Chapter 4 Chapter 4...
Not long after, the Gu family went to work or school, and the house became quiet again.
While no one was around, Gu Ruyi quickly learned the system's inheritance.
【bite! The teaching begins! 】
As soon as the system finished speaking, a thick book suddenly appeared in Gu Ruyi's mind. After opening the book, she could see that each page was a dish. After clicking a page, she could see all the dosage standards for the dish, etc. There were also images of the imperial chef who was wearing ancient costume but whose face could not be seen clearly, teaching in person. It was similar to learning to cook by watching videos decades later.
This made Gu Ruyi a little disappointed. She thought that she would know everything all at once, like a sudden enlightenment, but she didn't expect that she still had to learn it by herself.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Gu Ruyi felt that she was too greedy.
The imperial chef is the best among all chefs. In the past, only the royal family could enjoy their services. Others would probably not be able to get any guidance from such a chef no matter how hard they tried. But I can learn all the skills of the chef without paying any price. This is already lucky enough.
Besides, what you learn by yourself is the real skill. If you only rely on the system, what will you do if the system disappears one day?
After thinking it through, Gu Ruyi cheered up and started to learn from the imperial chef seriously.
The menu includes all the imperial chef’s specialties. The first dish is braised pork, the second is pagoda meat, and the third is mutton stew.
None of the three dishes is simple, but fortunately Gu Ruyi can practice them in her mind so as not to waste too much ingredients.
After looking through the first three dishes, Gu Ruyi felt that they were a bit difficult and continued to flip through the pages, intending to find a simple one with cheap ingredients to practice on.
But when Gu Ruyi wanted to turn to the fourth page, the system suddenly spoke.
[Ding, insufficient authority, do you want to spend 5 sign-in points to unlock it? 】
Gu Ruyi: What? We actually have to sign in?
Moreover, three dishes require five check-in points. The recipes in her mind are at least dozens of pages long. How many check-in points will this cost?
Is this system too weird?
Perhaps because it heard Gu Ruyi's complaints, the system made another sound.
【bite! Successfully learn a dish from the Imperial Chef and you will be rewarded with 10 sign-in points. 】
This reward is not bad, but when Gu Ruyi saw the 0% progress shown on the first page, he felt a little discouraged.
It turns out that it’s not that easy to learn the royal chef’s skills. She’ll have a lot of hard work ahead of her!
But in order to sign in, Gu Ruyi also has to work hard.
In the following time, Gu Ruyi focused on braised pork, and successfully increased the progress of braised pork to 50% in one night. Learning how to braise pork is just around the corner.
Although he studied all night, in his mind it was like a dream, so Gu Ruyi was in a good mental state the next day.
There is no peace in the morning in the slum, with voices and various noises of ping-pong being heard all the time.
Gu Ruyi, who wanted to stay in bed for a while, couldn't fall asleep because of the noise, so she simply got up, took out the cosmetics she had signed in at Modern and started applying them on her face.
Make the skin darker and eyebrows thicker...
Just like that, half an hour later, Gu Ruyi changed from a fair and delicate beauty into a beauty with wheat-colored skin and sharp eyes.
They are all beauties, but Gu Ruyi looks very fierce after putting on makeup, and you can tell at first glance that she is not someone you want to mess with.
Moreover, Gu Ruyi after putting on makeup is completely different from her before and after makeup. It is estimated that if Gu Ruyi stands in front of her adoptive mother now, her adoptive mother will not recognize her.
But this is exactly the effect Gu Ruyi wanted. She was going to do something big today, and it would be safer if no one recognized her.
"Bang, bang, bang," just after she finished putting on her makeup, Gu's mother knocked on the shabby door.
"Ruyi, remember to go find Li Qiunong today. She must have missed you since you came back so long ago."
Gu Ruyi put down her makeup brush, laughed, and replied loudly: "You are really the worm in my adoptive mother's stomach. You know everything she is thinking."
Mother Gu's face turned red, and she immediately became angry and said, "You little bitch, I'm doing this for your own good. You just have to listen to me, okay?"
"I want two eggs, one boiled in water and one in egg drop soup," Gu Ruyi took the opportunity to make a request. After all, her character is that of a troublemaker.
"you……"
Gu's mother's veins bulged, but when she thought of Gu Ruyi's terrible temper, she swallowed her anger back into her stomach, and with a gloomy face, she went to get two eggs to boil.
While cooking, Mother Gu cursed, "You want to eat eggs, you lose money? Why don't I eat you to death? Just wait for me. I will make you vomit back a hundred times or a thousand times what you ate today."
After the eggs were ready, Mother Gu stood at the door with a twisted face and shouted, "The eggs are ready, eat them quickly and get back to work. I'm going to work."
"Got it." Gu Ruyi stopped at the right time and did not continue to challenge Gu's mother's bottom line.
After Gu's mother left, Gu Ruyi came out with her face made up.
A boiled egg and a bowl of egg drop soup were obviously not enough, so Gu Ruyi took a bag of bread from the space.
The bread is part of the snack gift package. In addition to bread, the gift package also contains more than 20 kinds of snacks such as spicy strips, candies, jellies, dried fruits, etc. Even if Gu Ruyi eats the snacks as meals every day, it will be enough for half a month.
