Chapter 49: Fu Ya's Poisonous Recommendation

Burp!

Fu Ya let out a satisfied burp, blushing as she covered her mouth.

She stole a glance at Qi Han, who was busy cleaning up in the kitchen, seemingly unaware of her peculiar behavior, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the empty tin foil in front of her, Fu Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Oh no, she ate the brain of the Honey Badger. Is she going to become an evil spirit master now?

Wuwuwu...

Qi Han finished tidying up the kitchen and glanced at Fu Ya, who looked dejected. He smiled faintly.

Hmm, judging from Fu Ya's reaction, it seems that the people of the Douluo Continent have a relatively high acceptance of brain flowers and honey badger intestines.

【Host, are you sure this is considered high acceptance?】

Qi Han shrugged. "It's good enough. It's better than I expected."

【Ding!】

【Mission triggered!】

【Time-Limited mission: New Dish Promotion Please sell one thousand servings of each of the three new dishes within five days!

Mission description: Since the host believes there is no problem, let the show begin! The system is looking forward to it~ Mission reward: Two fragments of a one-star self-selected recipe】

Huh?

Five days, one thousand servings each?

(System, can I take back what I just said?)

【It's too late.】

Damn it! Qi Han rubbed his head in pain. Selling one thousand servings of Honey-Glazed Ribs was not a big deal.

But as for the Exploding Honey Badger Intestines and Tin Foil Roasted Brain Flower... To achieve a relatively high level of acceptance among the people of the Douluo Continent in just five days... The difficulty is on a hellish level.

I can't do this. I need to use a seduction plan!

"Fu Ya!"

"Boss?" Qi Han's call instantly snapped Fu Ya out of her despondency, and she entered work mode. "What's the matter?"

"For the next five days, you can recommend the new dishes to the customers a bit more."

Recommend the new dishes. Faced with the boss's request, Fu Ya hesitated unusually.

Seeing Fu Ya's hesitant expression, Qi Han made another offer, "For each serving of Exploding Honey Badger Intestines and Tin Foil Roasted Brain Flower that you sell, you'll earn a one-gold coin commission!"

Ding ling ling!

Fu Ya's eyes instantly emitted the gleam of gold coins.

"Alright, Boss!"

After packing up the bowls, chopsticks, and tableware and placing them in the dishwasher, Fu Ya bid farewell to Qi Han and returned to Shrek Academy.

Watching Fu Ya leave, Qi Han closed the door slowly and entered the system space.

He still hadn't been able to break through the hurdle of deboning the whole fish in Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb. Due to this, his knife skills had reached the level of semi-mastery, and his first spirit ring had turned yellow with a hint of purple.

He didn't know which would come first, successfully deboning the whole fish or obtaining the Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

As for Qi Han's second spirit ring, it was still a Ten-Year Spirit Ring. This made Qi Han determined to focus on his carving skills in the future.

"Ghost Carving" had already been placed by the system on the bedside table in his room, but Qi Han hadn't had a chance to open it yet.

Once he finished this busy period, he would prioritize practicing carving.

The difficulty of Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb was not only reflected in the deboning process. Although deboning the whole fish was still challenging, the subsequent steps were not easy either.

To achieve perfection, it would require extensive practice.

Fortunately, after advancing to a junior chef, the flow of time within the training space had been further accelerated. Two months inside were equivalent to just one day outside. At this rate, he could significantly shorten the time it took to master this dish.

If I work a bit harder, I should be able to achieve it within a week, right? The system previously mentioned that Three-Star Recipes not only had special effects, but when they appeared in extraordinary planes like the Douluo Continent, they would also exhibit some peculiar phenomena that couldn't be observed in the training space. Qi Han was quite curious about these so-called phenomena.

Could it be something like glowing Egg Fried Rice?

Grasping a live fish from the water tank, Qi Han's knife skillfully glided across the fish's body.

Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb, here I come!

【Error occurred, fish meat damaged during deboning. Please restart, Host.】

"I'm back."

Carefully pushing open the dormitory door, Fu Ya sighed in relief when she saw that Ying Shuang was still awake. She spoke a little louder.

"You've been gone for a long time this time. Did the boss come back?" Ying Shuang turned her head with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Yes." Fu Ya nodded, and then she saw Ying Shuang jump off the bed.

"Great! I can finally taste the boss's Egg Fried Rice!" Ying Shuang's eyes had already turned into the shape of Egg Fried Rice.

"Oh, by the way!" Ying Shuang recalled the content on Qi Han's leave card. "It seems like the boss will have new dishes when he comes back. Do you know what they are?"

New dishes. Fu Ya's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered, and Ying Shuang didn't notice anything unusual. She looked at Fu Ya curiously, hoping to get firsthand information about the new dishes.

"Well," Fu Ya pondered for a moment before speaking, "the boss should have three new dishes this time."

"Three?!" Ying Shuang's eyes lit up. "Do you know specifically what they are?"

(Not only do I know, I've also eaten them) Fu Ya silently commented in her heart, and then her expression turned slightly strange.

Come to think of it, the boss mentioned that for every serving of Tin Foil Roasted Brain Flower or Exploding Honey Badger Intestines she recommends and sells, she would receive a commission of one gold coin. Ying Shuang is so naive, she'll definitely be easy to persuade, right?

Based on Ying Shuang's past behavior, Fu Ya silently gave a definite answer in her heart.

(Let's start with Ying Shuang.)

With that in mind, Fu Ya quickly put on a bright smile. "The reason I came back late is because I helped the boss experiment with the new dishes."

"So you've tasted all three new dishes?" Ying Shuang widened her eyes, envy shining in them.

"Yes." Fu Ya nodded, then looked around and leaned closer to Ying Shuang's ear, speaking in a low voice.

"One of the boss's new dishes is called Exploding Honey Badger Intestines. It smells strange but tastes incredibly good. Trust me, you'll know when you try it tomorrow."

"Smells strange but tastes good?" Ying Shuang's eyes brightened. "I understand! We have a food called Stinky Sea Fish at home, and it's the same."

"I never expected Boss Qi Han to cook this kind of dish. I must try it tomorrow!"

Seeing Ying Shuang being so enthusiastic, Fu Ya nodded in satisfaction.

A young one can be taught.

"There's another dish called Tin Foil Roasted Brain Flower. It looks strange but tastes delicious."

"Oh, I know about that!" Fu Ya didn't even have a chance to show off her persuasion skills before Ying Shuang interrupted her.

Ying Shuang's eyes lit up once again. "We have a fruit in our canteen called Ugly Orange. It looks ugly, but it's super sweet!"

Fu Ya fell silent. She felt that her best friend couldn't be described as easily persuaded anymore.

This move... is a self-inflicted trap.

But that's okay. +2 Gold Coins.

She just didn't know how Ying Shuang would feel after realizing that she had been sold for two gold coins by her best friend.
