After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Lin Fan returned to Phoenix Golden Street.

Before even reaching the store entrance, I could see that familiar "long queue" from afar.

At first glance, a few of them looked familiar. They were clearly guests who had been here yesterday.

Clearly, the plum juice from yesterday had made these people crave it.

"The boss is here!"

"Quick, quick! Move in a bit!"

The crowd stirred when they saw the Wuling Hongguang appear.

Lin Fan parked his car and began carrying boxes of vinegar and lunchboxes into the store.

"Boss Lin, can you lend a hand?"

Seeing this, several regular customers who were ahead of them in line offered to help carry their things.

Thanks.

Lin Fan didn't make a fuss; having someone help him was indeed much faster.

Organize the supplies, wash your hands, change into your chef's uniform, and tie your apron.

Lin Fan walked to the door.

Looking at the hundreds of eager eyes outside, and the faces with sweat beading on their foreheads from the sun.

Lin Fan glanced at the time, then hung up the small blackboard that read "Limited Edition".

[Limited Quantity Today]

[Supreme Beef Brisket Noodles: Limited to 200 bowls per day]

[Golden Crab Roe Soup Dumplings: Limited to 100 baskets per day]

[Heartbreakingly Delicious Fried Rice: Limited to 100 servings per day]

[Qiankun Tea Eggs: Limited to 100 per day]

[Iced Jade Plum Juice: While supplies last!]

"Open for business."

……

On this day, Lin's shop was still the busiest shop on the whole street.

Although the limited supply meant many people missed out on staple foods, those few buckets of plum juice were like a timely rain in this hot summer, soothing the heat of countless people.

Noon.

As the last bowl of noodles and the last cup of plum juice were sold out, Lin Fan pulled down the roller shutter door on time.

"call……"

The shop quieted down.

Lin Fan sat in the chair, looking at the empty soup bucket, and rubbed his sore wrists.

Although he earned a lot, this kind of repetitive physical labor was indeed draining his energy.

"We have to hold on for two more days."

Lin Fan was silently calculating in his mind.

He stood up, went back into the kitchen storage room, and locked the door.

Close your eyes.

"Enter the farm."

……

Inside the farm space.

The sun was still shining brightly.

As soon as Lin Fan landed, his gaze fell on the vegetable patch.

After most of the day had passed outside, the greenery had become noticeably denser.

The Chinese cabbage has grown to ankle height, and its leaves are beginning to unfurl, revealing a jade-like texture.

The scallions also grew taller, and the white parts became thicker.

But it's clearly still a ways off from being fully mature.

"We'll have to wait a while longer."

Lin Fan was not disappointed.

That's how farming is; you can't rush it.

He picked up a hoe, loosened the soil in the field, and then irrigated it again.

Just as he was about to check the two plum saplings, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something unusual at the base of the tree.

The damp soil bulged slightly, as if something had pushed it open from below.

Lin Fan walked over and squatted down.

He carefully brushed away the layer of loose soil.

Beneath the brown soil, several grayish mushroom caps, resembling small umbrellas, unexpectedly emerged.

It's very inconspicuous; if you don't look closely, it's easy to mistake it for dirt.

But Lin Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wild Termitomyces albuminosus

[Description: A byproduct of the spiritual soil. Nourished naturally by the soil's spiritual energy, it boasts an exceptionally delicious flavor and is hailed as the "King of Mushrooms."]

Lin Fan carefully touched the delicate cap of the mushroom with his finger.

Although it's still very small, it's a termite mushroom!

Outside of the world, this is a rare delicacy, its umami flavor so potent that it puts any MSG to shame.

"nice one."

Lin Fan swallowed.

Although he doesn't have a recipe for this thing now, and can't use it to cook.

but……

What if you use it to make soup?

Throw it into that pot of century-old brine to use as the base for the broth...

To what level of umami flavor does that soup have?

Lin Fan stood up, looked at the few small mushrooms that hadn't grown yet, and a smile appeared on his lips.

……

The next day, at four in the morning.

Lin Fan's biological clock woke him up on time. He sat up before the alarm went off.

With a thought, that familiar feeling of weightlessness returned.

"Enter the farm."

The feeling of weightlessness was fleeting. When I opened my eyes again, the fresh air, carrying the scent of earth, rushed towards me.

Lin Fan immediately looked at the two acres of yellow land.

Although I had already mentally calculated based on the tenfold flow rate and the effects of the fertilizer, my breath still involuntarily stopped for a moment when I saw the scene before me.

绿。

The lush greenery was breathtaking, radiating a crystal-clear and ethereal beauty.

Yesterday, the seedlings were just sprouting and no bigger than a fingernail, but now they have completely covered the brownish-yellow soil.

Especially that half-acre of premium Chinese cabbage.

Each one is tightly clustered together, and the leaves are not the usual dark green, but a tender yellowish-green like jade, with clearly visible veins and crystal-clear dewdrops hanging on the surface, shimmering in the morning light.

Unlike the bulky, large cabbages outside, they are of moderate size, yet exude a heavy, solid feel.

"It's ripe."

Lin Fan stepped forward and reached out to grasp the root of a large cabbage.

Pull upwards with both hands.

"Click."

With a crisp snapping sound, the cabbage sprouted from the soil.

It felt heavy in his hand, with an excellent texture. Lin Fan couldn't resist and broke off a small piece of the vegetable leaf, putting it in his mouth to chew.

"Crunch."

crisp.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of clear, sweet juice exploded in my mouth. There was not a trace of the earthy taste or coarse fibrous texture often found in ordinary cabbage; instead, it felt like eating a crisp pear that had just been picked from a tree.

After swallowing, the sweet taste did not disappear, but turned into a faint aftertaste, moistening the parched throat.

"Is this the primary crop produced by the system's farm?"

Lin Fan looked at the cabbage in his hand, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

With this kind of quality, it would be a crime not to cook something truly extraordinary.

Just as Lin Fan was marveling at the incredible quality of the cabbage, the cold, mechanical voice in his mind suddenly rang out without warning:

【Ding! 】

[Host has successfully harvested a spirit-level ingredient—a top-grade jade cabbage!]

[Triggering a recipe specific to this ingredient!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe for the divine dish—"Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth"!]

[Dish Description: The soup is as clear as water, yet incredibly delicious. At first glance, the dish may seem bland, but upon tasting it, it is fresh, fragrant, and refreshing, neither oily nor greasy. It is a masterpiece of "returning to simplicity from complexity"!]

[System prompt: This dish requires the host's advanced clear broth technique to bring out 100% of the ingredients' essence.]

"Boiled water...cabbage?"

Lin Fan stared at the system panel for a full three seconds, then his eyes blazed with ecstatic joy.

Of course he knows this dish.

This is a legendary dish that can only be served at state banquets!

It is also a "divine skill" that countless chefs have spent their entire lives trying to replicate but have never been able to reach its peak.

It appears ordinary, but is actually extremely luxurious.

Using the simplest cabbage to support the most complex broth, the final result is a masterpiece of "lotus emerging from clear water".
