Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Xu Changping pushed his bicycle back to the east courtyard, locked it, picked up the unconscious calico cat, and opened the door.

After he washed and changed his clothes, he looked at Sanhua lying there motionless and called up the system in his mind.

"System, are you there?"

"Host, hello, 101 is online at your service."

"Um, what should we do with this three-flower skin of the small system? Just leave it like this?" When Xu Changping heard that it was 101, he knew that his small system had not returned yet, so he had to ask patiently.

"Host, you can put it into the system space." 101 said emotionlessly.

"Okay, thank you." Xu Changping quickly thanked 101 and put Sanhua into the system space.

"Host, you're welcome."

Now Xu Changping stopped talking. He had discovered a long time ago that no one knew who designed the program in this system, and the last sentence must come from the system, otherwise it would keep talking to you.

After sitting quietly for a while, Xu Changping completed all the tasks he had assigned to himself and clicked on the basic cooking skills.

I originally thought it was a one-on-one online teaching, but I didn't expect that he would be pulled into a scene all of a sudden.

This place looked like an ancient kitchen. As soon as he entered, he was assigned the task of peeling potatoes.

When Xu Changping saw the two large baskets of potatoes, he wanted to quit teaching.

Unexpectedly, a sentence popped up in front of me, asking the host to complete the task of peeling potatoes.

Well, it seems that he is stopped here. I don’t know what’s going on with this system. Is learning cooking different from other things?

There was no other way, he could only take a peek at the apprentice next to him, pick up a thin piece of wood next to him and start scraping the potatoes.

After finally finishing scraping one, Xu Changping first looked at the indication above his head, then looked down at the remaining two baskets of potatoes, and continued scraping with tears in his eyes.

Fortunately, there was no one supervising him while he was peeling potatoes here, so when he was really tired, he could secretly take a break.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Xu Changping felt that both of his hands did not belong to him, he finally finished scraping both baskets of potatoes.

Looking at the results of his labor and then at the person next to him who was still peeling potatoes, Xu Changping said to himself, I want to go out.

After a moment of distraction, Xu Changping regained consciousness in his room in the courtyard.

Looking at his fair hands, Xu Changping couldn't help but rub them hard. Although there were no traces of blisters on his hands, he could still feel a slight pain.

After rubbing his hands for a while, Xu Changping looked up at the time. He was shocked.

He had just calculated silently in his mind that he should have been scraping potatoes for more than three hours, but he didn't expect that only ten minutes had passed in reality.

This time he lost his composure and shouted out 101 directly.

"System, what's the matter with the elementary cooking skill just now? I have learned skills through one-on-one individual teaching before."

"Host, that is my built-in function. You will learn these courses in one-on-one instruction."

"Uh, why is that little system different from yours?"

After Xu Changping finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself. He remembered that the system had said that 101 was a very advanced system, so it was not normal that it was more powerful than his own small system.

"Host, this is a function that only comes with advanced systems."

Sure enough, 101's words were exactly what he thought. Xu Changping suddenly had an idea and asked:

"101, can I still go in and study now?"

"Host, yes. If you feel that you lack energy, you can buy energy potions in the system mall." 101 replied considerately.

When Xu Changping heard 101 say this, he immediately clicked on the basic cooking skills.

Since 101 said that all entry-level cooking courses were the same, if he waited for the mini-system to come back to learn, wouldn't he have to peel potatoes for more than three hours in reality?

It would be better for him to take some accelerated courses while 101 is still available and learn all the time-consuming basic knife skills.

Xu Changping did it as soon as he thought of it. With the help of the energy potions in the system mall, he learned the basic knife skills in one night.

If he hadn't had some basic carving skills before, he wouldn't have been able to finish it so quickly.

Looking at the dim light outside, Xu Changping exited the system space with some regret. It was almost time to go to work, so he had to change his clothes and go.

When they arrived at the office, Xu Changping whispered to Zhou Fangfang, "If you are not too busy today, don't divert patients to me."

Zhou Fangfang glanced at the people in the office and found that no one noticed this, so she nodded slightly and said nothing.

Xu Changping looked at Zhou Fangfang with satisfaction, went back to his desk, changed into his white coat, sat on a chair, picked up a book, and entered the elementary cooking class.

It was still the familiar big kitchen. This time he chose the white pastry and automatically put on an apron as he came in.

An old man in an apron said to him in a gloomy tone:

"Today we are learning how to knead dough. You scoop out the flour first."

"Okay, Master."

It was the first time that Xu Changping knew that flour, water, yeast and other materials could undergo so many variations depending on their proportions.

It took him the whole morning just to knead the dough.

He didn't go to the cafeteria at noon. He asked Zhou Fangfang to get him a meal. After taking a bite, he went back to studying.

Xu Changping estimated that his small system should be back tonight, so he had to study every minute.

In the afternoon, he began to learn techniques such as kneading, rubbing, rolling and baking, turning ordinary flour into exquisite pastries.

After working hard, Xu Changping finally learned all the techniques of case-solving before getting off work in the evening.

It’s not that he didn’t want to continue studying, but he had consumed 20 energy potions in that one night and one day.

Now he is very exhausted, and 101 has even banned the sale of energy potions.

Xu Damao saw from a distance that Xu Changping was riding a bicycle in front of him, and he thought he was just playing.

Unexpectedly, when I got closer, I saw two big dark circles under Xu Changping's pale face.

Seeing him like that, Xu Damao didn't dare to say hello to him, and was afraid that something might happen to him after falling, so he just followed him silently.

As a result, Xu Changping didn't notice his presence until they reached the courtyard. Seeing Xu Changping get off his bicycle, Xu Damao spoke up:

"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah! Brother Damao! When did you come back?"

Xu Changping's reaction was a little slow at this moment. After hearing Xu Damao's voice, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"I've been following you..." Xu Damao wanted to say that he had been behind him, but when he saw Xu Changping's expression, he said, "Well, forget it, you should go home and have a rest."

"Then I'll go back first." Xu Changping didn't have the mood to chat with Xu Damao at the moment. He just wanted to go home and sleep quickly.
