Food: My food truck can be upgraded indefinitely.

"It's finally over!"

Lingyun let out a long breath, squeezing all the fatigue from the night out of his lungs.

"Brother Tiger, could you please take Jasmine with you? It's too late, I can pack up by myself."

After confirming several times that Ling Yun really didn't need help, Tiger reminded him again not to forget to read the instructions, and then turned and left with Zhang Moli.

Their figures were quickly swallowed up by the night.

Ling Yun stretched vigorously, his spine making a slight clicking sound.

He stepped out of the food cart, bent down, and began to clean up the dirty tableware scattered on the table and floor.

Iron plates, knives and forks, wooden plates—one by one, they were picked up and put into the basket.

That's what makes being a street vendor tiring.

Other shops have specialized divisions of labor, but street vendors don't. From buying vegetables to preparing ingredients to finally clearing away the plates, everything is handled by the stall owner alone.

It seems to have stopped.

In reality, the preparations for closing up and opening the stall are even more tiring than the actual opening itself.

Lingyun told Tiger and Zhang Moli to leave.

My main goal was to create a quiet environment for myself to explore the new features after the system was activated, and also to review today's revenue.

He had already tried it.

You can view your cooking stats again, which means you can continue to improve your cooking skills through training.

This is his core base.

With this ability, he can continuously improve his culinary skills.

This self-taught chef with no formal education, no academic background, and no connections can continue to improve through practical cooking experience.

This point may seem weak, but it is actually the foundation of everything.

The fact that it only goes up and never down, and that it automatically gains the corresponding knowledge after leveling up, is already terrifyingly powerful.

This is the source of Lingyun's confidence in facing any chef.

Lingyun pulled over a basket of dirty iron plates, about to start washing them, and began to think about the functions of the food cart system in order to determine the next strategy.

suddenly.

A system notification sounded in my mind:

"The host doesn't need to bother with such trivial matters. Just put it in the food cart, and the payment will be automatically deducted to complete this task."

Explore other features!

Upon hearing this...

Ling Yun did not stop.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.

Cleaning is a time for his mind to relax. He can wait until he finishes thinking before cleaning, which will save him some money.

The important thing is the information the system just prompted.

It doesn't want to focus on trivial matters, but rather concentrates on improving its culinary skills. However, this doesn't come without a price; the services it provides are chargeable, but it saves time and effort in finding staff.

In summary...

The system requires that you be an expert in cooking and also have a strong ability to make money.

Ling Yun silently asked the system in his mind:

"System, what is the next upgrade task for the food truck?"

[Food Cart Upgrade LV2 Quest: Sell three divine-level dishes simultaneously.]

Ok.

Ling Yun nodded slightly.

The LV1 food cart function is a flash of inspiration, allowing you to develop more new dishes, which seems to complement the LV2 mission perfectly.

It seems the system is also guiding itself to become stronger.

Finally, there's the innate talent, Flame Perception.

Because he has been grilling steaks for many years, Ling Yun's control over the flame has always been his greatest strength. He can roughly feel the temperature of the flame through the skin of his hands, thus controlling the doneness of the steak.

This time, unsurprisingly, it turned out to be a talent.

I just don't know what standard it can meet.

Ling Yun put down the dirty iron plate in her hand, picked it up along with the basket and carried it into the food cart, then tried to put one into the cabinet where she usually stored the iron plates.

Start from the section that leads into the cabinet.

The dirty, greasy iron plate looked as if it had been refreshed, with all the grease completely gone.

even.

Once the first iron plate was placed inside, all the dirty iron plates within a meter of Ling Yun were automatically sucked into the cabinet and neatly stacked together.

System: "Pay cleaning fee of 50 yuan!"

Ling Lingyun roughly estimated the quantity and knew that the system charged based on the amount of work done per hour.

50 yuan/hour.

He can still accept this price.

And now... the exciting moment has arrived.

Lingyun closed the cabinet door, straightened up, and reached out to turn on the gas stove.

The flames were through the iron plate...

It began to materialize before his eyes.

The heat from the flames transformed the iron plate into colorful circles, like topographical maps, layer upon layer, each circle marked with a different temperature.

It does not rely on perception.

You don't need to subject your skin to heat.

As soon as he lowered his head, the heat of the flames was immediately apparent in front of him.

Ling Yun slowly waved his hand over the iron plate.

While feeling the temperature in my palm.

The temperatures that were originally just flat figures suddenly began to fluctuate.

Originally the same temperature.

However, the area covered is also different.

"This is fantastic!"

Ling Yun couldn't help but blurt it out, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Before that.

Even if it has a system interface.

However, this ability, which is clearly a supernatural power, is appearing for the first time.

The key is that it's so practical.

The steak is about the size of a palm, but the area of ​​a single heat source is limited. Even if you preheat the iron plate first, you can still cook it in an area with a similar temperature.

The doneness of a whole steak can vary greatly.

That's good now.

Once he gets used to using the flame, he'll be able to cook a whole steak to his desired crispy exterior and tender interior in no time.

This is the end.

Frying... has become an art.

Not just steak, but any dish that needs to be pan-fried can be prepared with ease.

This isn't just about this particular dish, but about a whole category of dishes.

This talent... is indeed very strong.

Lingyun couldn't help but start daydreaming.

Once the food cart is upgraded to level four or five, you will possess four or five types of culinary talents.

I can become a god of cooking.

Take a look at Erina Nakiri.

In Food Wars!, she gained a supreme position in the tasting world solely through her divine tongue, a single sentence of which could affect the life or death of a restaurant.

With this skill, her culinary skills were able to improve rapidly.

He became one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy at the age of 15.

He could acquire countless talents like this in the future. Although some might not be as good as the God Tongue, it is entirely possible to expect that he will have talents equal to or even surpassing the God Tongue.

Ling Yun let out a long breath of excitement, then raised his hand and patted his slightly flushed cheeks twice to calm himself down a little.

After turning off the heat.

He stroked his chin, pondering how to complete the next task.

First, we definitely need to make use of Zhang Moli's braising sauce. As for the other amazing dish...

Ling Yun lowered his head, his gaze falling on the control panel in front of him.

The inspiration for the food truck has been activated, and I can start working on it from there.

and also.

Today, Zhang Moli and He Yu were both affected because of me.

That matter...

I still need to talk to them about it tomorrow.

At last.

Lingyun opened her phone and began to calculate her earnings for the day, one by one.

Brother Li's ten shares are worth 27,000.

He Yu, Boss Zhou, and Uncle Chen each received a total of three portions.

Each serving of Chef's Steak yields a profit of over 1500 yuan, so thirteen servings would amount to 19500 yuan.

Five hundred and seventy-nine regular steaks were sold.

Based on a profit of 13 yuan per serving, the approximate profit is 7527 yuan.

To summarize.

He earned 27027 yuan in just one night.

Even after deducting rent and the wages of Li He and Zhang Moli.

I earned at least 25,000 yuan.

Twenty-five thousand!

Lingyun worked 365 days a year without a break, cooking steaks for up to six hours a day, and was also responsible for purchasing, preparing ingredients, cleaning and other tasks.

Wen Chong only paid him 120,000 yuan a year.

That is less than 329 yuan per day.

Now that he's working independently, he earns in one day what used to be almost 76 days' worth of income—a difference of 76 times.

That's two and a half months!

Five days can feel like more than a year!

The difference between roads is just that great!

fortunately……

By the way, Lingyun fumbled for his phone, found Tiger's WeChat profile picture, and clicked on it.

He was curious.

What explanations did Brother Li and Brother Hu give themselves?
