Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 172 Upgrade, stay tuned!
"Master Du, don't blame me for being nosy. Everything here is good except the environment. I'll try to tidy up this yard when I have the chance. What do you think?"

"Director Feng, what you said makes me feel like I'm obsessed with money. Director Liu, your suggestion is very good. I had this plan originally. We will start the construction when the weather warms up."

Du Shaojie laughed and told him about his plan.

Feng Qingsong and Liu Ying were both very happy and thought that this young man was good and very receptive to advice.

After eating and drinking, the two said goodbye and left. Du Shaojie sent them to the entrance of Chunfeng Lane, and then they got into a jeep and drove away.

Before parting, Du Shaojie asked about his own affairs in a very vague way.

Feng Qingsong told him not to worry, as a five-good youth who fights against bad people and bad things, he would naturally not bear any responsibility. Only Dai Jianguo, because he was a repeat offender and was suspected of revenge killing, would hardly come out in his lifetime even if he stopped eating peanuts.

Only then did Du Shaojie put his mind at ease, thinking that Feng Qingsong was a good person who really got things done.

He actually had no intention of opening a "private restaurant" because it was too advanced for the time being. However, it was still good to use it as his own private kitchen, and he was willing to provide high-end services and private space for some people.

This kind of thing doesn't happen every day, just like Director Luo back then, he was only used occasionally.

After returning, he called Xiaomei and Xiaoya to help clean up. Xiaoya looked at the leftover soup and was curious: "Brother, what are these dishes?"

"Delicious food, I'll cook it for you during the Chinese New Year."

Du Shaojie got rid of his own troubles and his mind returned to reality. Look, the New Year is almost approaching.

at night.

Du Shaojie rode his bike back to the new house.

Before going to bed, he opened the light curtain with great anticipation, and a large amount of information flowed past his eyes.

In order to prepare this dish today, he used 17 redemption points to exchange for foamed sea cucumbers, fresh shrimps, fresh abalone, and a fresh mandarin fish.

[Exchange points: 2620 points\2666 points]

【Duration: 3100 hours\46996 hours】

There were 2620 points left for redemption, and 3100 hours left. He had not been lazy during this period, and the hours were consumed very quickly. He lost a lot of money, but it was enough.

Next, the system begins to take stock of the gains in recent days (including today).

He has now created more than 10 dishes that have received an “excellent” overall rating, and has successfully achieved a new achievement.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

【Level: First-class chef】

[Current works: Longjing shrimp, scallion-fried sea cucumber, others (×45)]

【Overall evaluation: up, down】

[Bonus: Simulated Chef Skills Competition Duration (2900 hours)]

[Rewards: Exchange points (290 points), simulation training time (2900 hours)]

[Special Reward: Enable the Simulation Training (Master Level) function]

Note 1: If you have 10 works that have received comprehensive evaluation (above), a special reward will be triggered. The simulation training function has a time limit, which can be obtained from the rewards of real works that have received comprehensive evaluation (above).

Note 2: Entering a simulated training scenario does not consume real time and there are no restrictions on the training content that can be selected.

Note 3: Master-level simulation training is judged and demonstrated by the on-site review team, and can also be exchanged with each other. Skill experience and simulation evaluation are synchronized with reality.
Note 4: Those who are qualified to serve as judges in the simulated chef skills competition (first, second and third level chef groups) will be disqualified from the evaluation and rewards for dishes with an overall evaluation score of “excellent” or below.

Note 5: The duration of the simulated chef skills competition and the simulated training can be used interchangeably. The system will unconditionally give away 1000 hours of universal duration every month.

Note 6: (Preview) When the bound chef breaks through the ceiling of his own cooking skills, that is, produces a dish that exceeds the comprehensive evaluation of "good", the system will open a new dish (super chef) evaluation standard.

Note 7: The mall will be upgraded from now on and will be temporarily closed. After the upgrade, the role of exchange points and duration will be strengthened. By consuming exchange points and duration, the production level of a single dish can be instantly raised to the highest level (without exceeding the ceiling of one's own cooking skills).

Note 8: The mall opening hours will be synchronized with the launch of the new evaluation standards, so stay tuned.

[Exchange points: 2910 points\2956 points]

【Duration: 8900 hours\52796 hours】

The information flow was so complex that it took Du Shaojie a while to digest it before he came back to his senses.

Achieving new achievements triggered special rewards and enabled the master-level simulation training function. At first glance, it seemed that there was nothing special, but he noticed a key point: skill experience and simulation evaluation were synchronized with reality.

What does this mean? It means that all the results of simulation training can be fully brought into reality, realizing the interconnection between "simulation training scenarios" and real scenarios.

But this does not include the acquisition of time and redemption points, both of which can only be obtained in reality.

而在模拟厨师大赛场景，他既可以参赛也可以当评委，参赛只限于特三(B3)、特二(B2)、特一(B1)厨师组，评委只限于一（A1）、二(A2)、三(A3)级厨师组。

There will be an additional 1000 hours of guaranteed working time each month, which is probably equivalent to increased benefits.

