Chapter 11 - Eloquence bonus

Yan Duo first checked the new tasks. The first task was to return a wallet lost by a passerby, with a reward of 30 money and 30 experience points, and a random prop.

 Good luck, this is the first time Yan Duo has seen a mission to give away random props, but this mission seems too unreliable. Where can you find someone who has lost his wallet?

 The second task is to use identification skills to identify 10 different flowers, and the reward is 15 points of money and experience.

 The third task is to buy 1 piece of any product in the grocery store, and you will be rewarded with 30 experience points and 50 money points.

 Yan Duo checked the grocery store and found to his dismay that only three items had been refreshed today, among which the delicious steamed buns still ranked first! Today's price has actually increased to 20 gold coins, and the additional attribute is that the anti-virus ability will increase by 30 points within a day...

 She can consider taking it for a few days during the flu...

 The second product is actually something called passion jelly, which sells for only 50 gold coins. The person who eats it is as energetic and passionate as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood within a day.

 The third item turned out to be an underwear temperature control patch worth 10,000 gold coins. It was said that when attached to underwear, it could maintain the optimum temperature around the body in any season.

 It is indeed a good thing, but the price... Yan Duo was speechless and choked, thinking that if it didn't work, he might as well just buy a jelly or a steamed bun, and at least he could earn some experience.

 After checking that it was almost ten o'clock, Yan Duo packed up, put the game console in his bag, and went to his grandma's house under an umbrella.

 Along the way, Yan Duo used the identification technique whenever he saw a flowering plant, and soon the task progress reached 8 times. However, there were not many wild flowers along the way, and he could not complete the last two times.

 Soon we arrived at the community where my grandma's house was located.

 Yan Duo was standing by the flower bed downstairs at her grandma's house. She heard her aunt's high-pitched voice like a duck in the distance, and she suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.

 I have a psychological shadow on my aunt Yan Duo. Every time I spend a day with her under the same roof, Yan Duo will have the illusion of being temporarily deaf.

 Having a loud voice is not the point. My aunt's words are particularly harsh and she specializes in picking out things that others don't want to hear. She has to tell her about Yan Duo being fat several times every time she meets her.

 There was no way to escape. Yan Duo finally went upstairs, pushed open the ajar door, and saw his grandma, parents, and aunt sitting around the living room talking. To be precise, a group of people were listening to the aunt... …

 Sure enough, when the aunt saw Yan Duo, she immediately smiled and said: "Duoduo is here. Your brother has to make up for classes during the summer vacation. I won't come to play with you today. You can play by yourself! Huh? Is Duoduo getting fat again? She needs to eat less. Order some meat!"

 Grandma immediately interrupted her: "Nonsense, how can you eat less meat when you are growing taller? Don't listen to her, Duoduo, eat more later."

 Yan Duo quickly said hello to her grandma and aunt, and then ran away. Then he complained in his heart that his cousin was just a stuffy person. When did he play with his sisters? As for the common sense level that aunt still thinks that eating meat is the only way to gain weight, Yan Duo no longer knew what to say.

 The sound of the range hood in the kitchen was booming. Yan Duo looked over and saw that it was his uncle who was cooking. He was shocked. This person hated going to the kitchen the most. In his previous life, everyone complained about his uncle's occasional visits to the kitchen. Later, He no longer showed enthusiasm for cooking.

 When the uncle saw Yan Duo, he smiled and said, "Here we come!"

 "Hello uncle, aunt and Ruirui are not here?"

 "If they don't come, it's okay to come on such a hot day. I told them not to come."

 "oh."

 The younger uncle has the highest level of education among the three siblings. He is an undergraduate. Although he was self-taught later, he is much better at handling people and things than his aunt. He lowered his head and secretly said to Yan Duo: "I just learned to cook. If a meal doesn't taste good, I will still say it tastes good. Please don't discredit me, haha."

 "One word." So among the elders, Yan Duo likes his uncle the most.

