Brush Up Your Proficiency

Wang Hao and his sister carefully selected several suitable clothes for their parents in the shopping mall, and also bought them each a mobile phone.

However, they were worried that if they continued shopping, it would be difficult to explain the prices of the items to their parents, so they decided to stop.

Even these mobile phones could only be said to be cheap goods found in the second-hand market; only by saying this could they be accepted by their parents.

At this moment, the brother and sister, immersed in the excitement of returning home, were completely unaware that they had become the focus of attention for some people with ulterior motives online.

At dinner time, a table was filled with delicious dishes.

With Wang Hao successfully gaining 6 points of proficiency, this wonderful dinner began.

After several experiences of tasting delicious food, Wang Lan no longer made a fuss like before, but quietly enjoyed this rich meal with her brother.

They savored each dish to their heart's content, and soon devoured all the delicacies. After a short rest, the two of them, with faces full of satisfaction and anticipation for returning home, happily entered a sweet dream.

Carrying this excitement, the next day arrived in the blink of an eye—the day to go home.

Wang Hao and Wang Lan were awakened on time by their biological clocks early in the morning. Although they didn't need to rush to the early market to purchase items as usual today, they still got up early.

Seeing that there was still a long time before the train departure time, Wang Hao decided to personally make a hearty and nutritious breakfast.

"Brother, what delicious breakfast are we going to make today? Wow! Buns with red bean paste filling, it's been a long time since I've had them!" Wang Lan walked happily to Wang Hao's side, her eyes fixed on his nimble hands.

Wang Hao's fingers moved nimbly, quickly folding one plump red bean paste bun after another, neatly placing them in the steamer.

Then, Wang Hao took out the various side dishes needed to make cold dishes from the refrigerator.

After a series of smooth and skilled operations, two delicious dishes were already presented before them.

At this moment, two system notifications appeared simultaneously:

"Congratulations, your advanced cooking skill proficiency +1, current proficiency: advanced cooking 507/10000"

"Congratulations, your advanced cooking skill proficiency +1, current proficiency: advanced cooking 508/10000"

Two exquisitely beautiful side dishes, each exuding a tempting color, gave Wang Hao one point of proficiency, but unfortunately, the ordinary millet porridge did not bring him any proficiency improvement.

It seems that only food with a certain degree of technicality or a small difficulty can give him the required proficiency! Wang Hao thought to himself.

After carefully handing these two plates of cold dishes to Wang Lan, Wang Hao stayed in the kitchen to continue serving porridge.

He said softly to Wang Lan, "The buns will probably take another half an hour to steam, but the porridge is already cooked. If you're hungry, you can drink some porridge to fill your stomach first."

However, Wang Lan firmly replied, "No, I'll wait until the buns are steamed before eating them together!" Her tone was firm and resolute.

Wang Hao smiled and responded, "Okay, let's take advantage of the time we have now to check if we've missed anything. After we finish eating, we can set off for the train station!" Wang Lan nodded in agreement.

“Congratulations, your advanced cooking skill proficiency + 2, current proficiency ： advanced cooking 510 / 10000”

Half an hour later, the system prompt sounded, and Wang Hao and Wang Lan finally got their wish to taste the steaming red bean paste buns.

Paired with those two delicious and palatable cold dishes, this breakfast simply intoxicated Wang Lan, making her feel extremely happy!

By the end of the meal, the cold dishes had been eaten clean, but there were still some buns left.

Wang Hao did not put them in the refrigerator, but directly packed them up and put them into his carry-on bag.

It was not easy to return to Wang Hao's hometown. After taking the train to the county town, they still needed to transfer to an intercity bus to reach the town.

And from the town to the village, there was still a distance to travel. The entire journey would take about five or six hours to get home.

The train departed in the morning, and it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived home. Therefore, Wang Hao planned to use these buns to solve the lunch problem.

When Wang Hao and his sister were carrying large and small bags, happily walking towards the train station, the snack street was unusually lively.

Due to the ever-expanding influence of the video, the flow of people on the snack street ushered in a surge. There were people who came to see the excitement, people who came to join in the fun, and people who came to collect material. All kinds of people gathered here.

The nearby residents originally wanted to come out to eat some snacks to relax, but when they walked out of their homes, they were frightened by the huge crowd on the snack street.

These people were densely packed together, forming a powerful flow of people, which could not help but be shocking.

Some residents who did not necessarily have to eat this snack were directly frightened back home when they saw this situation;

And those who were more curious couldn't help but step forward to ask what was going on.

Some people guessed that a big star was going to hold a concert here, so it attracted so many fans to come and support them.

However, after some inquiries, they learned that the real reason why these people gathered here was actually just for the gossip between a streamer and a stall owner.

As time passed, the people who were originally scattered throughout the snack street gradually began to converge towards a vacant stall area.

At first, everyone happily exchanged various gossip messages, but gradually, as noon approached, and Wang Hao's figure still did not appear, the atmosphere in the crowd became more and more anxious.

This change in mood directly affected the business of Fried Chicken Li.

Due to the large increase in traffic, his fried chicken stall should have been bustling with activity, and business should have been booming.

But now, seeing that the time for setting up the stall was about to arrive, but Wang Hao had not appeared for a long time, the crowd began to riot, and people kept asking Li when Wang Hao would arrive, causing Fried Chicken Li to not sell much fried chicken, but only answer their questions.

Seeing that the crowd could not be controlled at all, this made Li feel difficult, because usually at this time, Wang Hao would have already arrived at the scene.

He also didn't know what was going on today, causing Wang Hao to not have arrived yet.

Faced with everyone's questioning, Li could only helplessly shake his head, indicating that he did not know.
