Chapter 5: Bitter gourd stuffed with bean paste

Xia Yan watched Chen Zhiyuan brake sharply, and then made a beautiful drifting turn, and rushed to the bar with a smoke, supporting the countertop with both hands, the iconic dead fish eyes, desperately wide open and full of excitement.

"What is he doing here?" Xia Yan's heart was full of question marks.

I don't understand, but first praise the young man's good kung fu.

He couldn't help but think of himself who used to play RPG games and manipulate various sand sculptures of characters, so strong sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu.

Hey?

Soon, Xia Yan found out that something was wrong

The guy with the ID of 'Zhiyuan Star' was actually very interested in his practice homework, and Xia Yan then observed a trace of longing in Chen Zhiyuan's eyes.

"System, he should have found something, right? I'm definitely not the same as his template. When Xia Yan asked this nonsense, he wanted to laugh a little.

In fact, it can be proved from "fashion" that Chen Zhiyuan is a typical novice apprentice cloth, Xia Yan looked at himself, only to find that the set of chef and manager clothes on his body was so familiar, with a collar, navy blue, and a belt tied around his waist, which made him feel ashamed that he was playing the uncle boss of the late-night canteen.

Perhaps, in the eyes of players like 'Reach', I'm just an NPC?

Xia Yan suddenly realized that Chen Zhiyuan was very cautious just now, and beckoned to him to say hello.

"Your template is unique."

The system's indifferent answer sounded like a subtle dog-licking illusion to Xia Yan: "Except for you, all guests who visit and log in to the game in this park will use the player template." ”

Well, it's not a player template, it's not an NPC, it can only be explained as the Chosen One.

Communication with the system was stopped, and a call was heard in the ears:

"Boss, boss......"

Chen Zhiyuan saw the very cool young chef standing with his arms crossed, moved his eyelids, and then withdrew his shaking hand: "I don't have any money." ”

Yes, penniless.

Backpack slot, gold is shown as "0".

"And then?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhiyuan hesitated, rubbed his hands, and still asked with a little delusion and boldness: "This...... Is it a combination of bitter gourd and some kind of filling? ”

"Stuffed bitter gourd with bean paste." Xia Yan found that Chen Zhiyuan was staring at the plate with an enthusiastic face, and he didn't look away from the strange dishes at all, he was a little speechless, and secretly questioned the system again: "Taste this, will he get any benefits?" ”

If you put yourself in the player's position, Xia Yan tried to imagine it, there are benefits, not to mention dark cuisine, stealing chickens and touching dogs, a series of things that violate the morality of the three good students, it is not impossible to do it, you can't overestimate the player's discipline at all, this group is simply a typical representative of the chaotic camp, and there will always be only interests.

"Tick, items to taste."

"There are four major evaluations of the tasting: qualified, good, excellent and perfect, and the experience points obtained fluctuate with the evaluation, with a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 2000, triggering the 'excellent' and 'perfect' evaluations, and the player will receive additional item rewards."

Xia Yan flipped through the panel of his "Character Level LV1 (0/500)": "Ahem, that, the system, in fact, I also want to taste it." ”

"You can't taste items that you make yourself."

"......" Xia Yan wanted to cry without tears.

Chen Zhiyuan saw that the young chef was out of the realm again, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Can I try your craft?" ”

Xia Yan nodded.

"You can eat it."

"It's also possible to ...... without paying"

Chen Zhiyuan was pleasantly surprised, what kind of fairy chef was this, he felt that he had hit a big luck, although he had just created a character, he smelled a hint of being ahead of others.

"But you have to eat clean, and, when you're done, help me clean the house." Xia Yan he, he steals fun, but he can't be taken advantage of in vain.

His mind also turned a corner, since it is a visible "benefit", then he firmly grasps this benefit in his hands, isn't it equivalent to taking a piece of alliance leader token, and ordering the player This group of interest creatures not to be too easy.

One meal, change the hourly worker to clean, no loss at all.

Ah, eat clean and clean?

Chen Zhiyuan hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, this taste smells delicious, although it is also very spicy, but I am a man who has challenged the Grim Reaper Pepper, and I promise to eat it cleanly-"

When he said this, Chen Zhiyuan didn't notice the young chef in the bar, and his eyes when he looked at him were full of tragedy and grandeur.

It's an elusive exercise for this chef, and it's terrifying for the first time.

Strong, go well.

"This game, let's take it as a virtual reality game, the player's sensory experience, the color and aroma of the dishes, is it the ultimate restoration?"

Chen Zhiyuan clamped his chopsticks and put a small piece of stuffed bitter gourd into his mouth.

