Chapter 356: Chapter 355: Questionnaire Survey (Extra for the adorable Alliance Hierarch who wants a bite!)
After about an hour, Hu Li and a few colleagues returned from shopping outside.
Taifeng Building was located in a bustling business district, surrounded by many malls and comrcial streets, greatly enriching the entertainnt life of Taifeng’s employees during their break ti between the lunch and evening shifts, but also adding to the burden on their wallets.
“Hu Li, the young boss is looking for you,” said Lin Ling, who was sitting at the entrance, as soon as she saw Hu Li.
“The young boss is looking for ? Where is he?” Hu Li asked.
“Seems like he’s on the second floor,” Lin Ling replied.
No sooner had Hu Li gone upstairs than the female employees who had co with her surrounded Lin Ling and asked with gossip-laden faces, “Lin Ling, what’s up with Hu Li? Why did the young boss suddenly want to see her?”
“Did she do sothing wrong? Or did she make a mistake that got a custor to complain about her?”
“Could it be that she’s going to be fired? The few who were let go during the last settlent, I heard Manager Fan had talked to each of them individually beforehand.”
“Fired? Getting fired before the end-of-month settlent, that’s really losing face, and she probably won’t even get her bonus,” said an average-looking waitress, not hiding her Schadenfreude.
Lin Ling: …
“I don’t know, he might just ask her sothing trivial,” Lin Ling finished speaking and went to tidy up and leave.
On the other side, Jiang Feng was studying the attribute panel in the n’s restroom on the second floor.
With so many things to do and being busy all the ti, he hadn’t had much ti to go to Li Mansion to cook pig food for Da Hua to earn experience, and Da Hua’s als were basically entirely prepared by Chen Suhua. As a result, Da Hua hadn’t eaten stir-fried dishes for a long ti. Chen Suhua’s pig food was very traditional. It was always cooked in the simple manner she had used when she was young before she moved to the city with Professor Li, just mixing pigweed with rice bran or sweet potatoes in one pot. It was a slurry that was neither appealing nor flavorful, but it slled good, which was very consistent with everyone’s usual impression of pig food.
As for how she managed to buy pigweed within the second ring road, Jiang Feng didn’t know.
Jiang Feng looked at the attribute panel, and a sense of crisis welled up within him, not for any particular reason other than he was close to leveling up.
The recent practice had been extensive, and all the dishes he made were sold as discounted specials. What couldn’t be sold beca staff als, leading to a rapid increase in experience even though Jiang Feng wasn’t deliberately grinding for experience.
The numbers on the attribute panel had now changed to:
Na: Jiang Feng
Level: 24 (205489/240k)
Knife Skills (Master Level): Your knifework has reached the level of top chefs. (Proficiency: 419853/1 million)
Fire Control (Master Level): Your fire control has reached the level of top chefs. (Proficiency: 58742/1 million)
Seasoning (Master Level): Your seasoning has reached the level of top chefs. (Proficiency: 35214/1 million)
Lies (Advanced): Your lies can convince most people. (Proficiency: 67785/100k)
Food Testing (Interdiate): You can distinguish ingredients, and that’s it. (Non-upgradable)
…
Ahem, I’ve been telling quite a few tales lately, after all, we’re all adults now, living in the adult world.
The stark contrast to the soaring proficiency in various basic attributes, under the special training of the two old masters’ sea cucumber dishes, was the completely empty task panel. It had been a long ti since Jiang Feng had seen such a vacant task panel, with only two main tasks, one of which couldn’t be completed because the level wasn’t high enough to unlock the disciple recruitnt feature, resembling a mascot main task. The other main task was just one step away from completion.
Life without side quests was lonely as snow.
Jiang Feng took one last look at the experience column, which was 35k away from leveling up, and silently closed the attribute panel.
35k experience could be grinded out in just two days of hard work.
There was no ga in this world that couldn’t be solved with hard grinding.
After all, he was once a hardcore gar.
