Ranch Story: Start Over

"It will be ready soon, with some side dishes!"

"Are you sure the thorns are shaved?"

"Sure! No problem at all!"

"Serve the food quickly!"

Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

After all, today they launched ten new flavors of dishes at once, and the preparation methods of these dishes were all guided by Feng Ling himself.

Especially the sweet and sour carp, which can be said to be a real great dish.

However, since carp has too many fish bones, if it is processed in the traditional way, it may affect the taste and eating experience.

So, after Feng Ling gained a deep understanding of the sweet and sour fish cooking method in this world, he cleverly combined the unique techniques from his original world to make improvements and innovations.

Just as Feng Ling was operating step by step, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

“Maybe there are recipes specifically for sweet and sour fish that can be exchanged in the system mall?” With the mentality of giving it a try, he carefully entered his requirements into the system.

Then, four different flavors of sweet and sour fish recipes popped up on the screen - sour, salty, sweet and spicy!

What’s even more surprising is that each flavor is divided into three levels: ordinary, premium, and perfect. In this way, there are a total of 12 unique sweet and sour fish flavors to choose from!

Back then, in the original mechanical civilization world, Feng Ling was only good at the four basic flavors - sour, sweet, salty and spicy. He had never studied the advanced version. Although he was not sure what level he was at, according to the awesome master:

"Hey! You little brat, if you don't become a chef, it would be a waste of talent! But you have such strong other abilities. Look at your gifted appearance. It's really infuriating!"

However, times have changed, and Feng Ling is now in this new world full of fantasy and magic.

When he tried to skillfully integrate the mysterious magic elements into the cooking process, amazing things happened:

The system's evaluation of his fish cooking skills seemed to have suddenly lost its standards, replaced by a progress bar that kept moving forward.

After two rounds of careful preparation, Feng Ling saw that his proficiency level had only increased by a negligible 100% out of 2%. He thought to himself: It seems that if I want to achieve my upgrade goal, I may have to prepare another 100 servings of sweet and sour fish!

"Luckily, I have already mastered four unique cooking methods. If I lack one, I won't be able to activate the secret chef skill of deboning and spurring in this world. If I spend 10 merit points to exchange for this skill, I will be heartbroken!"

Feng Ling was muttering something to himself, his eyes fixed on the various and dazzling cooking techniques and skills in the system's chef list, and he couldn't help but groan in his heart.

In this system, as many as 90% of the high-level items have to be exchanged for merit points. Fortunately, only extremely rare items require the collection of special materials and a huge amount of merit points to be exchanged, which is considered to be a bit conscientious.

After all, when it comes down to it, you still have to rely on hard work to have a chance to succeed!

"Boss, can you show us the deboning and thorn removal technique again?"

Hearing the calls from several apprentices nearby, Feng Ling turned over and saw that the customer outside had ordered another serving of sweet and sour fish.

There is no way, these apprentices cannot master this skill. But for Feng Ling, there is no such trouble at all, because these purchased and activated cooking skills will automatically enter his mind.

If we have to say what is different from the original world, it may be that there is more control over magic. You only need to practice in the dream space to control it freely, and the rest is just to improve your proficiency.

Seeing Feng Ling pour down another bottle of magic recovery potion, the apprentice Xiao Liu standing beside him couldn't help but open his mouth and asked worriedly: "Boss, is this really okay for you?"

"It's okay. My body can handle the side effects of the magic potion. Don't worry."

Anyone who sees this scene will inevitably feel worried!

Even though he and others did not personally participate in cooking on the night of the Food Festival, the rumor that Feng Ling drank the magic recovery potion as if it were water had already spread.

Everyone was busy with their own work while watching Feng Ling's cooking process intently. The carp, which was originally lively and energetic, gradually became golden in color and fragrant under Feng Ling's skillful hands, making everyone present swallow their saliva again.

Noticing everyone's reactions, Feng Ling smiled slightly.

"Before I get off work tonight, I will make another portion of today's new dishes for everyone to comfort you. Look how greedy you all are."

As soon as the words fell, cheers rang out at the scene:

"Yeah! Long live the boss!"

“The boss is so nice!”

“It’s really great, the boss fulfilled my little wish!

Faced with everyone's excited and joyful expressions, Feng Ling was naturally very happy to reward everyone with these delicious foods.

In fact, it is understandable if you think about it. Whenever Feng Ling is there, the restaurant's business is always extremely hot, which can be said to be better than you can imagine.

At this moment, hearing the cheers coming from the kitchen, Lin couldn't help but smile knowingly. She knew very well that Feng Ling must have agreed to some of their requests again, and she would definitely get her share.

Both Bobri and Karin were concentrating on tasting the food. The golden and crispy food in front of them left a lingering fragrance on their lips and teeth after a bite. A sweet and spicy taste spread from their mouths. The explosive and unique stimulation to their taste buds made them unable to stop eating with their chopsticks.

"Sister Lin, are you free? Feng Ling cooks delicious food."

Popley called out to Lin.

"I want to work."

Lin gave a wry smile and spread her hands. Her helpless expression made Kallen and Popli laugh.

"Then come and eat when you're done. We'll save one for you."

"It's okay. If I want to eat it, I'll ask Feng Ling to make it."

This was nothing to Poubli, but it made Karin feel terrible. She paused, her eyes dimmed, and even her eating speed slowed down a lot.

Lin, whose mind had changed, naturally noticed Karen's change, but Lin didn't say anything more and just went about her own business.

Looking at Lin leaving, Pobley pushed the strawberry milkshake beside her to Karen and said:

"Sister Karen, this is delicious. Don't you like it?"

"I like it, but it's not mine?"

"How can it not be ours? We paid for it. We didn't steal it. We paid for it in equal exchange."

As if hinting at something, Karin looked at this innocent little sister and narrowed her eyes.
