~9 min read 1,627 words

There were only flowers, plants, and trees around, no people, so Qin Huai squatted down directly and clicked on the game panel to check the quest.

Side Quest:

1. 【The Taste of Memory】: Decades of time are just a flash for Bifang, but for humans, they are a distant past. Seeing Liu Tao's appearance has long been blurred in Luo Jun's memory, and no matter how like her the painter draws, it is difficult to make Luo Jun remember the appearance in his wife's memory. Luo Jun vaguely remembers that Seeing Liu Tao would make a kind of fruit-shaped pastry with a special taste for him, but he has long forgotten the style and taste of the fruit-shaped pastry. Please player make fruit-shaped pastries with the taste that matches Luo Jun's memory, and complete the taste he has forgotten.

Quest Reward: 【A segment of Luo Jun's memory】 (Choice: Yes/No)

Qin Huai wanted to scratch his head a bit, he really wanted to scratch his head this time.

No wonder they all say that the needs of the elderly and children are the hardest to satisfy. Chen Huihui's wish was abstract, and Luo Jun's taste of memory was high-difficulty.

Fruit-shaped pastry, the absolute peak aesthetics of Chinese-style pastries, a type of dim sum that Qin Huai would absolutely not make.

Simply put, fruit-shaped pastry is a type of dim sum that looks like fruit and is fake.

Made with flour, the method is steaming. Simple styles include peach, apple, pear, banana, pomegranate, and other basic fruits.

These fruit-shaped pastries not only have the shape of fruit but also the taste of fruit. Banana fruit-shaped pastry has a banana taste, and apple fruit-shaped pastry has an apple taste. Whatever fruit it looks like, you can taste the taste of that fruit.

At this time, some people might ask, these fruits are basic styles, so what are the advanced and complex styles?

Answer: Whatever you want it to be, it can be.

The chef's craftsmanship and imagination determine the upper limit of fruit-shaped pastry. As long as the level is reached and you are not afraid of trouble, fruit baskets, fruit boats, fruit platters, pandas playing with bamboo, two dragons playing with a pearl, phoenixes spreading their wings, snow falling on cold plums, all can be made.

What is made is not dim sum, but purely works of art.

It is a work of art that is color, fragrance, and taste complete, and can be eaten, played with, and watched.

Can Qin Huai do it?

No.

He doesn't do any styling for dim sum at all.

It wasn't taught in the Dim Sum Encyclopedia!

Did Seeing Liu Tao have such high white-case skills? Wasn't she just a beginner player who could only cook Grade D dried tangerine peel tea? How did she open up her Ren and Du meridians after marriage, and her craftsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, and she even knew how to make fruit-shaped pastries?

Qin Huai indicated that this wasn't making things difficult for him, Fatty Tiger?

Luo Jun saw Qin Huai's face turn blue and white, and asked impatiently: "What's wrong?"

Qin Huai read the quest details once.

Luo Jun: "What is fruit-shaped pastry?"

Qin Huai:?

Qin Huai could only explain to Luo Jun again what fruit-shaped pastry was with a blank face.

Luo Jun nodded, indicating he understood, and began to give information points: "That thing, huh? I have a slight impression, but that wasn't made by Seeing Liu Tao."

Qin Huai:??

The quest details were wrong?

What kind of broken game system, not professional at all.

"Not made by Seeing Liu Tao, what do you mean?" Qin Huai asked hurriedly.

Luo Jun wasn't very willing to say, but for the sake of Qin Huai's quest, he still flipped through his memory and said: "Seeing Liu Tao was from the Shu region and was sold to a theater troupe to travel north and south since she was a child. After I married her, Seeing Liu Tao said she wanted to go home and see. It just so happened that Shanghai wasn't safe at that time, with bombing outside the Concession every day, and the Concession was crowded like it was about to make dumplings."

"So I went to the Shu region with her and lived there for a few years."

"The food there was too spicy, I couldn't get used to it at all, and it made me want to spit fire every day. I didn't like the non-spicy food either, and only the food at Wu Family Restaurant was okay. I was too lazy to go out, so Seeing Liu Tao basically went out to buy it."

