A Bite of Douluo Continent

Hammer it!

This really is a brain!

Fuya shook her head vigorously, "Boss, I don't want it."

Qi Han blinked, a wicked smile spreading across his face. "It's too late to say no now~" He stood up and walked over to Fuya. Qi Han picked up her grilled pig brain, scooped out a spoonful, and brought it close to Fuya's face. "Ah~"

Fuya shook her head violently, tears of humiliation welling in her eyes. "No! No! Ah!!!"

Just as Fuya opened her mouth to refuse, Qi Han quickly put the small spoon into her mouth before leisurely putting down her roasted pig brain.

Brain!

My brain is in my mouth!

Fuya looked terrified and shook her head frantically.

"Aa ...

After smacking her lips twice, Fuya suddenly froze.

How can it taste so good?

Chapter 49 A Poisonous Recommendation from Fuya

"belch!"

Fuya let out a burp, covered her mouth, and her face turned red again.

She secretly glanced at Qi Han, who was busy tidying up in the kitchen and seemed unaware of her strange behavior, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the empty foil in front of her, Fuya couldn't help but feel even more desperate.

Oh no, I ate a badger's brain! Am I going to become an evil spirit master?

Waaaaah...

Qi Han finished tidying up the kitchen, looked up at the lifeless Fuya, and smiled slightly.

Well, judging from Fuya's performance, the people of Douluo Continent have a pretty high acceptance of pig brains and pig intestines.

[Host, are you sure this is what you call high acceptance?]

Qi Han shrugged. "It's already good enough, much better than I expected."

【Ding! 】

[Mission triggered!]

Limited-time task: New dish promotion

Please sell 1,000 servings of each of the three new dishes within five days!

Task Description: Since the host deems it acceptable, then begin your performance! This system is eagerly anticipating it!

Task Reward: 2 x One-Star Selectable Recipe Fragments

???

Five days, one thousand servings?

System, can I take back what I just said?

It's too late.

Gan!

Qi Han rubbed his head in pain. Selling a thousand servings of pan-fried honey ribs wasn't a big deal.

But the bursting pork intestines and foil-baked pig brains...

To gain widespread acceptance among the people of Douluo Continent within just five days...

The difficulty level is absolutely hellish.

No, I have to use my beauty to seduce them!

"Fuya!"

"Boss?" Qi Han's call instantly snapped Fuya out of her daze and into "business mode." "What is it?"

"Over the next five days, you can recommend more new dishes to your guests."

Recommending new dishes...

Faced with her boss's request, Fuya hesitated, which was unusual for her.

Seeing Fuya's hesitant expression, Qi Han steeled himself and added another incentive: "For every serving of 'bursting fatty intestines' and 'tin foil-baked pig brains' sold, you'll get a commission of one gold soul coin!"

Jingle Bell!

Fuya's eyes instantly shone with the light of gold soul coins.

"Good boss!"

After cleaning up the dishes and utensils and putting them in the dishwasher, Fuya said goodbye to Qi Han and returned to Shrek Academy.

After watching Fuya leave, Qi Han slowly closed the door and entered the system space.

The fish-belly-with-sheep technique still hasn't broken through the hurdle of deboning the whole fish. It has failed at this step alone tens of thousands of times. Thanks to this, Qi Han's swordsmanship has reached the level of half-step mastery, and his first soul ring has turned into a yellowish-purple color.

I wonder whether the successful deboning of the whole fish or the arrival of the millennium soul ring will come first.

As for Qi Han's second spirit ring, it was still a ten-year spirit ring...

This made Qi Han determined to put more effort into his carving skills in the future.

The system had placed "The Ghost Carving" on his bedside table, but Qi Han hadn't had a chance to open it yet.

Once this busy period is over, I'll get back to practicing my carving skills.

The difficulty in cooking "fish belly stuffed with lamb" lies not only in deboning the whole fish, although deboning the whole fish is still very difficult, but the other steps that follow are also not easy.

To achieve perfection, it requires a long period of practice.

Fortunately, after being promoted to junior chef, the flow of time in the training space was further improved. Two months inside was equivalent to only one day outside. At this speed, the time it would take to master this dish could be greatly shortened.

If you work a little harder, it should be fine within a week, right?

The system had mentioned before that the three-star recipe not only has special effects, but also produces some strange phenomena when it appears in a transcendent plane like Douluo Continent. These phenomena cannot be observed in the training space. Qi Han was quite curious about these so-called phenomena.

Is it something like glowing fried rice?

Grabbing a live fish from the pool, Qi Han skillfully swam his knife across its body.

I'm here, hiding a sheep inside a fish's belly!

[An error has occurred; deboning the whole fish has damaged the flesh. Please start over.]

...

"I am back."

Carefully pushing open the dormitory door, Fuya breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Ying Shuangshuang was not asleep, and spoke a little louder.

Ying Shuangshuang turned her head and looked at Fuya with a hint of anticipation, "You seem to have been gone for a long time this time. Has the boss come back?"

"Hmm." Fuya nodded, and then saw Ying Shuangshuang jump off the bed.

"Yay! Finally I can eat that stinky boss's fried rice!" Ying Shuangshuang's eyes had turned into the shape of fried rice.

"Oh, right!" Ying Shuangshuang recalled the contents of Qi Han's leave request, "It seems like there will be new dishes when the boss comes back, do you know what the new dishes are?"

New dish...

Fuya's smile suddenly froze, but quickly returned to normal. Ying Shuangshuang didn't notice anything unusual. She looked at Fuya curiously, hoping to get first-hand information about the new dish from her.

“Hmm…” Fuya hesitated for a moment before speaking, “The boss should have three new dishes this time.”

"Three paths?!" Ying Shuangshuang's eyes lit up. "Do you know exactly what they are?"

Not only did I know, I also ate it...

Fuya silently complained to herself, then her expression turned somewhat strange.

Speaking of which... the boss said that after opening tomorrow, he would give himself a gold coin bonus for every serving of foil-baked pig brain or bursting pork intestines he recommends?

Shuangshuang is so cute, she must be easy to fool, right?

Thinking back on the girl's past actions, Fuya silently gave herself a positive answer.

Let's start with Shuangshuang.

Thinking of this, Fuya quickly smiled brightly, "The reason I came back late is to help the boss experiment with new dishes."

"So you've tried all three new dishes?" Ying Shuangshuang's eyes widened, filled with envy.

“Yes.” Fuya nodded, then looked around, leaned close to Ying Shuangshuang’s ear, and whispered.

"The boss has a new dish called 'Exploding Fatty Intestines.' It smells strange, but it tastes amazing. Trust me, you'll see when you try it tomorrow."

"It smells strange but tastes good?" Ying Shuang's eyes lit up. "I know! There's a kind of food called 'stinky sea fish' where I'm from, and it tastes just like that."

"I never expected Boss Qi to be able to cook such dishes! I definitely have to try them tomorrow!"

Seeing that Ying Shuangshuang was so cooperative, Fuya nodded in satisfaction.

Children can be taught.

"There's also a dish called 'tin foil-baked pig brain,' which looks strange, but tastes incredibly delicious..."

"Oh, I know that!" Before Fuya could even begin to use her persuasive skills, Ying Shuangshuang interrupted her.

Ying Shuangshuang's eyes lit up again, "That's exactly what the ugly orange fruit in our cafeteria is like. It looks ugly, but it's actually super sweet!"

Fuya fell silent. She felt that her best friend was beyond being easily fooled.

This is a classic case of walking into a trap.

But this is good too, +2 Gold Soul Coins.

I wonder what Ying Shuangshuang will think when she finds out that her best friend sold her two gold soul coins.