What comes next is the key point. The establishment of a new evaluation system means that Du Shaojie has completely bid farewell to the ranks of junior and intermediate chefs and entered the ranks of senior chefs.

The evaluation criteria are naturally different at different levels.

However, the launch of the new evaluation standard is also conditional. Du Shaojie must at least make a dish break through the "upper" level of comprehensive evaluation in order to achieve transformation.

The most interesting thing is the upgrade of the mall. After the upgrade, you can use the exchange points and time to exchange for the proficiency and experience of a single dish, all in one step, without the need for further training. For example, for a certain dish, he has never made it, let alone being proficient. But as long as a certain amount of exchange points and time are consumed, it is no problem to directly upgrade to the level of "upper" in comprehensive evaluation.

Du Shaojie didn't feel bad about spending some of the exchange points today. Using these exchange points on Feng Qingsong and others was more important than improving the level of a certain dish.

In fact, what she relies on most is the simulated training scenarios, which are addictive just like the computer games he played in his previous life.

The next day.

Du Shaojie went to the snack bar and started preparing for the New Year.

He promised Xiaoya, so he had to soak dried sea cucumbers and dried abalone in advance. He could buy some frozen shrimp through the Chinese restaurant channel, but there was no way to buy mandarin fish, unless he could break through the current ceiling of cooking skills before the New Year and restore the mall redemption function.

After a busy day, he went to find Su Dapeng at night.

A few days ago, we had made an appointment to go collect the debt together, but we met that mentally ill Dai Jianguo halfway and the matter was delayed.

"Dapeng, are you there?"

Du Shaojie pushed the door and walked into Su Dapeng's yard. He and Huang Tingting just came out of the kitchen.

I suspected it before, but now it is confirmed. The two of them are holding hands, and it seems that they are together.

"Shaojie, you really can't stand being talked about! I was just planning to look for you tomorrow, but you're here. Come on, come to my room, I'll give you the last bit of franchise fee."

"Manager Du"

Su Dapeng talked a lot, and after Huang Tingting greeted him, she stood quietly aside.

Du Shaojie responded one by one, and then went to his room with Su Dapeng.

"I know you've been very busy lately, so I made two trips myself. Those two guys were quite generous and didn't make me run any more. They paid the balance right away. Here, you can count it."

Du Shaojie took it, counted it, and put it in his bag.

At this point, every penny of the 50,000 yuan franchise fee had gone into his pocket.

"Dapeng, all right. Tell me the truth about when you tricked Tingting into your life."

Huang Tingting did not go into the house with them, but went into the kitchen alone to busy herself.

There were only the two of them in the room, so Du Shaojie joked with Su Dapeng.

"What do you mean by cheated? We are truly in love, don't talk nonsense."

Men and women in love are indeed unreasonable. Su Dapeng exudes the scent of hormones and is more aggressive than a male dog.

Du Shaojie couldn't stand him like this, so he took the money and left.

Neither party had made this matter clear before. In fact, Du Shaojie didn't care about Huang Tingting and Su Dapeng being together. He was not that narrow-minded.

This is true for Huang Tingting, and also for Xiao Jianjun and Dong Jun.

On the contrary, Huang Tingting felt a little nervous.

"Dapeng, Manager Du won't think too much if he knows about your relationship with me, right?"

"What's there to think about? Shaojie is not the kind of petty person. I always think that it's good to cooperate like this. What's the point of going solo and creating a secret recipe myself? Forget it."

Su Dapeng and Du Shaojie are childhood friends, and the level of trust between them has always been high.

Huang Tingting put her worries aside after hearing what he said.

During this period before the New Year, not only the snack bar, but also Su Dapeng, Wang Yuxiu and others were busy.

When Xiaomei came back from winter vacation to rest, her mother also asked her to do some work. She made [Dezhou Braised Chicken] with her every day. She memorized the whole process and knew it by heart.

Du Shaojie took Xiaoya to the streets to shop and prepare New Year's goods.

On New Year's Eve, the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner included [Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions], [Steamed Abalone with Vermicelli and Garlic Sauce] and [Longjing Shrimp].

The family sat together for the New Year's Eve dinner, and the three siblings went to find Qi Yan and ran to Liang Meiqin's house. They agreed to stay up with Liang Meiqin, but before that, they had to set off a few firecrackers in the yard.

Su Dapeng didn't come. The other party had dinner at home and then disappeared.

"It's great that you can come and accompany me! But I'm very sleepy, so you should go back and rest early."

Liang Meiqin felt very happy and even played cards with her friends today.

Xiaoya is her eyes, the two of them cooperate well and always win.

She was not greedy. She felt that she had already enjoyed herself and did not want to waste other people's time.

"Okay then, Mikoto, go to bed. We should leave too."

Du Shaojie, Qi Yan, Xiaomei and Xiaoya said goodbye and left. Liang's mother accompanied them to the door, her eyes full of gratitude.

Qi Yan, who was still not satisfied, took the three siblings to her home. She just wanted to play cards, which is also a traditional program for the local New Year.
