Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 230
"I plan to go out with Xiaoxiao next weekend. We will leave on Friday. Can you spare the time?"

In the cafeteria, Han Zhou looked for a seat while carrying a dinner plate, while looking at the short-haired girl next to him.

"I seem to have classes on Friday afternoon." Gu Zheng thought for a while, "Do you want to visit the place that Xiaoxiao mentioned on the phone last time?"

She remembered Han Zhou mentioning this matter.

"Well, I want to find out as soon as possible."

"Then I'll ask for leave to accompany you."

"Asking for leave means you are one day behind in class, and you may not get first place by then." Han Zhou joked.

Gu Zheng rolled her eyes at him: "If I don't get first place in the class if I'm one day behind, then I don't have to study."

"makes sense."

The two chatted while walking. The rate of turning around in the cafeteria was quite high, not only because of their good looks, but also because there was a mountain of rice on Gu Zheng's dinner plate. The amount of rice was intimidating to boys, let alone such a person. Cute girl.

There were many people eating in the cafeteria at noon, and the two of them finally found two empty seats and sat down. Han Zhou stared at Gu Zheng's bulging cheeks for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "Have you gained weight recently? "

"No!" Gu Zheng glanced at him angrily, "I have always maintained a standard food intake, how could I gain weight?"

She lowered her eyes and glanced at her unsatisfactory chest. She wished she could gain weight.

The girl sitting next to her was stunned for two seconds after hearing this. She lowered her head and looked at the amount of rice on her dinner plate, which was too little for a cat. She then looked at the mountain of rice on Gu Zheng's dinner plate. She didn't know for a moment that it was because of her own understanding of the "standard amount of rice." Is this word misunderstood or is this girl misunderstood.

Thinking of her weight, which was over [-] during the vacation, and looking at the slender figure of the girl next to her, she couldn't help but feel sad. She chewed the green vegetables sadly, thinking that people's physiques cannot be generalized.

"It's true that I'm not fat. Maybe I saw it wrong."

Seeing that Gu Zheng seemed a little unhappy, Han Zhou smiled and said, "But you are recovering well. I thought you would be unable to eat for several days after you fell ill."

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just a little cold, not a serious illness."

"So how did you catch a cold with your physique?" Han Zhou looked curious.

Gu Zheng's hand moved for a moment, and his expression suddenly became unnatural, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"I didn't cover it properly in the middle of the night..."

She dodges her eyes, finds an excuse to deal with it, and pretends to be impatient and says, "Just eat, why do you have so many problems?"

As he spoke, he buried his head in the dinner plate.

Han Zhou shook his head and smiled. Everyone could tell that this guy wasn't telling the truth, but since Gu Zheng didn't want to answer, he didn't ask any more questions.

He originally thought that Gu Zheng would find an opportunity to ask him about Noila Mo, but he didn't know that he still hadn't asked anything until now. Sister Gu Shu Miao's side was also calm, and she didn't know what she was planning.

"You eat slowly."

After giving a reminder, he lowered his head and started eating.

The girl sitting next to Gu Zheng was losing weight. The small amount of food on the plate was quickly finished. However, she had no intention of getting up and leaving. Instead, she pretended to pick up the last piece of green vegetables and used the corner of her eyes to He looked at the guzheng out of the corner of his eye.

She wanted to see if this girl could really finish that much rice.

Not just her, many people nearby turned their attention to the direction of Gu Zheng and Han Zhou, peeking at their faces and paying attention to Gu Zheng's eating situation.

Gu Zheng buried her head in her meal and didn't notice anything.

It wasn't until she finished eating and took the tissue from Han Zhou and stood up that she noticed that the atmosphere around her was a little strange. She wiped her mouth and asked, "What's wrong with these people?"

Looking around, I saw that everyone around was completely silent, almost all of them had extremely shocked expressions. Some of them had even forgotten to eat. The chopsticks holding the vegetables were hanging by their mouths, but they just refused to move forward an inch.

"Maybe it's because I haven't eaten enough."

Han Zhou had already noticed everyone's strangeness, and he was not surprised by it. He ignored the stunned people, put away his dinner plate and left the cafeteria with Gu Zheng.

Walking out of the cafeteria, the midday sun shone through the clouds and fell on the two of them, bringing a slight warmth.

As if he suddenly remembered something, Han Zhou said: "By the way, Gu Zheng, I just need the help of someone with a physique like you who is not prone to obesity. You'd better prepare in advance."

"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng looked confused.

Han Zhou said seriously: "I plan to set up a roadside stall to sell snacks. If I can't sell them, I will have to eat them for me."

"Street vendors?"

"Yes, I did some research and found that the profit of this thing is quite high, but it may not go smoothly at the beginning, so I need you to help me solve my worries."

"What worries...don't treat me like a trash can, okay?" Gu Zheng curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him angrily, "What do you want to sell? Can I help?"

She knew Han Zhou's family situation well. He had to earn tuition and living expenses by himself. Roadside stalls should be the way he currently thinks of making money.

She also heard that setting up a roadside stall is quite profitable. At least it is a good income for students. The technical requirements are not high and the threshold is low, but it is a bit hard.

However, there are now snack roadside stalls everywhere, and the market must be saturated. It seems that urban management officials often come out to chase them. It may not be easy to profit from them.Although she had doubts, Gu Zheng did not attack Han Zhou. She believed that Han Zhou could think of what she could think of, and she only needed to fully support him now.

It's like he's always had his back.

