New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 61 Madam
The favorability at different nodes seems to have different meanings at different stages.

For example, Bu Yadi once said that 49 is a critical node, perhaps representing the transition from "good intentions" to "love".

For example, if he sees that most people’s favorability towards him is around 10, he can infer that the average person’s favorability towards strangers is also 10.

In addition, he was sure that today was the first time he met Sister Ai Er.

So, what kind of person would have an initial favorability of -35 towards a stranger?

"Hello, I'm El Meimei, a senior alchemist, nice to meet you."

Unlike Aierlili, this Aiermeimei did not show any dissatisfaction on her face even though she saw Lili lying on the ground. Instead, she approached Lei Ye and posed the kind of aristocratic etiquette that Lei Ye had seen in the royal city, bowing slightly and gracefully.

It was the first time that Lei Ye met someone who had such a low favorable impression of him, but with such an impeccable smile. He felt a little uncomfortable, but still returned the greeting.

"Hello, I'm Lei Ye, the chef."

It's strange to say, because before, he wanted to relieve himself of his job as a chef.

And now, in a sense, he can call himself a hero, or he can call himself a demon king. These two identities allow him to live comfortably no matter where he is, but now he identifies more with his identity as a chef.

At least he really can cook.

".cook?"

Ai Er Meimei's attitude obviously changed. She took a half step back and looked at Lei Ye with narrowed eyes.

Lei Ye's old 2D dressing taste made her frown.

When she spoke again, her voice was not as gentle.

"May I ask where you bought my good-for-nothing sister? As far as I know, the cooks in Hillius probably don't have such high salaries, so they probably don't have enough money to buy a slave suffering from erythema."

"It's the black market," Lei Ye said casually, "Also, I'm a chef. I hope you don't call me chef. I don't like it."

"Oh, sorry, Mr. Chef." She smiled and nodded in apology.

This Ai Er sister is obviously a first-class beauty no matter how you look at her, but it is really uncomfortable to communicate with her.

Never mind, it doesn't matter. He came here to learn technology, so he just has to endure it if he meets some idiot.

The worst that can happen is that after you learn it, you can just shoot it all, you will have to go back to the previous level anyway.

There were footsteps again.

Lei Ye raised his eyes and looked at the woman standing at the door.

She was a middle-aged woman with a temperament of both 'gentleness' and 'majesty', and had the same hair color as Ai Erjiejie. She stood there in a cheongsam, looking at Ai Erjiejie with a complicated gaze.

This must be Jiejie’s mother, and also the head of the Aier family.

Lei Ye walked a few steps closer, kept a certain distance at the signal of the maid in the long skirt, and then bowed slightly.

"Hello, I'm Lei Ye."

"Elmama," the mature and intellectual woman nodded and gave her name. "Although I am no longer in glory, I was once a noble. I can see that you are a well-educated person. Thank you for taking care of my daughter during this time."

These words made Lei Ye feel a little better about this family. He uttered a word and waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

Lili, who had been squatting on the side with her thighs clamped together, suddenly stood up and complained loudly with an unwilling look on her face.

"Mom, I just saw the slave tattoo on my sister's inner thigh. That guy actually dared to treat my sister as a slave. It's too much! Also, he just attacked me, and it was a sneak attack! He has no martial ethics at all! Let the maids beat him up!"

Let the maid beat me, is this true or not?

Lei Ye immediately used his magic eyes to retrieve the values ​​of the maids in the room.

Well, a maid is just a maid, not some cool combat maid, and the stats she possesses are just about the average person’s.

If a fight really breaks out, Lei Ye will just shock them in the crotch, and they won't be able to bear it.

After looking around, Lei Ye felt relieved. If they dared to make a move, Lei Ye would immediately give them a try and curl their hair.

Oh, this magic eye is so convenient.

"No. No matter what, Jiejie is now Mr. Lei Ye's slave. According to the laws of the Frey Empire, she is no longer my daughter, but his private property. The Aier family must strictly abide by the laws of the Frey Empire." Mama shook her head gently and turned to look at Lei Ye with a complicated expression. "So, Mr. Lei Ye, can you sell this slave to me? Since you are here, it means you have this intention, right? If you want to discuss the price, it is negotiable."

Madam is quite reasonable.

But the lady seemed to be too reasonable. It was normal for her to be more emotional since her daughter had become a slave in the hands of others.

Oh, that's what I mean, that's right.

After reacting, Lei Ye turned his head and looked at Elili, who was so angry that her teeth were itching. Instead, he didn't hate her so much anymore.

"I can transfer the slavery rights of Eljiejie to you."

Hearing this, Elmama’s eyes lit up.

