Chapter 121: Immunity Potion
It’s over, it’s over, pork trotter rice!
Zhao Xiaojing sat up suddenly, looking at the dark sky outside the window, and immediately remembered the pot of pig's feet that had just been braised in the afternoon and the fire that Su Yuchen turned off.
The pig's feet themselves are not important, they can be braised tomorrow, but that is related to her mission, and she has a fever in order to complete the mission ahead of schedule!
Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly looked for her cell phone and called Su Yuchen.
"Awake? How do you feel?"
"Comb, give me that pot of pig's feet!" Zhao Xiaojing said anxiously.
"What pig's feet?! I think you're about to burn into a pig's foot!" Su Yuchen interrupted her angrily, "I think you're crazy, right? You just woke up and you want to fall down again, right?"
"Comb, I feel much better now. I'm not dizzy anymore..." Zhao Xiaojing's voice suddenly weakened. "But my pot of pig's feet..."
"Brother Lu has already made that pot of pork trotters for you! You can rest assured and have a rest, they will be on sale tomorrow!" Su Yuchen said helplessly.
"Lü Hongwen? Isn't he selling sugar water?"
"I'll tell you when we get home tonight. We're cooling the stew according to your instructions! You should get some sleep."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing felt relieved and soon fell asleep again.
It was not until Su Yuchen came back at around eleven o'clock and called her to get up and take medicine that she opened her eyes in a daze, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she asked about the pig's trotters again.
Su Yuchen cursed her for being possessed, took Zhao Xiaojing's temperature, and after finding that it had indeed dropped, he told her the whole story.
It turned out that after Su Yuchen sent Zhao Xiaojing back in the afternoon, he called Lu Hongwen.
Her original intention was not to sell the sweet soup tonight because Zhao Xiaojing was sick. She was a complete layman in cooking and usually just helped out. The important parts were all done by Zhao Xiaojing herself. Without Zhao Xiaojing, the sweet soup could not be sold at the stall.
Lu Hongwen was concerned for a while, and after asking about the situation, he learned that the pork trotter rice could not be made for tomorrow. He scolded Su Yuchen for wasting food. Braising meat was such a simple thing, and there was a pot of good braising liquid in front of her, but she couldn't even do it. She wasted the time she spent learning from the chef.
After asking for the address, he came to the kitchen right after class at 4:30. While Su Yuchen was out selling the leftover braised pork rice, he was in the kitchen prepping the pig's feet that Zhao Xiaojing had blanched that morning but hadn't had time to braise.
When Su Yuchen returned from setting up the stall, Lv Hongwen had already finished braising his pig's feet. Su Yuchen didn't know how he had done it. But according to him, as long as the braising liquid was good, anyone could make a good one.
When Su Yuchen lived alone, she was content with simply cooking rice and had little interest in cooking. Zhao Xiaojing gave up after several attempts to teach her how to make it. However, she knew the steps Zhao Xiaojing used to make pig's trotter rice, so when she caught up with Lu Hongwen, they took out the braised pig's trotters, cooled the broth as Zhao Xiaojing usually did, and then soaked them again.
"Tonight, we really didn't have enough pork trotter rice. I only set up my stall at the school for an hour and it was gone. When I came back, I ran into a bunch of neighbors wanting to buy more. I told them it was gone, and they kept urging me to make more tomorrow." Su Yuchen smiled and shook his head. "It's the same with Lu Hongwen. When I got back, he said he ran into several neighbors who came to buy rice from him. He said he had no rice, and they kept pointing at the pot and asking about it."
Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the system's backend data: 371/500. Not bad. According to the original plan, she should be able to complete the 500-piece task by tomorrow's lunchtime. She just didn't know how Lv Hongwen's braised pork trotters were; she'd have to go check it out tomorrow to find out. If it's truly not good, she'd rather complete the task later than sell a badly braised pig's trotter. As a chef, food quality is paramount and cannot be compromised.
"What if we don't have any shredded potatoes for dinner?" Zhao Xiaojing only made enough shredded potatoes for lunch that morning. After they sold out, only about a bowl remained, which she and Su Yuchen devoured. She made more sauerkraut than she could reheat, so it would be enough for Su Yuchen to eat in the evening.
"Hey, of course I can't stir-fry shredded potatoes, but I thought it was just a small buffet dish. So I bought ten pounds of melon, peeled it, and mixed it with some cold water as a substitute. I didn't expect the students to be so happy."
"You know what, this is also an idea... We can really change the seasonal vegetables regularly, mix tomatoes and cucumbers, which are also good. Comb, you are so smart!" Zhao Xiaojing nodded in sudden realization.
Su Yuchen got up early the next day and asked Zhao Xiaojing to take her temperature again. Only after confirming that there was no problem did he feel at ease to let Zhao Xiaojing move around.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Zhao Xiaojing took out a pig's trotter and cut a piece. When she cut, she felt that the meat was neither soft nor rotten, and the color of the cut was no different from usual, which made her feel relieved.
As long as you don't overdo it, everything will fall apart and there is still hope.
Zhao Xiaojing took a bite of the cut meat and nodded in agreement. Although Lü Hongwen had said that as long as the marinade was good, the meat would be good, there was a difference between simply braising and taking the time to slowly braising.
Although the meat in Lu Hongwen's pot was not cooked enough, it was still quite good overall. The flavor was all in and the meat was glutinous but not dry. At least it could be put back into the pot and sold, so today's business could be done.
"How is it? Is the braised food okay?" Su Yuchen, who was peeling a melon, turned his head and asked.
"Not bad. He must be quite experienced in cooking. Much better than I thought. I really didn't realize it."
"That's fine. I was afraid of ruining your pot of pork trotters, so I didn't dare to do it myself." Su Yuchen smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
As usual, Su Yuchen went to set up the stall at noon, and Zhao Xiaojing stayed in the kitchen to make today's sweet soup and braised pork feet.
Although it was agreed that each person would set up the stall per day, Zhao Xiaojing was the main force and there was so much she needed to do, so Su Yuchen took on the job of setting up the stall directly.
Just after twelve o'clock, Zhao Xiaojing had just finished selling meals to a few neighbors when the system notification sounded.
Ding~
[Random Task: Sell 500 servings of Secret Pork Knuckle Rice at 30 yuan each. This task has no time limit. The sooner you complete the task, the greater the reward.]
[Task Progress: 500/500]

[Due to the host becoming ill due to excessive strain during the mission, the original rewards have been adjusted to: 2 Immune to All Diseases Potion (immune to all viruses upon use), 2 Body Strengthener (40% Strengthening), 2 Physical Customization Scrolls, and 500 Experience Points.]
Zhao Xiaojing was stunned. This could be adjusted? What was the original reward? But this reward seemed pretty good. No longer getting sick after using it was incredible!
And there are two copies of each, and two custom coupons? Zhao Xiaojing's mind moved.
"System, can the Immunity Potion and Body Strengthener be transformed into physical objects using the custom scroll?"
[Yes, it can be transformed into two portions of colorless and odorless liquid medicine.]
"Can they be mixed together?"
【Can】
"Then can I combine the two in the system and convert them out with a customized coupon?" Zhao Xiaojing was about to agree when she suddenly had an idea.
