The second update is here, seeking recommendation tickets and favorites~~~

...

All three women raised no objections to the recipe, which pleased Qin Fang.

Sister Pan didn't care much, as she was just a meal-scrounger passerby, and her opinion could be disregarded. Naturally, she didn't bother to ask, and Qin Fang probably wouldn't have told her even if she had.

Xiao Muxue had witnessed the deal between Qin Fang and Mouse Qiang last night and had overheard Mouse Qiang sharing a secret sauce recipe with Qin Fang. Now, she assumed that the sudden deliciousness of Qin Fang's ramen must be due to that sauce.

As for Tang Feifei, she was a carefree young girl and Qin Fang's "girlfriend" as well as a business partner. Naturally, she was the happiest about Qin Fang's significant improvement. Moreover, Qin Fang had briefly mentioned the event while explaining last night's happenings.

Of course, she hadn't paid much attention at the time and only now thought of it, so it seemed only natural to her.

After pacifying the three women, Qin Fang watched them wolf down the ramen he had cooked, clearly delighted, especially with the sight of Tang Feifei and Xiao Muxue, the two beauties. Despite their lack of elegance, they exuded a wild charm of their own.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle~~

However, while Qin Fang was momentarily distracted, his own stomach growled, and he realized with glee that he had forgotten about his own breakfast in his joy.

"Another bowl..."

"I want one too!"

"Um... I'd like another bowl too, please!"

No sooner had he turned around than the three women behind him had already polished off their servings of ramen and were clamoring for more, almost causing Qin Fang to stumble and fall to the floor.

Sister Pan had a hearty appetite, which accounted for her plump figure. Qin Fang had therefore given her a larger portion, enough to fill even a big man to a good half full.

Tang Feifei had always strictly controlled her appetite to maintain her slender figure, never overeating. Qin Fang was accustomed to this and had already mastered the precise portion size for her meals.

Qin Fang didn't actually know how much Xiao Muxue typically ate, but judging by her figure, which was slightly fuller than Tang Feifei's but not by much, he had given her roughly the same amount as Tang Feifei.

The result, however, took Qin Fang by surprise; not only had the three women finished their ample portions, but they actually wanted another bowl...

"Um... are you sure?"

To ensure he hadn't misheard, Qin Fang asked again with puzzlement.

"Hurry up!"

The three women shouted in unison, and Qin Fang had no choice but to run back to the kitchen with his stomach still growling to prepare more ramen.

In a short while, three more bowls of ramen were ready. The servings were nearly the same as before, but Qin Fang figured this should be enough to fill the three women completely.

This time, Qin Fang didn't just stand around watching others eat. After serving the three bowls of ramen, he hurried back to cook a large bowl for himself, with a generous portion, and he particularly noted the attributes of this batch of ramen.

"Delicious ramen, savory flavor, exquisite blending, your cooking skills have improved..." The first thing he saw was this evaluation, which was much better than the previous one for "simply made ramen."

Looking further at the specific data attributes: "Savory ramen, consuming increases Life Points by four, adds 30% to stamina, happiness level +10%."

The initial attributes were not much different from before, but now there was an additional happiness level +10%, which was more than double that of the happiness level from Uncle Wang's special soup dumplings, which were indeed much tastier than ordinary dumplings.

"Looks like our ramen business will thrive no matter what!"

With such validation, Qin Fang naturally thought first of his business prospects. While his ramen had always been good, the sauce was pretty ordinary, which is why he had been so interested in Mouse Qiang's recipe.

Qin Fang hadn't expected that before he had the chance to study the recipe, his mainline skill would evolve, bringing an attribute of Deliciousness +5, which instantly boosted his ramen skills to a new level.

Seeing the performance of the three women, Qin Fang didn't need to think to know that his business could only go higher.

"Should I give up going to college and just focus on the business?"

The thought of his mother who had worked hard for his sake popped into Qin Fang's mind, and he truly wished she could have some relief, "No! No way, my mom worked so hard for me, for me to have a better future! I can't let her down!"

Qin Fang quickly dismissed the idea.

What did a thriving ramen business matter? At most, it meant enlarging the business a bit, maybe opening a higher-grade noodle house, but that seemed like the limit. Did he really expect to make enough money to open a big hotel?

The reason his ramen was delicious was due to his improvable skill, which no one else had the capacity to match. Surely, he couldn't be expected to spend his life as a chef. That clearly wasn't his ambition.

"Skill, I need to learn more skills!"

Qin Fang was truly filled with anticipation for those unknown skills; he firmly believed he had the ability to make a lot of money, to give his mother a peaceful retirement without further hard work.

"Tsk tsk, the flavor really is quite amazing!"

As he tasted his first bowl of ramen, Qin Fang almost had the urge to swallow his tongue, luckily, he was still rather sensible.

When Qin Fang hurriedly finished off that big bowl of delicious ramen, the three women had just about managed to finish their second bowl, now holding their round bellies and grunting.

"I'm so full... Erp!!"

Needless to say, that was Sister Pan, as bold as ever, even her burp was stunning.

"I'm stuffed..."

That was Xiao Muxue, although full, she remained graceful.

"My diet plan... Qin Fang, you owe me, 55555..."

This, well, obviously was Tang Feifei, Qin Fang knew a little about her diet plan; clearly, she herself had ruined it completely today.

"Uh... ladies, I did ask you beforehand!"

Faced with three fierce glares, Qin Fang could only helplessly spread his hands and make a what-can-I-do expression.

"You're still talking... It's all your fault, all your fault! I'm going to punish you, I must punish you!"

The other two were fine, but Tang Feifei was the most agitated, blaming Qin Fang non-stop while she mulled over ways to punish him with a bitter smile. Suddenly her eyes lit up as they passed over an old, second-hand bicycle in the yard, an idea forming immediately, "Right, we won't take the car to Bai Yushan, you'll cycle me there..."

"Um... let's not!"

Hearing this punishment from Tang Feifei, Qin Fang's legs wobbled, and he spoke with some pleading in his face, inwardly wanting to shout, "Sister, it's at least twenty kilometers from here to Bai Yushan..."

"Nope, you have to cycle me there... Hehe, do you agree?"

Tang Feifei, very much the queen, dismissed Qin Fang's request with a wave of her hand and looked at him with a mischievous grin, like a cunning little fox.

"Fine, you're ruthless!"

In the end, under the tyrannical influence of Queen Tang Feifei, Qin Fang bit the bullet and agreed, though a smile crept up involuntarily when his gaze passed over the second-hand bicycle. Given that it was a small model, not very large at the back seat, whoever sat there would have to hold on to or hug the cyclist in front.

Obviously, Qin Fang would be the one cycling, and with Tang Feifei sitting behind... well, altogether it was a very happy affair.