"No need, just go about your business, I'm enough by myself."

Han Zhou smiled and said, "But now you have to help me get the express together."

……

Back in the dormitory, Chen Long's surprised voice reached Han Zhou's ears as expected. This guy seemed to always have one eye outside the door.

"Han Zhou, why did you come back with so many couriers at once? Are you planning to catch courier thieves this time?"

Several roommates knew about the last "Plan to Eliminate Takeaway Thieves" and spent several days barbecuing for nothing. Seeing Han Zhou come back with so much express delivery, Chen Zheng and Huo Zhencheng also looked a little surprised. One after another came to help.

"The top box is for the laptop, and the bottom box is for the keyboard. Put these two items gently on the table for me, and just put the rest wherever you like. Thank you."

With the help of his roommate, Han Zhou quickly completed the "unloading", then opened the express delivery and began to inspect it.

These things are not really heavy, but there are a lot of them, making them inconvenient to carry.

Chen Zheng pushed up his glasses and wondered, "Did you buy the goods from outside?"

"That's right." Han Zhou nodded. There was no need to hide this kind of thing from his roommates, "I plan to open a roadside stall outside the school."

"Street vendors?"

Chen Zheng thought he was joking, but when he saw a box of starch intestines, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Are you going to sell this?"

"That's right." Han Zhou smiled, "Fried starch sausage."

After these few days of research, he already had a very specific understanding of "culinary proficiency".

First of all, according to his statistics, if the ingredients are not prepared carefully, the probability of making fine food while focusing is about 20.00%, which may be slightly lower, at least lower than the 30.00% probability in the skill description. Five percentage points.

He had speculated about this before, and it was most likely because the properties of food in reality could not meet the regular requirements of the status bar. This was not surprising, after all, it is difficult to find green and healthy ingredients now.

Secondly, compared to high-quality gourmet food, the probability of making the best gourmet food is quite low, probably below 5.00%. If the negative impact of the quality of the ingredients is added, the probability will be even lower. At least he has not succeeded so far. Create a delicious meal.

However, given that this thing is addictive, he may not want to eat it even if it is made, so his expectations are not high.

Finally, and most importantly, after repeatedly studying the sentence "Any food produced by your hands has certain delicious attributes" in the skill description, he finally came to a conclusion——

He is able to mass-produce a large amount of food with delicious properties in a short period of time.

The so-called "passing through your hands" does not mean that it needs to go through a complete cooking process, but literally means that it only needs to be handled by your hands.

In other words, any food touched by Han Zhou will receive a 20.00% increase in deliciousness after being processed into food, instead of needing to complete a complete cooking process.

Of course, this is not without restrictions. The restrictions are also mentioned above, that is, they need to be "processed".

In Han Zhou's many tests, the ingredients need to go through at least one of the heating processes of frying, boiling, stir-frying, and deep-frying, or they need to go through a more complicated pre-processing, so that the ingredients can have delicious attributes. Simply touching it does not count as processing, nor does it meet the conditions for "passing through your hands".

This is the basis for Han Zhou to set up a roadside stall.

As for why he chose to sell fried starch sausage, he had carefully considered it.

This thing has almost no requirements on the production technique. Just throw it into the hot oil and it is done. This is enough to meet the trigger condition of "Cooking Proficiency", so that the starch sausage can easily gain the delicious attribute bonus.

Not only that, compared to other roadside snacks, starch sausages require almost no pre-processing. You can throw several starch sausages into a pot of oil at the same time, and when you pick them up in one go, they are all processed. The entire production process is almost complete. It can be said that it does not require any time or energy, it is just a matter of skill.

As for the concept of 20.00% deliciousness, Han Zhou has experienced it personally. There is absolutely no lack of competitiveness. At the same price, consumers will undoubtedly choose merchants with better taste, so sales are not a problem, as long as With the first customer, subsequent customers will definitely come in a steady stream.

Moreover, he didn't have much money and didn't have enough cost to complete a bigger idea, so he could only consider this low-cost way of making money first.

As for the profit... he bought his starch sausage from wholesale channels. The cost of one piece is about [-] cents. If he sells it for [-] yuan a piece, the profit is [-] yuan. It is definitely a profitable business. .

Of course, it is definitely unrealistic to make a fortune by selling starch sausages. This is only the first step in Han Zhou's plan to make money, and he currently values ​​other things more than making money.

He has a "paradigmatic" skill from Mo Yixia, which can greatly improve his ability to learn practical skills that he is interested in. Simply put, it comes with a certain learning experience bonus.

Cooking skills fall into the category of practical skills, and the process of repeatedly frying starch sausage is a process of practicing cooking skills, which can continuously accumulate learning experience for him, thereby gaining the opportunity to upgrade "Culinary Mastery" to a higher level skill.

"Cooking Proficiency" is upgraded from "Cooking Proficiency", which means that the possibility of upgrading skills through your own efforts exists, rather than relying solely on the status bar.

In addition, using "Culinary Mastery" repeatedly in a short period of time can also test the limits of the status bar to see if there will be insufficient "blue bars" leading to skill failure.

If you want to make money by relying on status, you must understand these things.

All in all, selling fried starch sausage is more of an attempt. You have to try many things yourself before you can take the next step better.

That is to say, it is not sure whether the processing of sashimi and sashimi can meet the triggering conditions of "cooking proficiency", and he cannot afford to open a high-end restaurant for the time being, otherwise Han Zhou will try to take the high-end route...
