While waiting, Du Chengfeng was not truly idle.
In terms of culinary skills, he had nearly mastered them. Though there was certainly a gap between him and top chefs, that gap was like the difference between the top three and the fourth or fifth place. Once culinary skills reached a peak, further progress depended on luck to some extent. After all, the ingredients fit for consumption were limited, and the acceptable flavor combinations weren't numerous. Moreover, Du Chengfeng's chosen approach was not on complex flavors but on simplifying steps, such as teaching even pigs how to stew meat.
However, progress was temporarily stalled. Although he had considered sewing seasoning bags and using large cuts of meat, he still couldn't find a good way to teach pigs to boil water and monitor heat.
"Moments like these require a bit of inspiration."
After failing yet again, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh. It seemed some things could not be achieved by sheer hard work alone.
