Being a true Chef and preparing a Feast is not as easy as it usually seems. Lin Ke has fewer basic tasks to handle, but his mental strain is much greater.
A mature kitchen team should have Lin pinpointing the central idea, with the Sous Chef sharing the cooking responsibilities to manage the enormous workload.
However, since this is a temporary team, Lin cannot delegate the cooking duties to others; simply put, he does not trust their culinary skills.
Even chefs of the same rank as Lin can have differing interpretations of dishes and varying habits, which could lead to disastrous results.
The Whole Deer Feast emphasizes a harmonious blend of flavors, and what Lin ultimately wants to convey to the diners is his understanding of the Silverhorn Antelope.
Thus, after much discussion with the Gentlemen chefs, the kitchen tasks were thoroughly established.
Lin personally handled the breakdown of the major cuts of Silverhorn Antelope. In the early stages, he played the role of a butcher; a good chef must also be a good butcher, fully aware of every step in ingredient preparation.
All the dish ingredients were personally prepared by Lin, including sauces for marinated dishes, broth for stews, drizzles for meat plates, and dressings for cold dishes.
Ultimately, he needed to oversee all sixteen dishes himself; he held all critical processes in his hands.
In the end, he had to personally manage the cooking procedures for all dishes. The other chefs could only showcase their knife skills—those with better skills would meticulously handle ingredients, while those slightly less skilled would focus on garnishing.
This was somewhat unfair to these chefs; each one of them was renowned in their locality and had the potential to be great Chefs. Yet here they were reduced to mere garnishing masters, which was quite disheartening.
Fortunately, these chefs were all friends of Qing Uncle in the culinary world and followed Lin's instructions. Although some grumbled internally, they publicly expressed no complaints and thought it best to focus on their own tasks.
Poverty Old Man and Qing Uncle were responsible for plating and noodle dishes. Poverty Old Man was definitely capable of handling the noodle section without issue. Qing Uncle had been frequenting high-end restaurants at Solar Ranger Academy in recent years, so his plating would certainly meet high standards.
The most surprising decision was that Lin assigned Qin Wei certain tasks. He trusted Qin Wei even more than those chefs and had her assist with ingredient preparation.
This was also due to their previous collaboration during a barbecue; Lin knew that although Qin Wei lacked extensive cooking experience, she was clever and understood his intentions regarding ingredient preparation perfectly—she was indeed the most suitable choice for this task.
After assigning roles, everyone initially had nothing to do and waited for Lin to process the deer. Thus, they gathered around to see what this somewhat arrogant new Fifth Level chef could accomplish.
With a wave of his hand, Lin took the Refrigerator out of his backpack System.
The air-conditioned Refrigerator suddenly appeared in the center of the kitchen, causing the onlookers to pause for a moment, then erupt in astonishment, realizing that Lin's background was not simple; he actually had spatial equipment.
The Poverty Old Man was slightly taken aback, secretly lamenting Lin's rapid growth. He never expected that Lin already possessed spatial-type equipment, and it looked quite large and high-end.
But that wasn't the main point. The key was that when Lin pressed the button on the Refrigerator, the glass doors slid open, revealing a lively Silverhorn Antelope, which amazed everyone once again.
"Is that a Silverhorn Antelope? This is hard to come by!"
"What a skill! That deer looks like it's in deep sleep; I bet the price of that preservation cabinet is not cheap."
The chefs were all intrigued. Some approached to touch the deer's body and found that aside from its fur being a bit cool, everything else felt just as it did when alive—its body soft and not stiff at all.
The Live Streaming chat exploded with excitement at the reappearance of the deer. Viewers continuously sent gifts, and the barrage of comments rolled in frantically.
However, Lin remained unfazed by the external commotion. He called for everyone to step back, and in one swift motion, Willow Whisper and Shadow Stitch appeared in his hands.
There should have been room for Surging Waves as well, but unfortunately, the Spirit Blade Set was missing, forcing him to settle for second best. Fortunately, Lin's knife skills were superb; he could manage with Willow Whisper.
Taking a deep breath, Lin paused for half a minute as he quickly rehearsed his moves in his mind using Ink Projection.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin's expression was focused, his gaze calm and tranquil like an ancient well.
"Blood Basin!"
Lin shouted angrily, and immediately a chef handed him a porcelain basin filled with blood.
A flash of silver light appeared as Lin utilized his Left-Handed Blade to its fullest extent, simultaneously pressing his hand against the deer's forehead and using his Inner Qi to stimulate the flow of blood.
Suddenly, the deer opened its closed eyes, and its lifeless gaze gradually filled with a crimson hue, turning blood-red.
This was due to Lin's Inner Qi activating the blood energy within the deer, causing its vital energy to flow rapidly. This not only allowed for quick bloodletting but also improved the flavor of the Venison.
A cut was made at the deer's throat, and the slightly sweet-smelling blood flowed out like a burst dam.
"Make sure to prepare this well; the Deer Blood Elixir needs to be consumed immediately to capture the essence of the Deer Blood."
Lin instructed someone to take away the Deer Blood. Those nearby were somewhat impressed; extracting blood without emptying it first and relying solely on Inner Strength to drive the blood out was no small feat. This method required not only assistance from Inner Strength but also a deep understanding of the deer's anatomy.
The deer's blood vessels were complex, and without an intimate knowledge of its body, this seemingly impressive technique could ruin the Venison.
If any residual blood coagulated in the Venison, it would render the deer useless, significantly lowering the quality of the meat.
Lin's confidence in performing this procedure was evident to onlookers; he had likely practiced this bloodletting technique hundreds or thousands of times.
Ordinary people could not comprehend that Lin possessed a remarkable gift known as Ink Projection.
Just by performing this bloodletting alone, he had already gained the respect of most. Next, Lin showcased his knife skills like magic, leaving even seasoned chefs astonished.
"Rise!"
Lin's hand remained on the deer's forehead. Under his control of Inner Strength, the deer seemed to come back to life and actually stood up!
As he gently released his palm, a golden light flashed in Lin's eyes as he activated Divine Sight!
His speed was astonishing; a cold glimmer flashed before him as he moved swiftly. The Willow Whisper in his hand vanished from sight as it danced around within the deer's body.
The Shadow Stitch in his left hand occasionally exchanged places with the Willow Whisper, and only at that moment could the true forms of the two blades be seen.
After circling the deer for a round, Lin used the Extreme Left-Handed Blade three times. The intense consumption of energy from these moves left his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.
"Ha!"
Taking a deep breath, Lin shouted, "Get containers! Everyone, find the right container for your assigned ingredients!"
His shout left everyone stunned. The deer looked no different from before, and they did not understand what Lin had been doing during his maneuvering.
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Lin Qing smiled and reached out to gently flick the deer's nose.
"Thud!"
The deerskin surprisingly split into several parts, detaching from the deer's body and falling to the ground, revealing its muscular form.
"Wow!" "No way!" "What is this!"
Suddenly, exclamations filled the air. The gazes of everyone present shifted towards Lin, filled with shock and deep respect!
This was no different from a butcher skillfully carving up an ox!
