"Um. Should I release the reward now?" Yuan Zhou raised his hand and looked at the time.
It was 16: 40. It was going to be dinner time soon. Facing the approaching time, Yuan Zhou knitted his brows, which was a rare occurrence.
The system displayed, "Release it now."
"Okay. Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
"Peng", Yuan Zhou set down the spatula that he used to practice.
The current spatula was no longer the same as it had been one month ago.
It was shiny, as if it had been coated with a layer of grease. It flashed with a dark radiance, and the iron sand inside was also shining with a black luster. They looked like black broken diamonds, which was quite beautiful.
As for the spatula, the part that was used to scoop vegetables had been sharpened by the iron sand and the spatula. It was shining with silver light like a razor blade.
This was the result of Yuan Zhou's one month of practice.
[Side Mission] Complete 60 hours of spatula tossing practice within four months. (Completed)
(Mission tips: As a candidate for the Master Chef, your spatula tossing technique is still not satisfactory. Please try your best to complete the mission. The practice time can be arranged by yourself and must be completed within the specified time.)
[Mission Reward] Cooking Method of Green Vegetables with Mushrooms (Available to be received)
(Reward tips: The hidden reward is that you don't need to worry about the strain on your wrist. The system will solve it by itself. No need to thank me.)
"Receive." Looking at the reward, Yuan Zhou said with slight excitement.
Then, the reward changed into light spots and was directly absorbed by Yuan Zhou.
However, Yuan Zhou closed his eyes and didn't move for a long time.
It was quiet in the restaurant. After quite a while, the system suddenly came out.
The system displayed, "Host, can you answer a question?"
"There's actually a day when you ask me questions?" Yuan Zhou opened his eyes and said curiously.
However, the system ignored Yuan Zhou's question and asked straightforwardly.
The system displayed, "Host, why are you so anxious to complete the mission?"
Faced with this question, Yuan Zhou fell silent for a while and didn't answer it immediately.
After quite a while, just when the system thought Yuan Zhou wouldn't answer it, Yuan Zhou uttered.
"It's rare to have you as my backup. I don't have to worry about anything. Naturally, I will try my best to complete it. Besides, this benefit is all mine." Yuan Zhou's tone was indifferent as he continued speaking.
"This is a rare opportunity. Maybe there will be a next time." Yuan Zhou didn't hide his purpose at all.
The system displayed, "Host, you are a good chef."
"Thank you for your compliment." This time, Yuan Zhou accepted the comment without hesitation.
This time, the speed at which Yuan Zhou completed the mission had truly shocked the system.
Moreover, its evaluation of Yuan Zhou's completion was "ahead of schedule and perfectly completed."
On the first day, Yuan Zhou only practiced for half an hour. According to this estimate, it would take four months to finish practicing for half an hour every day. The system only reminded Yuan Zhou, but did not give any suggestions.
The next day, Yuan Zhou practiced for an hour. That time, Yuan Zhou felt a little tired, and his arms were sore. The System also dutifully told him that the soreness would not disappear, only the strain would disappear.
On the third day, Yuan Zhou practiced for one and a half hours. His waist, shoulders and arms ached even more, but Yuan Zhou just practiced silently without saying anything.
Right after that, Yuan Zhou increased the practice time again to two hours every day. At that time, the system reminded Yuan Zhou explicitly.
The system displayed, "Host, overloading your training won't do you any good to your body."
"You will be responsible for eliminating the strain. It won't affect my body." Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
The system displayed, "Host's mental exhaustion isn't within the scope of elimination by the system."
"I know. It's just like muscle soreness." Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he got it.
Then, the system didn't say anything anymore. It just watched Yuan Zhou practice tossing the ladle for two hours every day.
Yuan Zhou opened the restaurant for six hours every day. If there were no other reasons, the time was quite reasonable. It just happened to reach the intensity of fatigue. After all, all chefs were laborious.
If he tossed the ladle for half an hour every day, he would feel a little tired and the strain would affect his body. But if he tossed the ladle for one hour every day, he would reach the degree of fatigue and the strain would worsen.
Therefore, the system would eliminate the strain.
However, it was a burden to the wrist to toss the ladle for two hours every day.
The muscle soreness needed 5-7 days to be eliminated. If he continued to practice the next day, he wouldn't get used to it and would only feel more pain, unless it was moderate. However, it was obviously not the case for Yuan Zhou.
In order to complete the task within one month, Yuan Zhou even practiced for two and a half hours every day and three hours every day, which naturally attracted the attention of the system again.
The system displayed, "Host, there are still 101 days left to complete the task."
"Thank you for reminding me." Yuan Zhou didn't react for an instant and thought the system was calculating the time for him.
Only after quite a while did Yuan Zhou react. The system was reminding him that it was still early and he shouldn't risk his life.
However, Yuan Zhou just picked up the spatula and started to practice again. The system didn't appear again.
After a sound of "Hua La", Yuan Zhou pulled the door open. As expected, there was a long line outside the door. The one at the front was still Zhou Jia.
Looking at Yuan Zhou's spirited appearance, Zhou Jia let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Boss, you look very handsome today."
Having worked for so long, Zhou Jia knew what Yuan Zhou liked to hear. With her lively personality, she would sometimes say something to make Yuan Zhou happy.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou expressed his gratitude earnestly with a manner of "You have a good eye".
However, Yuan Zhou was indeed happy. Just now, the system displayed another line of words.
The system displayed, "Host, you have exceeded the system's calculation."
"Of course. This prince charming is always so unexpected." Yuan Zhou answered silently in his heart.
The system didn't argue with him this time. After all, it had experienced many hosts.
Some were lazy and didn't work hard after getting the system. Some were stubborn geniuses. But Yuan Zhou had the perseverance and motivation of an ordinary person.
Most of the time, ordinary people really couldn't compare with geniuses. Since there was such a chance, however, Yuan Zhou naturally had to seize it. Moreover, the reward had a special meaning to him.
After returning to reality and hearing Yuan Zhou's answer, Zhou Jia got used to it. What made her happy was that Yuan Zhou finally didn't look so tired but spirited.
"Everybody, business time starts now. The first ten customers, please come in for dinner." Zhou Jia greeted the customers in the line behind her smilingly.
"Wow. Boss Yuan looks particularly spirited today." As soon as a customer entered the restaurant, he looked at Yuan Zhou and said.
"Happy events make people feel refreshed. Boss Yuan, what good news do you have? Of course, as usual …" the customer looked at the back while saying that.
The customers in the back straightforwardly chimed in, "Except for asking for leave."
"Not asking for leave. A happy event will happen tonight." It was rare for Yuan Zhou to answer.
"Is it a blind date?" The customers who were troubled by the blind date couldn't help blurting out.
"Have you thought of a new dish?" The reaction of Wu Hai was always to eat, eat, eat.
"He has thought it through and wants to go on a business trip with me." Ling Hong chimed in like a stroke of genius.
"I think he is hiring an assistant chef." This was the customer that Chen Wei kept in mind.
"No. Everybody, please order your dishes." Yuan Zhou shook his head and then said solemnly.
"Eating is the most important thing in the world. Jia Jia, please order your dishes." Wu Hai seemed to be in a good mood today. He said while stroking his small mustaches.
"Okay. Coming." Zhou Jia answered with a nod.
After recording Wu Hai's order, it was the order of other customers.
Yuan Zhou crossed his arms and stood in the kitchen earnestly while Zhou Jia was busy ordering dishes for the customers outside. It looked harmonious and beautiful …
