Chapter 198 – Daily Life (2)

“Dammit! You guys dare look down on me?! I’ll show you what it means to slap yourself in the face…”

Chen Yu sneered as he returned to his room. He then picked up the Automatic Cooking Pot, carried it to the kitchen, and placed it on the dining table.

After glancing at his two little sisters in the living room, he slid the kitchen door shut and powered up the cooking pot.

Beep!

Along with a beep, a virtual projection listing dozens of food categories suddenly appeared above the pot.

For local cuisines, there were Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Su cuisine…

For foreign cuisines, there were French cuisine, English cuisine, American cuisine, Sicilian cuisine…

Chen Yu couldn’t help but be dazzled by the wide variety of cuisines.

“Not bad!”

As Chen Yu looked at the menu that had tens of thousands of entries, he felt that out of all the products he had redeemed thus far, the Automatic Cooking Pot could easily rank within the top three in terms of practicality.

Even if he ate three different types of food every day, he wouldn’t finish tasting the whole menu within his lifetime.

Chen Yu excitedly rubbed his palms together before opening the pot’s lid. Just as he was about to put the onions and potatoes into the pot, his “occupational disease” suddenly acted up.

“If I only put seasonings, will it be able to produce a proper dish?”

Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu picked up the seasoning box and placed three spoons of salt, one spoon of MSG, one spoon of pepper, and half a small bottle of vinegar into the pot…

In the end, he even placed a rolling pin into the pot, albeit hesitantly, and closed the lid. He then selected “Fuqi Feipian” on the virtual projection and tapped the “Cook” b.u.t.ton.[1]

The pot: “…”

Resting his hands on his waist, Chen Yu patiently waited.

The pot: “…”

Beep! Beep, beep!

One minute later, accompanied by several beeping sounds, a red light lit up, signaling the cooking process’s completion. At the same time, the lid also popped up.

[The ingredients used do not have any nutritional value. Please insert proper ingredients.]

“Sure enough?”

Seeing that the cooking process had failed, Chen Yu picked up the rolling pin and poured away the seasonings. At this time, his reviewer’s mind started acting up again.

“I wonder if p.o.o.p has any nutritional value…”

After washing the pot bottom with water, Chen Yu obediently placed in the “normal” ingredients he had prepared.

As for the seasonings, Chen Yu went with the principle of “rather have more than have less” and added 10 spoons of salt, 5 spoons of MSG, half a small bottle of soy sauce, half a small bottle of rice vinegar, and half a small bottle of cooking wine.

In any case, the cooking pot would automatically adjust the amount of seasonings used. Even if he added too much, he could leave the remainder for next time.

Bang!

After closing the lid, Chen Yu chose the local dish “Braised Pork Intestines” and clicked “Cook.”

Beep!

A green breathing light lit up, and a progress bar appeared on the virtual projection.

[Remaining cooking time: 1 minute 44 seconds]

[1 minute 23 second]

When the timer reached zero, the cooking pot’s lid automatically popped open.

As the white steam wafted out of the pot, it carried a fragrance that entered Chen Yu’s nose. And upon smelling this fragrance, Chen Yu immediately grew energetic.

“c.r.a.p… This smell…”

Grabbing his chopsticks, Chen Yu picked up a piece of greasy intestine and carefully observed it.

Whether it was the color, smell, elasticity, and shape, it was no different than normal braised intestines!

“Interesting.”

Swallowing his saliva, he placed the intestine into his mouth. He then closed his eyes and carefully experienced the mellow fragrance that invaded his taste buds…

Nom, nom…

Nom…

As Chen Yu earnestly chewed on his food, an idea to make money came to his mind.

If he purchased a large amount of cheap cabbages and potatoes, turned them into exquisite dishes, and sold them, he would definitely make a killing!

However, he soon dismissed this idea.

Firstly, he no longer lacked money. In fact, he didn’t even have an interest in money now.

Secondly, he only had one cooking pot. Even if he spent 240 points to buy another one, he would only have two. No matter how fast the cooking pot’s production time was, it simply wasn’t possible for him to upscale his business. Opening only a few restaurants also wasn’t worthwhile, as just one of Little Peach’s software could most likely make more money than his restaurants could in a month.

Not to mention, although the Automatic Cooking Pot’s dishes tasted good and authentic, they weren’t at the level of “making people go into ecstasy” as depicted in novels. In fact, the cooking pot’s dishes merely rivaled Xing Biqi’s dishes. He definitely couldn’t sell the dishes for a high price.

