I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 197 Ten Years Is Too Short

This girl's appearance is only delicate, not outstanding, but she has the elegant temperament of a lady from a noble family, which makes people feel comfortable.

The person who came was the Wu Niang mentioned by Liu Basao, whose surname was Song.

She clasped her hands nervously together and asked expectantly: "Sir, I have made safe and edible monster meat using the nine-steaming and nine-brewing method. But the cooking notes have not recorded the follow-up, I wonder if there are any taboos in cooking?"

Gu Ke frowned: "You won't use humans to try it, right?"

Song Wu Niang shook her head repeatedly: "How can this be, I always use pigs. Sister Xiang Miao said that it is more similar to humans, so this should work, right?"

At this point, she looked expectantly.

Gu Ke nodded, but asked more questions: "How many pigs did you use? Did you separate the male and female, physique, and age for testing? How often did you feed them? How many? How long did it last?"

Song Wu Niang opened her mouth wide, and was stunned for a few breaths before answering: "No, I used two adult pigs, about 100 pounds, and fed them a pound of processed monster meat every day. It has been about five days."

Gu Ke shook his head: "I just wrote it down in my notes, but I didn't expect you to start the experiment so soon."

After a moment of silence, he continued: "Monster meat cannot be regarded as a simple food ingredient. If it is not handled properly, it may cause death. You should treat it as a highly toxic medicinal material."

"In drug experiments, don't be impatient. You should wait for the time being. Put aside the idea of ​​cooking with it. According to what I just said, test at least three batches for one to five years. "

"All experiments must leave detailed observation and test documents. If there is a problem, it can be traced and analyzed to facilitate improvement."

"And..." At this point, seeing the girl's face completely fall, full of depression, he couldn't help but smile: "Forget it, your talent is to be a cook, not to study medicine. I will leave this to others. When there are results, you can use it to cook. "

Song Wu Niang nodded quickly, but she was a little embarrassed: "Sir, I am grateful for your teachings. I have become a little famous in Bihai City for cooking, but I can't ask those famous doctors for help."

Gu Ke knew this was the truth.

Famous doctors in ancient times were not cabbages. They were not available whenever they wanted.

The residents of Bihai City would definitely have opinions on taking up their time to see a doctor and save people in order to study whether monster meat is edible.

After all, top cooking skills can greatly increase the quality of life, but they are not necessary.

Most people still cook for themselves, and at best they eat at roadside stalls, and the taste is not bad.

But Song Wuniang was a little special.

Two years ago, when she first arrived in Bihai City, she ate noodles in this small restaurant, but she was noticed by Gu Ke because of her sense of heaven and earth, and he insisted on asking her to treat her to a meal.

Afterwards, Song Wuniang had no money to pay the bill, so she could only ask the waitress Liu Basao to work to pay off the debt.

Liu Basao was a gossipy person, but she had good character. In the end, after discussing with her husband, she took Song Wuniang in.

It was not all for the meal money, but seeing that Song Wuniang was penniless and had no relatives and friends to rely on, she kept her as a kitchen helper to give her a meal.

Who knew that Song Wuniang had some cooking skills, and her talent was even more extraordinary.

After getting the cooking skill book from Gu Ke to pay for the meal, her cooking skills improved at an astonishing rate.

The dishes and skills from Gu Ke's skill book emerged in an endless stream. In less than three months, she relied on her strength to "drive" Liu Basao's husband Liu Laoba out of the position of chef.

Song Wuniang met Gu Ke who gave her a book in this small restaurant, and she was grateful for Liu Basao's kindness in taking her in. After her cooking skills improved greatly, she never thought of leaving.

Liu Basao and his wife were very happy. After all, since Song Wuniang became a chef, the income of the restaurant has increased several times.

Both of them were straightforward and frank. After discussing, they simply pulled Song Wuniang into the business and split the restaurant's income 50-50.

Song Wuniang was in the period of rapid growth of her cooking skills. She was not very interested in making money, and did not want to participate in other things in the restaurant, so she said that she would only take 10%.

The two sides argued several times about this, and Song Wuniang "threatened" that she would rather continue to work if she was given too much.

Liu Basao and his wife had no choice but to give in and let her take 30% of the profits. The small restaurant then had an additional partner and chef.

After that, Liu Laoba couldn't stay idle, and Song Wuniang preferred to cook without anything, so they simply expanded it once.

Next to Liu's restaurant, there was a smaller "Yuxianju" doing mid-to-high-end business.

Song Wuniang is the chef of Yuxianju, and Liu Basao stays to be a waiter and lobby manager.

Liu Laoba returns to Liu's restaurant as the chef, and finds two refugees who have just arrived in Bihai City to be waiters, still doing business with ordinary customers.

