Chapter 7 Hahahahaha
"Successfully staying in the country and being praised by two people."
When Ash saw this task, she felt that the food system was quite smart, and she could assign tasks according to her situation, and she didn't forget to add praise for her cooking skills.
She returned to the task selection screen, and staying in the country was what she was supposed to do, so she directly clicked the "Accept" button.
The system immediately prompts: "Do you confirm that you accept the task, if you fail, you will die directly because the host level is too low." β
Through the initial task, Ash already knew where the bug of the broken system was, and the rejection must have no good results, so she didn't quit to check the rejection, and chose to finalize.
"Ding - The new task is triggered successfully, and the remaining time is 168h59m59s......"
Ash mentally converted the time, a week, and it seemed that the completion time was also proportional to the difficulty of the task.
It was already ten days before the start of school, and if she couldn't finish it within a week, there was basically no chance.
Thinking of the bug of this system, she took a closer look at the top to see if there were any other requirements, and like last time, there was a "? icon.
Ash clicked on it, and the white text on the blue background prompted:
"This time we need to be praised by two people with the surname Fang."
Sure enough, this time there is also a limit.
Ash finished studying the system, and immediately went to unlock the door to the piano room before sitting down in front of the piano and placing his ten fingers on the keys.
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony reverberated through the room, and for the first time, Ash felt that the Symphony of Destiny was so melodious, that every note perfectly blended his mood at the moment.
Joy, emotion, suddenness, and a hint of melancholy, after being reborn, her heart is actually not too steady, because all this is too much like a dream.
Butβshe has figured it out now, what if it's a dream, since she's here, then live hard. It doesn't matter if it's real or illusory, since you're here, just accept it and enjoy it.

It's just an ordinary rock sugar pear, although the three friends praised it, but Lian Yuyan didn't suspect Ash. At most, I feel that the chef at home has a heart, and I brought out the right snacks in the right weather, and said to the finance that this month's salary increase is over.
The chef was happy to have money, so he didn't expose Ash, but he muttered in his heart that Miss Ai's family was strange, the eldest lady of other families was eating, drinking and having fun, but she always liked to go into the kitchen full of fumes.
At the end of this episode, Ash naturally behaved at night and didn't dare to run into the kitchen again, she decided to probe her grandfather's tone first at night.
Who knows, after dinner, before she could speak, Ai Zhongkun took a step ahead of her and asked her to go to the study to chat.
Lian Yuyan's eyes narrowed slightly, but the old man opened his mouth to let his granddaughter go to the study to chat, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to watch them go upstairs.
Just eaten, not suitable for drinking tea, the two just sat opposite each other, Ai Zhongkun decided to ask one by one.
"Hee-hee, did you really make the tomato scrambled eggs that day?" He asked first.
Ash nodded, "Yes." I know one thing from the grapevine, it seems that grandpa you made a tomato rice bowl for Fang Wenzhao when you were young, and you had a relationship, so it is better for someone from the Ai family to make it yourself. β
She thought about it at the time, so she thought about it in advance, after all, she behaved too abnormally yesterday, and most people wouldn't make tomato scrambled eggs so sour.
"Hmm." Ai Zhongkun paused, and then patted the position next to him, "Xixi, sit down a little." β
Ash complied.
After two more gossip, Ai Zhongkun finally said his true purpose, "Xixi, you did a good job in the morning meeting, and you did it all yourself?" β
Ash: "No, I hung the soup and rolled the skin." But the noodles were kneaded by the chef at home, and I didn't have enough strength. β
Ai Zhongkun: "Xixi, do you still want to learn the French cuisine of Naraushzi?" I saw that your Chinese food was also very good, and there was the rock sugar pear in the afternoon, I watched you take the pear into the kitchen. β
Ash: "...... Recently, I watched a tutorial on rock sugar Sydney, and I couldn't help but try it. β
Ai Zhongkun smiled and asked, "Then do you still want to learn French cuisine?" In fact, Xixi, you can go abroad to study French food for two years, and some of the methods and plating of French food are quite good. But ah, you have always been a Chinese, and it is only ...... to return to China in the future to continue to study Chinese cuisine."
"Grandpa," Ash interrupted the old man without waiting for him to finish, "I don't want to go abroad." β
"What?" Ai Zhongkun obviously didn't react a little, "Don't want to go abroad? β
Ash: "Well, I agree with your point of view, I haven't even studied Sichuan cuisine thoroughly in the eight major Chinese cuisines. Now it's really too hasty to go abroad to learn French cuisine, Chinese cuisine is still very attractive, and dishes like rock sugar pears can be passed down for so many years, which is very powerful. So, I want to stay in my country and go to university while learning how to cook various dishes. You're right, Chinese cuisine is king! β
Ai Zhongkun originally just wanted to remind his granddaughter not to forget her roots, and she couldn't waste the skills she had learned in the past few years when she went abroad to study, but she never expected that the other party would directly throw such a big depth bomb on herself.
