Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 8 Night Rain, Shocking Change

Chen Xu believes that in the short term, the rat demon at home can serve as a fixed source of likes for him every day.

But this is only a guarantee, he still needs to open up a new path as soon as possible.

At this moment, the aroma of the meat porridge in the pot wafted into the air, and the child from the east neighbor's house started shouting again.

"Grandma, meat, the smell of meat! It's meat, the scholar's family is eating meat, it smells so good, Shitou wants to eat it!"

The next moment, Old Lady Lai climbed over the wall and looked out, and a familiar voice was heard.

"Scholar, Scholar Chen, did your family eat meat? Oh my! They actually ate meat! Scholar Chen, have you become rich?"

Chen Xu sat by the stove and did not go out. He just raised his voice and replied slowly, "Let Aunt Lai know that a gentleman should avoid greed and anger. Please don't speak nonsense, Aunt Lai.

Otherwise, I would like to ask your second brother Lai, is it okay for a potter to talk nonsense?

Brother Lai Er was the only surviving son of the old lady. As soon as Chen Xu mentioned him, old lady Lai immediately stopped making a fuss.

She retracted her head and stopped trying to beg for porridge.

Little Stone was still crying over the wall, saying that the meat smelled delicious and he wanted to eat it.

Chen Xu sat in the kitchen and shook his head secretly. It was a pity that the upper limit of likes for ordinary mortals was only 5 points per day. No matter how much Xiao Shitou shouted, he could not give him another like.

However, although the small stone cannot add likes, it may not be without other uses.

Chen Xu changed his mind and waited until the crying from the other side of the wall stopped before he walked out of the kitchen with his crutches.

He called out, "Auntie Lai, I have a business deal for you. Do you want to hear it?"

"What?" Old Lady Lai immediately jumped up onto the wall again, poked her head out and said in surprise, "A scholar wants to do business with an old woman? What kind of business is it? Can we make money?"

Chen Xu walked to the wall and asked Mrs. Lai to move her head closer. He whispered, "Sell this meat and vegetable porridge to me. One penny a bowl..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard Old Lady Lai scream in surprise, "So cheap? Even a bowl of porridge costs only one penny!"

Chen Xu simply said, "One cent a bowl, can you sell it?"

"Of course it can be sold. Only a fool wouldn't buy it at one cent a bowl! I want to buy some too."

"In that case, I've calculated that my pot can hold a total of thirty-five bowls of porridge. Aunt Lai, can you help me sell them accurately? I only need to pay you twenty-five cents, and the rest will be your wages."

"What do you think? This is great!" Aunt Lai immediately jumped up, so excited that she wanted to jump directly over the wall into Chen Xu's yard.

Chen Xu hurriedly stopped her and instructed: "When selling porridge, always ask the diners if the porridge is delicious. Only sell it to those who say it is delicious. Otherwise, don't sell it to them."

Chen Xu made this request out of a desire to test it. If he was not present at the scene, and a diner praised the porridge in a place he could not see, would the Food Book of Heaven be able to give any feedback?

If he can, then he will have more room for maneuver.

In response to Chen Xu's additional request, Aunt Lai said, "Oh, scholars have such a bad temper!"

Afterwards, Aunt Lai brought a large wooden barrel from her home to carry the pot of porridge. She pushed a wheelbarrow, took the porridge barrel, a few coarse porcelain bowls, and some small stones, and left in a hurry.

During this time, Chen Xu did not forget to leave a bowl of meat porridge for the rat demon, a bowl of meat porridge for himself, and a bowl of meat porridge for Xiao Shitou.

The next step is to wait for feedback from Mrs. Lai.

Of course, Chen Xu was not idle either. He went to Nanshi Street again. This time he spent 800 Wen and bought a batch of fresh ingredients.

I ran into a familiar vendor on the street and chatted for a while. He said, "Mr. Chen, those pancakes you made this morning were really good. I still think they were delicious now. Do you have any more tomorrow?"

【Like +1】

Even after so many bits and pieces, I still got seven or eight likes.

[Free attribute points: 4]

【Accumulated likes: 200】

[Fireworks value: 20]

Chen Xu felt like he had discovered a new track. It turned out that as long as diners mentioned his food and said it was delicious during subsequent conversations, he could also get likes.