For Gu Ke, the dishes of Liu's restaurant and Song Wuniang are just a whim, and he may not go there again after that day.

But Xiaoman and her friends go shopping in Bihai City when they have nothing to do.

When Yuxianju is said by many people to be the best restaurant in Bihai City, they are bound to go there to find out.

After discovering that the "famous chef" of Yuxianju is actually Song Wuniang, Xiaoman is even more excited.

The little girl is decades old, and she has never seen a woman who can compete with her in cooking skills.

It's not easy to meet an "acquaintance", so she won't let it go. She comes to taste the special dishes when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't pay.

Song Wuniang doesn't care about the meal money. It's rare to have people with the same hobbies, and it's even rarer for women to have the same hobbies.

Besides, Xiaoman's cooking skills were not inferior to hers, and they must have been taught by Gu Ke, so Wu Niang was eager to learn from them.

The two exchanged cooking skills and talked about everything, and they became familiar with each other in a few times.

Song Wu Niang felt that the time was right, so she asked about Gu Ke.

However, Xiaoman showed rare caution and evaded the question on the spot, and only talked about it with Gu Ke when she came back.

Gu Ke was in high spirits at the time, so he played the trick of giving back the book. He would never "go as soon as he was called", and just let Xiaoman and the others say that they didn't know and continue to eat and drink.

Anyway, that cooking book was enough to pay for Xiaoman's meals for a lifetime.

Until later, Xiaoman and Song Wuniang accidentally talked about the topic of "the monster is very big, and the meat looks good, how can we eat it".

Song Wuniang quickly found the relevant records in the cooking book, sneaked in and concentrated, and after a period of time, she made progress and told Xiaoman.

Xiaoman told Gu Ke, which made him interested in Song Wuniang again.

You know, the inscription of heaven and earth is not a common product.

Gu Ke has seen millions of great warriors, among which there are only dozens of inscriptions, and Song Wuniang gives him a different feeling from others.

Now it seems that it is because she is the only "cook" among them?

Cooks are not farmers, craftsmen, or warriors, and they have no particularly strong role in logistics or combat.

In fact, when the people of the whole society began to pursue famous chefs, it was largely because of the great abundance of materials.

In other words, when most people were hungry, famous chefs could only be "decorations" for a few powerful people.

Ordinary people would rather exchange fine grains for coarse grains, and it was better to eat bad food than to starve to death.

Today, Dawu is facing wars on both the north and the south, and exotic grains have not been popularized to every household.

Most of the newly recruited people in Bihai City are between "barely enough to eat and clothe" and "starving".

The status of famous chefs here is inevitably a bit mediocre.

Song Wuniang, the cook, let alone ordinary people, even Gu Ke didn't pay much attention to her at first.

Just seeing that she had the strength of the second round and fourth turn in her early twenties, it was speculated that she might "abandon cooking and join martial arts" and have a "Dawu dream" of "from cook to female martial arts master".

Who knew that Song Wuniang was actually very talented in the profession of cook, and soon made new tricks and reached new heights.

Gu Ke had thought about "harmless treatment of monster meat" many times before, and he actually got some clues in the hands of this little cook.

Even if the results need to be further confirmed, she may have touched the right beginning - this is the most difficult step in most research.

The reason why Gu Ke didn't do this experiment himself is very simple. First, the cave naturally suppresses the power of monsters, and external variables interfere too much with the test results.

Second, he is not interested in drug experiments yet, and harmless treatment of monster meat is not an urgently needed technology, so he is not in a hurry to do it.

Gu Ke is happy to be a porter and promoter for the people of Dawu, but he doesn't want to be a workhorse.

It's great that Song Wu Niang, a "local", is capable of doing research.

After a moment's silence, he instructed Saranzhu: "Ask Bihai City to get a group of doctors and apprentices with some experience, and then equip the necessary equipment and venues."

Then he turned to Song Wuniang and said: "You mainly provide experimental ideas, and leave the daily testing and verification work to them, which will not take up too much of your time."

"Before getting clear results, don't let people eat the monster meat and pig meat used in the experiment. If you stimulate the formation of monsters, your reputation in Bihai City will be ruined in the future."

Song Wuniang nodded repeatedly in response.

Gu Ke pondered for a moment, then reached into his sleeves, using them to cover up as he took out three bottles of pills and placed them in front of her: "These three medicines can strengthen your blood and mind. Take one pill of each every five days, and ordinary evil spirits will no longer be able to erode you."

"Don't show these medicines to others, so as not to be coveted by others."

Gu Ke waved his sleeves and stood up: "Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you."

Song Wu Niang was stunned: "This..."

...