"Have you discussed this matter with your parents, and what is their attitude?" He asked uncomfortably.
Ash didn't hide it either, and explained honestly, "Dad hasn't said it yet, Mom has already talked about it, and she said that as long as I can apply to a university in China by myself, she will agree to it." β
Ai Zhongkun groaned, although his son Ai Shiheng is in charge of the family's business, he will listen to his daughter-in-law Lian Yuyan for many things, and the daughter-in-law is relieved, basically there is no problem on the son's side.
"So what do you think of?" He asked.
Ash shook his head, "No, I only talked to my mother in the morning when I went to the study, and I plan to discuss it with your grandfather in the evening." Grandpa, do you have any great ideas? β
The grandfather and grandson were relatively silent and did not communicate for a long time.
After a while, Ai Zhongkun said: "Grandpa doesn't want you to go abroad to study and learn any French food, Ai's Sichuan cuisine skills can't be broken, you are willing to learn." Hee-hee, go out, I'll figure it out for you. β
"Thank you, grandpa!" Ash knew that the old man would agree, so he immediately made him a pot of tea, and went out in a happy mood.
In fact, through the grandfather's side, it is nothing more than a road, that is, please the Fang family, the Ai family has not been rich for a long time, and the foundation is unstable. Domestic universities are not like foreign countries, and you can go directly with a letter of recommendation, although she took the college entrance examination this year, but she did not fill in the volunteer, which is still not easy to do.
I'm afraid the Ai family can't cram themselves into a good university now, but the Fang family is different.
The Fang family was originally a famous family, but it was at a low point in the middle for a while, and now the Fang family, which is soaring again, definitely has the strength to let themselves go to a good school in China instead of re-taking the college entrance examination!
*
Ash guessed correctly, and early the next morning, Ai Zhongkun told her that Fang Wenzhao was coming to Ai's house as a guest.
She was amazed by her grandfather's efficiency and hurriedly asked, "When?" β
Ai Zhongkun: "The night after tomorrow, there is still the old man of the Lu family, there are not many opportunities, take advantage of it." β
"Yes!" Ash pondered for a moment and asked, "Grandpa, it seems that Grandpa Fang and that Grandpa Lu used to be comrades-in-arms, right?" β
She didn't expect Fang Wenzhao to call Lu Yizhi too, the Lu family is also one of the super-rich people in Sichuan, if she can have the help of the Lu family at that time, then she will have a greater chance of going to school in China.
Ai Zhongkun didn't know why his granddaughter asked this, but he still replied: "I heard that they had been soldiers in Yunnan together before, but the specific grandfather is not clear, what are you asking for?" β
Ash blinked and smiled: "Well, the mountain people have their own tricks, so they can't let others help for no reason!" β
"You girl, don't think of any crooked tricks, we will definitely have to pay it back in the future, just be sincere. If you really can't do it, you can read it again for another year, anyway, I have you to support you, what are you afraid of! Ai Zhongkun saw his granddaughter smiling slyly and couldn't help but warn.
"Don't worry, grandpa, I just want to be sincere, what kind of crooked tricks can I go. If you don't mess up, you can rest assured that you can study chess for two days, so as not to lose too badly! With that, Ash smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.
Since grandpa can invite people to the door, then she must not waste this opportunity, eighteen-year-old her, nothing else, only an open food system.
So apart from coming up with a few ingenious dishes, she couldn't think of any crooked tricks.
The reason why I wanted to confirm with my grandfather whether Fang Wenzhao and Lu Yizhi were comrades-in-arms and where they became soldiers was because Ash believed that in order for the taste of food to move people's hearts, it must cause emotional resonance.
So she wants to understand the past of the two old men, and then she can be truly ingenious.
The south of Caiyun has become a popular tourist attraction over the years, and many things there are full of characteristics.
Cross-bridge rice noodles, fried bait blocks, roasted milk fan, stone forest bean curd, Jinhua ham...... It's all about local food, and of course, it's probably the mushrooms that are best known there.
Generally speaking, eating mushrooms is more comprehensive when eating soup pots, but now that it is August, it is obviously not suitable to eat soup pots.
Ash had to take the trouble to pick out a few dishes from these characteristics, a few dishes that fit the soldier's eggs.
In the end, she decided on four dishes: cold fungus, charcoal-grilled matsutake mushrooms, king oyster mushroom and pepper cup, and Jinhua ham.
Originally, she wanted to add a cross-bridge rice noodle, but she thought about it, this rice noodle is exquisite, and she has to do it slowly. The troops don't necessarily respect this food, and they don't have that much energy to make so many dishes.
Fungus, oyster mushrooms, and bell peppers are all easy to buy, but authentic matsutake mushrooms and Jinhua ham are not easy to buy. Matsutake mushrooms have been regarded as the nobility of wild mushrooms over the years, and their quality and yield are affected by the amount of rainfall, so the quality depends on the sky, and there is still a way to buy good matsutake mushrooms, and it is best to fly them from Shangri-La.
