It was deep autumn, with half-yellow leaves curling and falling from the branches. The chatter of two maids in front of the fire in the yard drowned out the rustling sound of overflowing medicine. In the room, one breath became heavier than another, but no one looked at it.
"I'm afraid it's almost time. I won't make it through this autumn."
"…Who told her that she didn't have the eyesight to compare with Madam's? Did she really think she was her biological daughter? Look, she fell into the water, and she was the only one who was embarrassed."
Another burst of laughter came into the room. In the high fever that made it difficult to breathe, the shrill alarms rang one after another. Si Li vaguely remembered the unsaved running files on the computer before she fainted. Relying on the last bit of respect for wages as a worker, she pulled herself together and finally heard the sound that rang at the same time as the alarm.
He choked back with a childish voice, "I will never embarrass my mother."
The first sound was the synthesized electronic voice that I was used to hearing during daily operations. "Warning, the host's vital signs are abnormal. Warning, the system is about to be forced to shut down."
"Host identity verification passed, the chef system starts binding, current level: Level 0."
"Host's vital signs are abnormal. Emergency measures are activated. The novice gift pack is locked to the first aid medicine. The conditions for use are met and it has been used."
After a few electronic sounds rang out, a cool feeling flowed through her limbs and bones, and the discomfort in her body was relieved. Si Li's brows relaxed, and it took her a while to come back to her senses from the weak crying.
The childish voice I heard before rang out again, "Wake up, wake up! Then, I'll leave it to you, sister."
What the hell?
Si Li held her swollen and aching head, and a lot of memories suddenly appeared in her mind along with the childish voice. Looking at the surroundings, the wooden screen, paper window frames and bedside curtains, none of them should appear in her small apartment.
The memory in his mind belonged to a little girl of the same name who was less than fifteen years old and died of a high fever after falling into the water. Si Li did not read it carefully. Recalling the electronic voice he had just heard, he asked tentatively, "System? Have I traveled through time?"
The electronic voice mechanically replied, "Congratulations to the host for binding to the God of Cooking System. This system will assist the host to become a respected God of Cooking and enjoy a happy life." The tempting advertising slogan coupled with the cold electronic voice has an inexplicable sense of humor.
Si Li clapped her hands expressionlessly. "You should go learn some advertising skills from the chef's new western. I'm working overtime at home, earning 20,000 yuan a month, and I'll have my annual leave soon. My life is pretty good. Please send me back. Thank you."
[System: This system is a future technology that spans time and space. Please be patient with the host. The system and the host have a mutually beneficial relationship. No fees or other expenses are required. The system only binds free spirits, that is, dead individuals. Based on the host's strong will, the system can unbind them. The host will return to the dead state and the cost of the novice gift package will be deducted. ]
Other industries require more computers, but the IT industry requires more brains. Si Li had a sense of hallucination. Before she lost consciousness, she saw her fat cat lying with its legs bent, the roast goose that had just been delivered, the game cartridges she was going to play during the New Year holiday, and a phone number she hadn't called for a long time. The image of her home appeared in her memory in a fragmentary yet real way.
But the other part of her mind, the much clearer memory of "Si Li", clearly showed that something unreasonable had happened. The original owner was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister of Ning Dynasty. Prime Minister Si did not care about things, and the eldest daughter who should have been raised in luxury was raised by her stepmother into a timid and cowardly little fat girl, who also thought her stepmother and sister were good people.
A few days ago, the original owner and her sister Si Tang went to Guangji Temple to burn incense. On the way, they met her sister's classmates. The original owner, who hardly ever left the house, was ridiculed for being ignorant and having no upbringing. During the argument, the original owner was pushed into the pool by Si Tang.
The original owner was so scared that she tugged at Si Tang's sleeves and not let go. Not only did she see clearly the disgust in Si Tang's eyes towards her and her mother, but she also pulled a cushion on her back. After falling into the water, everyone else was nervous about Si Tang. After Si Tang was rescued and returned to the Si family's manor in the suburbs of Beijing, some people remembered that there was also Si Li who fell into the water with him.
It's a typical story of having a stepmother and a stepfather. Si Li is now living on the Si family's farm in the suburbs of Beijing. If nothing unexpected happens, it's actually not bad to eat and drink here. What kind of system is this? Isn't it nice to live a life over again?
