Chapter 400 Difficult Innovation

Looking at the flowers blooming in front of him, Chu Yunfeng showed a smile. After spending so much time and energy, he finally made this traditional famous dish.

But Chu Yunfeng didn't relax yet, and he designed another production method. According to his understanding of cooking, this method should be feasible.

If it succeeds, then there will be a new way to cook boiled cabbage, and it will also give people a more shocking feeling.

This feeling is much deeper than the feeling of pouring high-grade clear soup directly from the top.

Especially after being promoted to senior chef, Chu Yunfeng's understanding of dishes became much deeper, and he understood a truth.

Dishes do not necessarily have to stick to something very traditional, the most important thing is to be innovative.

But this does not mean that traditional things are not good, but that they need to be innovated according to the needs of the times. Only things that adapt to the public can continue to survive in the advancement of the times.

Otherwise, they will be eliminated and slowly submerged in the tide of history.

Chu Yunfeng took out the small cup specially designed by JDZ and looked at it. At first glance, the small cup looked about the same size as the ordinary one, but its appearance and the contents inside were completely different.

Especially when the lid is opened, you can see a long, sharp pillar standing in the middle, the height of which is about 3/4 of the entire small cup.

The lid of the small cup is also different. The design is somewhat similar to that of a pressure cooker. That is, there is a layer of rubber sealing ring around the lid, which can seal the small cup well.

There is a small spout on the lid similar to that on a pressure cooker, and a small pressure relief valve on it.

From this point of view, the small cup in Chu Yunfeng's hand was completely designed according to the principle of a pressure cooker, but I don't know what the purpose of this design is.

"System, does my own innovation test also consume learning time?" Chu Yunfeng asked clearly before starting the test. Although the system seems to be less troublesome recently, it is probably related to his improvement in level.

"Yes, any learning, improvement, and innovation within the system space will take learning time." The system voice replied slowly.

"If we innovate on the basis of the original dish, will there be an error message?" Chu Yunfeng is also curious about this question. Since it is to innovate, then whether it can be successful, or to what extent the innovation is, can the system know in advance? Woolen cloth?
This involves two very important issues.

First, is the system a prophet? If so, then the system will know how innovative Chu Yunfeng wants to be in the dishes, and it will prompt any errors that occur in the process.

Second, since it is innovation, there is a possibility of failure, and I did not receive any prompts from the system when customizing, so this returns to the first problem.

If the system does not provide any prompts for innovation, including error prompts during the innovation process, then it means that the system is completely ignorant of this.

This further shows that the system is "old-fashioned" and has no enterprising spirit at all. In this case, Chu Yunfeng will be very disappointed.

"There is no prompt. The entire process of innovation is completely up to the host. However, after the dish innovation is successful, it will be judged by this system and rewarded according to the score level of the judge."

After the system said the first sentence, Chu Yunfeng's eyes showed deep disappointment, but the next sentence immediately ignited the fire of Chu Yunfeng's expectations, and his whole body was instantly filled with excitement of eagerness to try.

It seems that I was wrong. Although the system did not reveal the ability to "predict the unknown", there is a scoring and reward mechanism here, which fully illustrates the system's encouragement of innovation.

Although he didn't know the reward corresponding to this rating level, Chu Yunfeng had a vague feeling that the reward would not be low. If the rating was high, there might be a super grand prize waiting for him.

In fact, the biggest purpose of Chu Yunfeng's inquiry into the system at the beginning was to test whether the system really had the function of "predicting the unknown". This was of vital significance to Chu Yunfeng's guess on something.

Since it didn't work out this time, let's wait for future opportunities. It's important to do your own innovative experiments.

The reason why such a style of small cup is designed is to better present the "flowering" effect of cabbage, so the key to the first step is still on the cabbage.

The cabbage needs to be cut, but there are some differences between this cut and the previous method.

The space around the plate is relatively large, so the branches and leaves of the cabbage heart can be made slightly larger, but the small cup is different.

The space in the small cup is relatively small, and it is surrounded by inner walls. If you want to show the "flowering" effect well, you must work hard on the cabbage heart.

The specific effect of changing the knife will only be known after the experiment.

Chu Yunfeng first compared the proportions of the cabbage heart and the small cup, and then began to carve it with a carving knife. He had previous experience, and his hand movements were very fast.

In order to save time, Chu Yunfeng cut 10 cabbage hearts at once, blanched them slightly, and inserted them directly into the sharp thorn in the small cup from the middle.

It can be seen from here that the spikes serve to fix the cabbage. Then Chu Yunfeng added high-grade clear soup, and then placed all 10 small cups on the stove for heating.

The most difficult thing about this step is time control.

You must know that this is a high-pressure state. With continuous heating, the environment in the small cup is no different from that of a pressure cooker.

The longer the heating time, the greater the pressure inside, and the faster the ingredients inside mature.

This is cabbage. I guess no one has ever used a pressure cooker to press cabbage, right?

And this is the tenderest cabbage heart. If the time is too long, the cabbage heart will probably become soft and rotten.

It is absolutely impossible to achieve the "flowering" effect.

And another point is that this is porcelain. It does not have a strong "coat" like a pressure cooker. If the pressure inside is too high, it will explode.

Although there is a pressure relief valve, the probability of explosion is very low. JDZ has also tested it. As long as the heat is not too high and the time does not exceed 30 minutes, there is basically no problem.

And the heating time does not need to be so long. Chu Yunfeng estimated that 3 minutes at most is the limit.

In the first batch of experiments, Chu Yunfeng turned off a fire every 2 seconds starting from 6 minutes. By 3 minutes, all the fires were extinguished.

After all the pressure in the cup was released, Chu Yunfeng opened it one by one and watched.

After checking it out, Chu Yunfeng shook his head. Looking at some soft and rotten cabbage inside, and an ugly shape of blooming, he realized that this innovation is not that easy.

However, Chu Yunfeng was not discouraged and continued the experiment.

Chu Yunfeng had no idea that the effect of changing the cabbage sum to a slightly larger or smaller size, coupled with the difference in heating time, would be completely different.

Fail, keep experimenting, fail again, keep experimenting.

It took 10 days, 6 hours and 20 minutes to finally come up with a perfect solution.

Become!
