Chapter 315: Chapter 314: Master Level
Jiang Shoucheng watched with anticipation as Jiang Feng brought over tworge bowls in his hands.
He froze in an instant.
Before him, all he could see was broli.
Although one bowl of broli looked like it had been coated in flour and fried, it couldn’t change the fact that it was still broli.
“What is this? Why does it smell so good?” Sun curiously looked over, “Fried broli? And it smells this amazing!”
“Right, it’s fried broli. I coated the broli with flour and egg, and then fried it twice in olive oil. This is how it turned out.” Jiang Feng said.
Sun could only click his tongue in astonishment, silently admiring Jiang Feng, who, as a chef from a big restaurant, was so meticulous even when cooking broli.
Jiang Shoucheng passed Jiang Feng a pair of chopsticks: “Little brother, you eat too!”
He had vain hopes that Jiang Feng would eat more broli so that he himself could eat less, thus preserving some stomach space for ordering takeoutter.
Jiang Feng took the chopsticks with a slight smile, “Big brother, you eat first. I made it specially for you.”<div>
Jiang Feng was somewhat confident in his cooking skills, yet he knew that whenever he tried a new dish for the first time, nine times out of ten, it was destined to be a disaster.
No matter how fragrant it smelled or how nice it looked, wasn’t his Texas-style chicken just the same? The taste of that dish was something Jiang Feng still couldn’t forget.
Theb rat Jiang Shoucheng reached out with his chopsticks.
He hesitated between the two servings of broli but then decisively reached for the crispy one.
He took a bite, and it was crispy.
Because Jiang Feng had coated it twice in egg and fried it twice, the crispy outeryer and fragrant inner part filled Jiang Shoucheng’s mouth without instantly producing the crunchy “crack” that sound so appealing.
“Hey, this is unexpectedly delicious,” Jiang Shoucheng spoke, his mouth full of the unique vor created by thebination of egg and olive oil.
“I’ll try some too.” Sun couldn’t wait any longer, reaching out with his chopsticks to grab a piece of the crispy broli.
“My goodness, this is way too delicious. Is this really just fried broli?” Sun’s expression now resembled that of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, as if he had never before tasted Eight Treasures Chestnut Fragrant Pigeon, Sweet and Sour Yam, braised chicken, beer duck, or any other dish Jiang Feng had made.
“Is it that delicious?” Xu got interested and stealthily moved next to Jiang Shoucheng, quickly and decisively reaching for a piece of the crispy broli in the bowl.
Xu too was immersed in the crisp and tender broli.
“Zhou, do you want to try some too?” Jiang Shoucheng warmly invited.
Zhou also came over with his chopsticks, very cautiously taking a small piece.
After one bite, Zhou was even more determined to save up money to take his girlfriend and parents to dine at Taifeng Building.
“Crack.”
“Crack, crack.”
For a moment, everyone was silent, and the only sound was the crackling of crispy broli.
Jiang Feng found their reactions so intense and exaggeratedly strange; he recalled that they did not react this wayst time when they ate Sweet and Sour Yam, which, after all, was his signature dish and im to fame.
Could it be that he had an exceptional talent for making crispy broli?<div>
Jiang Feng reached out with his chopsticks.
He picked a piece that was evenly coated in egg and perfectly fried.
He took a bite.
“Crack.”<div>
Jiang Feng was enraptured.
For the first time, he felt sincerely that his cooking skills were truly exquisite.
If he hadn’t made and brought the crispy broli himself, he would have doubted whether it was switched by someone else along the way.
How could his own crispy broli taste so good?
It was beyond words delicious!
As delicious as his Sweet and Sour Yam!
It was just that he had made Sweet and Sour Yam so often and eaten it so much that it no longer made a big impression on him, whereas this was the first time he had made and tasted broli like this, so it seemed especially delicious.
As Jiang Shoucheng devoured the crispy broli, he suddenly remembered the words Jiang Zaidi had said to him some days before.
“Little brother has the most culinary talent among all of us; Taifeng Building will rely on our little brother in the future, and our Jiang family’s culinary heritage too. That’s why we brothers need to work hard to earn money and buy houses in the samemunity, preferably as neighbors or at least in the same building, so we can look out for each other during meals.”
Earn money well!
A fighting spirit ignited in Jiang Shoucheng’s heart.
He was determined to earn money well and aimed to pay off his mortgage before the age of 45, striving for awards, honors, advancements, and reaching the pinnacle of life!
