Food: Starting with Wonton Noodles

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Yu bid farewell to Liang Ding.

After leaving Shunyi Restaurant, Zhou Yu confessed to Lin Wenhui, "Actually, when I was cooking at your house before, I hadn't really learned how to cook yet. But later I studied a lot of recipes and consulted many people before I gradually got the hang of it and learned some cooking skills."

Although Zhou Yu knew that Lin Wenhui's previous words were also a joke, he still tried his best to explain to Lin Wenhui.

Lin Wenhui also expressed his understanding.

After all, he couldn't think of any possibility that Zhou Yu had deliberately deceived him; he could only attribute it to Zhou Yu being a genius who had suddenly become skilled in cooking.

After taking Linlin to He Ji Bamboo Noodle Restaurant to get noodles, Zhou Yu finally headed home.

When Zhou Yu returned home, it was nearly 3 p.m., but Cao Xuezhen was still taking a nap.

He first gestured for Linlin to be quiet and sit still before secretly starting to make the yogurt oatmeal again.

This time, without his niece complaining, Zhou Yu's "mischief" was very successful.

Looking at the yellowish-white viscous substance, Zhou Yu felt a rare pang of pity.

It seems that when I don't use the system's cooking skills, my dishes are really terrible.

"I wonder if my cooking skills will become really good after the system rewards me with the basic chef skills? At least as good as Ah Sheng's, right?" Zhou Yu thought with some anticipation.

He tiptoed to the balcony with Linlin's hand before whispering, "Linlin, look, your uncle risked his life to make you this yogurt oatmeal. You know how to make it, right?"

Linlin nodded vigorously: "I know, Uncle. I can't tell Mom and my sister, and I can't tell Grandpa and Grandma either."

"And your father, your grandparents, you can't say anything either. Eat."

Holding the iron basin in her hands, Linlin's eyebrows couldn't help but bloom with joy.

He finally got to eat the food that his mother had taken away from him again.

At that moment, he felt that his life was complete.

He happily ate it spoonful after spoonful.

"Uncle, it's delicious!"

"I've already said it, it's not that my uncle likes to eat, it's that my uncle can't eat!"

Zhou Yu gently tapped his little head with a diamond-shaped object.

"Uncle, stop knocking! If you keep knocking, I'll get even dumber. What if I forget and can't tell Mom and my sister?"

"Hey? You've even learned to threaten me now. Haven't you become smarter? Children shouldn't be too smart." With that, Zhou Yu tapped him again.

Linlin had no choice but to hold her bowl and run to a corner to eat in a huff.

Only then did Zhou Yu have time to open the system panel.

He clicked to view his wish list again:

Zhou Yu clicked to claim.

Instantly, the entire process of making SD sashimi appeared in his mind, including bleeding the fish, slaughtering and slicing it, as well as the selection and processing of various spices.

Before he could think for more than a few seconds, the process of making a mille-feuille cake popped into his mind.

I instantly understood every step, from how to fry each layer of crepe to how to whip cream.

Zhou Yu was quite happy to have drawn a mille-feuille cake. Does this count as drawing an S-rank card?

Actually, he didn't like most sweets, but the mille-crepe cake wasn't as sweet as other cakes, making it one of the few sweets that Zhou Yu actually liked.

Back when I was still working at the company, the HR department would buy the most crepe cakes for the company's monthly birthday celebrations.

Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment to make cakes.

Should we buy one?

Although I only set up a stall for two days, I earned more than 8,000 yuan, and then I received a month's supply of free buffalo milk as promised by Liang Ding.

After calculating the price of the buffalo milk and estimating that I could earn at least 4,000 yuan from my stall tonight, it's like I've earned over 10,000 yuan in just three days.

Thinking about this, Zhou Yu really felt the urge to buy a set of Western-style pastry and cake kitchenware.

We make these, but we don't sell them; we just eat them ourselves!

Just then, Linlin ran over and handed the iron basin to Zhou Yu: "Uncle! I'm done eating! It was delicious!"

Just then, Cao Xuezhen woke up and came out.

Zhou Yu didn't bother to correct his nephew's grammatical errors. He hastily wiped Linlin's mouth with his hand, then picked up the iron basin and hurried to the kitchen.

Cao Xuezhen looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What bad thing have you done now?"

"No, I just washed the dishes." Zhou Yu said through the sound of running water, "Wenhui and I brought back some food, and Linlin insisted on eating it all now, so I had to put it in a bowl for him."

Cao Xuezhen still looked suspicious: "Then you can just put the bowl there. When did you wash the bowl?"

"Oh, I was just worried you'd be too tired. Besides, I'm so happy today, I made over three thousand with just one sentence!"

"What? More than three thousand?" Hearing that Zhou Yu had inexplicably made money again, Cao Xuezhen stopped thinking about Zhou Yu suddenly washing dishes.

"Well..." Zhou Yu recounted the events of the day to Cao Xuezhen, and then also mentioned Liang Ding's decision to exempt him from the burden of feeding him water buffalo milk for a month.

He then concluded, "So, you can get at least 600 jin of buffalo milk a month, which means you can earn at least 3,000 yuan, right?"

Cao Xuezhen stared at Zhou Yu in shock the whole time, unable to utter a single word.

At this point, she had completely forgotten why Zhou Yu had suddenly started washing the dishes.

It wasn't until Linlin loudly chimed in that Cao Xuezhen came to her senses.

"It's true, Grandma! Uncle's chicken was so delicious! The double-skin milk pudding was so good too! And the little rabbit and lion figurines that bald uncle made were so tasty!"

Cao Xuezhen felt like she didn't even recognize her son anymore.

Is this still the same son who only knows how to cook terrible food?
