dumbfounded. They were all ordinary people without soul power, so they all thought that children with soul power were as capable as Xia Liang.
"Aliang. Did you learn this cooking skill from your family?" The old chef who was killing fish nearby couldn't help but ask.
The sizzling sound from frying in the oil was too loud, and Xia Liang did not hear what the old chef said. He seemed to be cooking seriously, but in fact he was thinking about how to make money to buy resources for cultivation.
Teacher Mo said that by soaking in a high-level medicinal bath, more or less impurities in the soul master's body will be cleansed, which will be more conducive to the circulation of meridians to enhance the effect of soul power cultivation.
However, Notting Junior Soul Master Academy provides students with the basic knowledge and soul rings needed by soul masters, and does not provide training resources such as advanced medicinal baths.
If you want to obtain similar cultivation resources, you either have to join a soul master family or save money to buy them.
Xia Liang could only choose the latter because he had no intention of joining any force.
A part-time chef can earn fifty bronze soul coins every day.
Based on this calculation, the annual salary plus bonus can only bring in a maximum of twenty gold soul coins.
However, the market price of high-grade medicinal bath is at least one thousand gold soul coins.
It is obviously not enough to save money just by working as a chef part-time.
Ever since he decided to work part-time at the Fish grill restaurant, Xia Liang had been thinking about whether he could research and develop seasonings and marinades that are unique to Blue Star, so that he could create various recipes that are unique to Blue Star.
You could probably make more money by reselling the recipes to some high-end restaurants in big cities.
By then, there will be money to purchase various cultivation resources.
At this time, Xia Liang heard someone talking beside him. He put the pot on the stove, turned down the fire, and then turned to look at the old chef who was killing fish behind him.
"Uncle Chen, you called me?" Xia Liang was puzzled. "What's the matter? The frying pan was too noisy just now, I didn't hear what you said clearly."
"No, it's okay. You work very hard." The old chef asked in surprise, "Are you really only six years old? My kid is the same age as you. He has awakened his martial spirit but has no soul power. He is still playing in the mud with other children in the village."
"I used to play with mud." Xia Liang smiled, "I have lost interest in playing since my parents were killed by a soul master."
Hearing this, the chefs around looked at each other and saw the shock and sympathy in each other's eyes.
Having his parents killed, and moreover, by a soul master, his character must be different from that of his peers after such an experience.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know about your situation." The old chef said apologetically.
Xia Liang shook his head and was attracted by the big fish that the old chef had placed on the table.
This is a fish that is three meters long. The fish that appear in the fish grill restaurant are basically ten-year soul beasts.
It is said that the fish are caught by water-type soul masters in coastal cities using water nets made from their soul skills. Many restaurants specializing in fish purchase their fish from the families of these water-type soul masters.
The big fish the old chef was killing was called the Iron Whale, a young whale that had just entered its tenth year of cultivation.
The skin of the Iron Whale is covered with a layer of iron-like scales, which must be completely melted by high-temperature burning.
Without the protection of scales, the skin of the iron whale will naturally wrinkle, forming a very crispy taste. Frying it in a pan is the signature dish of the fish restaurant, crispy fish, crispy and delicious.
After staying in this kitchen for a week, Xia Liang also saw the old chef cleaning the iron whale's internal organs, but this time was different from before.
After the old chef split open the tin whale's head, he dug out all kinds of strange organs from it. He threw some unwanted organs into the trash can at his feet along with the fish's viscera.
It was this action that attracted Xia Liang's attention.
Among the internal organs thrown into the trash can, there was a crystal-like substance.
The old chef said that the crystals contained a strong fishy smell and could not be used as food, just like the viscera of the iron whale.
Xia Liang jumped down from the high stool and picked up the discarded crystal from the trash can.
This is a crystal dyed red by blood. The whole thing is only the size of a baby's thumb and exudes a strong smell of blood.
After cleaning, the crystals in my hand have faded from red to light yellow.
Is this it?
Looking at the light yellow crystal in his hand, Xia Liang felt delighted.
This light yellow crystal, a special substance produced from the brain of whale-like soul beasts, should be the whale glue mentioned in the original book.
Xia Liang has a lot of cooking skills, not only in cooking fish, but also in cooking chicken and duck.
But why did he choose to work part-time in a restaurant specializing in fish?
The initial reason was that Uncle Meng had dealings with the restaurant owner in goods, and an introduction through an acquaintance would save a lot of trouble.
The most important reason is that these restaurants specializing in fish will purchase various types of fish from coastal cities.
The fish that the Fish Grilled Restaurant imports are mainly sea fish from ten-year-old soul beasts.
Among the many marine fish, iron whale is the first choice as the signature dish of fish grilled restaurants.
The original book said that whale glue is produced in the brains of whale-like soul beasts. It has a very good nourishing effect on soul masters and can enhance the endurance of muscles, bones and meridians.
This is definitely the best resource for keeping fit.
Without money to purchase whale glue, Xia Liang could only try his luck in finding a store that dealt with whales. This was the reason why he initially decided to work part-time at a fish restaurant.
During this week, the old chef killed no less than five iron whales, but unfortunately, no substance similar to whale glue was found.
I originally thought that a whale soul beast that had cultivated for ten years would not be able to produce whale glue, but I didn't expect to encounter it today.
It is easy to test whether this pale yellow crystal is whale glue.
The original book says that whale glue must be burned with high-temperature flames before it can be softened and taken, and that whale glue was mainly known as an aphrodisiac during the Dou Yi period.
If this light yellow crystal requires high temperature to dissolve and can cause a person to be burned to death after ingestion, then it is most likely whale glue
