Chapter 225: Finally Obtained the Recipe
"Yes, this onion was actually bought for making curry, but you didn't force it in. I'm very satisfied." Dakong nodded with satisfaction. If Heath had forced the onion in, Dakong's opinion of Heath would have been lower.
Heath was delighted. In that case, wouldn’t that mean the recipe for edible quartz was in our hands?
Dakong didn't say anything, but picked up the chopsticks and finished all the remaining food. Then he put the dishes on the sink. He didn't let Heath wash them, but washed them patiently himself. After washing, he wiped his hands and then pulled Heath to sit on the chair in the kitchen.
"Do you know why edible quartz was lost?" Dakong calmly took a puff of cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. However, he would sit downwind when smoking so that the smoke would not be inhaled by Heath.
"Because no one does it?" Heath said tentatively. Dakong shook his head and then took out a piece of quartz from his pocket. This should be edible quartz.
"Because this thing is very troublesome and time-consuming to make, it has been lost over time." Dakong smiled and weighed the edible quartz in his hand. The next second, a Hu Di appeared beside Dakong. It stretched out its hand, held the crystal, and twisted it slowly. The edible quartz was instantly twisted, and the toxins were discharged.
Heath listened quietly, he didn't say anything, but Heath knew that edible quartz needed to be removed with super powers before eating. However, what Heath didn't know was how to make this thing. After all, Heath still didn't understand it.
"It's actually very simple to make edible quartz. You have to boil it in water that's just enough to cover it over high heat. When the water is completely dry, pour in enough water to just cover it within thirty seconds. Continue boiling it. Do this twenty-two times. Then, throw it into ice water within thirty seconds. Leave it for twelve hours and it will become like a jellyfish. You can then handle it at will." Dakong said calmly and Heath was stunned.
Is this method complicated? It is very complicated. The requirements and time are very detailed. Although Heath has not done it yet, he can already guess how difficult it will be. But is it difficult? In fact, it is not very difficult.
The difficulty of this thing is that it requires the chef to keep watch over it for 30 seconds each time, otherwise all the previous efforts may be wasted if he misses it once. But the easy part is that this thing can be made entirely with a modern production line. The machine can add water accurately, so it is not that troublesome at all.
"Are you confused?" Dakong smiled with a strange expression on his face. Heath nodded. He really couldn't figure it out. Although this thing looked complicated, it actually didn't seem to be that complicated.
It is really not that difficult in front of the machines in modern society. At least Heath thinks that if he has money, he can ask someone to make a small machine to easily make edible quartz.
"The most troublesome thing about this thing is that every time you take it out, the chef needs to wrap it with his hands and rub it twice. I don't know why, but it's so troublesome to make it edible." Dakong shrugged. In fact, it has been several decades since he last made this thing. Dakong has made it several times and is exhausted.
Heath's mouth twitched . If that was the case, it would be very troublesome indeed.
"Moreover, the amount of a piece of edible quartz like this that can be obtained after it is made is very small, or even very little. If you want to enjoy it to your heart's content, you need to make a large piece of edible quartz." Dakong smoked with a smile, then put out the remaining cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.
Although Heath felt that there was no need to throw it away, after all, there was only a cigarette butt left and it was impossible to light it at all, but when he saw Mr. Dakong put out the cigarette, Heath still didn't say this.
"As for how you want to eat this thing after it's made, it depends on your own ideas." Dakong simply explained the cooking method of edible quartz.
Heath touched his chin. Although he knew the answer, it was still quite troublesome to make this thing. No wonder it was lost. After all, Heath thought it was outrageous that something so troublesome to make had not been lost.
But if you think about it carefully, this thing can be produced by machines. You just need to calculate the time for each drying in advance, and then make these things in a period of time, hire some workers to take them out, rub them a few times, and continue to cook them.
Heath felt that the loss of edible quartz might be related to other things. If the profit of this thing was very high, Heath didn't think these shrewd businessmen would easily give up this golden goose that laid golden eggs.
"Thank you, Mr. Dakong, thank you very much." Heath said seriously. He planned to take a rest tomorrow and then start trying to make this unique edible quartz. When he was done, Heath would be able to complete that unique task.
"It's okay, it's okay. I think you're a pretty good-looking boy. You're quite handsome. You're half as handsome as I was back then." Old man Dakong took Heath out of the kitchen with a smile. Heath looked at the old man with a helpless look. This old man was really... unique.
"Huh? Isn't this the young boss of the breakfast cart? How did you get here?" A surprised voice came. Heath turned his head and saw the old man who used to come to his place to buy food and whose taste would change, standing there with a surprised look on his face at the stairwell in the corridor.
"Do you know each other?" Dakong looked at Heath and the old man with interest and asked with a smile.
"Well... this grandpa is an old customer of my dining car. He often comes to my dining car to eat during this period." Heath nodded, then greeted the old man politely.
However, after seeing Dakong, the old man snorted coldly and left with a stern face, which made Heath stunned. Could it be that this old man had some grudge against Mr. Dakong?
"This old guy... forget it, he's also a poor man. So Heath, you should go back quickly. It's still a long way from here to Junsha's apartment." Old man Dakong looked at the old man unhappily, then patted Heath on the back with a smile.
Heath nodded. He did plan to go back as soon as possible. After all, the ingredients for tomorrow had not been prepared yet.
