Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

The cold reminder did not surprise Cao Wei, or rather, it made him feel relieved.

Cao Wei's question was quite scheming.

You know, in the world of chefs, skills like "knife skills" and "heat control" are considered basic and are used in almost all cuisines. The system judges these skills to let him know how good he is. But if the prerequisites are not met, can he not learn to cook amazing dishes? The answer is no.

For any dish, there is a fixed order of adding ingredients and a way of thickening. As long as you spend some time and practice more, you will be able to master it.

Let's take a simple example. Two people memorized the multiplication table at the same time. A knew the principle, but B didn't. When they took the test, they both forgot "how much is eight and nine equal to". A, who knew the principle, could add it up little by little, while B could only scratch his head in a daze. In the eyes of the system, B's behavior of not knowing the principle is stupid.

It would not consider why Cao Wei did this, nor would it understand the impact of a signature dish on a chef.

Looking at it from a deeper level, that is to say, it is just a system. It does not understand humans. Its function is to assist Cao Wei in becoming the best chef, nothing more.

It’s not smart, but it’s still more reassuring.

He really doesn't trust those systems that can talk, complain and have their own personalities.

"System, how many emotion points do I have now?"

【point.】

Wow, Lou Xiao'e, you are really amazing.

Cao Wei was a little shocked. Before coming back today, he had specially looked at it and prepared meals for 2,000 people, but it didn't cause much fluctuation. When he came back, his emotional points were only around 2,000. This time, after all this trouble, his emotional points went straight to tens of thousands.

what is this?

A relentless emotion providing machine!

You have to serve her well. Lou Xiao'e is a rich woman, a rich woman in every sense of the word.

"System, if I want to improve my knife skills to proficiency, how long will it take to train?"

[Based on the host's experience, it takes about twelve lessons to achieve mastery of knife skills.]

"Can I only practice one class every night?"

【Yes,】

"If I practice every day, will I be able to hold up mentally?"

[After the host enters the system space, the system will help regulate the host's body. It will not make the host feel tired. ]

"Okay, I'll clean up!" Cao Wei didn't say anything. He packed up the things at home and took care of his personal hygiene. After all, he was a bachelor, so it wasn't too complicated. After a while, he entered the system training room and started today's training.

[3,000 points deducted, remaining points, knife skills training, start. ]

A flash of white light, a familiar old man, a familiar place, training, start...

"Grrrrrr!!"

The crowing of cocks was accompanied by a few curses.

Cao Wei suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed.

His mental state was not very good. Last night's knife training had exhausted him, and all he could hear were the old man's vicious words.

"Look at the way you cut it. I can just pick up a few stones and throw them at the meat, and it will be better than yours!"

"Tsk, that's it? Did you learn knife skills from a dog?"

"Oh, not bad, not bad, your knife skills are really good. Which massage parlor are you going to give massages to girls? What are you looking at! Use more force! Haven't you eaten yet?"

"..."

But this old man's fighting ability is amazing and he can't beat him. Don't ask him why he knows that. The answer is that he respects the elderly and loves the young.

A skilled knife worker does not need to be as aggressive as an apprentice. It is more about handling a variety of ingredients, slicing fish and cutting meat, etc. A series of knife skills that require skill. The old man taught Cao Wei everything. Once he did something wrong, he would start spraying poison. The poison was so strong that even Cao Wei, who had practiced kung fu, could not stand it.

However, it must be said that the gains were really great.

He was confident that if he continued at this pace, it might not take him twelve lessons to reach a higher level of knife skills.

Get your mood right and do your morning homework every day.

Lou Xiao'e rubbed her eyes in a haggard manner, walked to the dressing table, and saw herself in the mirror with dark eye sockets. She became even more depressed. She didn't know what she was doing yesterday. Why did such a thing happen? She couldn't understand it. It was clearly just a meal for someone to come to her home, just a meal, how dare he do that!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

After going downstairs and opening the door, I saw Cao Wei exercising in the yard.

She was even more furious. My goodness, last night, she, Lou Xiao'e, drank so much wine that she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. And you, Cao Wei, were practicing in the yard so early, and you looked refreshed.

"Hey!" As soon as she called out, Lou Xiao'e regretted it a little. Why did she call him? To ask him why he kissed her last night? Or to ask him why he slept so well last night? How could she say that?

Cao Wei stopped and turned his head. The morning sun shone through his body, making him look golden. The muscle lines on his upper body were barely visible under the sun and sweat. A drop of sweat slowly flowed down his forehead, slid across the tip of his straight nose, and fell to the ground. I don't know if it was Lou Xiao'e's own illusion.

She thought she heard the "patter" sound of sweat dripping onto the ground. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.

How...can it be so beautiful.

She swallowed and Cao Wei gave a sunny smile.

She couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"You, you, you, you, are you just pretending that what happened last night never happened?" Lou Xiao'e's question, which she had originally intended to ask, turned into a stuttering question. She spoke as if Cao Wei was responsible for it. She was a little flustered, and when she looked around, she found that the neighbors around her were all fast asleep, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the current situation, if someone sees me, I will be socially dead in the true sense of the word.

"Of course not." Cao Wei smiled even more happily.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e felt that Cao Wei was like a big bad wolf that was going to swallow her in one bite.

She took two steps back again: "You, don't mess around, the crime of hooliganism is punishable by death!"

Cao Wei paused, a sad expression on his face, and sighed: "Yeah, that's right." Then he said somewhat listlessly: "Then, sister-in-law, can you return the sachet from last night to me? I was planning to give it to my future wife."
