Chapter 010 Three Hundred Likes

Pan Ke felt a shiver run through her entire body, thinking to herself, "Brother, are you out of your mind? Are you trying to help me lose weight or what?"

People die comparing with others, and goods are discarded when compared with one another. Interns working in the same Su cuisine water platform are, to put it bluntly, competitors. It would be strange if he felt no pressure at all

Well, it's nothing

Zhou Dong looked at Sister Guan in a peculiar way, feeling somewhat unusual in his heart. He did not expect that his first random task would come so suddenly

I peeled off a piece of potato skin, and there was a black spot underneath. Judging by the shape of this black spot, it is already completely rotten inside

Dozens of potatoes, while rotating on their own axis, formed a circle and began to spin clockwise. Observing the first potato that had been thrown into the basin gradually come to a stop, Zhou Dong quickly extended his right hand into the basin and stirred counterclockwise continuously. The water flowed vigorously, and immediately more black muddy water surged up from the bottom of the basin, while each potato completely separated itself from the old mud and hard grime clinging to its skin.

Between the potatoes, a mutual force is formed, causing strands of black muddy water to rise to the surface of the water

Zhou Dong shook his head and threw a potato aside: "This potato is spoiled, what a pity"

Pan Ke hurriedly poured out the old water and filled the container with fresh water, then obediently stepped aside to quietly watch Zhou Dong demonstrate. The young man with a fair complexion, whom she had just met, was certainly not to be underestimated; this skillful technique of washing vegetables was something that required careful study.

Let me take a look

Xiao Zhou, you have worked hard, well done. Once you finish washing up, take a rest. Would you like to have some water?

How could it be broken? You can know without even peeling the skin? I don't believe it

It is said that before the establishment of New China, the eight major culinary traditions and dozens of smaller culinary schools were in fierce competition, often unable to communicate with one another and even harboring mutual animosity. Every three years, a grand culinary competition would be held, during which skilled chefs would showcase their extraordinary techniques.

Looking at Zhou Dong, who has forcefully turned washing vegetables into an art form, the chubby man began to struggle internally

Zhou Dong nodded as a matter of course, then set down seven or eight potatoes that had been deemed spoiled. The chubby man, feeling quite unconvinced, took them for verification, only to find that this pretty boy's accuracy was actually one hundred percent

Change the water

Wow, the spiral strength!

What are the benefits of rest? When he has nothing to do, his condition makes him prone to overthinking, which leads to a very bad mood and subsequently affects his sleep at night! Watching other pools busy washing vegetables and potatoes, Zhou Dong's heart is almost broken; these potatoes should belong to him!

It feels good; washing potatoes is such a simple task that not only helps upgrade skills but also brings him joy, which is greatly beneficial for his condition. Zhou Dong is reluctant to stop and rest at this moment

Brother Zhou, you are impressive. I fully admire you. How about this: from now on, I will follow you...

Pan Ke's greatest enemy in this life is the excess fat on his body. What weight loss methods has he not tried? He has seriously taken medication, gone swimming, run half marathons, and learned fitness; he even has a certain understanding of Chinese martial arts. He just cannot comprehend how Zhou Dong applied such techniques to potatoes.

However, she has not seen it with her own eyes and cannot confirm whether Zhou Dong's technique is indeed the legendary method of washing vegetables

In the blink of an eye, dozens of potatoes were successively thrown into the water by Zhou Dong. When the last potato spun into the water, the first potato thrown into the basin was still spinning.

Seeing that Zhou Dong did not explicitly express any opposition, the chubby man took the opportunity and put his arm around Zhou Dong's shoulder: "Brother Zhou, since you don't oppose it, I will take it as your agreement."

Random task triggered: Please obtain three hundred compliments from the opposite sex within three days. Special note: Completing this task and upgrading the master-level vegetable washing to perfect level will grant you one opportunity to draw from a medium-level treasure chest

I am not tired, Sister Guan, I still want to continue, but the remaining potatoes have all been distributed to other pools by you

The host's diligent work ethic has garnered praise from the opposite sex

Immediately

That's great, Brother Zhou, why don't you take a break and let me wash these potatoes?

