[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the side task: Recruiting two employees within a week.]

[Reward: Random Culinary Skill - Nourishing Fish Soup.]

Nourishing Fish Soup?

Thinking about the dishes produced by the system, the taste must be phenomenal.

Huang Tao accepted it with a zen attitude, neither happy nor sad.

The next second!

He felt a surge of information in his mind.

Information about the Nourishing Fish Soup!

The professional knowledge related to the making of the Nourishing Fish Soup was all clearly presented in his mind.

The method for the system's Nourishing Fish Soup was completely different from the market version.

This version uses an ancient special technique.

This technique is able to retain the maximum freshness and nutrition of the fish soup.

[Ding!]

[A new task has been released, please check it.]

Huh?

Another new task?!

He had not yet come out of the illusion of being a fish soup master for decades before receiving a new system task, how could he not be surprised?

Carrying a curious mind, he clicked into the system interface with a thought.

At the top right corner of the system interface, there was an envelope icon with a red dot, flashing continuously.

He clicked it with his mind.

The envelope icon slowly opened...

[Task: Ten Thousand Slayer.]

[Ten Thousand Slayer: As a future Kitchen God controlling gourmet, allowing more and more customers to experience the ultimate deliciousness is your ultimate goal. Please attract 10,000 customers with the Nourishing Fish Soup!]

[Completion will yield a lottery chance.]

Huang Tao: ゛('◇')?

Come on!

What the heck is this Ten Thousand Slayer?

He seriously suspected this system wasn't serious, but had no evidence.

He carefully looked at the task details description again.

After understanding, he roughly got it.

The task standard this time requires attracting 10,000 different customers with the Nourishing Fish Soup.

In other words, even if a customer buys Nourishing Fish Soup every meal of every day, they would still be counted as only one customer by the system.

Uh...

This task is a bit challenging!

However, what comforted Huang Tao was that this task did not have a set deadline by the system.

So it wasn't a big issue, he could still manage it.

At this point, he remembered that he had over 30,000 points.

It's time to check out the legendary Points Mall!

It's time to see what can be exchanged with over 30,000 points!

Thus, with full anticipation, he moved with a thought and entered the Points Mall.

The game panel in his mind flickered for a moment, and a brand-new game interface appeared.

[Basic Knife Skills: 100,000 points]

[Basic Pot Flipping Skill: 100,000 points]

[Basic Sugar Art Skills: 100,000 points]

[Basic Carving Skill: 100,000 points]

[Basic Accompaniment Skill: 100,000 points]

[Basic Fire Skill: 100,000 points]

[...]

The array of cooking skills on the game interface almost blinded Huang Tao's 24K titanium eyes.

However, upon seeing the points required for each skill exchange, Huang Tao suddenly felt like his enthusiasm was wasted.

His 30,000 points instantly felt worthless.

Damn it!

Why is everything so expensive~

He had originally thought that having over 30,000 points was a lot, and he could at least exchange for one or two valuable items.

Who would have thought that he couldn't even exchange for a basic skill~

These points are really a bit of a scam!

He turned a page with his thoughts.

This page was full of recipe skills.

For example, steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chick, roasted goose, brined pork, brined duck, sauced chicken, cured meat, pine flower small intestine and so on.

These were also not cheap.

All starting from 100,000 points.

The dense list of recipe names and images made Huang Tao's eyes blur.

Alright!

If they can't be exchanged, then check something else.

He opened the catalog index function with his mind, then clicked into the item exchange page to see if any items could be exchanged.

However, as the page changed, he was completely stunned.

What's going on?

Why are the images in the list all gray and marked with a big question mark?

And there's no item name displayed either?

With doubts, he tried clicking one of the gray images with a question mark using his mind.

Then...

He saw a line of glaring prompt text.

[You have no permission to view!!!]

Huh?

He didn't even have the right to take a look!

He was speechless, feeling like he had been busy for nothing all this while.

"Forget it, better focus on making money first..."

Now that the Nourishing Fish Soup skill is in hand, it's time for it to have a spot on the menu.

"Suqin, could you please help me wash the accompaniments later... Xu Hao, come with me to the market."

After a while, Huang Tao, accompanied by Xu Hao, arrived at the market.

The market vendors, seeing a little follower behind Huang Tao, understood.

So he managed to recruit an assistant chef.

Everyone was happy for him.

Familiar vendors warmly said, "Boss Huang, you're here? Is this your newly recruited assistant chef?"

"Yes, hired just this morning, his name is Xu Hao, I hope you all take good care of him..." Huang Tao smiled slightly at the vendors.

Xu Hao smiled shyly, "You can also call me Haozi..."

"Mouse?"

The vendors all made a face like "such a nice young man, why did he give himself such a unique nickname?".

Of course, it was none of their business, so everyone just smiled and nodded to show they remembered.

"Everyone, you carry on, I'm going to check out the fish over there."

The vegetable stall owner immediately got the hint for a new product, "Oh, Boss Huang, is this for a new dish? Related to fish?"

"Yes, I'm planning to launch a Nourishing Fish Soup for lunch, feel free to come try it." Huang Tao nodded affirmatively.

"Then make a little extra, so we don't miss out when we get there!"

"Just like yesterday's new product, the three-fresh vegetable dumplings and lotus leaf sticky rice ribs, I queued twice but still didn't get any..."

"Sigh! It's really hard to taste a bite of the dishes made by you, Boss Huang..."

Seeing one vendor after another acting like resentful spouses, Huang Tao found it somewhat amusing, yet he couldn't bear it, so he said, "Okay, I'll try to make more, but make sure you come early too."

The vendors just casually mentioned it, and hearing Huang Tao agreeing to make more, they felt their words were valued and respected.

They immediately said with a smile, "Just for your kindness, Boss Huang, we'll come early to support you."

"Alright, see you later."

Huang Tao, with Xu Hao, went to the fish stall.

"Boss, how much is the silver carp?"

"If Boss Huang wants it, I'll give you the lowest price, 8 yuan per pound."

"Alright, I'll take 100 pounds then..."

This made the fish stall owner and his wife extremely happy.

The god of fortune finally smiled upon them!

The fish stall owner's wife said with a smile, "Boss Huang, you must come here often to buy fish! I guarantee to save the most plump and tender fish for you."

She was also happy; although the price was cheap, it was still a big profit overall.

These days, she had been watching the vegetable stall owner and the pork stall's Old Wang delivering goods to Huang Tao three times a day, making quite a profit, which made her envious.

She was also hoping that one day Boss Huang might come to their fish stall to buy fish, her husband even said she was daydreaming.

See, now wasn't he happily catching fish!

"Alright, but I'll need you to deliver them to my shop later, and if the sales are good at noon, I'll need a restock in the afternoon."

The lady boss chuckled honestly, "No problem, not just today, but anytime Boss Huang buys fish from me in the future, I'll deliver it to you, no matter the amount."

"Boss Huang, if you are busy, just call me with the amount you need, and I'll deliver it directly to you, saving you a trip."

"That sounds great~"

After paying, Huang Tao and Xu Hao went back to the store first.

As they passed a medicine shop, he went in alone to mix and buy some brine formula materials, then followed Xu Hao, carrying a large pile of things towards the store.

By this time, the fish stall owner had already delivered the fish to the store, and together with Jiang Guowei and Ding Suqin, moved the fish inside.
