Although Chen Duxiu was stingy with the experience points, Jiang Feng still cooked him two dishes.
Those who had seen Sirs cooking skills naturally didnt think Jiang Fengs dishes were very good.
Throughout the cooking process, the delightful Ding, gained 10 experience points. from the system notifications was occasionally accompanied by a Ding, gained 1 experience point.
Those familiar with Sirs cooking were only lukewarm towards his dishes, and Chen Xiuxiu, who had only ever eaten Mr. Jiang Jiankangs cooking, only reluctantly accepted his culinary skills. The beasts in the dorm were as excited every ti he made rib rice with that crappy little electric cooker as if theyd found girlfriends.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Jiang Feng felt that it was better to cook for people who didnt know anything about it in the future.
You get more experience points that way.
Over the next few days, Jiang Feng cooked all the common types of porridge he could find online.
Sotis he cooked too much and gave it all to Mr. Jiang Jiankang as dinner, which Mr. Jiang Jiankang ate with evident relish.
However, the results were significant. After eating three normal als a day for several days, Chen Xiuxius complexion was no longer as waxy and pale and had partly regained its color.
After finishing relatively simple porridges, Jiang Feng started to tackle the more challenging shrimp porridge.
For this porridge, he didnt need to look for a tutorial online, as Mr. Jiang Jiankang knew how to make it.
Following Mr. Jiang Jiankangs half-hearted remote guidance, the porridge in the pot was beginning to take shape.
Ding, achievent gained: Not Ashad to Ask.
Another achievent?
He opened the attribute panel and saw the achievents section.
Achievents: Diligent Learning (no attribute bonuses)
Not Ashad to Ask (no attribute bonuses)
Jiang Feng:
Thanks to Chen Xiuxiu, Jiang Feng had leveled up to level 3 in the past few days, yet he hadnt unlocked anything new, and the attribute panel had not changed. Jiang Feng even began to suspect that when he completed the side quest, the reward would change from unknown to none.
Given how stingy the ga was, it was capable of such shaless actions.
After the shrimp porridge was done, Jiang Feng tasted it first. The flavor was okay, but just okay.
[A pot of shrimp porridge with incorrect ingredient proportions]
Apart from the obviously problematic tasting ones, all the other porridges read as having incorrect ingredient proportions.
Whats the correct proportion?
As a Jiang Family mber with dreams and aspirations, Jiang Feng was baffled.
Ding, Skill acquired: Cooking Porridge (Beginner).
A skill?
Jiang Feng was surprised, he had just been thinking about how to find the right ingredient proportions, and the ga had generously given him a skill.
Skills: Appraisal (Beginner): You can only gain so basic information
Cooking Porridge (Beginner): You can only grasp so correct ingredient proportions
The ga was indeed interesting, giving whatever you thought of, truly living up to the adage of exploring on ones own.
Looking back at the pot of porridge, Jiang Feng subconsciously felt sothing was not quite right.
The shrimp seed to be too much, a few grams short of salt, and before cooking, he should have added half a fingers worth of water.
Is just a beginner skill this useful?
If the skill he had gained was not Cooking Porridge (Beginner) but (Advanced)
Wouldnt that an hed be making glowing porridge!
Jiang Feng even wanted to pour out this pot of porridge and cook a new one, but considering there wasnt enough ti, he had to give up. He had finally gotten Chen Xiuxiu used to drinking porridge every day at 5:30 pm. He couldnt let all the effort go to waste.
He had to subject Mr. Jiang Jiankang to another al of swill, but tomorrow hed let him taste porridge cooked at a whole new level with Cooking Porridge (Beginner).
The next day, Jiang Feng decided to start with making the preserved egg and lean at porridge he had made in the beginning.
Chop up the preserved eggs, marinate the lean at
The sa steps, but a completely different feeling in the preparation.
It seed as if an invisible pair of hands was helping him asure out each ingredient, and even lighting the fire was more adept than before.
Jiang Feng stayed in the kitchen, not daring to slack off for even a mont.
There were still a dozen minutes before the dish was ready when soone knocked on the door.
Upon opening it, it was Chen Xiuxiu.
Jiang Feng, I Oh, are you cooking preserved egg and pork congee today? Chen Xiuxius words reached her lips but were then swallowed back.
She had just weighed herself and hadnt lost a single pound in the past few days. She initially wanted to tell Jiang Feng not to bother bringing over congee anymore, but the scent of the preserved egg and pork congee at the door caused her to change her mind on the spot.
The congee today seed a bit different.
Just the sll alone made it seem exceptionally delicious.
Did Mr. Jiang cook the congee? Chen Xiuxiu couldnt believe Jiang Feng could be this skilled; after all, she knew his culinary abilitiesor lack thereoffrom growing up with him.
I cooked it, Jiang Feng said proudly. Itll be ready in another ten minutes, how about two bowls?
One bowl, Chen Xiuxiu held her ground.
What did you co to see for? asked Jiang Feng.
I I I ca because of the sll. I thought Mr. Chen was cooking porridge, Chen Xiuxiu did not ntion her intention to stop drinking the congee.
Jiang Feng: ?
Ca because of the sll?
That was quite like Chen Xiuxius style from the old days.
Soon, the congee was ready.
A bowl of steaming hot preserved egg and pork congee was served up, its aroma alone being incredibly tempting.
[A bowl of preserved egg and pork congee with improper fire control]
Jiang Feng:
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling a sowhat smug Jiang Feng to the core, from the epidermis to the dermis to the subcutaneous tissue.
This ga sure had high expectations.
Chen Xiuxiu scooped up a spoonful of congee, blew on it carefully a few tis, and then tasted it.
Ding, you have earned 37 experience points.
Comrade Chen Xiuxiu is such a good comrade!
Jiang Feng couldnt help but sigh.
The generosity of the experience points aside, she ate at a deliberate pace, making a small bowl of congee last for over twenty sips. In contrast, Mr. Jiang Jiankang granted experience points one by one, and when it ca to eating congee, he had the deanor of soone conquering mountains and rivers, powering through half a pot in just a few gulps.
Giving experience points based on the number of mouthfuls, Mr. Jiang Jiankangs approach was nothing short of extravagant waste!
With a bowl of congee in her stomach, Chen Xiuxiu felt a warm sensation.
How about
How about making mushroom chicken congee tomorrow? Jiang Feng asked, recalling that it was the mushroom chicken congee that gave the highest amount of experience points in the past.
Okay. Chen Xiuxiu once again swallowed the words You dont have to go through the trouble of making congee for anymore.
Just one more day of indulgence, she resolved. The day after tomorrow, she definitely wouldnt eat as much.
Chen Xiuxiu made up her mind.
Jiang Feng, oblivious to Chen Xiuxius dilemma, joyfully checked his attribute panel after she went ho and levelled up to level 4.
Level: 4 (0/500)
Remaining experience points: 56
Still no noticeable change.
Jiang Feng went back to the kitchen, covered the pot, set it to keep warm, and left it for Mr. Jiang Jiankang.
Poor Mr. Jiang Jiankang had been eating terrible swill for days; it was about ti to let him enjoy so decent swill.
At least the ratio of ingredients was finally correct, wasnt it?
