rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 4 Mission: Fulfill mother’s little wish

"Tsk~!"

“Lao Deng’s pork head meat is pretty good.”

Chen Guofu took a sip of the Sanbai produced at the grain station, and then commented on Deng's pork head meat.

"Lao Deng's mixing was okay, but his wife's mixing was not as good."

However, Wang Dongmei obviously has different views on taste.

Chen Li's uncle came to the house for dinner, and Wang Dongmei went to Lao Deng's braised vegetable stall to buy some braised vegetables.

Lao Deng was not around at the time, so it was Lao Deng's daughter-in-law who mixed it. As a result, too much salt was added. Wang Dongmei always remembered this.

"Stop watching TV, eat quickly, and then take a nap after eating."

Wang Dongmei gave Chen Xue a piece of pork head meat with chopsticks, without forgetting to urge her.

There is no dining room in the Chen family. The room where they eat is the room where Chen's father and mother live. The main reason why they eat here is because the TV is placed here.

The 21-inch Changhong color TV was a large item that Chen Guofu bought from the county town last year when Changhong was engaged in a price war. It is also the only large expense of the Chen family in recent years.

It was noon at this time, and there weren't actually many programs on the TV. There weren't many TV series to watch back in 1997.

But it doesn't really matter what is being broadcast. Even if the TV is showing an advertisement at the moment, Chen Xue is watching it with gusto.

Not to mention that what is being broadcast on TV at the moment is news about the return of Hong Kong Island that will take place on July 1st, which is quite interesting.

The return of Hong Kong Island is not only a major event at the national level.

Even for ordinary people like the Chen family, they are actually very concerned about it.

The only one who doesn't care much is probably Chen Li, a guy from later generations.

In fact, Chen Li didn't care.

It's just that he has experienced all this in his previous life. Although these memories gradually faded later, after his rebirth, when he faced all this again, he naturally seemed calmer.

And it’s still half a month before July 1st! This is not the time to get excited.

At this moment, Chen Li was eating the Deng family's pork head and cooking rice.

Note that Chen Li uses "planing" to eat because his rice is topped with tomato and egg drop soup cooked by his mother.

In fact, to be honest, Chen Li's mother's cooking skills are not very good.

The best thing about the Chen family’s cooking is actually Chen Li, who still “can’t” cook.

In his previous life, Chen Li did not go to college and later went out to work with fellow villagers from Erlong Town.

Unable to bear the constraints of certain factory conditions, Chen Li later worked as a busboy in a restaurant.

Because of his eloquence, Chen Li quickly changed from a handyman to an apprentice, and then learned almost the same crooked cooking skills from a crooked cook.

It was indeed a crooked cook, because the restaurant closed down a year later due to poor business.

On the other hand, since Chen Li learned how to cook, it was as if he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. From then on, he went further and further on the road of "home cook".

Yes, home cook.

Because although Chen Li cooks good food, there is naturally a big gap between him and a truly professional chef.

But if you really want to go into this business, it shouldn't be a problem for Chen Li to open a small fly restaurant.

It's just that Chen Li's cooking is really just a hobby, and he doesn't want to turn his hobby into a job.

Aside from Chen Li, who is a chef-level expert in cooking, the second-ranked person in the Chen family's cooking skills is Chen Guofu, who rarely cooks.

It's strange to say that Chen Guofu would only show off his skills during festivals or when guests come to his home, but his cooking skills ranked first in the Chen family all year round. It wasn't until Chen Li learned how to cook that he gave up the top spot.

s position.

Especially Chen Guofu's spicy chicken and pickled fish, which even Chen Li, who later activated his cooking skills, could not compare to.

And further down, it is finally the turn of the hostess of the Chen family who cooks every day.

The reason is that Wang Dongmei didn't know how to cook before marrying Chen Guofu.

It’s hard to imagine, right? Among Wang Dongmei’s generation, and in a small place like Erlong Town, Wang Dongmei had never cooked before she got married.

