Chapter 93： persevere

From that day on, He Jingwen would come to Peach Blossom Village whenever he had time, and the ways of getting in were all kinds of strange.

Mu Yan has also gotten used to it from being surprised at the beginning, whenever he sees strange people, He Jingwen must be the first thing that comes to mind.

Following the communication with Mu Yan and Mu Chen, a certain decision in He Jingwen's heart became more and more determined.

Mu Yan and He Jingwen also feel very happy in the communication, and are also very interested in the blueprint of the other party's plan, and yearn for it.

After getting along several times, Mu Chen also got to know He Jingwen. After all, he was choosing a partner, so he had to know the basics of the partner, otherwise it would be easy to cause problems.

After He Jingwen entered Taohua Village again at the risk of "life" and communicated with Mu Chenmuyan, the two parties formally established a partnership.

He Jingwen was very excited and felt that he had finally made it through and could finally do a good job.

Even for the sake of the cooperation between the two parties, He Jingwen directly quit his promising and high-paying job in the eyes of outsiders. Under the pressure of his family's ignorance and disapproval, he devoted himself to the cooperation with Mu Chen and the others.

Mu Chen and Muyan are not idle either, they used to just guard this small shop and make breakfast for the villagers, now that they have cooperated with others and plan to be busy on a large scale, naturally they can't be complacent.

The five waiters in the store have all gone to the back kitchen to help. Li Hao, Liu Hu, and Zhao Hanyuan started from the most basic dish washing. At the beginning, Zhang Mingfei and Tao Qingran were even able to skillfully chop and serve vegetables. After a while, they will be able to watch Mu Chen stir-fry on the stove.

Zhang Mingfei and Tao Qingran were very excited about this.

Even though they are not yet deeply involved in the world, they also know how much influence cooking skills have on the world. After all, there has never been such a kind of food before. They rob customers, even if the bosses miss some customers for them, their income will definitely be more than that of working hard.

Of course, smart people will not go out and do it alone after learning it. After all, following the bosses, eating meat and drinking soup is the most.

Now Zhang Mingfei and others simply worship Mu Chen Muyan as a god, and they work even harder. After all, as the first batch of beneficiaries, they don't get too many envious eyes, so they

I'm also very worried, if I don't work hard and get replaced by someone else, I won't be able to cry at that time.

"Zhang Mingfei, bring some water here." Mu Chen said to Zhang Mingfei while making peace with no expression on his face.

In the past, under the advice of Lin Jiayu and Yang Wenyao, they would reconcile noodles at home and sell them after wrapping them up. But now that they have decided to train these five people well, naturally they will not shy away from doing this. .

"Boss, the water is here." Zhang Mingfei put the water beside him, and his eyes could not help but drift to the face that Mu Chen was holding.

He is most familiar with the white powdery thing, after all, before the snack bar opened, that thing was their daily needs.

But when everyone was eating, at most they would make the nutritional powder into a paste and drink it, but they didn't expect that such an ordinary nutritional powder could still do this.

Zhang Mingfei's eyes widened, and he watched in amazement that the nutrition powder slowly condensed into a ball under Mu Chen's hands, it was white, and people couldn't help but want to touch it, and it was a little familiar.

Mu Chen didn't want to avoid Zhang Mingfei either. He put the reconciled dough on the chopping board, divided it into pieces of the same size, rolled them into dough, and wrapped the fillings that had already been prepared. With a few simple strokes, a white dough The fat and cute buns are formed.

Zhang Mingfei watched from the beginning to the end, and the more he watched, the more surprised he became.

"Boss, are the steamed buns we usually eat made of nutritional powder?" Zhang Mingfei asked in disbelief.

"En." Mu Chen answered one word very succinctly, without stopping the movements of his hands.

I'm afraid Zhang Mingfei is the only one who knows how surprised Zhang Mingfei is at the moment. He never thought that the skin of such delicious and delicious buns is actually made of the most common nutritional powder. This is simply... It's incredible .

What kind of brains are the big boss and the little boss, who can come up with such a strange way of eating, obviously everyone has the same head, why are some people's heads so smart?

"Then... the scallion pancakes, radish rolls, and pies, too?" Zhang Mingfei suddenly remembered the staple foods he usually eats, they all seemed a bit similar. Now that I think about it, aren't they all made with nutritional powder, although the methods are different? .

"Ok."

Zhang Mingfei felt that a door was quietly opened in front of him, and the world inside was colorful.

"Big boss, don't worry, I will never say anything." Zhang Mingfei said vowedly, he knew that the big boss didn't want to avoid him on purpose, otherwise he would never know.

This is the trust that the big boss has placed in him. Naturally, he can't live up to the trust of the boss. Even if he finds out that what they eat is made of the most common nutritional powder, he will never say anything about it.

