Magazine turned on the faucet and gulped down numerous water. Then, holding onto the sting of the sink with each arms, he took a breath and felt alive once more. He’d been already thirsty when he wakened, and as a substitute of ingesting some water, he ate that pancake, so he virtually choked to demise. His throat was nonetheless burning even now.

If it had been his earlier life, he would have written a denunciation 1000’s of phrases lengthy and compelled shut the restaurant for good. How may anybody eat this?!

Earlier than he knew it, Amy had already come to him. “Father, are you all proper?” Amy requested worriedly, tugging on the nook of his garments.

“Sure. Father’s okay. Simply choked somewhat.” Magazine seemed down at Amy instantly, reached out to stroke her hair, and put a smile again on his face once more. Being concerned about and relied on like this warmed his coronary heart, and his resentment in direction of the pancake abated lots.

He was only a regular father now, and didn’t wish to undergo the issues that he did in his earlier life. He didn’t wish to journey once more.

Letting out a breath, Amy appeared to have relaxed lots, after which she reproached him with a grim look. “Father, you need to eat slowly. Pancakes are good, however you’ll be able to’t rush. Eat little by little, and then you definitely received’t choke.”

“Sure, Amy’s proper.” Magazine nodded earnestly as he seemed into Amy’s eyes. Then, the toddler went again to her seat contentedly.

Magazine didn’t exit directly, however took a detailed take a look at the kitchen.

The kitchen was formed like a strip and had an space of 10 sq. meters or so—it was pretty spacious. On the cooking bench had been 4 built-in fuel stoves, and there was additionally a silver side-suction vary hood and a giant four-door fridge.

This was a really skilled trendy kitchen, however most area was nonetheless vacant. There was just one broad Chinese language chef’s knife on the knife block, and the likes of pots and pans had been nowhere to be discovered.

“System, did you overlook to rearrange the home equipment and kitchenware when adorning? The fridge can also be empty.” Magazine closed the empty fridge. His concept of cooking one thing random fell by way of.

“The host has no proper to make use of these home equipment now,” the system answered. “When missions are accomplished, they are going to be unlocked one after the other. For now, solely the required elements for the recipes that the host has discovered will probably be supplied, and so they must be purchased first to make use of.”

Magazine froze for an on the spot, however he had no selection. The system actually goes out of its technique to make me study to prepare dinner… it looks like there isn’t any technique to get one thing else to eat at this time, and the system stated the elements must be purchased, so may it’s that it’s going to provide all the required elements?

Magazine did a lap across the kitchen, and when he was sure there was nothing to eat right here, he may do nothing however pour two bowls of plain boiled water and stroll out. It seemed like finishing missions sooner was very needed, or all of this was wasted right here.

Apart from, after making an attempt that horrible pancake, he couldn’t wait to eat Yangzhou fried rice. Whether or not giving Amy an opportunity to attempt the scrumptious meals from the earth or conquering this world with the Yangzhou fried rice, it was an fascinating concept.

Magazine went by way of his predecessor’s recollections once more. As a result of the struggle amongst species lasted for a thousand years, the human meals right here was a bit like English delicacies, whose cooking strategies had been easy and crude—boiling and baking.

No seasoning was added throughout cooking. Individuals would simply sprinkle some salt or pepper earlier than consuming based mostly on their style. It was only for appeasing starvation and balancing diet. In spite of everything, within the instances of struggle, one couldn’t ask an excessive amount of.

Though the cooking right here had undergone sure growth by way of 100 years of peace, these cooks’ thoughts had been so bigoted that even when they’d tried to enhance, their recipes had been nonetheless too easy, and few cooking strategies and dishes that had been refreshingly spectacular had ever appeared.