The praise from the opposite sex has thus accumulated to two. Zhou Dong couldn't help but glance at Sister Guan, realizing that this praise could come from the same person. If that's the case, should he work even harder to perform, so that Sister Guan would give him three hundred likes? That might not be good; it would be too much effort for her.

The overweight individual had been feeling stifled for a long time and finally found an opportunity to spar with Zhou Dong. Despite his size, he was a well-read person with a sharp mind, and his debating skills far surpassed those of his peers. As long as Zhou Dong fell into his trap, he would be able to unleash his true self

Yes, yes, Zhou Dong has not yet responded, and Pan Ke is already busy nodding vigorously. In this short time, he has changed the water three times, and in between, he also had to clean the vegetable basin. Is it easy for a body weighing over 200 pounds? He is already drenched in sweat. It's good to be hanging out with the pretty boy brother; now he can take a break, have a drink of water

At this moment, Zhou Dong is like a magician, as the selected potatoes in his hands resemble oranges in the hands of a magician. With a flick of his fingers, they gently slide into the water. Sister Guan observes very closely; the young handsome man must be using some special technique that allows these potatoes to neither collide with each other in the basin nor lose their self-rotation for a period of time after entering the water

The fat man is a clever person; competing with such a talented individual is far less advantageous than seeking their support. This is known as turning enemies into friends and transforming crises into opportunities, which is the wisest choice.

There is no need for that, you just need to change the water, be quicker in your actions, and try to keep up with my pace

Well, many people praise me like this

What did you say, Xiao Zhou

Sister Guan grabbed the potato with one hand, and without needing a knife, she applied force with both hands and broke it open along the black spot. Indeed, a large portion was spoiled along that black spot, and she immediately exclaimed, "Xiao Zhou, you are truly impressive; this level of discernment is something even Sister Guan lacks."

Sister Guan was so captivated that her eyes widened; having spent so many years in the kitchen, she had certainly heard of this method of washing vegetables.

Sister Guan was holding the freshly washed potatoes, constantly praising, "This young man's skills are remarkable. Just look at these potatoes, they are washed so cleanly without a single scratch. Those fellows on the cutting board are in for a treat!"

Moreover, the rewards appear quite enticing, as it includes a chance to win a mid-level treasure chest. However, this task seems somewhat challenging, as it requires three hundred compliments from the opposite sex

He wasn't being arrogant; he just wasn't used to such embraces from someone of the same sex. However, the goodwill from the chubby person eventually made him nod in agreement: "Well, as long as you are happy"

The fat man took a glance and then fell silent. It's over. This pretty boy not only looks good but also possesses strength. Can I, Lao Pan, still see the dawn of hope?

As he was embraced by the overweight person, a wave of sweat odor hit him, causing Zhou Dong to frown repeatedly

Sister Guan looked at Zhou Dong with some suspicion, wondering if the young handsome guy was confused from exhaustion. It was the first time she had encountered someone who actively wanted to increase their workload, as there were plenty of lazy and slippery characters on the water platform, which made her feel quite uncomfortable

Xiao Zhou, what is the matter with you

Dozens of pounds of potatoes were quickly washed by Zhou Dong, and his master-level vegetable washing skill in the system increased to 67 out of 3000, with a long way to go before upgrading. Zhou Dong thought for a moment and, feeling quite embarrassed, said to Sister Guan: "Sister Guan, I have finished washing."

The kitchen lacks nothing, but what it lacks the most is women. Sister Guan is merely an exception; it seems that completing this task may be somewhat difficult

Handsome

Sister Guan was enthusiastically watching him peel potatoes, pondering whether to describe his fluid technique as 'elegant' or 'graceful.' Suddenly, she noticed Zhou Dong had stopped, and a sense of worry and concern arose in her heart. She hoped he wasn't exhausted from the task.

Looking at what you said, Brother Zhou, isn't it just changing the water? If I still can't keep up with you, I would really become a pig... Oh my, it can't really be that fast! Are you performing magic or washing vegetables...

Ah, Pan Ke, you worthless person, why did you choose to learn something as trivial as washing vegetables? Do you have any respect for the school? However, I really want to learn, what should I do?

Zhou Dong swiftly extended both hands, using a dazzling speed to take the potatoes one by one from the basin of water and place them into the clean basin that had been prepared nearby, while simultaneously issuing instructions to Pan Ke
