Meng Taotao had already left, and Si Li had no way to explain it. Fortunately, there was still a long time for them to get to know each other, and she hoped that she had not left any strange and pitiful impression on this first employee.
The novice mission is over and the system panel has also changed.
[The only host: Si Li
Achievement Points: 89
Money: 10 taels of silver
Mission: Mandatory mission "Ali's Wish" (83 days remaining); "A Small Trial" (to be reviewed)
Employee: Meng Taotao (Cooking Level 1, Loyalty 80)
Cooking Level: Lv.0
Recipe: Empty Star Cold Cucumber, Half Star K-Ke Mashed Potatoes (Fake), One Star Wolf Tooth Potatoes (Not Learned), One Star Pastry Not Learned x2. 】
After practicing knife skills for a few days, the culinary level did not move. The system did not display the experience bar or proficiency values, so everything could only be figured out by myself. Thinking about the prices she had seen before, Si Li did not intend to go to the fully unlocked redemption mall to humiliate herself. She just pretended not to see the mandatory task and clicked on another task refreshed by the system.
[A small test: Guangji Temple's Buddhist Dharma Assembly is about to begin. Outside the temple, there are many snacks. An excellent chef candidate cannot work behind closed doors. He needs to gain enough fame. Please display five dishes on the day of the Buddhist Dharma Assembly and receive the approval of 100 people.
Mission progress: 0%
Reward: Random dish bonus x1, 100 taels of silver; Punishment: Deduct 100 achievement points. 】
Si Li: "I think you want me to die. Where would I get five dishes to set up on the stall?" Failure would deduct 100 achievement points. The points that I had worked so hard to save were about to become negative. It was no different from saying clearly that failure would result in death.
【System: The host's recipe quantity meets the requirements.】
There is no difference between not learning a recipe and not having it at all!
Si Li's head is as big as a bowl. The Buddhist meeting that she could attend optionally before has become a must. Learning to cook three one-star dishes in three days is almost an impossible task.
Seeing that it was not too late, Si Li clicked on the recipes of two kinds of pastries. No video pop-up window appeared, but the memories that had been instilled into her mind before kept churning.
From learning how to make the pastry crust to mixing the fillings, the traces of the original owner's steps were clear. The memory was quickly read through, and the system panel in front of her showed the ratio of pastry ingredients. After scanning it, Si Li couldn't help but frown.
The ratio given by the system is almost completely different from the original owner's experience.
Fortunately, all the materials that Madam Li wanted were available. Si Li sifted the glutinous rice flour three times and divided the flour into two parts. One part was prepared according to the ratio displayed by the system, and the other part was prepared according to the original owner's experience.
First, soak two persimmons in warm water as required by the system. Then peel the skins of the remaining two persimmons and mash them into a paste. According to the original owner's experience, mix two spoons of rock sugar powder and flour. A ball of orange-red filling exudes a sweet and tempting aroma.
After the original version of the filling is ready, the persimmons that have been soaked according to the systematic method can also be taken out. Peel and mash them in the same way, add a spoonful of rock sugar water to mix with the flour. The wet and soft bowl of filling does not look very good. After the sugar water is poured in, it disappears without a trace, and only the unique aroma of persimmons is wafting.
After the same filling wrapping process, since there was no original owner's steamed cake mold, Si Li gave up making the cake into an exquisite rectangle and put six round dumplings on each side into the pot and turned on the fire.
Soon the steam filled the entire kitchen. The system's built-in countdown ended and Si Li opened the lid of the pot.
[System: Ding Dong, a pot of persimmon-filled rice cake with too much sugar and unripe persimmons is complete, achievement points +2.]
Hearing the system prompt, Si Li breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it’s not a failure.
However, before, achievement points were counted for one plate, but why did the cakes become one pot? Si Li felt a little regretful, she should have steamed them in two pots.
[System: Achievement points are calculated based on the completeness of the food processing and dish making process, and have nothing to do with the carrier.]
