Chapter 86 I can't let myself down, even if I'm sorry to anyone else.

The imperial chef produced a set of uniforms used in the imperial kitchen from somewhere and had Bai Nuo change into them.

When Bai Nuo took the clothes, they disappeared from her hands in the next second. She looked down at herself and immediately raised an eyebrow.

This study room even has a one-click outfit change function!

No, it's a hand!

The royal chef nodded in satisfaction, then led Bai Nuo up two steps to the stove.

The entire imperial kitchen was magnificent and grand, with several large stoves lined up in a row, clean and tidy, with wooden shelves next to them displaying various seasonings and earthenware jars containing unknown contents.

"Now let me first talk about the layout of our Imperial Kitchen. The Imperial Kitchen is managed by the Imperial Household Department. Under the Imperial Kitchen, there are meat processing, vegetarian, oven cooking, pastry, and rice processing departments."

The meat section is mainly responsible for cooking meat, fish, and seafood.

The vegetarian chef is in charge of cooking vegetables and other ingredients.

The Dim Sum Bureau was mainly responsible for making steamed buns, dumplings, sesame cakes, and some unique court-made pastries.

A banquet involves preparing various types of porridge, rice, etc.

The management of imperial cuisine was extremely strict, the most important aspect of which was that the flavors had to be exactly as described. Each dish had to have the correct flavor.

Furthermore, the ingredients cannot be combined arbitrarily. For example, eight-treasure dish must contain eight ingredients; any eight ingredients are acceptable, but there absolutely cannot be more than eight or fewer than eight ingredients.

Bai Nuo listened in a daze as the imperial chef rattled off a long list of taboos and strict rules regarding imperial cuisine.

Finally, I have to say, no wonder this is the master chef of the imperial era. The requirements are even stricter than the civil service exams I heard about in my previous life.

However, as expected of the imperial chefs who were transformed from the ten master chefs of the entire imperial kitchen, there was a lot of food available.

Bai Nuo stared blankly as the other person rattled off a string of dish names like a Beijing alleyway storyteller, making her dizzy and lightheaded. She was already turning to look for the one-click exit button.

This is torture!

Finally, the head chef finished reciting the names of the dishes in a fast-paced rhythmic recitation. As if worried that Bai Nuo wouldn't believe him, he turned around and started taking out a bunch of ingredients, intending to show off his skills to Bai Nuo and make this not-so-attentive student follow him wholeheartedly.

The head chef cooked very quickly, and his knife skills were so impressive that Bai Nuo's eyes were dazzled. Not only that, he also summoned two pale-faced, expressionless, and terrifying apprentices.

After an hour in the study room, Bai Nuo looked at the squirrel-shaped yellow croaker, braised prawns, poached chicken, lotus leaf pork, braised lion's head meatballs, as well as silver thread rolls, radish cakes, and millet porridge on the table.

Slurp!

The head chef looked at Bai Nuo with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Your Highness can try it. Only by tasting the true flavor of the imperial cuisine can you decide whether you want to learn from me properly."

"Then I won't be polite, hehe!"

Bai Nuo smiled foolishly, his eyes were completely blank, his mind and heart filled with nothing but the dishes on the table in front of him.

With chopsticks in her right hand and a spoon in her left, she couldn't stop eating once she took a bite, thoroughly enjoying herself.

The key point is...

She didn't feel full at all in the study room. Except when she used up too much of her superpower, her appetite was just like that of an ordinary girl. She usually only ate a small bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables.

But when Bai Nuo stopped, she realized that she had actually finished all the food on the table.

...

Holy crap, I've become a glutton!

"My lady, don't worry. You won't feel full here, but your sense of taste will be normal, so no matter how much you eat, it won't have any effect on your health. Are you satisfied now, my lady?"

"I studied!"

If Bai Nuo hesitated even for a moment, she would want to slap herself twice. She couldn't possibly let herself down.

"Alright, let's start as apprentices. The first step is to identify the ingredients, the second is to taste them, the third is to become familiar with the quality of various meats and dishes, and the fourth is to practice knife skills, which is also the most difficult. Only after passing these steps can we begin to learn how to make meals and desserts."

"OK!"

Bai Nuo readily nodded. Since she had made up her mind, she wouldn't be one to dawdle, and then began the preliminary tutorial that lasted for several hours.

The ratio of indoor to outdoor time in culinary training is 100:1, measured in hours. One hour outside equals one hundred hours inside, which is more than four days.

Of course, not every study room has the same time ratio; some are 10:1, and some are even 1:1.

It has to be said that although Bai Nuo is not very smart in some aspects, his brain is really good at remembering things.

She memorized the first three steps of the initial learning after the master chef explained them once. The fourth step, knife skills, was even simpler. She was skilled with a knife in her previous life, and even a zombie king would turn tail and run when he saw a Tang sword.

In this life, although she is not mentally sharp, she is unable to speak and is rather dull-witted, unable to remember many things.

She also didn't really enjoy learning from books with her older brother, but she loved learning to use a broadsword from her grandmother.

The Wei family ancestors were renowned heroes who conquered the world on horseback, and many famous generals were among them. Business was merely a side business for the Wei family.

Although the Bai family has been a scholarly family since ancient times, they have also produced two martial arts champions.

Bai Nuo, who has the blood of both families, was so skilled with a big knife when she was young that even Fang Meng, the little devil of the compound, was afraid of her.

Although the knife in her hand had become a kitchen knife, and she was cutting potatoes, radishes, and cabbages, it did not affect her knife skills at all. As she gradually became more familiar with it, her proficiency and speed also improved.
