Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations

“Mister, you are mistaken. I just found this when I went up the mountain. Everyone here can testify for me,” Li Chengqian said resolutely.

“Moreover, this is not an imported type. This is grown here in our country.” Li Chengqian picked up a truffle and placed it in front of Huang Daliang, pointing at the yellow dots on the cap.

Huang Daliang took a closer look and indeed found characteristics typical of white truffles unique to China. “Not bad! But this cap...”

“It’s just a little bigger. What’s so strange about that?” Li Chengqian interjected. If he allowed him to continue, he would be exposed.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, we have to continue preparing the ingredients.” Li Chengqian didn’t give Huang Daliang a chance to speak at all.

He was telling him directly and indirectly: Go away, you’re not welcome here.

“Little brother, since you picked up this truffle from the mountain, how about you sell it to me?” Not only did Huang Daliang not leave, he even deliberately walked closer and said to Li Chengqian with a smile.

“Not selling, not selling!” Li Chengqian rejected Huang Daliang’s proposal without even thinking.

He took the risk of using the Farmer profession skills to grow these precious ingredients. They are meant for his parents’ consumption, and not for sale.

Moreover, with the Master of All Professions game, earning money would be a breeze after he took on a worker-related profession. Therefore, after Li Chengqian was reborn, he had never bothered himself with money.

As long as he upgraded his profession step by step, he would have an endless supply of money in the future.

“10,000 yuan per catty! Sell it all to me!” Huang Daliang bidded directly.

“Hiss...” Huang Jingjing and Jian Qingli, who were standing not far away, heard this. Their eyes were popping out as they sucked in a breath of cold air.

Ding Ling put down the fist-sized truffle in her hand carefully.

“I said I’m not selling. No matter how much you offer, I’m not selling,” Li Chengqian said with displeasure.

“Ding Ling, ignore him. Continue to prepare the ingredients according to my instructions! I picked this up from the mountain. It didn’t cost a single cent!”

“Li Chengqian, this is too valuable. I can’t handle it well.” Ding Ling said softly.

“Little brother, I’m Huang Daliang, the chef of Tianyi Daliang Restaurant. I have experience in handling white truffles. Why don’t I help you handle it? What do you think?” Huang Daliang continued to say.

“I don’t have any other motives. It’s mainly because when I see such good ingredients, I really can’t help but want to get involved.” Huang Daliang was all smiles. Seeing that Li Chengqian didn’t object, he took over the position where Ding Ling was standing.

He picked up the paring knife and twirled it skilfully around the white truffle. Instantly, a thin layer of almost transparent skin was shaved off.

If it was in his shop, this layer of skin alone was enough for a portion of ruffle rice. He couldn’t even bear to throw it away.

After Huang Daliang dealt with the ingredients at an extremely fast speed, he looked at the condiment box that Li Chengqian’s family had brought and frowned. Firstly, it was ordinary, and secondly, there was too little variety. It was only good enough for preparing ordinary food. But If it was used to prepare truffles, it was simply blasphemous!

“Little brother, the condiments you brought are too little. I’ll get my people to bring over the condiments we need.” Seeing Li Chengqian nod his head, Huang Daliang was ecstatic.

“Xiao Wang, drive our car over and bring our seasoning to me. Then, put my portion of food here. You can take the rest to other places to barbecue.”

Then, an entire shelf of seasoning was taken down from the car. Right on the heels of that, under Huang Daliang’s command, a total of five Australian lobsters, three catties of snowflake beef, and all kinds of side dishes were taken down by him.

Every ingredient was a rare treat.

“Little brother, I’ll eat with all of you. What do you think?” Huang Daliang smiled kindly.

One does not slap a smiling person. Not only did Huang Daliang contribute his effort, he also contributed other precious ingredients. In addition, he was extremely thick-skinned.

Li Chengqian really couldn’t bring himself to reject him. “Alright!”

When Huang Daliang heard this, he was over the moon and smiled like a child.

Huang Jingjing, who had been standing at the side, looked terribly upset.

She took the initiative to welcome Huang Daliang, but he didn’t even bother to talk to her.

But he was fawning over Li Chengqian.

In that case, what was she?!

Li Tianlan and Chen Li returned very quickly. After knowing what had happened, they said, “Son, your luck is really good!”

“Chef Huang, what’s this thing my son found? It’s called white truffles, right? It costs more than 10,000 yuan a catty, right?” Glancing at Huang Jingjing, Chen Li felt especially vindicated and deliberately asked loudly.

“That’s right!” Huang Daliang answered honestly.

“How’s the nutritional value? How’s it compared to Australian lobster and Kobe beef?” Chen Li asked deliberately. She had deliberately said it for Huang Jingjing’s ears. She had not forgotten a single word Huang Jingjing had said in front of her.

She was not a saint. She would remember being mocked and despised!

“White truffles are the best! They’re better than anything else! Australian lobster and Kobe beef are subpar trash when compared to white truffles!”

“Oh, and what about the matsutake that my son found? How is it?” Chen Li looked at Huang Jingjing, whose expression had turned sour, and continued to speak happily.

“Top quality. If you want to buy it, it’s more than 1000 yuan per catty.” Huang Daliang looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. He realized that the ingredients Li Chengqian ‘found’ were all top quality.

He finally got it. These ingredients definitely couldn’t have been found on the mountain. There had to be another source, but Li Chengqian just didn’t want others to know.

“What about this dried bacteria?” Chen Li moved on to the next ingredient.

“This quality is at least 2,000 yuan per catty!” Huang Daliang said with absolute certainty.

Huang Jingjing listened to Chen Li and Huang Daliang’s conversation. She was no fool, so she could naturally tell that Chen Li was asking all these for her benefit.

She had just bragged to Chen Li just now about the Australian lobster and Kobe beef, and criticized the ingredients that Chen Li brought.

Instant karma.

Within just a few minutes, Chen Li had already retaliated using the same method.

Huang Jingjing was furious. Her face was contorted with rage, but she could only suppress it in her heart.

“What’s there to be proud of? He just got lucky. It’s not like he can find it every time!”

“Furthermore, this family has been poor all their lives. Their family background is not good to begin with. To think that they actually chose to eat this valuable ingredient that they had picked on the mountain instead of selling it. They deserve to be poor for the rest of their lives!” Huang Jingjing cursed in her heart.

...

“After eating this, their family can only eat pork ribs and pork belly for the rest of their lives!”

“And with my family’s financial strength, we can eat Australian lobster and Kobe beef as many times as we wish!” Thinking of this, the sense of superiority in Huang Jingjing’s heart returned. She felt high and mighty once again.

“Sister Huang, do you think my son is lucky or not? He actually found so many good things on a casual trip into the mountains,” Chen Li said with pride in her eyes as she looked over with a smile.

“It’s actually better than what you paid so much money for, Sister Huang! And it’s even more expensive. Just now, this chef said that while Australian lobster and Kobe beef are usually high class food, when compared to white truffles, they are subpar trash.”

Huang Jingjing’s expression turned really ugly. She could no longer maintain her high and mighty temperament.

She felt that not only was Chen Li calling Australian lobster trash, but she was in fact also taking the opportunity to say that she was trash!

What was even more infuriating was that she could not flare up yet!