But Gu Ruyi still cherishes them very much. After all, these snacks are not available these days. She has to eat less and save them, so that she can satisfy her cravings in the future.
After eating and drinking, Gu Ruyi changed into a white women's shirt and put on black leather shoes. He listened carefully to the noise outside and when he found that there was no one outside, he swaggered out.
After walking out of the compound, Gu Ruyi met Li Xiangcao and Wang Guixiang who were coming back from washing clothes. Gu Ruyi, who had a strong mental quality, acted as if she didn't know the two of them at all and left.
After she walked away, Wang Guixiang scratched her head and said, "Huh? When did such a person come to our place?"
Li Xiangcao: "I'm afraid she's here to look for someone, but this girl looks so... fierce, not easy to mess with, and she looks quite rich. Who in our courtyard has such a rich relative?"
"Go ask."
“Go, go, go!”
The two like-minded people immediately split up and acted separately, determined to keep all the movements in the compound under control.
Unfortunately, no one knew who Gu Ruyi was, and without getting any results, Wang Guixiang and Li Xiangcao were like badger that hadn't gotten any melon, and they couldn't even enjoy their meal that day.
On this side, Gu Ruyi went out with a purpose and headed straight east.
There has been a saying since ancient times that the east of the city is rich and the west is noble, while the south is poor and the north is humble. However, now that all the slightly wealthy people have been defeated, this saying is no longer valid.
But Dongcheng still has more rich people, and Gu Ruyi, who has read the novel, also knows that Dongcheng also has the largest pigeon market in the city.
The pigeon market is a black market, and the items there don’t require tickets, but the prices are much higher.
Gu Ruyi's purpose of coming here was very simple, which was to sell the TV he signed for.
Color TVs were scarce in this era, but Gu Ruyi had them in abundance. Most of the system's sign-in locations allowed for repeated sign-ins. Although the items required for sign-in were different each time, as long as there was a sign-in point, the color TV would be returned sooner or later.
So Gu Ruyi prepared to exchange the color TV for money without hesitation. As for the reason, Gu Ruyi was already old enough to go to the countryside this year. If she didn't find a job quickly, she would have to go to the countryside to farm.
Gu Ruyi's grandmother's family in her previous life was from the countryside, and she had done a lot of farm work. She knew better than anyone how hard life in the countryside was, and that without money, there was no poetry and distant places.
So going to the countryside is impossible, Gu Ruyi must stay in the city.
But it’s not easy to get a job in the city nowadays. Eighty to ninety percent of the jobs rely on connections or money.
In the past, Gu Ruyi had strong connections, so it was easy for her to find a job. However... now that she has offended the real daughter, she can only choose the latter!
The Pigeon Market in East City is located in the largest forest in East City. It is well connected and there are people watching from all directions. You can run away at any time with just a shout. It is very safe.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are people in Dongcheng Pigeon City who are in a high position.
However, because it is safe enough, not everyone can enter the Pigeon Market in Dongcheng. Before entering, you have to check your assets first. Only those who bring valuables or enough money can enter.
If you want to sell your own vegetables or wild vegetables, they won’t let you in.
Moreover, the Dongcheng Pigeon Market is only open three times a month, once every ten days, and the opening hours are uncertain each time. Generally, only those who go there frequently know the details.
The reason why Gu Ruyi knew this was because she read it in the novel.
If she missed this time, Gu Ruyi would not know when the next time would be, so she planned to do it in one go today and directly take out the TV and watch tickets.

Under a towering tree that required several people to hug, Wang Erhu had dark eyes and kept yawning.
His partner Li Dabing saw Wang Erhu's kidney-deficiency face and joked: "Erhu, did you go to see the young widow last night? That young woman is quite powerful! She almost drained you dry."
Wang Erhu's eyes widened instantly, and he defended himself with a red face, "Li Dadan, don't talk nonsense, I'm not married yet! Don't ruin my reputation."
Are you kidding? He wants to keep his virginity for his future wife. Any man can sleep in that young widow's bed, which is dirtier than a chicken coop. Wouldn't it be defiling his clean body if he sleeps with her? Wang Erhu won't do that.
"Haha!" Li Dabing was amused by Wang Erhu's reaction of "I am a chaste man". "Erhu, it turns out you are still a virgin! You are old and still haven't had sex. Aren't you ashamed? Otherwise, I will treat you tonight and let you know what paradise is."
"Go away, I don't want it. I want my wife, not any other woman."
"You're not even happy sleeping with a woman, you idiot."
Wang Erhu turned his face away and pretended not to hear what Li Dadan said.
snort! Brother Qi said that the women outside are dirty and smelly, only his wife is fragrant and soft, and only a clean man is worthy of his wife.
So Li Dabing had no intention of letting him make a mistake.
Gu Ruyi arrived at this time, and the sharp-eyed Wang Erhu saw Gu Ruyi at a glance - the color TV in her arms.
A glance lasts a lifetime...
In just a few seconds, Wang Erhu fell into despair.
My heart was beating faster, I was at a loss, my hands and feet were sweating from nervousness, and it was the only thing in my eyes and mind. These were the reactions Brother Qi said he had when he met his wife.
But Brother Qi didn't tell him that his wife is a color TV...