Gross, what the hell!

"What a bitter gourd smellβ€”"

The face that was originally written with anticipation was wrinkled tightly because of the sudden impact, and Chen Zhiyuan was so remorseful that he couldn't wait to slap himself.

Why did Shuangjiao set up a death flag again!

"You have to understand that you are a non-chief, and if you hit a good luck and trigger an adventure, you won't be able to take your turn when you die!"

Chen Zhiyuan doesn't hate eating bitter gourd, on the contrary, he also likes the home-cooked dish of 'bitter gourd beef' very much, but eating cooked bitter gourd is one thing, and drinking jerky bitter gourd juice is another.

Now the bitter gourd in his mouth makes Chen Zhiyuan think that he is tasting a cup of "original" bitter gourd juice.

Bitter! Jerky!

As soon as you bite into it, you will be greeted by the strange smell of the filling.

It was like swallowing a mouthful of mustard, choking on the irritating taste in his nasal cavity, and he didn't know if it was because of the spicy or other mysterious tastes, Chen Zhiyuan's eyes shed tears of youthful patterns.

"It's unpalatable, it's unpalatable!!"

Bad reviews can't help but spit out.

"What kind of weird smell is this-" Chen Zhiyuan was confused, "Let's not talk about diced meat and bean paste, this kind of soft, sticky taste is steamed glutinous rice, yes, but the general glutinous rice ball, the stickiness in the taste, is not strong enough to make people feel disgusting and want to vomit......"

Reluctantly ate a few pieces, and seeing that there was still most of the plate left, Chen Zhiyuan's face was covered with cold sweat: "I...... Is it okay not to eat it? ”

Xia Yanku stood there and didn't answer, and the system prompt had popped up in Chen Zhiyuan:

[The tasting is interrupted, this trigger task is about to fail, and you will have the following losses......]

Chen Zhiyuan immediately fell silent and continued to eat.

"Hmm!"

Continue to chew on the next piece.

As I ate, I quickly got used to the irritating smell that rushed to my nose, and my tangled face gradually became expressionless.

The crisp collision of the "bells".

It's the sound of chopsticks touching an empty plate.

Finished eating?

Am I really going to eat clean? Sky! Oh, God!

Why can I indulge in a 'dark dish'?

Chen Zhiyuan came back to his senses in a trance, and in just a few minutes, the difficult swallowing time that was originally expected to be entangled for a quarter of an hour or even half an hour was greatly shortened!

Smacked his mouth.

The depression was replaced by a surprise of discovery.

Between the lips and teeth, there is a faint sweetness left by the filling.

"This sweetness is so familiar."

Chen Zhiyuan groaned slightly, and suddenly there was lightning in his head: "Yes, it must be 'natto'!" ”

[Scoring at the beginning of this tasting: 30......]

[Note that the score is on a 100-point scale, out of a maximum of 100.] 】

Is this an ingredient that you got right and got 30 points in an instant? Chen Zhiyuan was excited, and answered the glutinous rice, meat foam, soy sauce, chives and other seasoning ingredients in one go, but the score only slowly rose to 40, and there was still a long way to go.

I didn't realize that it was very unreasonable for 'natto' to appear in this paradise game set in "Chugoku Ichiban".

Chen Zhiyuan scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and after several attempts, he found that answering the ingredients item could no longer further improve the tasting score, gritted his teeth, and turned the direction to cooking techniques:

"There is a problem with the use of glutinous rice for the filling, and it should be soaked in advance."

Bite.

Seeing that the score finally rose, Chen Zhiyuan was teary-eyed, and decided to catch this crazy wool: "Glutinous rice can be pickled, oiled, and salted." ”

Bite.

"Before kneading the mixed filling, the glutinous rice can be fried until it is five ripe and translucent."

Bite.

The score officially broke through the 60 mark, followed by the word "qualified", but then Chen Zhiyuan added a few tasting words about the use of glutinous rice, but the score returned to dead silence, making him sigh, this sheep was still bare by himself.

[At the end of this tasting, the final score is 65 (passing).] 】

[Gain 500 XP.] 】

Character level is automatically increased from LV1 to LV2.

A talent tree-like panel unfolds in Chen Zhiyuan's field of vision.

'Tongue' (do you want to have the taste of God) -

'Nose' (the most astute perfumer can discern any recipe in the world) -

'Eyes' (mortal eyes may be deceived by illusions, but nothing can fool the pupils) -

'Ears' (Listen, Blazing Cooking Oil, You Are the Kitchen and the Field) –

"You have 1 idle skill point that can be used on the [Food Appreciation] talent panel to strengthen your character's senses."
