Brush Up Your Proficiency

So, imparting my skills to others can actually grant me proficiency points! This sudden notification filled Wang Hao with immense joy.

The appearance of this notification instantly brought many things to Wang Hao's mind.

Besides meaning that there was now another way to increase proficiency, could he also detach himself from the kitchen by teaching others skills?

If that were truly possible, then the worries he had mentioned to Cheng Yufei in the rented apartment could now be said to have vanished into thin air.

As long as he taught some common dishes to others, over time, even if he didn't work at the restaurant in the future, the restaurant could still operate normally, and might even truly achieve what Cheng Yufei had said before: to grow bigger and stronger?

Wang Hao carefully considered this idea and felt that it needed to be verified, and the subject for verifying this idea was naturally his mother, Liu Zhi.

Seeing Wang Hao standing there motionless, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel puzzled and softly called out, "Xiao Hao? Xiao Hao?"

His mother's call was like a gentle breeze, blowing away the fog of Wang Hao's thoughts and pulling him back from his absent-minded state to the real world.

Wang Hao came back to his senses, his eyes fixed on his mother, revealing a hint of anticipation.

He said in a firm tone, "Mom, you should have mastered the dish I taught you just now, right? Now, you can try making it yourself and let me see how you do. This way, I can better assess your learning results."

Wang Hao secretly calculated in his mind that if his mother could try making this dish again and make it taste similar or even the same as what he made, then his idea might be feasible.

Conversely, if the result was not satisfactory, then this plan might just be a fantasy.

However, Liu Zhi frowned and replied hesitantly, "Although I've already learned it, haven't you already made the dish? It would be a waste to make it again."

From a young age, the concept of thrift had been deeply ingrained in Liu Zhi's heart, making her somewhat resistant to any behavior that might cause waste.

Faced with his mother's refusal, Wang Hao did not give up easily. He quickly came up with an excuse, trying to persuade his mother.

He said softly, "While you haven't forgotten what you just learned, practicing on the spot can help you better consolidate your skills." Wang Hao knew his mother's personality well and understood that directly forcing her might be counterproductive, so he chose to persuade her with reason.

Liu Zhi listened to her son's words and thought for a moment. She felt that what her son said seemed to make sense, and practicing while the iron was hot would indeed help her master it.

Finally, she nodded in agreement: "Alright then, but let's agree in advance that we'll only make this one dish tonight and not stir-fry any other dishes." Liu Zhi decided to satisfy her son's request while ensuring that no ingredients were wasted.

"Okay, okay, whatever Mom says." Wang Hao quickly agreed and then stood aside, watching his mother's every move intently.

He saw Liu Zhi first silently recall the little tricks that Wang Hao had taught her just now. She didn't want to lose face in front of her son.

After recalling everything clearly, Liu Zhi began to cook.

Wang Hao carefully observed from the side. He noticed that his mother's operating steps were slightly different from his own, but it shouldn't have too much impact on the final product. Seeing this, Wang Hao's confidence instantly doubled.

When his mother finished making the same dish and put it on a plate, it looked almost the same as what Wang Hao had made before.

Wang Hao couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and walk over, picking up a bite and chewing it.

As soon as he tasted the first bite, his eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself: Success!

The taste was already extremely similar to his own. This discovery greatly reassured Wang Hao. He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a heavy breath, as if to expel all the unease and doubt in his heart with this breath.

Wang Hao suppressed the various thoughts in his mind, a relaxed and happy smile appeared on his face, and he began to happily enjoy this rich dinner with his family.

When Wang Hao explained to her that one of the dishes was made by their mother, Wang Lan's eyes lit up. She didn't expect her mother to actually make it. Her face was full of surprise and anticipation.

Wang Lan couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, first carefully observed the appearance of the two dishes, and then carefully picked up a little and put it in her mouth to savor.

From the taste, she could tell which one was made by her mother, but she had to admit that the taste was already quite good, almost catching up with her brother. This discovery made Wang Lan extremely excited. Even if her brother wasn't at home in the future, she wouldn't have to worry about eating.

While eating, she kept nodding and praising, praising her mother's cooking skills.

Her daughter's affirmation made Liu Zhi's heart blossom, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

However, in order to maintain her dignity as a mother, she still deliberately put on a straight face and said, "Okay, hurry up and eat, don't make so many small gestures!"

Wang Lan naturally understood her mother's thoughts. She smiled mischievously at her mother and continued to bury herself in her meal.

After dinner, Wang Lan cleared her throat and solemnly announced, "I have an important message to tell everyone!"

The eyes of the whole family were focused on her, expecting what she was going to say next.

Wang Lan deliberately built suspense, and then mysteriously told her family the information she had obtained this afternoon in detail.

As Wang Lan narrated, everyone's attention was focused on Wang Lan. Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, listening to Wang Lan's description, Wang Hao and the others could imagine how big it was.

This news made Liu Zhi and Wang Lin feel a burst of excitement. Their hearts were as if they had been ignited, full of joy and anticipation.

Because the expansion of the restaurant meant that their son would have better development prospects, which was simply what they had dreamed of!

The faces of the two couldn't help but flush with excitement, and their eyes sparkled with hope as they looked at their son.
