After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 293 Upgrade Rewards

Chapter 293 Upgrade Rewards

"Congratulations, host! You have been promoted to Level One Chef! Reward: One All-Purpose Seasoning!"

Upon hearing that the Chef God System had been upgraded, Chu Dashu barely ate a few pieces of braised pork before rushing into the system to see what was going on.

Putting aside the reward for now, Chu Dashu wanted to figure out exactly how he leveled up.

He hasn't even finished peeling his ton of radishes yet!

"System, system, how exactly did I level up!" Just when Chu Dashu thought the system would remain silent again, the system spoke up.

"Host has received positive reviews from ten people and has successfully been promoted to a Level One Chef God!"

"Ten people?" Chu Dashu counted the number of people eating in his family. Excluding the children, there were more than ten adults.

So, system upgrades don't require constantly peeling carrots!

Chu Dashu felt his back, which had been bent from peeling radishes, straighten up again.

He, Chu Dashu, is back in action!

After understanding how to upgrade, Chu Dashu excitedly went to check his upgrade rewards.

"No, system, I'm the all-powerful seasoning!"

Chu Dashu excitedly opened the box of the all-purpose seasoning, only to be dumbfounded; it was completely empty.

"Host, just silently say the seasoning you want, and it will appear."

Now Chu Dashu became interested; so that's how rewards are used.

He silently chanted "vinegar," and a bottle of vinegar immediately appeared before his eyes. Chu Dashu took the vinegar out of the compartment and put it back in. Then he silently chanted "light soy sauce," "dark soy sauce," and even "oyster sauce," repeating each one.

Finally, he suddenly realized what he needed: candy!

This is the most expensive thing in ancient times. If he could take the candy out, wouldn't that be... hehe!

Chu Dashu tried taking the sugar out and found that it worked. Then he got a portion of brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar, and even a portion of honey.

Upon tasting the sweet flavor, Chu Dashu burst out laughing.

Chu Sange, who slept with him, was woken up by his younger brother. Seeing that his brother could still laugh in his sleep, he couldn't help but laugh too.

The meat he ate today was so delicious that he had to laugh out loud. Then he rolled over and happily went back to sleep.

Chu Dashu woke up the next day feeling refreshed and energized.

He felt incredibly stupid before. Now that he knew the key to upgrading, he needed to carefully plan his next steps to improve his culinary skills.

He decided to try cooking with the all-purpose seasoning first, so he volunteered to cook again.

"Do I still need to cook?" Aunt Chu's hand trembled.

I was having such a good time eating meat yesterday that I forgot to give this spendthrift son a good beating.

“Son, you know our family’s situation, right? We only ate one meal yesterday. If we eat like this again today, the villagers will come knocking on our door.”

Chu Dashu then realized that he hadn't told his family about having money, and that his family hadn't seen the things he bought yesterday.

Well, yesterday everyone's attention was completely drawn to the braised pork.

After all, which family in this village would be willing to eat so much meat? Even the wealthy village chief's family wouldn't dare to eat so freely.

Chu Dashu touched his nose and guiltily told everyone how he made his money.

I also went to the corner of the kitchen and took out all the things I bought yesterday. Of course, the fish was already burping as much as it could possibly burp anymore.

Goodness, the Chu family only believed that they were truly wealthy after seeing what Chu Dashu had taken out.

Seeing the dead fish, Sister-in-law Chu felt extremely regretful. How come she didn't see it yesterday? Such a big fish, and it died with its eyes bulging out.

"Mom, now I can cook, right?"

"Yes, yes, if my little brother wants to cook, then let him! Little brother, why don't you make that braised pork again!" Brother Chu spoke first. If his little brother cooks, then we'll have meat to eat today.

Aunt Chu had just received the money from her son, so she couldn't turn against him. As for the braised pork, she thought Brother Chu looked like that braised pork!

"Alright, Big Tree. You can do it then!"

Although that's what Aunt Chu said, she actually hid all the things that Chu Dashu had bought. She put the chickens in the yard and even cleaned the fish, intending to hang them up high to dry.

They thought that this way, Chu Dashu wouldn't be able to mess with the things in the house.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Chu Dashu's determination. If he couldn't find where the fish were hiding, wouldn't he be able to catch the chicken?

After chasing the little rooster around countless times, Chu Dashu pounced on it and knocked it unconscious.

After skillfully bleeding the chicken with a knife, Chu Dashu began to cook his famous dish, chicken stew with mushrooms.

Well, at least his mother didn't hide the mushrooms.

Besides a jar of coarse salt, the kitchen only contained a pickle jar; luckily, he had a versatile seasoning.

Yesterday, his mother and sister-in-law talked to him about blanching the chicken, so this time he didn't blanch the young rooster. He just added some golden peanut oil and stir-fried the chicken in the pan.

Don't ask where the oil came from, haha, Chu Dashu didn't expect the system to categorize oil as a condiment.

Not only peanut oil, sesame oil, but also olive oil, walnut oil—as long as Chu Dashu says the name, the system immediately provides a bottle of oil, all of the highest quality.

Using my all-purpose seasoning, I started cooking the famous dish, Chicken Stew with Mushrooms.

The Chu family members working in the fields were all distracted today, wondering what delicious food their son/brother/uncle/elder brother had prepared.

Only Aunt Chu wasn't worried. She had locked everything up. How could this house be built like this? It was only because she managed things well and was frugal that the family could support so many people.

"Hey, Auntie, did you have meat yesterday?" The neighbor auntie couldn't help but ask Aunt Chu, since they could smell the meat in her house yesterday.

"Hey, isn't this my youngest son back? I just cut a little meat."

Aunt Chu didn't want to brag about how she ate a huge bowl of meat yesterday. Believe me, as soon as she told the story, someone would come to her door to borrow money.

The neighbor lady wanted to ask how the meat was cooked and why it smelled so good, but Aunt Chu politely declined, saying that her son had cooked it and she didn't know.

When the sun came up, the whole family rushed home.

When I got to my doorstep, the aroma was there again.

Ah, chicken!

Aunt Chu was furious. "You little brat!"

However, seeing the rich and flavorful chicken and mushroom stew, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She decided to finish eating first and then settle the score with him later!

As expected, Chu Dashu received ten more positive reviews this time, but why didn't the system upgrade this time?

"System, System, why didn't you upgrade this time?"

The system didn't speak, but just flashed the experience bar in front of him. Chu Dashu was a little dumbfounded. Why was there an experience bar?

"The number of positive reviews received by the host is insufficient to advance to level two at this time!"

Fortunately, the Chef God System thoughtfully provided an explanation, and now Chu Dashu finally understood what was going on. An idea also sprouted in his mind.