Even the food-loving people had been this lame in cooking, to say nothing of different species. Elves mainly lived on varied wild fruits from nature, dwarves ate extra randomly—something cooked would do, and demons and orcs even ate their prey alive…

Magazine curled his lip. It’s like an uncultivated land of connoisseur meals, ready for me to domesticate it.  Amy wolfing down the pancake with two arms, a mild smile appeared on his face. He had little curiosity in nice causes like bringing the meals tradition to the lots, however he needed Amy to eat precise good issues and have a snug life, so studying to prepare dinner was not too exhausting to simply accept for him.

Magazine was actually hungry, so he needed to soak the pancake within the water and watch for it to melt earlier than consuming. He may barely swallow it.

Amy’s tooth had been excellent, and the pancake cracked merrily in her mouth. She completed it in just a bit whereas, after which she picked up the bowl, drank a mouthful of water, and gave a content material burp. Watching Magazine consuming the pancake mush with chopsticks, she smiled fortunately. “Father, the pancake could be very tasty, proper?”

Magazine shook his head, evenly touched Amy’s cute little nostril together with his hand, and smiled. “I received’t say it’s very tasty, Amy. It’s simply one thing that may barely appease our starvation. Sometime, I’ll make you the Manchu Han Imperial Feast[1.Manchu Han Imperial Feast consisted of at least 108 unique dishes from the Manchu and Han Chinese culture during the Qing Dynasty.], only for you. You possibly can eat as a lot as you’ll be able to.”

“Manchu Han Imperial Feast? Is it actually tastier than the pancake?” Amy’s eyes had been shining with pleasure, however then she appeared somewhat fearful as she checked out Magazine. The meals Father has made earlier than tasted bizarre. Is Father actually capable of make one thing a lot a lot better than the pancake?

“Certain!” Magazine nodded earnestly. “And Manchu Han Imperial Feast shouldn’t be one dish; it consists of 108 dishes of assorted unique meals from mountains and seas. It will probably final you three days in a row.” He may guess what was in her thoughts—apparently, the pancake was the very best factor in her eyes. His predecessor’s cooking expertise had been as disappointing as his, and will need to have left a foul impression on her.

“108 dishes of assorted unique meals from mountains and seas?” Amy counted on her fingers, making an attempt to image the desk full of higher issues than pancakes; furthermore, it may final three days! Her eyes turned brighter and brighter, and her face was pleased with a smile. She jumped off the chair, checked out Magazine, and cried out fortunately, “Wow! Amy desires to have the Manchu Han Imperial Feast! Make me the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, Father! Amy desires it now!”

“Um…” Amy’s eyes stuffed with anticipation, Magazine felt somewhat embarrassed—he couldn’t even make the Yangzhou fried rice now. Nevertheless, he had the God of Cookery Cultivation System on him, so the Manchu Han Imperial Feast can be nothing to him sooner or later. Nonetheless, he felt like he had bragged somewhat too quickly as he watched his little lady’s keen face.

“After all Father additionally desires to make it for Amy, however our restaurant shouldn’t be open but,” stated Magazine apologetically, stroking Amy’s hair. “There aren’t any elements within the kitchen, so I couldn’t make so many good issues.”

“Nicely…” Amy was somewhat dissatisfied, however rapidly raised her head once more. She took maintain of Magazine’s large hand, patted it on the again, and stated soothingly, “It’s all proper, Father. The meals you cooked earlier than was good too. When Amy grows up somewhat, I can go earn a living and purchase numerous good issues for Father to allow you to make the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.”

Out of the blue, Magazine felt somewhat saddened as he checked out Amy’s earnest face. He sniffed after which shook his head with a smile. “Father is totally different than prior to now. Being profitable to help our household is of course my accountability, and I’ll make the Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you as I stated. It’s our little settlement. I promise.” Then he held out his little finger.

Amy seemed up at Magazine and blinked her eyes. It appears at this time’s Father actually is totally different. His picture appears to have change into greater and kinder. She checked out that little finger, held out her personal to intertwine along with her father’s, after which stated fortunately, “Okay. Amy’s certain Father can do it.”
