"Since I managed to handle spicy chicken cubes on my first try, fried rice shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Chen Mo had figured out the rules of the meal cart's analysis function.
Basically, as long as he needed a recipe, he just had to roughly put in the ingredients and seasonings according to the recipe, and the meal cart would analyze based on the owner's actual situation, likely giving him the recipe he desired.
If there are any dishes in this world you can make while sleepwalking with your eyes closed, there are only three: instant noodles, curry rice, and fried rice.
So if people who make these three well claim they can cook, don't believe them.
In a moment of urgency, this was the only trick Chen Mo could think of.
The little guy was spinning around anxiously after Chen Mo tossed it away, as his good buddy was still waiting at the internet café for their meal, thinking this boss must have some issues. Whether you have the spicy chicken cubes or not, why throw my rice away?
What did the plain white rice ever do to you?
And Chen Mo, upon seeing the new recipe that appeared before him, had a rather peculiar expression.
Casual hodgepodge fried rice?
Eagerly opening the recipe book to have a look, he found that unlike before, this time the recipe started not directly with instructions on how to make it, but with a written note!
[Casual Hodgepodge Fried Rice: What is fried rice? It's about using the simplest method to achieve top-notch cooking when you're too lazy to make a new meal and have some leftover rice!]
[If fried rice were to be constrained by the choice and combination of ingredients, how would it be different from making a whole new meal?]
[Therefore, after analysis, the system concludes that the best way to make fried rice is to do it freely—add whatever you like, use whatever is convenient!]
[Recipe Preparation: One serving of fried rice, ingredients as you wish, seasoning as needed.]
No wonder Chen Mo had a strange expression; this recipe completely overturned his understanding of fried rice.
In restaurants, the common fried rice is egg fried rice, soy sauce fried rice, and in China, there's even a place famous for its fried rice!
But regardless of the type, these fried rice dishes all have specific ingredients and preparation methods.
And what did the system's analysis come up with?
Essentially: Do whatever you want!
Darn it!
If not for the three consecutive surprises the system gave Chen Mo, he wouldn't have taken a second glance at such a recipe.
"I'll give it a try then!"
If we're talking about convenience, then the most convenient thing is...
Chen Mo turned around and said, "Old Liu, fry me two sausages."
"What the heck?" Uncle Liu was just taking a sip of his favorite liquor, ready to watch the fun with Brother Squid, and was dumbfounded by Chen Mo's request, "Why do you need sausages?"
"I'm buying them from you, quickly give me two fried sausages!"
Two sausages, 5 Yuan.
Old Liu stood up in a daze, placing the crispy, golden-brown fried sausages on a plate, slowly shaking some seasoning on the sausages with a slotted spoon.
"Brother Squid, give me a skewer of grilled squid!"
Brother Squid: ???
"Brother Jiaozi, are you trying to sell our snacks to this guy to cope?"
Brother Squid thought Chen Mo was really being untrustworthy.
People wanted your spicy chicken cubes, and since you can't make them, you're buying our snacks to sell?
Selling at original price is one thing, but if Brother Jiaozi dares to make a profit as a middleman, Brother Squid would not agree!
Chen Mo shook his head, "Hurry up!"
Brother Squid stood up speechlessly, drizzled sauce on a freshly grilled skewer of squid, sprinkled some seasoning, and handed it to Chen Mo's meal cart.
"Brother Squid, I love eating onions."
Brother Squid reluctantly gave Chen Mo a small bowl of chopped onions.
"Old Liu, I can handle spicy food!"
Old Liu, still dumbfounded, filled a small dish with chili powder and handed it over.
Both of them were curious and puzzled, scratching their heads in frustration!
I mean, normally speaking, if you've sold out of something, you've sold out—what can the customer say?
But you not only threw away the customer's rice, but you're also buying sausages and squid from us—what on earth are you doing?
Only after Chen Mo successfully got the chili powder and chopped onions did he take a deep breath, quickly slicing Old Liu's fried sausages into diagonal pieces and the grilled squid into small cubes.
After cutting them up, Chen Mo unobtrusively picked a piece of sausage, a piece of squid cube, and a few grains of white rice and tossed them into the input slot once more.
[Analyzing further for you...]
Soon, new text appeared in the system in his mind. Chen Mo clenched his fists; his guess was correct—the intelligence of the meal cart system far exceeded his expectations.
[Casual Hodgepodge Fried Rice—Squid Sausage Fried Rice!]
As the recipe appeared, a mental image of the dish's preparation also played out in Chen Mo's mind. Without hesitating, Chen Mo reached out again, "Give me a serving of your rice."
The little guy was dumbfounded, "No way!"
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned, "I won't throw it... even if I did, why not let me give you two servings later?"
The little guy was confused, too, feeling it was strange for the little boss to throw away his rice without warning. But after thinking about it, it made sense; if he threw it, why not just ask him to compensate me?
For some reason, the little guy handed his serving of rice to Chen Mo again.
"Heat oil in the pan, fry two eggs first!"
For Chen Mo, who had already mastered the spicy chicken cubes, this was no challenge. The powerful stove burst into play, instantly heating the peanut oil until it began to smoke as it entered the pan.
Chen Mo, who made egg dumplings daily, had also mastered the technique of cracking eggs with one hand!
No need to crack the eggs into a bowl and mix them; he directly broke two eggs into the hot oil, swiftly stirring the egg mixture with his spatula in hand!
Under high heat, the egg mixture quickly solidified before being immediately broken apart by Chen Mo's spatula, turning into tiny scrambled egg pieces in just a few seconds.
"Add the ingredients and continue frying!"
Following the image in his mind, Chen Mo first added chopped onions to stir-fry. As the light ball passed the flashpoint, the aromatic smell of eggs and onions became evident.
With the constant output of dishes, Chen Mo now had a clear understanding of the changes dishes undergo during preparation.
As the light ball was about to reach the center of the flashpoint, the onion pieces in the pan noticeably softened.
"Sausage and squid into the pan together!"
Both of these ingredients were already cooked. Once added to the frying pan, they collided with the eggs and onions. What was once a faint onion aroma began to transcend at this moment!
