Yang Xiaotao sat in the courtyard, reading a book leisurely, picking up an apple on the side from time to time, nibbling two bites and continuing to read.

In the past few days, Yang Xiaotao has worked hard to accumulate credits, in order to upgrade his cooking skills to the second level.

This is, of course, to improve the quality of life.

These days, the chef is a craftsman, he eats everywhere, and he can't starve to death if he has something.

Especially in the era of scarcity of ingredients, it is the chef's ability to make simple ingredients into flowers.

Yang Xiaotao doesn't pray to become a chef, a god chef, he doesn't ask for much, as long as he cooks well, eats fragrantly, and eats full.

With cooking skills, the ingredients can be better used and not wasted.

Take the fish caught as an example, in the past, the big fish were not easy to make, and the small fish were not good to do, and in addition to going to the Zhou family and Uncle Chen's house to eat, they could only be put in a pot to cook.

And now, fried cooking, big fish are delicious, and small fish can also be fried and eaten, although it costs oil, but he really does not lack this.

The ingredients that used to be eaten in one meal can now be eaten twice, and the utilization rate has been greatly improved.

In addition, Yang Xiaotao also wants to see what rewards he has every month after being promoted to the second level.

After reading a page, Yang Xiaotao listened to the complaints of the people around him, and got up to move his muscles.

Now a new round of vegetables has just been planted in the garden, and the tomatoes and peppers have been cleared and planted with Chinese cabbage, turnips, and some garlic and green onions.

The main reason is that there are too few vegetables that can be grown in this season, and most people eat cabbage and radishes in winter.

Fortunately, there is Xiaowei to take care of her in the vegetable garden, and the ability of this grass and tree elf is simply unique, turning decay into magic.

The red-orange-orange apples with yellow patches look the size of a baseball, but they taste crisp and sweet.

This red Fuji apple is redeemed from the exchange bar and is not yet grown in China.

Of course, ordinary people don't know this, and when they see apples that are only eaten, no one cares about them.

Five pounds for a credit, eat an apple in this season, and feel good.

There are academic studies that show that eating sweet things can make people feel happy.

Yang Xiaotao is hands-on.

Well, it works well.

After gnawing one, I happened to see Qin Huairu come out of Silly Zhu's house and walk into the courtyard, and the two just glanced at each other and no longer intersected.

Then, Yang Xiaotao heard the voice of Uncle Chen beside him.

"What's wrong, uncle?"

Aunt Chen angrily threw an invitation over, while Uncle Chen lit a cigarette, shook his head and sighed.

"How did this Jia family get mixed up with this?"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, especially the clear price at the back, and the corners of his mouth twitched, he was sure that this idea was definitely Jia Zhang's handiwork.

The Jia family is like this, using the appearance of a dog in front of people, shaking their heads and tails and pretending to be pitiful. I don't need it, I can't say that I can still bite it. ”

Yang Xiaotao said bluntly, and the old couple of the Chen family nodded when they heard it, because what Yang Xiaotao said was right, the Jia family is such a person.

"You don't have to worry about it, the Jia family is simply asking for hardship by doing this, wait and see."

The old couple looked at each other the same, and they wouldn't participate anyway.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao continued to read at night until midnight, when he finished reading the book at hand.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for familiarizing yourself with "Mechanical Principles and Structures" and obtaining 238 credits!"

Rubbing his eyes, the prompt sound of the system sounded in his head, and it also announced that the book was finished.

"I've finally saved enough."

Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes, and his mind was still a pot of mechanical principles and a bunch of gear chains.

Since the last time he got cooking, Yang Xiaotao has put a lot of effort into this book, from the beginning of the cursory reading, but now he is familiar with it, not only has he gained credits, but also memorized the knowledge in these books.

Of course, in order to read this book in the future, Yang Xiaotao will continue to read it, after all, there is intensive reading on top of familiar reading, as well as integration, and the credits obtained at those levels can be doubled.

"System, upgrade your cooking skills to Level 2."

Commands are given in consciousness.

Soon, 100 credits are consumed and the chime appears again.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the cooking skill has been upgraded to level 2. Ten pounds of meat tickets and ten pounds of eggs are rewarded every month. ”

Sure enough, after improving your cooking skills, you will get additional rewards every month.

Now, the second level of fishing has a national food stamp of ten catties per month, and there is also 10 yuan.

In this way, Yang Xiaotao's monthly income is 57 yuan5, a supply of grain, a copy of various tickets issued by the factory, and then the skills bring additional gains.

In addition, there are items that can be exchanged for credits, in short, this is really a lot of money.

To add the "justice" that he gets back from the beasts every once in a while, Yang Xiaotao dares to say that no one in this courtyard is richer than him.

The cooking skills were upgraded, and another experience appeared in his mind, and then Yang Xiaotao fell asleep in the digestion experience.

In the morning, the alarm clock rang on time, Yang Xiaotao got up, cleaned up and prepared breakfast.

Recently, there have been a lot of tasks in the rolling mill, and there have been several temporary overtime hours in order to catch up with the work.

So Yang Xiaotao didn't dare to fool around in the morning, he had to get some hungry.

