Huang Tao was quite distressed, feeling that teaching on the spot was somewhat tricky.

He thought he was still not used to it.

From being unknown to stepping onto the stage to teach.

"Hmm, what dish should I make?"

He was a bit stumped.

Since he wasn't sure, he might as well summon the system and ask questions!

He silently recited "system" in his heart.

In an instant…

The system interface slowly unfolded in his mind.

Using his mind, he opened the Points Mall, wondering what culinary skills he could exchange with the over one million points he had accumulated over time.

A new game interface flashed in his mind, appearing prominently.

[Basic Knife Skills: 100,000 points]

[Basic Pot Flipping Skill: 100,000 points]

[Basic Sugar Art Skills: 100,000 points]

[Basic Carving Skill: 100,000 points]

[Basic Accompaniment Skill: 100,000 points]

[Basic Fire Skill: 100,000 points]

[…]

Uh~

Was he opening it the wrong way?

Why did the game interface still pop up with cooking skills?!

He didn't have any nostalgia at all.

He directly used his mind to turn to the next page.

This page.

It was full of recipe skills.

Like steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chick, roasted goose…

At first glance, it seemed like he was just listing menu items!

The points cost for these exchanges was quite reasonable!

Starting from just 100,000 points.

He looked left and right, up and down, and felt that none of these recipe skills were suitable for his "on-the-spot teaching".

Fine!

Then change it again!

See if there are options from the major cuisines he could choose from?

He wanted to exchange for a dish skill that he could showcase!

He used his mind to open the directory index function, praying that he wouldn't see that glaring "You do not have permission to view" message again.

If that happened, he'd be BBQed!

Perhaps his heartfelt prayer moved the heavens!

The scene changed, and the pictures on the list were no longer gray and dull, nor did any sudden glaring messages jump out.

Instead, they were bright and clear.

What did this mean?

This meant he had the privilege to view it!

Even the privilege to exchange!

Indeed, with over a million points in hand, even the damn system had to obediently open its doors to welcome him!

With excitement, he used his mind to open the Eight Major Cuisines on the list.

The page turned…

[Huaxia Cuisine has many schools in cooking, with the most influential and representative being recognized by the public as: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui cuisines, known as China's "Eight Major Cuisines."]

[The formation of a cuisine is inseparable from its long history and unique cooking characteristics. It is also influenced by this region's natural geography, climate conditions, resources, specialties, and eating habits. Some use personification to depict the "Eight Major Cuisines": Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines are like the graceful beauties of Jiangnan; Shandong and Anhui cuisines are like the simple and honest Northern heroes; Guangdong and Fujian cuisines are like elegant and tasteful gentlemen; Sichuan and Hunan cuisines are like scholars rich in content and skillful in arts.]

[The culinary skills of Huaxia's "Eight Major Cuisines" each have their charm, and the characteristics of their dishes each have their merits.]

[Shandong Cuisine:]

[School: Composed of the local flavors of Jinan and Jiaodong.]

[Characteristics: Strong flavor, fond of scallions and garlic, excelling especially in seafood, soup dishes, and various animal offal.]

[Famous Dishes: Quick-fried large clams, braised sea snails, sweet and sour carp…]

[Sichuan Cuisine:]

[Characteristics: Known for its variety, complexity, richness, and deep flavors.]

[Famous Dishes: Mixed Snake, Roasted Suckling Pig, Salted Baked Chicken, Winter Melon Bowl, Sweet and Sour Pork…]

[…]

The page was full of detailed introductions to various major cuisines, making Huang Tao feel enlightened, gaining a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Eight Major Cuisines.

The urgent task now was to find a dish of high quality and reasonable price.

He focused his research on Zhejiang Cuisine, as it better suited everyone's tastes.

[Zhejiang Cuisine]

[School: Consists of local dishes from Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, with the most famous being Hangzhou cuisine.]

[Features: Tender and smooth, rich and mellow, refreshing and not greasy.]

[Famous dishes: Hangzhou Braised Duck, Dongpo Pork, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Beggar's Chicken, Oil-braised Bamboo Shoots, Song Sister Fish Soup, Pork Braised with Dried Vegetables...]

