Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1093 - 531: Master Level of Dough_2

It's like how humans can't see microorganisms with the naked eye, and because they can't see them, they assume they don't exist. But then suddenly, someone hands you a microscope and points to the lens, saying, look, see that thing that's moving? That's a microorganism.

At that moment, you may not immediately grasp all the knowledge about microorganisms from nine years of compulsory education, but you know that microorganisms exist in the world. Although you still don't understand many precise things, suddenly many things related to microorganisms that you didn't understand before now have answers.

Qin Huai is in this state.

The Master Level in yeast and the Master Level in seasoning are different.

Seasoning relies more on taste, and Qin Huai naturally has an excellent sense of taste, so his talent for seasoning is extraordinary. At the moment of achieving Master Level in seasoning, Qin Huai seemed like a lucky Long Aotian protagonist who was imbued with skills and simultaneously taught mental techniques. He suddenly understood many things, experiencing a kind of joyful enlightenment.

The Master Level of Dough brought more confusion to Qin Huai.

He knew about microorganisms, but hadn't started reading the textbooks. Not only did he not know the answers to many things, he found even more questions instead.

So now the question is, does Qin Huai have a textbook?

Yes.

Friends with good memories may still remember, among the many recipes Qin Huai figured out, there was one recipe that he couldn't understand.

Locust flower buns.

Buns are clearly the simplest pastry, perhaps the simplest of all. They're the most common, the cheapest in the breakfast shop, and when Qin Huai was in elementary school, the buns at Qin Family Breakfast Shop were even sold for three cents each, truly the epitome of good value for money.

But this basic kind of pastry, just by adding two words "locust flower" to its name, and being made by the Master Jiang Chengde, became a recipe Qin Huai couldn't understand, not even with the video tutorial.

Moreover, it was the kind of not understanding where he didn't know why he didn't understand, he just didn't.

When Qin Huai watched Jiang Chengde's video tutorial on making locust flower buns, he thought Jiang Chengde was doing this and that and so on, just very normal actions, but the movements flowed smoothly like running water, with no flaws, and the dough underwent an incredible change—a perfect locust flower bun was born.

Sometimes not understanding something isn't the scariest part, it's not knowing where you don't understand, because it feels like you don't understand anything.

So after Qin Huai realized his dough skills seemed Master Level, and decided to have wontons for breakfast the next day, his second reaction was to mentally review the locust flower bun tutorial video.

Qin Huai rarely watched the locust flower bun tutorial video, but not never, just rarely. People can be stubborn, even if they don't understand, they'll still watch it. Qin Huai just wanted to know why he couldn't even understand a tutorial video.

After watching it enough times, the tutorial video was engraved in his mind.

After mentally reviewing the tutorial video, Qin Huai realized he should first open up the game panel to confirm.

Qin Huai pressed one point in the void.

Sure enough, his dough skills just stepped into the Master Level.

Dough (Master Level): Your dough-making skills have stepped into the threshold of a top chef. (0/1000000)

The Master Level has just stepped into the threshold, Qin Huai could only say that this game system has quite high standards for top pastry chefs. But compared to the Master Level in Filling next door, where it states that your filling skills have defeated 98% of the excellent pastry chefs nationwide, the Master Level in Dough still holds considerable value.

Thinking about it makes sense, seasoning is seasoning, in the culinary world, especially among those who can be called excellent chefs, whether it's meat cooking or pastry, they are mostly prodigies.

The primary prerequisite for these prodigies is having an excellent sense of taste, very few chefs have high skills but lack a good palate. Like Tan Wei'an's family, which has been in the culinary trade for generations, as long as they intend for their descendants to inherit the family's craft, their palate is nurtured from a young age.

Soup-soaked rice, eating well, it's no joke.

The palate is so important to a chef, essentially having a good palate means the level of seasoning won't be poor, thus the level of seasoning among chefs is generally very high, few chefs consider seasoning their weak point.

But dough is different, dough is indeed the most important basic skill in pastry, but it's limited to pastry. And the scope covered by the game system's dough is very broad, theoretically this fundamental skill should be solidly built, the more solid the better, but how solidly it should be built, whether it needs to reach Master Level, depends on the chef's personal development.

Qin Huai knows that following the normal process, he should quickly make a highly valuable pastry to see if the Master Level of Dough can produce a pastry just like in Master of Chinese Cuisine, where unveiling the steamer reveals golden brilliance and the Great Wall soundtrack plays.

But that's the normal process, and Qin Huai doesn't really want to follow the normal process now.

He wants to further investigate the locust flower bun tutorial video, Qin Huai now thinks the locust flower bun tutorial video isn't just an ordinary tutorial video anymore, it might be a high-level textbook prepared early by the game system, which he never understood due to lack of ability. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The dough tutorial from the Master Jiang Chengde.

"Youyou." Qin Huai called An Youyou, who immediately put down her work and trotted over to Qin Huai.

"Master Qin, is there something wrong with the meat filling I minced?" An Youyou was a bit nervous.