 Seeing a piece of broccoli in the kitchen that had not yet been cut, Yan Duo used her identification skills and remembered that broccoli is also a flower.

 Grandpa was smoking on the balcony. As soon as he finished smoking, he saw Yan Duo coming over. He waved quickly: "Come on, come on, look at the cockscombs blooming."

 "Oh, it's really blooming." Yan Duo hurried over to take a look and was very pleasantly surprised. She had asked when the flower would bloom last year.

 After looking at it for a while and touching it twice, Yan Duo found that there were a lot more flowers on the balcony. Grandpa pointed to the shed he had just built and said it was all for these flowers. However, it has been too hot recently, so he still has to remove the flowers frequently. Everyone needs to move in, otherwise it will be too hot.

 My grandpa is a good old man. Whenever someone comes to the house, he will hide on the balcony and smoke. Unfortunately, he has been a smoker for decades and cannot quit despite his efforts for many years.

 After chatting with grandpa for a few words and reporting the test results again, the grandfather and grandson returned to the house together.

 By the way, I identified the cockscombs and estimated that the task should be completed.

 Yan Duo wished that there were tools for quitting smoking in the game, but he didn't know if people other than players could use them.

 It was still early before dinner time. Yan Duo was sitting in the study by herself. The adults were chatting in the living room. The study was a place where children usually gathered. She was the only one today.

 Grandma's house is really boring. The TV is in the living room, there is no computer, and the books are all big and hard to read. Grandma is very frugal, and she doesn't bother to turn on the air conditioner, and only turns it on at 30 degrees. The old people thought the temperature was just right, but the young people were too hot to say anything.

 While no one was paying attention to her, Yan Duo took the opportunity to play the game.

 The task of appraising the flowers was indeed completed, but the other two tasks were still far away. The task of purchasing goods made Yan Duo very entangled. She didn't want any of the two items she could afford, and she couldn't afford the ones she wanted, so she had to put them on hold. .

 After thinking about what else he had to do, Yan Duo went to the church to take a look.

 The three options that appeared after selecting "Pray" today were all garbled characters. Yan Duo was speechless and had to choose one at random.

 System: You chose to pray to *&;**¥#%&@@. You feel refreshed and your eloquence increases by 20, which is valid until 24 o'clock.

 eloquence! This property is great! Yan Duo immediately became excited and wanted to find someone to test on the spot, but found that no one could talk to her. I tried to rehearse it in my mind, but it felt like nothing had changed, so I had to ignore it for now.

 He talked to three NPCs again, and the conversation was indeed the same as yesterday, but Yan Duo thought that since this option was given, it would definitely not be useless at all.

 After thinking about it, she reported the problem of garbled characters in the church as a game bug. She didn't know if the game company would really receive it.

 There was really nothing to play in the game, so Yan Duo simply went to the kitchen to help his uncle cook.

 My uncle was a newbie on the road, and he was really in a hurry. There were still a lot of vegetables that hadn't been cut yet. He didn't know why he was allowed to work alone in the kitchen today. When Yan Duo said she wanted to help, she was moved and said, "Duo Duo still knows how hard uncle is suffering!"

 As expected, my uncle is not the kind of person who would fight to save the face of adults without the help of children...

 So Yan Duo helped with the dishes, and finally fried a piece of broccoli and a shrimp fried in oil. In the middle of the work, my mother ran over and took a look. Her expression was a little weird. She probably felt that my uncle was already unreliable enough, and now he was not reliable enough. If you add an even more unreliable girl, can you still have lunch?

 Grandma came over several times and kept saying: "Duoduo, please leave your uncle alone, he has to show off."

 To be honest, Yan Duo saw that his uncle's cooking techniques were quite proficient. He must have practiced at home and it was not as bad as they thought.

 When it was almost 12:30, the dishes were finally served, and the family sat around the dining table with great interest. The uncle kept introducing what kind of dish this was and what kind of dish it was, feeling a little nervous about waiting for a trial.