Moreover, even if you know that it is made of nutritional powder, so what, if you don’t have a big boss, you will never think that you can eat it like this. The most important thing is, even if you know, you can’t make it yourself. Still the best.

Mu Chen didn't deny Zhang Mingfei's oath, and he didn't care. Since Mu Mu wanted to pass on his culinary skills, everyone would know about it sooner or later, so it didn't matter if it was sooner or later.

Ever since He Jingwen and Mu Chenmuyan had reached an agreement, they started looking for a suitable shop in the county.

At the beginning, he said that Mu Chen Muyan only needed to be in charge of the back kitchen, and all other trivial matters were handed over to him. As expected, Mu Chen Muyan really didn't bother, at most, when he found a few suitable shop addresses, he would let him Mu Chen and Mu Yan choose the location and decoration style they like, and then he will contact everything else.

Although it was difficult at the beginning, the funds were not much, and he didn't have any salary. When others thought he was crazy, he enjoyed it because he knew how much it would be once the store opened. It is so popular, not to mention the start-up capital, even if it is doubled, it will be earned back in minutes.

He Jingwen was busy looking for a shop, while Mu Chen was busy teaching his apprentices, Mu Yan was not idle either.

Mu Yan took out all the recipes rewarded by these system upgrades, sorted them out, and there were only eight of them, and they were basically common snacks. , obviously not enough.

In addition, Mu Yan had always lived in the countryside in his previous life, and he didn't know much about it. Even if he had enough ingredients, he couldn't make too many tricks, so the most urgent thing now is to learn more about how to make food.

"No. 5, are there any other recipes in the system? Can they only be obtained through upgrading?" Mu Yan asked while sorting out the previous rewards.

"If you are lucky in the lottery, you can get it." No. 5 replied, but the uncertainty of the lottery is too great, and the number of lottery draws is not many.

"Is this the only way?" Mu Yan was a little depressed. If he only relied on this, when would he be able to learn more and teach others, otherwise it would be just a few things, and he would be embarrassed to teach it.

Number five floated in mid-air, opened his mouth several times but closed it again, not to mention the tangled appearance of hesitating to speak.

In the end, Number Five seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Actually, there is another way to get the recipe."

"What way?" Mu Yan asked with bright eyes.

"There are recipes for sale in the system store, but our current level is not enough to open the store." Number Five said.

"When will it be opened?" Mu Yan asked hastily.

"We have to wait until the system reaches level ten."

Mu Yan looked at his current level, and then calculated the time it would take to get to the current level, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

It took only one year to advance to level five. If you want to advance to level ten, wouldn't it take another year, and this is because the previous levels are easier, maybe it will take more time then.

"Then where did we redeem the things we exchanged with points?" Mu Yan suddenly thought of the non-existent things that we exchanged with points before. If those can be exchanged, can the recipes also be used?

"The ones that are redeemed are all in the system space, which is different from the ones in the store. Although the store will also need points to be redeemed after the store opens, this point is different from the previous points." No. 5 explained, but It was a bit of a mouthful, and even I was about to get involved, "In short, when the time comes, you will know."

"However, it's not impossible to get the things in the store now, but the price to pay is a bit high." Fifth hesitated for a while and said again.

"How to do it?" Mu Yan asked hastily, as long as he can do it, he will definitely try to do it.

Now both He Jingwen and Ah Chen are working hard for the future, but he is the only one who is free every day. Apart from looking at the little balls, there is nothing to do. Even the work in the snack bar, Ah Chen Don't let him do it.

So, he wanted to do something for everyone.

"There are only three chances to get items in the store before the store has been opened, and after each acquisition, ten times the corresponding points will be deducted, and there will be additional penalties based on the items obtained, for example, if you want a recipe, Then in addition to points, you also need to learn the first ten dishes on the recipe within a month, and you have to make ten copies of each to the system. If you can't complete it, all the previous upgrades of the system will be cleared Zero." No. 5 introduced as much detail as possible

This price does not seem too serious, but in this world where there are no ingredients, it is not so easy to make the top ten dishes, at least the ingredients alone may not be able to pass. When the time comes, the front All your efforts will be in vain, and you will have to start from scratch.

Therefore, No. 5 didn't intend to reveal this method to Mu Yan at first, but seeing Mu Yan's depressed mood, it couldn't bear it.

"Yanyan, you must think clearly, if we can't find all the ingredients for these ten dishes, then we will definitely not be able to complete them, and then all our previous efforts will be in vain." No. 5 told the worst result Mu Yan, let him know about this matter, and then he can make a choice.

When Mu Yan heard this, he was a little hesitant, but he really wanted to do something for everyone, and when the shops in the county opened, they would definitely need a lot of dishes.

"When Ah Chen comes back, let me discuss it with Ah Chen." Mu Yan said

road.

