Chapter 251 No amount of bonus can compare to natural growth
[A box of level 2 strawberries originally priced at yuan. If half of it is upgraded to level , it will cost yuan, and if the other half is upgraded to special level, it will cost system coins. Are you sure you want to upgrade?] After listening to Zhao Xiaojing's request, the system confirmed again.
"Yes." Zhao Xiaojing nodded and secretly sighed that the upgrade was quite expensive. 5 yuan was okay, but 0 system coins were really expensive. You have to know that her current total balance, including the upgrade reward she just got, was only 2 system coins.
But I have already purchased the cooking course anyway, and there won’t be many places to spend system coins later, so I should be able to save them up for the future.
While I was thinking, the strawberries in the box changed their appearance.
The strawberries, which were originally the size of a thumb and had uneven colors, and fit perfectly into the box, were now thrown out of their original boxes and neatly stacked on the table in front of them, automatically dividing into two piles.
The pile on the left is almost the size of an adult's palm. Each one is plump and even, bright red and shiny, and looks very festive. A dozen strawberries put together make the ordinary table feel like a gift box.
The pile on the right is half the size of the ones on the left, also plump and round, with regular shapes. The golden seeds and emerald green leaves make the strawberries look particularly bright red, which is extremely cute.
Zhao Xiaojing took one from each side, summoned the quick module to clean it with one click, and then took a bite of the strawberry on the left to taste it.
"Hmm!" Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as soon as she took the strawberry on the left into her mouth.
The strawberry on the left is juicy. Take a light bite and the rich strawberry aroma fills your mouth. If you chew it carefully, you can taste a hint of milky flavor in the sweetness, making the whole strawberry mellow and sweet.
Zhao Xiaojing enjoyed eating a palm-sized strawberry, and her stomach, which had not yet digested dinner, instantly felt full again.
There was still a slightly sweet taste in her mouth after eating. Zhao Xiaojing rinsed her mouth like her instructor did during exams before picking up the strawberry on the right and eating it.
As soon as she took a bite, Zhao Xiaojing widened her eyes slightly, looked at the strawberry in her hand, and the light in her eyes brightened a little.
The strawberry on the right is sour and sweet, but the sweetness and sourness is just right, not greasy nor sour, and it has a special strawberry flavor. One bite makes people feel that this strawberry must have grown very healthily, absorbing the sunlight and rain very well, and must have grown naturally in the right season, making people feel very happy and nourished when eating it.
Although the one on the left tastes good, Zhao Xiaojing feels that it is more like some kind of high-end technical training, and in order to show that it is high-end and expensive, it comes with additional products such as a light milky flavor.
Although it tastes amazing at first bite and is much better than ordinary strawberries, when she eats the right side, she instantly feels like she has returned to nature. Strength can defeat skill, and no amount of added flavors can compare to the taste that natural growth gives it.
In order to verify her idea, Zhao Xiaojing turned on the excellence assessment module again.
The palm-sized strawberry on the left: [Eastern Province Milk Fragrance 9 9 9 Diamond Strawberry, Quality: First Class]
The sweet and sour strawberry on the right: [Natural strawberry specially supplied by the system, quality: premium]
As expected, Zhao Xiaojing's eyes were full of joy. The special grade given by the system was the same as the special grade in her mind.
She had seen the milky 9 diamond strawberry in the supermarket, but she had an impression of it because it was expensive. At that time, this kind of strawberry in the fruit section was very beautiful. There were about a dozen strawberries in a box, and the price was 9. However, the appearance and size were not as good as the system-optimized ones.
As for the premium strawberries specially supplied by the system, they can probably only be purchased through the system.
Zhao Xiaojing tapped the table with her fingers and looked at the strawberries on the table with satisfaction.
Before the experiment, she still had some doubts. After all, food ingredients were graded in the vegetable market, and the good and bad could be seen at a glance. If she wanted to buy good ones, she could just increase the price. Why would she need to buy them first and then use the system to improve them?
But through the optimization of strawberries, she found that it was more economical and convenient to process them through the system, at least much cheaper than buying them directly on the market.
Take these dozen strawberries for example, the ones sold in supermarkets are not as big or as pretty as these, and a box costs 1 yuan, while the ones optimized by the system only cost 3 yuan in total.
Not to mention buying this kind of foreign strawberries. In order to reduce the loss rate before transportation, you must not pick fully ripe fruits, but pick them before they are ripe. Then ripen them, and the taste is still far from that of the ripe fruits directly optimized by the system.
This is also the reason why many things do not taste good when they are removed from their place of origin, even though the cooking methods and ingredients used are the same.
It feels so good to cheat! Zhao Xiaojing shook her head happily while returning to the system page to check the next item.
Next, behind the quality inspection module, the original mall began to flash.
Zhao Xiaojing clicked on it and found that it was the module under the mall - the recipe module that was flashing.
Recipe?! Zhao Xiaojing sat up straight with excitement and clicked on it hastily.
Only then did I realize that there was no new recipe, but that in addition to the recipes that had already been obtained, the recipe module had a new branch added, which read "Collection".
Zhao Xiaojing clicked on it puzzled, and saw a long list of dish names, followed by a percentage, and finally two buttons of different colors, one red for purchase, and the other green for activated.
【Three Fresh Vegetables: 7%????????? Available for purchase
Kung Pao Chicken: 5 9% Activated
Spicy and sour chicken offal: 6 0% available for purchase
Cold cabbage: 8 2%????? Available for purchase
Fried pork liver: 6 7%????? Available for purchase
Stir-fried beef: 8 9%? Available
Fried pork with pepper: 9 1%????? Available for purchase
Dry Pot Lamb Chops: 5 3%??????Activated
…?】
The names of the dishes are all from the rice bowl menu sold in the store. In addition, there are some dishes that she cooks more often and that she is quite satisfied with.
Zhao Xiaojing read the function description carefully and then she suddenly realized it.
It turns out that the collection function is used to collect recipes, and the collection method is very simple. As long as the dish made by Zhao Xiaojing herself reaches more than 5% of the system recipe level of this dish, the collection function can be activated and displayed on the collection page.
After activation, you can select the green button and a small prompt will pop up on the activated page.
Zhao Xiaojing can continue to practice cooking this dish according to the prompts. After her cooking level reaches 6%, she can purchase the system recipe for this dish.
Depending on the level, the system coins required to buy the dish are different. For example, Zhao Xiaojing can buy the spicy pork recipe with a level of 9% directly with 1 system coins, while the spicy and sour chicken offal, which just passed the level, requires Zhao Xiaojing to spend 1 system coins.
Zhao Xiaojing suddenly became conflicted.
Recipes are important, and ingredients are also important. Both of these important things require system coins, but she only has 1 system coins in total. She would feel heartbroken no matter which one she buys!
