2484 The mysterious sauce

The system was speechless.

Normally, he would not forcefully step out at this time. As a person who judged the situation very well, he would appear when it was time to appear, and he would not appear when it was not.

Yuan Zhou said the same thing. He didn't expect any response from the system. According to the steps he thought of, he first washed his hands and then lit the incense. After that, he found a chair and sat down properly. After making sure that his posture was perfect, Yuan Zhou slightly closed his eyes and stared at the turntable in his mind while saying,"receive the reward."

The system, which seemed to have been disconnected since just now, immediately started to take action when it heard Yuan Zhou's voice. Then, Yuan Zhou watched the pointer start to spin.

"Gulp, gulp"

In the beginning, it was spinning like a tornado. Even with Yuan Zhou's eyesight, he couldn't see the spinning clearly. He only knew that it was a needle spinning. As time went by, the speed of the needle gradually became normal. At least, it could be captured by the naked eye.

Then, the needle slowed down until it finally stopped at a line of small words. The result was already out.

"Fierce shrimp sauce?!" Yuan Zhou was a little surprised.

To be honest, many of the sauces that were rewarded were mostly vegetarian and meat. The beef sauce, caviar, and sand crab sauce were all meat. Now, there was another one that was also meat.

The main thing was the sauce. Although Yuan Zhou had never made it himself, it was opello's exclusive secret sauce, which left a deep impression on him.

Once, after opello had eaten the steamed egg with Sakura prawns prepared by Yuan Zhou, he suddenly had the idea of using the fierce shrimp sauce to steam the egg. Due to a freak combination of factors, he really managed to make a signature dish.

The fierce shrimp sauce was a type of seasoning, which was popular in the coastal areas of China, Southeast Asia, South Korea and other countries. Although Yuan Zhou was familiar with it, he didn't have the time to make it himself.

In China, the most authentic and delicious fierce shrimp sauce was naturally Rongcheng in Lu province. Not only was the fierce shrimp sauce used as a seasoning, but it was also used as an economic income. Therefore, there were many kinds of it, and the quality standard was clear.

Yuan Zhou had never cooked it personally, but he was still quite familiar with it. How could a man who had obtained a silver spoon of Lu cuisine say that he was not familiar with the local condiments of Lu province? If you're a man, you can't say no.

"Head chef opello's fierce shrimp sauce is very excellent. Not only is it fine in texture and beautiful in color, but it also tastes salty and light. I wonder what kind of dish the system will provide?" Yuan Zhou was quite curious.

"System, have you given me the reward?" Yuan Zhou couldn't wait to have a look.

"The reward has been released. Please check and receive it." The system said.

On hearing the system's answer, Yuan Zhou stood up and walked downstairs. The reward was definitely in the kitchen, so he naturally had to go down and have a look.

It was a rare afternoon for the sun to come out. The dazzling sunlight slightly slanted on the glass window, making the dark stairs much brighter. Because it shone through many things, it left a lot of spots on the stairs, giving off a sense of peace and tranquility.

He wondered what would happen if master chef Restaurant was demolished one day.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Yuan Zhou walked briskly through the places where the sunlight embraced and soon arrived at the kitchen. Then, he started to look around.

The first thing he checked was naturally the place where the blueberry jam and soybean paste were placed. However, he could tell with a glance that there was not much left and that it was still the original sauce.

"It's best to store the fierce shrimp sauce in the jar. It also needs to be kept cool, so the system usually puts it in the jar. " After pondering for a while, Yuan Zhou began to search the four corners of the kitchen.

Unfortunately, all kinds of things were still piled up in the four corners. There were small stone mills, tools for making soybean milk and tofu, and some other small things that Yuan Zhou was familiar with. There was no VAT or anything like that. Even if there were vats, they were used to roast geese and ducks.

"If it's not in the corner, then it must be in the cabinet." Yuan Zhou focused his attention on the densely packed cabinets above him while thinking.

To be honest, every time he saw these cabinets and the small fish pond with the sound of water splashing, Yuan Zhou would sigh with emotion inwardly at the amazing black technology of the system. If not for it, even 10 kitchens of this size wouldn't be able to store all the fish.

As Yuan Zhou came into contact with more and more dishes, the variety of rice alone was uncountable. The rice unique to each place and the rice suitable for the 100 styles of rice cuisine rewarded previously were all placed in the same cabinet. However, once the cabinet was opened, it was like a bottomless pit, with everything one could think of.

Yuan Zhou felt that the sauce in the jar couldn't be placed too high, as it was not convenient to take it out. The system must have placed it in a place that was easy to take out.

Hence, he turned his attention to the cabinet below the various sauces. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find a small door with the words "fierce shrimp sauce" written on it. Simple and crude.

"Ka la"

As soon as the door was pulled open, Yuan Zhou saw a small vat and a wooden bucket.

Out of curiosity, Yuan Zhou didn't look at the jar first. Instead, he opened the lid of the wooden barrel that was similar to a jar. It took him quite a bit of effort to open the tightly sealed lid. As soon as a small opening was revealed, a strong fragrance of the sauce assailed his nose. It was very strong and the umami mixed in it couldn't be ignored.

Probably because of the baptism of time, the fragrance after settling down was rich and full of umami. Even Yuan Zhou wanted to taste it very much when he smelled it. It could be seen how fragrant it was.

"Is this a shrimp cake?" Yuan Zhou said.

"Yes, my lord. There are two common forms of fierce shrimp sauce. One is sauce, and the other is this kind of shrimp brick, which can also be called shrimp cake." The system said.

"Very considerate." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't say anything.

Instead, he carefully took out the taste-free chopsticks and a plate before putting the chopsticks into the wooden bucket. He tried not to let his hand enter the bucket and took out a piece of shrimp cake.

With the protection of the system, it was impossible for the kitchen to have any harmful bacteria. However, as a chef, Yuan Zhou felt that the most important thing was to keep the ingredients pure and clean even without the system.

As soon as the shrimp cake came out, the fragrance became even stronger. Yuan Zhou didn't have time to look at the appearance of the shrimp cake. With a bang, he closed the wooden lid tightly to prevent more air from entering. Only after that did he pay attention to the shrimp cake.

The purple color was almost black and wasn't particularly eye-catching, but the faint red and shiny color, as well as the elegant and rich smell, were very eye-catching.

"The color is pure, the fragrance is everlasting, and it looks very outstanding." Yuan Zhou commented.

Yuan Zhou wasn't in a hurry to taste the shrimp cake. He reached out his hand again and opened the lid of the jar beside him. Compared to the rich fragrance of the shrimp cake, the fragrance of the fierce shrimp sauce was lighter and more elegant. Of course, it didn't lack the fresh fragrance at all.

This time, Yuan Zhou didn't use the chopsticks, but a taste-free spoon and a small plate. He took out a small plate of shrimp paste from the jar in the same way.

After placing the shrimp paste and shrimp cake together, the contrast was very obvious.
