Several people were sitting in the store, chatting animatedly.
Of course, Jia Xing Tian also knew what Haibodong had been doing in the past few decades, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really unpredictable. Who would have thought that Dou Huang expert would have his cultivation level sealed by Queen Snake People Tribe, haha"
Seeing this guy actually teasing him like this, the old man was a little angry, but he didn't show it.
His relationship with Jia Xing Tian is also good, and his relationship with Gu He is also okay, but they don't interact often.
At this time, Xiao Cheng suddenly asked.
"Elder Jia, why are you here free?"
When he saw this kid asking about it, he pretended to be angry and said.
"You have kidnapped my granddaughter for so long, I have to come and see it. If there is such a magical store, I am also curious to come and see it."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, he had an embarrassed look on his face, but after hearing the second half, he was quite speechless, thinking to himself.
"If you want to find out more about me, just tell me. It's boring to beat around the bush all the time. It's not transparent."
But on the surface he still smiled.
"What's there to see in my little shop, hehe?"
Seeing Xiao Cheng like this, the others laughed, but Jia Xing Tian turned serious and asked.
"Boy, I'll call you Xiao Cheng. Are your pastries really that magical?"
He didn't say anything, and went directly to the counter to get a pack of Peanut Nougat. He opened one pack, took out a piece and handed it to Jia Xing Tian, indicating that he could try it.
Jia Xing Tian looked at the unknown thing in his hand and hesitated.
But at this time, Yue'er next to him grabbed it, unpacked it, threw it directly into his grandfather's mouth, and said with a smile.
"Grandpa, just eat it. This is Peanut Nougat. It's delicious."
He was caught off guard and thrown into his granddaughter's mouth, and he still wanted to say something.
But the next moment, he thought this Peanut Nougat tasted pretty good.
After a moment, Jia Xing Tian's eyes widened suddenly. As the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi gathered into his body, the Dou Qi in his body was like a sponge, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy.
Not long after, it seemed that he had broken through the barrier of finding a way. He actually broke through and directly promoted from peak Nine-star Dou Huang to One-star Dou Zong.
The change of Jia Xing Tian naturally also fell in the eyes of Gu He and Haibodong. Their eyes couldn't help but condense, and their hearts were quite shocked.
"I didn't expect this old guy to break through to Dou Zong after eating a piece of Peanut Nougat. It's really a big opportunity."
And what Gu He is thinking is.
"He actually broke through. It seems that this old guy has deep blessings."
But at this time, Jia Xing Tian was still calming down the shock in his heart.
He himself never expected that just an inconspicuous piece of Peanut Nougat could have such a powerful effect, allowing him to break through to One-star Dou Zong. It was really incredible.
At this time, the Dou Qi in his body had returned to normal.
After exhaling a breath, he looked at Xiao Cheng and said gratefully.
"Xiao Cheng boy, I really don't know how to thank you."
Seeing Elder Jia being so polite, he also said quickly.
"I don't dare to accept your thanks. It's just a small thing. You don't need to thank me."
But he shook his head.
"No, I have been stuck at peak Nine-star Dou Huang for a long time. If there were no opportunities, I might not make any further progress until my death. Now that I have broken through to Dou Zong, it can be regarded as a big opportunity for me, haha."
Xiao Cheng also smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Yue'er actually took out the poker and said to everyone.
"Let's play Dou Dizhu. Store manager, do you want to play?"
He shook his head.
"I won't play, you three can play"
he thought.
"I don't want to play. I lost so badly last time, so I don't want to be abused anymore. These days, elementary school students can't afford to offend them."
But Jia Xing Tian on the side asked his granddaughter in confusion.
"What is this poker? And what is this Dou Dizhu?"
When I met Elder Jia and asked about poker and Dou Dizhu, Haibodong directly introduced him to what poker was, and then told him in detail how Dou Dizhu plays.
More than half an hour passed, and Jia Xing Tian finally understood what Dou Dizhu was about.
He thought this game was quite interesting and couldn't help but look forward to it.
When Xiao Cheng saw the expectant look in Elder Jia's eyes, he knew something was wrong. There was an old man being dragged into the water by Dou Dizhu.
"Alas, another one is about to fall under the power of Dou Dizhu."
Because Jia Xing Tian is playing for the first time, Gu He is a landlord, and he and Haibodong are farmers.
The next step is to distribute the cards, which are dealt by Yue'er.
In the end, the player with the best card turned out to be Jia Xing Tian, a newbie who was playing for the first time. This made Xiao Cheng a little bit dumbfounded and quite speechless.
However, fortunately, Elder Jia was not very good at playing the first time. Even though the cards were very good, he still lost the first game.
But the guardian of the Jia Ma Imperial Family really got interested and became addicted to playing.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Cheng also shook his head helplessly and let them play.
He looked around and found that there were still many customers in the store, so he went to the counter to help, but at this time the system sounded a notification tone.
Host, trigger the assessment task, do you want to check it?
This prompt made him a little confused. What is this thing? Assessment task. What is the assessment?
So he started to check it out.
Assessment task: Now you have the prototype of a pastry chef, but there is still a long way to go to become the strongest pastry chef in the Dou Qi Continent. Please ask the host to independently develop a drink based on the fruit ingredients on the Dou Qi Continent to go with the pastries.
Quest Reward: None (Note: There is no penalty for this task, and there is no Quest Time limit, but this task cannot be completed, and subsequent tasks cannot be triggered.)
When he read the contents of this assessment task, he really wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. This was torturing him.
He also asked him to independently develop a drink based on the fruit ingredients on the Dou Qi Continent, a drink.
System, are you kidding me? Are you not the pastry system? Why are drinks involved?
As if sensing Xiao Cheng's question, the system gave an answer.
Although the first purpose of the system is to train the host to become the strongest pastry chef, pastry will become tasteless if eaten alone for a long time, so it must be paired with some special drinks to get rid of the "greasy" feeling. He was still a little confused by what the system said, and scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"I still don't understand what this means"
After the system was silent for a few seconds, it finally spoke an analogy.
This is like the host eating Honeyed Shortbread, which is a bit too sweet and makes you feel greasy. If you have a drink at this time, the current problem can be solved. When the system says this, he will understand. It is like you have eaten several large meals of fish and meat in a row, and you are about to vomit after eating more. At this time, a plate of wild vegetables or stir-fried vegetables can relieve the greasiness.
It's just that this assessment task is too harsh. If you can't complete it, you can't take on other tasks.
This is directly converted from a normal copy to another copy of Hell Mode. I want to hit a wall!
However, there are still several tasks left, and the tasks are all long-term tasks, so there is no need to rush.
In desperation, he had no choice but to sigh secretly and continue to work.
In my heart, I have already greeted my relatives in the system thousands of times.
Of course, he eventually resigned himself to his fate.
