“Okay, then I’ll buy a pound to try first.” After replying, Xiaoli immediately transferred 72 yuan to Xiong Bowen, 12 yuan of which was for shipping.
Seeing this, Xiong Bowen shook his head and sighed, "Ah! This girl is really a good girl!"
He knew that Xiaoli wouldn't accept the money if he didn't, so he accepted it.
Dating, going to the movies, having dinner, booking a hotel room, dowry...
No rush, there will be many more places to spend money in the future~~~
After receiving the money, Xiong Bowen ran to Yu Hui's stall and bought a pound of braised beef, intending to take it home, pack it in a plastic bag, and then send it over.
After finishing these tasks, he opened the Youth Pioneers/group chat.
"Hey everyone, when are you guys coming over? I'll treat you to the best food from my hometown and give you a real treat!"
Young Man's Spring Dream (Skinny Monkey): "Really? You've made it big now? You used to be so stingy at the factory, you'd take forever to even buy a two-dollar soy milk."
Chasing the Wind (Xiao Bao): "It's been quite popular where you are lately. The guy selling boxed lunches is pretty handsome, but compared to me, he's still a bit lacking."
Damn it, Dad (Big Mouth): "Give me a break! With your dark complexion, you dare to compare yourself to others? You not only look like Song Xiaobao, but you're not even as good-looking as her!"
With a roguish air about him (Xiong Bowen): "Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you serious questions, give me an answer now!"
Damn it (Big Mouth): "I think it's a good idea. I've been lying in bed for half a month since I quit my job, and I'm so bored at home I'm about to explode."
Chasing the Wind (Xiao Bao): "I still have four days of annual leave left. I can take it anytime. Once I've decided on the date, I'll ask the workshop supervisor for permission."
Young man Chunmeng (Skinny Monkey): "Since you all agree, I have no reason to refuse. I'll go too! I've been asking for Brother Xiong's grilled gluten for over a month, and now I can finally eat it!"
Beep beep beep...
Messages kept coming in as the four energetic young men chatted animatedly in the group chat.
Once the time for the gathering was confirmed, Xiong Bowen breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
He was afraid that if they didn't come, he would have no reason to see Xiaoli.
Now that everything was settled, he felt completely relieved and even started humming a song.
"There was a girl in the village named Xiaofang. She was beautiful and kind, with big, beautiful eyes and thick, long braids..."
Upon hearing the jarring singing, Aunt Zhang slowly turned her head and looked at Xiong Bowen, who was engrossed in the song.
Has this child lost their mind after the fall?
She was about to speak when she suddenly felt it was inappropriate to interrupt someone's singing, so she crumpled up a tissue into a small ball and stuffed it into her ear.
Even though it can't completely block out the noise, it's much quieter now, within an acceptable range.
......
On the other side.
As usual, Yu Hui sold out his goods first and, amidst everyone's envious gazes, rode his tricycle back to his dormitory.
Lying on the sofa, he stared at the ceiling and softly called out, "System, open the control panel!"
In an instant.
A transparent, floating screen appeared in front of him, displaying his personal information clearly.
Host: Yu Hui
Age: 25
Height/Weight: 183cm/72kg
Mastering skills: God-level knife skills, best cooking techniques
Positive feedback rating:
There's also a system shop in the bottom right corner where you can exchange positive review points for skills or items.
Last time, Yu Hui glanced at it briefly and saw that it had everything.
There are skill-based items: tarot cards, swimming, massage, bone setting, fortune telling; and also product-based items: bags, SWTH game consoles, 4070ti graphics cards, Xue Zhiqian concert tickets...
There are also items from the Lili Plain that can be exchanged for luxury cars and villas!
After these days of hard work, Yu Hui has accumulated more than 10,000 positive reviews.
These can all be redeemed for goods.
He opened the system store and took a quick look. The required positive review value for the products ranged from several thousand to several million.
These prices are based on the intrinsic value of the goods, and there is no deception of the young or old.
For example, a plush doll only needs a few dozen positive reviews, while a silicone doll, the inflatable kind, can cost anywhere from several thousand to tens of thousands.
Yu Hui browsed through it and was dazzled by the sheer variety, like browsing Pinduoduo.
I want to buy everything, but I don't actually need a lot of it.
After much deliberation, he decided to buy skills-based products, since business was good and he wasn't short of money.
Most skill-based activities have nothing to do with food, so Yu Hui wasn't interested.
After all, his goal is to raise the reputation of his stall and make it bigger and stronger!
He doesn't do business in the water, doesn't need to learn to swim, and certainly doesn't grab tourists to tell fortunes, set bones, or give massages, so these things are completely unnecessary for him.
It's better to focus on improving your cooking skills; in the catering industry, good taste is the key!
After looking for a long time, Yu Hui finally found one that caught his eye—an all-purpose cookbook.
Seeing this, he immediately asked, "System, what is the use of the All-in-One Recipe?"
"Reporting to the host, the all-encompassing recipe book details the eight major cuisines and the recipes for thousands of dishes. The host can use the tutorials to create exquisite dishes."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui's eyes widened.
Good heavens!
No wonder this recipe has 9999 positive reviews, it's amazing!
With a recipe in hand, I have the world at my fingertips!
What kind of ridiculous tasks do we need to complete to get rewards?
The system seemed to have guessed Yu Hui's little thoughts and spoke up:
"Following this recipe will only make delicious dishes, not perfect ones."
"May I ask, what's the difference between 'perfect' and 'delicious'?"
"Simply put, 'perfect' is equivalent to the world's top level, while 'delicious' is equivalent to the level of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed.
System, you're not human!
9999 positive reviews, is this all there is to it?
The difference is too big!
As soon as the words were spoken, that familiar mechanical voice came to my ears.
[Ding! Host's emotional fluctuations detected. A task is now assigned: Manage your short video account well and strive to gain 100,000 followers within a month.]
[Task Rewards: Business acumen, excellent seasoning skills, and comprehension ability.]
Business acumen goes without saying; it's crucial in any industry.
As the old saying goes, good wine needs no bush.
Those are all outdated ideas from the older generation.
In an era of rapid economic development, even the best wine needs marketing. A new shop, no matter how delicious its food, will find it very difficult to succeed without marketing, promotion, and advertising.
Yu Hui deeply understands this point.
Before making videos, even if my food was delicious, the number of customers was only average.
But after the video went viral, many tourists flocked to the site, and sales skyrocketed.
Mastering seasoning means understanding the ingredients and characteristics of each seasoning and being able to use each seasoning appropriately when cooking.
A chef's ability to learn is also crucial; a chef without this ability might spend their entire life working at a street food stall...
