Having made up his mind, Yao Shi nodded: "Alright, Fu Yu, go ahead and give it a try."
[Ding! Assist NPC Chef Yao Shi in resolving this smoothly. Task reward: One of Yao Shi’s personal cooking techniques]
Fu Yu was a bit surprised.
This reward is quite special indeed.
It’s not just a personal skill, but a personal cooking technique!
You know, such cooking techniques are usually the ability that chefs acquire through years of learning, training, or work experience.
Now, just by completing the task, you can directly obtain one of Yao Shi’s personal cooking techniques.
That’s basically stealing a master’s skills!
And it’s an excellent skill to boot.
Fu Yu was instantly excited.
Now full of energy, having received Yao Shi’s approval, he imdiately headed confidently to the kitchen to make Longevity Peach.
Yao Shi called over the head waiter, arranged for a savvy and eloquent waiter to accompany Sun Mingze and his wife, and he also hurried to the kitchen.
The white case area and Red Case District of the music restaurant are separate places.
The area is smaller, but all kinds of cooking utensils are complete.
The white case staff had already left work.
Hearing that Fu Yu was going to make Longevity Peach, Zhang Zhen ca over to help turn on the lights.
With no outsiders around, Zhang Zhen asked: "Xiaofu, you know how to handle dough work too?"
Fu Yu smiled and said vaguely: "Yeah, I studied it before."
While washing his hands, Fu Yu hurriedly searched through the special family banquet recipes.
He first searched for Longevity Peach.
Whoa!
There are 1,300 pages.
If you flip through page by page, you’d probably finish by tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, the system is user-friendly and provided him with a search function.
First, he searched for [sweet, rose, longevity peach]
These three keywords.
The pages imdiately reduced to five.
Fu Yu flipped to the second page and saw a Longevity Peach identical to the sketch.
Seven exquisite little peaches placed in the bamboo stear, but the images in the special family banquet recipes are all in color, making the peaches look even more adorable and charming.
Moreover, this dish has an exclusive na: Peach Dumplings.
Fu Yu quickly skimd through the production process, and it was labeled as [simple] by the system.
With interdiate dough handling feel control and advanced personal skills in dessert baking, making a simple Longevity Peach shouldn’t be an issue.
As for whether desserts and white case can be applied interchangeably.
Fu Yu wasn’t sure about that.
But since both involve dough handling, there should be so connection, right?
When Yao Shi arrived, Fu Yu, with Zhang Zhen’s help, had already gathered all the kitchen utensils and ingredients needed.
Yao Shi asked with concern: "How’s it going, anything missing?"
Fu Yu smiled: "No, Chef Zhang found everything for ."
Yao Shi nodded: "Alright, go ahead and start. Let know if you need anything."
After saying that, he specifically added: "I’ve contacted Chef Ren, he’s on his way back, should be here soon."
Yao Shi was worried Fu Yu might get too nervous, affecting his performance, so he gave him a heads up to reassure him.
No matter how it turns out in the end, Ren Mingqing would help to tidy up, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Fu Yu heard the implication in Yao Shi’s words and felt warmth in his heart, nodding: "Mm, I understand."
Yao Shi and Zhang Zhen both worked in the Red Case District, and although they weren’t entirely clueless about the white case, they only knew so basic homade noodle dishes.
They truly didn’t know the first thing about pastries like Longevity Peach.
The two stood by, observing Fu Yu at work, acting as kitchen assistants.
Fu Yu began by strictly following the special family banquet recipe’s instructions, proceeding step by step.
He placed glutinous rice flour and japonica rice flour into a container.
Added sugar, red yeast rice powder, and 300 grams of water, mixing them well.
Fu Yu smoothly operated.
Zhang Zhen was dumbfounded watching beside him.
Doesn’t making dough require asurent scales?
Is he just freely mixing it all together?
Isn’t that a bit too casual?
And this mixing thod... The speed is quite fast, but using this manual whisk, isn’t it a little too...
Zhang Zhen held back but couldn’t resist, asking: "Don’t you need a dough mixer?"
Fu Yu paused his actions, looking up at Zhang Zhen: "?"
Zhang Zhen pointed to the electric mixer beside him: "Isn’t this a bit more convenient?"
Fu Yu was first taken aback but then realized, feeling a bit embarrassed he smiled: "Oh, I didn’t see it."
He hadn’t used any dough-related kitchen equipnt before.
And the special family banquet recipe only had specific thods, with no notes on the use of tools.
But Fu Yu definitely wouldn’t tell Zhang Zhen about this.
Moreover, the batter in the container was almost mixed.
There’s really no need to switch.
Fu Yu smiled at Zhang Zhen: "In my haste, I didn’t notice, thank you, Chef Zhang."
Zhang Zhen waved it off: "Hey, no need to be so polite with ."
Fu Yu continued with his actions, while deciding to thoroughly learn what kitchen tools are needed for dough work once he went back. Understanding necessary knowledge is always beneficial.
If he had the opportunity to properly study, it would be even better.
After all, having more skills doesn’t burden you.
Once the batter in the container was well-mixed, he directly placed it into the steaming barrel.
Stead over high heat for about 20 minutes.
While it was steaming, Fu Yu took the opportunity to search for another Longevity Peach recipe.
He eventually found an image of sothing called Eight-Filling Longevity Peach, identical to the sketch.
Fu Yu felt relieved, just about to act when Zhang Zhen suddenly asked: "Does this need soone to watch? Should I take over?"
Fu Yu had been focused on looking up cooking thods, which in Yao Shi and Zhang Zhen’s eyes, seed like he was watching the stear.
Zhang Zhen was always a flexible person and extrely perceptive.
Earlier in the VIP room, he listened to the custor talking to Fu Yu and understood.
The custor was actually referring to three different types of Longevity Peach, and the reception staff at the store had not fully understood before taking the order.
As a result, the Longevity Peach made didn’t et the requirents.
Seeing the ingredients Fu Yu had prepared, it seed he was planning to make all three types.
If watching the pot would delay ti, it wasn’t necessary.
Zhang Zhen recognized this, so he offered himself.
On one hand, he could perform in front of the boss.
On the other hand, he could gain Fu Yu’s favor.
It’s a win-win situation with no loss to himself.
Just watching the pot isn’t tiring.
Fu Yu indeed appreciated and said: "Then I’ll trouble you, Chef Zhang."
Actually, the steaming barrel didn’t need watching at all.
Fu Yu was very confident in his control over the heat.
But since Zhang Zhen kindly offered to help, he certainly wouldn’t refuse.
The interaction between people is like this.
Back and forth, helping each other, that’s how you slowly build relationships.
Though Fu Yu clearly understood Zhang Zhen’s character as soone shrewd.
But if a person is shrewd, it ans they have a good mind.
Dealing with smart people, although easy to get calculated, is actually easier to get along with as long as you pay attention most of the ti.
Fu Yu believed he wouldn’t touch upon Zhang Zhen’s interests at the mont, and since Zhang Zhen was willing to show goodwill, he naturally was happy to accept.
