Chapter 334: Everyone's Expectations!
There were various ingredients for the New Year's Feast, such as pork, beef, lamb, and all kinds of seafood.
For instance, shrimp was also a popular ingredient, with boiled shrimp being a favorite, along with crab.
Additionally, there were vegetables like cauliflower, carrots, and Chinese cabbage, which were common ingredients for the New Year's Feast.
There were also mushrooms, such as shiitake mushrooms, which were indispensable in the south as a side dish for the New Year's Feast.
And of course, there were tangyuan and nian gao, symbolizing reunion and prosperity, respectively.
Zhang Lin glanced at the long list of New Year's Feast ingredients in the market refresh, all of which were common types. However, he was certain that the game-produced items would have special effects.
Special New Year's Pork: Price, 50 yuan per pound!
Special New Year's Lamb: ...
Special New Year's Shrimp: ...
Special New Year's Cauliflower: ...
...
The price of each ingredient was significantly higher than in reality, which indicated that they were extraordinary. Without hesitation, he purchased all the ingredients and rushed to the core area to check their additional information.
[Special New Year's Pork: Quality 1]
[This is a special New Year's Feast ingredient that has received a unique blessing. The meat is exceptionally delicious and possesses special attributes: Flavor +1, Texture +11.]
[Restriction: These ingredients only exhibit their special attributes when used in the New Year's Feast. Under normal circumstances, they are ordinary ingredients.]
After reading about the pork, he immediately picked up a Chinese cabbage to inspect.
[Special New Year's Cabbage: Quality 1]
[This is a special New Year's Feast ingredient that has received a unique blessing. It is no longer an ordinary cabbage and possesses special attributes.]
[Restriction: These ingredients only exhibit their special attributes when used in the New Year's Feast. Under normal circumstances, it is just a regular ingredient!]
Zhang Lin examined all the ingredients.
Most of them had similar additional information, with a quality of 1 and attributes of Flavor +1 and Texture +1.
Although ingredients of this quality were no longer surprising to him, the sheer number of them was astonishing. After all, a list of over a dozen ingredients was enough to prepare a full table of dishes.
The key point was that there were no restrictions, and the prices weren't too high, which meant he could purchase them without limits. This way, the farm's employees could also enjoy this delicious feast.
He believed that the employees would be thrilled and would remember this New Year's Feast fondly.
More importantly, the farm restaurant's kitchen had a special attribute, adding Flavor +1 and Texture +1.
With the combined attributes from both sides, the dishes prepared in the farm restaurant would become even more delicious.
This would result in Flavor +2 and Texture +2.
At that time, the celebrities, county leaders, and the management of the Five-Color Triangle Melon Planting Company and Soybean Farming Company would also be attracted by this delicious feast, and they would linger and enjoy it.
The only restriction was that these ingredients would only have their effects when cooked for the New Year's Feast.
Usually, they had no effect, which was a bit of a pity.
Otherwise, with a large-scale purchase, he could elevate the farm's cuisine to the next level.
However, this wasn't a milestone reward but a randomly refreshed special purchase item, which was still a worthwhile acquisition.
Without hesitation, he used his mind to click on the purchase option, and in one go, he bought a large quantity, enough for the New Year's Feast.
Soon, as these items materialized, the entire warehouse was filled to the brim.
Zhang Lin then called for Liu De and instructed, "Take these items to the restaurant and kitchen for storage. Tell the chefs that these are the ingredients for the New Year's Feast, and we'll use them for cooking later."
"Of course, Boss!" Liu De nodded eagerly.
...
Time passed, and the Liyuan Farm closed for the holidays, ceasing operations.
Finally, the annual gala arrived.
The entire Youcheng Gymnasium was bustling with excitement. The outdoor playground had already welcomed numerous citizens from the city, forming a three-tiered crowd around the venue.
These people's purpose was naturally to catch a glimpse of the celebrities invited to the farm.
In recent days, the news and social media in Youcheng had been flooded with videos of these celebrities. The farm's invited stars had arrived one by one.
However, the road leading to the gymnasium was heavily guarded by traffic police and officers, making it impossible for the crowd to get close.
As each motorhome arrived, the onlookers eagerly took out their phones to capture the moment, knowing that the celebrities had arrived.
But the motorhomes drove directly into the gymnasium, and the stars alighted inside, making it impossible for the crowd to get a clear shot.
At home, Zhang Lin once again dressed up stylishly before heading out to the gymnasium.
As the farm's boss, he could usually stay out of the spotlight, but today, he had to make an appearance before the farm's gala.
So, he took extra care in grooming himself.
Driving his Mercedes-Benz S, he arrived at the gymnasium, where the farm's employees had already gathered. Each of them held their phones at the entrance, scanning a QR code that served as an admission ticket.
Those invited to the gala were given a special identity code, which, when scanned on the QR code, verified their eligibility to enter.
Zhang Lin, of course, didn't need to go through this process and walked right in.
Inside, the atmosphere was already lively. Different departments were arranged in a square formation, each seated in their designated areas.
He headed straight to the backstage area, where the celebrities were gathered, including Hu Ge Qian. Hu Ge Qian was going to sing a song, "July Rain," which had become an internet sensation when the game "Immortal Sword" was released.
"Boss Zhang, you're here?" Hu Ge Qian greeted Zhang Lin with a smile as he entered.
This caught the attention of the other celebrities. Those invited to the farm had all experienced the farm's attractions and were well aware of its allure and strength.
Whether it was the white potatoes or the mountain spring wellness center, they were all astonishing. Even Lei Zong, a big shot, had befriended Zhang Lin and had even posted about it on social media.
So, to them, this young Boss Zhang was a big shot.
"Boss Zhang, I heard you've prepared a special New Year's Feast for us tonight?" asked a beautiful female celebrity with a charming smile, addressing Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin recognized her as Dili Rehe, a female star popular among male fans.
Hearing her question, Zhang Lin smiled and replied, "Yes, I've prepared a special New Year's Feast for you all. It will be even more delicious than the food usually served in the restaurant."
This immediately piqued Dili Rehe's interest. "Really?"
She had already tasted the dishes at the farm's restaurant, which were undoubtedly delectable. She had only experienced such flavors once before, when a big shot took her to a private restaurant that didn't cater to ordinary people.
She was surprised to learn that even ordinary people could enjoy such cuisine at the farm's restaurant.
Now, Boss Zhang was claiming that the food prepared for the gala would be even more delicious than the restaurant's offerings. How could that not be enticing?
The other celebrities were equally amazed, as they had also tasted the restaurant's delicious food. They were suddenly intrigued.
Could the farm create dishes even more mouthwatering than the restaurant's cuisine?
