Chapter 4: Too Many Skills Don’t Overwhelm Your Body
Just when Wei Yi was taking a rest, Wei Qing came over with a plate of candied fruits.
"Brother, let's eat some preserves!"
Wei Qing placed the plate on the chopping board, glanced at Wei Yi's trembling right hand with her bright eyes, and felt very distressed.
"Qing'er, take it back and eat it with your aunt. After I recovered from my illness this time, I suddenly don't like eating these things anymore!" Wei Yi lied.
He knew that Wei Qing actually liked eating candied fruits.
But in the past, if there was delicious food at home, Wei Yi would eat it.
Both Wei Qing and Wei Xue were reluctant to eat more.
His predecessor was ignorant, but Wei Yi, who came from time travel, understood.
"Really?" Wei Qing was a little surprised, but she didn't question Wei Yi's words and took them seriously.
"Brother, if you are tired, go back to your room and rest first. The wind and cold are just right for you. It is not suitable for overexertion. You still need more rest. There is no rush to do ironwork this day. Balance work with rest!" Wei Qing paused. Said again.
"Don't worry, I know it well. I read in medical books that people who lack exercise always get sick, so I need to exercise more and exercise more. This body is like iron. It needs to be tempered to become strong and durable. I just use this iron to make it." , strengthen your body and kill two birds with one stone!"
"Oh, okay, but you still have to be careful and don't hurt your body!" "
Okay, Qing'er, help me tell Auntie to cook something delicious for lunch!" Wei Yi smiled and said, "By the way, let me tell my aunt again that I will learn to cook from her at noon!"
Wei Yi suddenly thought that cooking should also be a daily skill.
So I want to give it a try and see if I can unlock this cooking skill.
As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if you have many skills. If you can improve your cooking skills to a master level, you will have another way to make money.
After all, whether you are taking the imperial examination or practicing cultivation, it is a long road.
What's more, Wei Yi no longer wants to take the imperial examination.
With this system, I have ten thousand ways to reach the top of the world.
Why take the most difficult and boring path?
What he has to do now is to make money, make a lot of money, and change the fate of his family.
Then find a way to rescue the second uncle.
After all, no matter which world you are in, "money ability" can sometimes solve some things.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation have always been the most fundamental needs of human beings.
Related skills are also the fastest way to make money.
In addition, food is also one of the important ways to win people's hearts.
"Learning to cook?" Wei Qing slightly widened her black and white, bright eyes and looked at Wei Yi in surprise.
He also hated going to the kitchen before.
The so-called gentleman is far away from the kitchen
, but today he seems to be a little different.
Not only did he pick up a hammer to strike iron, he even offered to learn how to cook.
This made Wei Qing feel a little panicked.
I don’t know if failing was a big blow to him.
Or maybe the changes in his family made him grow up.
But no matter how hard she thought, she never imagined that under the familiar face in front of her, there had already been a new soul.
"Yes, I want to learn how to cook!" Wei Yi said decisively, his eyes firm and unquestionable.
"Oh, oh, okay, okay!" Wei Qing nodded slowly, then turned around to tell her mother about it.
But after walking a few steps, Wei Yi stopped him again: "Candied fruit!"
"Oh!" Wei Qing turned back and took away the candied fruit.
Wei Yi rested on the bamboo chair for a while and then stood up again.
Throw the iron material back into the blacksmith's furnace again, then pick out another piece of iron material and start hammering.
Along with the tinkling sound, Wei Yi looked at the growing proficiency with joy, and his heart was full of expectations.
As noon approached, Wei Yi's blacksmithing skills had reached the point where he was only 55% short of proficiency and had been promoted to the first level.
He is confident that his blacksmithing skills will reach the first level today.
Although he was indeed very tired, there were already many blood blisters on his palms, and his arm muscles were extremely sore.
But the fighting spirit and joy in his heart had already covered up all this.
When Wei Xue was preparing to cook, Wei Qing also went to notify Wei Yi.
Wei Yi hurriedly ran to the kitchen and looked at everything inside. It was really strange.
Regarding this place, the memory of the original owner is really blank.
But Wei Yi in his previous life was very good at cooking.
It's just that now it's a different world, and he needs to get familiar with the kitchen here and the various seasonings and ingredients.
At noon, Wei Xue made Wei Yi a pot of crucian carp soup to replenish his health, followed by fried meat with green bamboo shoots and fried eggs with green onions.
The crucian carp and meat were both bought by Wei Xue just this morning.
The family had no money, so she went to a pawn shop and pawned some of her jewelry to exchange some money for emergency relief.
Not only that, she also went to several nearby shops with good connections in the morning.
Ask the bosses and shopkeepers if anyone is willing to buy their yard.