That’s not all. When Chen Xu was buying rice and flour at a grain store, suddenly a large number of like notifications popped up from the Food Cauldron Book.

【Like +1】

+1+1+1……

Looking at the records in the Heavenly Book, it is obvious that this batch of likes came from Mrs. Lai.

Sure enough, Chen Xu's test was correct. As long as the food he made was praised, the Food Cauldron Book would give some feedback, even if it was not in person!
Chen Xu returned with a full load again.

In the afternoon, Aunt Lai had not returned yet, but the number of likes accumulated on Chen Xutian's blackboard had reached [312] points.

It was not until evening that Aunt Lai happily returned home, pushing her wheelbarrow with the little stone. She gave Chen Xu twenty-five copper coins, but she had already taken her own wages.

Although this old lady is stingy and likes to take advantage of others, she really abides by the agreed rules.

Then she smiled with her gap teeth again and asked Chen Xu cheerfully, "Mr. Chen, will you still sell porridge tomorrow?"

Chen Xu said, "It doesn't have to be porridge, but if I have something to sell, I'll definitely ask Aunt Lai for help."

Old Mrs. Lai went back satisfied.

Chen Xu was also satisfied.

At this moment, the data on the Food Cauldron Book once again reached a new high.

【Accumulated likes: 379】

[Free attribute points: 21]

[Fireworks value: 132]

After accumulating some more fireworks points, Chen Xu can purchase the fire control skill!

Of course, he could also choose to spend another 100 fireworks points at this time to enter the fireworks kitchen and practice chopping wood with a knife.

At the same time, I can also use the convenience of the fireworks kitchen to digest the newly acquired free attribute points.

After all, a quarter of an hour in reality can feel like twelve hours in the fireworks kitchen.

Although people may feel tired, hurt and painful in the kitchen, they will not feel hungry.

In this void world, there is no need to worry about the sudden increase in attribute values ​​causing various inconveniences.

Chen Xu thought about it for a moment and immediately decided to go into the fireworks kitchen again.

Ten birds in the bush are not as good as one bird in the hand. He can't wait to learn the fire control skills. Now he has to use up all his resources and improve himself quickly and non-stop!
At night, the spring rain began to fall again.

The hustle and bustle of Nanshi Street had long since sunk into the night along with the drizzle, and the lights in Ping'an Lane were silent.

Occasionally there are snoring and grinding sounds, creating ripples in the night rain.

In the corner of the rain alley, a dark shadow like a worm slid across the wet alley.

In the hut, Chen Xu was lying on the bed taking a nap.

He continued practicing swordplay in the fireworks kitchen for twelve hours. Whenever he felt tired, he would add attribute points to himself.

Currently, his three attributes are as follows:
【Essence: 21+】

[Qi and Blood: 21+]

[Spirit: 21+]

[Free attribute points: 4]

【Chopping Wood Level 1 (79/100)】

When everything was over and he returned to reality, Chen Xu took a long time to adapt to the changes in his body.

It was late at night, and the whole world seemed to be falling asleep. But he lay in bed listening to the sound of rain, with thousands of thoughts running through his mind like flowing light.

There are too many questions for him to think about.

For example, since there are demons and evil spirits in this world, are there also gods and immortals?

If there are gods, at what height are they?

It is said that the small hermits hide in the city, and the great hermits hide in the court. If he wants to use his official position as a cover to pursue the path of cultivation, how should he go about this?
He had heard before that in Yujing Tiandu, there was a great scholar in the previous dynasty who could subdue a dragon with one hand, but he thought it was an exaggerated legend.

But now that I think about it, it's obvious that he has too little experience and has never seen how big the world really is.

How big is the world...?
Chen Xu's mind was in a mess. He thought too much and his brain became a little hazy. He began to feel drowsy and seemed to be about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, he felt like something was wrong.

Yes, it’s the sound of rain!

The sound of the dripping rain disappeared without a trace.

Between heaven and earth, everything is silent.

For a moment, Chen Xu even felt as if he had entered a vacuum world.

In the dark night, a sharp white knife light flashed from the side and suddenly chopped towards Chen Xu's head!
