When Li Miaomiao heard about this task, she thought it was a good one. It was not easy to make a meal of braised pork, but she could get 2,000 survival points, which was a good deal.
"Remind the host to pay attention to the word delicious."
"Isn't the braised pork I made delicious?"
Li Miaomiao was very dissatisfied with Ling Xiaoling's contemptuous tone. Wasn't the braised pork she made last time fragrant and delicious?
Li Yanan didn't say anything, but the whole village could smell the fragrance. Both her parents-in-law and the little ones were very satisfied with the meal. She herself also thought it was delicious, and it was even better than her previous level.
Although this improvement may be due to the ingredients themselves
But it is really delicious. The little guy still remembers it till now.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too eye-catching and there was no way to explain where the meat came from, she would definitely make another meal of braised pork for the little guy.
Ling Xiaoling saw through the host's thoughts
"Host, Ling Xiaoling must remind you that everyone praises the aroma of your braised pork because of the scarcity of supplies in this era. Even if you cook a bowl of plain meat, as long as it's meat, everyone will think it's delicious. It's delicious not because of your cooking skills, host."
"Yeah?"
"Of course, host, you are floating!"
Well, Li Miaomiao admitted that she was too proud. It was because her parents-in-law and the little ones at home were too flattering that she had an illusion and really believed that it was like that.
"Remind the host that there are cooking training courses available for purchase in the system mall. The host can purchase the training courses to improve his cooking skills."
Li Miaomiao hesitated for two seconds and clicked on the system mall panel.
The cooking courses are divided into several levels, but at her current level, she can only purchase the basic training courses. However, even the basic training courses require 6,000 survival points.
Looking at this number, Li Miaomiao was a little shocked.
"A basic cooking training course costs 6,000 survival points, why not grab it!"
In modern times, if you want to cook any dish, you can search it on various software and it’s all free. So when Li Miaomiao saw this number, she couldn’t accept it at all.
She had worked so hard to earn her survival points, but she didn't want to spend them like this.
Besides, completing this mission only gives you 2,000 survival points in total, so this deal is not worth it no matter how you look at it.
Ling Xiaoling didn't even want to complain anymore. His voice was flat and even, without any fluctuations, he said, "Gold and silver have a price, but knowledge is priceless. Host, don't be so short-sighted. The elementary cooking training course is not comparable to the so-called skills in some software in the host world. After the host purchases it, you will know that the course teaches more than just braised pork."
"That being said, when I reach a high enough level in the future, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to directly purchase the advanced courses? I'll also learn more."
Li Miaomiao admits that she is a contradictory person. Although she is quite lazy most of the time, she is sometimes ambitious. Since she wants to learn something, why not learn something better?
It's elementary, and sounds a bit inferior.
"Host, don't be too ambitious. You want to learn advanced skills before you even master the basics. You eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. You should be down-to-earth. Moreover, according to the system mall rules, you cannot unlock higher-level courses if you haven't mastered the basics. If you haven't even mastered the basics and haven't laid a solid foundation, how can you learn more advanced skills?"
Li Miaomiao listened to Ling Xiaoling's nonsense, the following parts were the key.
"So if I don't take the basic course now, I won't be able to take the advanced course at all? Ling Xiaoling, please speak to the key points next time you talk about things!"
"Yes, host. But not all are like this, only some paid knowledge courses will have this situation."
Li Miaomiao felt that it seemed reasonable.
"Okay, in that case, I'll buy the beginner's cooking course."
After all, she paid 6,000 survival points to buy the cooking course. However, after buying it and looking at the course content, she found that there was not only cooking training in a virtual environment, but also a real projection of a chef who taught her cooking step by step until she met the requirements. Li Miaomiao finally felt that the 6,000 survival points were worth it.
"This survival value is worth it." Li Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh
Time in the virtual kitchen flows slower than outside. One day in the virtual kitchen is only one hour outside. During this hour, she learned three dishes, including braised pork.
Of course, there are more than just these skills in the course. There are many dishes that Li Miaomiao has not learned. Once you purchase the course, it is permanent and you can learn it at any time in the future.
After learning, Li Miaomiao realized that compared with the various skills on those software, they are really not as good as the hands-on teaching of a real chef. Not to mention that some things must be practiced slowly, even the real unique skills cannot be taught so easily, and many of them are kept back.
"Of course. Anything produced by the system must be of the highest quality."
"That's right. You know, I spent 6,000 survival points. I only earn 1,000 survival points in a day's hard work. If it's not good value for money, I'm going to return it!"
Li Miaomiao said in a flowery way that although it is impossible to return the goods
Ling Xiaoling had some understanding of the host's virtues, and rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard this.
I don't know what the host is thinking. Is it fun to satisfy his desire to talk like this?
After learning how to make braised pork, Li Miaomiao was thinking about when she could go to the county town and smuggle some meat out from the system mall so that she could taste the real braised pork and see if it was as delicious as the one she tasted in the virtual space. She could also complete the task and earn back some survival points.
But before Li Miaomiao could make any move, Li Yanan had already arrived with the braised pork.
Li Miaomiao couldn't help but admire Li Yanan's efficiency, and suddenly realized that Li Yanan's previous statement of wanting to eat braised pork was not just a courtesy, but he really wanted to eat it.
"Well, I got the meat. I'll have lunch at your house today."
Li Yanan said bluntly and handed a piece of pork belly to Li Miaomiao. It was unknown how he knew that pork belly tasted better when made into braised pork.
"No problem, leave it to me and I'll keep it to your satisfaction."
If it were before, Li Miaomiao would not have such confidence when saying this, but things are different now. She has also studied cooking courses, and she is still very confident in what she has learned.
"I just like your straightforwardness. I'm going to eat a lot of meat today!"
Li Miaomiao pointed at the pork belly that Li Yanan handed over. It weighed more than two kilograms. Such a large piece of pork belly was enough for the three of them.
Although Li Yanan generously said that they wanted to eat together, Li Miaomiao was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others for nothing. In addition to the braised pork at noon, Li Miaomiao also prepared two dishes of her own, one was fried eggs with leeks, and the other was spicy and sour fish. She also made a few bowls of vegetarian dumplings and cooked white rice.
