Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 449: Chapter 348: Unlocking Page 7

She was a foodie influencer with over two hundred thousand followers. What made Feng Jingjing most proud was that the majority of these followers were locals.

This gave her TikTok account immense value.

Because of the tight-knit community, her conversion rate was exceptionally high.

She even made over a million a month from this TikTok account!

"Yes, that’s my only request!" Yang Yixue said excitedly.

She just couldn’t stand to see Jiang Liu doing well,

so she had painfully forked over a hundred thousand to hire a famous food blogger to slander Jiang Liu’s shop.

"Alright, I’ll take the job!"

Feng Jingjing glanced at the excited Yang Yixue and said with a smile, "Don’t you worry. A little bun shop owner? I can handle him with my eyes closed. Forget a small-timer like him, I’ve taken down several restaurants worth millions."

She felt like this was the easiest money she’d ever made. All she had to do was go to Jiang Liu’s shop and eat a bun.

Say a few words, and a hundred thousand would be hers.

It couldn’t get any better than this.

"We’re heading out, Brother Jiang! Take care of yourself!"

"Can I get a mouthful of chili oil to go, Boss Jiang?"

"Sure."

Jiang Liu was carrying a thermal container into the kitchen.

"Daddy, I’ll help you!" Jiang Tongtong hurried over, struggling to support the bottom of the container with her two little hands.

"HNNNG!"

She was using every last bit of her toddler strength.

The container was placed in the kitchen.

Jiang Liu barely suppressed a laugh.

"Huff... huff... This little cutie is exhausted!"

Tongtong panted lightly, a happy smile on her little face.

Even though she was tired, she had helped her daddy share the load.

"Honey, are you tired?"

"Not tired."

"Oh, really?"

Jun Qingmeng discreetly sized up Jiang Liu’s strong, sturdy arms, a blush creeping up her delicate ears.

"Want some water?" she asked in a low, smiling voice.

"Yes!"

The corners of Jun Qingmeng’s mouth turned up. She filled a cup with hot water and brought it to the working Jiang Liu’s lips.

She loved being with Jiang Liu; no matter what they were doing, she was happy.

"Thanks, honey."

"I don’t want a ’thank you’."

"MWAH!"

Jiang Liu got the hint and planted a kiss on his wife’s delicate cheek.

Jun Qingmeng pressed her lips together and lowered her head, smiling.

"Daddy!"

Jiang Tongtong stomped her little foot, angry. "Tongtong just helped Daddy carry the container, so why didn’t Daddy kiss me?"

A jealous question from his daughter.

"MWAH! Happy now?"

"More!"

"Mwah."

"Hehe, you’re the best, Daddy."

Tongtong grinned, laughing happily.

Jiang Liu shook his head.

’What a silly little girl.’

Suddenly, Jiang Liu froze.

The seventh page of the Gourmet Album had appeared.

It had the same orange pattern.

Only this time, the image in the center didn’t look like food, but an oval icon.

’What is this?’

Jiang Liu glanced at his Good-Karma Points. He now had 650,000.

"Divine Book, what are the conditions to unlock the seventh page?"

This time, it responded.

Words appeared on it.

[Good-Karma Points required for unlock: 600,000.]

Jiang Liu was thrilled.

It was a good thing he’d saved up so many points.

It seemed there were no prerequisites this time.

"Unlock the seventh page!"

The Gourmet Album paused.

The image sharpened, revealing a single character on the seventh page: Lu.

[Congratulations! You have received a reward: Choose any 3 ingredients to unlock.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Ancient Shandong Cuisine Cookbook.]

[Unlock Reward: Luck +5. Current Luck: 8.]

The words gradually faded.

Next to the Gourmet Album, an ancient, tattered cookbook materialized.

’What is all this...?’ Jiang Liu was dumbfounded.

It took him a good while of studying it to understand.

He grew excited.

He could actually choose three ingredients and unlock the ability to purchase them!

The importance of ingredients went without saying.

You could say ingredients are the foundation of all dishes. If you gave a master chef spoiled produce, they would still cook garbage.

But if you started with the best ingredients, they might not even need cooking to be considered top-tier.

Just like high-grade tuna or ham.

Jiang Liu knew this from personal experience.

’What ingredients should I choose?’

He hesitated for a moment, not wanting to choose rashly.

If he was going to choose, he had to pick the most commonly used ingredients.

’I’ll think it over tonight...’

Jiang Liu snapped out of his thoughts and found two pairs of bright, curious eyes staring at him without blinking.

"Er... what are you two looking at me for?"

"Because you’re handsome!"

"Daddy, why do I feel like you’ve gotten more handsome?"

Jiang Liu felt a little sheepish, but he put on a stern face. "Wasn’t your daddy handsome before?"

"Handsome! Daddy has always been handsome! Tongtong likes you very, very much."

Jiang Tongtong grew a little shy.

"Come on, let’s go buy some groceries."

"Okay~"

Jiang Liu planned to try his hand at Shandong cuisine, starting with a dish of Moo Shu Pork.

The reason he chose this was that he could already purchase the main ingredients—pork and eggs—from the Gourmet Album.

Jiang Liu was becoming more and more aware of the importance of ingredients.

’It would be great if every unlock from now on gave me the right to choose.’

’And some awesome new recipes would be even better.’

He was going to master every style of cuisine and take it to the pinnacle of the world!

He parked the car next to the stone lion at the entrance of the wet market.

As soon as he got out of the car, Jiang Liu felt himself step on something.

He lifted his foot and saw it was a gold ring.

"Wow, Daddy, it’s gold!"

Jun Qingmeng leaned over curiously. "Looks like it’s real. Your luck is pretty good today, huh, honey?"

She looked at Jiang Liu, her beautiful eyes smiling.

"Not bad luck."

Jiang Liu picked up the ring. It was a little bent from being stepped on.

He casually weighed it in his hand.

’It’s probably only about three grams.’ Jiang Liu wasn’t particularly impressed.

’Looks like adding five points to Luck really makes a difference. I find things as soon as I step out the door.’

Jiang Liu felt that his luck before hadn’t been bad, but it wasn’t good either—just average.

If it weren’t for the Gourmet Album, he might be working some menial job somewhere right now.

He wouldn’t even be able to support himself, let alone raise Tongtong.

"Dada, can I touch it?"

"Here."

"Hehe."

Jiang Tongtong was very happy. She had never touched gold before.

Yang Yixue used to have some, but she always kept it locked away and wouldn’t let her touch it.

After buying groceries at the market,

the three of them got back in the car.

Tongtong put the ring in her pocket, treasuring it immensely.

She was going to save it. In the future, she would buy a beautiful little RV, and Daddy would drive it, and she would take her mommy and daddy traveling together!

Jiang Liu had just started the car when his phone, sitting on the side, rang.

It was a message from Wang City: "What are you up to, Boss Jiang? I have some good news. The property deed came in early. Maybe because it’s the weekend, the staff processed it a bit faster yesterday. I can swing by around noon and drop it off for you."

Jiang Liu glanced at it casually.

He was quite surprised. ’My luck is really good.’

Jiang Liu replied: "Great. In that case, come on over at noon, Lawyer Wang. I’m actually planning to test a new dish, so you can give me your opinion on it."

"If it’s good, you can take some home for your wife and kids."

Wang City beamed the moment he saw Jiang Liu’s message.

He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He didn’t care if he got to eat his fill, but being able to bring some home for his wife and kids would be amazing!

Wang City: "No problem! I don’t even have to think about it; anything you make is guaranteed to be delicious. Make sure to pack me up a big portion!"

"My wife is dying to eat your food. She’s picked several fights with me over the last two days about it."
