It has been five days since Zhou Jinnan came back from Zhenxiu Pavilion. He has been doing research alone since the day he came back. Every day, he came to Jushanlou to assign Zhou Shudi, Min Ziqian and others a new day’s cooking practice task. In the remaining time, Zhou Jinnan took a variety of fruits, vegetables and grains to the back kitchen and tried them one by one. Many foods in the interstellar world are similar to those in the Tianxuan Realm, but there are also many new types that Zhou Jinnan has never seen before. Trying one by one every day is enough to consume a lot of time.

“What has Jinnan been busy with these days?” Zhou Shudi finished the task assigned by Zhou Jinnan today, and looked at Zhou Jinnan who was fiddling with something in the corner from a distance with a suspicious look on his face.

“I don’t know, it seems that he is researching some new dishes.” Shu Xiaotong guessed.

 Liang Yongning was more careful. He noticed the fresh and juicy fruits on the counter: “Is he studying dim sum?”

Zhou Shudi turned his head: “Qin Kai, you don’t know either?” Ever since Qin Kai showed his superb knife skills, he took the initiative to ask and was allowed by Zhou Jinnan to enter the kitchen to do some basic cutting work. In terms of knife skills, he directly became a positive comparison teaching material for Zhou Jinnan to educate Zhou Shudi and other “apprentices”.

Qin Kai shook his head: “Nannan didn’t say what it was, but said it was something needed for the restaurant to open.”

Besides these chefs who are not yet able to work independently, what else is missing in the restaurant? Zhou Shudi’s puzzled eyes swept over the ingredients that were eliminated and thrown aside by Zhou Jinnan one by one, and suddenly realized: “Is he studying wine and beverages?”

In addition to providing food that needs to be ordered, another major source of income in the restaurant is the wine and beverages. Zhou Jinnan had previously brought out the wine recipes he had researched, but the brewing environment and conditions required by those recipes were more stringent and took longer, making them extremely troublesome to restore in the interstellar space. They also required a separate application for qualifications, which was a cumbersome procedure. The restaurant was in a hurry to open, so these recipes were temporarily shelved after Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Shudi discussed it.

Now… is Zhou Jinnan picking up this idea again?

“Bayberry, green plum, passion fruit, snow pear, lemon, malt… are you really going to make wine?” Zhou Shudi glanced at the varieties picked by Zhou Jinnan and asked worriedly.

 Zhou Jinnan mashed the strawberries in his hand into juice, squeezed two drops of the variant lime, a specialty of Aquamarine, and mixed it in, then tasted it: “No, there is no time to make wine, so I’ll think about the drinks. The Federation requires a separate application for qualifications for selling privately brewed wine, but there is no requirement that other alcoholic beverages must also apply separately. It should be feasible to develop some new varieties and new formulas of juices, teas, and other spiritual foods.” This was the first time he had the idea of ​​developing a new menu since he came to the interstellar. He plunged into the research and couldn’t get out.

“There are so many types of juices on the market, and there are many pure squeezed ones. Why don’t you just choose from the ready-made options?” Liang Yongning also completed the basic skills task assigned to him by Zhou Jinnan, and followed him and asked curiously.

Zhou Jinnan recalled the fruit juice he had tried: “Those are not compatible with our food. The methods are simpler and more crude. It is better to squeeze juice at home. Some can be paired with a few fixed dishes, but some will destroy the nutrition of spiritual food.” Spiritual food pays more attention to matching than ordinary food and medicinal food. The extraordinary effect is destined to make spiritual food more delicate. If the cooking steps are wrong or one step is unqualified, the therapeutic effect of the finished product will vary greatly. This is why Zhou Jinnan has recently focused on Zhou Shudi and others’ basic skills. Jushanlou will definitely focus on spiritual food, and the matching drinks must not destroy the medicinal effect of spiritual food.

It’s a pity that the wine in his cave is all spiritual wine brewed with ingredients and medicinal materials that are not available in the interstellar. Even Zhou Shudi, Qin Kai, Huo Xuan and others have never seen these treasures. Only Mozhi can open two jars in the cave to enjoy it. Each one is more precious and older than the other. It is not suitable for selling to others, so it is only suitable for private tasting.

 As he spoke, Zhou Jinnan took another flame fruit and took a bite. This was a level 5 ingredient. The orange-red fruit was flat, round, and about the size of a green plum. It tasted extremely sweet, thick and juicy. It should be good for making wine. After making a decision, Zhou Jinnan squeezed the flame fruit and raw milk together to make juice. After tasting it, he added a few pieces of tangerine peel and dried hawthorn and continued to tinker with it.

“Then you might as well prepare it together with the wine.” Huo Xuan learned from Min Ziqian that Zhou Jinnan gave up winemaking and began to study fruit juices. At dinner that day, he proposed to Zhou Jinnan, “The application procedure is not a problem. You can directly give it to me to do it for you.” Huo Xuan had long suspected that Zhou Jinnan could make wine, but he hadn’t seen Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Shudi move for such a long time before, and he thought he had guessed wrong. Now that he knew that Zhou Jinnan just thought that the procedure was time-consuming, he took the initiative to instigate it.

No man doesn’t love wine. If Zhou Jinnan’s spiritual food could really be paired with suitable wine, the taste would be ecstatic just thinking about it.

 Right, isn’t Huo Xuan here? Zhou Jinnan’s eyes lit up, then he remembered the rigid requirements in the application conditions, and waved his hand: “Forget it, I’m too lazy to get the chef’s grade certificate.” The conditions for Zhou Jinnan and the Qin family to improve their identities did not include helping Zhou Jinnan get a chef’s identity directly.

Although there is no rigid rule that requires chefs to obtain a chef’s grade certificate from the Chef Association to open a restaurant, it is necessary to apply for the qualification of private wine brewing. The qualification organization for private brewing is the Interstellar Gourmet Association.

“You didn’t take the chef certification?” Not only Huo Xuan and Tao Bo were impressed by Zhou Jinnan’s cooking skills, but also Shu Xiaotong and Liang Yongning, the new “apprentices”, were surprised. Wu Yan’s eyes were shining.

Zhou Jinnan frowned: “Is there a problem? Why must my cooking skills be assessed by that Gourmet Association?” Zhou Jinnan was very unhappy when he thought about going to the Gourmet Association to cook for free for someone unknown. Who wanted people to point fingers and comment on his spiritual food? Those who were qualified to do so in the entire Tianxuan Realm had already become immortals!

Zhou Jinnan’s words revealed a strong sense of arrogance and self-righteousness, which made everyone silent… Huo Xuan and Tao Bo had a superior family background. Thinking of the examiners of the Food Association that he had met, it seemed that… there was indeed no one who was better than Zhou Jinnan?

Doesn’t the chef exam require the examiner to be better than the examinee?

“You just don’t want to cook for strangers for free, right?” Zhou Shudi is worthy of being the father of Zhou Jinnan’s body. He has been with Zhou Jinnan for such a long time. He saw through Zhou Jinnan’s true thoughts at a glance and said in unison with Mozhi, who knew Zhou Jinnan best.

Zhou Jinnan:…
