"Ding... Congratulations, host, your space has been upgraded to level 4. You are rewarded with 200,000 gold coins and the ability to grow vegetables."
Lin Qing had just finished collecting the rice that evening when she heard the system notification.
Have you finally unlocked vegetable planting? Can you finally eat the vegetables grown in your space?
You know, things grown in the space have a faint spiritual energy, and they taste much better than those outside. Ever since she ate the rice grown in the space, she didn't want to eat any other kind of rice anymore. Now she can finally eat vegetables grown in the space too, which is wonderful.
Lin Qing couldn't wait to open the seed shop. Seeing the wide variety of vegetable seeds in the shop, Lin Qing hesitated for a long time before choosing eggplant, green beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Lin Qing quickly bought the four kinds of seeds and planted them in the field.
"I can eat the vegetables I grew myself tomorrow," Lin Qing thought as she looked at the tender sprouts in the ground.
Then Lin Qing spent another 1 million gold coins to upgrade the house from level 2 to level 4, turning the small apartment into a two-story villa.
Lin Qing wandered around the villa again and again. She ran upstairs and downstairs, furnishing all the rooms. Her cheeks were flushed with happiness as she looked at her gradually upgraded home, feeling extremely satisfied.
Then Lin Qing upgraded the kitchen's cooking machine to level four. The level four cooking machine added cold dish and dessert functions, and the storage capacity was increased to 500.
Then Lin Qing spent another 100 points to buy a bunch of recipes from the system and input them into the cooking machine.
Lin Qing's cooking machine has now become incredibly versatile. Chinese cuisine is rich and diverse, with the "Eight Great Cuisines" being the most representative, including Shandong, Sichuan, Cantonese, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui cuisines, all of which Lin Qing has incorporated into it.
Shandong cuisine is characterized by its delicate fragrance, tender texture, and mellow flavor.
Sichuan cuisine is characterized by its numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors.
Cantonese cuisine is characterized by its light yet flavorful, fresh yet refined, tender yet not raw, and oily yet not greasy qualities.
Jiangsu cuisine comprises four styles: Nanjing, Xuzhou, Huaiyang, and Southern Jiangsu. It is the second largest cuisine in the imperial court. It is characterized by its light flavors, meticulous use of ingredients, and emphasis on color matching and presentation.
Fujian cuisine is known for its aroma and flavor, and it excels in using red yeast rice for seasoning and soup making, as well as sweet and sour dishes. Representative dishes include Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Lychee Pork, and Fujian Stuffed Tofu.
Zhejiang cuisine, rich in Jiangnan characteristics, mainly consists of four regional styles: Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Wenzhou. It uses a wide variety of ingredients, emphasizing freshness and aroma; representative dishes include West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce, Longjing Shrimp, and Dongpo Pork.
Hunan cuisine, also known as Xiang cuisine, is characterized by its meticulous preparation, wide range of ingredients, diverse flavors, emphasis on affordability, rich oil and color, and frequent use of chili peppers as a main ingredient. The flavors emphasize freshness, sourness, spiciness, tenderness, and superior braising techniques.
Anhui cuisine uses local specialties as its main ingredients, sourcing them locally. Its characteristics include meticulous attention to cooking time and temperature, highlighting the original flavor of the ingredients, emphasizing nutritional value, and preserving the original taste of the food.
Besides the eight major cuisines, there are other influential sub-cuisines, such as Huaiyang cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine, Liaoning cuisine, Shanghai cuisine, Xuzhou-Haikou cuisine, Jiangxi cuisine, Hubei cuisine, Beijing cuisine, Tianjin cuisine, Hebei cuisine, Henan cuisine, Hakka cuisine, and Chongqing cuisine. These cuisines all have their own local characteristics and unique flavors, and Lin Qing has included them in the cooking machine.
In addition to these delicious dishes, there are also various Chinese staple foods, such as noodles, dumplings, steamed buns, mantou, huajuan, as well as various types of pancakes, wontons, rice noodles, and mala tang.
Now, various cold dishes and desserts such as cakes, ice cream, pudding, and double-skin milk have been added.
These desserts are Gu Nanxun's favorites. Lin Qing herself didn't expect that Gu Nanxun would like desserts. Whenever she thought of Gu Nanxun's little hobby, Lin Qing couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Lin Qing looked at the various recipes in the cooking machine with satisfaction, imagining that after the reform, she would definitely make a fortune by opening her own restaurant.
With the addition of recipes, the kitchen cabinet space became insufficient, so Lin Qing expanded the kitchen cabinets by 200 compartments. The gold coins that Lin Qing had painstakingly saved up over the past few days were once again squandered.
However, Lin Qing didn't care. She didn't lack points anymore. Her shop window was filled with supplies purchased by He Rui every day. According to He Rui, he opened a general store in the apocalypse and used Lin Qing's shop as his source of goods.
Thinking of this, Lin Qing upgraded the shop window to level four, where a level four shop window can display a total of 40 kinds of products.
Besides basic items like rice, flour, and cooking oil, Lin Qing mainly stocked pre-cooked dishes. She also added some new cold dishes and desserts that she had added that day. The rest were items customized by He Rui. He Rui's orders were particularly high now, providing Lin Qing with a lot of points every day.
I have no idea where He Rui got so many points!
"Brother Nanxun, do we need to open up other dimensions?"
Lin Qing checked her points; she already had over 1 million points, enough to open a few more lower-level planes.
"No need to activate it for now. Our goods are selling quite well. We originally activated lower-level planes to quickly earn points, but now we don't lack buyers, so activating too many lower-level planes is useless. Let's activate them when we need them later! For now, let's save up points to activate higher-level planes!"
After listening to Lin Qing's words, Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and said that he could only put a limited number of products on the shelves at the moment, and opening more dimensions would not increase the quantity much. He should save the points for emergencies.
"Hmm, Brother Nanxun makes a good point. Then we'll hold off on activating it for now!"
Lin Qing agreed, saying that ever since Gu Nanxun could use the space, she had become less and less inclined to use her brain; it was so nice to win without lifting a finger.
"Hey Nanxun, why don't you try your luck in the lottery!"
Suddenly, Lin Qing had a flash of inspiration and suggested to Gu Nanxun.
"Host, have you forgotten that you still have a month's worth of credits left to use?"
Before Gu Nanxun could answer, the system suddenly heard its voice.
"Monthly sign-in? Is there anything different about that one?"
Seeing that the system specifically mentioned monthly sign-ups, Lin Qing asked curiously, "Is there something different about this monthly sign-up?" She had previously thought that monthly sign-ups were a bit more advanced than daily sign-ups, but now it seemed that she was wrong.
"Monthly sign-in allows you to sign in the things the host desires most. If the host signs in, you're sure to get something good."
"Brother Nanxun, you should try it."
Upon hearing the system's explanation, Lin Qing eagerly asked Gu Nanxun, "I wonder what Brother Nanxun will sign in? What is Brother Nanxun's most desired item?"
"good!"
"System, check-in!"
"Congratulations on successfully checking in! Would you like to claim your check-in gift?"
"receive!"
"Congratulations, Master, on obtaining a Rewinding Pill."