"But I don't want money," Lei Ye paused, "I want to learn alchemy technology. I need to make a potion that can be effective against high-level demons and even demon kings. If you can let me learn this technology, I will return your daughter to you."

Lei Ye initially thought that it would be fine if he could buy it. He could come directly to buy the potion after going back to the previous game. However, he gave up after thinking about the remote location of Aier's house and the fact that he didn't have so much time to waste on the road.

He used what a devil does best - trading.

Seeing that Elmama looked confused for a moment, Lei Ye thought she was hesitating, so he added.

"Madam, you don't want your daughter to be a slave to a lolita like me, right? Anyway, there is a replay (whispering), even if she has pink fever, I will still fuck her."

Everyone was shocked when these words were spoken, and Lei Ye could smell the shock in the air.

They probably believed it, but if they didn't, Lei Ye wouldn't mind jumping onto the tea table and then taking off his pants to persuade them. He was really capable of doing this. Ever since he ran naked on the streets of the Demon King's City, his moral integrity seemed to have broken through the bottom line in one breath, and his soul could no longer be restrained.

After waiting for a long time, finally, Elmama spoke slowly.

"So you're here to become my disciple. The Aier family has been devoted to making potions that can be effective against high-level demons for generations. You learned this from Jiejie, right? It's not a secret, so it's not important, but such potions have never been successful. The resistance of high-level demons is too high, and no potion can break through that resistance to have an effect, let alone the king of the demons. If you just want to learn alchemy, I can teach you myself, but I really can't meet your requirements."

What do you mean? Is the potion that can be effective against high-level demons a rare thing?

It seems so. He thought so a long time ago.

But
He had really seen a super potion that even the Demon King could not resist.

Lei Ye walked into the room he was assigned to.

Every decoration looks quite classic and high-end.

There is a king-size bed, big enough to sleep six people, with an exquisite screen standing next to it.

What a nice room.

In short, after some negotiations, Elmama allowed Lei Ye to stay here for a month. During this period, she would teach alchemy techniques without reservation. If the results satisfied Lei Ye, she would give her the slave seal sovereignty of Eljiejie.

Lei Ye agreed.

This room is for Lei Ye to live in. Judging from the conditions of the room, the other party may not have a very bad impression of him?

Or maybe he just wanted his daughter to live more comfortably.

That's such a big bed.
Just as I was wondering how to sleep tonight, several maids knocked on the door, entered the room, walked to the big bed, and worked together to pull it into several small beds.

At the same time, Madam Mama appeared at the door and waved to Lei Ye.

Lei Ye realized that she wanted to talk to him alone, so he stood up and followed her from the door to a long corridor.

"Except for my daughters, I haven't taught students for many years. Although I just promised you, I first need to know whether you have the talent to become an alchemist. Otherwise, no matter how good your teaching is, it will be meaningless."

She said this while walking in front. That's good, at least she's honest. With these words, Lei Ye began to feel that the other party would not fool him.

But when it comes to talent, Lei Ye has no confidence.

However, he may not have talent, but he does have time. If he cannot learn it in one month, he will use one year. If he cannot learn it in one year, he will learn it in eighty years. This devil's body gives him a long enough life. He can study this path to perfection and then choose to return.

Alchemy studio.

At the end of the corridor is a place that is somewhat similar to the studio in the basement of the Rayno family. All the equipment there is here, and also some equipment that is not there.

"This is the alchemy table. If you don't consider the quality of the potion, you don't need these other auxiliary props. Just this is enough to make the potion. This is the recipe. Strictly follow the requirements above to mix the ingredients and boil them, and you can make the potion." Elmama handed Lei Ye a piece of parchment and gently tapped the small metal table beside her. "Now, you can start your first potion refining."

So suddenly?

Lei Ye thought that he would have to learn some basic knowledge first, for example, he would be given the "Alchemy Technology Required Course 1" and asked to copy it a hundred times, and then the formal class would begin. He didn't expect that he would be asked to start working right away.

No. This is actually better teaching.

So Lei Ye didn't complain or grumble. He followed the instructions on the recipe and started taking out the corresponding materials from the storage box without a magic lock.

A storage box is a storage magic item with a much larger capacity than a storage bag. Because it is not easy to carry, it is often used for storage in wealthy families. There are quite a lot of things in it, and the storage box is almost full.

It's a mess, with almost all kinds of materials.

There are several storage boxes like this placed on one side.

If this was playing Skyrim V, Lei Ye would probably like Aier's House very much. He touched the storage boxes one by one, and finally found all the necessary materials from the massive amount of materials.

"So fast. So amazing."

As a result, I was praised as soon as I finished doing this.

"It's hard for even an expert to recognize the various ingredients on the recipe, not to mention that the storage box is so large, with all kinds of ingredients that look similar, but you can easily distinguish them."

