Food: Starting with Wonton Noodles

Raw oats soaked overnight, sweet corn kernels peeled off, and a box of freshly opened frozen blueberries.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu poured out all the water used to soak the raw oats and poured in a bottle of yogurt.

"Should this be enough?" Zhou Yu thought to himself as he watched the explanation in the video.

"Uncle, is it ready?" A little boy with a watermelon-shaped haircut, about five years old, stood to the side, looking at Zhou Yu expectantly.

The little boy kept standing on tiptoe and craning his neck to watch Zhou Yu's actions.

"Alright, alright, this is a delicacy that your uncle painstakingly prepared. You're lucky to get it for free."

Zhou Yu patted the little boy's watermelon-shaped head: "Do you remember what your uncle said?"

He squatted down, pinched the little boy's cheeks with both hands, and said, "This is a special treat your uncle made especially for you. You absolutely mustn't tell your mother or your sister, or you won't get any."

"Okay, Uncle." The little boy puffed out his cheeks and shook off Zhou Yu's hand that was pinching his cheeks, then jumped up to look at the food on the table.

Seeing that he couldn't reach the table, Zhou Yu picked up the little boy and put him on a chair.

"And your maternal grandparents, and your paternal grandparents, you can't tell them either, understand?"

Zhou Yu said with a serious face, "Eat up! But remember to say it's delicious, otherwise your uncle will never buy you toys or treats again."

Seeing that it was time to eat, the little boy stopped paying attention to Zhou Yu and just nodded vaguely at his watermelon head.

Then, with a silly grin, he picked up a spoon and scooped up the thick, yellowish-white grains from the iron basin.

He ate with a beaming smile, exclaiming, "Delicious!"

......

Zhou Yu's name is Zhou Yu.

I'm 35 years old this year, and I'm retiring in middle age.

Why is it retirement and not unemployment? Zhou Yu's explanation is as follows:

He has been working at an internet company since graduation. According to the internet company's tradition of retiring at age 35, he can only be considered retired, not unemployed.

Initially, Zhou Yu, who had just turned thirty, was transferred to a new business line by the company. After the new business failed to launch, he also received his first compensation payment.

Then, he followed his department head to one new company after another. As a result, these companies also went bankrupt one after another.

Of course, this doesn't mean Zhou Yu was truly a jinx.

Ever since the CEO of a certain unscrupulous food delivery platform said, "This year is the best year of the next ten years," the entire internet industry has been collapsing and laying off employees one after another.

Compared to the countless unemployed internet elites, Zhou Yu, who received compensation for each instance of unemployment, was extremely fortunate.

But the series of failures made Zhou Yu completely give up on finding a job again.

Zhou Yu's original plan was to rest at home for a while, then find a stable small business project to do, and just live a carefree life like that.

But one morning when he woke up, a screen of light appeared in front of him.

[Master Chef System]

"A culinary master system?"

Zhou Yu was very surprised. He had loved food since childhood and had dreamed of becoming a chef.

However, after his father found out, he used the Seven Wolves sword to give Zhou Yu a long and earnest lecture.

Zhou Yu's dream gradually changed to: to get into a good university.

Even after becoming a 996 office worker, Zhou Yu still doesn't forget to explore various delicacies and try to cook some dishes himself.

Even after losing his job, he dreamed of opening a small restaurant.

Unfortunately, his talent was so poor that everyone who had been tricked by him and ate his food wanted to beat him up.

Now, the system has made him a master chef.

that's amazing!

No longer needing to be a corporate slave to toil away, being able to cook delicious food to reward himself and enjoy life made Zhou Yu extremely happy.

However, when Zhou Yu tried to open the system to check, the interface showed that it was not activated.

A line of fluorescent text is displayed on the screen:

[Activation Requirements: Prepare a meal and receive a customer's satisfaction rating.]

Then came chaos and disorder throughout the entire family.

Mr. Zhou: "Is it in such a hurry? I really have no property for you to inherit. If you want it, the house will be changed to your name tomorrow."

Zhou's mother: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have forced you to go on blind dates. Can you please stop punishing me? My stomach really can't take this anymore."

Zhou Xiaomei: "Mom! Your son is trying to poison me!"

Then Zhou Yu's dishes were banned by the entire family.

Having been unable to find any test subjects, Zhou Yu had almost given up hope of activating the system.

But then a turning point came.

One weekend, the whole family went camping and picnicking outdoors.

Because barbecue is too heaty, Zhou Xiaomei bought two bottles of herbal tea for her son and daughter.

Unlike his niece's various resistances, his little nephew with the watermelon-shaped haircut picked up the medicated plaster and drank it down in large gulps, smacking his lips every now and then.

Seeing her brother's shock, Zhou Xiaomei chuckled and said:

"My son is amazing, isn't he? I never have to coax him to take his medicine, and he'll eat anything."

Zhou Yu looked at his nephew with great admiration: "He is indeed remarkable."

You know, even the toughest men can fall to their knees before the ultimate taste of gua sha.

He drinks it like it's fine wine, he's truly amazing!

Here comes the chance to unlock the system!

Then he began to plot to feed his nephew.

......

After successfully unlocking the system, Zhou Yu began to check it out.

[New Player Gift Pack: Wonton Noodles (To be claimed)]

[Number of satisfied customers today: 1]

Today's settlement reward: None (pending settlement)

Zhou Yu clicked to claim the item, and knowledge about wonton noodles naturally came to mind.

This includes how to make noodles, how to wrap wontons, and how to cook the soup base.

However, before Zhou Yu could fully familiarize himself with the place, a young woman rushed out of the inner room with a roar.

"You wicked Zhou Yu, you've ruined my son!"

A little girl with two pigtails followed behind the young woman with a smile.

Zhou Yu was shocked and could only retreat repeatedly to dodge the Nine Yin White Bone Claw that was rushing towards him.

Zhou Xiaomei grabbed her son, exasperated: "How can you eat everything? Don't you know how awful your uncle's cooking is?"

The little boy suddenly became anxious: "It's delicious! Mom, give it to me!"

The little girl glanced at the iron basin that Zhou Xiaomei had removed and saw that it was full of a thick, yellowish-white paste. She made a vomiting face.

Then she said to her younger brother, "Ugh, this is disgusting! You dare eat this? I don't want to play with you anymore."

With that, he ran off.

When the little boy saw his sister run away in disgust, he panicked and grabbed the little girl's clothes to chase after her.

Before long, the two of them were spinning around and playing again.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaomei sheepishly and said guiltily, "Actually, it was just oats..."

Zhou Xiaomei picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of the paste-like substance: "Then you eat it."

Zhou Yu frowned.

Hmm... this looks really doesn't look very appetizing.
