18. There is a wish to meet again in this life

Pei Niancheng sighed:

"Forget it, the gourmet system is the gourmet system. At least it is needed in places like Da Jing. On the surface, it doesn't seem to be of any obvious help to the country's construction, but if you develop the gourmet industry in Da Jing, I reckon it can start a wave of catering business."

"In the past twenty years or so, the food production in Da Jing has been very rich, and there has been no war. When I secretly went to the countryside of Jizhou to investigate last time, I could see that the people had saved a lot of property. The so-called people depend on food for their livelihood.My God, if Dajing's catering industry can develop, it can stimulate a lot of domestic demand..."

Pei Nianyu is used to his younger brother's three words of "development" and "construction", so he listened very perfunctorily:

"I don't think as much as you do. It would be great if I could eat normal food first... and then pass on those normal cooking methods, just let it be."

Pei Niancheng nodded and asked again:

"Then what is the operating status of your system?"

Pei Nianyu recounted those salted fish tasks to him.

He pondered for a while, and slowly guessed:

"It's almost as I imagined...Brother, let me tell you what I think. Since this golden finger is most likely transformed by the ancient gods, the reason why it is in the form of a 'system' is only because you and I subconsciously think that golden fingers areFingers are equal to the system, after all, there was no such thing as a system in ancient times."

"Then this means that this system is not the kind of system that truly transcends laws and is omnipotent. Its operation and the 'rewards' it provides you all need to follow the conservation of energy... let's call it energy for now..”

"Where does the energy come from? I tend to think that it is to collect the power of belief and transform it into energy that can be used by the system."

"—For example, my Eternal Mingjun system. With the help of the system, I do things that are in line with Mingjun, such as promoting policies that benefit the country, creating inventions that benefit the people, and balancing all forces to make the political situation stable and upward.Forget it. By doing this, you can collect 'Ming Jun Points', so that you can use Ming Jun Points to exchange for more things I need, or open up more functions."

"And your gourmet food system... probably relies on using food to conquer others and let others feel the power of food to collect the power of faith."

Pei Nianyu suddenly realized:

"I said, why did you come up with so many things in the first three years after you took the throne? So you are in a hurry to get energy... In other words, if you make these policies in such a hurry, will there really be no problems?"

Although he is not interested in Pei Niancheng's decision-making and will not interfere, he is very concerned about his brother's safety, and he does not want Pei Niancheng to lead to any irreversible situation because of his eagerness for success.

"Of course, I will decide whether to implement it or not after weighing it. The original intention of transforming this system is because I want to survive in that cruel environment. I am not stupid, and it is impossible to wholeheartedly benefit the people.And put yourself in it."

"Besides, before I make a decision, I have systematically assessed the risks. Brother, don't worry too much. If you can't even do this, then this golden finger is still useful."

"Well, Xiao Sheng, it's good that you know what's in your heart, so I won't say much."

However, afterward, Pei Niancheng showed a sly expression:

"However, brother, you don't have to be too discouraged about your system. It's only been activated for a day. After you accumulate more energy, you will definitely activate other functions. At that time, the energy will snowball and grow exponentially.gone."

Pei Nianyu was noncommittal:

"Actually... even if I don't have this system, it's not that I can't cook delicious food... I was a food blogger in my previous life..."

Pei Niancheng's eyes lit up instantly:

"It turns out that my brother is so powerful, you don't know. When I first came here, I really... couldn't bear the food here, but I didn't dare to show the slightest abnormality at that time, so I had to make do with it for more than ten years......"

Pei Nianyu was very puzzled:

"Then after you ascended the throne, didn't you try to make it yourself? You have made a lot of those inventions, so it doesn't matter if you are afraid of being exposed."

Pei Niancheng's expression was indescribable:

"...I don't know how to cook, I only put spinach in instant noodles..."

Pei Nianyu: "..."

"In my previous life, I was from a good family before university, and my major was computer science. After I started my own business, I couldn't care less about cooking...By the way, what did my brother study in his previous life?"

"Me, I grew up in an orphanage, so I can cook and everything, and then I majored in nutrition in university."

After hearing this sentence, Pei Niancheng suddenly got up and supported the table, and asked eagerly:

"... Orphanage?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Then did you have the same jade pendant in your previous life?"

Pei Nianyu was stunned:

"How do you know?! Could it be that..."

Pei Niancheng suddenly took a few heavy breaths, then stepped forward and hugged his brother into his arms:

"Brother... I'm sorry... In my previous life, my parents and I searched for you for a long time, but we couldn't find you..."

"...Hey Xiaosheng, hug me gently... you strangled me to death..."

Pei Nianyu's expression cracked, what kind of bloody plot is this...

"So, we were also brothers in our previous life?"

Pei Niancheng nodded heavily, his voice choked with sobs:

"Brother, do you know that my biggest grievance in my previous life was that I couldn't find my biological brother and wore it. In this life, I have been with you for more than ten years. You are so kind to me. I always thought it was fate.My gift has given me in this life what I could not enjoy in my previous life."

"During the period when you were in a coma, I was worried every day. I was afraid that an outsider would take over your body and would no longer recognize me as a younger brother. But I didn't expect... It was, it was... the biggest surprise.”

Pei Nianyu's mood was also a little complicated.

In his previous life, he longed for the family affection for more than twenty years, but unexpectedly, he reaped it in this life... It's a double share.

He patted Pei Niancheng on the shoulder lightly:

"Since that's the case, wouldn't that be great."

Pei Niancheng nodded, but suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, brother, that jade pendant is a pair of twin jade pendants, so after completing a certain task in my system, I rewarded a partial permission sharing function, provided that the other party has permission to access the port."