Jinhua ham is divided into five parts, and the meat quality of each part is different, so you must be very particular when choosing. Ash pondered that he could pick two parts, one more delicate and the other rough.
Ash clicked out the system and found that he couldn't communicate with meat, while the rest of the vegetarian dishes already had the permission to communicate, and made the final decision in his heart.
Jinhua ham can only be told to the chef at home to find a way to buy high-quality, since he is not sure which part to buy, simply buy a whole. As for the rest of the mushrooms and bell peppers, she plans to go to the market to see them herself.
I just don't know if I will be broken by the exchange of various ingredients......
*
On the day of the dinner, early in the morning, Ash went to the market with the family's maid to buy ingredients.
This is the largest market in Sichuan City, with a rich variety of ingredients, such as meat and poultry, aquatic products, vegetables, and cereals.
Although it was very early, the market was already quite lively, and the purchasing specialists from major restaurants, restaurants and even supermarkets basically came here to purchase.
Ash took her purchase slip and split up with the mercenary soldiers, they bought the rest of the ingredients, and she went to buy the ingredients for her four dishes.
After all, she wants to try to communicate with these ingredients, so she can't follow people around her, and as for other people who are purchasing, you come and go, and no one should notice her.
As soon as she walked to a stall, before Ash could talk to the boss, there were already a lot of strange sounds coming into her ears:
"Hey, everyone, look, there's a little girl here."
"I said orange, can you be serious, the little girl who knows the water and the spirit all the time, that is, these humans can't hear you, otherwise you would have been pressed into the juicer a long time ago!"
"233333 Sister Apple, don't get excited, I see that this little sister is also very beautiful, we rarely see such a girl here."
"Lemon girl, don't mess around. Let's make a bet and guess whether she's going to buy the fruit or the vegetables next to her, and whoever loses will take the initiative to roll to the most conspicuous place. β
β¦β¦
Ash raised his eyebrows when he listened to the words of this stall of fruits, sure enough, the ingredients in these markets are different, and their personalities are not so soft and cute, and they are very down-to-earth.
She had no intention of buying fruit, and she didn't bother to talk to them, so she walked straight to the stall selling vegetables.
The bell peppers at this place look pretty good.
"The fruit next door, you lose, get out!"
"Get out!"
"Roll over, Fruit Egg!"
β¦β¦
As soon as Ash stopped in front of the stall, there was another commotion, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. When I looked back, I really had some lemons and oranges rolled a few times.
Dumbfounded, she bent down and picked up a red bell pepper and put it to her nose to smell the fruit.
"Damn, how many people have I been brought to my nose today??? [Indifferent face"
When the bell pepper was about five centimeters away from her nose, she heard some shrill male complaints, and there was no doubt that the red pepper in her hand was speaking.
With a plug in his heart, Ashden didn't want to smell the melon and fruit again.
"I'm sorry, I'll help you put some inside, so that the other peppers can be taken out and smelled." She apologized softly and put the red pepper in a very deep position.
Without waiting for this bell pepper to be shocked, she bent down and asked: "Pepper babies, none of you have been sniffed, and the size is uniform, the color is uniform, and the pepper fragrance is overflowing, take the initiative to report the coordinates." β
Peppers one after another: (ΰΉΒ°αΒ°ΰΉ)!!
"This girl can hear us??? [Frightened Face]"
"Humanity is a ???"
"Sister, what's your name!"
β¦β¦
Another round of fruit and vegetable shock, Ash smiled and explained to them that he could indeed hear, and within five minutes, the whole market was full of news: there was a beautiful little human girl who could hear them.
Then, when Ash passed through some aquatic areas and meat and poultry areas, he was complained about by countless ingredients:
"Yo, hello Ash!"
"Sister Xixi, why don't you buy some fish?"
"Why don't you ignore people, doesn't it mean that you have a good personality?"
"Such a cold woman, I really don't understand how those stupid vegetables can stand it!"
β¦β¦
Of course, Ash, who hadn't yet been granted permission, couldn't hear it, and went straight to the mushroom area to buy the remaining ingredients.
Because she had just unlocked the function of talking to the mushrooms, she saved a lot of money on purchasing, and the shopkeepers were surprised that this little girl was so good at picking, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only sell it to her aggrievedly.
Finally, only the wild mushroom aristocratic matsutake mushroom remained, she picked up a matsutake mushroom, and asked straight to the point: "Little matsutake mushroom, is the rain you have drenched in this batch sufficient?" β
"Hahahahahaha A male voice rang out abruptly.
Ash didn't wait for Matsutake to answer, but the other people actually heard her question, and the voice was still somewhat familiar.
She looked sideways and saw that she was still an "acquaintance?!!
