Chapter 524 - 247: Super-Powered Dual Attribute [Delicious Claypot]!
After helping Jiang Tao complete his membership, Lin Ranran called out to him and turned around to go to the restaurant’s warehouse to get him the unused new claypots.
Jiang Tao hurriedly said, "Beauty, can I go to your kitchen and pick one myself?"
Lin Ranran explained, "Mr. Jiang, the ones in the kitchen have all been used; I’ll get you brand new ones."
Jiang Tao laughed, "Some things get better with use. Can you get me 9 new claypots and let me pick an old one?"
"Of course, of course! Since you’re such a strong supporter of our Qiao Claypot, consider the old one an extra gift from us."
Towards the restaurant’s premium members, Lin Ranran was very patient and sincere.
"Thanks, I’ll choose one that catches my eye."
After saying this, Jiang Tao lifted his leg and walked towards where the claypots were stacked in the kitchen.
Lin Ranran didn’t think much of it and went to the storage room to get the new claypots for Jiang Tao.
The area of this Qiao Claypot shop is only fifty to sixty square meters, not even 100 square meters.
In such a small space, several employees preparing for dinner heard the conversation between Jiang Tao and Lin Ranran clearly.
Seeing Jiang Tao enter the kitchen, they continued with their work, acting indifferent.
"It’s you!"
Among a pile of washed claypots, a claypot emitting a dark golden glow was still very conspicuous.
Jiang Tao saw it as soon as he entered the door.
But to get it discreetly, he still went through the trouble of getting a premium membership at the store.
"Chef, can you help me get this claypot?"
Jiang Tao turned his head to look at an employee preparing meals and asked for his help.
The chef who Jiang Tao asked for help came forward without saying a word and helped him take out the claypot that was under several others.
"Thanks, Chef, here’s a pack of cigarettes for you."
Jiang Tao casually pulled out an unopened pack of Da Tian Ye from his pocket and handed it to the chef who helped him.
"Just a small favor..."
"Take it, thanks."
Jiang Tao stuffed the cigarettes into the chef’s hand without giving him a chance to refuse and walked out of the kitchen with the claypot.
He waited in the store for less than five minutes.
Lin Ranran, who had been hosting Jiang Tao earlier, and the cleaning lady returned to the store, each carrying a shopping bag.
The two shopping bags contained a total of ten brand-new claypots.
Jiang Tao naturally wasn’t interested in these new claypots today; they were just a cover for him to obtain the special claypot.
Lin Ranran and the cleaning lady carried the claypots out of the store and saw Jiang Tao using his car key to open the trunk of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, surprising them once again.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is still quite rare in a small county like Ping County!
"No wonder Mr. Jiang so readily got our store’s premium membership, turns out he’s a big shot with a Benz!"
Upon seeing the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Lin Ranran’s impression of Jiang Tao went up another notch!
Although the flavor of Qiao Claypot is great, it’s only priced around twenty per person.
Lin Ranran doesn’t usually interact with any wealthy people.
It’s rare to see someone like Jiang Tao who drives a Mercedes-Benz G-Class to eat at Qiao Claypot!
Moreover, he’s rich and so young, handsome, and has an exceptional temperament.
Even in the whole of Ping County, such people are extremely rare.
If I could find a boyfriend like that, I can’t imagine how happy I’d be!
"Thank you both, goodbye."
Jiang Tao naturally didn’t know that Lin Ranran was already imagining a life with him.
Smiling, he waved goodbye to the two and drove away towards the West City Hua Fu District.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Tao drove back to the West City Hua Fu District.
He left the 10 brand-new claypots in the trunk, only taking the special claypot upstairs.
He was already very familiar with the process of activating special items.
After returning home, he locked the door and drew the curtains in the living room, and successfully bound and activated it according to the fixed process!
[Item Name]: Delicious Claypot
[Attribute 1]: Delicious +3 (Food made with a Delicious +3 claypot is even more delicious.)
[Attribute 2]: Splitting (It can split into 10 Delicious +3 claypots every day.)
"Delicious +3, Splitting!"
Seeing the powerful attributes of the Delicious Qiao Claypot after activation, Jiang Tao’s eyes widened, and he swallowed excitedly!
