The daily tasks of the academy also have time limits, and the time limit for cooking is [1 hour].
The "one meal" stipulated by the system means that no matter what she cooks, it should be enough for everyone in the academy to have a small bowl of food.
Two hours is definitely more than enough to prepare a meal like this.
But Chen Cui was speechless for a long time and said that it was not right!
[I am a certified headmaster. Which headmaster is responsible for personally preparing meals for students? 】
The system suppressed a laugh and said: [The principal is responsible for the organization and management of the academy, and is also responsible for teaching and educating students. If the host is not satisfied with the direction of the task, can I help him adjust it? 】
Shen Cui immediately said: [Forget it. 】
With her level of education, do we expect her to read a book to two children?
Mu Erpang is better off, as she has only learned a few superficial things, and now she can still barely cope with it. Asking her to teach Wei Xi would definitely be misleading and a waste of Wei Xi's time.
The tasks of the academy should be daily. It's okay to do it once or twice, but if it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid it will delay a lot of things.
[Well, I was busy for half the morning today, and I didn’t feel as uncomfortable as before. My cooking skills…]
Shen Cui opened her cooking panel and took a look.
Very good, still a level 0 chef, 2/10 proficiency.
Come to think of it, compared to the long-term main line of sending Mu Erpang to take the exam for the top scholar, the current progress bar of the total task has only reached one-third at most.
There was no way the system would allow her to directly take back everything that belonged to her.
It's just an ordinary meal. As long as there are no negative effects caused by the system rating, it will at most make everyone suffer a little, but it won't be as bad as the ultimate failure mentioned above, causing everyone to vomit.
[It is recommended that the host use system output to make things. The things made can be superimposed on the academy's gains. Moreover, the host is so wealthy now, he should have upgraded the first two branches long ago. Moreover, I can give the host a tip. If you use system output to complete the academy mission, you will get extra rewards. If you use real ingredients, there will be no rewards, and you will only maintain the academy's gains. This needs to be discovered by the host after experimentation. In order to prevent the host from suffering the loss of not getting the reward, I told the host in advance. Do you understand my intention? 】
Chen Cui said clearly, [I understand how much you want to cheat my shopping points with the side quests! 】
But what the system said was not wrong. Since such tasks would be common in the future, and only by using system outputs could she get extra rewards, and she had no shortage of shopping points now, it was time to upgrade her cooking skills.
It’s not a big deal to have poor cooking skills all the time!
However, this day is the first day of the completion of the academy. Although there is no grand celebration, it is also a day of special commemorative significance.
Even if it was Shen Cui, she would not be able to let the two children suffer at this time!
[Let’s not think about those things today. One less extra reward means one less extra reward. 】
After Shen Cui finished explaining to the system, she left the house again.
Because the kitchen in the old house was dilapidated, and Lao Buyu had to take care of his two children and study hard, Zheng and others were all busy in the kitchen in the new house at this time.
Usually, Chen is the most pampered one. She would not do the housework if she can avoid it, let alone come to work for her sister-in-law.
Zheng had not originally planned to have her come today, but she said that everyone was not at home and she was free anyway, so she decided to come along to join in the fun.
After entering the kitchen, Zheng assigned tasks to everyone and everyone got busy.
While Chen was doing her work, she came closer to Zheng.
Zheng was the one in charge of cooking. She was scrubbing the pot. When she saw Chen coming, she deliberately increased her scrubbing speed, making the large iron pot make a swish sound.
The water from washing the pot overflowed and splashed onto Chen's apron, but this did not stop her from sticking to him.
Zheng simply put down the things in his hand and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart!"
Chen was not annoyed at all, but smiled and said, "Are you tired from working? Why don't you take a rest too?"
Zheng glanced at her sideways. Chen had been her daughter-in-law for half her life, so she naturally understood that her mother-in-law was impatient.
Chen stopped beating around the bush and said simply, "Mother, this is it. Cuihua's elder brother said earlier that Cuihua was setting up a college here, but I thought she was talking nonsense. How can people like us open a college just like that? But after taking a look today, although it's a bit shabby, it has teachers and students, so it's pretty decent."
Zheng's men kept talking, showing no intention of responding.
Chen continued with a smile, "Since it is a college, it will definitely recruit people in the future. Aren't our children not much younger than Erpang?"
After hearing this, Zheng had nothing to understand. Chen wanted his own child to attend the class!
"I'm not the only one who thinks so. The second family also has children!" Chen immediately brought up her sister-in-law Li.
Although Chen didn't want to admit it, among the two daughters-in-law, Li from the second house was indeed more prestigious.
Sure enough, when Li was mentioned, Zheng did not start scolding her directly in a bad tone, but looked at her daughter-in-law.
Although Li was gentle in nature, she was not stupid. When she saw her sister-in-law's behavior just now, she guessed that she might want to ask her mother-in-law something, so she pricked up her ears to listen.
When she heard herself being mentioned, Li immediately shook her head to indicate that she didn't!
Well, actually she was a little selfish, thinking that Erpang, who was not very smart before, seemed to have become a different person after reading for a while. If your own children also read with Master Lao, maybe they will become smarter and have a better future, right?
