Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 309 The Distress of Not Being Able to Die

When the system's golden text appeared in front of Lin Yuan, he immediately realized that an intimate relationship had been established again.

Does this mean there is only one spot left?

Lin Yuan did not open the panel to check immediately. It would not be too late to check it after he was done.

He smiled and asked, "Is it time for dinner?"

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Gakki-chan remembered why she had entered the house just now. She quickly said, "I have prepared it just now. Lin Yuan-san must be hungry, right? Please follow me."

After saying that, she stood up and took Lin Yuan back to the restaurant on the first floor.

On a white dining table were laid Japanese Wagyu sukiyaki, salmon sashimi, charcoal-grilled snow crab, seaweed sesame rice, and a serving of... pickled cherry blossoms.

The other dishes are standard Japanese cuisine, which can often be found outside.

Lin Yuan had never eaten this pickled cherry blossom before, so he looked at it curiously:

The pink cherry blossom petals, green flower stalks, fine white salt and plum vinegar are like a thin layer of frost covering the petals, making them look even more beautiful.

Lin Yuan picked up a petal with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The faint floral fragrance immediately pulled him into the spring. A little bit of saltiness and a hint of the sweet and sour taste of plums greatly increased his appetite.

It is indeed a great dish to cool down and stimulate appetite in spring and summer.

"It's delicious. Your cooking skills are amazing." Lin Yuan praised.

Gakki-chan was in a good mood after receiving the compliment: "If you like it, Lin Yuan-san, please bring some back when you go back. I will make it for you every cherry blossom season from now on."

"Is this difficult to do? Can you tell me how to do it?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Do you want to cook for yourself? Leave this matter to me." GAKKI replied.

"I like cooking very much. Next time, I will cook Chinese food for you. I'm curious about how to make pickled cherry blossoms. Can you teach me?" Lin Yuan replied.

When at Yenching, Lin Yuan personally cooked a table of dishes to entertain Liu Yufei's teachers and classmates.

He is really interested in cooking, and this pickled cherry blossoms impressed Lin Yuan from its appearance to its taste.

He also wants to let Liu Yufei and Taylor Swift try it when he has the chance.

Hearing Lin Yuan say this, GKKAI nodded and began to introduce:

"First, choose the Guanshan cherry blossoms among the Yaezakura, because the flowers and leaves of this cherry blossom are at the same time and the flowers and leaves are larger. When picking, the petals and stalks need to be picked intact."

"Then wash it once with clean water, then wash it again with salt water to remove any small insects, and then soak it in rice water for a while."

"Then use a paper towel to dry it. You can squeeze it gently, but don't squeeze it too hard to avoid damaging the petals."

"When most of the moisture has been absorbed, place them layer by layer in a fresh-keeping container, but be careful not to overlap the petals."

"Then sprinkle a layer of salt and lay a layer of flowers. Once everything is laid out, place a heavy object like a small paperweight on top and let it sit in the salt for four days."

"After four days, remove the cherry blossom petals and absorb the moisture with a paper towel again. Then hang the petals with a rope to continue drying in the shade. At this time, you can already smell the faint fragrance of the flowers."

"Then we repeat the pickling process, but this time we use plum vinegar instead of sea salt, and still press it with a paperweight and pickle it for four days."

"Finally, dry it in the shade again, store it in a container, and refrigerate it."

"Soak in ice water for 10 minutes before eating, then you can eat it directly."

After listening to GAKKI-chan's story, Lin Yuan sighed, "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. You have to repeat so many steps over and over again. Thank you for your trouble."

Just by listening to GAKKI, Lin Yuan knew how troublesome and time-consuming it was to make pickled cherry blossoms.

Those who are willing to make this for you really love you and are willing to take the trouble to prepare this food.

For many people, their mother is the only one who treats them like this in their life. Thinking of his mother who passed away during the Chinese New Year, Lin Yuan still felt a little sad, even though her face was blurry.

After rebirth he was still an orphan and there was no way to make up for this shortcoming.

But when he thought about the many good girls in this world who were willing to treat him with the same sincerity, he felt that he was happy and had gained a lot.

The two began to eat the food on the table, but it didn't look Japanese at all.

Under normal circumstances, Japanese people observe etiquette when eating, each person has a portion of food, and they concentrate on eating themselves without paying attention to others.

This is what happened when Lin Yuan and GAKKI-chan first met at Matsuya in Shinjuku, they ate their own meals.

But now the two of them no longer have that strangeness, and have also gotten rid of the Japanese sense of distance.

GAKKI skillfully beat a sterilized egg in a small bowl, then put the Wagyu beef from the sukiyaki pot into it and pushed it in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan also broke off a few long legs of the snow crab, opened the shell, and placed them on the plate with GAKKI sauce.

It was a pleasant meal.

After finishing his meal, Lin Yuan returned to his room on the second floor and then calmly opened his system panel.

He hasn't looked at the panel for a long time:

【Name: Lin Yuan】

[Age: 21 years old]

[Strength: 20 (Exceeded the potential limit)]

[Agility: 24]

[Physique: 20 (Has exceeded the potential limit)]

[Assignable attributes: 0]

【Legendary Talent: Life is a Drama】

[Skills: Master-level Swordsmanship, Master-level Parkour, Master-level Knife Throwing, Master-level Boxing and Kicks, Master-level Gunsmanship, Master-level Swordsmanship, Master-level Japanese, Master-level Gymnastics, Master-level Driving, Master-level Aquatic Sports, Master-level Massage]

[Action Scene Danger Level B, Host Basic Success Rate: 80%]

After the third intimate relationship was achieved, Lin Yuan broke through the upper limits of strength and physical fitness.

Now his three major attributes can be increased to 25 points, but unfortunately the available points are 0.

In the past, he always had some points left over for distribution, but he was troubled by the upper limit being locked.

Now the situation is rarely reversed. The upper limit is sufficient, but the allocable points are insufficient.

The main reason is that it is not easy to shoot B-level action scenes nowadays.

The difficulty does not lie in the danger. After all, the basic success rate has reached 80%. With the modification of specific skills, it can definitely exceed 90% or even 95%.

Therefore, Lin Yuan is not worried about the danger of shooting B-level action scenes, but there are not so many opportunities to shoot B-level difficult action scenes.

In "The King of Spy Wars", he did all kinds of stupid things to complete two B-level action scenes.

However, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" doesn't even have a single B-level action scene, so it doesn't get any attribute points.

He wants to perform a B-level action scene, but he must have a suitable plot as the stage. He can't just ignore logic and plot and do whatever he wants, right?
Lin Yuan began to worry: What movie should he make next?

At least I should give myself some opportunities to challenge B-level action scenes!
