Chapter 196 Damn it, this is too abnormal!
【The God of Cookery's Magical Spoon】(Grade B): The spoon that the God of Cookery used to taste the saltiness of his dishes after cooking. Over time, it has become imbued with the God of Cookery's essence. Using it to eat allows one to taste the imperfections in the dishes.
She'd used this magical spoon many times and could indeed taste its shortcomings, but that's the problem! She'd detected the shortcomings, but then what? How could she fix it?
It's like she's doing a math problem, flips to the back to look at the answer, and there's a 9 written on it, but they don't tell her the solution process at all. That really tests her comprehension...
She had long realized that her talents lay in alchemy. Sometimes, Hufflepuff only needed to give her a slight hint, and she could quickly realize where she had made a mistake in her potion and how to correct it. Most of the time, she would not make the same mistake twice, and she didn't even need Hufflepuff to explain in detail.
It can be replaced with cooking...
She uses this magical spoon to taste her own dishes that score 80+ points each time, and the general process is as follows:
I took a bite—oh my god, could I be the legendary master chef Xiao Ge?—but something felt off.
Unsure, let's take another bite and savor it—hmm, it's indeed delicious, but something does feel off.
One more bite—no wonder it only scored in the eighties, something's really not right.
After showing off the whole bowl, I still couldn't figure out what was wrong.
She even doubted whether this spoon deserved a B rating; she thought the game was just giving face to the God of Cookery, trying to curry favor with him...
But the skill "This life is unbearable" feels different. It doesn't require the maker to savor it or guess what it's doing. It lets the food communicate with you directly. How considerate!
Thinking of the conversation she overheard when she transformed into a cat, and the expressions on their faces when they saw Shen Yushi, Yu Xunge suspected that this was a gift the Han family planned to give to Shen Yushi.
This is a bit awkward. She has no qualms about taking things from the male and female leads; she takes them without any guilt.
But she felt uneasy about intercepting Shen Yushi's things. No matter how stubbornly she said she would treat the old lady as an ordinary relative for the rest of her life, how could Yu Xunge forget the help Shen Yushi had given her? Not to mention that this thing must be a good thing for the old lady as well. But she could not give up this skill book.
Yu Xunge simply added Shen Yushi as a friend through email records.
There was no way she could test him. If she had simply asked, "If the Han family gave you something, would you accept it?" the old lady would have immediately concluded that Yu Xunge had obtained something from the Han family that they had originally intended to give her, and that the child was being stubborn and had come to ask her.
[Yu Xun Ge]: Is there anything you're missing?
[Shen Yushi]: What did you do that you feel guilty about?
[Yu Xun Ge]: Just thank you for cooking for me these past few days.
[Shen Yushi]: Thank you? What kind of thanks are given on the eighth day?
[Yu Xun Ge]: Recipes? Kitchenware? Ingredients? Skills? Equipment? Items?
[Shen Yushi]: Hmm, looks like he's got a stubborn streak again.
[Shen Yushi]: Anything related to the God of Cookery, props and equipment are fine. I have a talent: the more items the God of Cookery uses, the stronger I become.
Without saying a word, Yu Xunge mailed the [Rusty Spatula] and the [God of Cookery's Saliva Bag] to Shen Yushi, as he was worried about what to do with these two items.
She didn't give it away, not because she was reluctant, but because she stole it from Yu Xunhuan. She couldn't give it directly from her, not even to Shen Yushi. She had to pass it through an intermediary.
[Shen Yushi]: Received it, I really needed it.
Yu Xunge then headed straight to the airport. After returning home and regaining his human form, the first thing he did was learn the phrase "This life is unbearable".
Then she made a dish of braised eel in hot oil, which is the dish she is most skilled at making. After it was cooked, it scored 83 points.
It's a good thing Shen Yushi didn't see it. If he had, he would have to criticize Yu Xunge. He's addicted to cooking, and he hasn't even mastered his culinary skills yet, but he's already making dishes that require precise control of the heat...
Yu Xunge looked at the glistening and fragrant dish with great anticipation and used the phrase "This is unbearable."
The next second, the eel screamed.
"I can't live like this anymore! Do you even know how to cook?! You made a huge mistake right from the very first step. You've almost turned the braised eel into dried eel. How many times have I told you, if you want something delicious, stop thinking about low-fat and low-calorie dishes!"
"This dish of yours is a long story. Five of the eel strips were cut thicker than the others, there wasn't enough oil, the oil wasn't hot enough before you put them in the pan, you stir-fried them for 5 seconds too long, the soy sauce wasn't flavorful enough, you added the salt too early, you didn't stir-fry evenly enough, the cornstarch slurry was too thick, it looked like it had been licked by a cow, the Sichuan peppercorns weren't from this year, and the peppercorn variety was wrong..."
"And the tableware, tableware, tableware! Where did you find these chopsticks in some nook and cranny? They're not even fit for me! And your chopsticks and plate don't even match! A porcelain plate with disposable wooden chopsticks? Good heavens, this is so absurd!!"
Yu Xunge & Tu Lan, who flew over excitedly after smelling the aroma, ready to start the meal: ...
The dream of becoming a master chef has been shattered.
The day after her dream was shattered, Yu Xunge received her ninth reward from Shen Yushi—bamboo shoot and shrimp shumai.
While sharing the steaming hot shumai with Tulan, she anonymously listed the "God of Cookery's Magical Spoon" on the auction house, setting the fixed price at 999 gold and the starting bid at 888 gold.
Yu Xunge didn't plan to remove the soup spoon from the shelf and pretend it had been sold after the time was up; she had a better idea.
She can be quite stubborn, but sometimes her stubbornness is just to make herself feel better, not for the sake of a good reputation.
Just like how she didn't want to kill Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo herself, not because she cared about her reputation, but simply to make herself feel better, she now planned to try to get Yu Xunhuan to bid on this soup spoon and give it to Shen Yushi. Anyway, as long as the spoon was in Shen Yushi's hands, she would feel comfortable.
Moreover, she can also earn money from Yu Xunhuan.
As for whether Shen Yushi will change his opinion of Yu Xunhuan because of this, Yu Xunge is certain that it will not.
She knew from her past life that Shen Yushi disliked Yu Xunhuan. Even when she and Yu Xunhuan were young, Shen Yushi disliked Yu Xunhuan.
After they moved to S City, Shen Yushi secretly visited her many times. At that time, Yu Xunhuan always thought that Shen Yushi came to see him and even told her that Grandma knew she was wrong, but this statement was completely wrong.
Shen Yushi was neither here to see Yu Xunhuan, nor did she "repent".
When the old lady treated her to ice cream, she told her that her biggest regret was not pushing Yu Qingshan's head into the toilet to eat shit while Yu Qingshan was unconscious. Yi Qiuguo would definitely have been happy to help her drag Yu Qingshan to the bathroom.