Such an important matter still needs to be discussed with Ah Chen. At that time, Ah Chen can do whatever he wants, and he will listen to Ah Chen.

No. 5 couldn't help but rolled his eyes, hating Mu Yan's "regarding his husband as the sky", but unfortunately, no matter how many times he said it, the other party was still unmoved, so he simply didn't say anything. up.

Fortunately, Mu Chen also looks like a wife and slave, otherwise he would definitely try his best to persuade the little host to leave the wolf den.

"Achen, Achen, I want to discuss something with you." Seeing Mu Chen's return, Mu Yan said impatiently.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chen looked at Mu Yan with a smile, all the exhaustion on his body dissipated the moment he returned home, leaving only a deep sense of warmth.

"Achen, there is a recipe on the 5th, but you need points to redeem it, and you need to complete the first ten dishes of the recipe to get it. If you can't complete it, you will be punished. Do you think we want to redeem that recipe?" Mu Yan told Mu Chen everything he could think of.

Mu Chen touched Mu Yan's small head, motioned him not to worry, and then looked at number five.

Being watched by Mu Chen, No. 5 always had a very restrained feeling, which prevented him from being as comfortable as he was in front of Mu Yan, and hurriedly added: "This cookbook is in the system store, but the store must be at level ten. It can only be opened in the future, if you go to forcibly exchange the items in the store now, you will naturally have to pay a price, and the price of this cookbook is that if you can’t complete the task, all the levels will be cleared and restarted.”

"Is there a time limit for making the ten dishes?" Mu Chen calmly asked.

asked.

"Yes, it will be completed within a month." Number Five replied.

Mu Chen thought for a while in silence, Mu Yan has been snuggling by his side, his face is full of dependence and trust.

This is his man, only his man.

In their world, the big family affairs are generally decided by the man, and my brother will not think that the man is disrespecting him. After all, the man has more knowledge and experience than the brother, and the thinking of the times The limitation is there, it's only natural for my brother to obey the man's arrangement.

Therefore, Mu Yan more or less has some feudal thoughts of that era, but Mu Chen is not that kind of machismo. Normally, the two will discuss it, and Mu Chen puts Mu Yan's wishes first. is more common.

"So, the biggest difficulty this month is the uncertainty of the ingredients." Mu Chen pointed out the biggest difficulty of this task.

"Yes, if you can't find all the ingredients within a month, you won't be able to complete it." Number Five replied.

"What does Yan Yan want the recipe for?" Mu Chen ignored No. 5, but lowered his head and asked Mu Yan.

If this cookbook is really important to Mu Mu, he will definitely exchange it directly without further ado. As for the additional tasks, it is best to complete them, even if they cannot be completed, it does not matter, but the system level is just cleared, and it will be upgraded at that time That's it.

If No. 5 could read Mu Chen's heart at this moment, he would be very shocked, and would even silently give Mu Chen a thumbs up, and then he would be speechless.

"Aren't we going to open a store in the county town? There will definitely be more customers by then, so I want to learn how to order more dishes, and then help you share the work. You are the only one busy. It's really tiring." Mu Yan said distressedly .

Looking at Mu Chen's so handsome face that one can't help but fall into obsession, but at the moment it looks a lot thinner, his heart tightens up and down, wishing to bring all the delicious food to him.

"I'm not tired, don't forget, my body is very strong, this kind of work will not be tiring, but after the store expands, I really need some new recipes, in this case, let's exchange them." Mu Chen made up his mind. I made up my mind.

"Really? What if we can't finish it?" Mu Yan was still a little entangled and worried.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Mu Chen's deep and magnetic voice sounded softly, just like the sound of a wonderful cello. It makes people blush and heartbeat, and their hearts are as sweet as eating honey.

Mu Yan couldn't stand Mu Chen's serious love talk the most, it made him blush every time, wishing he could bury his head in the other's chest and not come out to see anyone.

"En." Mu Yan's muffled voice came from Mu Chen's chest.

Mu Chen indulged him to continue lying on his stomach, then looked up at No. 5 and asked him to exchange the recipe.

The soft, fluffy number five, at the moment, is wearing a pair of strange sunglasses on that round face, covering all the small eyes that are not big at all, obviously flashed by the loving couple in front of her. When I arrived, I could only wear sunglasses for the sake of my eyes.

No. 5 quickly redeemed the recipe from the store, threw it to Mu Chen, and flew out immediately.

If it stayed any longer, it was very worried whether it would be blinded even with sunglasses on.

Really, if you show your affection in front of children like this, are you really not afraid of spoiling it?

The system student is really lonely like snow, when will it find a system sister, and then it must blind the pair's eyes, hum!

It is said to be a cookbook, but it is really a cookbook. Except for the cover, it looks like any other book.

