*System: All products can be rated. The 4 classifications you have access to right now are:

Trash Grade

Beginner Grade

Intermediate Grade

Pinnacle Grade

Each of these classifications can be broken down into Low, Medium and High Grade, creating 12 different qualities of products.*

At first, Ge Liang aimed for Intermediate Grade. Then he thought he'd settle for Beginner Grade. Now, at the end of his shift, he'd be overjoyed if even a Trash Medium-Grade rating came his way. However, now, with his Level 1 in Cooking, he could finally try! He put all of his effort into making these fries, and even put every condiment there was in the shop on just these fries!
