The 43rd Skill Upgrade
They are indeed a group of uninvited guests, but that doesn't mean they're here to cause trouble. On the contrary, their excuse for coming is quite legitimate, although their true intention can't shake off the curiosity of seeing the elder sister-in-law...
This thing should start from this morning.
Although the blue star has opened up immigration, the specific matters have not been announced yet. Under government control, residents are still living their lives in an orderly manner, and the sale of family property has begun to take shape.
Even Yuanxi went to buy fish early in the morning, and the price was much cheaper. A whole box of nearly 200 live fish only cost 3,000 credit points. The size of these fish is not small at all, each weighing at least three kilograms. These more than 200 fish are enough for over 600 kilograms. In total, it only takes 3,000 credit points, which means just five credit points per kilogram. It's really a great deal that can't be beat.
It was so cheap that Yuan Xi was moved, and after thinking about it, he simply bought all the fish from this uncle, totaling nearly 700 pieces, spending 10,000 credit points.
Yuanchuan didn't use Yeheng's money, that was their development fund for Blue Star, can't be used randomly, Yuanchuan is very clear about this.
Although these more than 700 items cost 10,000 credit points, which is a very reasonable price, Yuan Xi still felt some pain, this amount of money was not a small sum for him...
I hope so many fish can help him upgrade his cooking skills smoothly and win the title of Little Cooking Master... By the way, cultivating this skill is quite expensive...
So many fish, and they still need to be cleaned up later. The kitchen is out of the question, so Yuanxi simply finds a clean place on the farm, gets everything ready, and starts working.
It's actually not easy to do this job, ordinary people may really can't do it, not to mention how hard and tired, just the smell of fish is unbearable. However, Yuanchuan still did it with great enthusiasm, once he got familiar with it, after dealing with about ten fish, he became more and more skilled, his movements were very quick and handy.
Originally, I just wanted to upgrade my cooking skills, but unexpectedly, my cleaning and tidying skills also started to increase in proficiency, which is a pleasant surprise.
It's said that the initial cleaning of fresh fish requires a cleansing technique, after which the fish is dissected. Yuanxi handled it particularly neatly and efficiently to make the cooking process faster. The smooth fish meat was sliced into pieces, the fish bones were cut into segments, some fresh fish scales were left behind, as well as some fish roe.
He handled it cleanly, categorizing and clearly, the greater the utilization value of a fish, the higher the proficiency rose, of course, also saving money, making the most of the 10,000 credit points.
After dissecting the fish, the edible parts such as the flesh, bones, scales and roe can be sorted out, which requires sorting techniques. Yuan Xi was busy with this task, and the sound of "drip drip drip" kept ringing in his ears. The proficiency of three skills increased simultaneously, it was simply awesome!
When these five uninvited guests arrived, the first thing they saw was Yuan Xi's focused expression and stern posture, single-mindedly dealing with the fresh fish.
They sneaked a peek from the dark corner for a while, and the chubby one couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is this our sister-in-law?"
A crisp voice lowered its tone and said: "Hmmm, later on you can't call her big sister either, the boss won't allow it!"
"Uh-huh, got it, we just call each other behind their backs."
That crisp voice responded with satisfaction.
"What's Big Sister doing?"
To be honest, they are not inexperienced in handling fish. Even someone like Er Bao, who is lazy and has a smart nanny to cook for him, will occasionally take it upon himself to cook a fresh fish.
It's just that at this time, it's not like before. She is their elder sister-in-law, who was favored by the eldest and had a crush on her!
Such an extraordinary person, how can what he does be so ordinary?
Besides, when it comes to dealing with fish, one or two or three or four at most is ten, where can you deal with a small mountain of fresh fish all at once?
However, after staring at it for half a day, apart from the incredibly large quantity, they couldn't find any difference, and no matter how they looked at it, it seemed like they were just preparing to cook fish.
That chubby one couldn't help but ask: "Little Luo, have you seen your sister-in-law? Do you know what this is about?"
Xin Xiaoluo hesitated for a moment, he really didn't understand, but how could he show that he didn't understand? That would be too humiliating!
However, he hesitated for half a day and still couldn't come up with a reliable solution, so he had no choice but to continue hesitating.
Instead, it was another young man with a serious expression who said: "I think this is practicing knife skills!"
Ming You was the most skilled and reliable among them. At this moment, when he spoke, the remaining four people all looked at him in unison.
Ming You also hesitated for a moment, but his appearance was serious and introverted, and this hesitation was much more reliable than Xin Xiaoluo.