Hence, Chen Yu decided to only use this cooking pot as a household appliance.

After swallowing his food, Chen Yu wiped his mouth and plated the remainder of the braised intestines. He then inserted potatoes and onions into the pot once more and chose to make stir-fried shrimp.

Three minutes later…

(Invincibility is so, so lonely…)

(Invincibility is so, so hollow…)

Amidst the sound of the exciting background music, Chen Yu walked into the living room with a plate of braised intestines in his left hand and a plate of stir-fried shrimp in his right hand.

“Hm?” Chen Erke’s nose twitched. Pausing her drawing, she looked up and stared at the plate of braised intestines.

“Huh?” Chen Sanke also turned around and stared at the plate of stir-fried shrimp.

“Ahaha.” Chen Yu couldn’t help but laugh at his little sisters’ reactions. Setting the two exquisite dishes on the coffee table, he smiled and said, “My dear little sisters, what do you think?”

“This… This…” Chen Erke’s eyes widened as she stared at the dishes in disbelief. “Did you make them, Big Brother?”

“That’s right,” Chen Yu said as he took a seat on the sofa. “What do you think of my skills?”

“Big Brother actually knows how to cook?” Chen Sanke’s eyes glowed as she reached for the shrimps with her chubby hand…

Smack!

With lightning speed, Chen Yu swatted Chen Sanke’s hand away.

“Ah!” Chen Sanke stumbled back. She then tilted her head and looked at Chen Yu in confusion.

In response to his little sister’s stare, Chen Yu leisurely picked up a shrimp and placed it into his mouth. While chewing, he vaguely said, “Third Eldest, didn’t you say you were full just now?”

“I…I didn’t.”

“You said you were full. Since you’re full, you cannot eat anymore.” Chen Yu clearly didn’t understand what brother-sister relationships were. Picking up the plate of stir-fried shrimp, he shoveled half of the shrimps into his mouth. Like the devil himself, he then chewed the shrimps in front of Chen Sanke.

Nom… Nom…

“Ah…” Chen Sanke stumbled and fell to the ground, despair coloring her face.

Seeing that Chen Yu was focused on targeting Chen Sanke, Chen Erke sneakily grabbed a piece of braised intestine.

Just as she was about to dump the intestine into her mouth, however, Chen Yu leaned forward and gave the piece a lick.

Chen Erke: “…”

“Didn’t you say you suddenly didn’t feel hungry anymore?” Chen Yu sneered.

“Ugh.” Throwing away the braised intestine in disgust, Chen Erke spread out her arms and attempted to talk some sense into her brother. “I’m hungry now.”

“Too late.” Sitting back onto the sofa, Chen Yu mercilessly said, “It’s all mine. None of you can eat it. Stay hungry.”

“T-Then, why did you bring it over!” Chen Erke shouted aggrievedly.

“To tease you, of course.”

“…” Chen Erke puffed up her cheeks. After shifting her gaze between the greasy intestines and Chen Yu’s despicable face, she stamped her feet and said, “I don’t like you anymore!”

“Oh.” Chen Yu nodded. He then picked up a piece of intestine, shook it in front of Chen Erke’s nose, and placed it into his mouth. “How delicious.”

Chen Erke: “…”

“B-Big Brother…” Standing up, Chen Sanke leaned forward and pushed at Chen Yu’s feet.

“What do you want?”

“I love you.”

“It’s useless.”

“Uu…” Chen Sanke stared at the shrimps and licked her lips. She then pulled up her sweater and said, “I’ll let you rub my tummy.”

Chen Yu: “…”

“I’ll let you rub it once if you give me a piece,” Chen Sanke offered with a serious expression. “I-If you give me three, you can rub twice.”

Chen Yu: “…”

“All right?” Chen Sanke asked pitifully.

“…Alright. Rub first, eat later.”

“Rub while eating.”

“Deal!”

When Chen Erke saw her younger sister’s act of selling her soul for food, she clicked her tongue contemptuously. Afterward, she similarly pulled up her sweater, exposing her white belly. “Brother! I’ll give you two rubs for one bite!”

“Scram. Your belly is dry and shriveled. I won’t give you anything even if you let me rub it a hundred times.”

“…”

Under Chen Erke’s tearful gaze, Chen Yu and Chen Sanke finished the two dishes and elegantly left the living room.

Compared to Chen Yu, Chen Sanke was much more softhearted. Kindly handing her plate to Chen Erke, she said, “There’s still some sauce left. Want a lick?”

Chen Erke: “…”