However, salted fish also need capital, and the basic information panel popped up by the system made Si Li feel the great malice of life.
【Host Si Li:
Taste: 7 (Your taste is worth cultivating for the God of Cooking.)
Smell: 6 (For a chef, your sense of smell is slightly better than that of an average person.)
Stamina: 3 (To the God of Cooking, you are a useless person who can't even lift a pot.)
Luck: ??? (Surviving uses up all your current luck.)
Achievement value: 0
Money: 0
Current tasks: Novice Task 1 (to be reviewed); Mandatory Task "Ali's Wish" (to be reviewed).
Auxiliary skills: Programming Lv.5; unknown (to be unlocked)
Cooking: Level 0 (Kitchen explosions, burnt pots, seasoning poisoning, etc. may happen at any time, so you need to pay attention to your life safety.)
Recipe: One star for cold cucumber salad, one star for persimmon rice cake (to be learned), one star for mung bean cake (to be learned). 】
It's fine that the robber system forced me to take the mission, but why is the money zero? After all, she is a daughter of an official family, she shouldn't be so poor, right? ?
After looking through the original owner's memories again, Si Li was almost pissed off. The original owner didn't care about money. For so many years, she never paid attention to where the monthly allowance went. She spent money like water to support two maids, and she didn't keep a penny.
The Salted Fish Plan was aborted. The system's high-tech translucent silver-white panel floated in the air. The design similar to the game panel made people unhappy. Si Li's head was as big as a bucket. Looking at the original owner's past memories, the money given by the stepmother would never fall into the hands of the original owner. The original owner's food and clothes were all left over by the two maids. How could she live like this?
The original owner couldn't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands, and Ning Dynasty didn't have a computer. Now there was no other way except to obey the system.
Si Li skipped the basic information and clicked on the task bar.
[Novice Task 1: Cooking requires a safe and comfortable environment. Please work hard as a reserve chef. Adapt to your current body within one day.]
Reward: Redemption Mall (Trial Version) is open, random one-time dish bonus x1; Punishment: confinement to bed for one day. 】
[Mandatory mission "A-Li's Wish", asks the host to complete Si Li's last wish and make the stepmother admit her mistake and acknowledge that Si Li did not bring shame to her mother.
Mission duration: three months.
Reward: Full use of the body; Punishment: System unlocking.
Tip: The current achievement value and unlocked value are zero. When the system unlocks, the host's spiritual energy will be used to offset the cost of the novice gift package. Therefore, the system is not responsible for any defective results such as death. 】
Comparing the two tasks, the punishment for the mandatory task is obviously more severe. Looking only at the rewards, the novice task is full of the flavor of distributing novice gift packs.
Si Li was not interested in risking her life to challenge the system's punishment. She got out of bed, stretched her legs, and started to do her task. Suddenly, she thought, "No, if I die, the little girl will be gone too. Why do you still discriminate against the residents of this world and not tie her up? If she has any wishes, just let her go by herself."
[System: The host's authority is insufficient, please upgrade your level as soon as possible. ]
That is to say, the system binding is not a pure coincidence. Since it is here, Si Li is not interested in mixing with the original owner, and has other ideas, "If I can't complete the task, can I work for you and earn other money to pay for it?"
[System: The cost of the novice gift package is converted into 100,000 achievement points. The host can obtain achievement points by completing dishes or tasks. ]
"Then let's start with a 100-point trade?"
[System: According to system calculations, based on the host's current level, if you work all day and all dishes are successful, you can get up to 30 achievement points. 100 achievement points will take more than three days. Based on cost considerations, it is recommended that the host complete the mandatory task. ]
In other words, in order to deduct the novice gift package, you will need to work diligently for ten years.
Sorry for disturbing you.
As an IT worker, Si Li's happiest moments are playing games and eating delicious food. However, the food she makes is always rejected by her tongue, and 50% of her monthly salary is spent on ordering takeout and eating out. Who would have known that she would be bound to the chef system and become a chef after traveling through time?
The system really overestimated her.
The screams outside the door interrupted Si Li's thoughts, "The medicine is going to be used up!"