Madam Mama looked incredulous, and then revealed an expression as if she had seen Baocai.

Of course I can recognize it, almost all of it is food.

Do you think that my great chef Xiao Leiye has been traveling all over the country for nothing over the years? When you are away from home, of course you have to know what you can eat and what you cannot eat.

Moreover, even if there are things in there that I don’t recognize, my wife can still help me see them.

Not only can it distinguish types, but even more detailed data can be marked, such as density.

Demon Eye, that's pretty powerful, right?

But at this time, silence might be the best way to show off. In Almama's bright vision, Lei Ye deftly used the tools on the side to grind these things into powder.

Before this, Lei Ye had hardly ever touched the alchemy table.

But after really getting started, you'll find that the things on it are easy to understand. That thing looks like "I am a prop used to crush materials", and you can just operate it directly.

No wonder Elmama let him do it directly. In fact, standing in front of the alchemy table, you will find that it is just a process of mixing the powder in water and boiling it, just like making coffee. It is not difficult at all.

Lei Ye soon realized where the difficulty lay. The recipe stated that a specific amount of each ingredient was required.

However, there was no suitable equipment nearby, only a small beam balance. If it was a balance, it would be fine, but Lei Ye didn't know how to use it, or he couldn't use it accurately.

"Hey," Lei Ye raised a finger, "I almost forgot I'm an engineer. Let me show you some of Lei Ye's wonderful tools."

From his storage bag, Lei Ye took out a small cup with scales marked on the body of the cup with tiny red lines.

It's packed with a lot of salt.

This was a small prop that Lei Ye made after he discovered that he had been cheated by a dishonest merchant when he bought salt for the first time in this world. From then on, he no longer worried about people selling him things with less weight.

However, it is a bit imprecise to use it to prepare potions. After hesitating for a while, Lei Ye did not pour out the salt. Instead, he put it back into the storage bag and took out his crude magic prop making tools from it.

Earth magic, fire magic.

Thanks to the fact that the melting point of the sand in this world is not that high, making glass is not that difficult, but it requires a relatively rare small stone similar to dolomite.

Ten minutes later, Lei Ye rubbed out the world's first test tube with his hands.

"What is this?" Madam Mama was very confused.

She seemed to have always been trying hard to maintain a certain aristocratic dignity and elegance, but now curiosity drove her to abandon that attitude and move closer to observe what was in Lei Ye's hand.

A faint medicinal fragrance.

The hair brushing against his face made Lei Ye subconsciously turn his head away, otherwise he might hit her face. At such a close distance, he saw the moist luster on the face with fine wrinkles.

Madam, you too are still charming.

"This is a test tube, used in chemistry class," Lei Ye said casually, "Ma'am, you're a little too close."

"Oh, sorry," she took a step back in panic, but still insisted on asking, "What is chemistry? I don't really understand it. How can I get the exact weight using only this test tube?"

The question from this curious lady was so advanced that Lei Ye didn't know how to explain it.

"Density x volume."

He said this casually, then took out a piece of roasted green mushroom from his storage bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

This thing is used to refresh the mind and helps to concentrate on doing some delicate things.

“This is it again”

While chewing, Lei Ye looked back at Madam Mama.

The Mystic Eye is activated, and the favorability value is displayed as 15.

So he handed her a few grilled mushrooms and signaled that she could try them.

Standing up, Lei Ye stood beside the alchemy table, ready to start his work. A moment later, he heard a sound of clothes bursting behind him, mixed with a shocking hum.

Lei Ye was used to such small scenes. If Buyadi's shadow hadn't flashed past his eyes, he would have secretly turned back to admire his wife's disheveled appearance, and engraved it in the illusion crystal to appreciate again and again later.

Someone suddenly stood beside him and appreciated it for him.

"The size is average, but the shape is good. Besides, she has no socks now. Based on my observation, I think Miss Jiejie must have inherited the shape of her feet from this lady."

The Holy Sword said so.

After the so-called 'mission was over', she relaxed a lot from her initial machine-like cold state, and even joked like this.

She turned her head to glance at Lei Ye, "I found a portrait of a noble in the lady's bedroom. The man in the portrait is very young. Could it be her husband who died many years ago? This lonely widow gives me a feeling that she is easy to deal with. Do you need my help?"

Lei Ye operated the instrument in his hand without even raising his head.

After a moment, the Holy Sword suddenly revealed a malicious smile and disappeared without saying a word.

Behind him, Lei Ye heard Madam Mama's sudden low voice asking.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lei Ye, how old are you this year? Are you married?"

?

Lei Ye was stunned.

He frowned and realized that things were not that simple.
