Chapter 20 What to do if you can't cook?

Bai Nuo glanced at the time; it was only a little past seven in the evening. She quickly went to the grain warehouse to find something to eat.

Upon entering the granary, two rows of solid wood hanging cabinets were installed on the left-hand wall. She had found these cabinets in a food exhibition in her previous life. There were two hundred cabinets in total, each about fifty centimeters wide, with a glass door. Cooked food could be placed inside, and the stillness of the warehouse helped to keep it fresh and prevented cross-contamination of flavors. The food would be exactly as it was when it was made.

Because of the cabinet doors, even if it's placed in the same warehouse as the grain shelves, it still looks clean. And since the space is dust-free, you can eat with more peace of mind.

"Host, you can cook?"

The system followed Bai Nuo, looking at the transparent cabinet on one wall with surprise. There wasn't much cooked food inside, only about one-fifth of the cabinet, but for the system that had been with its host for more than half a year in its previous life, it was still very surprised, after all, it had never seen its host cook before.

This is also the first time the system has followed its host into the farm space. In its previous life, its system space was always stored in Bai Nuo's soul pool, instead of being attached to its own host's sea of ​​consciousness, that is, in their head, like other systems.

It's not that the system doesn't want to, but rather that it doesn't dare to. As everyone knows, the heads of superhumans in the apocalypse are not to be touched. Even if the host could crush them to death at any moment in the Soul Pool, the system can only stay there obediently.

Now it's all right. It has finally been put into the space by the host. Although it has to help the host manage the space, and because the space is bound to the host's soul, it is still subject to the host's control here. But it is still better than living in fear in the Soul Pool.

This falls into the category of situations where the level of threat is the same, but the perceived tolerance is different.

"No way!" Bai Nuo picked out a teriyaki chicken leg rice bowl, then carried the lunchbox out of the warehouse area, saying as she walked, "These were all made by chefs I used to hire with supplies. The teachers who raised me were professors at top universities in Shanghai before the apocalypse, and they dedicated their lives to education. Even though they married two couples without having children, they ate in the cafeteria for most of their lives. Even after the apocalypse started and they needed to support me, the food they made was only good enough to keep people from dying. They had no cooking skills to teach me. Besides, supplies were scarce back then, and just surviving was a great achievement."

"So..." The system looked at its host speechlessly.

Bai Nuo shrugged matter-of-factly: "So, the only thing I can make after being raised by them is that it won't kill anyone."

"What will we do after we go to the countryside?" The system looked at its carefree host with a sigh.

These days, you can't find a chef to cook for you every day except at state-run restaurants.

Bai Nuo suddenly stopped and silently looked at the system.

"...Why are you looking at me? Why are you looking at me? I can't cook. I'm not even as long as that big ladle in the kitchen on the first floor of the building."

Bai Nuo didn't say anything, but just frowned slightly, sighed softly, shook his head, and with a thought, returned to the pavilion outside the small building. He placed the lunchbox in his hand on the coffee table, sat down on the ground, and began to eat.

"What did you just mean? Are you looking down on me?" The system was so angry that it jumped up and down in mid-air.

"No, you're overthinking it. Even if you were willing to cook for me, I wouldn't dare to eat it. I'm afraid I'd poison myself instead of you. But I just glanced at the Time and Space Mall, and there's a home butler robot that looks pretty good. They also sell various educational courses. I wonder if I could learn with the robot."

Upon hearing this, the system paused, turned around, and flew towards the gate of the small building, leaving behind the words, "I'll go check."

When the system returned, her face was full of surprise: "It really works! That home butler robot can not only do laundry, cook, and organize items, but it also has the skills of planting and raising animals."

Furthermore, we can purchase cooking courses in the store, and you can also learn culinary skills from chefs in other timelines. After all, you'll still need to cook for yourself after going to the countryside, otherwise it might attract strange attention.

Bai Nuo understood what the system meant; it was genuinely for her benefit, so she wouldn't resist and obediently nodded.

"However, that robot is too expensive. I can't use my points in the host's time-space shop, and the system shop doesn't have this kind of butler robot."

The system really went to great lengths for this family. It looked at its host with its head drooping helplessly and then said, "By the way, I haven't activated the check-in program for the past two days because you've been busy dealing with the Ma family. But I've kept all the free lottery tickets for you every day. You have nine now. If you're going out tomorrow, don't forget to let me activate the check-in location scanning program."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, A-Tong. What would this family do without you!" Bai Nuo lowered her head and obediently ate her meal while coaxing her thoughtful little system.

"Hehe, don't be so polite, it's all what Ah Tong should do." The little system was suddenly praised by its host, and its motherboard got a little hot. Then it asked, "Then host, we can't buy robots now, we don't even have a single point to buy a teaching course."

As the saying goes, education is the most expensive thing, but the teaching courses in the Time and Space Mall are very cheap, basically given to users for free, aiming to enable users to be self-reliant and strong.

"There's no need to worry about that." Bai Nuo quickly finished the last bite, let out a satisfied sigh, and continued, "Didn't we smuggle dozens of big boxes back from that fat pig director's house? There should be quite a few treasures inside. If they are antiques or paintings, as long as they are not national cultural relics, they can be listed for sale in the Time Mall. But remember to uncheck the foreigner option in the buyer selection. For purchasing from different dimensions, both modern and interstellar are fine. As for what happens after that, that's not my business. We just need to keep our bottom line. It's useless for me to keep all those things. If we come across any good ones later, we can leave a few for our grandparents and uncle to appreciate."

She doesn't know how to appreciate antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, except for the beautiful ones, of course.

"Oh, and save the really good ones for me."

"clear!"

The system nodded quickly. Its host's obsession with good looks wasn't with humans, but rather with objects. In her words, she couldn't take home good-looking humans, and they might not even be as good-looking as her, but she could take things.

After the system finished speaking, it didn't wait for Bai Nuo and flew directly to the temporary warehouse. At the same time, Bai Nuo granted the small system access to the warehouse, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to enter.

When Bai Nuo finished washing the lunchbox and was about to put it back in the granary, she suddenly heard the system exclaim in surprise.

"Host, come and see!"