After leaving Yuxianju, Xiaoman couldn't help asking: "Old Gu, just three bottles of medicine, isn't it too little?"

Gu Ke shook his head: "Too much is as bad as too little..."

Seeing Xiaoman staring at him blankly, he smiled and said more bluntly: "With this identity, it's enough for her. You can change to another identity in the future, and it's easier to give her one."

Xiaoman suddenly realized: I understand! Shennong took Song Wu Niang with him when he blessed.

Of course, they never talked about the fairy mountain in the outside world, and everyone knew it.

In fact, Gu Ke has already reserved three martial arts and skills for Song Wu Niang: agronomy, craftsmanship, and Tianluo Hand.

As a cook with a sense of heaven and earth, this girl is worth his "small investment".

Walking on the brightly lit streets of Bihai City, Gu Ke looked up to the north: "This peaceful life will not last long."

As he sighed, Mei Shu was packing his luggage in Shennong Valley of Taiping Village, saying what he had repeated many times in the past few days: "Miss, take me with you, otherwise no one will serve you..."

Miss Qin waved helplessly: "It's safest for me to let you stay. If I really want to leave, I will run slower if I take you with me."

Mei Shu's face drooped: Miss, what you said makes sense, but why does it make me feel so uncomfortable?

Miss Qin saw her expression and coughed lightly: "I'm just a little bored and want to go out to relax."

Mei Shu smiled bitterly: "You don't have to go to Yongheng Bingfeng to relax."

Miss Qin shook her head: "Besides me, who else can go there in Dawu?"

With a sigh, she said quietly: "Although Dawu is not from Lieyang Sect, the founder of Lieyang Sect also worked hard to establish Dawu. I can't sit and watch Dawu be destroyed. I should do something."

After a pause, she shook her head again: "Who made the Dawu royal family have no one who can hold up the head?"

Miss, you are a martial saint now! Unless the martial ancestor Zhao Guangtian opens the coffin and rebuilds Dawu, who can compare with you. Although Mei Shu was worried, he couldn't help but complain in his heart when he heard it.

A few years ago, Mei Shu would not have dared to complain about Martial Ancestor in such a "disrespectful" way.

However, the behavior of Zhao Guangtian, the ancestor of Wu, and Zhao Heng, the late emperor, made the four girls Meilan, Zhuju and Meilan no longer have any respect for the royal family.

After Miss Qin sighed, she still warned: "Don't relax, help Taiping Village expand its scale as soon as possible, and besides..."

She was silent for a moment before continuing: "We can't let go of building villages along the way to Yulong Valley. Maybe Taiping Village will use this back road one day."

Mei Shu frowned: "Will the situation really get that bad?"

There is a group of martial masters like them in Taiping Village, and they are still in the southwest of Dawu.

If it really comes to the point of moving to the Western Wasteland Plateau, the Northern Desert Kingdom will definitely be gone by then, and the entire north of Dawu Zhongting will definitely be unsafe.

Miss Qin nodded solemnly: "Maybe I'm overly worried, but I have a vague hunch."

"Beimo has been resisting for more than two years. The defense line has been compressed to the border of the atrium. It has actually been lost."

"The leader of the Northern Desert, Su Yulou, has a tough and tenacious character and is willing to resist to the death. However, the national power of the Northern Desert is too weak."

"Although Zhongting is stronger, it does not have a generation of heroes like Su Yulou. Once he is killed in battle, Zhongting will lose faster and more miserably."

"I went to Eternal Ice Peak just to find the weakness of the monster group and delay it."

"Give Su Yulou some time, and those losers in the atrium will have to give him more power, so that Dawu can continue to resist."

Hearing this, Mei Shu couldn't help but said, "Well, isn't there still him?"

Miss Qin looked sideways: "Him?"

This "him" is of course Gu Ke.

Mei Shu's cheeks were slightly red, but he nodded firmly: "He should have something to do, right?"

Miss Qin was silent again.

The silence lasted longer this time, and he sighed quietly after a long time: "I think he may need more time."

Mei Shu was surprised: "Ah, this..."

Miss Qin reached out to her waist and gently stroked the dusty Qiankun bag: "Didn't you notice? The longer time goes by, the more good things he can come up with."

"Back then, he almost died of illness outside the door. It wasn't until I killed the weird thing and he got the weird crystal that everything gradually got better."

Mei Shu opened his mouth wide, remembering scenes from more than ten years ago.

The corners of Miss Qin's lips curled up slightly: "Although I don't know where his abilities come from, but every time, he becomes more unfathomable."

"So, what if you give him another ten years? What about twenty years?"

Mei Shu found that his eldest daughter's logic was clear, organized and persuasive.