Jiang Shoucheng channeled his enthusiasm for his work into his appetite for broli, eating it with the zest one would for braised meat.<div>
“Big brother, you can try this bowl too. This is broli mixed with butter,” Jiang Feng suggested.
Jiang Shoucheng stuffed his mouth full of crispy broli, unable to speak and could only continuously nod, stretching his chopsticks towards the buttered broli.
Oil and fat symbolize mankind’s primal craving for meat.
In a famous Japanese drama, there once appeared a dish of rice mixed with butter. A small cube of butter ced on hot steaming rice, melted by the heat of the rice, and with just a little soy sauce added, it was enough to make an adult forget all worries.
The buttered broli made by Jiang Feng was even more enticing than the buttered rice.
The broli, nched to fifty percent done, oozed with sulence. The subsequent stir-frying with butter did not alter its texture or color, and its crispness was even more refreshing than diced radish and tender lotus root.
The aroma of butter, the crispness of broli, their wonderfulbination plus a touch of salt and pepper seasoning, light yet rich, could definitely be considered a delicacy.
Jiang Shoucheng was already intoxicated in the sea of broli.
He had never imagined broli could be made so delicious, and both styles of the broli dishes were equally delectable.
How could there be broli this delicious in the world!
It shouldn’t be said that broli could be made this tasty!
Eating and eating, Jiang Shoucheng couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret. His little brother managed to make the in and tasteless broli so vorful, if he had made a meat dish today, what would that taste like.
“Little brother, I think your cooking skills have grown again,” Jiang Shoucheng started ttering.<div>
“Your level is almost catching up to Third Uncle!” His genuine, convincing tone.
Jiang Feng himself also felt his cooking skills had grown.
“What are you eating?” Director Zhong and Dr. Lu, who had just returned from a meeting, saw everyone gathered together with a delicious smell wafting through the air.
“Broli, Mr. Zhong, Dr. Lu, the broli my little brother made is delicious!” Jiang Shoucheng said.
Zhou, Sun, and Xu, who were originally hanging around the two big bowls of broli to scrounge for food, stepped aside to make way for Director Zhong and Dr. Lu.
“Broli is good, high in vitamin C and mineral content, contains sulforaphane and ascorbic acid, and it’s a high-fiber vegetable that can lower blood sugar. You guys stay upte and have irregr meals, never wanting to eat in the cafeteria, always ordering greasy, sugary takeout, eating more broli is good for your health,” Director Zhong said with a smile.
That was until he saw the two bowls of broli in front of him.
Deep-fried broli, it seemed anything but healthy.
“You guys,” Director Zhong said, shaking his head with resignation.
As Director Zhong’s direct disciple, Xu diligently passed over the chopsticks to his teacher and didn’t forget to grab a pair for Dr. Lu as well, all disposable ones, left over from ordering takeout.
Dr. Lu picked up a piece with his chopsticks.
After it entered his mouth, he was left speechless for a long time.
“Mr. Zhong, although this deep-fried broli isn’t healthy, it’s delicious,” Dr. Lu said with a smile.<div>
Director Zhong was left speechless.
Director Zhong couldn’t help but shake his head; he was older now and couldn’t eat these fried foods, it would be too much for his body to handle.
However, broli is healthy food, eating a little more wouldn’t be a problem.
Director Zhong reached out with his chopsticks for the crispy broli.
“Ding, gained 573 experience points.”
“Ding, gained 666 experience points.”
“Ding, gained 605 experience points.”
“Ding, …”
Jiang Feng, listening to the continuous notification sounds in his mind, thought the group of white-coated angels in front of him were bing cuter and cuter. They had eaten his cooking more than once, and they were still so generous with their experience points, even more generous than the first time.
Wait, how could they be more generous than the first time.
Jiang Feng seemed to realize something.
“Big brother, where’s the bathroom?” Jiang Feng asked.
“Go straight ahead and turn right, then at the very end turn left,” Jiang Shoucheng said indistinctly, his mouth full of broli, gesturing to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng slipped into the bathroom again and opened the attribute panel.
Name: Jiang Feng
Level: 22 (180921/22w)
Knife Skills (Master Level): Your knife skills have reached the level of a top chef. (Proficiency: 379999/100w)

…
Indeed, the reason his buttered broli and crispy broli were exceptionally delicious was not because he had an extraordinary talent for this ingredient but because his fire control and seasoning had leveled up to master level.
Master level in fire control and seasoning, indeed terrifying.
