The dishes I cook are invincible and delicious [System]

Song Ruan lowered her head and stared blankly at the jade pendant. The carving on it was very delicate, but probably it had been for a long time, so the edges and corners were a little fuzzy.

Song Yue seemed to see the doubts on his face, and explained patiently, "This is the dowry of the aunt. When you were young, you were playful and said you liked it, so the aunt gave it to you."

"Then why did I throw it away?"

Song Ruan cherished the warm jade pendant and asked softly.

Song Yue asked without answering, "You really don't remember?"

"..."

Song Ruan remembered that Song's mother had told her not to spread the matter, so she hesitated for a moment.

Song Yue saw his younger brother's tangled face, so he didn't mention it anymore, "Since you forgot... then forget it. But from now on, you have to keep this jade pendant yourself, and if you lose it again next time , don't ask me."

Song Ruan was a little curious, but Song Yue looked unwilling to say more, so he couldn't ask any more, "Thank you, brother."

Song Yuedao, "I won't disturb your rest anymore. It's windy at night, remember to close the windows."

Having said that, he turned and left.

"..."

Song Ruan watched his back disappear out of the window, and touched the jade pendant subconsciously, always feeling that there must be a story in it.

It's getting dark.

The servant girl lit the candlesticks in the house, and the cluster of bright yellow light, like a graceful dancer, slowly stretched her waist, gradually illuminating the whole room.

The window seemed not to be closed properly, and a small wind came in and blew mischievously on the candle head, and the flame couldn't stand it any longer, and she leaned her body weakly, and the candlelight flickered on Song Ruan's fair face For a moment—his picturesque eyebrows and eyes were shaken, and his red ear tips were reflected again.

The servant girl stared at the color for a while, then blushed a moment later, quickly closed the window tightly, and ran out by herself.

Song Ruan touched his hot earlobe, still thinking of some reason to push her away, but he didn't expect her to run away by herself, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He now understands that as long as his ears are hot, it means that the system has new news.

Song Ruan opened the panel and saw that the taskbar had changed.

[Task description] Congratulations on mastering the cooking skills, now you have obtained a new recipe, please use it to gain 10 popularity points!Popularity points can be used to buy props and upgrade the system.

[Completion Reward] Obtain a very important recipe.Recipe Notes: Very important and used every day.

A recipe you use every day?

Song Ruan directly ignored the reward, and turned his attention to the column of the task description.

Popularity?What does it mean?

Song Ruan clicked these three words subconsciously, and a pop-up window popped up on the panel, which wrote the rules of popularity in detail:

1. For every person who eats the dishes made by the host, the host can get 1 point of popularity.

2. There is no time limit for gaining popularity.For example: If a person eats a bowl of braised pork, he can get 1 popularity point; if he eats two bowls of braised pork, he can get 2 points; if he eats a bowl of braised pork and a bowl of fried vegetables, he can get 2 points.

In other words, as long as 10 people eat the dishes he made, the task will be considered complete.

This is not a very difficult task.

Song Ruan turned off the panel contentedly, he already knew how to finish it.

On the second day, in Song Ruan's small kitchen.

Mother Song and Song Yue sat opposite each other at a square table, looking at each other, feeling a little awkward with each other.

"Hi, ma'am."

After all, Song Yue was a junior, so he bowed his head first and said hello.

Mother Song hummed lightly, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to the shop to check the accounts?"

"When I went out this morning, Ruan'er asked me to come over for lunch. I didn't know that my aunt was here too..."

Song Yue paused, "I remembered that there are still some accounts in the shop that haven't been settled, I'll—"

"Sit down."

Song's mother had a good night's sleep yesterday, and today she looked extraordinarily radiant.

She interrupted Song Yue's speech, "Since Ruan'er invited you, sit down and have a good meal before leaving."

Song Ruan was busy at the back for a while, and didn't hear what the two of them said at all.Yesterday the system sent him several new recipes, which happened to be enough to make up one meat, one vegetable and one soup. If they still had room in their stomachs, there would be a basket of lotus seed paste buns steaming on the pot for dessert.

He put all the cooked dishes on the plate, walked over with two plates in his left hand and right hand, and happened to see his elder brother standing, looking like he was about to leave.

Song Ruan was slightly taken aback, "Where are you going, brother?"

"..."

Song Yue originally wanted to leave before Song Ruan found out, but he didn't expect his younger brother to move so fast, so he had to sit back in his original position, "It's nothing."

