During this tense time, Jiang An remained focused on her production work and spent a lot of time chatting privately with players. If she felt the price was reasonable, she would make the transaction directly, because she simply didn't have the time or energy to haggle with players on her own.
Jiang An was not affected by the changes in the outside world.
However, the atmosphere around them grew increasingly oppressive, instilling a sense of fear.
Players began frantically hoarding warm clothing.
Heavyweight warm items like quilts and cotton-padded clothes have long disappeared from the trading channels and are being traded privately at high prices by powerful figures like these.
Although Jiang An's windbreaker isn't particularly warm, its windproof feature alone surpasses most of the warm items available on the trading channel.
But as transactions increased, she also ran into trouble because she didn't have enough raw materials.
Many players trade special items that Jiang An needs, such as fruits that provide buffs. There are also some trades using raw materials, but not many.
After trading 40 down jackets and 10 Tang swords, she stopped working.
She began to organize her trading gains during this period.
[Stamina Fruit*2, Agility Fruit*1, Capacity Expansion Stone*2, Steamer*3, Bandages*2, First Aid Kit*1, Desk Lamp*2, Cloth*56, Cotton*60, Hot Water Bottle*2, Baking Powder*50g, Chili Seeds*2, Cabbage Seeds*4, Cherry Tree, Electricity Card*100 kWh, Sleeping Bag*1, Women's Underwear*3, Thermos*2... ...]
After sorting all the items neatly, I ate the two stamina fruits and one agility fruit that I had harvested today.
Then I started preparing today's dinner.
Jiang An took the ingredients she had collected from the refrigerator and placed them on the dining table. Then she clicked on the panel and opened the cooking skill.
"The recipe I received as a reward for upgrading to Level 2 Chef today..." she muttered to herself as she looked at the system interface.
There are 10 recipes in total, with ingredients ranging from easy to difficult to obtain. In the end, Jiang An chose a dish that had most of the ingredients, and the missing one or two ingredients could be replaced with other ingredients.
She decided to use a new recipe to make tonight's dinner—boiled sliced pork.
Jiang An sliced the fresh pork into thin slices, put them in a bowl, added appropriate amounts of salt, cooking wine and starch, stirred well, and marinated for a while.
Next, she washed and chopped the bean sprouts, bean curd sheets, and other side dishes and set them aside.
Heat oil in a pot, add scallions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add fermented bean paste and stir-fry until the oil turns red. Then add an appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil.
After the water boils, first put in the side dishes and cook them until done. Take them out and place them at the bottom of the bowl. Then, put the marinated meat slices into the pot one by one and cook until they change color. Take them out and place them on top of the side dishes.
Finally, Jiang An poured the broth into a bowl, sprinkled it with minced garlic, dried chili pepper pieces, Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings, and drizzled hot oil over it to release the aroma.
A delicious and visually appealing boiled pork slice dish is now complete.
[Deliciousness +10, Stamina +3 (75-minute time limit)!]
[Cooking Master Level 2: 42/1000]
Besides boiled sliced pork, Jiang An also made another simple staple food—steamed rice.
In this way, she made a total of 40 servings of food, all of which were sold out.
"Boss, your cooking is amazing! Every time I eat your boxed lunch, I have to eat an extra steamed bun. There aren't enough steamed buns for me."
"Sister, your food is so delicious, but I only ate it once. I really can't afford it anymore, it's too expensive."
"ox!"
......
Jiang An felt a surge of pride and immense satisfaction as she read the positive reviews from the diners.
Although she has the advantage of skills, she understands that it is mostly due to her own superb culinary skills.
After all, if she didn't have excellent culinary skills, how could she make these foods so delicious?
Jiang An happily replied to each message one by one: "Thank you!"
Jiang Anlian simply ignored the diners who tried to find out how she acquired her skills or what those skills were.
She wouldn't tell them.
However, she is not worried that other players will discover that the food she makes has a buff effect.
Since the introduction of skill books, players' ability to accept them has greatly improved.
Nowadays, all sorts of strange and unusual skills are emerging, and people have long been accustomed to these peculiar things.
Therefore, her food has special effects, but it doesn't cause much of a stir.
However, Jiang An's cheat code was due to a bug in the game. She experienced the special features of this cheat code, but as for how much benefit it could bring her, it was still limited at this stage.
Because improving a chef requires making a lot of food, which takes a lot of Jiang An's time and energy, although she can exchange it for resources, she also gets a lot of useful blueprints because of her high luck value. The things she makes can also be exchanged for a lot of resources.
Compared to blueprints, chefs don't have many advantages.
