Lu Yunxi was counting money with a bitter face.

Shen San saw the subtle expression on her face at a glance, and immediately guessed something, so he said sympathetically: "Master, I have some silver on hand, let me advance it to you first!" After that, he went to the doctor to pay the money.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had Shen San to help her, otherwise she would be really at a loss now!

However, this incident did remind her that although she traveled to the world of holographic online games, she still had to live and could not live without any money for herself!

Because she was afraid of tearing the wound, Lu Yunxi could only put on her shoes slowly, but when she looked up, she saw a bookshelf.

There's actually a bookshelf in the clinic?! This is such a strange arrangement! The bookshelf is so remote, tucked away in a recessed corner, that she wouldn't have noticed it if she hadn't walked into the clinic!

She casually pulled out a book and saw "Basic Herbs" written on the cover. She turned a page and saw illustrations inside, which described in detail the usage, picking methods, growing areas, preparation methods, etc. of each herb.

The most important thing is that her pharmaceutical skills, which had never improved, actually improved!

Lu Yunxi's heart began to pound.

It turns out that the books in these shops can increase your proficiency, and you can level up after gaining experience!

She suspected that other stores might also have books, but she just didn't notice them when she went there before!

"Doctor, how much is this book?" She immediately raised the book in her hand and waved it at the doctor.

The doctor looked her up and down, his eyes seeming to say, "You? Can you afford it?" He replied in a very cold tone, "A book on the first shelf is 10 silver coins, a book on the second shelf is 1 silver coin, and a book on the third shelf is 500 copper coins."

Lu Yunxi felt a little depressed. This meant that the money she had now was only enough to buy a three-story book!

She flipped through the books on the third shelf and found that the content was very simple. They were all what her mother had taught her and were of no use to her.

It seems that I can only wait until she has money to buy books on the top two floors!

It was already night when they came out of the clinic. The streets were quiet. Lu Yunxi and Shen San said goodbye and went home.

The next day.

Lu Yunxi got up very early, and when she arrived at the restaurant, even Shen San had not arrived yet.

She found the shopkeeper and discussed it with him.

After thinking it over for a while, the shopkeeper agreed to her terms: "Okay, I'll send the person over to you in a few days, and you can let him use the things in the kitchen."

When she returned to the kitchen, Shen San had already arrived. He was surprised to see her: "Master, why did you come so early today?" Usually he would come to clean first, and the master would come to the restaurant after he had finished cleaning.

Lu Yunxi smiled faintly: "Haven't you always wanted to learn cooking from me? From today on, you will practice well beside me!"

Shen San was shocked, then overjoyed: "Really? That's great! Master, thank you!" Although he guessed that it was related to his help to the master yesterday, he really couldn't refuse such a good thing! After all, he had people looking for so much information for so long, and the people below still had no clue!

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately poured a cup of tea from the side, knelt down, kowtowed three times respectfully, completing the ceremony of becoming a disciple.

Lu Yunxi was stunned by his actions.

Others don't know, but doesn't she?! This Shen San is a player! If a local NPC did this, she wouldn't be surprised, but a player... he doesn't have to go to such lengths! Unless, cooking is really important to him!

But she couldn't understand why cooking was so important. Could it be that becoming a chef was his dream?

Lu Yunxi glanced at his apprentice with complicated eyes, then took the cup of tea and drank it.

"Okay, you should work hard in the future and strive to become a master chef as soon as possible!" She encouraged him and gave him the red envelope she had prepared long ago.

Of course, she didn't have any money, so the red envelope she gave wasn't money, but rather the equipment she had crafted herself. Although it was only blue, it was the best equipment she had been able to craft so far. Furthermore, only a few players could get blue equipment, and most of them were still wearing novice outfits!

However, Shen San didn't pay any attention to what was in the red envelope. He put the red envelope into his backpack as soon as he got it, and only paid attention to her cooking.

Lu Yunxi was a little amused and introduced the knowledge his mother had taught him: "Chefs are divided into white case and red case. White case mainly makes noodles and dim sum, while red case mainly cooks dishes. And different places have different preferences for flavors. What kind of dishes do you like? We can start by learning from your favorite!"

Shen San was stunned for a rare moment. How could he know what a white case or a red case was? He had never even heard of it!

He blinked. "Well... I'm not particular about that. Any flavor is fine. Whether it's noodles or vegetables, I can learn all of them! Is that okay?"

"Of course!" She paused, then nodded, feeling even more sympathetic. This child must have a hard time in the real world! Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what he likes to eat.

"By the way, who are you planning to cook for when you learn to cook?" she asked casually while preparing the ingredients.

"...Yes," he thought for a moment, then half-truthfully explained the situation. What if he didn't explain it clearly and the food he made wasn't suitable for the old man to eat? "My grandpa is sick, so I want to make something for him!"

Her cooking hands couldn't help but pause for a moment. She looked up at his expression and thought to herself: No wonder! Why did he insist on learning to cook from me?

"Your grandfather...did the doctor tell you what to eat to replenish your body and what to avoid? You need to ask clearly so that we can know what to cook!"

"Ah?!" Shen San was stunned. The doctor didn't say anything about not being able to eat. He just told them to give the old man more natural foods. The more the better, so that it would be less likely to cause any problems!

The trouble is, the old man really hates eating natural foods. Even if it's made in the best hotel, he can only eat one or two bites! The rest is left to others to deal with!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so desperate to find a master in the game! Although his master's cooking was already far superior to any StarCraft chef, he still wasn't completely sure if the dishes in the game could be replicated in real life!
