Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1034 - 502: Coconut Trio

They've burned Gong Liang so badly; it's time to bring him out.

Qin Huai clicked open the illustration section, and Gong Liang's image section suddenly turned into this.

Name: Gong Liang 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Species: Scammer

Status: About to awaken

Memory: 3/3

Recipe: Crab Dumplings, Three Meat Buns, Four Happiness Glutinous Rice, Qianhua Gongdeng Bun, Stir Fried Cabbage and Meat, Coconut Mooncake, Papaya Cake, Coconut Jelly (Click to view details)

Gift: None

Qin Huai: ???

Qin Huai's first reaction upon seeing this illustration wasn't surprise that he had seen all of Gong Liang's memory, but rather that the Scammer really came to wholesale recipes. Three memories yielded eight recipes, a true gourmet indeed!

Qin Huai clicked on the recipe.

[Coconut Mooncake S-level]

Creator: Jinglixiang/Jiang Weijin

Dish Details: A mooncake made with fresh coconut flakes, perfect for the Mid-Autumn Festival. For the creator Jinglixiang, the dishes and snacks at the Mid-Autumn banquet marked the end of his career. The two bags of coconuts Gong Liang brought back from Qiong Province were a beautiful embellishment on this period. Even though the last time Jinglixiang handled fresh coconuts was in his youth working at Taifeng Building in Beiping with his father and brothers, and decades have passed, making the related skills rusty, the memories of his youth are the most beautiful and unforgettable for Jinglixiang. Even if the skills were rusty, the memories remained, and he could still make delicious coconut mooncakes with his best effort. If this dish is enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival with friends or family, one can taste the flavor of reunion, improve mood, and slightly increase appetite.

Friendly reminder, if Gong Liang eats this dish just out of the oven, it might have an unexpected surprise effect. (No need to worry about the level)

[Coconut Jelly A+ Level]

Creator: Jinglixiang/Jiang Weiming

Dish Details: This is a coconut snack Jinglixiang often made in his youth because his aunt Jiang Hui Qin especially loved it with a relatively mild taste. Jinglixiang would deliberately add less sugar to make a low-sugar version. To the creator, this is a snack loved by elders, and making it again after many years is for the younger generation, symbolizing the inheritance of taste and love. The less sugar used in this snack, the better the taste. Don't ask why; just know it's the result of Jinglixiang's painstaking research to satisfy his aunt's palate.

[Papaya Cake C+ Level]

Creator: Zheng Da

Recipe Details: Zheng Da attempted to blend in, to fake authenticity, so that his friend Gong Liang wouldn't recognize his craftsmanship and achieve his goal of showboating. Although Gong Liang indeed did not realize the papaya cake was made by Zheng Da, it was because his tongue got burned while eating the coconut mooncake, which dulled most of his tasting abilities for subsequent dishes and snacks, causing him to eat less during the Mid-Autumn Banquet. When using this dish, as long as the tongue is in a healthy state, it provides a cleansing effect, making the next dish taste purer and more delicious.

After reading the details of the three dishes, Qin Huai was speechless for a moment.

There were so many things to criticize that he didn't know where to start.

After reviewing these three dish details, Qin Huai regretted not paying enough attention to Gong Liang's status and expressions during the memory viewing, realizing now that Gong Liang's acting skills were indeed impressive.

How did he do it? Even though his tongue was burned, he managed to act exaggeratedly only during those short seconds after burning, and later pretended like nothing had happened.

No wonder he ate the coconut jelly so slowly afterward, only gobbling it up after a reminder from Master Jing. It turns out he was pretending since he couldn't taste anything.

Indeed, a master of life-like performance can make every moment a stage. When he was burned by the mooncake, he acted; just like at Luo Jun's house earlier, he could act too. Gong Liang and Luo Jun acted together for hours, everyone seeing Luo Jun acting, but Gong Liang's acting was so impeccable that no one noticed, not even the co-star Luo Jun, who thought he was the only one acting.

The Scammer is indeed terrifying.

Qin Huai remembered Luo Jun's expression before the shield incident.

Luckily, Gong Liang is waking up today; otherwise, given Luo Jun's temperament, everyone might have had to attend his funeral tomorrow.

Qin Huai can make coconut mooncakes, and he did today. There was still some coconut left in the kitchen, enough for the raw materials.

Qin Huai opened the video tutorial, deciding to watch the original tutorial first.

Although the friendly reminder said there's no need to focus on the level, Qin Huai can't just sloppily make a poorly cooked and unappetizing coconut mooncake to shove into Gong Liang's mouth; that would tarnish Master Qin's reputation.

Qin Huai carefully watched the video tutorial.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

How to put it, making coconut mooncakes isn't hard, but making S-Level coconut mooncakes is very challenging.

Jinglixiang used an old-style oven to make the coconut mooncakes, making the fire control extremely difficult, causing Qin Huai to sigh about how technology can sometimes be great; the oven is indeed a wonderful invention.

If there were no oven, with Qin Huai's fire control, he could never make S-level coconut mooncakes in his lifetime.

Even now, he still couldn't do it.

After watching the video tutorial three times in a row, Qin Huai roughly had a grasp of it.

The method Jinglixiang used to make coconut mooncakes wasn't much different from Qin Huai's. After all, coconut mooncakes aren't a high-skill difficulty snack; the making method is largely the same. It's just that Jinglixiang's attention to detail was better. Simply put, his basic skills were more solid, and his stats panel was higher.
