Ou Shaotian and the girls quickly arrived at the Academy's Spirit Plant Garden, preparing to look for suitable spirit fields to contract in the Spirit Plant Garden.
"We need to plant seasoned spirit fruits and various vegetables. There are many Lingtian that need to be contracted. Let's look at those Lingtian for rent first!"
Ou Shaotian said as he walked.
"I know a place. There are many Lingtian there that haven't been rented out, but they are all not good enough for others. I don't know if it will work!"
Li Xueting said aloud.
Good Lingtian were generally already owned, only some low-grade Lingtian were still ownerless.
"It doesn't matter as long as it's not too bad. As long as the method is right, Lingtian can be improved. Let's go take a look first!"
Ou Shaotian nodded.
Then the few of them chatted as they walked. Not long after, they arrived in front of a large number of abandoned Lingtian. There were already lush weeds growing on it.
"Look, this is it. It's a little remote, but it's still okay. We can't plant high-grade Lingtian, but low-grade Lingtian shouldn't be a problem."
Li Xueting said aloud.
Ou Shaotian didn't say anything and walked directly into the Lingtian to check the situation of the soil.
Overall, it was not bad.
"This Lingtian is still okay. When you rent it later, try to sign a long-term contract. But just this piece of Lingtian is not enough. You have to continue to look for other places."
After checking, Ou Shaotian said aloud.
To put it bluntly, this Lingtian was a problem with the nutrition in the soil. As long as he used the Spirit Rain Technique a few more times, the quality would slowly improve.
"You can only rent it for a period of time. After the contract expires, the academy will draw lots and mix in with the good Lingtian to rent it out. You can't rent it for a long time."
Li Xueting said aloud.
Because everyone wanted a good Lingtian, the academy adopted the method of drawing lots. Every six months, they would draw lots to determine the ownership.
The date of the next drawing of lots was not far away.
"Since that's the case, let's just make do with it for now. It shouldn't be a problem to plant some vegetables and the like. In addition to the Superior Lingtian in your hands, it should be enough."
Ou Shaotian nodded.
When the hot pot restaurant opened, the consumption of these vegetables would definitely be massive. They would be able to digest more or less. Therefore, these low-grade Lingtian could not be let go.
He had to plant them all!
"Understood, we'll do our best!"
Li Xueting and Mu Guoguo both nodded.
After that, Ou Shaotian gave a few more instructions before leaving. He left the matters of the Spirit Plant Garden to the two of them.
He still had things to do, and that was to teach Ma Daxia and He Daxie how to make hotpot.
He taught them how to use all kinds of seasoning spirit fruits.
When Ou Shaotian and Yun Duo returned to the dormitory, Ma Daxia and He Daxie were already waiting for them.
"Greetings, guild leader!"
Seeing Ou Shaotian's arrival, the two of them greeted him respectfully.
Ou Shaotian was now the guild leader of the Baiyun Restaurant Association.
"Mm, have you prepared the things that I asked you to prepare?"
Ou Shaotian nodded and said aloud.
"Guild leader, it's all ready!"
Ma Daxia said aloud.
"Mm, then let's begin!"
Ou Shaotian nodded and said.
Without further ado, he began to teach the two of them how to make hotpot, starting from the seasoning.
Yun Duo was recording videos at the side.
In the future, these videos would also become teaching videos. He did not need to repeat the lessons. He would only teach once. If he did not know how to do it, he could just watch the videos to learn.
Of course, these videos had to be kept confidential and prohibited from being leaked to outsiders.
Without these videos, even if outsiders wanted to imitate, they would only be able to imitate poorly. They would not be able to compete with the Baiyun Restaurant Association.
This teaching and learning took an entire afternoon.
At night, the others returned to the dormitory and began to taste the hotpot made by Ma Daxia and He Daxie and give their comments.
At the same time, they reported their work progress.
"Delicious, the taste is not bad. Although it's not as good as Shaotian's, it's not far off!"
Zhang Pengpeng said after tasting it.
Hotpot was quite simple to make. As long as one knew how to make the seasoning and soup base, it was more or less done.
"Mm, it's really not bad!"
Yun Duo and the other girls also nodded.
After receiving everyone's affirmation, Ma Daxia and He Daxie were relieved and said in unison, "Thank you, we will definitely work harder."
They, who were originally a little apprehensive, were completely relieved.
"The master can show you the way, but it's up to you to cultivate. In the future, you have to research on your own. You have to constantly innovate and make better food. Only then can you be a qualified chef!"
Ou Shaotian also nodded and said.
His cooking skills were actually very average. It was just that the people here were worse.
In his previous life, he could only be considered an ordinary person who knew how to cook. He was not a chef at all and was not as good as everyone thought.
Therefore, if Ma Daxia and He Daxie wanted to become real chefs, they had to rely on their own efforts.
"Yes, President, we will definitely work hard and study hard!"
Ma Daxia and He Daxie replied in unison.
"Hotpot is only the first step in cooking. It's also the simplest. In addition to hotpot, there are many other delicacies. I will teach you later."
Ou Shaotian said again.
He was very clear that if it was just hotpot, it would be too easy to imitate. Moreover, it would be easy to get sick of it after eating too much.
"Thank you, President!"
The two of them thanked him in unison.
Then, everyone stopped talking and began to eat heartily.
…
In the next few days, everyone was preparing.
It was mainly for team training.
After class every afternoon, everyone came to the restaurant. Li Ruyu and the others followed the video to learn restaurant service etiquette.
Ou Shaotian continued to teach Ma Daxia and He Daxie how to cook.
Not only did he teach them about hotpot, but he also taught them about many home-cooked dishes. Some of the home-cooked dishes in his previous life were extremely delicious in everyone's eyes.
Steamed turbot, spicy boiled fish, stir-fried crayfish, steamed grouper, garlic oyster, garlic radish vermicelli, steamed king crab, steamed abalone, braised green crab, steamed sea bass, and so on!
Compared to the chefs in his previous life, it was naturally incomparable. It was only at the level of an ordinary housewife.
However, Yun Duo and the others were amazed when they ate.
It was too delicious!
"Shao Tien, these dishes are too delicious. It's even better than hotpot!"
Yun Duo exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, yes, it's too delicious. Will our hotpot restaurant sell this too?"
Mu Guoguo was also a foodie. She could not help but drool at the thought of eating these delicacies every day.
The others were not much better.
"We will definitely sell it, but we will only sell hotpot for the time being. These dishes can be introduced step by step. If you want to eat them, let them cook something else!"
Ou Shaotian's plan was very simple. A simple hotpot would be too easy for others to imitate. Therefore, the idea of opening a hotpot restaurant was too simple.
It just so happened that the White Cloud Mutual Association was changed to the Baiyun Restaurant Association.
The hotpot restaurant's name was also changed to Baiyun Restaurant. The range was also wider, and hotpot was only one of the delicacies.
The other delicacies would be introduced one after another to maintain the freshness and make Baiyun Restaurant more popular!
"Awesome!"
Everyone was excited.
Everyone was looking forward to the coming days!
