I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 818 - 356: Dundun’s Thanks—Item Upgrade Card! Junior Brother, Can You Debone a Fish Head?

Chapter 818: Chapter 356: Dundun’s Thanks—Item Upgrade Card! Junior Brother, Can You Debone a Fish Head?

Moreover, Five-Spice Smoked Fish can be eaten hot or cold.

It’s absolutely a versatile performer among fish dishes.

But what surprised Lin Xu wasn’t the dish, it was the Item Upgrade Card appearing for the first time.

From binding to the system until now, Lin Xu had acquired several special tools, like Heartless Iron Hand, Eye of Discrimination, and the recently obtained Hand is a Scale, all of which are special tools.

Of course, the little Baobao jumping around in the room is also a special tool.

Upgrade what?

Lin Xu actually wanted to upgrade the God of Wealth divine artifact, curious to see what would happen to Dundun after upgrading.

But when he chose to use the Item Upgrade Card, the option for upgrading items showed the God of Wealth artifact section as dim.

There was also a line of explanation next to it:

"This item is in a lost or uncontrolled state, upgrade unavailable."

I really want to know what the system did to Dundun to make this little guy target it so much, not only backstabbing the system in various ways but even severing the connection with the system.

Unfortunately, there’s no Cat Language Skill in the Life Skills section, otherwise, I’d exchange it no matter how expensive, and have a good chat with Dundun, hear its gossip with the system.

Since Dundun can’t be upgraded, Lin Xu took a look and then used the Item Upgrade Card on [Hand is a Scale].

When he first acquired this tool, the accuracy was ±25 grams, then under the system’s inducement, he spent 1.88 million points to upgrade to a ±5 grams standard.

Not sure what the accuracy will be after this upgrade.

Upon choosing to use it, the card flashed a burst of golden light, and the system’s notification sound immediately rang:

"One Item Upgrade Card consumed, special tool [Hand is a Scale] successfully upgraded from a 5 grams margin of error to 1 gram margin of error, the item is now max level, congratulations to the host."

"The host obtained a max-level special tool for the first time, rewarded with Superior Cooking Basic Techniques - Stuffed, congratulations to the host."

Holy crap!

Lin Xu couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

Never expected it, Hand is a Scale actually upgraded to the point of 1 gram deviation, isn’t this what a culinary master needs?

Even more unexpected, achieving max level on special skills comes with an additional reward.

Although the Stuffed technique can only prepare dishes like Stuffed Bitter Melon, Stuffed Winter Melon, Stuffed Sponge Gourd, having more skills never hurts, who knows when they might come in handy.

The two didn’t disturb Dundun much, went downstairs and sat on the spacious sofa, turning on the newly equipped hundred-inch TV in the morning, and flipped through TV programs randomly with the remote.

What to watch isn’t important, what’s important is this comfortable and leisurely life.

Recalling the early days of opening the store, waking up at four in the morning to buy groceries at the market, and then being busy in the store all day, Lin Xu couldn’t help but sigh.

All the hard work is worth it.

At night, after freshening up, lying on the spacious bed that’s so wide you wouldn’t fall off after rolling twice, feels so comfy!

From today, there’s finally no need to worry about Shen Baobao hogging the quilt.

In fact, even if she rolls herself into a giant towel roll, the remaining corners of the quilt can still cover Lin Xu snugly, big bed, big quilt, sleeping is just comfortable.

Early the next morning.

After waking up, Lin Xu instinctively reaches for the electronic clock on the bedside cabinet to check the time, only to realize he’s not in that two-bedroom apartment when he stretches his hand out and can’t reach the bedside cabinet.

He gives Shen Baobao a kiss, tucks the quilt over this girl’s body, puts on a bathrobe, and gets out of bed.

Freshens up first, then enters the walk-in closet, puts on home clothes, just about to go downstairs to check the breakfast, a sleepy-eyed Baobao on the bed sits up:

"Xu, want a hug~"

Lin Xu walks over, tucks the corners of the quilt for this girl:

"Sleep a bit more, I’ll go cook first, and call you when breakfast is ready."

"Mua~~~ then I’ll nap for two more minutes, and then go to the rooftop to do yoga."

"Alright, alright."

Downstairs, Chen Meijuan is with Lin Hongqi downstairs wrapping dumplings.

"Why don’t you sleep a bit more?"

"I wake up at this time every day...Whoa, so sumptuous."

Lin Xu thought there were only dumplings, but it turned out there were also five-grain porridge, mixed grain pancakes, fried spring rolls, crispy fried twists, and various side dishes.

"Prepared so much, can’t finish it all."

He pinched a small twist shaped like a braid and took a bite, crispy and delicious.

Chen Meijuan said:

"This is our first meal in the new home, whether finished or not, it should be sumptuous... You rascal, have you washed your face before starting to eat? Haven’t even worshipped the Kitchen God yet, shame on you as a chef... Didn’t you worship the Kitchen God when you first opened the store?"

Lin Xu didn’t expect his mom to be so superstitious, he laughed and said:

"No."

"And the store is doing so well?"

"We worship the God of Wealth."

Chen Meijuan laughed angrily:

"You’re full of nonsense all day, just like your dad when he was young."

Lin Hongqi: ????

Can’t win an argument with your son so you pin it on me huh?

The family of three was chatting when the just-woken Dundun came bouncing down the stairs.

Seeing everyone in the kitchen, it stood at the kitchen door and meowed softly:

"Meow~~~~"

Lin Xu stuffed the remaining twist into his mouth and asked Dundun:

"Are you hungry?"

"Meow~"

Chen Meijuan got up and brought over a plate that was airing aside:

"Steamed some beef tenderloin for Dundun this morning, it’s something specifically asked to be given to Dundun by your mother-in-law, said to be imported beef... You two should hurry and have a child, just look at your mother-in-law’s eager yearning to be a grandmother."

"You’re the same..."
