Chapter 377 Harassment and Autism
No, it consumed two laborers?
Zhao Xiaojing immediately covered her forehead in grief.
How could she have forgotten this? The system's collection page collected dishes that were made entirely by her own skills. Nie Xiuqi helped a lot with the dish just now. Without his control over the key steps, it would not have been possible to reach level two.
So it is completely reasonable that the progress bar did not move. If she were to rely on herself, how could she have made the second-level Song Sao Fish Soup so smoothly?
"You two are truly a pair of powerful forces together. When will you teach me?" Wan Yuyue put down the bowl and came over to pull Zhao Xiaojing.
"Are you praising me?"
"That's absolutely true. Haven't you heard that two swords combined are invincible? If Master were here, he would agree with me! Senior Brother Yun, don't you agree?"
Wan Yuyue took Zhao Xiaojing's arm and praised her with a playful smile. She turned to look for Yun Yongyuan for his approval. However, when she turned around, she found that Yun Yongyuan, who usually supported her, had returned to his stove and started cooking again in a hurry.
"Hey, why did she stop? You're using the cold shoulder!" Wan Yuyue shouted at Yun Yongyuan's back. After a while, Yun Yongyuan still didn't respond. Wan Yuyue had no choice but to turn around and look at Zhao Xiaojing with a squint. "This is what I learned from you. Ever since you started using the cold shoulder today, Senior Brother Yun has been busy with his own things and stopped talking to me. How are you going to compensate me for my mental damage?"
"After the competition, if my Song Sao fish soup can reach the level of Senior Brother Nie's just now, I will teach you two how to make it, is that okay?" Zhao Xiaojing glared at Wan Yuyue who was acting like a fool.
"Hehe, you have the final say, then you go ahead and get busy." Wan Yuyue knew when to stop and saluted Zhao Xiaojing in a servile manner before returning to her seat. While practicing, she kept turning her head to chat with Yun Yongyuan.
It was supposed to be a chat, but in reality, Wan Yuyue was harassing him unilaterally. Yun Yongyuan was a little absent-minded at first, but he still responded normally. Later, as Wan Yuyue started talking more and more, Yun Yongyuan gradually stopped responding, only politely answering questions with one or two words.
Wan Yuyue had been talking non-stop because she was impatient because she saw that the other party didn't want to pay attention to her. Seeing this, she started to ask Yun Yongyuan why he didn't want to pay attention to her and whether he was in a bad mood. After this question, Yun Yongyuan stopped talking completely.
After paying attention to the two of them for a while, Zhao Xiaojing pretended to pass by them with some food, turned on the quality inspection module, and her eyes quickly swept over Yun Yongyuan's prepared dishes.
There were five dishes, almost all of which were level four, and the best one was level three, which was the twice-cooked pork that he was best at.
Yun Yongyuan was indeed not in a good condition. It seemed to have started at noon. He was fine yesterday.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me? Is there something wrong at home?" Wan Yuyue behind him kept asking.
"Senior Sister Wan." Zhao Xiaojing turned around.
"what?"
"Look at what you cooked. You put too much yam vinegar in the stir-fried pork with chili peppers, the chicken in the Kung Pao chicken was so tough I couldn't chew it, and the peanuts were mushy. Why is the spicy and sour chicken so salty?"
"You know all this without even trying it?" Wan Yuyue opened her eyes wide in shock, looking at the dishes in front of her.
"Redo everything!" Zhao Xiaojing managed to hold herself together and said with a stern face.
Seeing the familiar stern face, Wan Yuyue didn't dare to say anything and immediately started washing the pot.
Zhao Xiaojing then turned around and blinked guiltily.
I'm sorry, Senior Sister Wan! You've made great progress. Even without watching you today, you performed especially well. These issues are actually very minor, and I'm completely exaggerating. But who told you to harass others without knowing how to behave? Didn't you see that Senior Brother Yun was so annoyed by you that he became withdrawn?
After scolding Wan Yuyue, the kitchen fell silent. Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the bustling Yun Yongyuan a few more times, hesitating a few times whether to ask him privately. Then, thinking that they had just finished talking at noon, she should let him relax. Everyone has bad moods sometimes, and maybe tomorrow will be better, so she gave up.
At dinnertime, Yun Yongyuan appeared to be paying attention to Wan Yuyue again, chatting and joking as usual, but he was clearly not in the right mood. Dishes were often left uneaten, the highest rate of waste since he arrived. Fortunately, Zhao Xiaojing was there that evening, so even with one less person cooking, the four of them could still keep up, and the kitchen was able to function normally.
Zhao Xiaojing was afraid that Yun Yongyuan would feel pressured so she didn't say anything. Wan Yuyue asked several questions but Zhao Xiaojing kept finding fault and blocked her conversation. Later, Wan Yuyue herself realized what was going on and kept complaining that Zhao Xiaojing was biased, but she no longer tried to dig into Yun Yongyuan's thoughts, and everything was peaceful for a while.
For three consecutive days, Yun Yongyuan's cooking skills were sometimes normal and sometimes out of control, but Zhao Xiaojing had two happy events on top of each other, so she no longer had time to find him alone.
It was a double joy. First, Zhao Xiaojing was so excited after seeing Nie Xiuqi make the second-level Song Sao Fish Soup that she practiced day and night. With the help of the slower flow of time after the virtual space upgrade, she finally made Song Sao Fish Soup to 60% of the system recipe. She bought the recipe and started learning the system version of Song Sao Fish Soup.
Second, on the Monday after the audition, Su Yuchen and his band, as an all-part-time band, finally signed an official contract with Wen Jin's company and began promotion, production, and distribution, being busy every day.
Su Yuchen and Zhao Xiaojing had already adjusted their profit split a year ago, agreeing that Su Yuchen would only go to the restaurant in the mornings and not in the evenings. This would have been plenty of time. However, the other four people all worked nine to five and didn't have the same free time as Su Yuchen, so Su Yuchen had to cooperate and accommodate their schedules.
In order to cooperate, Su Yuchen could only go out at 4:30 in the afternoon every day, drive for nearly an hour and a half to meet up with everyone, and then drive back for another hour and a half. He would always get home in the early morning, and had to get up early the next morning to open the store with Zhao Xiaojing.
At the beginning, it was okay for the five of them to rehearse two or three times a week, but since the band and Wen Jin got together and started recording the EP, this situation has been going on almost every day, and Su Yuchen is a little overwhelmed.
After signing the contract, Zhao Xiaojing saw that this situation would continue. After thinking about it for two days, she decided to find Su Yuchen to discuss opening a store again.
That night, Su Yuchen went out to work with the band as usual. After washing up, Zhao Xiaojing sat quietly on the sofa, closing her eyes and practicing in the virtual space while waiting for Su Yuchen to come home.
It was not until one o'clock in the morning that Zhao Xiaojing's practiced Fairy Duck had some charm and was promoted to level 40. She used the reward system coins to draw two physical customized coupons. Only then did Su Yuchen tiptoe to open the door and come in.
"Hey! You scared me. Why aren't you asleep yet? Waiting for me?"
"Yes, I've been waiting for you. Why are you so surprised?" Zhao Xiaojing chuckled when she saw Su Yuchen's reaction.
