"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill - and face specialization."

On Xu Zhuo's handsome face, the smile gradually solidified.

"I have learned how to make a face at the age of five, and I still need you to teach me?"

10 minutes later……

"Hey, this dough doesn't seem to be ordinary."

Chapter 001 and face skills?

"The system binding is successful, and a novice gift package will be presented."

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Zhuo, who had just returned from grocery shopping, had just parked his battery car when a picture of a golden gift bag popped up in front of him, with a big exclamation mark on it.

Xu Zhuo unhurriedly raised his hand, tapped on the void in front of him, and the gift bag was immediately opened.

"For a whole week, this dog system has finally been successfully bound!"

During this week, Xu Zhuo experienced many changes in his heart, from the initial shock to anticipation, to the present calmness.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully receiving the novice gift package and gaining the skill-kneading expertise."

The unique electronic synthesis sound of the system sounded in my mind.

On Xu Zhuo's handsome face, the smile gradually solidified.

He is a noodle shop owner. He has taken over the family's Sifang restaurant for more than two years, and he is very familiar with the production of various noodles.

It turned out that the system actually gave such a skill that was not even considered tasteless.

"I have learned how to make a face at the age of five, and I still need you to teach me?"

Shaking his head, Xu Zhuo opened the shop door.

Putting the bought vegetables into the back kitchen, he began to prepare today's ingredients.

Sifang Restaurant has been operating on this street for decades. It has been three generations since Xu Zhuo's grandfather and now Xu Zhuo took over.

The main hand-rolled noodles are well received.

But in the past year, with the transfer of the city center to the new district.

The popularity of the old town is declining day by day, and the business of the noodle shop is also sluggish.

In order to save money, Xu Zhuo even fired the only two waiters in the store, and now he is the boss, the chef and the waiters all inclusive.

But even so, the noodle shop is still struggling to make ends meet.

When washing his hands, Xu Zhuo felt a little melancholy.

"Oh, at the latest one month, Sifang Restaurant will have to close down."

The preparation of the noodle shop starts with the dough.

After washing his hands and tying up his apron, Xu Zhuo brought the washbasin and started kneading the dough.

Hand-rolled noodles pay attention to the texture, and cold boiled water and a little refined salt should be used to knead the noodles.

Although Xu Zhuo is an old hand, as long as you don't pay attention when meeting, you will still overturn.

Because the proportion of raw materials used in dough is different according to the season and weather, it needs to be adjusted as appropriate.

For example, put less water in rainy days, put more salt in cold weather, and so on.

I don't know why, but during the face-to-face meeting today, Xu Zhuo felt that it went very smoothly, every step seemed to be done many times.The amount of water added and the strength of the noodles can be called almost perfect.

The dough that comes out is full of gluten, moderately soft and hard, smooth and not sticky.

Next is waking up.

Just as Xu Zhuo covered it with a damp cloth, the electronic synthesis sound in his mind sounded again.

"The host uses the skills correctly and starts the novice mission."

"Task [-] for beginners: [Reshape Word of Mouth] Get compliments from ten customers within a day, and reward the skill after completion - Dough Kneading Expertise. If you fail the task, you will lose the opportunity to acquire this skill forever."

"Task 1 for beginners: [Turn losses into profits] Within one month, the turnover of the day will reach [-] yuan, and the skill will be rewarded after completion - the specialty of rolling noodles. If the task fails, the opportunity to acquire this skill will be lost forever."

"Task [-] for beginners: [Rise to Fame] Within a month, gain the favor of [-] repeat customers. After completing the task, you will be rewarded with the skill—Noodle Cooking Specialization. If you fail the task, you will lose the opportunity to acquire this skill forever."

After the sound ended, these tasks were written in Xu Zhuo's mind so that he could check them at any time.And there is a progress bar below each task, showing the completion of the task.

Now the three progress bars are all 0, like a blood tank that has been emptied.

Up to now, Xu Zhuo is still blind to his own system.

Not to mention the origin of the system, I don't even know the name of the system.

But just after going through the steps of meeting, he didn't dare to underestimate the skills in the novice mission.

"Having mastered these skills, maybe this noodle shop that is on the verge of bankruptcy can be revitalized."

But thinking of the popularity of the old city, Xu Zhuo retreated a little.

The task of rebuilding word-of-mouth is okay, just bring ten acquaintances over, and it can be completed after a while of business bragging.

It is not difficult to gain a reputation. Give customers vouchers and worry about them not coming.

Xu Zhuo is very flexible, and he immediately thought of a way to deal with the system.

But it is difficult to turn losses into profits. A daily turnover of more than 1 yuan is no less difficult for Sifangguan.

At least in the past two years when Xu Zhuo took over the noodle shop, the turnover was the highest in a single day, breaking through [-].

That's because his grandfather came to cook for him, and some regular customers came to join him.

Relying on him, I can have a turnover of 500 yuan a day, and I am very happy.

