Bai Yuxian's Involvement in the Collision of Fragrant Snow Salt

These words instantly washed away any lingering unpleasantness in the diners' hearts.

So what if I waited a little longer? I can eat an extra skewer of such delicious grilled food for free. What's wrong with waiting a little longer?

The young men who had stepped forward to help, along with the chefs from Ningquanju, all showed expressions of anticipation.

A feast of life is the culmination of a chef's culinary skills.

Nan Xu's cooking is already delicious enough, so how delicious must his life feast be?

Upon hearing this, Master Huang couldn't help but wave his hand and say, "Hey, this is what we should do. Xiao Nan, why are you bothering to do this?"

Even so, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The biggest surprise, of course, came from the players.

As Nan Xu expressed his gratitude, they also heard the notification sound indicating that the mission was completed.

[Ding! You have received the mission reward: 2500 experience points, increased favorability with Nan Xu, and a random gift from Nan Xu!]

"The rewards for this mission are incredibly generous!"

"A feast for the soul? That sounds even better than today's barbecue skewers!"

"Wow! We've hit the jackpot!"

Players cheered in the player channel, and Nanxu smiled upon seeing this.

The reason he didn't immediately attack the servants was because he heard an unexpected system notification:

[Ding! A task related to you has been detected nearby. Would you like to adjust the task description and rewards?]

Without hesitation, he opened the task details page.

After a quick glance, Nan Xu understood.

This task was originally just a low-level task automatically generated by the system to stop diners from causing trouble, and the only reward was experience points.

However, if he wants to further motivate players, he can proactively offer some additional rewards.

Without needing to think, Nan Xu readily added his own favorability rating and then added "a random gift from Nan Xu".

For him, this reward was the most useful thing, and he had the final say on everything.

Moreover, he had already decided what kind of rewards to give to the players.

That's right, showing off his life's feast to a small group of players was a plan he had long ago.

He was confident that he could make a very deep impression on these players with his "Soup of a Hundred Delicacies".

Not to mention, he also possesses the powerful weapon of the White Jade Ginseng.

Even for someone like him, who has the potential to draw all rivers to the sea, combining these two elements is a considerable challenge.

However, if successful, not only will his basic attribute proficiency increase significantly, but all the players who have tasted this dish will also become an excellent promotional case.

Nan Xu knew perfectly well that his current popularity was not only fueled by forum discussions, but also largely due to the difficulty in locating the other world's main characters.

Therefore, he planned to take this opportunity to further expand his influence and win over some well-known players from his previous life as his loyal fans.

Previously, the price of the fragrant mushroom and pork skewers was too high, and very few people were able to actually taste them. But this time, more players have stood up to help him.

Perfect opportunity for him to let these players experience his true skills.

While pondering his next plan, Nan Xu's hands moved with swift and decisive precision, without the slightest carelessness.

As night fell and the moon rose high in the sky, the crowd in front of the barbecue stalls showed no signs of thinning.

Twenty minutes before closing time, Nanxu reminded the customers that they didn't need to queue anymore, but some customers still took a chance.

The diners who were still queuing up did not give up until Nanxu announced that he was closing up shop.

After a busy day, Nanxu took out some mushroom and pork that she had specially saved for herself and grilled the last few "fragrant mushroom and pork skewers".

Now, he finally has the chance to taste the skewers he made himself.

As the tender, juicy pork entered his mouth, Nan Xu's eyebrows instantly relaxed.

This taste is exactly the same as the taste blueprint he had constructed in his mind!

Fragrant Snow Salt is no longer the main ingredient, but rather it works together with other ingredients to create a perfect flavor profile.

Even among the six dishes, this skewer is considered above average.

Nan Xu stretched his body. After eating the kebab, not only did his physique improve slightly, but his mind also became much clearer, and even the sharpness of his senses was amplified.

The former refers to the attribute bonus provided by the kebab, while the latter is a temporary buff.

Nanxu put the remaining skewers into a food storage bag and gave a satisfied smile.

Through this cooking experience, his control over the fragrant snow salt improved significantly.

Now he is fully confident in adding Xiangxue Salt to the Mountain Delicacies Soup.

……

the next day.

After closing for lunch, Ningquanju's chefs led the players and the few generous diners to the largest private room.

"Master Xiao Nan said we can just wait here." Master Huang looked at the sky. "Judging by the time, it should be about time."

"It's alright, it's alright, we're not in a hurry."

The players all looked on with anticipation. In order to properly savor Nanxu's dishes, they deliberately skipped lunch and left their stomachs empty.

We've waited this long already, a little longer won't make a difference.

At this moment, in the kitchen.

Nan Xu stood by the pot, lifted the lid, scooped out a spoonful of soup, and sipped it slightly.

Then, he nodded slightly.

In this "Hundred Delicacies Soup," he referenced the recipe for "Double Stone Soup" and added two ingredients: stone chicken and stone ear fungus. He also combined the recipe for "Yan Du Xian" (a type of stew) with the addition of Wenzheng Mountain bamboo shoots, mushroom pork, and Huizhou ham.

To create a complex flavor profile from the mountain delicacies, he added bamboo fungus, matsutake mushrooms, morel mushrooms... as well as the five-grade mushrooms on the back of the mushroom pig.

Of course, the most important ingredient, the white jade ginseng, was naturally added by him first.

Fortunately, white jade ginseng is an ingredient whose flavor is not particularly prominent; otherwise, it would be quite difficult to make its flavor not overpower other ingredients.

Even so, the high grade of the White Jade Ginseng still gives it a refreshing yet slightly sweet undertone that permeates all the flavors.

The soup doesn't taste too bad for now because Nanxu hasn't added salt for further seasoning.

If the seasoning step is not handled properly, the taste balance that has been painstakingly established will collapse in an instant.

So, Nanxu took out a mushroom and pork skewer from the food bag and quickly finished it in a few bites.

As he felt his mind clear, his confidence grew even stronger.

With the buff effect of mushroom pork skewers that improve thinking speed and enhance the five senses, coupled with the fourth-grade culinary skill "All Rivers Flow into the Sea," mastering the balance between fragrant snow salt and white jade ginseng is not an unattainable goal.