"Observe how he holds the knife, the movement of his hands, and the smoothness with which he fillets the fish...". His voice was low, although he was making it up as he went along, but it sounded very convincing. The other four people couldn't help but stare intently, and Ming You continued to say, "Look again at those slices of fish after they've been processed - how thin they are, like paper! And most importantly, the thickness is almost uniform. Look at the scales too, with such a high degree of completeness... This absolutely has to be some kind of unique, mysterious knife technique that's been passed down through generations!"
After Ming Da Xia's detailed explanation, the other four people couldn't help but shine their eyes. Their big sister was indeed extraordinary, and her way of practicing knife skills was so different from others. It was a high-level realm that ordinary people couldn't understand!
Unconsciously, it was already noon. This work had been going on for more than four hours. Yuanyu looked at the time and found that he had only processed sixty fish in such a long time, which was less than one-tenth of the total... He sighed, anxious to eat hot tofu, but lunch still needed to be eaten. Moreover, Yuanyu Cheng was busy on the farm, Lin Su Yun took little Yuan Zhe with her, if he didn't go cook, the whole family would have nothing to eat.
Yuanchi put away all the things and looked at so many fish slices, he had an idea to eat fish in his heart.
A family of people eating a big serving of boiled fish, the spicy flavor, tender and smooth fish meat, paired with white jade-like fragrant rice, is simply delicious.
The fragrance coming out of the small building made the four people hiding outside suddenly rumble in their stomachs... They looked at each other, feeling that the time had come, and Big Sister had finished her practice, it was time for them to go and pay their respects!
Then came a knock at the door, Yuan Xi was puzzled and went to open it. When he took a look, he was somewhat surprised.
There were five people, all in their twenties. Among the five, Yuan Xi didn't recognize four of them, but the one at the front was someone he knew. He said in surprise: "Xin Xiaoluo?"
Xin Xiaoluo smiled and said: "Yuanchi brother, it's me, I've come to see you."
Yuanchi was slightly surprised, but immediately understood. Outside the Blue Star, a starship had been parked all along. It seemed that they were subordinates of Ye Heng. Yuanchi smiled and welcomed them in.
These five big guys, Xin Xiaoluo is the shortest and thinnest, with two of them being very tall, nearly 1.9 meters in height, looking very sturdy as well. They are wearing uniforms of the same color system, silver gray, standing upright. At first glance, you can tell that they are extraordinary, but at this moment, they all look very gentle, and their fierce aura is hidden a lot.
Xin Xiaoluo introduced them, saying that they were a pair of brothers. The older brother was named Mingzuo and the younger one was named Mingyou. The older brother seemed more outgoing, while the younger one was more reserved and spoke less. Both of them greeted Yuanxi.
The last two people, one was about as tall as Yuan Xi, but a bit chubby, and when he smiled, his eyes were not visible. Xin Xiaoluo said his name was An Rui.
The last one was actually the most eye-catching, extremely beautiful, no mistake, it's a man, but really can only be described with the word "beautiful", silver long hair, light gray pupils, smooth and delicate skin, wearing the same style military uniform, but his figure seemed somewhat weak.
Xin Xiao Luo introduced: "Yuan Xi Ge, this is Yumiya."
Yimia's voice was pleasant to hear, he looked at Yuanchi, seeming a bit embarrassed, and only softly said: "Mr. Yuan."
Yuanyu also smiled and returned the courtesy.
They entered the house, and surprisingly, no one was empty-handed. They brought many things in big and small bags, some for Yuan Xi, some for Yuan Yu Cheng and his wife, and even prepared small gifts for each of the little Yuan Zhe.
No matter about the gift, this kind of thought is hard to come by.
Yuan Cheng and Lin Suyun came out, listened to Yuan Xi's brief introduction, immediately understood the situation, and warmly entertained them.
At this time, they came over, needless to say, they must not have eaten yet. Yuan Xi had a plan in mind and saw Yuan Yu Cheng couple treating them, he turned around and entered the kitchen.
Making some complex dishes temporarily is not allowed in terms of time, but there are really many fish slices, especially since they were cut very thinly, and paired with the fresh soup simmered from fish bones and fish racks before eating, as long as seasonings are prepared, a quick blanch of the tender fish slices is also delicious.
Yuanyu poured more oil into the pot and quickly fried a plate of fish scales. This fried fish scale is extremely simple, but the fire control is very difficult to grasp. If done well, it's crispy and delicious, if not, it may be hard to bite.
