Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

"Honey, you have to be good at home by yourself, and eat and sleep on time."

"You're not allowed to drink as much as you did yesterday."

"Also, think of me every day."

"You are not allowed to meet with other women alone."

"No..."

As she was leaving, Xu Li looked at her husband and suddenly felt a million worries.

She suddenly regretted her decision to return to Beijing first.

She must feel very uneasy leaving such a handsome husband alone in Ping County!

but……

on the other hand.

These days, she's been subjected to Jiang Tao's violent driving every night, and she's very satisfied.

But her body was actually not able to take it, so she wanted to take the opportunity to go back to Beijing to rest.

"Okay, okay, I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."

"You don't know me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who messes around?"

Jiang Tao smiled and reached out to touch Xu Li's hair, his eyes filled with sincere and clear emotion.

"Let's get things sorted out here quickly and get back to Beijing soon. Love you~ Waaah~"

Xu Li naturally trusted Jiang Tao completely.

She tiptoed, wanting to give him a light kiss on the lips as a farewell kiss.

But Jiang Tao grabbed her waist and gave her a long kiss that really tested her lung capacity.

At 2:45 p.m., Jia Guilin drove his Mercedes-Benz GLS with Xu Li's family and Jiao Jingtong towards Beijing.

After watching the Mercedes-Benz GLS disappear at the entrance of the residential area, Jiang Tao opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and drove straight towards the entrance of the residential area.

At 3 p.m. sharp, Jiang Tao drove to the entrance of Qiao Shaguo, the restaurant where he and Yuan Mengqi had dinner yesterday.

In the catering industry, 3 pm is usually the closing time, and the area is empty with no customers dining.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see several employees busy in the kitchen.

They're probably preparing for the evening rush hour.

"Excuse me, sir, we are closed for business."

A woman who was cleaning saw Jiang Tao enter the room, straightened up and looked at him apologetically.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Sister, I'm not here to eat. Is your manager or store manager here?"

"Is there something you need from our store manager?"

The older sister looked at Jiang Tao with a puzzled expression and asked a question.

“I ate at your restaurant yesterday and I felt that the dishes cooked in the clay pot tasted pretty good, so I would like to buy a few clay pots from you to use myself.”

Jiang Tao didn't beat around the bush with his older sister and directly stated his purpose.

Clay pots aren't exactly a scarce resource; they're easy to get if you pay the right amount.

"You want to buy a clay pot? You don't need to find our manager, just find Xiao Lin."

"Xiao Lin, there's a customer here who wants to buy a clay pot."

As she spoke, the older sister turned and shouted towards the kitchen.

It seems that Jiang Tao is not the only one who comes to the store to buy casserole; there must be a precedent.

As soon as the cleaning lady finished speaking, a slender woman came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands.

"Hello sir, the casserole dishes we sell here are for our own use only and are not for sale to the public."

"However, if you become a member of our store, we can give you two for free."

"Members can also enjoy a 9% discount when dining."

"Furthermore, the points earned from spending can also be redeemed for cash."

Lin Ranran stopped about 1.5 meters away from Jiang Tao.

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao is 1.82 meters tall and has handsome features.

In addition, his extremely confident demeanor is quite attractive to women.

The saying "A man is in his prime at thirty" perfectly describes a successful, composed, and confident man like Jiang Tao.

Both are thirty years old, but if you're working in a factory, day and night in two shifts...

Delivering packages and food from dawn till dusk is like working like an ox or a horse.

"You get it for free when you sign up for a membership? Sure! Then sign me up for a membership."

Upon hearing Lin Ranran's words, Jiang Tao immediately agreed to become a member.

Although we don't yet know what attributes that special casserole will gain after activation.

But after all, it's a special item that Brother Tongzi has identified.

You can get it just by becoming a member, so it's a great deal.

"Sir, we have three tiers. You can become a basic member of our store by recharging 500 yuan. You can enjoy a 10% discount on your purchases and receive a free casserole dish of the same model as ours."

"For 2000 yuan, you can become a mid-level member of our store, enjoy a 20% discount on your purchases, and receive three of our store's same type of casserole dishes as a gift."

"Recharge 5000 yuan and you can become a premium member of our store, enjoying a 7% discount on your purchases, plus 10 free casserole dishes of the same style as those in our store. Which tier would you like to join, sir?"

After listening to Lin Ranran's introduction of the three price ranges, Jiang Tao readily agreed, "Give me the 5000 one."

The 5000 yuan top-up allows you to make purchases at the store in the future.