Once I reach the 35,000 experience points before completing the main quest, it ans that the ga will enter another long round of updates, the short ones lasting a few days, and the long ones several months. During the update, unless the ga glitches as it did before, all skills and functions will be unusable. I won’t be able to use the Appraisal Skill to determine the specific problems with the dishes, view the tutorial videos in the recipe column, or settle the newly discovered characters and completed quests until the update is over.
In another month, it will be the season when oranges and crabs co to market, and Jiang Feng had wanted to take this opportunity to practice cooking crab stuffed oranges.
Not just crab stuffed oranges, he also wanted to be the first to know what the rewards for the current main quest were. This main quest was probably the most difficult task he had faced so far, and Jiang Feng had been looking forward to knowing what the specific rewards would be for a long ti.
Jiang Feng now had the urge to go around asking friends and family, “Which do you think is the number one restaurant in the world?”
With so many mbers of the Jiang Family, he couldn’t believe he wouldn’t get Taifeng Building as an answer from at least one of them.
Preoccupied, Jiang Feng left the bathroom.
Hu Li had been wandering around the second floor and had looked into each private room without finding Jiang Feng. Just as she was about to go downstairs and ask Lin Ling if she had rembered incorrectly, she ran into Jiang Feng at the staircase.
“Boss, I heard from Lin Ling that you were looking for ,” Hu Li called out to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng suddenly realized and exclaid, “So her na is Hu Li!” He only had a vague mory of Hu Li’s face, and no recollection of her na at all. It seed that her skills weren’t particularly outstanding nor were they particularly poor, otherwise, he wouldn’t have no mory of her na.
“Yes, I wanted to ask you sothing. Do you rember the custor who ordered the all-at wontons yesterday?” Jiang Feng asked.
“Yesterday’s custor?” Hu Li thought for a mont, “The table I was in charge of yesterday did have a custor who ordered all-at wontons. He ca alone and seed to be a student of fine arts; I saw him carrying a drawing board with him.”
“Student of fine arts?” Jiang Feng asked further.
“I think so, or possibly just an amateur enthusiast who planned to sketch after eating. I rember he brought a drawing board,” Hu Li replied.
Jiang Feng thought for a mont and then ca up with an idea.
“Could I trouble you with sothing?”
“Boss, just tell ,” she said.
“I’m going to make a survey form when I get back ho today and print it out. At noon, please distribute these forms to the custors and ask them to fill them out, offering a free juice as a reward. Make sure you give it to the custors who order the all-at wontons and ensure they fill it out themselves. Please mark their forms and bring them to tomorrow noon, okay?” Jiang Feng proposed.
Hu Li imdiately agreed. Helping out was an easy way to get noticed by the boss, so why not?
“Of course, that’s fine.”
“Thanks so much.”
With her task in hand, Hu Li went straight downstairs. Jiang Feng originally wanted to go downstairs and find a spot to catch up on the latest episodes of the annual hit drama that had evolved from a love triangle to a square, but he reconsidered, noting the peculiar nature of the drama’s the, and instead chose an empty private room on the second floor to watch the show alone.
As soon as Hu Li reached the ground floor, her colleagues, with whom she had been shopping, surrounded her with questions.
“Li Li, what did the young boss want with you?”
“Are you okay? Did the young boss pick on you?”
“I’m fine, the young boss asked to help with a survey,” Hu Li replied.
“A survey? Why did he ask you and not us?” a waitress with average looks asked.
Hu Li glanced at her, “Maybe because my section is all two-seater tables. The boss probably wants to survey those sitting at two-seater tables, I guess. I’m going to the changing room to get sothing.”
With that, Hu Li walked away.
“Psh, what’s so great about that? It’s just a survey; anyone can do it.”
“Exactly, why the pride? It’s not like she got a promotion or a raise.”
Turning the corner, Hu Li looked back at the group of three behind her and curled her lips into a smile.
“Psh.”