But this is the fact, because Wang Dongmei has two sisters. As the youngest sister in the family, Wang Dongmei was favored by the Wang family before she got married, second only to the only child of the Wang family, Chen Li's uncle.

Even after marrying Chen Guofu, Chen Guofu tried his best to do things by himself and did not let Wang Dongmei cook.

After all, my daughter-in-law needs to be hurt when she deserves it!

That is to say, later on, with Chen Li and Chen Xue, Wang Dongmei gradually learned to cook.

But in terms of cooking skills alone, Wang Dongmei's skills can only be considered average, only one level higher than Chen Xue who can't cook at all.

In fact, it’s not like Chen Xue doesn’t know how to cook at all. At least she can make tomato scrambled eggs pretty well.

But when it comes to cooking, Chen Xue really doesn't have that talent. Let her cook, as long as she doesn't order the kitchen, that's fine.

Therefore, in the overall ranking, the two men of the Chen family are actually the family men.

And this seems to be the current situation in most areas of Sichuan Province.

Men from Sichuan Province seem to have a talent for cooking. Well, at least that's the case for most men from Sichuan Province that Chen Li met.

In addition, men from Sichuan Province love their wives more, so men from Sichuan Province also have a common nickname~

Rake your ears!

However, Chen Li currently has no chance to use his cooking skills. For Chen's father and Chen's mother, studying hard is what he should do.

"I've finished eating."

After finishing the rice grinding, Chen Li put down his bowl and chopsticks, not mentioning that there was too much salt in the vegetarian dishes at noon today.

After all, in the Chen family, although Chen Li's mother's cooking skills are only ranked third, she is very confident about her family status.

"Eat more? I cooked a little too much rice today."

Wang Dongmei stood up, took Chen Li's empty bowl and prepared to add rice.

In his previous life, Chen Li did not activate his talent for cooking before going out to work, probably because his mother took good care of him.

"No, mom, I'm full."

"You guys eat, I'll go back to the room and read a book." Chen Li stood up and walked towards the door.

Just when Chen Li was about to step through the door, a "ding dong~!" suddenly came from his mind.

"Ding dong~!"

"Mission: (fulfill mother's little wish)"

"Task description: Please eat another bowl of rice made by mother!"

"Task reward: Huaxia coins (2 yuan)"

"Do you want to receive it?"

"I!"

Chen Li almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, this bullshit system started to act like a monster again.

In recent years, the system has often made some glitches, and today these can only be considered minor.

From blowing up a latrine with firecrackers when a teacher was in the bathroom, to snatching a lollipop from a five-year-old girl on the street, the system has let him do all these things.

Chen Li also tried to refuse to accept tasks. After all, some tasks were too spoofy and ridiculous.

However, once you refuse to receive a task, the system will not issue any tasks for the next five consecutive days.

And compared to the previous silly and silly missions, today's mission is quite serious, at most, it may be a bit overwhelming.

But if Chen Li's calculations are good, there should be only three tasks left before the system upgrade, so Chen Li naturally can't give up.

Otherwise, the daylilies will be cold after another five days.

So Chen Li touched his belly, turned around and sat back down.

"What's wrong? Do you feel sick in your stomach?"

When Wang Dongmei saw Chen Li touching his belly, she thought her precious son had a stomachache.

"No, I just suddenly felt a little full. I wanted to eat more."

Chen Li shook his head, picked up the empty bowl and was about to go to the kitchen to scoop rice. However, Wang Dongmei's face lit up and she directly picked up Chen Li's empty bowl and went to the kitchen.

While walking, Wang Dongmei said: "Then eat some more. You are so thin, so you should eat more. Mom will scoop it up for you."

Chen Lili wanted to stop her, but his mother's movements were too fast and he didn't have time to stop her.

Thirty seconds later, Chen Li looked at the rice bowl that was almost standing in front of him, and he was stunned!
