At this point, the week's settlement was over. Mo Tiankong also closed the panel. Lucky was already impatiently shouting at the side.
Including today, it had been two days since he last cooked. Since he had a rest tomorrow, Mo Tiankong tidied up and went into the kitchen.
He was thinking about what to cook today. To be honest, he wanted to eat something light, but Auspicious was a carnivore. He had no choice but to cook some meat dishes.
He opened the freezer and looked around. He bought a lot of sea animals and vegetables from the old man. He also bought some pork from other places. It was the most common Rank One monster, the Eight-Brow Pig. It had a long and narrow head, big drooping ears, and a vertical forehead. That was why it was called the Eight-Brow Pig.
In fact, because of the existence of ordinary people, there were also many varieties of Demonic Beasts that were tamed. The Eight-Mei Pig was the offspring of a low-grade Demonic Beast. It was not a Demonic Beast, but its meat was delicious and cheap. Ordinary people could afford to eat it.
He took out a big piece of pork and prepared to make Red Braised Meat. He also took out two tiger crabs, which were also not a Rank One monster, and cleaned them.
First, he cut the pork into pieces, fat and lean. Then, he poured cold water into the pot. Five minutes later, he took the pot out of the pot and washed it again. After that, he added some sugar and fried it until it was golden brown. Then, he added some seasonings. After that, he added some soy sauce and boiled the meat. Because it took a long time, Mo Tiankong started to prepare other dishes.
After cleaning the two tiger crabs, he removed the shells from their backs. Finally, he took out two seabird eggs from the freezer. After breaking them up, he poured the eggs into the tiger crabs' shells. Finally, he steamed them together.
After the two dishes were prepared, Mo Tiankong found some seaweed that looked like kelp from the old man's seaweed. He cut it into strips and blanched them. Then, he added some seasonings and stirred them.
After the Red Braised Meat was cooked, he added some salt. Then, he turned on the fire to reduce the juice. After that, Mo Tiankong came out with three dishes.
Opening the kitchen door, Auspicious smelled the rich aroma of food and hurriedly ran to Mo Tiankong's side.
"Let's eat, let's eat. Don't crowd around me. Go sit on the stone bench," Mo Tiankong said as he glanced at him.
'You're so active when you're eating. Your master has been working so hard for so long.'
One man and one beast sat around the stone table and began to eat. Although Mo Tiankong's cooking skills were terrible, at least he didn't cook anything that was burnt. Therefore, with the addition of the Delicious God of Cooking Set, it was still very delicious.
Ji Xiang, on the other hand, kept eating the Red Braised Meat. She didn't take a bite of the cold seaweed. She was a carnivore. As for the sea crab, she ate one and ate the shell of the tiger crab that held the egg. Mo Tiankong quickly snatched the other one.
'It doesn't know how to taste,' Mo Tiankong thought as he ate slowly. Auspicious's teeth were really good. It ate the shell with no adverse effects. It was still eating the Red Braised Meat.
After the meal, Mo Tiankong didn't rush upstairs. After all, he had a rest day tomorrow. After instructing Auspicious to clean up the dishes, he ran to the beach chair on the second floor's balcony and lay down. Auspicious also followed him and lay on the side.
Not opening for business tomorrow was a little cool. He could sleep whenever he wanted. However, one day a week was precious. Mo Tiankong still wanted to do something.
He had already gone to train his martial skills last week. Mo Tiankong was a person who couldn't stay idle. After all, the System directly instilled cultivation. Mo Tiankong hadn't cultivated properly once, so he didn't want to go this week.
However, if he didn't go, it would be a little boring. Was he supposed to open for business tomorrow? No, no, he only had one day a week. He could freely arrange it. He couldn't waste it.
Mo Tiankong thought for a while. He really didn't know what to do. Was he supposed to go to the Antelope Mountain Range? He was almost a Martial Emperor, but he only had a few battles. It didn't seem right.
Although opening a grocery store didn't require him to fight and kill, it wasn't good to be too useless. It was fine in the store, but if he went out and got beaten up by warriors of the same level, what should he do? Mo Tiankong also wanted to save face.
For the time being, he should train his martial skills and accumulate some battle experience. The next time he met people like Yan Xin and Yan He, the System wouldn't have to do anything. He could take care of them himself.
After making up his mind, Mo Tiankong was relieved. He had plans for tomorrow.
To be honest, Mo Tiankong was only 22 years old. He had just graduated and started working. It had only been three months since he came to the Tianxuan Continent. He was the same as most young people his age on Earth.
After work, he looked forward to the weekends the most. He didn't have to go to work during the weekends, so he could sleep whenever he wanted. As the holidays approached, he began to think about where to go this weekend to have fun and eat some delicious food to reward himself.
Another reason was that it was relatively close. Mo Tiankong wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't know where the teleportation formations were. After the Aquamarine Empire was finished, he could travel all over the empire in one day. Therefore, Mo Tiankong decided to wait.
