On the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month in previous years, he would always burn three joss sticks. But today, he was probably too busy and only remembered it when he was free.
Yuan Zhou opened the door nimbly, lit the joss sticks, and inserted them into the incense burner. The smoke curled up, which was really mysterious.
The whole set of actions was smooth like floating clouds and flowing water.
Normally, the system would stay hidden at this time. But unexpectedly, the system showed up today.
The system displayed, "Congratulations, host, for triggering a side mission."
"A side mission that came out of nowhere. Little system, did you receive the joss sticks I offered? Is it enough? If not, as your host, I can still satisfy your request, "Yuan Zhou said.
The system urged, "Host, do you accept the side mission?"
"Let me see what it is." Yuan Zhou checked.
"Side mission: Please go to the temples in three places to burn joss sticks and pray for blessings within one month. (Incomplete)
[Mission tips]: The White Horse Temple in Shendu, the Cold Mountain Temple in Gusu and the Tranquil Temple in Wenling are all very efficacious places. When you pray for blessings, please say silently, "Master Master Chef System is the best. Master Master Chef System will help you become a Master Chef."
Yuan Zhou had seen through everything. This was the counterattack from the system, which could be seen from the title "Master Chef System".
The mission was actually quite normal. The system had issued similar missions a long time ago. But last time, it was in the three temples in Chengdu. This time, it was far away.
The White Horse Temple was in Yu Province, the Cold Mountain Temple was in Su Province and the Tranquil Temple was in Min Province. All of them were too far away from Chengdu.
The key was the reward of the mission, which was more abundant than Yuan Zhou had expected.
[Mission reward]: A winery, the title of Intermediate Master Brewer, the recipe of Monkey Wine
Reward tips: As a Master Chef, you need to develop morally, intellectually and physically. A winery has been prepared for you. You can brew the wine by yourself.
"System, does this winery refer to a winery workshop?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, "Yes. The winery is in Chengdu. After completing the mission, the property rights of the house and the ground will be transferred to the host."
"It can be very domineering. Then the Monkey Wine, is it the one I know?" Yuan Zhou asked the last question.
The system displayed, "Yes."
It had to be said that this reward was really attractive to Yuan Zhou. Many ancient books and novels had written about monkey wine. It was a kind of fruit wine that was fermented by monkeys in the mountains. It was only heard of, but no one had really seen it.
If he really brewed Monkey Wine, the whole of China would be shocked. After all, it was similar to a butcher dismembering an ox. Monkey Wine was also a legendary existence.
The system continued to urge, "Sir Host, would you like to accept the mission?"
"I must receive it. The reward for this mission is too great." Yuan Zhou received it first. However, what did burning incense have to do with brewing wine?
It was the same in the first year he had obtained the system. He had also obtained the Burn Incense Award. Then, he had obtained the Junior Master Winemaker Award. Now, he had obtained the Grand Prize.
The system displayed, "Little question mark, do you have a lot of friends in your head?"
"…" Yuan Zhou was speechless. The system was getting naughtier and naughtier.
Although this mission didn't seem serious, when he thought about the previous missions, it was actually the same.
The title of Intermediate Master Brewer was very useful. When he was still a beginner, he had brewed rice wine and mulberry wine. He had also learned how to bottle wine.
If he upgraded it to the intermediate level, would he be able to brew bamboo wine by himself?
"These three temples are really all over the country. If I want to go there, I have to ask for at least one day off. However, I have been asking for leave frequently recently. I can wait for the time being." Yuan Zhou took out his phone and checked the specific location of the three temples.
On the other hand, Zhong Xiaoxiao had been walking with the wind recently. No wonder she was in a good mood.
The project was coming to an end and there would be a sum of money coming into the account soon. She also had a holiday. She only needed a plane ticket to go to Chengdu for a meal. It was hard for her to be in a bad mood.
"Xiaoxiao, there are only two days left. It's already so late today. It's almost over. There are only two days left. Remember to come to me when you are free. I'll treat you to delicious food." A girl with curly hair and almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks said so.
She was petite and cute and her voice was also sweet. She had an advantage. Even if she acted coquettishly, she wouldn't make people feel bored.
It was true that one's patience was mainly related to one's appearance.
Jiang Nuan was a small assistant in this project. Rather than saying they knew each other, it was more like a foodie's resonance.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhong Xiaoxiao flew to Chengdu to buy some New Year's goods. She then had a full meal and was in a good mood. However, when she got off the plane, she received an emergency summons. Therefore, she could only bring the precious New Year's goods to the site.
Inadvertently, Jiang Nuan smelled it. Then, for the sake of delicious food, Jiang Nuan acted coquettishly and asked for half of it. Then, the friendship between the two began.
"Don't worry. After this task is completed, there will be another project in Sorcery City. It will start soon. I will probably need to be stationed here." Zhong Xiaoxiao was already used to Jiang Nuan's behavior.
"That's great. Xiaoxiao, you are so nice," Jiang Nuan said.
"Hahahaha."
The girls' bell-like laughter spread far and wide, making anyone who heard it feel like they were smiling.
"Phew …"
After a long time, the two finally calmed down. They lay on the sofa and panted. Obviously, the banter just now was very tiring.
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, are you going to Chengdu again?" Jiang Nuan asked.
"Of course. If I don't go to your restaurant during the holidays, it will be a waste of my hard work," Zhong Xiaoxiao said without hesitation.
She hadn't been to The Kitchen God for almost a month because of the completion of the project. She couldn't bear it.
"Is the food in that restaurant really so delicious? I only saw the news on the Internet occasionally about the head chef of the restaurant. He seems to be a famous chef. However, the boss is really handsome. "Jiang Nuan covered her mouth and laughed. She had seen the photos of a handsome uncle.
"Not only is he handsome, but his craftsmanship is really good. It's especially delicious. He can cook anything. He is not like a chef but more like a magician." When Zhong Xiaoxiao mentioned Yuan Zhou, her admiration was like the ceaseless flow of the Yellow River.
"It's true that he can cook delicious dishes, but isn't it too exaggerated to say that he can cook everything? There are always things that he is good at and not good at, right?" It wasn't that Jiang Nuan didn't believe it. She just corrected the common sense. After all, she mainly paid attention to the appearance when she searched on the Internet.
Ordinary people had their own fields that they were good at and not good at. No matter how famous a person was, he still had to follow the basic rules.
"Of course it's true. There is nothing that Boss Yuan can't cook. Every dish is his specialty. The taste is top-notch. Just thinking of it makes my mouth water." As a fan of Yuan Zhou, Zhong Xiaoxiao was definitely trying her best to flatter Yuan Zhou.
Jiang Nuan had never gone to The Kitchen God with Zhong Xiaoxiao even once. After they got to know each other, Zhong Xiaoxiao had only been there three times. Her position was low and she didn't have many holidays, so she couldn't go far.
Of course, it wasn't a small matter that they had been there three times in two months, especially when one was in Shanghai and the other was in Chengdu.
