Chen Che was originally eager to create the Daydream Cotton Candy to see what magical effects it had, but he could only restrain himself temporarily.

The materials needed to be collected slowly.

Thinking about it, since it requires such special ingredients, this Daydream Cotton Candy must be quite extraordinary.

However, there's another dish that can be used to learn cooking.

Purification Fish Soup.

[Purification Fish Soup]

Main ingredients (optional): Blue Belly Catfish, Black Armored Piranha, Iron-clad Knife Fish...

Supplementary ingredients (non-replaceable): Fat from a Pig Gang Scum.

Effect: Purifies negative effects.

"This fish soup is very useful for me. Although I have a large sum of money now, if I want to abandon other businesses, I need to stabilize a channel of income.

To support so many people, just sitting around is not going to cut it.

My story has spread, and other casinos probably have blacklisted me. I guess it's not possible to win money at casinos again.

Must learn the fish soup first."

Chen Che gave Bobby another call, asking him to find the ingredients for Purification Fish Soup by any means necessary.

At the same time, he lay back on the bed.

He was a bit too tired and needed another two hours of rest, which equated to 200 hours in the Food God Space.

Enough time for him to learn how to cook the Purification Fish Soup.

The blueprint of an industry built around the Purification Fish Soup for acquiring wealth was already forming in Chen Che's mind.

He could also use the saved money to train his people.

Private army.

He wanted to raise an army.

In this place, only by making oneself strong and becoming a regional lord can one ensure safety.

To put it bluntly, if one day An Nishang gets tired of him and he doesn't have means of self-preservation, he could end up dying miserably.

So he needed to act on both fronts now.

One hand strengthening his own power, the other "training" An Nishang, ensuring she can't leave him.

Both approaches together, only then can he ensure his own survival.

He was a person of strong execution; once he had an idea in his mind, he would immediately put it into action.

Sleep, maintaining physical rest while entering the Food God Space to learn cooking.

Cooking fish soup is arguably the simplest among all dishes.

Kill the fish and remove the scales, make shallow cuts on the surface of the fish, and use the power of the Food God to release the freshness within the fish meat.

Heat the pot and add the irreplaceable fat.

When the oil in the pot starts to smoke and gets very hot, add the fish to the pot, making a sizzling sound.

Many people, when making fish soup, can't wait to flip the fish as soon as it hits the pan, fearing it'll stick or burn.

There's a lot of moisture in fish meat, which makes it hard to burn; long high-temperature frying can set the fish meat's outer layer, making it crispy and non-sticky.

When it's time to flip the fish, gently shake the frying pan; if your temperature control is accurate, once the fish skin is no longer sticking, it'll move in the pan, that's when you flip it, forming the perfect golden-brown layer on the other side.

Another trick for frying fish is, if you really can't control the temperature, sprinkle a little salt in advance in the pan to prevent sticking as much as possible.

Additionally, the oil used for frying must be lard.

That way, the fish soup will turn out creamy white and fragrant.

Fish soup made with vegetable oil will taste fishy and greasy, and it won't be white.

For Chen Che, controlling the heat was the easiest part; the hardest part of this dish was controlling the heat.

With his previous cooking experience, if he couldn't even handle controlling the heat, he'd be unworthy of the name Food God.

Once one side was done frying, with a gentle flick, he flipped the fish over.

Add in sliced ginger to remove the fishiness and enhance flavor.

After both sides of the fish skin were fried to a golden-brown, pour in boiling water into the pan, the whole pot of fish soup began to boil and instantly turned creamy white!

This is the emulsification reaction of lard in hot water. Add cold water, and the fish soup will taste fishy. To make milky white fragrant fish soup, you must use boiling water.

Next comes the most crucial step, using the power of the Food God to fully integrate the freshness released by the lard and fish meat into this pot of soup.

Achieve the perfect reaction!

Learning this cooking process took Chen Che much less time than he had imagined.

It was done in about 100 hours.

Two hours later, Chen Che opened his eyes.