Seeing him sitting down, Song Ruan calmed down a bit and put all the dishes on the table.

Although he knows that no matter what ingredients he chooses, it will be equally delicious, but Song Ruan is still unwilling to be sloppy when cooking a meal for his family.

The meat is selected skin-on pork belly, which is fat and thin, and is dyed with deep red sauce. At first glance, the meat is plump and tender, not to mention the meaty aroma, which has a little sweetness and hooks. It whets the appetite, and I feel like I can eat three bowls of rice with just the sauce.

This is true for a simple braised pork, and the vegetarian dishes and soup are naturally unambiguous. They are obviously just ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they are bright in color and rich in fragrance. Just a glance and a smell are enough to make people index finger Big move.

This meal was actually the most harmonious lunch between Mother Song and Song Yue.

No quarrels, no cold eyes, three people gather together, the red chopsticks shuttle between the dishes, the aroma and heat are mixed together, one bite of meat, one bite of vegetarian, one bite of sweetness, until the dishes on the table are eaten dry It was clean, even the sauce of the braised pork was not left, the three people put down their chopsticks and sighed contentedly.

Song Ruan didn't even need to open the panel, just by watching how often they moved their chopsticks, he already understood that he had already firmly obtained these points of popularity.

Mother Song and Song Yue both had shop business to take care of, and they were about to leave after a short rest after the meal. Before the two left, Song Ruan specially asked the maid to pack two food boxes, and handed them to the two.

"It's a lotus paste bun."

Song Ruan was used to being reticent, no matter how much he held back, he couldn't hold back a few nice words, so he simply used actions to prove it, "You can eat it as soon as it's hot."

There was a bit of surprise in the eyes of the two of them.

Especially Song's mother, since she ate the lotus seed bun made by Song Ruan yesterday, she slept very soundly at night, so she is very energetic today. Exuding the aura of being a family member.

Song's mother looked at Song Ruan quietly. If she didn't reach out to pick it up, Song Yue couldn't pick it up either.

She looked at it for a while, then suddenly sighed heavily, then took the food box over, touched Song Ruan's face, and muttered to herself, "You are obedient now..."

She only said half a sentence, and then suddenly seemed to wake up, showing a gentle smile, told Song Ruan a few words as before, lifted the food box in his hand, and left with Song Yue.

Song Ruan stood there for a while, and saw the backs of the two of them completely disappear behind the door, so he called a few boys to clean the kitchen.For this task, Song Ruan specially made a few extra drawers of lotus seed paste buns, and called the personal servant girl, and asked her to distribute them to the maids and boys in the yard.

"Yes, thank you son."

For some reason, Song Ruan always felt that after he had finished giving orders, the maid's eyes revealed an unconcealable joy.

He hasn't rewarded the money yet, but just rewarded some food, is he so happy?

The servant girl saw the slight doubt in his eyes, so she answered him, "My lord, your craftsmanship is so good, we will never forget the buns you gave us last time, everyone called me just now, please I will pay attention to see if the young master has left some for them to have a good time, and they are willing to eat leftovers."

Song Ruan thought she was joking, and slightly raised the corner of her mouth, but he immediately suppressed it.

The sun was just right outside, and Song Ruan planned to go into the house to take out all the ancient books that the original owner had spoiled to dry in the sun. Who would have thought that his earlobes would burn instantly when he stepped in the door—the system reminded him.

Song Ruan was slightly taken aback. He originally thought that he should be able to complete the task today, but he didn't expect it to be completed so quickly.

Mother and Big Brother have 6 popularity points, where do the remaining 4 points come from?

He turned his mind, went to the window and leaned over to have a look, sure enough, those maids and servants each had a bun in their hands, eating with relish and contentment.

"This is really..."

Song Ruan sighed amusedly, and opened the system panel, which indeed showed the mark of task completion. At the same time, the system sent a reward email, and the new task was updated instantly.

Song Ruan didn't have time to open a reward box, because the new task attracted him immediately.

To be precise, there was nothing special about the mission, it just increased the difficulty—it was not a difficult task for him, but the contents of the reward box were completely different from before.

[Completion reward] Obtain a salt shaker.

Salt Shaker Description: A magical jar from which you can get an endless supply of delicious refined salt.

It turned out to be salt!

Song Ruan's eyes lit up by the way, and a little excitement appeared on his usually calm face.

How important is salt in ancient times? It can be said that the two wealthiest industries monopolized by the government are iron and salt.
