The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme

Chapter 93: Delicious!

Translator: 549690339

Originally, Zhang Yongchang had invited the sisters to eat braised pork bones, but considering the incidents today, Zhuang Qingning decided to postpone it for another day.

Just as she was thinking about how to explain this to Zhang Yongchang, she saw Lian Rong rushing over with a food box in his hand.

“Brother Rong.” Zhuang Qingning put aside the things in her hands.

“Just in time, you haven’t left yet.” Lian Rong swiped a hand across his sweaty forehead and began grinning: “This is the braised pork bone stewed in the kitchen. Master originally planned to invite you two to the kitchen for a good lunch, but unfortunately with today’s incident…”

“Master was afraid that Miss Zhuang could not have a proper meal in the kitchen, so he instructed me to pack one serving for Miss Zhuang to take home.”

“I used a deep clay pot to hold it, and the lid is tightly sealed, so the soup won’t easily spill out. Miss Zhuang, if you like it cold, you can directly eat it after taking it out. If you prefer it hot, you can just put the clay pot on a small stove. If you like having it with vegetables, you can add tofu skin, lotus root slices, potatoes, tofu, etc. The taste is quite good.”

“I baked two scallion pancakes, thick fermented dough pancakes. I cut two large pieces and put them inside. During lunch time, you can directly eat it, no need to cook again.”

“Thank you, Brother Rong.” Zhuang Qingning took the food box and thanked him, then added, “When you have the chance, try persuading your master not to hold Manager Chang’s matter against Uncle Zhang, since it’s not his fault. I hope you won’t be too upset about it.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Zhuang, I understand.” Lian Rong smiled and said, “The kitchen is still busy, so I won’t accompany you any longer.”

“Alright, you better hurry back to work.”

As Zhuang Qingning watched Lian Rong hurriedly run back to the kitchen, she carefully put the food box into the bamboo basket, gathered her belongings with Zhuang Qingsui, and went home.

After tidying up at home, she prepared to heat up the clay pot of stew, and add some fresh vegetables from the courtyard.

The courtyard’s cucumbers and tomatoes grew very tall, to the point of needing to be supported by bamboo poles. The vines of loofahs, pumpkins, etc., have climbed up the walls and enveloped them. The dense, lush green leaves have given life to the previously vacant courtyard walls.

Especially the little goose-yellow flowers on all kinds of melons peeking out from the emerald green leaves, swaying in the wind and attracting bee after bee to collect nectar.

This was indeed a peaceful and tranquil rural courtyard.

Looking at all of this, Zhuang Qingning was reminded of the vegetable task.

The task was now completed to the point of flowering, and she has received multiple awards. Besides the growth liquid needed for regular vegetables, she’s also received some vegetable seeds.

Common vegetable seeds, such as cabbage, radish, and mustard.

Once these vegetables are harvested, they’ll be planted and ready to eat by autumn and winter. But since they’re distributed by the system, the vegetables that grow should be much better than the usual ones.

She was truly filled with anticipation.

With a smug smile, Zhuang Qingning picked a bone from the bubbling braised pork soup and put it in Zhuang Qingsui’s bowl before adding a piece for herself.

She blew away the heat, waited for it to cool slightly, placed it into her mouth, and began to chew.

The meat was tender, and the soup was savory and delicious. Its taste was rich and fragrant, without any greasiness – In conclusion, it was delicious!

“It’s really tasty,” said Zhuang Qingsui as she licked her lips. She then reached for the meat on the bone, broke off part of the thick pancake, and soaked it into the soup.

Once the pancake soaked up the soup and she began eating…

Oh my god!

Zhuang Qingning felt that this could be the most delicious food she had eaten since her arrival in this world.

This recipe was not bad at all.

[That’s because…]

Stop right there!

As soon as the system was about to start bragging, Zhuang Qingning immediately nipped it in the bud.

[…Host, is it really okay for you to be so violent? After all, I’m the little assistant that can help you get rich, and become the best partner for your success in life!]

Could you, the “best partner,” tell me if there are any tasks that could be useful recently, or any items or recipes that are suitable for me to redeem?

[Let me look it up…]

You go ahead and look, I’ll talk to you after I finish my meal.

Although the system is in her mind and Zhuang Qingsui cannot see or hear it, Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but lose focus whenever she communicated with the system. If Zhuang Qingsui noticed her zoning out as if daydreaming, she may worry or become suspicious.

And most importantly, the delicious braised pork bones deserved her full attention to appreciate the taste. As for the annoying system, it can wait.

[Alright…then…]

As the voice and images in her mind temporarily disappeared, Zhuang Qingning instantly felt relaxed. She continued to focus on eating lunch with Zhuang Qingsui.

Yes, it’s delicious!

Zhuang Qingning squinted her eyes.

After finishing off the delicious lunch, she cleaned up everything. She asked Zhuang Qingsui to tidy up the bed in the room while she stayed in the kitchen and took advantage of the dishwashing time to call the system.

So, did you find anything?

[The tasks are randomly triggered according to the host’s situation, which I can’t predict. Like the previous task where you could view the tasks; only after triggering the first part could you view the name of the second part, but you can’t completely view its content.]

I see, so you can’t view the tasks in advance.

What about the items that are currently redeemable? Let me have a look.

Since I’ve already earned money now and there’s no shortage of daily necessities, those hard-earned effort points shouldn’t go to waste.

[The items that the host can currently redeem are as follows. For the host’s convenience, the system has also listed some items that are missing a few effort points. However, these are grayed out. Host, feel free to take a look.] Zhuang Qingning scrutinized the list closely.

After having earned money now, she didn’t lack daily necessities, so she excluded all of them and focused on the recipes.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, as Zhuang Qingning understood.

Basic tofu curd production recipe…

That doesn’t seem too bad. Building on the base of tofu and making tofu curd sounds good. It could diversify the product range and be conveniently promoted among existing customers.

[The exchange price of the basic tofu curd production recipe is 555 effort points. You’re far from having enough effort points…]

Then…

Zhuang Qingning blinked her eyes. If playing an empty glove, white wolf trick worked once, it should work twice too – there’s no difference.

[Stop! This must not happen again. The system has been suspecting whether it was because you owed effort points that caused the salted duck egg recipe to bug. If another bug occurs because of debt, the system may risk crashing.]

[If that happens, all the items exchanged from the system may be destroyed. It’s a very dangerous act for both the system and the host..]
