Chapter 46: One free lottery draw in the system mall

"Are you okay, Xiao Zhao? I'm sorry... We were arguing in the wrong place and scared you."

Geng Mingyan hurriedly got a new pair of chopsticks for Zhao Xiaojing and picked up the chopsticks on the ground to wash them.

"Sister Geng, don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. You've done your best. You just want a better life for your family. No one wouldn't want to pursue a better life if they have the means. You make such great breakfasts, and it's not wrong for you to be able to open a breakfast shop."

Zhao Xiaojing didn't want to interrupt at first, but her strong empathy made her want to comfort Geng Mingyan.

"Xiao Zhao, thank you, thank you."

Geng Mingyan paused while washing the chopsticks with her back turned, and wiped her eyes roughly with her hands.

Hou Guihua wanted to say something more, but after looking at Geng Mingyan who was constantly wiping her eyes, she closed her mouth again.

"Sister Geng, you should go and rest for a while. I've been learning from you for several days. I'm here, and you've taught me everything."

"Yes, Lao Geng, go wash your face. The other kitchen staff will be at work in two hours..."

Zhao Xiaojing and Hou Guihua were trying to persuade her worriedly. Geng Mingyan didn't want to trouble them at first, but when she thought about how she would inevitably have to ask other colleagues again when she met them, she thanked them repeatedly and then left the kitchen to calm down.

The kitchen, with only two people left, suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Xiaojing took a deep breath, pushing away the chaotic emotions stirred up by Geng Mingyan's incident. She lowered her head and rolled the last few long noodles for the fried dough sticks into horizontal strips. Then, she checked the time, took out the rested rice batter, and began to prepare the fried dough balls.

This preparation for the explosion is a bit difficult.

She did learn how to fry the dough balls from Geng Mingyan for several days, but she still couldn't control the oil temperature and the time it took to fry seven spoons at the same time.

Her task has not been completed yet because she has not yet mastered the technique of frying the dough balls.

Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the oil that had just been poured in and would take a while to heat up, then turned back and secretly glanced at the busy Hou Guihua, and decisively projected the oil pan in front of her into the virtual space to practice.

"Moisten the spoon first... put cold oil in the pan... pick it up when the oil is about 60% hot... pour cold oil..."

As soon as Zhao Xiaojing entered the virtual space, she let go.

The dough nest took shape quickly. After shaking the spoon, the dough nest slowly floated out of the spoon. Zhao Xiaojing picked up the first dough nest to test it, looked at it from left to right, then carefully broke it open and tasted it.

Uh... the result of operating independently is hard to describe.

The dough nest looks ugly, one side is big and the other side is small, and it is thick in the middle. It is far from the evenly round shape made by Sister Geng.

Moreover, the outside of the noodle nest was a little burnt, and the rice paste inside was a little watery and not fully cooked.

Then there is the seasoning. Although the seasoning is exactly the same, the taste is slightly different from Geng Mingyan’s, but it is not bad.

After the first failed experience, Zhao Xiaojing picked up the spoon and started frying again...

Three hours later, Zhao Xiaojing, who had already mastered the art of frying noodles, exited the virtual space. Just three minutes had passed in the real world.

[Ding~]

[Random Mission: There's a nearly perfect dish in the cafeteria, and the person who made it is hiding among you. Please look carefully for it and learn how to make it.]

【Random task completed】

[Congratulations on winning a copy of the fried noodle nest recipe and a free prize draw in the system mall.]

When Zhao Xiaojing heard this, her brows relaxed. After finishing breakfast, she hurriedly checked the system.

After seeing this, I understood what was missing from Geng Mingyan’s noodle nest and why it was a near-perfect delicacy.

It turns out that there is only one step missing. You only need to soak about 30-50g of soybeans separately, beat them into soy milk separately, and then add the thick soybean milk into the rice milk before frying and stir well.

The dough nests fried in this way will maintain a fluffier texture, and will be crispy, fluffy and fragrant.

Zhao Xiaojing nodded in sudden realization and decided to try it tomorrow morning.

Then she clicked on the lottery page and saw that the lottery ticket x1 was displayed for the 500 system coins draw. Zhao Xiaojing was all grinning from ear to ear.

She is not a gambler, so she has never thought about participating in the lottery even though she has been bound to the system for so long. But not thinking about it doesn’t mean she doesn’t think about it. Now that the benefits are at her fingertips, of course she will participate!

smoke!

【Congratulations on obtaining system gold coins x520! 】

???

Although the result is different from what I expected, I still made 520 system coins?

Draw again! This time it’s 500 coins per draw, since I earned it from the draw anyway.

【Congratulations on obtaining system gold coins x520! 】

…

OK, another 20!

Draw again!

[Congratulations on winning the course: Tai Chi x1]

[Because your current level is too low and the learning module has not yet been opened, you can only enjoy the course permissions for Tai Chi.]

Tai Chi? Zhao Xiaojing was stunned.

Although she did want to learn martial arts after the last incident where she pretended to be an urban management officer and closed down a stall, but... isn't Tai Chi a bit too early to enter old age?

I'm a little disappointed, I thought I would get some cooking skill improvement items.

"Host, don't underestimate Tai Chi. Any martial art that endures for so long has its own merits, and when mastered, all are equally powerful. Mastering Tai Chi not only strengthens your body, but also allows you to single-handedly defeat a large group in times of danger. Furthermore, with your virtual space, the extensive study and practice of Tai Chi will be a piece of cake for you."

"Can you really fight a group of people alone?"

After just a few words, Zhao Xiaojing was already moved by the system.

[When you reach the highest level, it becomes natural.]

"Okay! Let's learn Tai Chi!"

Zhao Xiaojing agreed very obediently, without realizing that the system meant that one had to reach the highest level before practicing.

"What do learning modules and only course permissions mean?"

The learning module is a module that can only be activated at a higher level. Tai Chi was originally supposed to be included in the learning module and used in conjunction with the functions within it, but you pulled it out early. Therefore, you can only study the course for now and cannot use other supporting functions.

So that’s how it is. It seems that Tai Chi courses are quite advanced. I’ll make a lot of money from this free lottery!

Zhao Xiaojing went back to the homepage and took a look. Next to the lit virtual space module, there was indeed a gray learning module. When she clicked on the module, there was a lit Tai Chi course inside.

Let’s study it later. Zhao Xiaojing exited the system with satisfaction.

…

"Who the hell is this? I park my shared electric bike here every day, and it can't be cleared away! Is this a blood oath?"

Wen Jieling stood by the car and cursed angrily. He had been eating too much recently and had gained weight visibly, so he would take a walk around the construction site after dinner every day.

"Haha, I told him he was here again! If you still don't believe me, here's ten bucks, hurry up!"

Zhou Yicheng walked out of the construction site with a smile on his face, pointed at Wen Jieling next to the shared bicycle, and shouted to Liu Yifan behind him.

"Son Jie, why are you so persistent? If you can't sweep it away, then you can't sweep it away. Why do you come here every day and make your dad lose ten dollars!"

Liu Yifan cursed and reluctantly scanned the code with his phone.
