After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 291 The God of Cooking System

Lin Liuyi didn't have time to pay attention to Wenli because she had given her another reward.

"Get rich? What is this?" Lin Liu looked at the small black pebble on the table for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was.

"Host, this is silver!"

"Get rich? Are you kidding me? Silver can be black?" Lin Liuyi didn't believe it, but he had heard that silver could turn black. Could this really be silver?

Lin Liuyi, not believing in such things, scrubbed the toothpaste on it and, lo and behold, it really was money.

"How did this reader manage to make the silver this color?" Lin Liuyi was extremely curious.

However, when she found out, she wished she had never touched the silver.

Meanwhile, in another world, Chu Dashu was overjoyed to see the silver that had disappeared from his hand.

None of my family members understand. The current Chu Dashu, the former Chu Jiang, they all want to shed a tear when they talk about it.

After working himself to death from overwork, Chu Jiang woke up to find himself transformed into Chu Dashu, a waiter at a shop.

Before he could even rejoice at being alive again, he began the daily routine of an ancient version of a working-class life.

Serving dishes, clearing tables—Chu Dashu was always there wherever he was needed.

It's a good thing this body isn't from modern times, otherwise he could have performed a sliding knee slide on the spot.

After a long day of work, Chu Dashu finally managed to lie down on the wooden plank bed in the restaurant's backyard, but he couldn't fall asleep because of the snoring of the other people.

Before he could even feel sorry for his life, his golden finger appeared.

"The Chef God System is at your service!"

Hehe, he said that the cheat codes that time travelers must have are essential, how could he not have them!

Chu Dashu excitedly opened the God of Cooking System, thinking that he would make a name for himself in this ancient world with his skills and achieve the title of unparalleled God of Cooking. However, he failed at the very first step.

"System, this isn't fair. Why do I have to pay for radishes to practice my knife skills?"

In novels, aren't the resources of the God of Cookery system inexhaustible, and what about the renowned teachers who instruct him?

There's nothing there, he's just slicing it dry!

When will I ever become a master chef?!

"The God of Cookery System is at your service!" Unfortunately, this system did not answer Chu Dashu's questions at all.

"System, say something! Don't just provide service!"

"The Chef God System is at your service!"

No matter what Chu Dashu asked, the system would only reply with one sentence: "The God of Cooking System is at your service!"

Chu Dashu was stunned. Was this still a cheat system?

It's better to learn from a master chef than to rely on this system to become a culinary god.

Let's get right to it. We're in ancient times now; what future is there in being an ordinary shopkeeper?

This culinary system also reminded Chu Dashu that being a head chef is better than being a waiter.

As for other paths, taking the imperial examination? Chu Dashu thought about it. This body's family was poor, which is why he became a waiter in a shop, and even then, he had to rely on favors.

Moreover, this body only recognizes a few words, all of which are from menus. It is reasonable to suspect that Chu Dashu learned to recognize menus before he learned to read words.

Chu Jiang wasn't good at classical Chinese either. He thought back to his school days when he only got a bottom-tier undergraduate degree. He was lucky to be born in a good era and got a computer science degree, which allowed him to find a decent job after graduation.

Besides, he doesn't know how to build houses out of cement and glass to get rich, and that's a dead end for him.

There's also the essential thing for time travelers: selling the recipe. First, he doesn't remember the specific recipe, and second, he doesn't have the necessary seasonings. Even if he sells the recipe, the chef can't make it, and he might even have to return the money.

After much thought, the path to becoming a culinary master that the system had planned for him was not bad, but the practice was really killing him.

Chu Dashu decided to use his position as a waiter to see if he could make contact with the head chef.

So on this day, when there weren't many people around, he approached Chef Liu at the restaurant.

Alas, there wasn't even a cigarette in ancient times, so Chu Dashu had no choice but to bite the bullet and start a conversation.

"Uncle Liu!"

"What's up, kid?" Chef Liu had just finished his work and was still working hard when he picked up a ladle of water and drank it all in one gulp.

It must be said that Chu Dashu only came to find Chef Liu after he had looked through the original owner's memories; he didn't even dare to linger next to the other Chef Liu.

There's no other reason than that Chu Dashu followed Chef Liu's path to become a waiter.

Although the two are related as uncle and nephew through many twists and turns.

"Willow, I wanted to ask how much silver it costs to learn to cook?"

That's right, in this ridiculous ancient era, you had to pay to learn a trade.

At this moment, Chu Dashu especially missed the cooking videos he used to watch.

"You?" Chef Liu glanced at him, then patted him on the shoulder and went out to rest.

"Big tree, it's good to have ambition, but you have to know your limits! Survival is the most important thing!"

Chef Liu said these things because he knew that Chu Dashu's family was in debt because they sent him to work as a waiter, and if he were to learn to cook, their lives would probably be even more difficult.

Chu Dashu knew this, but that didn't stop him from asking. He even wanted to see if there would be someone with discerning eyes, like in novels, who would directly take him as a personal disciple.

Chu Dashu looked at his shoulder that had been slapped down, sighed, and shrugged. Sure enough, he wasn't a genius; even a chef at a small restaurant looked down on him.

Since learning from a master didn't work, Chu Dashu could only continue to come back and exploit the Chef God System.

After spending a few coins to buy a few large radishes, Chu Dashu began his radish-cutting career.

Fortunately, the Chef God System provides kitchen utensils; otherwise, with Chu Dashu's current wealth, he wouldn't even be able to afford a knife.

"I'll cut, I'll cut, I'll cut!" After cutting a radish, the Chef God System remained completely silent.

"I'll cut again!" The system remained silent.

"I'll cut it again!"

"Damn it, I'm not cutting anymore!" Chu Dashu cut five radishes in a row, but the Chef God System didn't react at all, and he was extremely disappointed.

"Tongzi, say something!"

The system remained silent, so Chu Dashu had no choice but to continue cutting. Even after all eight radishes he had bought that day had been cut, the system was still as quiet as a dog.

The next day, Chu Dashu continued to chop 8 radishes, and the system remained as quiet as a dog.

On the third day, Chu Dashu continued to cut eight more radishes, and the system finally showed some reaction!

"Experience 0.0001%!" He cut a total of 24 carrots in three days and gained one ten-thousandth of experience. At this moment, Chu Dashu calculated how many carrots he would have to cut to fill up his experience bar!

"System, thank you so much, your whole family!"

On the fourth day, Chu Dashu stopped cutting radishes. One reason was that he couldn't afford to spend any more money, as the radishes he bought in the previous days were all from his own savings. The other reason was that the upgrade required too many radishes, and at this rate, he might not be able to afford them in his lifetime.

This path to becoming a culinary master was cut short right at the beginning!

Maybe Chu Dashu is just here to be a waiter! *sobs*
