After walking for an hour, Haitang was exhausted. After arriving at their destination, Haitang and the others began to pick wild fruits. When Haitang squatted down, she heard "[Ginger...]" and immediately became happy. She quickly started digging, but there were only a few around.

"This stuff is really spicy. Why do you always want these weird things?" Hearing this, Haitang turned around and looked at Xiaoqiu.

"Xiao Qiu, do you know what this is?" Haitang asked.

"I know, this thing doesn't taste good." Hearing this, Haitang was slightly taken aback, and at this moment Xiaoqiu added, "There's another kind of bright red fruit that's also very hard to eat, and it's just as spicy."

"Where is that thing?" Haitang immediately perked up. With ginger and that thing, she could start making sauce for the small fish and shrimp.

"On our way back, there's a small valley with many [things]." Upon hearing this, Haitang was immediately delighted, and then she and the others started walking on the [hillside].

Haitang sat down and looked at the quest, then realized that she only needed one more to accept it.

Haitang immediately cheered up. While eating, she said to Xiaoqiu, "Xiaoqiu, you should try some." Haitang gave Xiaoqiu a portion of the vermicelli she had made, and Xiaoqiu was slightly taken aback.

"What is this?" Xiao Qiu was slightly taken aback when she saw the crabapple blossom. She smiled and asked Xiao Qiu to try it.

Haitang's rice noodles are served cold; if served hot, they will easily become mushy. Haitang uses wild fruits for seasoning, offering both bitter and sweet/sour flavors, but none are spicy.

"This is delicious." Haitang smiled and looked at people as she ate the rice noodles, immediately becoming happy.

"This stuff is made from a type of sweet potato. Right now, it's being processed into vermicelli, which can last for about a spring and winter." This is just spring and winter; there are no spring, summer, autumn, or winter seasons. It's either freezing cold or freezing cold like it is now.

“One spring and winter.” Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiu was surprised. “Really? How do I do that?” Hai Tang took out a sweet potato leaf.

“There are fruits under these leaves, and they’re this big… Find them for me, and I’ll make them for you, but I’ll only get a third of them,” Haitang said. Hearing this, Xiaoqiu immediately nodded.

Xiao Qiu's child is quite old now, so it's definitely possible for her to go and look for him. She can also ask others, "Can I tell more people?"

"Yes, you can all come together." Xiao Qiu nodded when she heard this. It wasn't that Haitang didn't want to teach, but she needed to store up food, and half of it had already passed.

The family had very little food, and if they didn't get something to eat soon, they would all starve to death. When Xiao Qiu heard this, she was happy, and the other girls listened too. "You can look for some too, you can try it." Haitang used chopsticks to put some leaves on the leaves for the girls. As they ate, their eyes lit up, and they all nodded to indicate that they would go and look for some.

On the way back, Xiao Qiu took Hai Tang to see where the chili peppers were. They were indeed chili peppers, but they were huge, bird's eye chilies... some were even the size of a child's fist.

"That's great..." Haitang put down her things and immediately ran downstairs, then took a bite.

[Chili peppers have been discovered, and ten usable food receiving systems have been found.] The news came quickly.

The next second, someone spoke up, "Hello host, I am your system, and I will accompany you for the rest of your life."

"System? What about my tasks and newbie gift pack?" Haitang asked immediately, stopping picking chili peppers altogether.

“Begonia…” Xiao Qiu looked at Begonia and said. Upon hearing this, Begonia was immediately startled and came back to her senses, and began to pick chili peppers.

The people who were with us last time were Xiao Qiuguo, and two others, Xiao Shu and Xiao Guo, all started helping.

"This stuff tastes awful." Several people frowned, disliking the flavor.

"This stuff is really good. I'll cook it and then you can all try it," Haitang said. The others nodded, but they didn't really expect it.

Haitang is probably messing around because she has nothing to eat right now. After picking some chili peppers and taking them back, Haitang started looking at the system. The system reluctantly gave her a newbie gift pack.

When Haitang looked at the newbie gift pack, she noticed the items on it: [Food Making Video], [Fruit Wine Video], and [Random Seed Selection].

"What are all these things?" Haitang asked, slightly taken aback.

"This is your reward, but the food is all of ancient standards, and the fruit wine is about the same." Hearing this, Haitang's lips twitched.

"Then I need the yeast starter. I don't need anything else right now, I just need the yeast starter," Haitang said. She herself could brew wine; she was a food vlogger.

In many situations, I enjoy making my own food, and I do it with everyone. I also brewed wine, and after waiting for half a month, the wine was delicious.

"How about you give me a jar, or some yeast?" Haitang said. The jars here were ugly, and she wasn't satisfied with any of the contents on them.

Then, regarding the seeds, what she needed right now was the ones that were available. Upon hearing this, the system's lips twitched. "You can only choose the ones above."

Hearing this, Haitang frowned. "Then the seeds..." She sighed. She had a winemaking workshop at home, and there was still a jar of wine without yeast. As for the food, she could make it herself. Suddenly, she felt like she had been tricked.

"Do you have a shop where I can buy things?" Haitang asked, having read many novels and already familiar with the usual tricks.

"No, being accepted by the system simply means you'll receive a reward." Upon hearing this, Haitang's lips twitched, and after glancing at the other person, she shook her head helplessly.

However, the task soon appeared, and it was about pursuing delicious food. [Make sauerkraut fish and you will be rewarded with a personal knife.] Haitang was a little surprised when she saw this.

"What do you mean by 'for personal use'?" Haitang looked at the knife, which was probably the size of a fruit knife, and laughed, thinking it was the kind of kitchen knife that rich people used.

"Because your level is not high enough, the items you receive can only be tried by yourself. And do you think you can keep this knife if others see it? When others see it, they will only think it's a stone knife," the system said. "We cherish the system very much."

"...What you said makes a lot of sense." Since they were speaking so much in my best interest, I didn't argue. But what if there's no cabbage in the pickled fish?

Without Chinese cabbage, where would I make sauerkraut fish? Haitang wondered, "Are you a gourmet system or an appraiser? Why is everything about food?" She asked, somewhat puzzled.
