Sunday,
9 PM,
After staying at home for two days, Xia Tian turned off the TV,
turned around and carried the sleepy Xiao Bei Chang Tan back to the room to sleep, covered her with a Pucca blanket, and went back to the sofa to scroll through his phone.
Soon a few hours passed,
It was past 12 AM, and the system's tasks refreshed on time.
Xia Tian widened his eyes and glanced at the task panel,
【This week's task: Sell 1000 buns in An Ding District. (There are special target customers, ingredients can be purchased from the store)】
【Task reward: A set of Eight Extraordinary Techniques and a Qi Ball at the level of Lao Tian Shi】
【Accept Task/Reject Task】
Xia Tian: ???
Where?
An Ding District, are the Ghouls out?
If it were a week ago, Xia Tian would have definitely abandoned the task, but now that he has eaten the Rumble Fruit, ordinary Ghouls can't even harm him even if they stand still and let him beat them up.
The reward is Eight Extraordinary Techniques, which include the Eight Great Skills of Double-Headed Hand, Heavenly Script, Feng Hou's Qi Men, etc., there is no way he wouldn't be tempted.
Forget the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, even if it was just the Double-Headed Hand, Xia Tian wouldn't be able to resist.
Double-Headed Hand, it is said to be an amazing skill that can heal any disease, he was thinking of getting medical skills through the ability of the Rumble Fruit a few days ago, but it turns out there's a better one.
It's just going to set up a stall in An Ding District, right?
With the Rumble Fruit in hand, he doesn't believe Ghouls can harm him.
He clicked on Accept Task and happily went back to sleep.

"Brother, wake up."
The first rays of morning sunlight shone into the small wooden house, the Xiao Bei Chang Tan alarm clock woke Xia Tian on time.
"Tan Tan, morning."
"Brother, I'm going to wash the rice, how much rice are we cooking today."
"Wait, we're not eating porridge for breakfast today."
"Brother, did we run out of rice?" Xiao Bei Chang Tan's small face instantly became tense.
"Today we're having soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks, have you ever had deep-fried dough sticks, Tan Tan?"
Xiao Bei Chang Tan shook her head, but anything made by her brother was delicious, and she happily went to brush her teeth and wash her face with anticipation.
Whoosh~
He opened the kitchen window to let in the natural light.
Xia Tian checked the system's so-called special ingredients.
The golden soybeans soaked overnight were the size of lychees, the salt and seasonings were different from those bought at the supermarket, Xia Tian tasted them one by one, and had a plan in mind.
The taste is slightly different, but the nature is roughly the same.
The first step in making stinky tofu is, of course, to have tofu.
Soak the soybeans, grind them into soy milk, filter the bean dregs, boil the soy milk, add coagulant, and press it into shape.
In general, the tofu making process is to soak the soybeans in water to soften them, then extract the soy milk, and then add a coagulant (such as gypsum, etc.) to solidify the soy milk into tofu.
Pressing into shape requires waiting,
Xia Tian took the time to knead the dough and fry the deep-fried dough sticks.
"System, tell me the origin of these ingredients."
System appears in text: "Soybeans, full name Gemstone Soybeans, are from the Gourmet Continent, and other ingredients are the same. Gourmet Continent's ingredients are rich in gourmet factors, which can be effectively absorbed by the human body, and also by Ghouls."
Wow.
He knew that the system store could buy out-of-season fresh ingredients, but he didn't expect that he could also buy ingredients from another world.
Xia Tian excitedly flipped through the ingredient list, intending to buy some to make lunch,
But after seeing that a 1st-level Almond Cabbage was 10,000 Dan, and 100g of beef was 20,000 Dan, he silently closed the system.
Poor people don't deserve to eat Gourmet Continent food, anyway, Little Boss's cooking skills are turning the mundane into magical, seeking simple food, simple happiness.
Poor people can only comfort themselves in this way, Xia Tian really had no money, the system's ingredients were expensive, and the profit margin for selling a steamed bun was only 100 Dan.
Selling for a week only earned 100,000 Dan, almost all of which was spent on buying a pig to make a Universal Great Steamed Bun.
I'm so stupid, really.
Xia Tian regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice, dammit, he won't be so generous in the future, what kind of feedback activity he's trying to make everyone happy, Xue Nai, Tuan Zi, Da Lao Shi... It's really lust that blinds one's reason.
Poor people could only silently use the leftover flour from last week's steamed buns to make deep-fried dough sticks.
"Tan Tan, it's time to eat."
"Okay."
Without Xia Tian's greeting, the little one was already sitting at the kitchen door on a small stool, watching her brother busy, already smelling the scent of breakfast.
Xiao Bei Chang Tan happily sat in her seat, holding her new rice bowl, looking at the soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks on the table, unsure what to do.
She had never seen these things before.
"Little Tan, try it!"
Xia Tian handed Xiao Bei Chang Tan a deep-fried dough stick, then ate it himself.
"Thank you, brother~~"
She stretched out her little hand to take the deep-fried dough stick, imitating her brother's way of taking a bite, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Delicious! It's crispy."
Xia Tian poured soy milk into her small bowl, the temperature was just right, and added a spoonful of sugar.
He put it in front of Xiao Bei Chang Tan, "You have to drink soy milk with the deep-fried dough sticks, be careful not to burn yourself."
Xiao Bei Chang Tan nodded, picked up the soy milk and carefully took a sip, her eyes narrowed happily.
"It's sweet~"
She took another sip, then took a bite of the deep-fried dough stick.
Two kinds of delicacies, double the happiness, the little one was ecstatic.
The soy milk was delicious, the deep-fried dough sticks were delicious, these foods she had never eaten before conquered her taste buds instantly. Besides rice, she had a new favorite food.
When Xia Tian handed her the second deep-fried dough stick, Xiao Bei Chang Tan gently shook her head, reached out and touched her little belly, "Brother, my belly is full!"
Xia Tian smiled, "You're full, that's good, don't eat too much, you'll get a stomachache."
"Then brother, I'll go wash the dishes~"
"Wait, we'll wash the dishes together later, brother needs to recruit two more assistants first."
Looking at the messy kitchen, Xia Tian felt a headache, grinding tofu just now made his waist sore and back ache, and he hadn't even finished making the stinky tofu yet, if he didn't recruit more people, he felt like he was going to drop dead.
That's what he thought last week, Xiao Bei Chang Tan was very hardworking, but due to her height, she couldn't help with most of the kitchen work.
"System, recruit two more people."
"Meals included. Salary 60,000 Dan each."
"Need an interview."
This time Xia Tian learned his lesson, he dared not provide housing anymore, his bedroom was already missing a wall, if another room was integrated in, wouldn't the house collapse.