He had completely mastered the cooking of fish soup.

Bobby also arrived at the villa and knocked on the door to enter.

He held the ingredients Chen Che needed.

It wasn't hard to get the ingredients for the fish soup by spending money.

There were also some ingredients for Loyal Meat Bun and Craving-Relieving Pancakes.

Chen Che asked Bobby to wait for a moment and went into the kitchen himself to cook.

Xia Na was attracted by a unique aroma of food and came to the villa.

Seeing Xia Na, Bobby immediately got up from his chair and greeted her nervously.

Xia Na glanced at Bobby, recognizing him as one of Chen Che's men, and nodded indifferently.

Then her throat moved as she was drawn to the unparalleled aroma from the kitchen.

With quick steps, she reached the kitchen door.

She saw Chen Che cooking buns, pancakes, and a fragrant fish soup. Without saying hello, she picked up a bun and stuffed it into her mouth. After taking a bite, she was amazed.

Chen Che noticed and said grumpily, "Hey, hey, hey, are you going to pay for the food?"

Xia Na glanced at Chen Che, extending a fair hand.

"What for?"

With a bun in her mouth, Xia Na mumbled, "Yesterday, you groped me all over. Do you think it was for free? We agreed I'd get half of the winnings! Pay up!"

Chen Che's eyes darted, and he chuckled, "I've already given it."

"When did you give it? Where's my money?"

"The boss took it. I figured, Nana, you need that much money to cover the boss's losses, right? So when the boss asked for it this morning, I just handed it over directly... ahem, we owe each other nothing now."

Xia Na fumed, "That's my credit! You're just taking it?"

"Aren't we all doing this for the boss's well-being? We're family after all. Does it matter if I give or you give? Besides, I mentioned you to the boss, and he was very moved. He praised you greatly and even asked me to help you more, uh... take care of you."

"Really?" Xia Na, still chewing her bun, with her violet eyes blinking blankly, was gullible.

"Of course. Would I lie to you?" Chen Che smiled as he handed her a bowl of fish soup, "Drink the fish soup with the bun, so you don't choke."

Xia Na took a sip of the fragrant fish soup, the rich flavor blooming on her taste buds, every tastebud seemed to be dancing with a beautiful lady in a waltz, colorful and invigorating, making her shiver all over in comfort.

Xia Na's eyes curved into crescents, contently eating the Loyal Meat Bun and drinking the Purification Fish Soup.

Although the special effects of this food were partly useless to Xia Na, it was undeniably delicious.

The girl was satisfied with the food and haughtily said, "Sister really, do I need your care? Ha, if I hadn't deflected the knife for you yesterday, you'd be a pin cushion by now thanks to those flying blades. Damn Ten Directions Blade, if it weren't for sister telling me to ensure your safety, I'd have gone to the prison today to have him neutered!"

Chen Che and Bobby instinctively squeezed their legs together; this girl never just talks.

Chen Che also recalled when Xia Na saved him, feeling a slight warmth in his heart. This girl had a sharp tongue but a strong sense of responsibility.

The food was almost ready, and while trying to lift Xia Na's back clothes to check, as soon as he saw a sliver of white, Xia Na turned around fiercely, "What are you doing?"

Chen Che rolled his eyes, "It's not like I haven't touched it before. I wanted to see how your wounds are healing."

Xia Na thought about it, considering it, and since it made little difference, she consented.

Chen Che checked and was surprised to find the wounds had only left faint marks.

"Sister said scars on women aren't pretty, so she found a way to remove them."

You have to hand it to the boss... An Nishang might be a strong woman, but she still has a woman's love for beauty.

No seam could be seen on the skin except for certain areas.

It was smooth as milk, a touch that truly made one reluctant to let go.

Chen Che suspected he might have contributed a small part, after all, the essence nourishes the blossom's bloom.

Xia Na suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask, "By the way, what did you throw yesterday that caused such a big explosion? And why didn't Ten Directions Blade dare move when you had a handful of chips?"
