WPG0031: A Reward for Tasting Delicious Food?

Xia Yuqing first checked the dishes An Wuyang had selected. When she saw he had picked three steamed fish dishes, she directly scrolled to the vegetable category.

Since three steamed fish dishes were already enough for them to eat, there was no need to add more and risk wasting food.

"An classmate, I added a plate of tomato salad and a cucumber salad. What do you think?" Xia Yuqing asked.

An Wuyang replied affirmatively, "No problem."

The tomato salad cut the grease, and the cucumber salad was refreshing. The two paired well with the three steamed fish dishes.

After Xia Yuqing placed the order on her phone, all the dishes were served in less than ten minutes.

An Wuyang secretly wondered—could these be pre-made dishes?

Once the staff had set all five dishes on the table and left, An Wuyang said quietly, "Do they steam the fish in advance, like Meicai Kou Rou, and just bring it out when customers order?"

Xia Yuqing shook her head. "No, they just prep the fish beforehand and marinate it. When we order, they put it in the steamer."

"Steaming fish is really fast!" Xia Yuqing added. She guessed An Wuyang probably didn't know how to cook.

If he did, he'd know how quickly fish could be steamed.

Especially catfish, sea bass, and mandarin fish—these all cooked through fast.

"An classmate, try the fish and you'll see—it tastes great, and the texture is wonderful too!" Xia Yuqing recommended.

"Mm, I'll give it a try." An Wuyang picked up his chopsticks. He didn't offer them to Xia Yuqing first but started eating directly.

This wasn't because An Wuyang lacked manners or awareness—it was simply because his relationship with Xia Yuqing wasn't close enough.

Different levels of intimacy called for different actions!

Even though the Character Scoring System had confirmed Xia Yuqing's favorability toward him was as high as 90 points, An Wuyang had no intention of taking advantage of that.

The education he had received since childhood, his worldview, and the pride ingrained in his bones all forbade him from doing such things.

Many people misunderstood the second and third generations of wealthy families, often assuming they were all useless.

But that wasn't the case at all!

Whether second or third generation, these people had access to better educational resources, more broad-minded elders, better financial conditions, and often a more relaxed family atmosphere. All these factors combined meant they were often more likely to become elite talents.

The mainstream society's negative image of wealthy second and third generations had actually fallen behind the times. Most people's impressions of them probably still lingered in the era of "My dad is XX."

After all, the new generation of wealthy heirs had already become completely different.

An Wuyang first picked up a piece of steamed mandarin fish. Among the three steamed fish dishes, the mandarin fish was prepared simply steamed, making it the lightest in flavor. So he ate the lightest first, to avoid being influenced by stronger tastes.

As the steamed mandarin fish entered his mouth, An Wuyang felt its delicate texture—truly what people called "melting on the tongue."

Zhulin Pier Steamed Fish Restaurant chose mandarin fish weighing about one jin—small fish. At this weight, the flesh was tender. Combined with excellent heat control during steaming, the texture was fine and smooth, without any dryness.

More importantly, there was no fishy smell!

The biggest problem with steamed freshwater fish was controlling the fishy odor.

If a steamed freshwater dish had any fishy smell, it was a failure.

Zhulin Pier Steamed Fish Restaurant's steamed mandarin fish was excellently done—no fishy smell at all. It perfectly preserved the fish's freshness while removing the freshwater fishy taste, and there was no strong cooking wine or onion-ginger flavor.

He had to admit, this restaurant did it well!

An Wuyang sighed inwardly. Such a good restaurant, and he had never discovered it before.

Maybe it was because he was born into a wealthy family and would never have come to a place like this to eat?

'Ding!'

'Congratulations, host, for experiencing a delicious taste on your tongue!'

'The unforgettable flavor brought you pleasure on your taste buds!'

'Congratulations, host, for receiving a Gourmet Lucky Draw Pack.'

???

A Gourmet Lucky Draw Pack?

There was actually such a good thing?

"Is it good?" Xia Yuqing looked at An Wuyang expectantly.

"Very good!" An Wuyang answered affirmatively.

After all, the Happy Life System had given out a food reward, and since the system judged based on An Wuyang's preferences, this steamed mandarin fish was naturally delicious.

"Mm-hmm!" Hearing An Wuyang say it was good, Xia Yuqing smiled, as if she felt a sense of shared pride.

This was actually normal.

It was the inner satisfaction that came from sharing something and receiving positive feedback.

For example, recommending a good TV series to a friend—when the friend also said it was great, the sharer felt a sense of pleasure.

While continuing to eat the steamed mandarin fish, An Wuyang mentally instructed the Happy Life System to open the Gourmet Lucky Draw Pack.

'Ding!'

'Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Beginner Shopping Cashback Card from the Gourmet Lucky Draw Pack.'

Beginner Shopping Cashback Card:

Uses: 1

Maximum Limit: 50,000 yuan

Cashback Multiplier: 1 to 5 times

Note 1: If the host uses this card for a single purchase not exceeding 50,000 yuan, the system will randomly refund the purchase amount.

Note 2: The corresponding cashback funds will be obtained by the system through the host's White Eagle US stock market account, and tax settlement and payment procedures will be carried out upon remittance into the country.

An Wuyang examined the Beginner Shopping Cashback Card he had obtained from the Gourmet Lucky Draw Pack, feeling somewhat indifferent.

A maximum limit of 50,000 yuan?

A maximum cashback multiplier of 5 times?

Meaning he could get at most 300,000 yuan in profit?

Who did this think he was?

His family business was about to turn around, wasn't it?

And with the 'Ningzhi Ruoxue' series of products, it was about to leap from a 'small enterprise' with an annual profit of less than nine digits into a rising star in innovative drug R&D with an annual profit reaching ten digits!

A paltry 300,000 yuan in profit truly failed to spark any interest in An Wuyang; he didn't even take it to heart.

An Wuyang was born into a wealthy and powerful family—he wasn't some clueless nobody!

After all, a 'mere' 300,000 yuan couldn't possibly bring him any ecstatic joy, let alone make him deliriously happy.

It was like a high-level white-collar worker earning 10,000 yuan a month finding 5 yuan on the street—could you really expect them to be overjoyed?

Of course, they'd be happy, sure—free money, after all, who wouldn't be happy?