It's like getting a casserole with special attributes without spending a single penny, which is a huge win for Jiang Tao.

"Okay, sir! Please come this way, I'll take care of it for you!"

Lin Ranran was overjoyed and excited when she heard that Jiang Tao had directly applied for a premium membership at the store.

The cleaning lady, who was listening to the two talking while holding a broom, also looked at Jiang Tao with a surprised expression.

At Qiao Shaguo, we only see a handful of people signing up for premium memberships throughout the year, and Jiang Tao is the first one this year!
The membership application process is very simple.

Jiang Tao simply gave Lin Ranran his name and phone number, and she processed his membership without giving him a physical membership card.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your great support of our Qiao Casserole. Please wait here for a moment while I go and get you 10 casseroles."

After helping Jiang Tao complete the membership registration, Lin Ranran called out to him and then turned to go to the restaurant's storage room to get him some unused new clay pots.

Jiang Tao quickly said, "Miss, may I pick one from your kitchen?"

Lin Ranran explained, "Mr. Lin, the kitchen kitchen is all used; I'll go get you some brand new ones."

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Some things get better the more you use them. Can you get me nine new clay pots and I'll pick one old one?"

"Of course, of course! In view of your great support for our Qiao Casserole, the old one will be a bonus for you."

Lin Ranran was very patient and sincere with the VIP members of her own restaurant.

"Thanks, I'll go pick one that looks good to me."

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he walked towards the area in the back kitchen where the clay pots were piled up.

Lin Ranran didn't think much of it and turned around to go to the storeroom to get Jiang Tao a new casserole.

This small casserole restaurant is only fifty or sixty square meters in size, less than 100 square meters.

In such a small space, the kitchen staff who were preparing dinner could hear Jiang Tao and Lin Ranran's conversation clearly.

Seeing Jiang Tao enter the kitchen, they went about their business as if it were none of their concern. "You're the one!"

Among a pile of washed clay pots, one that gleams with a dark golden light still stands out.

Jiang Tao saw it as soon as he entered the door.

But in order to obtain it discreetly, he still took a roundabout way and became a VIP member of the store.

"Master, could you please get this casserole for me?"

Jiang Tao turned to an employee who was preparing meals and asked him for help.

The master craftsman who was asked for help by Jiang Tao stepped forward without saying a word and took out the clay pot that was pressed under several other clay pots.

"Thanks, sir. Here's a pack of cigarettes for you."

Jiang Tao casually pulled out a packet of unopened Da Tian Ye from his pocket and handed it to the helper.

"Just a small favor..."

"Here you go, thanks."

Without saying a word, Jiang Tao shoved the cigarette into the chef's hand, then took the casserole and walked out of the kitchen.

I waited in the store for less than five minutes.

Lin Ranran, who had previously served Jiang Tao, and the cleaning lady each returned to the store carrying a shopping bag.

The two shopping bags contained a total of 10 brand-new casserole dishes.

Jiang Tao didn't come here for these new clay pots today; they were just a cover for him to get special clay pots.

Lin Ranran and the cleaning lady carried the casserole out of the store, and when they saw Jiang Tao use his car key to open the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, they were surprised again.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a rare sight in a small county like Pingxian!

"No wonder Mr. Jiang was so quick to become a VIP member of our store, turns out he's a tycoon who drives a Mercedes-Benz!"

The moment Lin Ranran saw the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Jiang Tao gained even more points in her heart!
Although the food at Qiao Shaguo is quite good, it's still priced at around 20 yuan per person.

Lin Ranran doesn't usually have much contact with wealthy people.

It's quite rare to see someone like Jiang Tao driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class to eat at Qiao Shaguo!

Moreover, he is so rich, young, handsome, and has an excellent temperament.

Even in the entire Ping County, they are extremely rare.

I can't even imagine how happy I would be to find a boyfriend like that!

"Thank you both, goodbye."

Jiang Tao was naturally unaware that Lin Ranran had already begun to fantasize about living with him.

After smiling and waving goodbye to the two, he drove away directly towards the Xicheng Huafu residential area.

At 3:30 p.m., Jiang Tao drove back to the Xicheng Huafu residential area.

He left 10 brand-new clay pots in the trunk, taking only the special one upstairs.

He is now very familiar with the process of activating special items.

After returning home, I locked the bedroom door from the inside, drew the curtains in the living room, and successfully bound and activated the device following the pre-set procedure!
【Item Name】: Delicious Casserole
[Attribute 1]: Deliciousness +3 (Food cooked in a casserole dish with Deliciousness +3 is more delicious.)
[Attribute 2]: Splitting (Can split into 10 delicious +3 casseroles per day.)
"Deliciousness +3, Split!"