"Brother, your jade pendant hadn't been activated at that time, so I couldn't use this function. Now I can finally share it with you."

After speaking, he moved his eyes upwards, obviously operating his system. After a while, Pei Nianyu received a notification, indicating that he had successfully obtained the permission.

"Brother, what permissions are you showing there?"

Pei Nianyu took a closer look:

"Well... you can see the loyalty or friendship of the people around you. Xiaosheng, you are a family value of 100 to me."

Pei Niancheng nodded and told him how to use it:

"100 is the full value, which means that this person has a 0% chance of doing something unfavorable to himself. The same is true for loyalty, as long as it is a positive emotional classification."

"By the way, what about my loyalty to you?"

"Zero."

"..."

Pei Nianyu was taken aback: "How could it be zero?"

"The value of family affection is full. Brother, your loyalty to me was still 10 before time travel, and the degree of family affection was 100. After you crossed over... the loyalty has completely become zero."

"Uh……"

Obviously, it was because this soul from modern times erased the little difference between the status of monarch and minister.

"Xiao Sheng, you... don't you mind?"

Pei Niancheng looked at him quietly:

"Of course I don't mind. Brother, I have never regarded you as a courtier."

"……thanks."

After thinking about it, Pei Nianyu realized that if Pei Niancheng would mind this matter and take precautions against himself, then it would be impossible for the system to display a full value of 100.

Since Xiao Sheng dared to share this function with himself, it showed that he was really sincere to him.

……………………………

The topic was almost finished, Pei Nianyu looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and asked:

"Xiao Sheng, are you still going back to the palace?"

Pei Niancheng came here after the court was over, and it was time for lunch to talk.

However, Pei Niancheng's ass was sitting on the huanghuali Taishi chair without moving at all:

"Brother, look, it's time for dinner, don't you... mean?"

...It turns out that I have to rely on myself for food.

Pei Nianyu understood in seconds.

He folded his arms and looked at Pei Niancheng:

"What do you mean? What kind of meaning?"

"Hey, it's like this, brother, don't you want to upgrade your system quickly! Gain more energy, maybe some surprise features will be released in the future..."

Pei Nianyu was thoughtful:

"I think what you said is very reasonable... Well, you just wait here for a while, I'll go get something to eat, let's eat together."

Pei Niancheng's eyes flashed with joy:

"Okay, I don't know what my brother is going to show today?"

"The tofu ordered in the morning is fresh, let's use mapo tofu as a rice bowl. In addition, there is a boiled chicken soup, and a boiled cabbage for soup. Two classic Sichuan dishes."

Pei Niancheng naturally looked forward to it.

Needless to say, mapo tofu is not complicated.It's just that the original boiled cabbage soup has a lot of processes, but Pei Nianyu just made it simply at the moment, using the chicken soup that has been boiled, cooking the elbow, duck, and adding some mushrooms.

The soup hung for less than half an hour, and the rest was done, so he ordered someone to carry the things to the east wing of the Yuqing Room.

Pei Niancheng looked at the faint scent coming out of the wooden food box, and suddenly moved his index finger. He was about to lift the lid, but Pei Nianyu took his hand away.

"Wait a minute."

Pei Niancheng was confused: "Why?"

Pei Nianyu remained silent, looking aside, as if his thoughts were racing.

"All right."

Pei Niancheng quickly opened it.

Two bowls of mapo tofu rice bowl, one plate of boiled cabbage.

The rice bowl is filled with mapo tofu, the red tofu cubes are mixed with scattered minced meat, and the spicy and hot breath is like cheerful and beating notes, rushing to the nostrils impatiently.

The dark chili sauce trickled down slowly, permeating the snow-white rice, dyeing the crystal grains with a fresh fragrance.

The boiled cabbage placed aside does the opposite. The bean-green glazed lotus-patterned bowl is filled with light golden clear and bright soup, which is as calm and clear as a clear spring.

In the center of the bowl, there are more than a dozen fresh and tender cabbage hearts neatly stacked. The cabbage hearts turn from moist white to light yellow, and the soft and mellow broth is poured on the cabbage hearts, which is crystal clear.

Pei Niancheng was elated, and just about to pick up the chopsticks, but was held down again:

"……what happened again?"

Pei Nianyu stood still: "Wait a minute."

"Waiting for what??"

"Look first, for five minutes."

"I………………"

Pei Niancheng choked on his words, he was completely at a loss.

Reluctantly, he put down his chopsticks and began to focus his eyes on the two dishes with great difficulty.However……

"I can't do it, brother, you are simply torture!! Why didn't I know that you still have a hobby of shaking s?"

Pei Niancheng became anxious like an ant on a hot pot. What does it mean that this one is sure to eat?

"Well, you can eat it."

Pei Niancheng didn't care about his image anymore, and started to gobble it up.

However, Pei Nianyu didn't move his chopsticks. Instead, he looked at his system first, and showed a satisfied smile.

"As expected..."

Pei Niancheng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little bad in his heart:

"What really happened?"

Pei Nianyu laughed even happier:

"It's like this, didn't you just ask me to earn a lot of food value, so I did an experiment.

"I found that the anticipation mood before eating the food value is a coefficient. The higher the expectation, the higher the food value will be when the food is finally eaten."

"——Xiao Sheng, I have to thank you for contributing more than 2,000 food value to me. It's really flattering..."

Pei Niancheng: "?????"

The author has something to say:

Pei Niancheng: I suspect that the time travel god sent me a fake brother.
