"Miss Lin..."
"We don’t recommend reheating the steak."
"Especially in a home microwave. It would ruin the original texture of the ingredients."
Yu Xuan didn’t know how to explain it to Lin Xiaoman.
This was the only thing she could say.
Why isn’t steak cooked until it’s well-done?
It’s all about the texture.
If you really put it in the microwave to reheat it...
...you might as well buy a steak from a street vendor and cook it yourself.
Yu Xuan’s words made Lin Xiaoman’s face fall completely.
She could only look to Lin Feng for help.
In truth, Lin Feng was only about half-full himself.
After all, he was a guy. His appetite was naturally bigger than girls like Lin Xiaoman.
Looking at the steak on Lin Xiaoman’s plate,
Lin Feng suddenly had an idea.
He turned his head to look at Yu Xuan.
"Miss Yu, you have those small hot pots here, right?"
"The kind you can use to cook your own noodles."
Lin Feng asked.
"Huh?"
Yu Xuan didn’t quite understand why Lin Feng was asking this.
But she still nodded and said, "We do, Mr. Lin."
"Would you like some noodles?"
"Please bring me one. And while you’re at it, grab me some green vegetables and a packet of instant noodles."
A pot, green vegetables, and instant noodles.
Yu Xuan was completely bewildered by Lin Feng.
’What is Lin Feng planning to do?’
Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman also looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
"Brother Feng, are you still that hungry?"
Su Ruoxi asked.
If Lin Feng was hungry, he could just order more food.
Lin Feng shook his head at her words.
Then he nodded again.
"You’ll see in a minute. Miss Yu, please bring them over as quickly as you can."
Hearing this, Yu Xuan didn’t know what to say.
She turned and left.
When she returned a few minutes later, Yu Xuan had everything ready.
The pot, washed green vegetables, and a packet of instant noodles.
She had even prepared water, which Lin Feng hadn’t mentioned.
It was obvious from his request that he planned to cook a bowl of noodles.
"Thank you, Miss Yu."
He said thank you as he watched Yu Xuan plug in the pot.
It was worth mentioning that the instant noodles Yu Xuan brought were, surprisingly, Braised Beef flavor.
This was exactly what Lin Feng needed.
Lin Feng carried Lin Xiaoman’s plate over to the chef.
"Excuse me, could you please help me cut this into small pieces?"
Lin Feng said this in English.
He was a Yang City University student, after all.
He certainly had the necessary skills.
"Of course, sir."
Although the chef didn’t quite understand why Lin Feng wanted this done...
...he complied with the request.
A very large steak was cut into seven or eight cube-like pieces.
They were just the right size—perfect for a single bite.
Then Lin Feng carried the plate back to his seat.
"Lin Xiaoman, you know how to make instant noodles, right?"
Lin Feng looked at Lin Xiaoman.
"Yes, I do! I do!"
It didn’t matter what Lin Feng was planning.
As long as he was willing to help her deal with this steak, she was happy.
Boil water, cook the vegetables, add the noodles.
The whole process was smooth as silk.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that their family owned a restaurant.
When Lin Feng and Lin Xiaoman were young, they were basically latchkey kids.
Eating instant noodles was a very normal thing for them.
"If I had an egg, I could really show off my skills,"
Lin Xiaoman added, talking to herself.
"We have some, Miss Lin."
Yu Xuan, who was standing nearby, heard this and quickly replied.
She then went to the chef and brought back two white eggs.
It was unclear if they were chicken eggs, but it didn’t matter.
After taking them, Lin Xiaoman cracked both eggs into the pot.
Then she pushed the instant noodles to one side.
This allowed the eggs to be poached.
You had to admit, her technique was pretty good.
When it was almost done...
...Lin Feng picked up the plate of steak cubes and dumped them in.
And then...
Everyone was stunned.
"Bro, what are you doing?"
Lin Xiaoman stared blankly at Lin Feng.
"Eating noodles. Braised Beef Noodles. Haven’t you ever had them?"
Lin Feng held up the empty instant noodle packet.
He showed it to them.
They were shocked.