The last "Delicious Series" item he got was the [Delicious Pickle Jar].
The quality of the flavorful Eight Treasure Pickles pickled by the[Delicious Pickle Jar]is recognized by all.
This [Delicious Claypot]’s effect surely can’t be much worse!
Jiang Tao suddenly felt that today’s expenditure of 5000 yuan was hugely worthwhile!
Moreover, what’s more rare is that this [Delicious Claypot] has dual attributes.
"10 Delicious +3 claypots can be split a day, that’s 300 claypots in a month."
"This quantity is enough to open a decently sized claypot restaurant!"
Seeing the two attributes of the [Delicious Qiao Claypot], a flood of thoughts also surged in Jiang Tao’s mind.
The Qiao Claypot shop he just went to could run its business so successfully without having an overpowered special item like [Delicious Claypot].
If he opens a shop with the attribute enhancing[Delicious Claypot], he could absolutely dominate in all aspects!
In the culinary industry, the "Delicious +3" attribute is very powerful!
"Let’s test its effect first!"
Jiang Tao’s gaze fell again on the Qiao Claypot in his hand, which had just been activated, and he decided to test its effects first.
As soon as he thought of it, he did it.
Jiang Tao immediately went out, spending over 200 yuan at a nearby farmers’ market to buy a large rooster and asked the boss to help process it.
Afterwards, he also bought some stew ingredients at the market.
Things like angelica root, bay leaves, cardamom, he got them all.
Although he’s never cooked chicken before, there are plenty of tutorial videos online to learn from.
At 5:00 in the afternoon, after a big round of shopping, Jiang Tao returned to the house of his father-in-law.
After Xu Li and the others returned to Beijing, only Jiang Tao was left at home, and it suddenly felt quiet.
Being used to busier times, it took some adjusting to the calmness.
In the kitchen, he processed and thoroughly washed all the ingredients.
Jiang Tao followed the order in the video tutorials, putting the ingredients into the claypot and started stewing!
Meanwhile, on a separate stove, he used a regular cooking pot to stew another batch with the same ingredients as a control group.
Glug, glug, glug~
In less than five minutes, both batches of stewed chicken pieces boiled, and the aroma of the ingredients began to permeate the kitchen.
Ten minutes later, the rich aroma of chicken meat in the kitchen began to waft out through the window cracks.
"Who’s stewing chicken? It smells so good!"
"Wow! This aroma, it must be authentic free-range chicken from the mountain!"
"It’s been so long since I’ve smelled such good meat aroma, it has a childhood vibe to it."
"Grandma, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat~"
"Mom~ I want chicken, can we have chicken for dinner?"
Clatter, clatter, clatter~
The windows up and down Xu Li’s house opened, as neighbors were enchanted by the rich chicken aroma.
"Gulp~"
In the kitchen, Jiang Tao smelled the aroma wafting from the claypot and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
It’s fragrant, too fragrant!
Even he hadn’t smelled such a rich meat aroma in a long time!
Even the Bai Yulan Hotel’s roasted rooster priced at over 600 per serving couldn’t compare to this pot of stewed rooster in front of him!
After simmering on low heat for about an hour, all the ingredients absorbed the flavor, and Jiang Tao turned off the heat.
He used a pair of tongs to lift the claypot off the gas stove and placed it on the dining table lined with a small wooden board.
He poured the chicken pieces from the other pot into a small white porcelain bowl and placed it next to the claypot.
Then he filled a large bowl with rice from the steamer in the kitchen.
Seating himself at the dining table, Jiang Tao began today’s dinner.
He picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
At the first bite, the fragrance spread in his mouth, the meat was tender, and the stewed chicken Jiang Tao just learned to make was incredibly delicious!
Fragrant, truly fragrant!
After finishing the chicken in the claypot, Jiang Tao picked up a piece of chicken from the white porcelain bowl made with the regular cooking pot.
The same chicken, the same ingredients, the same cooking method, the same amount of time.
The chicken stewed in the regular pot was incomparable to the one stewed in the claypot!
[Delicious Claypot]won by a landslide!
