Brush Up Your Proficiency

"Wow, Hao-ge, your knife skills are amazing! It's simply divine! Every cut is so precise, the vegetables are sliced so finely and evenly, it's just so satisfying to watch. Your technique is incredible, you could film a documentary!"

Ma Yang exclaimed excitedly while filming.

Wang Lan then took Cheng Yufei and Li Nan aside to chat, leaving Ma Yang with Wang Hao to film footage. Ma Yang was clearly enthusiastic about this task, constantly marveling as if he were watching a spectacular performance.

Wang Hao couldn't help but smile wryly at Ma Yang's praise, but he still nodded politely in gratitude.

After a brief interaction, Wang Hao realized that Ma Yang was a very enthusiastic and sociable person. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to express his admiration so openly. However, he admired Ma Yang's personality.

As time passed and it approached noon, more and more people gathered, making it even livelier than a small village gathering.

These people formed groups, whispering to each other, their voices rising and falling, making the whole scene exceptionally bustling.

As the main figure of this event, Zhu's son had already led his teacher to sit at the main table, with some of the village elders accompanying them to chat.

The villagers' respect for intellectuals was evident. When they passed the main table, they would enthusiastically greet the teacher who had taught Zhu's son.

Cheng Yufei and the others, as Wang Lan's friends, naturally sat with Wang Lan after giving their gifts, quietly waiting for the start of the graduation banquet at noon.

Cheng Yufei had been a streamer for many years, and she was already used to being the center of attention, so even in the face of such a scene, she could still remain calm and chat casually.

However, for Li Nan, a "homebody" who rarely went out, such a scene was too unfamiliar.

She felt very shy, her face flushed, and she gave Cheng Yufei two thumbs up, expressing her sincere admiration.

At this moment, Zhu's housekeeper began to shout loudly: "Everyone standing and chatting, and those with children, quickly find a seat and sit down, it's almost time to start the feast!" Hearing this, the villagers understood and took their seats one after another.

The parents with children also stopped their children from running around in time, to avoid accidents.

At this moment, Wang Hao looked at the three large pots, knowing that the moment to test himself was finally coming.

He instructed his grandfather to arrange for the other kitchen helpers to serve the pre-prepared dishes on the menu in order, while he began cooking the hot dishes.

The cold dishes themselves were prepared in advance by Grandpa Wang and the kitchen helpers, but after Wang Hao improved the seasoning ratio, the taste was directly elevated to another level.

This made Grandpa Wang, after tasting it, feel somewhat inferior, and his eyes became even more proud when he looked at his grandson.

"Congratulations, Advanced Cooking Proficiency +5, Current Proficiency: Advanced Cooking 630/10000"

However, to Wang Hao's surprise, he simply modified the ingredients and marinating methods of the previously prepared dishes, and he didn't expect the system cheat to give him a full twenty points of cooking skill proficiency.

Each cold dish provided five points of proficiency, which made him sigh that the speed of accumulating cooking skill proficiency by making this kind of potluck dishes was really fast!

As the four cold dishes were served, the noise outside gradually subsided, and the whole environment became quiet.

People tasted the four cold dishes carefully prepared by Wang Hao, and felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in their taste buds.

These four cold dishes were reasonably matched with meat and vegetables, and the taste was delicious, which greatly increased their appetite. The people who were already a little hungry started to eat with chopsticks, enjoying the delicious food and praising it.

After Wang Hao's ingenious debugging, these four dishes truly achieved the "Clean Plate Campaign."

Even those men who usually liked to drink and make merry and persuade each other to drink were no longer noisy at this moment, but focused on savoring this taste bud explosion.

They nodded in appreciation while constantly chewing on the food, enjoying this rare delicious experience.

This made the Zhu family, their smiles seemed to be glued to their faces, unable to hide.

"Wow, these are the cold dishes made by Hao-ge himself! They're just too delicious!" Ma Yang widened his eyes, his face full of surprise and joy.

He tasted Wang Hao's cooking for the first time and was immediately conquered by its taste.

"It's really delicious! I haven't had such a refreshing and delicious cold dish in a long time!" Cheng Yufei and the other two couldn't help but praise, praising Wang Hao's cooking skills.

Wang Hao had already prepared the ingredients here in the morning, and now all that was left was to stir-fry in the pot.

Seeing that the speed of serving dishes at the banquet was a bit fast, Wang Hao didn't hide it, and directly started stir-frying in two pots at the same time. The fire began to boil under the two stoves, and the rich aroma spread out as if it didn't cost money.

"What's that smell? Why is it so fragrant? I'm almost intoxicated by the fragrance!" Everyone present smelled the aroma, and their eyes couldn't help but look towards the source of the fragrance.

The few tables closest to the stove felt the aroma even more directly, and they couldn't help but get up and walk to the stove to feel it up close.

"Little Zhu, the chef you hired for your graduation banquet is not ordinary. He can actually emit such a fragrant smell, even hooking out my glutton!" Zhu's son's teacher couldn't help but sigh.

He was in charge of an excellent graduating class of senior high school students, and he had been asked by students to attend graduation banquets a lot recently, which led to eating too many good things recently, and he was almost anorexic.

However, the four refreshing cold dishes in front made him feel very good even though he was a little anorexic.

Then, the aroma that is now attacking directly cured his mild anorexia and even began to increase his appetite.

Zhu's son smiled when he heard the words: "I heard from my dad that this is a chef from a restaurant in Xingyun. He just happened to come back this time during the wheat harvest!"

"No wonder, this skill is indeed outstanding! It's true that every profession produces its own champion!" The teacher praised.