Considering the taste of outsiders, Yuanyu specially prepared a yuanyang pot, which can cater to both those who like spicy food and those who cannot eat spicy food at the same time. The only thing is that I don't know if there are people who don't like eating fish...
At the moment, there's no time to think about that. It was a sudden arrival and there wasn't even a word of notice beforehand. Yuanxi thought to himself, since there are those who don't eat fish, he would quickly stir-fry some green vegetables instead.
Fortunately, none of these five people were picky eaters. Let alone fish, they often had nutrition meals that had been stored for several months in the past...
A warship is not a passenger ship. In an emergency situation, those harsh conditions are not something that delicate people can withstand.
Against Yuan Xi's expectations, the person who could eat the spiciest food in this house was actually that delicate-looking Emiya, and he ate a super large amount. In just a few minutes, the two plates of fish slices in front of him were completely cleaned up.
But the one who can't eat spicy food is surprisingly Min You, who looks steady... Not being able to eat spicy food is fine, but what's key is that he actually likes eating it. He eats while being unable to handle the spiciness... But he still persists in continuing to eat... The two plates of fish meat in front of him, and half a day has passed with less than half a plate eaten.
Yimia finished eating her own, a pair of beautiful eyes took a look, Xin Xiaoluo was the first to be alert, he immediately protected his own, it was a watertight, Er Pang Anrui also immediately reacted, only on the other side, being spicy and confused, Ming You... lost his guard... was robbed alive of a large plate...
Yuan Xi looked at him with a smile, turned around and went into the house, and quickly prepared several dishes.
After finishing this meal, Yuan Xi couldn't help but be tongue-tied. He had handled a total of sixty fish, roughly estimated to be one hundred and eighty catties, which meant the fish meat should have been at least sixty catties. But now, it was actually short by a full sixth...
Five people ate ten kilograms of fish meat, with an average of two kilograms per person. Yuan Xi said that he and his little friends were all stunned!
This glutton, I've never seen anyone like him before...
The five of them ate very well, and only when they were about to leave did they solemnly leave behind a small device the size of a button, which had adhesive properties and could be attached to any fabric, making it very convenient.
Xin Xiaoluo said to Yuan Xi: "Brother Yuan Xi, if you have anything, just contact us. As long as you press the communicator, we will arrive at the first time!"
Yuanchi looked at the button and didn't decline, smiling and saying: "Good."
Xin Xiao Luo and his group left, Yuan Xi rested for a while before rejoining the experience brushing campaign.
For the skill upgrade on this system, Yuan Xi had some experience after so long. Although each time he processed different things, his proficiency increased a lot, but relatively speaking, the difficulty was also much higher. To know that fish have their own processing methods, chickens and ducks as well as large livestock, each has its own differences.
Relatively speaking, Yuanxi chose fish, which has a relatively high cost-effectiveness ratio. It's simple to process and easy to operate, although it requires a larger quantity. However, considering the fact that there are 100 species of animals, just finding them all on this impoverished blue planet is quite an effort.
After being busy for four days and processing nearly 500 fish, the cooking skill has finally been upgraded!
Indeed, as Yuan Xi had thought, he successfully obtained the title of "Piao Ding Little Prodigy", and immediately afterwards, a series of three consecutive beeps sounded in his ear.
Yuanchi quickly opened the system panel, and wow, these four days were really not wasted.
Housekeeping skill, Cleaning skill and Cooking skill all leveled up! Three consecutive pages popped out, prompting him to accept the rewards.
Yuan Xi was overjoyed, what's more exciting than getting a reward after hard work?
He first accepted the reward of the sorting technique, and then heard the stiff voice of the system: "Sorting Technique Level 2 Reward, Upgrade Package to Wooden Box."
The package has turned into a wooden box...... What does this description mean...... Is it referring to the package getting bigger?
Cough cough, Yuan Xi endured his curiosity and waited until the upgrade prompt was over. He then opened the 'wooden box' to take a look, and indeed it had been upgraded!
Not only are there twenty more grids, but the interface is also much more beautiful. At first glance, it really looks like a luxurious golden treasure chest.
Yuān Xī hastily received the reward for the Purification Technique. As for this auxiliary skill, Yuān Xī didn't have any particular thoughts about it. Even if he obtained the title of Great Purification Master, he wouldn't feel the slightest surprise.
But he didn't expect that this hopeless cleaning technique would actually bring him an unexpected surprise.
