Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1095 - 532: Major Breakthrough

After motivating Zhao Cheng'an, Qin Huai happily watched video tutorials for the whole morning.

The effect was very significant. Although Qin Huai hadn't made any snacks since he reached the Master Level of Dough, he felt the effect was remarkable. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At noon, Qin Huai didn't go to Yunzhong Restaurant to eat. Instead, he broke his usual routine by ordering a delivery, enjoying a hearty and extravagant meal of barbecued pork, white-cut chicken, and roast duck with his pig trotters rice.

After the meal, Qin Huai lay contentedly on the sofa for an hour, playing on his phone before leisurely heading to Yunzhong Restaurant.

Because Qin Huai had told An Youyou in the morning that he would be coming to work in the afternoon, the elderly folks did not give up on watching the restaurant even though Qin Huai skipped work for half a day. They sat around chatting in the restaurant when the customer flow wasn't high, creating the illusion for passersby that Yunzhong Restaurant was always packed and doing great business.

The arrival of Qin Huai stirred cheers from some elderly folks who were open with their emotions.

"Master Qin is here!"

"I told you, when Master Qin said he would come in the afternoon, he would come!"

"But what snacks can he make in just a few hours this afternoon?"

"It's great to have something to eat, and yet you're complaining? If you're not satisfied, don't buy it, go home, so I can buy more."

When An Youyou saw Qin Huai, she ran to report Zhao Cheng'an's situation to him immediately.

"Master Qin, you were right. Master Xiao Zhao acted like he was on something this morning and didn't rest all morning while making snacks! But the snacks he made today were a bit odd. Normally, Master Xiao Zhao makes pastries, but this morning he made lots of buns and steamed buns. They were just regular vegetarian buns, meat buns, and plain steamed buns. The first batch of steamed buns by Master Xiao Zhao was done almost after breakfast time and these buns and steamed buns only sold out by lunch time."

Qin Huai nodded to indicate he understood.

It was clear that Zhao Cheng'an was trying to explore the essence of Master Level of Dough but failed.

"Is Zhao Cheng'an in the kitchen now?" Qin Huai asked.

"Yes, Master Xiao Zhao is still making steamed buns."

"Alright, Youyou, you go finish your tasks first, then come to my side to watch me make the steamed buns," Qin Huai said.

An Youyou didn't understand why both Qin Huai and Zhao Cheng'an were so focused on steamed buns today, but she was thrilled. Steamed buns were the simplest snacks she knew, and she could make them herself.

An Youyou has been watching Qin Huai make breakfast every day, but she doesn't really understand much. The seasoning for Three Meat Buns and Five Fillings Bun is something she can't grasp at all.

This morning, Zhao Cheng'an made simple breakfasts all morning, and An Youyou watched with great interest. Now that Qin Huai was going to make steamed buns, too. Being diligent and eager to learn, striving for leaps in progress, promotion, salary increase, and eventually taking over Yunzhong Restaurant, An Youyou felt today was her lucky day.

Qin Huai went to the changing room to change clothes and then went into the back kitchen to make Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns.

Before kneading the dough, Qin Huai washed his hands three times. Don't ask why he washed three times, just ask and it's for the ritual.

Shi Dadan and Gong Liang, sitting by the small table, had already heard the news of Qin Huai reaching Master Level of Dough, and seeing him back at work, they were all curiously craning their necks to watch.

Cheng Gong was a bit more reserved, just watching without craning his neck.

Only Wang Gen Sheng seemed a bit confused, still tangled in his own issues: "I've already had breakfast and lunch today. If I had known Master Qin would come so early, I wouldn't have eaten lunch. What if I can't eat the potato dumplings later? Will Master Qin be upset?"

No one answered Wang Gen Sheng. Everyone just wanted to see Qin Huai show off.

At this moment, Qin Huai indeed had the demeanor of a show-off king.

Standing calmly in front of the culinary table, he gestured to An Youyou to stand closer so she wouldn't miss the view, and then he began to knead the dough with an expression of calm indifference.

Focused, smooth, and skillful.

Qin Huai has always been like this when seriously making snacks, and even the actions didn't change much, but the aura did.

It had a kind of I am redefining dough kneading today, aura of a big shot.

A vibe of I just do it casually, you just watch casually, not that I'm bragging, any random move today is a textbook demonstration move, if not, then there's a problem with the textbook, it needs to be altered, aura of a show-off king.

A vibe of watch closely, I'm about to show off, aura of a systematic novel male lead.

Zhao Cheng'an was dumbfounded.

Not bro, what's this? We are all pastry chefs. You think I don't know how we usually knead dough?

It's just... kneading dough, right?

What are you doing here? What are these movements? What expressions? What aura? Is having a system so amazing, that you can separate from the masses, ignore me, this spirit's fate?

Abusing Mayfly spirits, huh!

Zhao Cheng'an lamented in his heart.

No one cared about his lament.

The more Qin Huai kneaded the dough, the more he felt he was truly incredible at the moment.

This might sound a bit narcissistic, but Qin Huai genuinely felt that way. Master Level kneading and Advanced level kneading were two entirely different things. Qin Huai even felt the previous kneading wasn't really kneading, just pinching dough. Only when the level reached Master Level could one understand the true meaning of kneading dough.

The dough could truly have life, and chefs could truly communicate with the dough!

It's just uncertain whether the steamed buns will glow golden when steamed, if they do, then Master of Chinese Cuisine is a documentary.

Qin Huai appeared very focused, but in reality, his mind was wandering.

But others just felt Qin Huai was very focused, and his status and aura when kneading dough were different from before, which is the true strength of Master Level.