Let him take a look, how many points are needed for redemption?

He clicked on the dish names one by one with his mind.

[Pork Braised with Dried Vegetables: 1,200,000]

[West Lake Vinegar Fish: 1,200,000]

[Beggar's Chicken: 1,200,000]

[Dongpo Pork: 1,500,000]

[Hangzhou Braised Duck: 1,500,000]

[Song Sister Fish Soup: 1,500,000]

[...]

Wow~

Truly worthy of being part of the Eight Cuisines, a skill for a dish like West Lake Vinegar Fish starts at a million points.

Even someone as prepared as Huang Tao was a bit tongue-tied.

Originally, he thought that with more than a million points, he could redeem a famous dish skill from Zhejiang Cuisine and still have some left.

Turns out, it was almost not enough to redeem!

He thought about it and understood the reason behind it.

Dishes of such extraordinary caliber, given they have on-demand purchase permission, must be quite valuable.

Very reasonable!

And thinking back, the dish skills he received as system rewards before were worth over hundreds of thousands too.

These are famous dishes; starting at a million points is quite an appropriate pricing.

You get what you pay for!

Huang Tao looked at the "West Lake Vinegar Fish" and "Beggar's Chicken" that he could afford, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose "West Lake Vinegar Fish."

Click to redeem!

One million two hundred thousand points were instantly deducted!

Leaving only sixty-six points!

This, after half a month of hard work, back to square one just like that!

Broke with a loud clang!

The next second!

[Congratulations to the host for successfully redeeming the famous dish------West Lake Vinegar Fish.]

[Cooking method for West Lake Vinegar Fish...]

[Cooking techniques for West Lake Vinegar Fish...]

[Ingredients for West Lake Vinegar Fish...]

[Experience package for West Lake Vinegar Fish...]

[...]

In an instant, a flood of information surged into Huang Tao's mind.

The next second!

He felt his head filled with a lot of information about West Lake Vinegar Fish.

The cooking method, techniques, experience, and other related professional knowledge about West Lake Vinegar Fish were all imprinted in his mind at this moment.

Super fulfilling!

Indeed, a famous dish is different; the information is more than double that of other dishes!

Next!

Have to work hard to earn more points!

Xuanxuan saw her dad silent and blinked her eyes curiously, gently patted his shoulder, and murmured, "Daddy, what are you thinking?"

"Daddy is thinking about what dish to teach in the afternoon's live demonstration!"

"So daddy, have you decided yet?"

"I've decided!"

"What dish is it then?"

Huang Tao played mysterious, "Guess?"

Xuanxuan tilted her head to think, then asked, "Daddy, is it Fish Ball Soup?"

Huang Tao shook his head, "Nope!"

Xuanxuan sighed in slight disappointment, pouted her glossy little lips, gently shook his arm, and said coyly, "Daddy, I can't guess. Just tell me~"

Faced with Xuanxuan's coquettish pleading, Huang Tao couldn't resist.

He smiled dotingly, "Okay, I'll tell you, it's West Lake Vinegar Fish..."

"A new dish again~"

Xuanxuan clapped her little hands happily.

Though she hasn't tasted it, anything made by daddy is sure to be delicious~

"Xuanxuan, Tao, wash your hands for lunch..." Song Cailian had cooked lunch and called them to eat.

"Grandma, grandma, daddy is going to make West Lake Vinegar Fish this afternoon~"

Xuanxuan the little announcer happily delivered this news to her grandma.

Ji's eyes lit up, "Wow~ West Lake Vinegar Fish..."

"Boss, will the restaurant have new West Lake Vinegar Fish? I wonder if it's expensive or not?" Yan Ming, the foodie, immediately thought of it.

Huang Tao chuckled, "The restaurant will definitely have new ones, but as for the price, we'll decide then! However, before the festival ends, I'll make a meal for you guys to taste first..."

Ji shouted joyfully, "Awesome, long live the boss~"

"Alright, stop with the long live, let's eat first! We still have work to do later!"

Huang Tao planned to tell the staff about the menu after eating.
