Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1105 - 535: Video Tutorial_2
Qin Huai felt more and more that his idea was pretty good. After all, hasn't he often made progress by watching Jiang Chengde's video tutorials?
An Youyou also gladly accepted it.
If it were an ordinary worker, hearing the boss suggest working during office hours and improving oneself after work hours might've caused them to roll their eyes internally and curse the boss a thousand times.
But An Youyou genuinely wanted to improve.
She really wanted to improve, to savor the promises of future prospects, to get promotions and raises, and hopefully, one day, to buy the house she currently lives in outright.
An Youyou was very serious when filming videos, and the close-ups were quite clear. Moreover, she wasn't a complete novice; on the contrary, An Youyou had already gotten the hang of things. She knew which techniques were crucial when Qin Huai was making snacks, which required careful reflection and repeated study.
As a result, her videos unexpectedly turned out quite well.
With a bit of editing and added subtitles, they could be uploaded online as pastry tutorial courses selling for 5,800 a session. Those who bought the course would commend her for being such a conscientious teacher, teaching in such detail.
During his lunch break, Qin Huai kept watching the videos An Youyou had made. He thought they were genuinely good and was too lazy to edit them, so he directly sent the original videos to Cao Guixiang and Master Zhou.
These two were Qin Huai's mentors, and he wanted them to see his current level.
Recently, Qin Huai and Cao Guixiang hadn't communicated much. Strictly speaking, Cao Guixiang was considered Qin Huai's mentor in meat cooking. Apart from a period of diligently practicing fire control and knife skills, Qin Huai rarely practiced meat cooking. After all, he was a purely pastry chef and couldn't devote too much energy to meat cooking.
Most of the time, Qin Huai and Cao Guixiang's chats were about sharing daily life. Cao Guixiang was someone who loved sharing, from Zhang Chu not buying fresh groceries today to Zhang Zhiyun doing well in exams, to even sharing the new dish Cao Guixiang was experimenting with and asking Qin Huai for feedback.
However, Qin Huai didn't have much to share about his daily life. The most colorful part was his interactions with spirits, but sadly those couldn't be shared with the purely human Cao Guixiang. Removing those experiences, Qin Huai's daily life was quite dull, filled purely with making snacks and occasionally sharing them with Shi Dadan.
Now, with something fresh to share, Qin Huai naturally wanted to send it first to his dear Master Cao.
As for Master Zhou, since he didn't like chatting online, according to Zhao Cheng'an, Master Zhou was someone who didn't like using mobile phones. Zhao Cheng'an always suspected his dear mentor was allergic to phones.
It's said that back in the days before smartphones, Master Zhou would only answer calls but never hang up. If someone called him, they had to hang up first, leading to many funny situations.
Perhaps because of some psychological shadow, Master Zhou was extremely averse to phones, preferring face-to-face conversations. Knowing this, Zhao Cheng'an would routinely disappear when leaving, not sending messages or making calls, under the guise of respecting his mentor's preferences.
We could say that Master Zhou only allowed Zhao Cheng'an two weeks of vacation a year for a reason.
After sending the videos to his two mentors, about twenty minutes later, Cao Guixiang made a video call, and Qin Huai answered immediately.
In the video, wearing reading glasses, Cao Guixiang was knitting a sweater. The background showed a tidy and orderly living room, with Zhang Chu intensely watching TV on the other end of the couch. On the coffee table, there were two cups of tea and a small plate of melon seeds. Every part of the room visible from the camera was clean and neat.
"Xiao Qin, your skills have improved a lot, it's really rapid progress. In a few years, I might not be able to call you Xiao Qin anymore; I might have to respectfully call you Master Qin," teased Cao Guixiang.
Qin Huai felt a bit embarrassed by the compliment, lowering his head slightly, "Master, you taught me well, I just learned from you all."
"Still, Xiao Qin, you have a sweet tongue. If my Old Zhang talked as nice as you, I don't know how much happier my life would be," said Cao Guixiang, glancing at Zhang Chu, who quickly used the remote to lower the TV volume a bit.
"By the way, Xiao Qin, when are you planning to return to Qiu County?"
"Probably before the end of the year," Qin Huai said. "I'll be going back a bit earlier this year because my parents mentioned to me just yesterday how late I went home for the New Year last year, and they hope I'll be back before the minor New Year this time."
"Alright then, just let me know once you've set the date. Come to my house straight from the airport for dinner and bring your sister," laughed Cao Guixiang. "Is Old Shi with you?"
Qin Huai shifted the camera toward Shi Dadan, capturing him quietly eating snacks.
"Wow, Old Shi has gained quite a bit of weight. He seems to be so happy eating your snacks that he's forgotten everything else. Xiao Qin, you should keep an eye on him. He's not young anymore and shouldn't eat like this all the time. If he develops high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol, it'll be hard on him later."
Cao Guixiang rambled on, talking about some small daily matters, and concluded, "Alright then, I didn't have much else, just wanted to video call to check on Xiao Qin."