"I don't know where she found the pastry shop and bought what you called... fruit-shaped pastry, but it wasn't as exaggerated as you said. Eating an apple had an apple taste, and eating an orange had an orange taste. It was just a type of dim sum that looked better. I remember the carrot one was okay and indeed had a carrot taste, but I don't like eating carrots."

Luo Jun finished speaking.

Qin Huai was even more silent.

Very good, now it's not even fruit-shaped pastry.

Although the difficulty coefficient had decreased, the strategy direction was even more confusing. Luo Jun's words gathered all the difficulties of children and the elderly.

"Then do you have any..." "Don't ask me, I don't remember." Luo Jun said straightforwardly. "But I can tell you what I don't like to eat."

"I don't like eating carrots, shiitake mushrooms, celery, and onions. Tell the chef in your canteen to cook less of that damn carrot stir-fried meat, celery stir-fried meat, and onion stir-fried meat. Why do you like stir-frying meat so much?"

"Do you love eating in our canteen that much?" Qin Huai asked back.

Luo Jun chose to be silent and not speak.

The two had already been sitting in this quiet corner for a while.

"I'll send you back." Qin Huai felt that the business was finished and it was time to disperse.

He wanted to go to the neighborhood committee to ask Chen Huihong if she had any wishes she wanted to complete, and if she could pull out a side quest.

Although Chen Huihong had already woken up, what if? What if he could pull a Qu Jing's dream or Luo Jun's memory from Chen Huihong?

"If you have something to do, you go back first. I'll sit here for a while longer." Luo Jun said.

Qin Huai didn't feel at ease leaving Luo Jun outside alone. Although this place was very close to Building A, Luo Jun's legs and feet would be reincarnated in advance if he bumped into anything.

Qin Huai would accompany Luo Jun for a while longer.

"Is the draft the painter you found last time gave yesterday the final draft?" Luo Jun started chatting to have something to say.

"It doesn't have to be." Qin Huai said. After all, Luo Jun's money was in place, so he could change it however he wanted.

The fourth draft given by Bing Bingzi was already very close to Seeing Liu Tao's appearance in Qin Huai's opinion, with seven or eight points of similarity, but it lacked charm.

But it was unrealistic to want to draw charm, after all, Bing Bingzi drew it entirely based on Qin Huai's oral description, and she had never seen Seeing Liu Tao in person. Being able to draw it like this was already very good in Qin Huai's opinion.

Once Luo Jun nodded and finalized the draft, Bing Bingzi would draw seven or eight more detailed final drafts that could be used as photos, which Luo Jun would hang at home.

"Change it again." Luo Jun didn't even lift his eyelids. "The eyebrows and eyes are still a bit off, different from the ones in my memory."

"Tell that painter that there will be an extra bonus if she draws well."

Qin Huai said for Bing Bingzi: Okay, Boss. Thank you, Boss. I know, Boss. You've worked hard, Boss.

Luo Jun sat for a while longer.

Qin Huai counted, and there were already 5 bites on his arm.

Good ecology means many mosquitoes. No wonder no one comes to this place.

"Let's go, let's go back." Luo Jun stood up. "Get that fruit-shaped pastry done as soon as possible, and when it's done, call Xiao Zhang to have her take it."

"This is your side quest, and the quest reward is also your memory." Qin Huai reminded.

"I know." Luo Jun said impatiently. "I don't have real amnesia, I won't forget it just because you read it to me just now."

"Anyway, you'll watch it sooner or later, and you can't stop it, so it's better to watch it early, and it can also let me eat something good early."

Qin Huai:...

If you love drinking dried tangerine peel tea, just say it, no need to find so many excuses.

Qin Huai sent Luo Jun back, returned to the canteen, and sent a WeChat message to Chen Huihong on the way.

Qin Huai: Sister Hong, do you have any side quests you want to complete recently? Can you issue one to me?

Chen Huihong:?

Chen Huihong: Issue.

Chen Huihong: Chen Huihong issues a side quest to Qin Huai.

Chen Huihong: Is it there now?

Qin Huai: No qaq

Qin Huai: Sister Hong, can you help me ask Huihui in a different way?

Chen Huihong:?

Going to the countryside for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, it's highly likely I won't update, so I'll ask for leave first, but there's a small probability I'll update a chapter at night _(: 3"∠)_
