The next day, Jiang Jiankang and w.a.n.g Xiulian rose bright and early in the morning to open the shop. Healthy Restaurant did not usually sell breakfast options, but under the "huge pressure" of debt, Jiang Jiankang had decided to push aside his laziness and work hard to earn money, in order to lay a good foundation for his grandson"s catering business in the future.Although Jiang Feng"s cooking skills were also quite good, as a child he had been taught by Jiang Wei, an old friend of theirs. However, judging from just his figure, Jiang Jiankang felt that his son would not be able to take up the mantle.
Thin guys were indeed pleasing to the eye in today"s aesthetic sense, but they would not make good choices for chefs.
In Jiang Jiankang"s view, each of his three nephews had great potential to become chefs.
It was a pity that even with all three of their talents combined, they would not surpa.s.s Jiang Feng.
After feeling a moment of regret that Jiang Feng, who had improved the Jiang family"s usual genes of being big and fat, could not be an excellent cook. Jiang Jiankang started the business operations for the day.
...
As Jiang Jiankang"s only son, Jiang Feng had inherited his good habit of sleeping in.
The alarm clock sounded at 10"oclock sharp. Jiang Feng closed his eyes and pressed the snooze b.u.t.ton on the alarm clock habitually, but the prompting sound in his brain woke him up completely.
"Ding, there is an optional side quest, please make your choice."
Still lying on the bed, he tapped open the control panel with squinted eyes, as expected, there were changes in the side quest column.
Side Quests: (Options)

Jiang Feng: …
He silently clicked no on the first task, yes on the third relatively normal task, and saved the second task for later. Although he did not know why w.a.n.g Xiulian"s demands on her future daughter-in-law were so strange, there was no doubt that he needed a girlfriend.
If only the game could a.s.sign me a girlfriend.

2. [Neighbor"s Wish] Chen Xiuxiu, Chen Duxiu"s daughter, has been addicted to dieting recently. Please complete the neighbor"s wish to help Chen Xiuxiu resume a normal diet.
Quest Tip: Chen Xiuxiu has symptoms of anorexia due to an excessive diet and self-induced vomiting. The Player has to hurry.
Task Reward: Unknown
Chen Xiuxiu had actually developed symptoms of anorexia due to excessive dieting, Jiang Feng frowned slightly while closing the control panel.
There were two steamed buns in the pot. They were the breakfast that w.a.n.g Xiulian had left for him. Jiang Feng sat at the dining table, silently eating the lukewarm steamed buns while thinking about how to get Chen Xiuxiu back to a normal diet.
In a sense, Chen Xiuxiu could be regarded as Jiang Feng"s childhood sweetheart. Chen Xiuxiu was one year younger than Jiang Feng. As she came from a family with a single parent, and her father was busy with his work, her lunch and dinner had always been in Jiang Feng"s small family shop. With the love of Jiang Jiankang, Chen Xiuxiu now bore the trademark Jiang family characteristics, big, strong, and fat.
Upon thinking about it now Jiang Feng had not seen Chen Xiuxiu for more than a year. As a longtime neighbor, this was obviously an abnormal matter.
The clock pointed at 10:40 sharp after he had breakfast and tidied up his clothes. It was 11:00 when he arrived at the shop, which was the period where the shop was busy and needed helpers and delivery men. It was the summer vacation now so finding cheap student workers was tough. They could only find free family workers.
Upon pushing open the door, he saw Chen Duxiu and a chubby young girl sitting at the first table.
It was Chen Xiuxiu.
Chen Xiuxiu used to get mistaken as Jiang Feng"s cousin whenever they went out to play together with his three cousins. However, using the phrase "to cast off one"s old self and take on a new self" to describe her body shape now would not be weird.
There were four plates on the table, all of them specialty dishes of Jiang Jiankang.
Seeing Jiang Feng come in, Chen Xiuxiu nodded slightly at him with a glum look.
[A plate of delectable Kung Pao Chicken]
[A plate of perfectly done Pan-Seared Chili Pepper]
[A plate of lightly salted Braised Intestines]
[A plate of refreshing Stir-Fried Lotus Root]
Jiang Jiankang did not have many opportunities to prepare the Braised Intestines throughout the year, so some imperfections were normal.