"What are you afraid of? It doesn't matter how much she drinks. Madam, are you really afraid that she won't be able to bear the bumpy ride?"
The maids still thought Si Li was unconscious and spoke without restraint. Si Li listened and smiled.
The original owner's "kind-hearted" stepmother naturally left her on the farm to wait for death.
The original owner was unconscious, but Si Li could see everything clearly. After the accident, the stepmother came to the manor and left the doctor she brought with her, saying that the original owner was weak and couldn't move and asked her to recuperate in the manor. At the same time, she hurriedly took Si Tang back to Beijing. The surface work was done well, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that the capital is so big, and there are many doctors who are better than the doctor Chen that the Si family often invites. How could she let Si Tang down?
As the maid was complaining, there was a sound of a door opening in the distance, and someone shouted rashly, "Young lady, are you still not awake? This is bad, this is bad, you are going to be burned to death!"
Si Li was deeply impressed by this voice. When the original owner fell into the water and was half unconscious, it was she who ran back to the manor with the original owner on her back, shouting "someone is dead, someone is dead". Because this girl's shouting was known to everyone, it forced the stepmother to severely punish the original owner's two maids.
The two maids who had just spoken came up and said, "Xiao Que, you have no manners at all. Who allowed you to come here? How can you say that you are stupid?" Although the words were harsh, the expectation in her heart could not be suppressed.
As if Xiao Que Ya didn't notice their indifference, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. "My mother said that if you catch a cold, you need to sweat. I'm here to give you a quilt!"
After stretching her legs, Si Li felt a little sleepy again. The system had not yet determined that the task was completed. She had no interest in listening to the quarrel outside, so she opened the door.
"Xiao Que, come here."
The voice calling was a little hoarse. Qinglian turned around and saw the overly thin girl leaning against the door frame. After the flush of the high fever faded, her entire face, including her lips, was only pale. Her eyes were the only thing that was bright and amazing. In just three days, the image of the white and fat girl changed drastically. The softness and timidity on her body were swept away. With her chin slightly raised, she showed a sharp and imposing beauty like an ice blade.
Si Li faced the suspicious looks of the maids who nominally belonged to the original owner, and curled the corners of her lips, "My mother loves me and let me recuperate in the manor. Is this how you serve me?"
Qinglian, who had spoken the loudest just now, shuddered for no reason and gave way.
The round-faced girl Xiao Que took two steps at a time and walked forward, wrapping Si Li in the quilt she was holding. Before she could react, a scent of cotton soaked in sunlight enveloped her, "Miss, you'll get cold!"
Si Li grabbed the corner of the quilt, and the coldness seemed to be Qinglian's momentary illusion. The girl was not annoyed by Xiao Que's rudeness at all, and said gently, "I sweated and the quilt is damp. I need Xiao Que to dry it."
Qingyu picked up the earthenware pot that was on the small copper stove under the eaves and only had a layer of thick juice left. He bowed and said disrespectfully, "Miss, you've woken up just in time. Drink the medicine and then rest."
Si Li yawned perfunctorily, "Put it on the table. It's just heated up, how can we eat it? What are you doing standing there? Why don't you help Xiao Que? If you don't dry it now, you will have to go get the quilt again in the evening, and cause trouble for the manager of the manor, Wang."
Qingyu's face tensed up at first. Si Li had never picked on them before, and her temper was as gentle as a face. But after hearing the last sentence of being afraid of the manager, she suspected that she was overthinking. It was clear that she was still the young lady who bowed her head and sought perfection in everything.
Qingyu responded and pulled Qinglian, who was still in a daze, into the room.
The three of them quickly made up the bed and put on new bedding. Qingyu was about to urge her to take medicine. Si Li coughed twice in a boastful manner, "Go down, Xiaoque, sleep with me for a while."
Hearing her cough, Qinglian and Qingyu frowned almost at the same time, unconsciously stepping into Si Li's routine, and regardless of whether Xiao Que was suitable to be with Si Li, they hurriedly said, "Miss, please take a rest."
Si Li waved her hands, closed the door, and deliberately took a few steps on the spot. Then she heard Qing Lian complaining, thinking that she had gone far away, "Why are you moving forward? She doesn't know what's good for her, and are you blind too?"
