Rebirth as a Cooking God

Ding dong.

Just after finishing the chat and closing the chat box, a news flash popped up on the notification bar of the phone:

...According to a doctor at Jingchu Hospital who did not want to be named, Mr. Wei Zhong, the former 'Alternate Pastry King', suddenly fell into a deep coma. The hospital is currently doing its best to rescue him.

His teacher Huang He was interviewed by reporters in the hospital and bluntly stated that Mr. Wei Zhong suffered from congenital hidden heart disease. This coma was also caused by a sudden heart attack, so the outside world should not make excessive speculations.

Xia Yu was stunned when he saw the news.

He returned to the desktop of his mobile phone and looked at the date displayed on the screen. He couldn't help but be surprised: I remember Sister Qi said that the interview program would be broadcast today, so that's why it will premiere now. Is Wei Zhong going out of style?

The effect of this medicine is too strong!

The communication device in the palm of my hand beeped and vibrated again, and a new message popped up from the 'Five Shows and Swords Exchange Group'.

... Li Han was the first to bubble up, typing a series of ellipses.

...

Next, there are Tang Yuqiong, Lei Aoxue and others.

Only Ye Feizhou was missing.

A private chat message came over, Tang Yuqiong said: Our Chef Wei is very cold. Do you know about this?

Xia Yu scratched his chin, read this message, and thought about how to reply.

Did you say you knew it earlier?

Or is this what he wanted to achieve when he accepted an exclusive interview and deliberately cooked with the Three Steaming in One recipe?

ha.

Wouldn't this expose his dark side...

Just as Xia Yu was preparing the words to reply, Tang Yuqiong sent another message: Okay, don't think about how to deal with me. I guess you will rack your brains to pretend to be confused.

Xia Yu's face froze.

It's easy to kill someone, but it's difficult to kill someone's heart.

If the Unpalatable Seal was meant to drive Wei Zhong into hell, then with your passionate interpretation, you really kicked him to the deepest part of the eighteenth level of hell, where he will never be able to turn around again in this life...

This girl is quite smart.

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and joked: It's actually very simple for me to kill a chef. Girl, do you want to do it? Haha.

I surrender! Tang Yuqiong replied with a shivering expression.

Put away your phone.

It was probably noon. Xia Yu glanced at the little figure working hard in front of the kitchen table, walked over, put his hand skillfully on Liu Ying's head, and asked with a smile: What do you think of your 'Dragon Beard Cake'? , are you qualified to be included in Juxialou’s new menu?”

Liu Ying turned her head, with a face filled with grievance: Mr. Xia, I failed again!

Why can't Golden Wheat be blended in?

The little girl frowned in distress.

Snapped.

With a hand knife falling, Xia Yu said amusingly: You are not very good at controlling the golden wheat. It was already a great miracle that you could blend it into the mushroom noodles before.

Now, don't think about using golden wheat as a spear to attack those pastry recipes——

Xia Yu pointed at the little girl's feet, lifted her off the stool, let her feet fall back to the ground, and put her hands on Liu Ying's shoulders.

You should be down to earth and hone your basic skills!

But... Liu Ying pouted, she had also learned to act coquettishly towards Xia Yu, I am Ju Xia downstairs' new owner. If I don't get the new menu, the dishes seven days a week, then I Doesn’t the owner have no sense of existence!”

It turns out that the little girl is struggling with her sense of existence.

Don't you still have 'Baocai Mushroom Noodles'? Xia Yu touched her smooth forehead with his finger and sang in a serious voice: Liu Ying, you have contributed a special dish to Ju Xia Downstairs' new menu. You have made an outstanding contribution... This Is it ready soon?

Liu Ying suddenly beamed: Yeah, my special dish is on the menu!

Her cheerful look made Xia Yu laugh too.

Afternoon.

Xia Yu summoned Zhu Qing and Liu Lan and circulated a preliminary draft of the new menu.

It took him four or five days to finalize the menu. The rough format was tentatively set at three dishes per day. Of course, each dish was a main course, and snacks and tea were not included.

Moreover, there are 3 dishes every day, and the ‘King of Dish’ of the day will be selected based on the number of meals taken. This popular dish will also be automatically included in the next day’s menu. In this way, if the cycle is 7 days a week, the dishes are actually a 3+1 system.

3+1, isn't that 4? Zhu Qing shook his head, No, no, the number 4 is not very auspicious.

There was a cunning look in her eyes, How about I also contribute and change it to a 4+1 system?

Xia Yu facepalmed: Aunt Qing, didn't I invite you at the beginning? Besides, this new menu pursues unique features and not just any dish can be included. Otherwise, why would I have to think hard for days before finalizing it!

Zhu Qing suddenly became unhappy.

Are you saying that my recipe is completely useless?

That's not what I meant. Forget it. Let's not talk about characteristics. Let's talk about responding to the trend of the times...

Then you mean your Aunt Qing is behind the times?

stare--

Zhu Qing looked at the Queen angrily.

Liu Lan looked at the young man and the woman, who looked more like mother and son, and found that she couldn't find any space to interrupt.

Let’s put the menu aside for now.

Xia Yu opened the store template of Ju Xia Lou. On the three-dimensional projection of Ju Xia Lou, areas including the store, kitchen, and food warehouse all had a hammer logo floating in them. This meant that the project upgrade was in progress.

The countdown to the comprehensive store update and upgrade is 20:33 on the 6th day...

Since it is included in system management, there will be upgrades.

Upgrading, of course, consumes reputation points. Xia Yu invested a full 200,000 reputation points in the green upgrade project for Ju Xia downstairs' first star.

At the same time, the series of tasks The name of Ju downstairs (2) has also been released.

Your disciple Liu Ying (nine-star chef) has become the new owner of Juxialou. Next, please assist Liu Ying in running Juxialou. The mission goal is to obtain 10,000 likes from guests. The mission rewards are as follows -

Optional: 1. The output of famous store specialties +1 for each period.

2. [Store] Area Upgrade Plan (2 stars).

3. The exploration value of the mysterious ancient well is +10%.

Well.

Xia Yu held his chin.

A week later, Ju went downstairs and officially resumed business.

10,000 likes? It's not difficult, just entertain thousands of diners and keep them satisfied.

The strangest thing is the mission reward.

The increase in the number of special products and the upgrade project book are all rewards at the blue level.

But the third article, marked with golden shining words...

Xia Yu simply couldn't complain, hey, is it really okay to highlight it like this? Normal people know which one to choose. Isn’t this a noble color related to the main line?

Xia Yu couldn't calm down after receiving such a strong hint from the system, so he turned around and went to Ju's utility room downstairs to find a bundle of ropes.

Come to the location of the ancient well.

Looking down at the deep and bottomless ancient well, Xia Yu stood on the well platform and tried to turn on the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine down, but after all, it was the light source of the mobile phone, not some high-altitude searchlight. A few meters down, it was still pitch black, even Mao could see Not like that.

He tied one end of the rope to the waist of a tree not far from the ancient well, and tested the load-bearing limit. When he thought it was okay, Xia Yu wrapped one end of the rope around his waist. The next step was very simple. Put the rope down, little by little. Explore down the well.

About 20 meters down, the rope stretched straight.

Xia Yu was hanging in the air, quite speechless. He looked down at the darkness below him, and had a vague feeling that no matter how long the rope was, he might not be able to explore it to the end.

So, I opened it the wrong way?

After muttering, Xia Yu was in the ancient well, and the cold air hit his face, and he also calmed down.

I couldn't help but laugh at my own hot head.

Since it is a mysterious side and a corner of the world, using ordinary methods to explore it is a mistake in itself.

He returns to the surface.
