I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 397

Xia Zhi took a pen and wrote on the [Temporary Certificate] in the language of his original world:

A genius chef like MasterChef!

Xiangling didn't recognize the characters; she just found them square and strange: "Is this how immortal talismans are drawn?"

"That's it."

Xia Zhi picked up the sign with the words written on it.

"Here, put this talisman on your clothes."

"Oh!"

Xiangling obediently did as she was told, but as soon as she put it on, her expression froze.

"Master!"

"Ok?"

"I suddenly feel something!"

"is it?"

"Yes! I don't know why, but suddenly I feel like as long as I put my heart into it, I can definitely make a dish that shines!"

"Then let's try it in the kitchen."

"Ok!"

Xiangling excitedly entered the kitchen.

Xia Zhi smiled.

He felt that Xiangling was quite similar to Xiao Dangjia.

Both of them came from families that owned long-established restaurants, and they both loved cooking. They went out to learn culinary skills at a young age.

Although Xiangling's talent is good, it still can't compare to the cheat code that Little Master uses.

But it's okay, he, as her master, will just copy a cheat code for her.

Xiangling has temporarily acquired the culinary talent of Little Chef, so making a golden fried rice should be a piece of cake for her.

A moment later, Xiangling came out of the kitchen carrying a covered plate, her face full of excitement.

"Master, Master!"

"How's it going?"

"look!"

Xiangling lifted the lid, and a strange light burst out from inside.

"It really is glowing!"

Xia Zhi coughed: "Master can't see it."

Xiangling said shyly, "I forgot. Does anyone want to try it?"

Everyone came over with great interest.

Zhu Zi took a spoonful and her eyes lit up: "This is the taste! It tastes just like the boss's!"

Xiangling was overjoyed: "Right! I finally succeeded!"

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "No, you haven't completely succeeded yet. You're only using the effect of that talisman right now. You need to carefully experience the state you were in when you were cooking. Only when you can make a dish that can glow without the talisman's effect will you be truly successful."

"I understand, Master!"

Xiangling nodded seriously.

"Oh, right, take this spatial ring."

"Hey?"

"This is a new employee benefit in our store, and every employee gets it. Although you are not an employee of our store, you are my apprentice and can also enjoy this benefit."

"Thank you, Master!"

At night, Xia Zhi glanced at his ample points and opened the [Shop].

He bought the remaining six-piece kitchenware set directly.

【Demon Saint Copperware】: Can speed up the processing of ordinary ingredients.

【Garuda Knife】: Specially designed for processing birds and beasts, it can completely purify food during the cutting process.

【Greedy Wolf Pot】: Specially designed for automatic processing. Simply put the ingredients in, and it will immediately complete the process, whether shredding or chopping.

【Spiritual Treasury】: Specially designed for food preservation, ordinary ingredients stored inside can remain fresh indefinitely.

【Jade Dragon Pot】: Can enhance the umami flavor of finished dishes.

【Jade Dragon Pot】: Can enhance the aroma of finished dishes.

When Xia Zhi put the eight kitchen utensils together, he heard the system's voice ring in his mind.

"All eight kitchen utensils have been collected, and the set bonus is being activated."

"The set bonus [Longevity] has been activated."

"【Longevity】: The food produced has the effect of prolonging life. During the production process, the longevity effect is enhanced by 10% for each set of kitchen utensils involved."

Looking at the system notification, Xia Zhi couldn't help but recall the relevant information from the anime.

"If a chef can master the use of eight cooking utensils at the same time, the dishes cooked using all eight utensils can grant the eater immortality."

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then took out a Sunset Fruit and cut it open with the [Eternal Spirit Blade].

After eating one piece, he immediately felt a faint life force spreading and quickly merging into his body.

Xia Zhi made a comparison and found that the vitality in this patch of sunset fruit was almost the same as the vitality in a glass of rainbow juice in the store.

And this is only made using one kitchen utensil. If all eight kitchen utensils are used, the vitality contained in the final product will increase eightfold!

These signs of life may not mean much to Xia Zhi, but they are extremely precious to ordinary people.

If these kitchen utensils were given to Xiangling and she were to use them to cook at Wanmintang, the average lifespan of people who eat at Huyan would at least double.

Clearly, [immortality] is a rather powerful trait.

However, these kitchen utensils are only of silver quality, and each piece of utensils does not possess any special characteristics.

Xia Zhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Set bonuses and such seem to have a lot of potential.

--

The next day, Ningguang came to the shop.

She told Xia Zhi that the new paper mill they had been preparing for was now operational.

Xia Zhi was a little surprised.

"So fast?"

"After all, the venue and everything else were already there; it's just that the equipment and technology have been updated."

When will the new paper be available for sale?

"There's no rush. The new factory's papermaking efficiency has increased more than tenfold. I plan to stock up on a batch of goods first, and then use a large shipment to drive down the price of paper in one go, leaving those paper manufacturers no chance to fight back."

"Hmm, what about the lipstick factory?"

"It will also start operating tomorrow."

"That's really fast."

"The online marketplace is like a battlefield; being a day earlier can mean earning twice as much money."

"Too."

"I have also completed the first draft of that 'Business Textbook'."

"Thank you for your hard work. Take this to Xia Ci and ask her to review it."

"it is good."

……

Another week passed.

Xiangling returned from the construction site and happily told Xia Zhi, "Master, I really succeeded this time!"

"Really? Give me the sign and go to the kitchen to make a dish."

"Ok!"

Before long, Xiangling came out carrying a plate of gleaming golden fried rice.

Xia Zhi tasted it and nodded: "Not bad, you really succeeded."

Xiangling's culinary skills have now reached the level of a master chef.

"hey-hey!"

Xiangling laughed, but then her expression turned a little embarrassed.
