Having harvested all the eggplants, Grandpa Gao continued to work diligently on the one-third acre of land.
Xiao Feng handed all the mutant seeds to Grandpa Gao.
This time, Grandpa Gao directly planted all the remaining seeds.
However, not long after, Grandpa Gao found Xiao Feng again.
"The backyard area is too small; it’s simply not enough for planting!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng fell into deep thought.
"Grandpa Gao, for now, let’s make do with it. In a few days, I’ll expand the restaurant’s area, and then we can increase the land area!"
"Alright!"
Grandpa Gao responded with a nod, humming a tune as he left.
Back in the bedroom, Xiao Feng began to check the rewards from this task.
It turned out that hard work pays off.
Yesterday, Xiao Feng was pondering how to unlock the "Home-Style Spicy Tripe Soup" Little did he know that completing the task today would unlock this dish.
As a result, Xiao Feng only needs to hunt and absorb the psychic evolution ability from a 3rd-tier or higher mutant pig-like creature.
Furthermore, this task even rewarded him with a special machine: the "Bun Flow Machine."
As the name suggests, it is used for making bun.
Taking out the bun flow machine, Xiao Feng excitedly observed this enormous device in front of him. It was well over three meters long, wide, and tall.
Placing it in the kitchen made it appear a bit crowded. Nevertheless, it solved Xiao Feng’s current predicament.
With this bun machine, Xiao Feng no longer needs to wrap bun by hand.
"I’m finally liberated!"
Xiao Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
The use of this bun machine is quite convenient. All that’s required is to add a certain ratio of flour and water. The machine will automatically knead the dough. There’s another slot for the bun filling, but it doesn’t automatically create the bun filling. You have to prepare the filling separately and then place it inside.
Finally, when the machine is started, the buns will come directly out of the production line.
You just need to stand at the exit, take the buns and steam them in the pot.
One person can easily operate a machine.
Xiao Feng assigned this task to Gao Ya to handle, and then he left in a hurry.
Xiao Feng tried it from 8 in the morning until 8 at night.
The bun machine can produce up to 50,000 buns in total.
But the prerequisite is that you have a sufficient amount of bun filling.
And excluding the time spent by Xiao Feng in making the bun filling, the machine can produce around 40,000 buns.
With such a huge quantity, it can fully meet the needs of Shelter No. 9.
With 40,000 buns a day, the income can reach 400,000 energy.
Thinking about this, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
However, a harsh reality soon brought Xiao Feng back to earth.
Because the supply of ingredients can’t keep up with the production speed.
Although Shelter No. 9 provides ingredients for free, their supply speed has greatly decreased in recent days.
This is because the surrounding razorback mountain goats have been hunted to near extinction.
If they want to hunt more razorback mountain goats, they will have to go to more distant places.
But this greatly increases the danger level for Shelter No. 9.
So the dream of selling 400,000 energy in a day is shattered.
However, with the addition of the braised pigeon, Xiao Feng can now make a stable income of around 100,000 a day.
In just a week, Xiao Feng’s energy value accumulated to 400,000.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Feng directly upgraded the restaurant’s level.
[Task Completed: Raise the restaurant’s level to Tier 3]
[Task Reward: Unlock Dish: Signature Vintage Wine, Special Item: Stir-Fry Robot]
[Task Issued: Promote Chef Level to Tier 3]
Seeing this, Xiao Feng felt delighted.
Currently, he was a Tier 2 Evolver. If he needed to promote, Xiao Feng only needed to spend 10,000 energy to level up.
He had just spent 200,000 to upgrade the restaurant.
Now, Xiao Feng spent an additional 10,000 to promote his own level.
After these expenses, Xiao Feng still had 190,000 energy.
Shortly after, the system’s voice sounded again.
[Task Completed: Promote Chef Level to Tier 3]
[Task Reward: Unlock Dish: Boiled Fish, Skill: Swift Kitchen Knife]
[Task Issued: Accumulate restaurant income to 2 million]
"Two million?"
Seeing this number, Xiao Feng’s eyes widened.
However, he then noticed a word, "accumulate." It meant there was no time limit, and based on the current daily income, he believed it could be achieved quickly.
Looking at the newly unlocked Signature Vintage Wine and Boiled Fish, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but smile.
[Signature Vintage Wine: You can name it yourself. It is a unique wine for the restaurant. After drinking, it enhances different attributes based on the level of drunkenness. One level of drunkenness increases attack power by 10% and reduces speed and pain sensitivity by 10%. Two levels of drunkenness increase attack power by 20% and reduce speed and pain sensitivity by 20%, and so on. At ten levels of drunkenness, the user enters a sleeping state.]
"This is a fantastic item!" Xiao Feng’s eyes lit up.
"If I can control the drunkenness at nine levels, it’ll boost my attack power by 90%!"
However, seeing the relative decrease in speed, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but shake his head.
This was the same as getting drunk. When you’re intoxicated, you don’t feel pain, but your movements become erratic, your speed decreases, and your attacks naturally become stronger.
Next, Xiao Feng looked at the Boiled Fish.
[Boiled Fish: After consumption, you can freely move in the water for ten minutes, and the duration may vary based on the quality of ingredients. For first-tier fish, it lasts ten minutes, for second-tier, twenty minutes, and so on.]
"Wow, I can swim freely underwater? With third-tier fish, I could move for half an hour. What’s the maximum diving time for humans?"
Although people currently lived on land, with the development and unification of all humanity in the future, countries would certainly engage in trade and commerce through the seas. At that time, Xiao Feng’s ability to deal with aquatic mutant creatures with his Boiled Fish would be of significant help.
These were two different dishes he had acquired.
Afterward, Xiao Feng looked at the Stir-Fry Robot.
When he took it out, Xiao Feng saw that it was a pure white robot, much like the character Shaqiang from the movie "From Vegas to Macau."
According to the system prompts, Xiao Feng began operating the Stir-Fry Robot.
After some experimentation, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but get excited.
This was the rhythm of completely freeing his hands. With this robot, he only needed to input information about the dishes and place the ingredients in a designated spot, and the robot would automatically carry out the cooking process.
It was incredibly convenient. With this robot, Xiao Feng could truly become a hands-off boss.
"In the future, I’ll call you Da Bai!"
Having deployed Da Bai to the kitchen, Xiao Feng had it start working day and night.
Evil capitalists would always exploit the labor of robots.
Next, Xiao Feng looked at the skill he had acquired: Swift Kitchen Knife.