"Don't worry about that much for now, let's talk about missions one and three after finishing missions."

After making up his mind, Xu Zhuo began to prepare the noodles for today.

Sifang Restaurant's main menu is tomato egg and mushroom beef marinade. The boiled noodles are poured with thick marinade. After a little mixing, it is delicious.

After doing all this, Xu Zhuo boiled the water and began to wait for customers to come to his door.

"Boss, order a small bowl of hand-rolled noodles! The baby and the mother-in-law are not at home today, and I don't bother to start a fire. I'll come to your house to make do."

Just after eleven o'clock, Li Sifu, the owner of the hardware store next door, came.

Li Sifu is a native of Sichuan, in his 50s this year.

Although he is not tall and his clothes are sloppy, he is very shrewd.

Relying on this shrewdness, he has already bought three houses in Linping City.

The two sons live in one apartment, and he and his wife live in another apartment, and no one affects the other.

Just now Xu Zhuo was still thinking about who to find for a business exchange, but he didn't expect someone to come to his door.

"Hey! Lao Li is here, hurry up and sit down, I just brewed Tieguanyin, come and taste it."

This is the tea that Xu Zhuo bought at Bingxi for [-] yuan, soaked in the tea bucket in the store, it is barely more flavorful than plain water.

As an old tea drinker, Li Sifu naturally recognized this kind of cheap tea.

"No, no, no, I have tea in my room. The oolong tea I just bought costs 500 yuan a catty. I feel so sorry for me..."

The smile on Xu Zhuo's face froze again.

In the kitchen, he made a large bowl of hand-rolled noodles, and then poured it full of mushroom and beef marinade.

In order to make Li Sifu's praise smooth, Xu Zhuo even put several pieces of beef in his bowl.

When the noodles came out, Li Sifu was startled: "You son, what I want is a small bowl of noodles, why did you bring me a big bowl? You can't cheat your neighbors if you don't have business."

Xu Zhuo was amused: "Today I'm treating guests, I don't charge money, let's eat while it's hot, I'll go to the back to watch the fire."

He thought that when he left, Li Sifu would say some words of thanks and praise the noodles in the bowl by the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Zhuo walked to the back kitchen, Li Sifu muttered in a low voice.

"It must be that the leftover food from yesterday can't be sold, so you insist on treating me, you little profiteer!"

Chapter 002 Mission... Completed

After Li Sifu muttered, he took a bite of the noodles with his chopsticks.

The noodles are very good, chewy and smooth, full of taste.

The Shanghai Greens cooked with the noodles are also tender and delicious, and the heat is just right.

As for the stewed beef, he didn't dare to try it in the end.

Because of his preconceived ideas, Li Sifu always felt that this brine was left over from yesterday.

He didn't dare to eat it.

In case of a bad stomach, you have to spend money to treat it.

After Xu Zhuo finished his work in the back kitchen, Li Sifu had already left.

Looking at the eight yuan left on the table, Xu Zhuo didn't care.

The large bowl of noodles in Sifang Pavilion costs [-] yuan, and the small bowl of noodles costs [-] yuan.

What Li Sifu asked for just now was a small bowl of noodles, and now it is reasonable to give eight yuan.

Xu Zhuo didn't care about these things. What he cared about was that on the system panel, there was no progress for Task 0, and the progress bar was still [-].

Xu Zhuo walked over and found that Li Sifu's leftover bowl was full of chunks of beef and diced mushrooms.

What happened?

Is it not delicious?

Xu Zhuo thought there was something wrong with his cooking, so he went to the kitchen to taste the marinade again, the aroma was strong and the aftertaste was endless.

The smell of shiitake mushrooms is paired with the aroma of beef, and the savory taste of the sauce. If it is paired with strong noodles, it is a perfect match, okay?

This Li Sifu didn't even have a word of praise.

What a superficial neighbor!

But soon Xu Zhuo was relieved, it was all because he was thin-skinned and didn't guide Li Sifu just now, causing him to focus on eating instead of boasting.

If he knew that Li Sifu called him a small profiteer just now, Xu Zhuo would not be so considerate.

After tidying up the dishes, Xu Zhuo wiped the table and began to wait for the next customer.

The pieces of meat in Li Sifu's bowl had already been poured into a small basin by Xu Zhuo, and he brought them back at night to serve as a sacrifice to the neighbor's Alaska.

Today, due to the demolition, the water pipes were cut off, causing the entire community next to it to have no water, and the Sifang Pavilion is rarely full.

He was cooking, collecting money, and bringing bowls to the table by himself, so he was too busy.

There are many customers with different requirements.

Some people don't eat green onion and coriander, some people ask to make it into Guoshuilo noodles,

There are also people who want him to cook to six mature, and he likes to eat sandwiches.

There were even two little girls dressed as high school students who thought Xu Zhuo was so handsome and pestered him for his WeChat ID.