Qing Yu whispered, "Madam, you have to save face after all. If she makes a complaint to you when we return to the capital, you and I are just a servant, so we will be punished if she punishes us."
Qinglian snorted, "We have to be able to go back. Let's go, the manager has some porridge and side dishes for us. We'll take the subsidy money and go to the stalls on the official road first. Everyone is awake now, so it's better to give it to us instead of letting Doctor Chen get away with it. Even in this desolate place, there's nothing good to buy. It's all her fault for causing trouble."
As the voices faded away, Si Li knew that her guess was correct. The stepmother's pride was a double-edged sword. In the past, she let others cheat the original owner, but now she can use this reputation to deceive the maids and servants around her. The original owner had too few people around her, so she could only resort to this last resort. When she returned to the mansion and faced her stepmother later, she would still need real strength.
Just as I was thinking about it, the system broadcast suddenly sounded.
[System: After completing the novice mission 1, you will get a one-time dish bonus "Pretentiousness" based on the host's behavior. After eating the bonus dish, there is a 30% chance to increase the momentum within a quarter of an hour, and a 50% chance to reduce the momentum within a quarter of an hour. The redemption mall (experience version) is now open. Novice mission 2 has been issued. ]
Si Li: ??? System, come out, I suspect you are scolding me.

Thank you "Xiao Chunjie?" the cute little mine, I will continue to work hard.

Pre-collection of "Mu Xiu Gambles on Stones to Raise Spiritual Plants in the Star Interstellar"
Mu Xiu and Ye Ran were struck by lightning and transported to the interstellar era, becoming members of a mineral planet that was about to be abandoned.
The spiritual energy of this era was extremely thin and chaotic. She was poor and weak, so she could not directly cultivate spiritual plants or draw energy into her body. The money in her pocket was only enough to buy nutrient solution for a few days.
Fortunately, she found a stone with rich spiritual energy at a gambling stall in the mining area, and it only cost one hundred yuan!
Seeing that Ye Ran had chosen the worst E-grade raw material, the knowledgeable people laughed at him for being another fool who wanted to get rich overnight, until he opened it...
They were almost blinded by the lush green!
Ye Ran: No problem, open another one and I’ll take it back to make a flowerpot.
All gamblers: ??? What kind of flowers are worthy of being planted in a royal green pot!!! Too much!
Upon hearing that a high-success-rate jade gambling master had been born, various mining and wealth families were ready to come and work for them.
However, before taking action, the Federal Academy of Sciences announced in a high-profile manner that it welcomes new members to join:
"Welcome Ms. Ye Ran, who developed the anti-insect explosive pepper, the giant fly-catching plant, the training partner Shadow Vine... and the first biological mecha, to join the Federal Academy of Sciences to fight against the insects together!"
The families who wanted to make trouble were all dumbfounded: Wait, wait? The mecha grown in the imperial green flower pot seems to be worth it...
From an orphan girl stranded in a waste mine in a foreign world to the sudden emergence of Ye, the Midas Touch, the first plant master in the universe, the first person to create biological mechas, Ran, she couldn't help laughing and crying when she saw the textbook with her name printed on it:
#Mu Xiu really just wants to do his old job of cultivation well#
#Who knew that I could accidentally innovate technology and establish a new school of thought#

Pre-collection of "Starting with a Raft [End of the World Stockpiling]"
In 2050, after a total solar eclipse, the world was digitized overnight, and the Blue Planet became a disaster testing ground. Faced with rampant monsters and alien plants, wildly rising sea levels, alternating extreme days and nights, extreme cold and heat, humans struggle to survive.
After Song Tang woke up, he looked at his broken raft and the ugly fish monster opposite it, and fell into deep thought:
Why does this look so much like the garbage-collecting infrastructure game she just completed? !
Good news: All the illustrated books and full-level physical fitness in the game are inherited into reality.
The bad news: She's at the beginning of the game, living on a raft that's made of nothing and less than one square meter.
——Return to her the big raft villa, big boat and full warehouse that she worked so hard to build!!!
"Damn it! I've already told you, that slimy fish monster, don't come over here! You could die if I touch you with one finger! I have to wash my hands!"