You are the system, so you are right. Si Li just pretended that she had never thought about cheating.
This success was obviously due to the original owner. Many of the processes were completed subconsciously. If it were her in the past, it would have been difficult for her to even fill the pot.
The first thing I tried was the rice cake made according to the original owner's method. It tasted the same as the half piece of rice cake that Si Li had eaten when she first came here, and the texture of the still-warm rice cake was softer than before.
Si Li tried the rice cake made according to the system ratio.
The sticky and light taste of glutinous rice is completely absent in this cake. It is extremely soft and fluffy, similar to steamed bread just out of the pan, but with the unique soft and sticky taste of glutinous rice. When the edge of the round cake is bitten open, the persimmon filling slowly flows out, and the flow rate is between the cheese filling and the custard lava sand that I have eaten before, which fully displays the color and fragrance of the persimmon. It is as if I have seen the red lights of the trees in the harvest season before I eat it.
The moment the glutinous rice cake wrapped with the filling enters your mouth, unlike the sweetness highlighted by the sugar in the original rice cake, the original sweetness of the persimmon is stimulated by the sweetness of a little sugar, rolling over the tip of your tongue, and you will still remember it until you finish eating it.
A small piece of rice cake had been eaten without her noticing. After eating the rice cake made by the system, Si Li could no longer say that the rice cake made by the original owner's ratio was delicious. The more she compared it, the more she could taste the astringency of persimmon suppressed by the sugar in the rice cake made by the original owner, which made it even harder to swallow.
After all, it was the first one-star dish that she successfully made. Although it was crushed by the system recipe, Si Li did not want to give it up. With the system version of rice cake as a good example, Si Li was embarrassed to give her employees the original rice cake that was not good enough, but it would be a pity to throw it away. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered the tasting system that she had forgotten.
Yes, if a failed dish of salad cucumber can be exchanged for ten cents, a one-star dish can always fetch one or two silver coins, right? A new way to get rich is right in front of us.
This time, when the tasting menu was clicked, the system announcement did not sound. The round table remained the same as before. The note with the words "unpalatable garbage" that Si Li had seen was still hanging in a corner above the round table, like a silent mockery.
Si Li once wanted to tear it up and burn it, but the note always returned to the space above the round table before she could put her thoughts into action, which made her helpless.
Si Li's teeth itched as he read this, so he pulled out the note, touched some charcoal ash on it, and wrote on the back with his finger.
"I have to finish the meal I made myself even if I cry."
Unexpectedly, the note did not slip away this time.
Seeing the sarcasm turned into inspirational quotes, Si Li's anger subsided a little. She put the remaining cakes on a plate and placed them on the round table.
The "senior" image did not appear, and the round table was silent. Si Li waited for a long time but there was no system announcement.
Strange... After the novice period, does the tasting system no longer work?
The sound of footsteps outside the door came closer and closer. Si Li didn't have time to think about it anymore. She closed the system panel and went out.
Lingtao Courtyard was dark and silent, with only the warm, yellow light from the fire in the small kitchen behind her.
Meng Taotao stopped and her bad mood after being chased and ridiculed by the Huang family all the way suddenly improved. Just like Si Li promised, she now had a home.
Xiao Que ran away from her, her surprised voice could be heard outside the courtyard, "Miss finally got the steamed cake!"
"Ahem." Si Li felt a little embarrassed. She had tricked Xiao Que into coming here with the original owner's pastry skills, but now she was only able to eat it.
Seeing Meng Taotao stop, Si Li looked at her in surprise, "Is everything going well?" Without waiting for her to answer, Si Li pulled Xiao Que who ran straight to the pot and instructed, "Two for each person, eat less glutinous rice at night, don't eat it all!"
Meng Taotao couldn't help laughing and said, "She should eat less. She just ate a bowl of tofu at Huang's house, and Mr. Huang's face turned blue."
