Chapter 860 - 745: Can We Rechoose?

Liu Junrong took the lead in singing the birthday song, and everyone else happily joined in.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Brother Sun, wishing you happiness and peace!"

Fu Yu and a few others earnestly sang the birthday blessing song.

Sun Wei just stared at them, and his heart sank bit by bit into the sincere blessings, as if he was swept away by the scene in front of him.

Sun Wei really didn’t expect anyone to treat him like this.

To make seaweed soup for him and sing a birthday song for him.

He actually had a pretty tough year; his family wasn’t around, he worked hard all day, and when he got home he couldn’t even have a warm meal.

The feeling of having no one caring, no one remembering is really quite unpleasant.

But now, a meticulously brewed seaweed soup was placed in front of him, with several people surrounding him, singing a birthday song for him.

Sun Wei looked at everything in front of him, and his expression changed, moved.

After everyone finished singing, Sun Wei slowly stood up, holding the bowl, dazed, and only after a while did he say, "Thank you, thank you all..."

The atmosphere was set, everyone there was young, and they all expressed their blessings to Sun Wei one by one, their eyes filled with sincere wishes.

Alcohol wasn’t allowed during kitchen work hours, and it was also too early for drinks.

Everyone used soup instead of alcohol, clinking their bowls and sipping.

In the beginning, Xu Wei held back his emotions, but once the warm, delicious seaweed soup entered his stomach, his tears could no longer be contained, and he turned to secretly wipe them away...

He moved quickly, so no one else noticed.

Fu Yu was carefully picking out the tiny bones from the crucian carp when suddenly an electronic notification sounded beside his ear:

[Ding! NPC front desk attendant Jiang Mo’s task: Make a bowl of seaweed soup that moves Sun Wei to tears. Successfully completed, reward obtained: Detailed explanation of certain soup recipes]

Upon hearing the system notification, Fu Yu was instantly delighted.

Sun Wei was actually moved to tears?

Fu Yu sneaked a glance at Sun Wei while sipping the soup, only to see Sun Wei slightly turn his head, raised his hand to quickly wipe his face.

When he raised his head again, there were no obvious traces on Sun Wei’s face, but upon closer observation, one would notice the sparkle in his eyes.

The tender beef was all picked out, the seaweed soup devoured, and Sun Wei almost wanted to lick the bowl clean, unwilling to let it end.

"Xiaofu, the seaweed soup you made is really incredibly delicious, especially fresh, and the beef is incredibly tender, it’s the best seaweed soup I’ve ever had in my life!"

After finishing his compliment, Sun Wei belatedly realized that after Fu Yu just told him a birthday wish, he immediately praised Fu Yu’s culinary skills, which seemed a bit too deliberate.

So he hurriedly added: "This is not fake politeness! This seaweed soup is truly delicious!"

Liu Junrong, busy eating, muttered in agreement: "Got it! Chef Fu’s food is really tasty!"

Liu Yuqing and Jiang Mo also expressed agreement with this statement.

Each of them held a big bowl of rice, soaked in rich crucian carp and tofu soup, mixed with a spoonful of fresh and spicy steamed shrimp paste, taking bites of fish, soup with rice, eating to the point they couldn’t raise their heads.

Fu Yu watched Liu Yuqing eat so heartily, and felt an overwhelming sense of pride, cooking for someone you like to eat, that feeling really makes the heart flutter!

People in the kitchen started coming in to work, and upon hearing that breakfast was crucian carp and tofu soup made by Fu Yu, they all exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Yuqing and Jiang Mo finished eating and were about to return to the front desk.

Fu Yu helped them clean up the bowls and chopsticks: "Just leave it, you both go ahead, I’ll clean up."

"I’m stuffed, it was really delicious!" Jiang Mo complimented repeatedly.

Liu Yuqing chimed in: "I ate a bit too much too, I need to stand around and digest it later."

Fu Yu said with a smile: "If you both like it, I’ll make it again next time."

Jiang Mo smiled brightly upon hearing this: "Great! Chef Fu, this is the best crucian carp soup I’ve ever tasted, so fresh and delicious."

Liu Yuqing immediately added: "All his fish soups are really tasty, besides fish soup, the seafood soup is also particularly delightful!"

When it came to praising Fu Yu, these two were not willing to be outdone at all.

Having two girls admire him like this, the feeling is really not bad.

Fu Yu smiled: "No problem, I’ll make them for you when I get the chance."

Jiang Mo looked at him with admiration.

Liu Yuqing was extremely satisfied inside, proud of Fu Yu’s prowess, feeling especially joyful.

"Chef Fu is really great!"

Liu Junrong echoed: "Chef Fu is amazing!"

Jiang Mo wasn’t to be outdone: "Chef Fu, you’re awesome!"

Fu Yu couldn’t help but cough, this is too much, being praised to the point of floating.

After breakfast, the few people left the kitchen.

Fu Yu called others over to have breakfast and took the opportunity to move aside to check the reward he just received.

When accepting the task, the system’s description of the reward was very concise, but when it was actually awarded, there was an exclamation mark [!] indicating annotation.

Fu Yu chose to check it.

[Note: Detailed explanation of certain soup recipes, can randomly choose types: Meat Soup, Vegetable Soup, Clear Soup, Thick Soup, Milk Soup, etc.]

Upon seeing the notification, Fu Yu’s dissatisfaction with the system faded significantly.

Unexpectedly, this reward is really a gem!

The first soup type Fu Yu thought of was seafood soup!

As the most taxing and complex type of soup, seafood soup is a worthy challenge for him, whether for work application or for learning value!
