Chapter 3 Mission Completed, Mission Begins Again
Seeing that the child had started to make a fuss, Zhao Xiaojing calmly cut the straw raincoat ham sausage into several sections with scissors, then poured it into the sauce bowl and mixed it all together.
The ham hit the stainless steel bowl, making a crispy sound, and every section of ham in the bowl was soaked thoroughly in the red-palm oil sauce.
Pick up one and take a bite, your mouth is full of oil, mmm~~
"Ah!!" The uncle had ripped the child's hands apart, and the child sat down on the ground, screaming sharply and slapping the ground with his limbs.
"I'm giving you face, right? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"
"Waaaaaaaa... I want to eat it, I want to eat it! Ahhhh..." The child burst into tears.
There was a soft ding sound.
[The limited-time task has been completed, you can click on the page to receive the reward]
Zhao Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief, quickly opened the door, and handed over the bowl of mixed straw raincoat and ham sausage.
"Don't cry, little ones. There are still several sections in this bowl. I cut them with scissors and they are untouched. Please eat them."
Upon hearing this, the child who had been prying at the door quickly took it, and the child on the ground stood up in a second.
"Um... I'm so sorry for eating your food for free. Oh... Aoao, Duoduo, you two should say thank you to your auntie!"
"Sister Crab!"
"Sister Crab!"
Seeing that the children were smarter than him and knew to call him sister, the uncle felt embarrassed again. He didn't know what to say, but the two children had already finished their food in no time, and Zhao Xiaojing took the bowl back.
"You're welcome, it's okay." Zhao Xiaojing quickly closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time as the uncle outside.
The world of social anxiety is really difficult.
Opening the system backpack, Zhao Xiaojing excitedly checked the rewards.
[Congratulations on receiving 20 system coins, 50 cash, and 100 experience points. Experience points can be used to upgrade system items.]
[After system evaluation, the current cook's level is: 10 (low level, just a rookie, the maximum level is 100). This upgrade will receive 100 system coins and 200 cash.]
"System, how can I complete a quest and still get a higher level as a cook?"
[The system rating is based on a comprehensive assessment based on strict standards. Due to your mastery of sword skills, you have been promoted from level 8 to level 10.]
Zhao Xiaojing was delighted.
Ding Dong. A text message alerted Zhao Xiaojing. She looked and saw a pop-up message on her phone saying 250 yuan had been deposited.
Although the numbers made people want to complain, the money was real. Zhao Xiaojing held the phone and read the text message of the money arrival over and over again.
The money wasn't much, but for her, who was forced to drop out of high school and had been working odd jobs to take care of her mother, it was easily earned.
During the three years her mother was ill, her already modest family became even poorer, and Zhao Xiaojing began to live under the scrutiny of her relatives. Zhao Xiaojing's father had passed away early, leaving her an orphan with few relatives to begin with, and once her mother became ill, most of them began to avoid her.
Although she was afraid of Dong Mei, her feelings towards her were very complicated. When her mother was sick, Dong Mei was the only one who gave her 80,000 yuan without hesitation.
Although she had forced Zhao Xiaojing to marry in her previous life, and forced her to marry her second husband after Zhao Xiaojing divorced with her child, Dong Mei's generation believed that marriage was the only destiny for a woman. After all, she herself was like that, and even when life was not going well, her mindset never changed.
Having dealt with Dong Mei all her life in her previous life, Zhao Xiaojing knew her very well and knew that it was almost impossible to change her. So from the moment she was reborn in this life, she wanted to work hard to make money to get rid of the series of compromises brought about by the pressure of owing Dong Mei a huge sum of money.
At this time in her previous life, she had just lost her job. Her unscrupulous boss owed her several months' salary and then ran away, leaving Zhao Xiaojing with only two or three hundred yuan.
Seeing that he was about to be unable to pay the rent and could not find a job for a while, and Dong Mei came to his house to lecture him every few days, he did not dare to ask for a loan, so he compromised and got married.
Zhao Xiaojing sniffed hard, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall.
Don't think about it, it will only add to your worries. There is no use in being sad about the passing of time.
Fortunately, there is hope now. She earned 250 yuan on her first day back, which is enough to cover the cost of working for her unscrupulous boss for several months.
"System, what is the function of this body enhancer?" Zhao Xiaojing continued to browse the system and asked while looking at the body enhancer in her backpack.
[This is a comprehensive potion. After use, it can permanently enhance your physical fitness by 10%. It is very useful.]
"Then I'll use it now."
[I'm using a body strengthener (10% type)...]
【Strengthening Success】
There was nothing special feeling. Zhao Xiaojing tried to lift the pot and the bed, and found that it was much easier than before and did not feel heavy at all. It seemed that her strength had indeed increased a lot.
Zhao Xiaojing continued to study the system.
The system page currently has three modules: skills, mall, and virtual space.
Click on the skill module, which is in a pyramid shape. The sword mastery at the bottom is lit, and the others are still blank.
When I open the mall again, there are two lighted modules, namely the lottery and recipes. There are some gray modules below, indicating insufficient permissions.
The prize for the lucky draw was 500 system coins. Zhao Xiaojing took a look at the system coin balance of 620 and decided to quit.
The recipe module contained a secret fried skewers recipe, which was priced at 600 system coins. Zhao Xiaojing hesitated for a while, but was finally moved after the system told her that this was a top-notch recipe, an exclusive secret recipe of this world.
purchase!
[Congratulations on obtaining the secret fried skewers recipe, experience x500, the recipe is being transferred...]
Zhao Xiaojing's mind began to wander to various types of fried skewers, along with the oil temperature, frying time, and techniques required for each. She also considered marinating meats, battering techniques for vegetables, and the soul of fried skewers—the secret dipping sauce.
Wow! There are so many details to deep-frying skewers. Each type of skewers comes with a different dipping sauce.
After learning, Zhao Xiaojing felt very ashamed of the fried ham sausage she had just made. Thanks to the knife skills she had just acquired, she cut the sausage very delicately and the ham sausage was fried until crispy from the inside out. Otherwise, today's task would not have been completed so smoothly.
[Ding, the limited-time task has been triggered]
[Limited Time Mission: Learn the secret recipe for fried skewers and sell 3,500 skewers at a stall. This mission will be refreshed after 7 days. Failure to complete will be considered a failure. Please choose whether to accept.]
【whether】
As soon as the task was given, Zhao Xiaojing instinctively chose yes. She was afraid that the system would start a countdown to abandon the task.
"But what does this learning mean? Don't I already know it? Wasn't it passed down to me just like mastering the sword skills?"
[Knife Skills Mastery comes with the Newbie Gift Pack and is the only skill you can master without having to learn it yourself. Fried skewers are just a recipe for you, and you still need to practice to master it.]
Practice? Zhao Xiaojing choked.
Where can I practice? How can I practice? Doesn't it require buying materials? Doesn't it cost money to buy materials? Does she have any?