It was cold outside, Si Li welcomed her in, and when she turned around, there were only three cakes left in the steamer. The little bird's cheeks puffed up, and she looked over with watery eyes, "Miss, I want to eat."
Under the attack of cuteness, Si Li and Meng Taotao spoke at the same time, "Here you go, here you go."
Xiao Que was strong and had a big appetite. In the end, Si Li and Meng Taotao only ate one piece each, and the rest went into Xiao Que's stomach. She took the last piece and licked the runny inside with care, "Miss, you made it even better than before!"
Meng Taotao was talking about his experience at Huang's house, and Si Liheng glanced at him, "After eating, you work hard. If you eat too much, you will have a stomachache tomorrow."
Meng Taotao's visit to the Huang family was unexpectedly smooth. Apart from being ridiculed by Mr. Huang, nothing else was lost. After finishing his meal, Xiao Que listened to Meng Taotao's concise narration and imitated Mr. Huang's way of speaking, stretching out his tone, "Don't think you can become a phoenix just now. You don't understand the twists and turns of the nobles. After all, you are from my family. Don't say that I, an old man, didn't help you when the time comes."
Si Li groaned and said, "It seems that he understands my situation." The Huang family had never had much contact with the original owner on the farm. Si Li had only gone there to eat a snack once, and there was nothing wrong that could be noticed. It could only be that Manager Wang let it slip when he was selecting people, or Qingyu had specifically looked for his family.
Before being smuggled into the manor by Huang Cui today, Meng Taotao knew nothing about Si Li's lack of people. When the two of them compared the information, both of Si Li's guesses were possible, and she was at a loss for a moment.
Si Li put aside this question and started another conversation, "Tao Tao, what procedures did you need to go through to set up a stall on the official road? I haven't been out these days, and the Buddhist conference is coming soon, is the stall space tight?"
Meng Taotao was surprised, "Miss, are you going to open a food stall? The small markets here in the suburbs of Beijing are usually managed by the mayor of the city. The mayor doesn't come often, so the Huang family only needs to tell the manager of the manor in advance, and then ask the gatekeeper under the mayor for a note. But Miss guessed wrong. There are fewer people setting up stalls these days. They are all preparing for the Buddhist meeting three days later."
It was such a blessing to have someone who was familiar with the process. If it weren't for Meng Taotao, Si Li thought she could just push the cart through.
With the loyalty limit set by the system, Si Li was not worried at all that Meng Taotao would lie or cheat her, so she said with peace of mind, "Then tomorrow we will go find the gatekeeper and get the stall permit from the Buddhist Association."
Meng Taotao frowned, "Isn't it too hasty? There are many people in the Buddhist Association, and the guards will definitely limit the number. It's useless to offer him offerings. And the young lady has no cart or shed, and no oil paper or wooden box to wrap the food. It's also her first time there. If she only brings food, the cakes that could have been sold at a high price will be worthless."
Si Li knew that she was talking about the positive effects of packaging and promotion on the product. However, the system task was there, and she had to do it no matter how difficult it was. Otherwise, it would be a shame to lose her life on such a task.
After pondering for a while, Si Li said with reason, "Before the New Year, there will only be one Buddhist meeting to get busy. If I don't go this time, it will be even harder to do business in the future. I have already thought about it, Tao Tao, you don't need to persuade me. Since the gatekeepers may not work, I will ask the steward for his ideas tomorrow. I need Tao Tao to help me with what I need to prepare."
[System: Due to the host's willful behavior, employee "Meng Taotao"'s loyalty level is -1.]
Obviously, she failed to convince Meng Taotao.
Si Li: It’s so difficult for me.

The author has something to say:
After Qingyu left, the prince, who suddenly became trash can number 2, slowly typed a question mark.

The system's proportioned persimmon processing is actually the warm water decontamination method, with a water temperature of 40-50 degrees, a little higher than bath water. The warm water (? ) mentioned above is quite useful. I happily ate persimmons last year using this method.
