Chapter 252: Taotie Looking for Food
"System, dishes that have reached 5% to get the activation function, and dishes that have not yet reached 0% to get the purchase function can get a prompt. Then, for dishes that have passed 6% and can be purchased from the recipe, can we still see the prompt when they reach 0% activation?" Zhao Xiaojing asked, her mind racing.
system:……
"Can I system?" After waiting for a while without getting a response, Zhao Xiaojing asked again.
[…Added for you.] The system's mechanical voice rarely had some gnashing of teeth.
Zhao Xiaojing was satisfied. She smiled as she saw a green button next to the red buy button, then swiped from top to bottom to check the prompts one by one.
After reading through them all, Zhao Xiaojing picked out a few dishes on the list that had high levels but for which the hints provided were of little use, and bought the cookbooks directly.
Anyway, these are cheap and don’t cost much coins, and she has done it countless times, so she has reached a bottleneck. Without new ideas, it will be difficult for her to break through by practicing on her own.
As for the remaining ones with a small percentage and those that gave her a flash of inspiration when she saw the prompts, she would leave them all alone and slowly figure them out through her own practice. If she still couldn't figure it out, she would spend money to make up for it.
There were six recipes that met the requirements, and Zhao Xiaojing bought them all for a total of 1 coins. She then took out her notebook to write down tips for other dishes.
After memorizing everything, she looked through the system again. Seeing that there was nothing new, Zhao Xiaojing returned to the virtual space again and used the experience points she had accumulated to level up twice.
The virtual space suddenly turned into a large practice field of 1 square meters, which could store six scenes at the same time.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaojing's experience value bar also dropped from more than 80,000 to 200, returning to the pre-liberation era overnight.
The next morning, Zhao Xiaojing picked up the goods from the farmers' market. After walking around the seafood area which she rarely went to, she made a detour to the largest chain fresh food supermarket in Jiangcheng.
As soon as she entered the supermarket, she went straight to the spectacular and huge fresh food area. Zhao Xiaojing was extremely excited as she shuttled back and forth among the many frozen imported meats and expensive seafood areas.
Original cut Angus S-grade imported beef, fresh beef original meat whole cut marbled steak, original cut steak South American imported grass-fed S-grade oyster beef, pure blood black Angus beef cubes, beef shreds, original beef tendon...
"System, project this row of shelves!"
Ning Province beach sheep fresh lamb chops, Tianhai Tibetan original cut lamb chops, grassland hand-caught freshly killed lamb legs, Xin Province lamb original cut skinless raw lamb belly, Australian lamb leg meat imported boneless grass-fed lamb meat...
"System, there is another one!"
King crab, small green dragon, lobster, Boston lobster, salmon, Arctic scallop, black tiger shrimp, grouper...
"System, and these water tanks!"
……
From the time she entered the farmers' market to the current fresh food supermarket, Zhao Xiaojing walked around like a chicken with its blood pumped up, constantly searching for ingredients. As long as she had never cooked before, she put all of them into her new 1-square-meter virtual space that can be spliced and can store six splicing scenes.
In the past, there was only a projection function, but the scenes could not be spliced so it was useless to project it into the virtual space. Even though Zhao Xiaojing was envious of the many fresh ingredients, there was nothing she could do.
But now that she can cut, Zhao Xiaojing immediately turned into a glutton looking for ingredients, only regretting that the variety of these ingredients was not rich enough.
After wandering around for two hours, the five scenes in the virtual space were all spliced together and filled with food. Zhao Xiaojing then drove back happily.
Just as she was walking past the intersection of People's Park and about to turn to the street where the store was, she saw Wang Jiandang's car coming from the opposite direction. He also happened to see her and was rolling down the window.
Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly rolled down the car window, "Uncle Wang, you just got back!"
"Xiao Zhao, it's just right. Wait for me and pull over!" Wang Jiandang pointed to the side of the road and shouted to Zhao Xiaojing.
This area was right below the overpass, near the alley where Zhao Xiaojing had rented a kitchen before. Apart from the residents, there were not many cars passing by, and a bunch of cars were parked randomly on the side of the road. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaojing found a spot in front that would not get in the way and parked the car.
"Xiao Zhao, what a coincidence, I was just about to go to your store!" Wang Jiandang also found a good place to stop nearby, and ran over as soon as he got out of the car, carrying two big bags.
"Your Aunt Wang had relatives coming over from her hometown at noon, and they insisted on eating at home. My client happened to send me lamb chops from his hometown, the beach lamb from Ning Province, and I said I would just use them to entertain the relatives. But I thought that your Aunt Chen and I were a bit wasteful, so I thought of you and asked for your help."
Zhao Xiaojing nodded, took the bag, opened it, and looked at the ingredients through the plastic bag.
The bag contained a whole rack of lamb ribs, some winter bamboo shoots, a bunch of mushrooms, a bag of spinach, and some white radishes. "Okay, these vegetables are really fresh. Did Uncle Wang grow them in his own vegetable garden?"
"No! These winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms were sent by a client of mine. He picked them from his own farm. The other ones were picked from our own vegetable garden.
There are four of us at noon. You can cook three dishes, and your aunt and I will cook three more dishes at home. After all, we can eat at home, and we can just take them to the restaurant for dinner." Wang Jiandang said with a wry smile, "Otherwise, with our cooking skills, others will probably laugh at us.
If you need these, use them. If not, I'll just take them from you and I'll come get them when the time comes."
“Three dishes, then you can’t finish half of this lamb chop, I’ll chop it up and pack it for you when the time comes.
How about making a pot? That way it will be hot when you take it back." Zhao Xiaojing said while weighing the lamb chops.
"Okay! The pot is good. When the time comes, add the side dishes. Your aunt and I will wash the vegetables at home. You don't have to pack the other things. Just take them and eat them. It's no use to trouble you again." Wang Jiandang said with a smile.
"What's the trouble? This is my job. You guys always give me too much money. I feel bad." Zhao Xiaojing waved her hands. Although Wang Jiandang and ** Ping would occasionally ask her to help cook, they would not only give her vegetables and fruits, but also money. Every time she refused, she would scan the code and give it secretly. Zhao Xiaojing had no way to deal with them.
"Uncle Wang, should we make this lamb chop hotpot spicy or not? For Ningsheng beach lamb, it might be more comfortable to stew it in clear soup. Making it spicy is a bit of a waste." Zhao Xiaojing suggested.
"Then let's not have spicy food! There's a pregnant woman here, she probably can't eat anything too spicy, so it's just right for her to drink something light." Wang Jiandang waved his hand.
"Then let's make a clear-boiled mutton soup, a braised pork with winter bamboo shoots, and a braised chicken with mushrooms. When the time comes, you can just cook the pot and add the side dishes. I'll leave some juice for the other two, and you can pour it into the pot to collect the juice, and eat it while it's still hot."
"Okay! Thank you so much. Your Aunt Chen and I don't have to cook anymore." Wang Jiandang happily agreed when he heard it.
