Food Wars: Tavern

Can humans really time travel?

Faced with this question, the previous Zane would firmly have given an answer: impossible.

But!

Life, you know!

Sometimes, it's full of surprises!

Even he himself had never imagined that the "time travel" plot, usually seen in web novels and dramas, could happen to him.

Thinking back to when he first encountered this strange world, he had moments of fear, confusion, and eventually acceptance.

Ultimately, with the mindset of "accept what comes," he began operating a tavern on this food street. It was during this time that he unexpectedly awakened a system!

This system was highly integrated with the tavern.

Sometimes, it would issue tasks like:

[Increase the daily sales of the tavern!]

[Earn high ratings from diners!]

[Develop new recipes!]

[Increase the daily customer flow!]

...

In this period.

As the owner and head chef, Zane could complete these tasks through his efforts and receive corresponding rewards from the system!

Now, after a month of hard work.

His tavern finally achieved the milestone of 1000 orders today, unlocking the check-in feature of the system.

This meant that from this day on, he could check in with the system before the tavern's daily operation began, to receive rewards.

Regarding the rewards offered by the system, they could be broadly categorized into four major types:

[Recipes]

[Ingredients]

[Kitchenware]

[Culinary Skills]

These four main categories could be further divided into several subcategories, such as:

Sub recipes, there could be subcategories like Chinese cuisine, Japanese cuisine, French cuisine, molecular cuisine, and many more.

Similarly, ingredients could be categorized into staple foods: meat, fish, beans, eggs, vegetables, dairy, fats, fruits, and more!

Awakening slightly, Zane quickly chose to check in.

[Ding dong!]

[Host, successful check-in!]

[Ding dong!]

[For this check-in, host receives a set of Peacock Charm KitchenwareX1 and a new recipe for Thousand-Layer Pancakes!]

[Ding dong!]

[Issuing a new task.]

[Please, within 24 hours, increase the tavern's daily customer flow to over 50 people. Upon completion, a reward will be granted!]

A good kitchen knife is essential for a chef.

After all, some ingredients have unique shapes that require lengthy cutting times, causing strain on the wrists and back.

However, with a sharp and sturdy kitchen knife, the work can be more efficient.

Not only does it make the process easier, but it also enhances the taste of the dish and helps the ingredients flavor better!

The set of Peacock Charm kitchenware just obtained was inspired by the moment when a peacock displays and retracts its feathers, extremely visually appealing!

Of course, aesthetics aside, the functionality of this kitchenware set is its focus.

This Peacock Charm kitchenware set is made of BG42 steel specially researched for the aerospace industry!

This steel material uses a double vacuum melting process, making it exceptionally clean.

Its uniqueness lies in the addition of vanadium! Vanadium enhances the steel's wear resistance and blade sharpness retention, providing excellent corrosion resistance, edge retention, and the ability to cut through tough bones.

Moreover, this kitchenware set consists of seven pieces including:

[Bone Cleaver]

[Slicer]

[Paring Knife]

[Fruit knife]

[Kitchen Shears]

[All Purpose Knife]

[Bread Knife]

While each knife has a unique blade design with musical note patterns, which adds a touch of class!

Additionally, the handle is made of traditional bloodwood with a sleek satin finish.

Known for its beautiful color, durability, stability, and luxury feel, these are the characteristics of bloodwood with a satin finish.

In short.

This kitchenware set named "Peacock Charm" isn't some magical tool that restores the original flavor of ingredients or has any mystical effects like "recognizing the owner's blood"

But for Zane now, this set of kitchenware had appeared right on time.

...

Next is the new recipe for Thousand-Layer Pancakes.

As a common dish in the northern regions of China, nowadays, Thousand-Layer Pancakes are popular across various regions.

Even in Japan, there are places specializing in Thousand-Layer Pancakes.

However, when it comes down to it.

The most authentic flavor of Thousand-Layer Pancakes is still found in Shandong and Henan, delicious and classic!

Its preparation is both simple and complex—wrapping layers of dough with numerous distinctive layers, baking until the surface is golden and crisp.

In essence, the simplicity lies in blending and rolling out the dough for the pancakes.

But mastering it is no small feat; simply rolling the pancake dough thin and getting it not sticky is challenging for many chefs.

Hence, Thousand-Layer Pancakes are different from other pancakes.

Just as its name suggests, the golden and oil-rich surface reveals clearly distinct layers when bitten into, giving an instantaneous surprise.

And each of these layers can contain beef, minced pork, leeks, scallions but no matter how they're placed, the taste with each bite is definitely enchanting!

In fact, in his past life, Zane understood many cooking techniques.

Especially for this common snack like Thousand-Layer Pancakes, he could make them with his eyes closed.

However, on one hand, the recipes provided by the system have been optimized.

Every step and detail of the dish is recorded clearly, even noting any flaws or precautions.

Regardless of the difficulty or complexity of the process.

Zane doesn't need to spend time and energy learning. He can simply click the virtual "receive" button in his mind and instantly master them!

So, in an instant, Zane mastered the perfect method for making Thousand-Layer Pancakes.

"Great."

"It seems the rewards from the first check-in are quite plentiful!"

So, tomorrow's task of increasing the tavern's customer flow to over 50 people should be easily achievable.

These rewards came as a bit of a surprise to Zane!

Afterward, feeling slightly tired, he couldn't help but stretch. He then suppressed his little excitement, took a bath, and headed to a different room to lie down and sleep.

With that, the entire tavern had no more activity for the day.