Everyone was shocked.
Braised Beef Noodles?
Well, it really was Braised Beef Noodles now.
Because the noodles in the pot...
...looked exactly the same as the picture on the packet.
The product looked exactly like the advertisement.
At the same time, the system’s notification sound arrived.
It came about ten seconds after Lin Feng had added the beef.
It was as if the system, too, had been stunned by Lin Feng and had only just now recovered.
[Ding...]
[Congratulations, Host, for grasping the true meaning of a perfect life.]
[A truly perfect life means doing whatever you want.]
[Ding... Congratulations, Host, for completing the hidden main quest: Let Yourself Go.]
[Reward: Money Blessing effect doubled.]
[Reward: 10,000,000 cash.]
[Reward: One fully-loaded Ferrari 812 convertible.]
[Reward: One villa in Xiang City.]
[Reward: Ten Intermediate Gourmet Cashback Cards.]
[Reward: Ten Mid-Level Consumption Refund Cards.]
The string of system rewards completely stunned Lin Feng.
’What the hell?’
’I really just wanted to eat some Braised Beef Noodles.’
’There’s no need for you all to react like this, is there?’
’It’s one thing for Lin Xiaoman and the others to be shocked...’
’...but why is the system going crazy with rewards, too?’
The Money Blessing had doubled, which meant he would now get 80 yuan per minute.
Did that mean his daily income from the Money Blessing could reach over 115,000 yuan?
A daily salary of over 115,000, and a monthly salary of over 3.45 million?
His annual salary would reach over 41.4 million!
’This...’
Lin Feng no longer knew how to describe the joyous surprise in his heart.
And on top of that, there was the ten million in cash, the supercar reward, and a villa in Xiang City!
There were also the ten Intermediate Gourmet Cashback Cards and ten Mid-Level Consumption Refund Cards.
Just adding all these up, the rewards the system gave Lin Feng this time probably exceeded half a "small goal."
This was what it truly meant to get rich overnight!
More importantly, it all started with a bowl of Braised Beef Noodles.
’This was a good trade.’
’In fact, it was a massive win.’
Lin Feng couldn’t help but break into a smile.
"Seriously, Bro, why are you smiling so smugly?"
Lin Feng’s consciousness was still immersed in the system space.
Then, Lin Xiaoman’s voice rang in his ears.
Lin Feng could only pull his consciousness back.
"Am I?"
Lin Feng wiped the smile off his face and asked in return.
"Yes, you totally are."
Lin Xiaoman nodded repeatedly.
"Isn’t that obvious?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Lin Xiaoman.
"Have you ever eaten this kind of Braised Beef Noodles before?"
"Oh, that’s true."
Lin Xiaoman realized what he meant.
This left Su Ruoxi and Yu Xuan, who were standing nearby, at a loss for words.
No one had ever seen this kind of Braised Beef Noodles.
But then again...
...who would use a 9,000-yuan steak...
...just to make a bowl of Braised Beef Noodles?
Instant noodles, at that.
Su Ruoxi glanced at the piece of steak on her plate, which Lin Xiaoman had given her earlier.
For some reason...
...she felt that her piece of steak didn’t seem as fragrant as what was in the pot.
"It’s about ready, it’s about ready,"
Lin Feng called out.
"Got any vinegar? I like to add a little vinegar."
Lin Feng looked at Yu Xuan again.
"Yes..."
Hearing yet another bizarre request from Lin Feng,
Yu Xuan could only agree.
’Is this the world of the ultra-rich?’
’It really is strange.’
Still, this request from Lin Feng was something Yu Xuan could accept.
At most, it was just a bit eccentric.
Ignoring the chef’s dumbfounded expression, Yu Xuan brought over a bottle of vinegar.
Lin Feng then added a little.
And just like that, the feeling was perfect.
Yu Xuan, ever so considerate, also brought Lin Feng a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
As for why a Western restaurant would have a bowl and chopsticks,
who the hell knew?
A 10,000-yuan bowl of Braised Beef Noodles had already made an appearance.
Why couldn’t a bowl and chopsticks appear, too?