Open the cookbook, the first page is the recipe of a dish, and

It is not the same as the recipe for system upgrade rewards.

The recipes rewarded by the system upgrade are basically some home-cooked dishes or breakfast staples, but the dishes on the recipes look more delicate and complicated.

Mu Chen, who was exposed to such a variety of recipes for the first time, blankly flipped through the pages. Each page has a detailed introduction of a dish, from ingredients, methods to finished product appearance, taste and so on.

Mu Chen felt that a door in front of him was slowly opened. He thought the delicacies before were very good, but he didn't expect that there were even better ones.

"Ah Chen, are the first ten dishes above hard to cook?" Mu Yan asked, he was still worried about the task.

Of course, after being comforted by Mu Chen, he trusts his lover to be able to complete this task, so his worry now has changed from whether he can complete the task to the difficulty of the task.

If the task was simple, then Ah Chen would be able to relax a bit. After all, this was the result of his willfulness, but Ah Chen had to undertake it.

"It's okay, it's not difficult." Mu Chen closed the recipe and said soothingly

"That's good." Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then clicked on the system panel to check the points.

"Achen, look, the points haven't decreased." Mu Yan looked at the column of system points. In the past, whenever something was exchanged, the branches would change, but this time there was no change.

Mu Chen looked in the direction Mu Yan pointed, and the points in that column did not change. He carefully observed every place on the system panel. Since No. 5 said to use points to redeem, there must be something happening. changed.

Sure enough, soon, Mu Chen saw that the points on another points column had changed, and turned into a nightmarish negative number.

Mu Chen and Mu Yan didn't know how the points in this column appeared, because every time the task was upgraded and the food needed for the task was made, the added points were above the previous points.

"The points here are less, but don't worry, we will earn them back in the future. All these negative points will become positive, and they will become bigger and bigger." Mu Chen said with a smile.

"En." Mu Yan nodded vigorously, agreeing.

So, in the next month, the customers of Taohua Village were pleasantly surprised to find that from time to time, there would be a fresh and uneaten dish in the snack bar, and these dishes tasted more delicious than the staple food such as steamed buns and scallion pancakes. It is even more delicious, especially if it is paired with staple food, the taste can make people wish they had five stomachs, no matter how much they eat, it’s not enough, okay?

"Hey...the bosses are really good at playing. They cook delicious food in different ways. If this continues, I feel that my weight will gradually increase." A female customer rubbed her flat stomach and said Said with a worried face, but the look in his eyes did not match the words he said.

"The bosses are really amazing. There are so many delicious foods. How did they make them? I really can't even eat a bite of nutrition powder. I look forward to the opening of the snack bar every day, and then come here Enjoy it."

"Me too, me too. Even when I'm at work, I just think about what I'm going to eat after get off work, and what delicious food will be in the snack bar tomorrow."

"The people in our company are almost all loyal customers of the snack bar. In the past, when we got together, we would talk about cosmetics and clothes. Now there is only one topic, which is what is the best food in the snack bar. What else has been launched, I think if this continues, everyone will become a foodie."

The customers of the snack bar chatted with each other during their leisure time while waiting for the meal. Whether they knew each other or not, they all became friends at this moment, chatting happily without any sense of strangeness.

The first ten dishes given in the recipe are indeed as Mu Chen said, they are fairly simple, of course, this is also relative to the following dishes.

If it is compared with the previous one, it is naturally more complicated, at least each dish needs more than ten kinds of ingredients?

However, some of them have already been found, some have not, so every day, apart from the normal business of the snack bar, Mu Chen and Mu Yan still spend most of their time looking for ingredients in the forest.

However, because of the existence of Xiaolu and the identification technique, it has brought them a lot of convenience, and it is naturally more effective in finding ingredients

Therefore, Mu Chen was not so worried that these tasks would not be completed.

Zhang Mingfei and others also work very hard every day. After that day, Mu Chen will let them observe while they are cooking. It is already what countless people want but can't get, so the five of them cherish it very much.

The regular customers in the snack bar also knew that Mu Chen and Mu Yan had taken in five apprentices, that is, the five waiters back then. Suddenly, many of them were beating their chests, regretting that they didn't work harder during the interview, otherwise they might be taught by now. Among the people who cook, I can be one of them.

"Little boss, when will you still recruit waiters?" Someone asked during the meal, and everyone else listened carefully with their ears pricked up.

If you are recruiting waiters this time, even if you quit your job, you must come to apply. If you are lucky enough to be taught cooking skills like the first batch of waiters, then their future will be brighter than any other job of.

"Hmm... I'm not too sure about this, it depends on Ah Chen's intentions." Mu Yan replied holding the curious little ball.

"The little boss must inform me when he is recruiting waiters. I have a relative who really wants to come." The customer said enthusiastically.

Other customers followed suit.
