Unexpectedly, the system has such a function, and Ye Changqing couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
After the initial shock, he took down a piece of Red-Spotted Pig meat, chopped it up, and began to fry the sauce.
The key to braised noodles lies in the sauce, which determines the taste.
With the system's reward, Ye Changqing was already well-versed in making this dish, and more than that, the system could even provide tips during the process.
For example, the heat, the timing, and so on.
Soon, a pot of aromatic minced sauce was ready, and smelling the fragrance, Ye Changqing couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Next was cooking the noodles, which was simple. After the water boiled, he added the noodles, then added cold water three times to make them more chewy.
Once the noodles were cooked, he poured the minced sauce over them and sprinkled some green onions. At this moment, a petite little lolita appeared in the courtyard without him noticing.
With a slightly chubby face, pink and adorable, she looked very cute. However, her eyes were fixed on Ye Changqing, or more precisely, on the large bowl in his hand.
"It smells so good. What are you making?"
She quickly approached Ye Changqing and asked.
"This is called braised noodles, and by the way, you're drooling."
Seeing the drool at the corner of her mouth as she spoke, Ye Changqing said helplessly.
"Oh, sorry, it smells so good I couldn't help it, I'm really sorry.
Um... could you make a bowl for me? I really want to try it."
We are "pawread.co𝑚", find us on google.
Seeing her pitiful expression, her big eyes full of pleading, it seemed she was about to cry for a bowl of braised noodles.
Seeing this, Ye Changqing smiled slightly and handed over the bowl.
"I haven't eaten yet, if you don't mind..."
"I don't mind, I don't mind."
Before he could finish speaking, the bowl was snatched away so quickly that even Ye Changqing didn't see it clearly.
Having never eaten braised noodles before, the little girl didn't even mix them, just picked them up and ate. Even so, she couldn't stop praising the taste.
"Delicious, delicious..."
Ye Changqing was puzzled. Could plain noodles really taste that good?
"You're eating it wrong, you should mix it first, blend the sauce with the noodles."
Unable to watch any longer, Ye Changqing offered guidance.
Finally, under Ye Changqing's personal demonstration, the little girl learned the correct way to eat the noodles. After mixing, when she took a bite, Ye Changqing seemed to see a flash of light in her eyes.
Then she devoured the noodles like a storm, her seemingly small mouth turning into a bottomless pit.
"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you, eat slowly."
Not knowing who this little girl was, Ye Changqing just smiled at her behavior.
As a chef, seeing someone enjoy what he made was naturally gratifying.
"I %&&&…%&"
Unable to understand what the little girl was saying, Ye Changqing smiled and went back into the kitchen to cook more noodles.
Braised noodles are convenient as long as you have the sauce.
When Ye Changqing came out with another bowl, the little girl had finished eating, but her eyes immediately locked onto the bowl in his hand.
Her face turned slightly red, but she couldn't help but ask.
"Could you make me another bowl? It's just too delicious."
Recalling the taste from earlier, the little girl couldn't resist, it was the first time she had tasted something so delicious.
Seeing this, Ye Changqing smiled.
"Give me the bowl."
He had cooked extra earlier, and upon hearing this, the little girl happily handed the bowl to Ye Changqing.
Afterward, the two of them, one big and one small, sat side by side at the kitchen door, slurping noodles.
Ye Changqing ate normally, but the little girl could only be described as ferocious.
"It does have some effect on enhancing physique, but it's not significant, you wouldn't notice if you weren't paying attention."
With the system bound to him, the food Ye Changqing made had special effects, but the effect of the braised noodles wasn't significant.
The taste was alright, but Ye Changqing wouldn't exaggerate like the little girl.
After eating two large bowls, the little girl patted her full belly and sheepishly said to Ye Changqing.
"I don't usually eat this much, it's just that what you made was too good, I couldn't help myself."
An unconvincing explanation, but Ye Changqing didn't mind.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, as long as you like it."
"Of course I like it, it's the best thing I've ever eaten, but can I come back again?"
Perhaps worried she wouldn't be able to eat it again, the little girl asked Ye Changqing anxiously.
Ye Changqing found it odd, this was the kitchen of Divine Sword Peak, why wouldn't she be able to come?
"This is the kitchen of Divine Sword Peak, it's meant for cooking for the disciples here, you can come anytime."
Hearing this, the little girl was stunned, but then she laughed foolishly.
So this was the kitchen, she hadn't known before.
"Then it's settled, I'll come every day from now on."
In high spirits, the little girl left this message and hopped towards the door, but just before leaving, she turned back to Ye Changqing and said.
"By the way, my name is Lu Youyou, thank you for the braised noodles."
With that, she ran off.
Having never heard this name, Ye Changqing didn't mind, but just after Lu Youyou left, the system's notification sounded.
[Ding, received one positive rating from Lu Youyou, current progress 1/100.]
[Reward: Talent increased by 1 point, Cultivation Level increased by 1 point.]
The so-called progress refers to the positive rating. Once a hundred positive ratings are reached, other dishes can be unlocked. After all, as a chef, it's impossible to have only one dish.
Just one bowl of braised noodles wouldn't be enough for a feast.
As for the increase in talent, Ye Changqing didn't feel anything special.
"System, display personal panel."
[Host: Ye Changqing.]
[Identity: Menial Disciple of Dao Yi Sect.]
[Cultivation Level: Body Refinement Realm Beginner. (81/100)]
[Prestige: Unknown.]
[Talent: Low-grade Mid-level (51/100)]
[Constitution: Low-grade High-level (30/1000)]
[Comprehension: High-grade Mid-level (20/100000)]
Except for comprehension, talent and constitution were quite poor. The point of talent just rewarded had already been added.
"Comprehension should have improved after I transmigrated."
Comprehension was already above many people, enough to be considered a genius.
But having comprehension alone wasn't enough. It's like understanding the content of a technique but being unable to practice it, what use is that? Just to look at it?
The road ahead is still long, but with the system, Ye Changqing felt confident.
He planned to stay low-key in Dao Yi Sect for a hundred or eighty years, and by then, with improved talent and constitution, he would be a prodigy.
The only downside is that the higher the grade, the harder it is to improve. For comprehension, it now required a hundred thousand points to advance.
However, Ye Changqing wasn't the type to rush things. He was content to take it slow. With the system, at least bottlenecks wouldn't be an issue, it was just a matter of time.
And in Dao Yi Sect, there was no need to worry about any danger.
