Mag did not add the smashed cucumber salad successfully to the menu, as this smashed cucumber salad still had yet to reach the system’s requirements.

Points were deducted as too much juice had seeped out of the cucumber.

“It’s not my fault that there’s too much liquid? I didn’t do anything to it.” Mag shrugged innocently.

“There are many things to be improved on for this smashed cucumber salad. It has yet to reach the System’s standard of perfection. Please continue practicing and researching!” the System said strictly.

Stupid System asking for so much. Mag pressed his lips together as he looked at the smashed cucumber salad in front of him worriedly.

“Father, this smashed cucumber salad is really good. The customers would definitely love it,” Amy said happily as she placed the basin in her arms down while eating the smashed cucumber salad.

“It is good, but it still hasn’t reached the standard where it could be served to customers,” Mag said with a shake of his head.

“This is not good? But the Sy—”

“Warning! Warning! Warning! Please abide by the secret rule!” The Life Experience System’s warning alert rang immediately.

“sy… Seriously, Little Amy thinks it’s perfect already.” Little Amy swallowed her words.7

“There is too much liquid seeping out. Besides, there is even more liquid now. This means that the taste of the cucumber will decline with time. This is a very bad weakness.” Mag shook his head. He also realized the severity of the problem when he saw the increasing liquid in the plate.

Drinking was an activity that would last a rather long time. If a side dish was unable to stay as good as it was after a long time, it would be a failed dish.

The cucumber’s texture relied on the juice in it. Loss of liquid would result in its texture going bad.

If Mag could not resolve the problem of the liquid seeping out, the smashed cucumber salad could not be served.

“system, in that case, have I completed my mission?” Amy asked inwardly.

“There are no new dishes on the menu…”

“But you’ve given your rating just now. It was a perfect smashed cucumber salad,” Amy said seriously.

“.” System.

According to the Life Experience System’s standards, it was indeed already a perfect smashed cucumber salad. It was suitable to go with rice or porridge.

However, the problem now lay with the fact that the little mistress’s father was not satisfied with this standard of smashed cucumber salad.

“What a stubborn old man!” The System tagged Mag.

“Stupid System, you’re not allowed to speak badly about my father!” Amy said angrily.

“Alright, Little Mistress.” The Life Experience System was in a rather awkward position now.

It was the one who gave the review, but now the dish did not make it onto the menu. That meant that its standards could not be compared to a human’s, and this was terrible.

“As the dish did not reach the creator’s expectation, the System will deem the mission unfinished. Please continue to assist your father in improving the dish to complete the mission!” The System’s voice rang.

“Hmph! Liar!” Amy said angrily.

“Putting plant oil in beforehand may be able to reduce the amount of liquid seeping out. You can try to hint your father in this direction!” the System quickly suggested.

Amy looked at Mag, who was troubled, and suggested, “Father, why don’t we try mixing the red oil and the cucumbers together first?”

“Mix the red oil first?” Mag was a little surprised at Amy’s suggestion, but after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, “T’ll give it a shot.”

The recipe was already perfect, and Mag could not think of any better way to improve it yet.

However, Amy’s words did remind him of something. The sequence in which the different seasonings were added might be important.

After smashing another cucumber, Mag sliced it horizontally this time to increase its surface area.

After that, he poured a spoonful of red oil on the cucumber, mixed it well, and allowed the red oil to completely cover the surface of the cucumber before pouring in the flavoring sauce.

After the well-mixed cucumber was put in the refrigerator, the father-and-daughter duo waited patiently at the side.

Awhile later, Mag opened the refrigerator to retrieve the smashed cucumber salad.

“It’s less watery!” Amy exclaimed.

“Yes.” Mag’s eyes lit up as well when he saw the significantly smaller amount of liquid in the plate.

“Let’s give it a try.” Mag picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth.

It was still as sour and spicy, but the texture of the cucumber was even better. It had become crunchier and juicier, much to one’s surprise.

“An acceptable smashed cucumber salad! Can be placed in the menu.

“Ding! Congratulations on completing the dish creation mission! Two side dishes had been released! Please accept them!”

The system’s voice sounded in Mag’s mind.

“Little Amy, you’re awesome! We’ve made a good side dish successfully!” Mag said happily as he picked Amy up and spun her around twice.

Mag did not know how long this smashed cucumber salad would’ve taken to complete if it were not for Amy’s reminder.

“That’s great! This cucumber is really delicious.” Amy was all smiles as well.

“Ding! Congratulations on helping your father create a new side dish! Mission reward: a set of miniature kitchenware!

“Side quest: Attack on Cucumber! Please learn to make this dish and experience cooking for real.”

‘Amy’s Life Experience System released the mission reward and a new mission at the same time.

“You’re a terrible system!” Amy frowned.

“22?” System.

“Tve already told you not to give me any cooking missions. Whom are you trying to look down on? And whom are you trying to make things difficult for?” Amy said seriously.

“The Life Experience System exists to allow Little Mistress to have a better life experience. There may be difficulties, but as long as you overcome the challenges, everything will become beautiful scenery along the journey,” the System said.

“You are the challenge that I want to overcome the most right now.” Amy pouted.7

“Be good. The rewards coming up would be even better, and there might even be a snack hamper,” the System said in a gentle tone.

“Really?”

“Really!”

“Alright. I will believe you once more.” Amy nodded. After that, she looked at Mag, and said, “Father, can I learn this?”

Mag looked into Amy’s azure blue eyes blinking adorably at him, and there was only one thought in his head: say yes!

However, his rationale won, and he said, “If you like it, Little Amy, I can make it for you.”Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

“But I want to learn.” Amy reached her hand out, grabbed two of Mag’s fingers, and swayed them from side to side as she pleaded, “I want to leam a simple dish too. That way, I can make it for everyone.”

Mag’s heart was melted by the little fellow’s adorableness. The burnt fried rice, chaotic kitchen, and more were all thrown to the back of his head. Mag agreed, saying, “Alright, alright, I’ll teach you how to make the smashed cucumber salad.”

“Hehe! I knew Father was the best,” Amy said happily with a smile.

“In that case, we have to start learning from smashing cucumbers.” Mag picked out two cucumbers from the refrigerator, washed them, and placed them on the chopping board. After that, he picked up Fat Head Fish.

Meanwhile, Amy also pulled out her miniature kitchenware, which consisted of knives, a chopping board, and more..