 Only then did Yan Duo know that next week is his grandfather's 70th birthday, and his aunt and uncle came here to discuss arrangements for the birthday. Speaking of which, whether before her rebirth or now, she didn't know when her grandpa and grandma's birthdays were, and she felt a little ashamed.

 Because she still remembered that her uncle had asked her to support her in advance, Yan Duo hurriedly took a few bites, and then pretended to be surprised and said: "Uncle, just fool us. You said you just learned how to cook, and the taste is just like ours." The food in a small restaurant is about the same, so you can just recruit it and practice secretly at home for a few years. "

 "I only went back to the kitchen last month! If you don't believe me, ask your aunt." My uncle was also an Oscar-level person. He looked sad and angry, as if he had really been wronged.

 The whole family was laughing and waiting to watch the fun, but when Yan Duo interrupted them, they all started praising their uncle for his cooking. Maybe he was really a genius, but they all depended on him during the Chinese New Year...

 Even the aunt who loves to expose people's shortcomings reluctantly said: "It's okay."

 When his uncle's cooking was recognized, he was happy and did not forget the great hero. He kept praising Yan Duo for his knife skills, which was much better than him, and the two dishes he cooked were also better than him.

 Grandma nodded: "Duoduo did a good job."

 Seeing their daughter being praised, Yan Jianjun and Gu Liping also smiled and said a few words of modesty.

 At this time, the aunt interjected again at an inappropriate time: "I heard that Duoduo wants to learn to cook. This is a good thing. Girls should learn to cook well, and it will be easier to find a partner in the future. Unlike my family, where Shucheng is a boy. It doesn't matter whether you learn to cook or not. However, long-term exposure to cooking fumes can make people gain weight and get acne easily, but you have to be careful when it comes to skin. I find it strange that Shucheng's skin is very good and he can't get tan no matter how hard he is exposed to the sun. , My grandson is just like me, why is this child so good-looking? "

 Yan Duo almost coughed up the scrambled eggs on the table. She had discovered long ago that the reason why her aunt likes to expose people's shortcomings is actually to show off the good qualities of her husband and children.

 When talking about the shortcomings of other people's children, in less than three sentences, they will definitely focus on her son, and then talk about how her son is good. When you talk about how bad someone's husband is, it's also just to praise your uncle's many advantages in a roundabout way.

 Yan Jianjun's face darkened on the spot, but he couldn't say anything in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

 Gu Liping couldn't say anything unpleasant, and this sister had suppressed her since she was a child. She had never been able to defeat her, so she could only say expressionlessly: "Duoduo is still young, so you can't find a partner when you are looking for someone. It's too early."

 "It's getting late. Now it's time to learn more, get more capital, and find a partner a little easier. Otherwise, it will be too late for Duoduo to be in this situation."

 What is this situation...what is my situation?

 Uncle suddenly put down his chopsticks and was about to speak, but Yan Duo beat him to it.

 Yan Duo said with a smile: "Auntie, your ideas are outdated a long time ago. Who said boys don't need to learn to cook these days? Eight out of ten boys can cook now, but not one of the dozens of girls can cook. "Cooking."

 "Ah?" The aunt picked up a piece of pork ribs and opened her mouth in shock.

 Yan Duo continued: "Nowadays, the ratio of men to women is imbalanced. Every year, tens of millions of men in China cannot find a wife. It has never been said that women cannot find a partner. Men these days are doing their best to find a partner. They have a house and a wife." I can't even drive a car, I still need to be able to work in the hall and in the kitchen, I'm proficient in all housework, and I can have some romance when I have nothing to do. I just browsed on the Internet and found out the three obediences and four virtues of men. Now, do you want to call a woman the three obediences and four virtues? Hurry up and ask my brother to learn all the housework, so that it will be easier to find a partner, otherwise it will be too late for my brother's situation.
