Chapter 170: Special Mission

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This 100 points process was too slow, and it was not realistic to cook a new dish every day.

She had knowledge, but her family’s conditions did not allow her to put it into practice. It was fine if she made some vegetables, meat, fish, and prawns dishes as she clearly lived in the mountains. However, she suddenly knew how to make seafood,and she had clearly never eaten a banquet, but she made it to the standard of a state banquet. If she did it too many times, wouldn’t she be treated as a monster?

Most importantly, her family could not afford those ingredients.

The space told her: [Yes, but Master, you haven’t met the special mission trigger conditions.]

Xiaoxiao asked curiously: [Special mission? What is it?]

The space said: [In order to prevent the space system from cheating in order to level up, the content of the mission must not be leaked. I can only remind the host after you fulfill the conditions.]

Xiaoxiao expressed her understanding and reached out to scoop the dog lying by her bed into the space.

[Can it grow faster if it’s placed at the ranch?]

There was no need to keep this a secret. The space gave an affirmative answer, and Xiaoxiao fell asleep in relief.

The next day was her brother’s birthday. As they had agreed to invite many guests, the house had prepared a lot of ingredients. Fresh green leaf vegetables were plucked from the vegetable garden. The bean sprouts were ready, and the tofu was also ready. They were neatly placed in the kitchen, looking dazzling and bright.

The knife in Xiaoxiao’s hand swayed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, she cut the vegetable and meat into the desired shapes. The red and green colors matched each other, making it very pleasing.

The broth had been simmered last night and was still emitting a strong fragrance in the stove. The ribs and chicken wings wrapped in sauce absorbed the broth in the basin. The golden egg liquid was stirred in a balanced manner and the cake paste was ready. Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and started to work.

Yun Yi and the rest wanted to help, but after Xiaoxiao checked their ability to start a fire, she chased them out decisively and mercilessly.

The few of them did not want to eat and drink for free, so they chopped firewood in the courtyard. One strike resulted in one piece of firewood. They made Xiaoxiao feel that she could start a fire wantonly for the next month. Yes, it was just that it took up a little space.

Today, Ning Fengnian and Ning Erlang were still going to dig the canal, so the birthday banquet was set for tonight. However, the Shen Family sent someone to deliver the ice cubes and milk that Xiaoxiao wanted early in the morning. Xiaoxiao kept the use of this thing a secret from everyone. After the processing was completed, she specially placed it in her room and made sure that her parents and brothers would not peek in.

Actually, they could not understand what she was doing. They only knew that Xiaoxiao had boiled, stirred, and cooled the milk. They did not understand what she was doing at all.

At noon, she made delicious omelet rice for everyone. The outer skin was golden, and the inside was fried rice wrapped in various vegetables and diced meat. In addition to the main dish, she also made four dishes and a soup to make up for the lack of sauce. These two words were only for herself. Yun Yi and the others were shocked and amazed by the food. They almost had the words “inexperienced” written on their faces.

Although Rong Yan acted naturally, he ate a large portion of omelet rice. If not for his elegance, he would have burped.

This meal earned another 300 points. After deducting the 200 points for the seeds, there were still 400 points left in the space. However, Xiaoxiao was not satisfied with this speed, because…

[How many points did you say you needed to level up next time?]

The space probably knew that it was difficult to support. It replied awkwardly: [50,000.]

The 10,000 points last time was all thanks to the Shen Family. This time, 50,000 points would last for a few years.

Xiaoxiao was a little melancholic. She counted the money in her hands and prepared to apply to enter the county with her brother tomorrow.

Considering that the two exquisite women, Mrs. Shen and Shopkeeper Liu, were among the people she invited today, she had to prepare Jell-O, oh no, Crystal Jelly. The May weather was already slightly hot like early summer. Xiaoxiao placed the various crystal jelly that had been refrigerated by the space processing factory on the ice cubes sent by the Shen Family to maintain its shape.

Unfortunately, crystal jelly of different shapes was judged by the space to be similar delicacies. It could only be exchanged for points once a day. Otherwise, she would be so rich.

She did not make fruit tea for today’s beverage, but the fragrance of the milk tea was even more alluring. As soon as it was ready, it attracted Big Brother to walk out of the house and say that he wanted to rest his eyes.

Xiaoxiao sensibly scooped a cup for her brother. The exam was imminent. In order to prevent embarrassing accidents like diarrhea, she firmly rejected her brother’s request to add ice and let him drink it while it was hot. Ning Dalang did not force it. He did not like sweet food, but he liked this milk tea after drinking it once. It was very strange.

The Ning Family members, who were enjoying the delicacies at home, did not forget their father and second brother, who had worked hard outside. Hence, their lunch today was enviable.

County Magistrate Shen thought for the sake of the people. In the future, the villagers who dug the canal would be arranged to be near their homes, so their families could come to deliver food as long as they didn’t find it troublesome. However, those who delivered food, whether they brought dry rations or steamed buns, had almost swallowed their shares because of the fragrance of the Ning Family’s food these days. It was even worse today. They had never heard of what the Ning Family ate. Steamed vegetable meat was placed on the golden egg skin. Everyone watched as the two people ate happily with big spoons.

Those who were closer could even see the beautiful-colored fried rice under the egg skin.

“Even landlords don’t have this kind of food, right?”

Just as he was sighing, he saw the two of them open the bamboo tube that Madam Song had brought. Immediately, an unfamiliar fragrance dissipated.

Everyone looked at the steamed buns in their bowls and felt extremely envious.

Ning Fengnian and Ning Erlang, who were surrounded by all kinds of gazes, were no longer as uncomfortable as they were at first. Now, they could eat calmly. Occasionally, they would politely invite the villagers who were close or on good terms. “Do you want to try it? Our Xiaoxiao made it.”

At first, the villagers were too embarrassed to move their chopsticks. Now, their eyes were burning. They were waiting for this sentence.

If not for the fact that the father and son ate quickly, the food might have been eaten by others even more.

After this incident, the news of the Ning Family’s daughter’s superb culinary skills spread. Along with this news getting famous in the village, the eldest branch had more and more promising days.

Compared to this, the old residence had really ruined their good days.

A busybody couldn’t help but ask Ning Fengnian, “Your family is rich now. Do you remember to be filial to your parents?”

Ning Fengnian glanced at that person. “I’ve never neglected Duanwu Festival’s etiquette. It’s all prepared according to the customs”

That person’s eyes darted around. “That’s not appropriate, right? Your family has meat every meal now. Yesterday, I heard that your second sister-in-law was just asking for a bowl of meat. You’re not willing to give it to her?” Without waiting for Ning Fengnian and Erlang to speak, someone pulled him away. “What do you know? If it were you, someone targeted your family’s money, caused you to owe 20 taels of debt and thought about exchanging your family’s things for silver for herself to spend, would you still give her meat to eat?”

“Besides, the second daughter-in-law of the Ning Family promised not to come and cause trouble for them.. Now that she went back on her word, she should reflect on herself!”