"Xiuxiu, your Uncle Jiang has specially prepared these large intestines for you. Why don"t you just take one bite, have a taste." Chen Duxiu coaxed.
"I"m not eating!" Chen Xiuxiu"s voice was low, and irritation was written across her face. "I told you that I"m on a diet, and you still brought me to Uncle Chen"s shop and ordered so many dishes! You"re just going to make me fat like this! "
"You only drink plain porridge at home every day and do yoga on top of that. How can your body stand it? You were fine, but ever since you went to university, you"ve been talking non stop about losing weight. You"re already quite thin now. You don"t need to lose weight!" Chen Duxiu was still coaxing her in a soothing voice.
"It"s normal that she can"t stomach such greasy food in such sweltering weather." Seeing that a father-daughter war was on the verge of happening, Jiang Feng jumped out to appease them, "Have some lotus roots, I"ll go prepare some cuc.u.mber salad for you."
As a child, Chen Xiuxiu"s dinner started with a cuc.u.mber salad.
There was only one table of guests in the shop, and Jiang Feng did need to greet them or do much. He went straight into the back kitchen, the heat waves warming his cheeks immediately.
w.a.n.g Xiulian was washing vegetables. When she looked up and saw Jiang Feng, her first thought was to drive him out.
"What are you doing here? It"s such a hot day. Isn"t Xiuxiu outside? You should have a talk with her father, it"s quite normal for a little girl to want to be beautiful and lose weight. There"s no reason to force her to eat. Besides, did you see the dish your father made? It"s so oily and greasy, even I can"t eat it. "
Jiang Jiankang, who had outperformed himself: ...
"I think Xiuxiu"s original appearance was very good. Although she is a little chubby, she looks strong." Jiang Jiankang muttered in a low voice to express his cherished memory of Chen Xiuxiu"s once tall and st.u.r.dy figure.
Jiang Feng expertly took a cuc.u.mber out of w.a.n.g Xiulian"s bowl of vegetables that she had already washed, peeled it, sliced it, and then patted it flat with the back of a knife.
"I"ll whip up a cuc.u.mber salad for her." Jiang Feng explained.
He poured vinegar, and then added the special chili oil made by Jiang Jiankang. Jiang Feng went out with the dish that he had washed sparkling clean last night.
[A plate of regular Cuc.u.mber Salad]
When he brought the cuc.u.mber salad to Chen Xiuxiu, she was still acting in a fit of pique with her father. She was stubbornly refusing to pick up her chopsticks.
"This child, didn"t you like to eat cuc.u.mber salads best when you were a child?" Seeing that Chen Xiuxiu was still refusing to eat, Chen Duxiu started to feel anxious and worried.
Chen Xiuxiu lowered her head, refusing to look at him.
The father and daughter had a standoff for a while, and the shop began to get busy as guests started trickling in. Jiang Feng began to greet the guests and send the orders to the kitchen.
"Ding, gained 3 experience points." Hearing the notification tone, Jiang Feng looked at Chen Xiuxiu instinctively.
She was eating the cuc.u.mber salad.
"Xiaofeng, please pack these up for me." Chen Duxiu said helplessly.
Jiang Feng went to get the takeaway boxes and saw Chen Xiuxiu taking another serving of cuc.u.mber salad with her chopsticks.
"Ding, gained 3 experience points."
He would gain experience points when others ate his dishes.
Jiang Feng concluded in his mind.
Chen Duxiu had to leave first to attend to some matters. Chen Xiuxiu was left sitting with Jiang Feng to pack the dishes into the takeaway boxes.
"It"s not that I think Uncle Jiang"s food is not delicious." Chen Xiuxiu said in a m.u.f.fled voice, "I"m just afraid that I won"t be able to control myself after eating the first bite."
"Dieting to lose weight is not good for your health." Jiang Feng said, "Making yourself vomit is even worse."
Chen Xiuxiu didn"t speak and left with the takeaway boxes.
