Dare to cook

Chapter 153 The Thousand Paper Cranes in the Candy Jar

After leaving Li's house, Yao Yu and others came to the parking lot of the community and were about to drive away when they received a call from Li Donglai.

During the phone call, Li Donglai asked Yao Yu to wait a moment, saying that he had something to hand over to him.

Yao Yu was a little surprised and waited at the entrance of the parking lot.

Less than 2 minutes later, Li Donglai jogged over, holding a large plastic candy jar in his hand.

There are no candies in the candy jar, but paper cranes of various colors.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is a blessing message written on each thousand paper cranes.

Li Donglai, who ran all the way over, panted slightly, and handed the can of thousand paper cranes to Yao Yu:

"Xiaomeng made this for you. Since you lost your sense of taste and retired three years ago, she has made a thousand paper cranes for you every day. She didn't make any more paper cranes until you came back last month."

"Xiaomeng hopes that you can accept this and keep it as a souvenir."

After hearing this, Yao Yu was instantly moved.

He even instantly thought of a picture:
A little girl suffering from illness, sitting on the hospital bed carefully stacking paper cranes, silently prayed for him.

Folding an origami crane is not difficult.

It is not difficult to fold a hundred.

However, for three consecutive years, they insisted on praying for one person's origami crane every day, but very few people could do it.

Especially in this age where egoism is prevalent, glitz and excitement, and entertainment to death.

People are after new and exciting things.

There are fewer and fewer people who are willing to be nostalgic and long-lasting.

Yao Yu really never thought that there would be a person who folded a thousand paper cranes for him for three years because of his loss of taste.

This kind of silent dedication may seem inconspicuous, but the intention contained in it is heavy.

For a moment, Yao Yu didn't know what to say.

"August 8th, sunny. I hope brother Yao Yu can recover his sense of taste as soon as possible."

"September 9th, rain. I listened to Buddhist scriptures ten times today. I hope Bodhisattva can bless brother Yao Yu to regain his sense of taste soon."

"November 11, cloudy. Difficulties may always exist, but as long as we persevere, there is hope."

"December 12th, Yin. Brother Yao Yu will definitely get better, definitely!"

"February 2rd, sunny. The flowers on the window sill are blooming, brother Yao Yu's illness is about to be cured."

"April 4st, Yin. Buddha, I'm not lying to anyone on April Fool's Day. Can you let Yao Yu return to the culinary world quickly?"

"May 5th, rain. Today is my birthday. I made a wish. I hope Yao Yu will get well soon."

"June 6st, cloudy..."

"May 7, sunny..."

On the way back to the short-term rental villa, Zhao Jingxi, who was sitting in the back row, opened the candy jar, took out a thousand paper cranes, took them apart, and read aloud.

After reading the blessing message on the paper crane, Zhao Jingxi carefully folded the paper crane and put it back in the jar.

While driving the car, Yang Rui listened to these messages read by Zhao Jingxi, and said with emotion:
"Each of these paper cranes represents a heavy yearning."

"Yao Yu, you bastard, you saved the little girl's life, but stole her heart."

"Can you stop talking nonsense?" Yao Yu was not in the mood to talk to Yang Rui at the moment.

He rubbed his face, feeling as if he owed a ton of emotional debt.

"What are your thoughts now?" Lu Chenyu's expression was a little tasteful.

Although both she and Yao Yu understood that what Li Xiaomeng did was just seeking a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Patients who are trapped in a small space all year round find it difficult to socialize and make new friends like normal people.

When they can't meet new friends for a long time, they will start to miss the people who treated them well in the past.

The more they miss, the more important the person who is missed will be in their hearts.

This is not love and liking, but an emotional dependence and sustenance.

It's a kind of, a little sad helplessness.

Because, people who are full of sunshine and prospects in their lives will not have time to remember the past.

It will not magnify a certain person or event in the past.

Yao Yu thought for a while, then said slowly:
"I want to hold a birthday dinner for Li Xiaomeng, invite Lao Zhu and Shen Qiuming, and have a lively birthday party for Li Xiaomeng."

"Just in a short time, it will be her 20th birthday."

"Is Li Xiaomeng already 20 years old? Looking at her, I thought she was only fifteen or sixteen years old." Yang Rui said unexpectedly.

"She was dragged down by the illness. If she were healthy, she wouldn't be as thin as she is now." Lu Chenyu sighed softly, "I also agree to hold a birthday party for Li Xiaomeng. But, will the space of the Li family not be enough?" Too much?"

"It's easy to handle. The birthday party can be held in the villa we live in now. It is spacious enough and convenient to arrange in advance."

Yao Yu said:

"Of course, for this matter, you have to greet Li Donglai first."

……

Back in Huangdao District, Yao Yu first sent Lu Chenyu and Zhao Jingxi back to the player village, and then returned to the short-term rental villa with Yang Rui.

Back at the villa, Yao Yu took a bath first.

While taking a bath, Yao Yu clicked on the system panel and clicked to receive the task reward.

[Congratulations to the user for winning the lv8 recipe - Matoki]

[Congratulations to the user for winning the lv8 recipe - Masaka Chicken Nuggets]

[Congratulations to the user for winning the lv8 recipe - Busia Curry Risotto]

These three dishes are all delicacies from Uganda, an East African country.Among them, matoki is the national dish of Uganda, and it is also a kind of banana rice.

As for the masaka chicken nuggets and busia curry risotto, you can tell what kind of food it is just by looking at the name.

This time, Yao Yu still chooses the recipe reward in the region of East African countries.

He has already thought about it.

I plan to get all the recipes that can be learned in East Africa by doing tasks first, and then collect recipes from West Africa, Central Africa, North Africa, South America and other countries in turn.

As for European and North American cuisines, it would be best if they could be collected through missions.

Even if the collection is not complete, it will be better for him to go on a study tour in Europe and America than to spend the same amount of time going to Africa and South America.

After drawing three recipes, Yao Yu tried to draw new skills.

According to the task description of "Taste of Memory" this time, Yao Yu has the opportunity to unlock the new skill [Taste of Home] by lottery after completing the task.

After Yao Yu selected the unlock skill on the panel, the system immediately prompted:

[Congratulations to the user for unlocking a new skill - the taste of home]

[Taste of Home - a passive gain skill that allows users to steadily obtain a 5% culinary bonus when making home-cooked dishes]

After getting another new skill, Yao Yu couldn't help but smile.

He clicked on his personal panel, and saw that the panel data was updated as follows:

After glancing at the personal panel, Yao Yu clicked on the main task panel.

then……

Yao Yu felt a little relaxed just now, and became less beautiful again...