Upon seeing the powerful attributes of the Delicious Casserole after it was activated, Jiang Tao's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard with excitement!
The last "Delicious" item he obtained was the [Delicious Pickled Vegetable Jar].

The quality of the delicious eight-treasure pickled vegetables made in the [Delicious Pickled Vegetable Jar] is evident to all.

The results of this delicious casserole must be pretty good too!

Jiang Tao immediately felt that the 5000 yuan he spent today was well worth it!
What's even more remarkable is that this [Delicious Casserole] has dual attributes.

“1天分裂10口美味+3的砂锅，1个月就是300口砂锅。”

"This quantity is enough to open a fairly large casserole restaurant!"

Upon seeing the two attributes of [Delicious Casserole], many thoughts instantly flooded Jiang Tao's mind.

The hot pot restaurant he just visited doesn't have any special items with overpowered attributes like the "Delicious Hot Pot," yet it's still incredibly successful.

By opening your own shop using the [Delicious Casserole] which has attribute bonuses, you're bound to achieve complete dominance!

In the catering industry, the "deliciousness +3" attribute is still very powerful!
"Let's see how it goes!"

Jiang Tao looked back at the beautiful casserole dish in his hand, which had just had its attributes activated, and decided to test its effects first.

Do it when you think of it.

Jiang Tao immediately went out to a farmers' market not far from the community and bought a large rooster for more than 200 yuan, asking the owner to help him prepare it.

Afterwards, he bought some stewing ingredients at the market.

Add things like angelica, bay leaves, and cardamom, and so on.

Although he had never worked as a prostitute, there were many tutorial videos online that he could learn on the spot.

At 5 p.m., after a big shopping spree, Jiang Tao returned to his father-in-law's house.

After Xu Li and the others returned to Beijing, Jiang Tao was left alone at home, and the house suddenly became quiet and lonely.

Having gotten used to the lively atmosphere of the past, it feels a bit strange at first.

Prepare and thoroughly wash all ingredients in the kitchen.

Following the order shown in the video tutorial, Jiang Tao placed the ingredients into the clay pot and started stewing!
Meanwhile, he also cooked a pot of the same ingredients and seasonings in a regular wok on a nearby stove as a reference.

Glug, glug, glug~
In less than five minutes, both portions of stewed chicken were cooked at the same time, and the aroma of the ingredients began to fill the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, the rich aroma of chicken began to waft out of the kitchen through the cracks in the window.

"Who's stewing chicken? It smells so good!"

"Wow! This smells amazing! It's like a genuine free-range chicken caught on the mountain!"

"I haven't smelled such delicious meat aroma in a long time; it reminds me of the smell from my childhood."

"Grandma, I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

"Mom~ I want to eat chicken. How about we have chicken for dinner tonight?"

Splash, splash, splash~
The windows of Xu Li's apartment, both upstairs and downstairs, were open, and the neighbors were overwhelmed by the rich aroma of chicken.

"Gudong~"

In the kitchen, Jiang Tao smelled the aroma wafting from the clay pot and swallowed hard.

Fragrant, so fragrant!
He himself hadn't smelled such a rich aroma of meat in a long time!
Even the roasted rooster at the Magnolia Hotel, which costs over 600 yuan a serving, can't compare to this pot of stewed rooster in front of me!

After simmering over low heat for about an hour, until all the ingredients were fully flavored, Jiang Tao turned off the heat.

He used a pair of metal tongs to remove the casserole from the gas stove and placed it on the dining table, which was propped up with a small wooden board.

Pour the chicken pieces from the other wok into a small white porcelain bowl and place it next to the casserole dish.

Then, he scooped a large bowl of rice from the steamer in the kitchen.

Sitting down at the dining table, Jiang Tao began his dinner.

I first used chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in my mouth.

The aroma was irresistible, and the meat was tender and juicy. Jiang Tao's stewed chicken, made on the spot after learning how to make it, was incredibly delicious!

It smells so good, so incredibly good!

After finishing the chicken in the casserole, Jiang Tao picked up another piece of chicken stewed in a regular wok from a white porcelain bowl.

The same chicken, the same ingredients, the same cooking method, and the same cooking time.

Chicken stewed in a regular wok is nowhere near as good as chicken stewed in a clay pot!
[Delicious Casserole] A crushing victory! (End of Chapter)
