One Piece of Food

Chapter 1 Food System
Mung bean powder is a kind of folk specialty food in the northern part of Qianzhou Province. It is made from rice and mung beans and processed by special folk production techniques.

The finished mung bean powder is emerald green in color, unique in taste, and fragrant. Because of the ingredients in mung bean, it has the functions of clearing away heat, relieving heat, and clearing gastrointestinal toxins.

The cooked mung bean powder is topped with chili, sauerkraut, crispy meat and other condiments, and a cup of fresh soy milk, which is the famous delicacy in northern Guizhou, "Crispy Meat Soy Milk Mung Bean Flour", which is very popular in northern Guizhou.

Rao Mingyang's breakfast shop in Mae Tan County, Zunyi City, sells this crispy meat, soybean milk and mung bean powder.

It stands to reason that the local people love to eat so much, the consumer group is very large, no matter what the business will not be bad?But now it is past 12 o'clock noon, which is the peak of eating Chinese food, but there are only two customers in Rao's famous restaurant.

But the "Fatty Fried Rice" restaurant across the road has been busy since 10 o'clock, and no one can squeeze in until now.

Without verbal description, one can see how bad Rao Mingyang's culinary skills are.

He has eaten the egg fried rice of the fat boss, it is indeed a must.Compared with the price of 10 yuan a piece, it is definitely worth the money.And even if the mung bean powder he sells is only 8 yuan a bowl, the business is bleak.

Rao Mingyang is 28 years old this year. It has been 5 years since he graduated from university, but he has never made a name for himself.Half a year ago, seeing the booming business of the "Fatty Fried Rice" restaurant, Rao Mingyang suddenly had the idea of ​​opening a breakfast restaurant and becoming his own boss.

So, Rao Mingyang rented this small storefront of more than 20 square meters and opened a breakfast shop, specializing in crispy meat, soy milk and mung bean powder, which is a gourmet dish in northern Guizhou.

He spent all the tens of thousands of dollars he had saved from working part-time by renting the facade, decorating, and purchasing various tools.

At first, the ambitious Rao Mingyang even invited a chef and two waiters.The chef is responsible for cooking breakfast, the waiter is responsible for doing chores, and as the boss, he only needs to collect money.

As a result, the chef he hired couldn't be called a chef at all, and he was not at the same level as the fat man opposite him. The breakfast he made could only be said to be poisonous, and the business was extremely bleak.

In less than two months, Rao Mingyang couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to fire all the chefs and waiters, and go to the battle himself.

Rao Mingyang, who was born in the countryside, knew how to cook at a very young age, so it is no problem to cook by himself.But his cooking skills are the same as that of the so-called chef, the food he cooks is only edible.

Fortunately, after dismissing three people, a large amount of salary expenses were reduced, and Rao Mingyang finally started to make a profit.It's just that the profit is very small, only 4000 yuan a month, which is no different from part-time work, and I am tired like a dog every day.

However, Rao Mingyang, who has been from a poor family since he was a child, is not afraid of being tired. What he hates is why he doesn't have the same skills as the fat man opposite him?

If he has the skills of a fat man, his business will improve, and his monthly income will be tens of thousands, no matter how tired he is, he will be willing!
Moreover, the business is good, the profit is more, and people can be hired. In fact, it is not as tiring as it is now.

While Rao Mingyang was looking boredly and enviously at the crowded diners at the "Fatty Fried Rice" opposite, two customers in his own restaurant stood up at the same time and shouted for the check.

Rao Mingyang hurried over to see that both of them had only eaten half of their mung bean noodles, and there was still half a bowl for him.

You must know that crispy meat, soy milk and mung bean powder are very popular in Mae Tan County, and almost everyone loves to eat them.It can make customers unable to finish a bowl of mung bean noodles during lunch and dinner, which shows the difference in Rao's famous cooking skills.

Sure enough, the two diners did not disappoint Rao Mingyang, and while paying the bill, they said contemptuously: "Boss, your mung bean noodles are too bad, you have to close the store sooner or later!"

Then, the two left the shop without looking back, showing no sign of nostalgia.

Rao Mingyang held his breath, but he couldn't attack. He could only pour all the remaining soup and noodles into the bucket of boiling water in a dejected manner.

"If only I had fat man's cooking skills!" Rao Mingyang thought in his heart.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Rao Mingyang's mind: "The gourmet system is activated...the developer's data is lost...it does not affect the function usage...bind the host...scan the host information...the host has accumulated 1372 achievement points...meet Conditions... activate the lottery function!"

Rao Mingyang was taken aback, glanced left and right and asked, "What the hell?"

Then, this voice sounded in Rao Mingyang's mind again: "The developer's information is lost, and the source of this system is unknown. If you want to know more information, please ask the host to call out the system menu with your mind to inquire."

Rao Mingyang looked at his store again, he was alone, and it was impossible for anyone else to talk in his ear.Reminiscent of the word "system" mentioned by this voice, Rao Mingyang couldn't help thinking: "Could it be that I also won the big prize and was possessed by the system?"

Rao Mingyang is a fan of novels, and usually reads online novels whenever he has time.Of course, I am no stranger to the system possession trend that has become popular in recent years.

Thinking of this, Rao Mingyang immediately called the system menu with his mind according to the prompt.

Then, a transparent blue screen appeared in front of Rao Mingyang, but it miraculously did not block Rao Mingyang's view of other things.And none of the pedestrians passing by the store had any reaction to the virtual screen in front of Rao Mingyang.

It seems that other than Rao Mingyang, no one else can see this screen.In this way, Rao Mingyang doesn't have to worry about exposing the secret.

Rao Mingyang immediately found a stool and sat down, lying on the dining table, pretending to look outside, but actually began to understand this sudden food system.

After some mental manipulation and understanding, plus the mental communication with the system, Rao Mingyang realized that the gourmet system that has lost the developer's information does not know who its developer is.Or aliens, or future humans, or gods, unknown.What is the purpose of its existence, and when did it possess Rao Mingyang?

What we know so far is that this gourmet system can only be attached to Rao Mingyang, helping Rao Mingyang become a gourmet provider and benefiting all human foodies.If Rao Mingyang dies, the food system will also disappear.

In the middle of the home page of the system menu, there is a large lottery box with plus and minus signs on both sides.The bottom of the menu shows Rao Mingyang's cumulative achievement points of 1372 and the current achievement points of 1372.

The source of achievement points is the host's various achievements, including but not limited to literacy, schooling, work, media reports, popularity, fan worship, and so on.

Rao Mingyang tried to click the + sign on the right side of the lottery button, only to see the number 1000 appeared in the lottery box.Then, he saw that the cumulative achievement point was still 1372, but the existing achievement point became 372, and the lottery box could not be added.

Now, Rao Mingyang understood that this system's lottery draw is a one-time bet of 1000 achievement points.The accumulated achievement points are his total achievement points in life, and the existing achievement points are the remaining achievement points after the lottery draw.

Now that the system has activated the lottery function, Rao Mingyang will naturally not let it go, so try it once and see what you can draw!
