Chapter 4, The Powerful System

Black Pepper Potatoes, Level 1 Gourmet Dish, Main Ingredients: Potatoes, Olive Oil, Accompaniments: Black Pepper, Edible Salt

Looking again at these shredded potatoes, each one is as thick as a toothpick, lying evenly and in a staggered manner on the cutting board

This person has started to be narcissistic again

Since the culinary system has provided so many recipes for potatoes, I will start by trying the simpler ones. Well, I cannot attempt the more advanced ones as my permissions do not allow it

In the entire live broadcast room, no one was chatting with him, so he began to express his thoughts alone. As he spoke more and more passionately, he became increasingly excited. Finally, as Ye Fei's knife sounds grew more intense, he unhesitatingly started to send applause and flowers, indulging in the moment.

The sound of the blade rang out once more, akin to a beautiful melody

In an instant, the entire computer screen was almost completely filled with this guy's props

However, while he felt a sense of frustration in his heart, he was also vaguely shocked. At present, all he possessed was merely the most basic knife skills, and the system even stated that it was not yet considered a complete mastery of basic knife skills. What, then, would advanced knife skills be like? How exciting!

How long have you been practicing your knife skills, host

Ye Fei was drenched in sweat. Although it seemed easy just now, it was his first time completing it, so he was highly focused, fearing even the slightest mistake

Golden Silk Potatoes, Level 1 Gourmet Dish, Main Ingredients: Potatoes, Cooking Oil, Accompaniments: Ketchup

Cutting potatoes into shreds is undoubtedly more challenging than cutting them into slices, as cutting potato slices involves a single action: one hand holds the potato while the other wields the knife to make the cut

However, cutting potato shreds is different; the sliced potatoes do not simply lie there obediently for you to cut. Their cross-section contains starch, and combined with the moisture inherent in the potatoes, it becomes slippery, causing them to move while you are cutting.

This knife skill is remarkable, surpassing that of many chefs I have seen. It seems that the host is on the path to becoming popular.

With the final cut, all the potato slices on the cutting board were transformed into fine potato shreds by Ye Fei

The round potatoes had already been transformed into potato shreds. Ye Fei paused for a moment, knowing that since the system's level one permissions had been opened, it was unlikely that there would only be knife skills; there should be dishes as well. He wondered if there was anything related to potatoes.

In one breath, Ye Fei finished cutting another potato, then set down the kitchen knife in his hand and let out a long sigh

Now it is finally completed, and Ye Fei can be said to have quietly let out a sigh of relief

Staring blankly at the overwhelming array of potato dishes in his mind, Ye Fei was completely stunned. He could never have imagined that just a single potato could be transformed into so many culinary delights

Looking at the neatly arranged light yellow potato slices on the cutting board, Ye Fei broke into a smile

The speed increased rapidly, and finally, the only sound that could be heard in the entire room was the crisp and pleasant clanging of Ye Fei's kitchen knife against the cutting board. The sound was as urgent as raindrops, making it impossible to discern how many cuts he had made on a single potato

As soon as this idea emerged, a wealth of information regarding dishes flooded his mind

At this moment, in Ye Fei's live streaming room as a top-tier food broadcaster, the audience has been astonished by Ye Fei's exceptional knife skills after tasting dishes from around the world

Ye Fei immediately wilted, this guy really knows how to pick his moments to strike. Haven't I ever reached this level of skill with a knife? Now that I finally have a chance to be narcissistic, you just had to jump out and say something, it's truly frustrating

The recipe provided by the system includes both vegetable dishes and soups, featuring both Chinese cooking methods and Western culinary techniques

However, after making a few cuts, Ye Fei became bolder, as he discovered that by following the knife skills method in his mind, the potato slices remained obedient and did not move at all.

Everything he is currently doing has already begun to be live-streamed on the computer through a hidden mobile camera

At this moment, Ye Fei was filled with joy, completely immersed in the pleasure of cutting potatoes, to the extent that he even forgot he was currently live streaming

This is also very good for many people when slicing potatoes, but when it comes to shredding potatoes, the thickness starts to vary.

Shiitake Mushroom and Potato Soup, Level 2 Permission Cuisine, Main Ingredients: Potatoes, Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms, Accompaniments: Edible Salt, Broth, Cheese, Thyme, Cellulose, etc

I never expected that one day my knife skills would reach such a level

"Host, do not become overly complacent; the knife skills you have acquired are merely the most basic level provided by the system, and your current proficiency is still some distance away from mastering even the basic knife skills." Just as Ye Fei was feeling confident, the Meibo system spoke.

In this way, Ye Fei actually found it more enjoyable to cut potato shreds than to cut potato slices

I have spared no effort to reason with you

Ye Feile was so delighted that he could hardly close his mouth, but after a moment of joy, he calmed down. After all, he was guarding a universal treasure in his mind, and he could not afford to waste it.

System : `` ... ... ''

After cutting one potato, Ye Fei took out another potato, and then with his right hand, the kitchen knife flew swiftly, starting to chop away with a clattering sound

Excitedly rubbing his hands together, Ye Fei said: "Although my knife skills may seem unremarkable to you, they represent a significant improvement for me. Now, let's begin slicing the potatoes into shreds."

Potato Shrimp Balls, Level 2 Permission Cuisine, Main Ingredients: Potatoes, Prawns, Cooking Oil, Accompaniments: Scallions, Garlic, Starch, Dried Chili, Milk, Peanut Powder, Edible Salt, Soy Sauce, etc

At the beginning, Ye Fei cut very slowly, as he was also afraid that the potato slices would slip off

"So beautiful, isn't it, system? Have you ever seen such beautiful shredded potatoes?" Ye Fei asked shamelessly

Applause and flowers are both reward props set by the Qiuqiu live streaming platform, with each applause costing 1 yuan, each flower costing 1 yuan, and each lollipop costing 1 yuan. These are the most basic reward props. Then there are higher-level rewards such as cakes and beers. At an even higher level, there are various vehicles, ranging from mountain bikes, electric bikes, and motorcycles to various sports cars, RVs, and limousines. Beyond that, there are even more advanced props, such as luxury cruise ships and private jets. The top-tier gift props on the Qiuqiu live streaming platform, which are also the most valuable, are aircraft carriers and spacecraft. Each of these two props costs 30,000 yuan, and this is in real money.

As I savor the delights of the world, I watch Ye Fei joyfully chopping vegetables, while flowers and applause are recklessly thrown outward.

The skill of the chef can be sensed through the sound of the knife, which conveys the exquisite quality of the dishes being prepared. The sound of the knife in the hands of the host resembles a musical composition, both magnificent and deep, restrained yet possessing a bold rhythm, truly impressive

Ye Fei did not delay, reaching out to take a few slices of potato, then arranging them neatly and evenly to one side. He picked up the kitchen knife with his right hand and began to cut.

As for all of this, Ye Fei was completely unaware; he was still diligently slicing the last few potato slices

Oh my goodness, does it have to be so exaggerated? I just wanted to make a potato dish, and you brought me all the potato dishes from around the world. However... I like it

... ...

After sifting through his thoughts for half a day, Ye Fei finally chose a dish with first-level authority—golden silk potatoes