Moreover, at this speed, the teleportation formations should be finished in a month or so. After all, there were already seven or eight cities. Of course, Mo Tiankong didn't know the specifics.
However, based on the number of teleportation arrays sold, even if the Zhang Clan and the Tang Clan wanted to set up teleportation arrays one by one, the other cities might not be able to do so. If they could find out the source of the teleportation arrays and come over to buy them, all the profits would belong to them.
However, the Reputation value was still so low. He felt that these people had blocked the news. The Aquamarine Empire had already set up about one-third of the cities, but the Reputation value was still only about 10%.
Could it be that no one was curious about the appearance of a completely unfamiliar item? Mo Tiankong didn't believe it. If it was on Earth, the detailed information would have been available in a few minutes.
The Zhang and Tang family didn't hide the news, but the news was only spread among some of the higher-ups for the time being. Most of the warriors didn't know where it came from. Moreover, after the teleportation formations were set up far away, the news spread slower and slower.
It would probably take some time. It would probably take a few months for the whole empire to know about it. It hadn't reached that stage yet, and half a month had passed since the main mission was completed.
Mo Tiankong wasn't in a hurry. There were still five and a half months. The shop's EXP would definitely be completed in advance. The System didn't accumulate EXP for the next upgrade. Wouldn't that be great?
The shop's EXP for this week was as high as 6000. It was estimated that the shop's EXP requirements would be met next week. If that happened, the transactions for the next few months would be wasted.
Thinking of this, Mo Tiankong's heart ached a little. However, he wasn't in the mood to think about this. Suddenly, he thought of something important. It seemed that he had inadvertently forgotten about it.
"System, did I not receive the free item last week?" Mo Tiankong sat up and asked the System seriously.
"Yes," the System replied.
Yes, Mo Tiankong remembered that he didn't receive the free item last week. His mother scolded him not to ask, and the System acted as if it didn't happen.
"Can I still receive it now?" Mo Tiankong asked hurriedly. Please don't miss out on a chance to earn Spirit Stones.
"No." Unfortunately, the System's answer destroyed Mo Tiankong's thoughts.
"Why? I just forgot. I didn't use the privilege I had last week." Mo Tiankong stood up angrily from his chair. However, he remembered that the System was bound to his soul. What was the point of standing up? He sat down again.
"If you don't receive the free item this week, it will be considered as giving up the chance to receive it this week," the System said calmly.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? At the very least, you should have reminded me when the time to collect the items is almost up." Mo Tiankong was still very angry. Damn, you should have at least reminded me. I'm very busy every day. How can I remember so many things?
"The System doesn't have such a service," the System replied disdainfully.
"System bro, let's talk about it. First, I'm busy with the shop, how can I remember so many things? Second, you set the weekly request, it's not good to not give it to you. Third, you didn't mention it first. Don't you think it's reasonable?" Seeing that the System refused to budge, Mo Tiankong wouldn't give up so easily. Thus, he calmly discussed with the System.
After all, one free item was worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones. If Lin Shangren and Lin Si 'er had received the Inheritance Orb when they came to buy items, they would be worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones now. Thinking of this, Mo Tiankong's heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe.
Why didn't he think of it? He even forgot about the weekly request. Actually, it was mainly because he was busy from Monday to Friday last week. First, the shop didn't restrict purchases, so a large number of warriors came to buy items. Second, it was also busy. Moreover, Mo Tiankong didn't have any special items that he needed at the moment, so he forgot about it.
"That's true," the System replied after a while.
"So, last week's reward should be given to me," Mo Tiankong was delighted when he saw that the System was moved by his words.
"But when you eat, does the System have to remind you to use chopsticks or not? What's the use of giving you last week's concert ticket this week? Face reality, host." Suddenly, the atmosphere changed, and the System's unique mocking mode was activated.
The reversal came too quickly. After talking for a long time, the System's conclusion was that it was hopeless. Wake up, don't think about it.
Mo Tiankong wanted to chop the System to death. So what if it didn't want to? Although he had never won when arguing with the System, it wasn't that he didn't want to take revenge, it was just that the time wasn't right. He was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Goodbye," Mo Tiankong gritted his teeth and said. If he continued talking, he would suffer internal injuries. Wasn't it just a chance to receive a free item? In the future, he would be the first to receive it every week.
"Bye bye," the System replied gracefully, and then disappeared without a trace.
Bye your head, I wish you to be single for the rest of your life. After thinking for a while, he felt that something wasn't right. The System didn't seem to have this function. After thinking for a while, he felt better.
The System was only good at talking. Could it fall in love, eat, drink, make friends? It was destined to be single. Only he would be merciful and chat with it.
"Hmph."
After taking back the Auspicious, he strode back to his room. It was getting late.
