Chapter 274 Big Improvement

May 10, 1953.

Zhang Lan was successfully promoted to senior fitter.

The time taken was less than half of what it took Yi Zhonghai to be promoted from an intermediate fitter to a senior fitter.

The salary increased from more than 50 yuan to more than 60 yuan.

When Wang Jianye learned the good news, he bought a bunch of vegetables and cooked a large table of delicious food to celebrate.

Every time at this time, the greedy Wang Jianwu is the happiest. I eat so much that I don’t even have time to say a word.

The others were not like Wang Jianwu. Instead, they congratulated Zhang Lan while eating, which made Zhang Lan very happy.

"Isn't today Mother's Day?"

Wang Jianting suddenly brought up this matter.

She had gained a lot of knowledge and broadened her horizons at university and knew about this festival.

Except for Wang Jianye, Zhang Lan, Wang Jiannan, Wang Jianwen and Wang Jianwu were all confused.

Mother's Day in the modern sense originated in the United States. In 1914, the United States designated the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day.

Mother's Day in China was introduced to the mainland after it became popular in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and was gradually accepted by the public in the 1980s.

After Wang Jianting's explanation, the caring little cotton-padded jacket Wang Jiannan wished Zhang Lan a happy Mother's Day.

Afterwards, Wang Jianwen and others also sent their sincere blessings.

Wang Jianting held Zhang Lan's arm and said sweetly, "Mom, I love you."

This made Zhang Lan happy, but also a little shy: "Hey, let's eat."

……

After eating and drinking, Wang Jianye rested at home for a while, and Yi Zhonghai came and knocked on the door.

"Uncle, what's the matter with you?"

"There is one thing I really want to know, which is..."

Yi Zhonghai expressed his doubts.

He couldn't understand why Wang Jianye's family seemed to have become smarter in the past six months.

For those who are in school, their academic performance has improved by leaps and bounds, and for those who are fitters, their skills have also greatly improved.

As for those who cook, their progress is even more rapid and they have all become chefs for state banquets.

Is there really a secret?
Wang Jianye answered perfunctorily.

There is no secret in this world. He just uses the time others spend drinking tea to cook.

As for his poor student brother? He just used the time others spent on throwing sandbags, playing hide-and-seek, and skating to study.

Yi Zhonghai came with doubts, reluctantly believed Wang Jianye's words, and left the backyard.

"After I finish making these dishes for lunch, I can upgrade the system again."

After Yi Zhonghai left, Wang Jianye sat down again and opened his personal panel.

[Experience value: 18200]

【Recipe: 101】

【厨艺：传说级（10道）、国宴级（120道）、大厨级（0道）、头灶级（0道）、二灶级（0道）、三灶级（0道）……】

【…】

[Note: The next upgrade condition of this system: master 300 dishes of state banquet level.]

"18200 experience points. This is what I have accumulated over the past three months."

"I now have 120 state-banquet-level dishes under my belt, and I need another 180 dishes before the next system upgrade."

"The dishes at Fengze Garden are also mainstream Shandong cuisine. I have basically upgraded them to the state banquet level."

"If I want to improve now, I can only look for other cuisines." Wang Jianye took out a menu from his pocket. It was the menu he collected from several Sichuan restaurants including Tianfu Food House.

There are more than 200 dishes in total, including all the mainstream Sichuan dishes.

"System, use the recipes to learn 101 dishes such as Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor, Mapo Tofu, and Boiled Chinese Cabbage."

[Ding, the recipe was used successfully. Congratulations to the host for mastering Fish-flavored Shredded Pork (Entry Level 1+)] *101
As the system prompt sounded in his mind for the 101st time, Wang Jianye instantly mastered the entry-level cooking methods of these dishes.

"System, upgrade these 101 dishes to the state banquet level!"

[Ding, Fish-flavored Shredded Pork (Entry Level 1+) has been upgraded successfully after spending 99 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering Fish-flavored Shredded Pork (State Banquet Level 100+).]*101
[Ding, get a recipe. ]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the probability of triggering special effects. The number of times can be increased by +101]

After consuming 9999 experience points, Wang Jianye instantly upgraded these 101 Sichuan dishes to the level of a state banquet.

Many chefs who have been cooking Sichuan cuisine for more than ten years may not be as good as him.

"It's not over yet."

"System, give me the recipe again, so I can learn these... 79 dishes."

Wang Jianye picked up the menu and read out the words one by one in his mind.

[Ding, the recipe was used successfully, congratulations to the host for mastering a certain dish (entry level 1+)] *79
"System, upgrade these 101 dishes to the state banquet level!"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the probability of triggering special effects. The number of times can be increased by +79]

Another 7821 experience points were consumed.

Wang Jianye looked at his personal panel again.

[Experience value: 380]

【Recipe: 79】

【厨艺：传说级（10道）、国宴级（300道）、大厨级（0道）、头灶级（0道）、二灶级（0道）、三灶级（0道）……】

[Special effects that can be triggered by state banquet-level dishes: Increase lifespan by one day (1), increase IQ by one point (0.23), increase strength by one pound (0.01), increase concentration time by one minute (0.01)]

【…】

"System, give me these 200 special effects that can be upgraded after [Increase IQ] is maxed out.
Add it to [add one minute of concentration time], and the extra will be added to [add one pound of strength]. "

Following Wang Jianye's thought.

Among the special effects that can be triggered by state banquet-level dishes, the trigger probability of [Increase IQ] has been increased from 0.23 to 1, which means it is % triggered.

The triggering probability of [Add one minute to the concentration time] has also increased from 0.01 to 1, which is also % triggering.

Finally, the extra times that can be upgraded are added to the special effect of [Add one pound of strength].

The trigger probability increased from 0.01 to 0.24.

At this point, Wang Jianye looked at the special effects column on his personal panel again.

[Special effects that can be triggered by state banquet-level dishes: Increase lifespan by one day (1), increase IQ by one point (1), increase strength by one pound (0.24), increase concentration time by one minute (1)]

"Now, every time I cook a dish of state banquet quality, I can 100% trigger the three special effects of [increase lifespan by one day], [increase IQ by one point], and [increase concentration time by one minute]."

"And the remaining [Strength plus one pound] is also 0.24, which means the probability of it being triggered is close to one in four..."

"The first attribute that reaches the limit of human beings should be IQ. After all, the upper limit of this thing is only 150."

"For a person with an average IQ of only about 80 points, eating 70 dishes is enough to raise his IQ to the human limit."

Wang Jianye was pondering.

He can mass-produce geniuses.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for mastering 300 state-banquet-level dishes. This meets the system upgrade conditions. System, upgrade! ]