Also ask them to help introduce suitable buyers.
Regarding Wei Tieshan's experience, everyone who is close to him and knows him well knows it. Everyone was not surprised at all when they heard that Mr. Wei Xue was selling his house, and could only express deep sympathy and regret.
Wei Yi watched from the sidelines as Wei Xue cooked crucian carp soup and fried fresh bamboo shoots. He asked questions and drew inferences throughout the process.
I also thoroughly understood the various seasonings and common ingredients in this world.
In fact, there is not much difference in the ingredients and seasonings between the two worlds. The main difference is also the difference of the times.
This is a world similar to the ancient past, and many of the modern seasonings of the past are not available here.
There are also many special seasonings that Blue Star did not have in the previous life, but overall they are similar and it is not difficult to master them.
"Auntie, let me make the scrambled eggs with green onions!" Wei Yi suggested.
He wanted to practice cooking quickly to see if he could unlock cooking skills.
"Are you going to do it?" Wei Xue was hesitant.
After all, eggs are quite expensive, and she was worried that Wei Yi could not fry them well and wasted the ingredients.
But I saw that Wei Yi had already started to beat the eggs, and then stirred the eggs skillfully.
Wei Xue swallowed the words as soon as they came to her lips.
She and Wei Qing next to her looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
As Wei Qing said, Wei Yi today is indeed a bit abnormal.
Wei Yi was too lazy to pretend. He mixed the eggs, and without waiting for Wei Xue's instructions, he began to cut green onions, then fry the eggs with oil.
Wei Xue was afraid that Wei Yi would fry the eggs, so she quickly provided guidance.
As the eggs were put into the pot, Wei Yi saw numbers appearing in front of him again.
119, 120, 121...
The number changes are different from blacksmithing. Every time you hit the blacksmith, the same number pops out.
But this time, the number seemed to be like time, growing a little more every second.
Along with a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions.
Wei Yi discovered that cooking skills indeed appeared in the system interface.
Cooking Skill: Level 1 (88% proficiency is still short of upgrade).
Seeing the system interface, Wei Yi was secretly happy, and he had indeed unlocked a new skill.
Moreover, improving cooking skills is much easier than blacksmithing.
I just don’t know how hard I have to be to be as good as a chef.
Wei Yi was secretly happy, and even thought of the wine-making skills from this cooking skill.
Food and wine are, of course, indispensable.
According to the memory of the original owner, the wine culture in this world is even worse than the ancient times in his previous life.
It is no exaggeration to say that a jug of fine wine can be worth thousands of dollars.
There are countless restaurants and taverns in the city.
The communication between the dignitaries of this world is also inseparable from fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women.
So if you master the wine and food at the same time, plus the sword.
That is really about developing human resources, making big money, and combining the three swords, you are invincible.
"Aunt, how are you? Am I very talented in cooking?" Wei Yi looked at his aunt and sister with some pride.
My aunt picked up a piece of egg with chopsticks and tasted it. She couldn't help but be full of surprise. Wei Yi's plate of scrambled eggs with green onions was very successful.
The eggs are tender, moderately salty, and actually taste really good.
Although this scrambled eggs is very simple, it is extremely rare for someone who has never been in the kitchen to be able to make it like this.
"It's very delicious, Yi'er. You really surprised Auntie!" "
In that case, Auntie, you can continue to guide me in cooking tonight, and leave the cooking to me in the future!"
"Brother ! , you, why do you suddenly like cooking?" Wei Qing was a little worried.
After all, Wei Yi today is so abnormal.
She was really afraid that he was so stimulated that he acted so abnormally.
Worried about whether there is something wrong with Wei Yi's mental state.
"As the saying goes, too many skills are too much for one's body, and I have thought carefully about the reasons for failing in the exam these days. I
found that it was completely wrong for me to study hard. Sometimes knowledge is not in books, but in life. In the market.
We, a bunch of students, talk a lot about the way to govern the country, talk about the past and the present, but we don’t even know how much money money is for firewood, rice, oil, and salt. We can only talk about war on paper.
Therefore, only by increasing our experience and life experience can we have a deeper understanding of the books of sages and sages. Enlightenment.
It is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. This is the truth! "
After hearing Wei Yi's words, Wei Qing's eyes gradually brightened and her beautiful eyebrows gradually stretched.
She originally thought that Wei Yi's temperament changed drastically because he failed the exam and suffered a blow, so that's why he behaved like this.
Unexpectedly, he just had a new understanding.
And what he just said sounded so reasonable.
"Okay, aunt will continue to guide you in cooking tonight!" After hearing Wei Yi's words, Wei Xue's heart finally fell to the ground.
