Zhu Zi asked hesitantly, "Are we going to have instant noodles again tonight?"
"Very likely."
"This can't go on."
"Although instant noodles are delicious, no one can stand eating them every meal."
"..."
Everyone looked over at once: "Boss! Say something!"
"We're entertaining guests tomorrow, so I'll cook a big meal for you."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, I have confidence in Xiangling's abilities. She should be able to finish the recipe in two days at most."
"What if Xiangling doesn't finish?"
"It doesn't matter, I will take action."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, they ate instant noodles again that evening.
Ms. Gan Yu finally managed to come to the store on a Friday and ate vegetarian noodles with everyone.
Although she seemed to enjoy the food.
After all, Xiangling is now a master chef. She can't compare to Xia Zhi, but at least her meals are better than those at Yuehaiting.
It's only because the people in the restaurant are used to eating dishes made by master chefs every day that they feel even the dishes made by master chefs don't taste good anymore.
At one point, Xia Zhi got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Xia Ci was slowly picking up a noodle with her chopsticks when she saw this and her eyes lit up. She immediately called out, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
"Go and make papaya soup for Master Hu."
"I want to drink too!"
"what do you drink?"
"It's that kind of white, thick..."
"alright."
"Cousin, I want a drink too!"
Xia Zhen also called out.
Cousin, you're quite grown up; you absolutely don't need to drink this kind of medicinal diet.
However, she is currently in ghost form, so drinking it won't have any effect; she can only taste the flavor, which is fine.
"well."
Xia Zhi felt a little helpless. He then looked at the other girls next to him from his omniscient perspective and saw that they also seemed to be interested.
"I'll stew some more papaya soup later. Anyone who wants to try some, please help yourselves."
"Okay! Thank you, boss!"
Xia Zhi went into the kitchen to start preparing.
Diona bought the papaya from the market that morning; it was only enough for the three of them. Now everyone wanted to drink soup, and this amount of ingredients was clearly not enough.
It was already quite late, and it would be too much trouble to go out and buy something else.
Just spend real money.
I remember browsing through the [Shop] before and seeing a special ingredient that seemed to have magical effects in that area.
Let me see... I found it.
A string of product information appeared on the system panel.
Marshmallow Melon
Quality: Gold.
Type: Consumable.
Characteristic: Abundant.
Effect: This sweet fruit, like a marshmallow, can help you achieve a more perfect figure after consumption.
Hidden effect: When eaten with other desserts, it can slightly enhance the effect.
Price: 150 points.
This is it.
Xia Zhi bought it and took it out of his inventory.
A snow-white sphere, resembling a cloud, appeared in his hand.
It has a sweet and refreshing scent.
It made him feel like he was a soft, fluffy marshmallow.
Guoba, who was wearing black gloves and helping to chop vegetables in the kitchen, immediately looked up and made an excited sound.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"
Xiangling was kneading dough when she heard the sound and looked over, noticing what Xia Zhi was holding.
"Master, what are you holding in your hand?"
"pawpaw."
"Is this what a papaya looks like?"
"A new variety."
"Oh!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Guoba's voice became a little anxious.
"Master, Guoba says it wants to eat."
"You can't just eat this... but the rice crust should be fine. Don't worry, I'll let you try it later."
"Woo!"
“Master, it said thank you.”
"A foodie."
"I want to eat, too!"
"Two foodies."
"hey-hey."
Xia Zhi walked to the other side, picked up the [Eternal Spirit Knife], and cut the [Cotton Candy Melon] open.
Inside, it was molten; a milky white, viscous liquid flowed out from the cut, like melted syrup, emitting an unusually sweet smell.
Tonight I'll use this instead of the traditional papaya soup.
Xia Zhi stretched out her finger, dipped it in the fruit juice, and put it in her mouth to taste it.
With his master-level sense of taste, he instantly grasped the nature of this ingredient. After a moment's thought, a brand new vegetarian recipe based on it appeared in his mind. Then, he began a series of smooth and effortless cooking operations.
Xiangling had long since stopped kneading the dough and stood to the side, watching her master cook with eyes full of admiration.
As for the rice crust, it had somehow appeared beside the cutting board and was now sticking out its tongue, diligently licking the milky white fruit paste that had dripped onto it when Xia Zhi cut open the "Cotton Candy Melon".
"Cookba!"
"Woo?"
"How many times have I told you? You're not allowed to eat random things!"
"Woo!"
"What waste? That won't do either. Come back."
"Woooo..."
Guoba glanced back at the cutting board that he hadn't licked clean yet, and reluctantly returned to Xiangling's side.
Xiangling reached out and pinched its face in an annoyed manner.
She was suddenly stunned because she found that Guoba's face felt much better to the touch.
It feels like the fur has become softer and smoother.
"Woo?"
"do not move!"
Xiangling patted Guoba's belly again.
The fur on its belly seems to feel even more comfortable to touch now.
