Cannon Fodder Becomes A God Of Cooking Chapter 4: Part 1


    Strangely enough, it was clear that she only had 20  yuan left in her pocket, but Qin Xin was not worried at all.

        On the contrary, Qin Xin even felt very secure.

        Qin Xin pasted the plastic-sealed price list and payment slip onto the curtain on the top of the cart.

        She then went back upstairs and washed the buckets, spoons and brushes she had bought and borrowed the kitchen on the first floor from Mei Congqing. 

     Qin Xin first washed her hands carefully. She opened the bag of flour and cornmeal, took out about one catty of flour, took some starch and mixed it in, and synthesized the dough and put it aside.

        She then took out about 200 grams of flour and cornmeal, mixed it with water and put it in a large bowl, stirred it well and put it aside.

        After finishing the flour work, Qin Xin took out one more lettuce she bought, washed and broke it into leaves and set it aside.

       Qin Xin ran downstairs again and put the fire in the cooker.

        Mei did not expect Qin Xin to even know how to make a fire, so she had more suspicions about Qin Xin's hard life.

        After building the fire, Qin Xin returned to the first floor to clean her hands and then rolled out the wonton wrapper and cut it into strips.

        Qin Xin poured the oil she had bought into a pot, then added the cut wonton wrappers to it, browned them and set them aside to drain the oil.

      After frying a pound of crackers into crispy and waiting for them to cool down, Qin Xin put them in a bag and then took out three train sausages, three eggs and ran downstairs with the batter from before.

        Mei Congqing and Hu Xingguo watched as Qin Xin worked her way up and down the stairs.

        Qin Xin first brushed a layer of oil on the iron plate, scooped up a spoonful of batter from a large bowl, placed it on the iron plate of the cooker, picked up a wooden board and quickly pushed the flour across the plate.

         Qin Xin first brushed a layer of oil on the iron plate, scooped a spoonful of batter from the big bowl and placed it on the iron plate of the stove. She picked up a wooden board and quickly pushed the flour to spread the whole iron plate. Qin Xin picks up an egg in her left hand, breaks it up and spreads it on top of the pastry.

        The moisture from the flour immediately receded, turning from a light yellow to a golden colour. Feeling that the heat was almost ready, Qin Xin turned the pastry over and brushed it with a layer of chilli sauce. She then teared the ham sausage and sliced ​​it into four pieces with a scraper and spread it on the crepes. She take out the crackers and the greens vegetables and arrange them neatly, sprinkle with a little spring onion and coriander, then roll them up quickly, cut them in half and pack them in paper.

   This first chinese crepes was a great success and Qin Xin was happy to take it to the supermarket and hand it to Mei Congqing.

        Mei Congqing took it, and the food were still a little hot. "I could smell it just now."

        Qin Xin said, "Taste it."

       Mei took a bite. It was not that she had never eaten this before, but it was the first time she had eaten something that tasted so good.

      She could not see the eggs, but she could tell that the eggs were completely wrapped around the crepe, and the crackers tasted like crispy biscuits, so when she took a bite, it was so crispy that even the tired ham sausages could whet one's appetite.

       Mei nodded repeatedly, "Delicious, I didn't expect you to make such delicious snack."

        Qin Xin said, "It's good that Big Sister Mei likes it."

        Qin Xin went back and made two more, one for Brother Hu, and Hu Xingguo gave him a compliment, while Qin Xin intended to keep the other for herself.

        Qin Xin took the chinese crepe back to the room and planned to clean up the kitchen before coming back to eat the foods, when he heard the mechanical tone once again, "Customer 08277 is about to enter the plane trading system."

      Quickly, Qin Xin entered the plane Trading System again, and with the previous experience, Qin Xin did not panic this time.

        "Searching for items available for sale for customer 08277."

        Unlike last time, Qin Xin had an additional chinese crepe in the item bar, and the icon was lit up?

        Qin Xin clicked on the image and heard a ding.

        Then the system appeared, "Redeemable points 1 point, click whether to redeem."

       Qin Xin did not know what this point was for. However, after thinking about it, Qin Xin clicked on the redemption button, the big deal was that she would only lose the chinese crepe.

       "Redemption successful, customer 08227 existing points: 1."

        At the same time, two more items were added next to the points, both of which were redeemable for one point.

      They were the Bone Strengthening Pill and Beauty Pill respectively.

    While Qin Xin was struggling, the mechanical voice said, "Customer 08227 is advised to exchange for the Bone Strengthening Pill, upon inspection, customer 08277's bones are in a low condition."

        Low? Qin Xin almost jumped up. She was only 21 years old now and her functions had not yet started to deteriorate, so how could she be considered inferior?

        "Exchange completed, customer 08227 will be exiting the plane trading system."

        Qin Xin found that the food on the table had disappeared and was replaced by a round-shaped item.

        Qin Xin picked it up, it didn't look like anything special, but after thinking about it, Qin Xin fed it into her mouth.

        In an instant, Qin Xin felt a cool sensation in her bones. She was originally a bit tired after a busy day, but she didn't expect that with one Bone Strengthening Pill, all the discomfort in Qin Xin's body would disappear.

        Qin Xin was a little surprised to learn that she had exchanged one chinese crepes for one of these pills.

     This pill is too powerful. Qin Xin was a bit surprised. In this way, she exchanged one chinese crepe for a pill like this. She totally earned it!

        It was a good thing the kitchen wasn't being cleaned, so Qin Xin went down to make another snack before she started cleaning.

      After taking a bite of the chinese crepe, Qin Xin did not find them as good as Mei's sister had said. After all, the chilli sauce tasted mediocre, and the ham sausage took away a lot of the flavour, while the crisps crepe and crackers tasted okay.

        After eating, Qin Xin cleaned up the kitchen before going upstairs to rest.

" WHAT IS JIAN BING
Known as Chinese crepes, Jian Bing/煎饼(or Jian Bing Guozi/煎饼果子) is one of the most popular breakfasts sold at street stalls in China. It consists of wheat and grain-based crepe, an egg, deep-fried crackers (known as Bao Cui/薄脆 in Chinese), 2-3 savoury/spicy sauces, chopped scallions & coriander. Folded into an envelope, Jian Bing is usually eaten as finger food while people travel to work/school on busy mornings."





P.S 09/09/21 - I've completed the editing of chapters 1-3. I'm now working on Chapter 4-10, revising and changing the name of the food ( chinese crepes). Chapter 4-10 is using multi-grain cake/pie/pancake. 

Warning: Chapter 4-10 is full of errors and mistakes.

Here's the wattpad link: CFBAGOC
It's currently on chapter 3, but I'll update it to include the revised chapter.
Maybe I'll finish everything by next week.

  2. What is synthetic noodles? Is that plastic model of noodles? You see them in Japanese sushi places, looks like real food but is a display item. Although the context might mean pre-made noodles??