Yesterday, the cooking rewarded ten catties of eggs, Yang Xiaotao took out twenty and put them in the pot, and found some brown sugar to boil in it.

After a while, the water in the pot gurgled and the aroma wafted out of the pot, bubbling out of the house and filling the entire compound.

Yang Xiaotao took out two more packets of white elephant instant noodles and an old ham, then took out the eggs and washed the bottom of the pot.

After waiting for a while, the instant noodles were served on the table, Yang Xiaotao took out two red eggs, peeled off the skin, revealing the white and tender eggs, smelled it, and the aroma was fragrant.

In the courtyard, Jia Zhang's got up early and sat at the door, smelling the aroma with his nose and scolding.

"Eat every day, eat every day, why don't you eat poor!"

"I get eggs to eat in the morning, and I don't let people eat?"

"Damn little brute, no sympathy, no human touch, deserve to find a daughter-in-law, die."

Yang Xiaotao listened to Jia Zhang's scolding outside the courtyard, and he was not angry, he picked up the plate and came to the door, and ate it deliciously in front of Jia Zhang's.

A chopstick was inserted into the egg, and the orange yolk was revealed in one bite, and Jia Zhang, who was at the door, saw it, and stopped saying anything in his mouth, and his saliva almost flowed out.

Yang Xiaotao picked up another piece of ham sausage, and after biting it open, he revealed strips of meat, and ate it in a big gulp, which made Jia Zhang's even more restless.

Yang Xiaotao ate one bite at a time, not fast, but let Jia Zhang see clearly.

In the house, Qin Huairu, who was cooking, suddenly heard no sound at the door, and walked out to take a look at the situation with some curiosity.

Then I saw Jia Zhang leaning sideways, his mouth was about to reach the yard, and his eyes were staring to the side.

Qin Huairu followed and looked over, and saw Yang Xiaotao eating one bite at a time, with that hearty appearance, only to feel a little more saliva in his throat.

"Look at what, come back and cook."

In the house, Jia Dongxu was hungry when he smelled the eggs, and he was angry when he saw his wife and mother embarrassed at the door.

The two of them reacted, and Yang Xiaotao also returned to the house after eating, so they could only return to the house and continue to cook.

Just looking at the wowotou and corn paste in the pot, neither of them has much appetite.

Outside the door, Yang Xiaotao left three boiled eggs, and took the others out of the door.

Now, he also has a group of brothers in the workshop, and these people follow him, discuss and study together on weekdays, and have a good relationship.

In the courtyard, seeing Yang Xiaotao leaving the courtyard with a bag of brown sugar eggs, the people in the courtyard became sour again.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care, he threw the eggs to Wang Fa when he came to the workshop, and several people were not polite, and this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened.

Everyone knows Yang Xiaotao's family background, and there are really a lot of things.

Of course, Wang Fa still asked him to save a little, find a daughter-in-law in the future, and live a stable life.

Yang Xiaotao listened every time, but still didn't change.

"Brother Wang, there are a lot of tasks today."

Looking at the tasks assigned to him, Yang Xiaotao's work at this time was all the work of a fourth-level fitter, so their group had more tasks than usual.

"Well, the director just sent it down. It's your fault. ”

"Well, I don't want to."

Yang Xiaotao spread his hands, and Wang Fa was also helpless.

Who let Yang Xiaotao do it too well? Now it is a four-level fitter, and the workpiece made has a defective rate of 30%, and Yang Xiaotao's defective rate can be controlled to less than 10%.

Therefore, in order to save the manufacturing workpiece as soon as possible, Yang Xiaotao and his group have more tasks.

"But it's also good, our group must be an advanced group today, the director said, this month we will each give an extra pound of pork, directly from the kitchen."

Wang Fa said excitedly, this is meat, it doesn't cost money, and it doesn't cost money.

"Really? So the other groups must not be acidic? ”

"Haha, isn't it, Lao Ma and a few people went to the director's office several times this morning."

"But it's useless, and it's a waste to give them."

"Like, you didn't see the faces of those guys, tsk!"

Che Wenwei joked on the side, and there was laughter around him.

Now, Yang Xiaotao is the baby in their group, and even the entire third workshop has his right to speak.

Especially for problem solving, the key can often be found in one sentence.

Today, in the case of two less rolling mills, the production capacity of the third workshop is almost the same as that of the first workshop, which has proved the strength of the third workshop.

"Don't be poor, hurry up and finish your work, today is another busy day."

After Wang Fa finished interrupting the gossip that was about to rise, everyone dispersed and prepared to start work.

Just when the workshop was in full swing, Jia Zhang's sat at the door, holding a needle and thread in his hand little by little, as if he was ruthless.

When I think about this morning, my teeth clench.

"This little brute is really rich."

Jia Zhang's family is calculating Yang Xiaotao's family background, and after this calculation, there are almost three or four hundred, which is still the result of her conservative calculation and overcalculation of daily expenses.

"No, how can a big thing like a full moon wine be without him."

On a whim, Jia Zhang immediately got up and ran into the house, and ran out after a while.

Qin Huairu was taking care of the child in the house, and she didn't understand what was going on, but she vaguely saw a touch of red leaking out of her mother-in-law's pocket.
