Brush Up Your Proficiency

The next six days flew by. Every morning, Wang Hao would get up early and go to "Shi Wei Tian," spending an hour reading "Lao Zhuang" to improve his Reading skill.

Afterward, he would go to the kitchen and carefully guide and advise the kitchen staff.

Once the pressure from outside orders lessened, he would seize the opportunity during this brief lull to continue practicing his Reading skill.

When "Shi Wei Tian" closed for the day, Wang Hao would return home as if nothing had happened, chatting with his sister about recent events before retreating to his room to immerse himself in the wonderful world of "Lao Zhuang."

In this manner, his days were both busy and fulfilling.

During this period, Wang Hao averaged around 900 overflow proficiency points each day.

After six consecutive days of tireless effort and accumulation, he now possessed a staggering 7640 overflow proficiency points! This was equivalent to over seven hundred proficiency points for other skills!

It was enough to raise a beginner skill to intermediate level and advance its progress by more than half.

At the same time, thanks to his recent habit of studying "Lao Zhuang" whenever he had free time, his Reading skill had also made significant progress, currently standing at 651 points.

Especially after his meticulous guidance of the kitchen staff in the first two days, they seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, with their culinary skills taking a qualitative leap.

They were now able to handle the surging tide of customers with ease and grace.

Seeing this, Wang Hao was naturally overjoyed. With the pressure greatly reduced, he was even able to free up about two hours of precious time each day to focus on improving his Reading skill.

Coupled with his original reading sessions in the morning and evening, Wang Hao could now spend a total of four hours each day honing this skill.

What delighted him even more was that the proficiency points he gained increased by one point roughly every two days. Now, reading ancient texts for an hour yielded 24 points, greatly accelerating the progress of his Reading skill.

Wang Hao also recorded his real-time skill proficiency information using the system's information panel function.

Skill Proficiency Status:

Advanced Cooking: 10000 / 10000

Advanced Erhu: 60 / 10000

Intermediate Reading: 651 / 1000

System Functions: Mind Reading, Star Shift (Pending Activation)

A closer look revealed that the Reading skill had already surpassed halfway towards the proficiency required to reach advanced level. Wang Hao was just waiting to inspect the kitchen's results today, and if he was satisfied, he could concentrate on practicing his Reading skill in the office.

Based on the current rate of 24 proficiency points per hour, it would take Wang Hao at most two days to bring his Reading skill to advanced level, at which point he could unlock a new skill.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

That day, as Wang Hao stepped through the antique doors of "Shi Wei Tian," it felt as if time itself paused for a moment.

The originally bustling atmosphere inside the restaurant instantly became much quieter, and everyone's gaze converged on him.

Their eyes revealed curiosity, expectation, and a hint of awe, because everyone knew that today was the crucial moment to witness the results of Wang Hao's guidance.

It should be known that the news of Wang Hao personally teaching the kitchen staff had already spread throughout the entire restaurant in recent days.

Whether it was the receptionists or the servers in various positions, they were all talking about this matter with great interest.

And those kitchen staff who had the good fortune to receive Wang Hao's guidance seemed to have been injected with boundless vitality. The dishes they cooked were also becoming increasingly close to eighty percent of Wang Hao's level.

Whenever a dish that was increasingly appealing in appearance, aroma, and taste was brought to the customers' tables by the serving staff, it would elicit a chorus of heartfelt exclamations.

Customers raised their thumbs in unison, praising without reservation: "Every dish here is simply a masterpiece!"

The feedback from the customers clearly showed that the kitchen staff had made significant progress.

"Wang Hao, I heard that today our restaurant is relying entirely on those people in the kitchen? You absolutely can't neglect my and Nan Nan's meals!"

Cheng Yufei caught sight of Wang Hao walking over from afar and immediately feigned anxiety, rushing to meet him in a few steps. Her delicate face was filled with unwillingness, and she pouted as she asked.

You should know that her primary goal in opening this restaurant was to be able to taste the food cooked by Wang Hao himself.

If Wang Hao only occasionally didn't cook a meal or two himself, that would be fine, but if he never cooked again, wouldn't she be in a situation where she had nothing to eat?

Although Li Qiang and the others' cooking skills were now passable, enough to fill one's stomach, how could it compare to Wang Hao?

However, as the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Since tasting the delicacies made by Wang Hao, Cheng Yufei and Nan Nan's tastes had obviously become extremely picky. When they ate food made by others, they always felt that it was unsatisfactory and tasteless.

At this moment, Wang Hao gazed at Cheng Yufei's slightly dissatisfied and somewhat nervous expression, his lips slightly raised, revealing a comforting smile, and he responded softly:

"Don't worry, I didn't say I'm completely giving up. Whenever there are customers with special requests, I will definitely still cook, and of course, special customers naturally include the two of you."

After hearing Wang Hao's words, Cheng Yufei's heart seemed to be instantly lit up by a bright light, immediately becoming clear and bright.

Her originally tense face also relaxed, turning into a bright smile, and then she quickly added:

"And also, also my parents and Nan Nan's parents! The health-preserving delicacies you make have such magical effects, they must eat more of them!"

"That's natural, I will naturally not forget the four elders," Wang Hao readily agreed, his tone filled with course.

After all, he could clearly feel the kind and friendly attitude of both families' parents towards him, and they had also helped him a lot.

Cheng Yufei's parents helped him with his work, and Li's parents, needless to say, the ancient book they sent was too significant for him.

If it weren't for this set of ancient books, improving his Reading skill would really be a headache.

Preparing some meals for them was just an easy task for him, and it wasn't a difficult matter at all.