But she just thought so. All the big and small matters in the family were decided by Zheng. If Zheng didn't speak up, how could she, as the daughter-in-law, have the chance to think?
As soon as Zheng took a look at Li, she knew that Chen was using Li as a scapegoat.
"You want your son to study here too? Sure, an academy is a place for teaching and educating people." Zheng said calmly without losing her temper.
Chen's face lit up with joy, and then she heard Zheng continue, "The second young master of the Wei family not only pays for food and lodging expenses every month, but also pays for his salary. If you have the heart to do so, why don't you follow his example and pay as well?"
Chen Cui did not hide the money paid by the Wei family from her mother, and as for the others, there was naturally no need to disclose it.
Therefore, Chen did not know how much silver Wei Xi paid every month, but seeing that everything Wei Xi ate and wore were all fine products, she thought that he would definitely not be stingy, and their eldest wife could not afford it.
Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "We are all family, why are you still talking about money?"
"What's wrong with family? Even brothers have to settle accounts! Didn't your mother come to my house and have a quarrel with me just now because of Erpang's school expenses? What's the matter? You looked down on Cuihua and Erpang before, and now that they are living a good life, you want to get some benefits from them, right?"
"We are all family, mother, don't talk about whether we are getting benefits or not. If we have two more children who are successful, our life will be better in the future."
Better than shit! Zheng is not such a fool, and will not be fooled by Chen.
If one child in a family can be successful, it would be a great honor for the family. Do we really expect everyone to be lucky?
Besides, she knows the situation of her own children. Except for Mu Erpang who seems to have become a different person, the other children in the family just know how to play around.
Like today, the Shen family brought all the children over, installed the plaque, and set off firecrackers. During the short time before dinner, Mu Erpang spent time reading with the teacher.
On the other hand, the other children in the family are still playing with mud at the door!
Lao Buyu is alone, and now he is taking care of two children who are studying there, which is relatively easy. If we bring these naughty monkeys along, not only will they fail to learn well, but they are more likely to arouse Mu Erpang's playfulness.
Besides, the Wei family is no pushover. They let Wei Xi study here without worry because, although the environment here is poor, it is quiet and peaceful, and Wei Xi himself is willing to stay here. If they really had so many children crammed here, it would be noisy all day long like the village school. Wei Xi wouldn't have to ask for it himself, the Wei family would have been the first to come and take him away!
Zheng glared at her and threw the brush into the pot. "Don't you always say that I favor Erpang? I've thought it through. I'll treat everyone equally from now on! Erpang's studies didn't cost me much money, nor did I have to worry about him. The same goes for the other children in the family. If you have the ability, you can find a way!"
Just at this opportunity, Chen Cui came to the kitchen.
Zheng was very angry at the time, and she also knew that Chen was cunning and had many plans. Since she couldn't get anything done on her side, she thought she would go and hit her daughter's wooden clock.
Although Zheng loved her daughter, she had to admit that her daughter's brain... wasn't very bright. She was afraid that Chen would really take some small profits and coax her away.
Therefore, Zheng was particularly unfriendly to Shen Cui, and asked with her hands on her waist: "What are you doing here?"
Shen Cui shrank her neck when she yelled at her, and said awkwardly: "It's useless to let you guys do all the work while I'm sitting there lazing around. I just wanted to come and help."
"Just take a break when I tell you to! You ignored my words, didn't you? You are all so opinionated. Don't call me mom. Just start your own business as soon as possible!" Although Zheng was scolding Chen Cui, her eyes were on her eldest daughter-in-law Chen.
It's obviously a veiled attack!
Chen Cui was not stupid, so she naturally saw this. She did not want to get involved in the dispute between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, so while Zheng's anger did not affect her, she quickly slipped out of the kitchen.
[Look, host, you haven't even entered the kitchen, but you've been kicked out. How can you cook without using a system? The host can choose carefully. The mall not only sells food ingredients, but also various kitchen utensils...even stoves! 】
The male god's voice was still the same male god's voice, but Chen Cui inexplicably heard a hint of gloating in it.
Chen Cui looked at the countdown for the task, then looked at her own kitchen. When she heard Zheng still banging and fighting inside, she said, "You can't bring in the things at home, but we can use the things at the old house. I'll go see what's missing over there, and spend some money to buy some ingredients directly from the villagers." Don’t even think about shopping. If I say I won’t spend any money today, then I won’t spend any! 】
At this time in the old house, Lao Buyu was reading with Mu Erpang and Wei Xi.
Today is a special day. Not to mention Mu Erpang, the youngest, Lao Buyu and Wei Xi are all immersed in the joyful and lively atmosphere.
But strangely enough, ever since they entered the old house and sat down at the desk, they quickly calmed down.
Mu Erpang was practicing calligraphy while Wei Xi was looking at a book with Lao Buyu's annotations. Lao Buyu would give some pointers on Mu Erpang's calligraphy and then explain a few words to Wei Xi in a gentle voice without any distraction at all.
Until Lao Buyu was thirsty and went to pour tea on the table by the window, his frightened voice broke the silence of the room -
"Mrs. Mu, what are you doing in the kitchen?!"
