Chapter 308: Mung Bean Cake

"Mr. Luo is a very enthusiastic You Bifang," Chen Gong said, "as enthusiastic as the creator of the recipe I gave you."

"I believe you should be able to guess, and the recipe should also have a display, that this creator and the creator of the Jiang Mi Rice Cake recipe you obtained are the same monster."

"I only talked to you briefly at noon and didn't say it in detail. When I was crossing the tribulation in my first life, the first boss fired me on the grounds that I was not doing things well. No matter how I explained and defended, he didn't listen, and finally, my tribulation had already failed when he directly had people kick me out of the shop."

"At that time, I was very unwilling. I felt that even if the boss didn't know that his luck came from me, I had been diligent, hardworking, and uncomplaining for those years, and I had never been corrupt or hidden anything. He should have seen it in his eyes, and I shouldn't have ended up like this."

"According to the normal monster tribulation process, I should have committed suicide directly at that time."

Qin Huai:...

Your normal tribulation process is really extreme.

"But I didn't, because I was unwilling. I felt that this was not my problem. If I had a problem, it was that my vision was not good and I followed the wrong boss."

"We Wen Yao Fish are a little different from You Bifang, Bai, and Que Qin. My ability is not only reflected in that I can cure diseases when eaten by others. I am an auspicious beast. Even if I fail the tribulation and lose my divine power, my auspicious beast buff will still accompany me, but it will be reduced."

Qin Huai nodded to indicate that he had already guessed it, because whether it was Chen Huihong or Qu Jing, they had mentioned to him that some monsters are special. The abilities of those monsters will not make themselves strong, but may act on others. Because of different abilities, the difficulty of crossing the tribulation of these monsters will be different. Some abilities are very powerful, which will cause their tribulation difficulty to be very high.

"So I was unwilling at that time. I thought if I were still me, but I changed a boss, would I get a different ending."

"So I stayed in the world knowing that I had already failed and chose the second boss."

"I met him in the micro-end, watching his business grow bigger and bigger, and the dignitaries he associated with more and more. He was also very good to me at the beginning and appreciated me very much, often telling me that I was really his lucky star. I thought I had chosen the right person."

"But I was wrong."

"After the second boss drove me away, I was still unwilling. I more cautiously found a third boss who I thought had a very good character in all aspects, continued to follow him, and accompanied him to start from scratch."

"Thinking about it now, actually, I was really just a monster at that time. I didn't understand that people would change."

"The third boss didn't fire me; he suspected that I had betrayed him. Of course, it is also possible that this was just an excuse, but at that time I had no intention to figure these out."

"I became a famous traitor in the industry, notorious, and my money was stolen by a thief who happened to enter my house, leaving only some cash on me."

"At that time, I was extremely unwilling and resentful. Although I was only a middle-aged man at that time, and in that era, I was a middle-aged man who looked well-maintained, I no longer had the energy to find a fourth boss."

"I intended to eat a good meal with the last bit of money on me like everyone who didn't want to live, and then jump into the Huangpu River."

Qin Huai listened quietly. He found that when Chen Gong said this, the emotions in his eyes had a trace of fluctuation.

"I originally wanted to have a meal in a restaurant, but the consumption in Shanghai was too high, and I didn't have much cash on me at that time, so I couldn't afford a big meal. On the way to the Huangpu River, I happened to see a newly opened dim sum shop called Qin Ji Pastry Shop, and I walked in by mistake."

"The boss of that dim sum shop is a monster, a monster of the second life. You have seen him in Qu Jing's memory."

"I guess he might be trying to eliminate his obsession, so he opened dim sum shops all over the country. He recognized that I was a monster and also saw that I had failed the tribulation. He was very enthusiastic, gave me a chair, a cup of tea, a plate of mung bean cake, and listened to me talk about the story of failing the tribulation for an afternoon."

"He told me that this was not my fault. If I had a fault, I should pay the price for it, but I shouldn't be so stubborn and let myself fall into a deeper obsession cycle. In this way, my tribulation would be very difficult to succeed."

"He said that there are very good humans in this world. He has seen them, and he believes that I will also meet them. Let me not go to reincarnation with full resentment, but calm down and think about it, and go to reincarnation with peace of mind."

Qin Huai asked curiously: "Can I ask, why did he fail the tribulation?"

According to the timeline when Qu Jing and Chen Gong met this monster, if this monster hasn't succeeded in crossing the tribulation yet, Qin Huai feels that buddy has a high probability of appearing in his illustrated column.

There is a greater probability of becoming an important supporting role in the book, so he needs to understand it in advance.

"I'm not very clear about this," Chen Gong said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "We mainly talked about me that day. I only know that he opened dim sum shops everywhere to find someone."

"After talking with him that day, I gave up the plan to jump into the Huangpu River that day. I went home and calmed down for a few days, thought about it carefully, and felt that what he said made sense. After the obsession and resentment in my heart were not so deep, I went to jump into the Huangpu River."

Qin Huai:...

Although this behavior is also very normal for you monsters, why does this sound... why does it... why...

Forget it, let's not talk about it.

You monsters really have something.

Whether it is fish, bird, or plant monsters, they all like to say something outrageous.

Qin Huai has completely finished listening to Chen Gong's story.

Although Qin Huai is not very familiar with Chen Gong, he can be familiar with all monsters. Because among the non-monster creatures in this world who can communicate with monsters so openly, I am afraid it is only him, the protagonist of the system novel.

Qin Huai thought seriously, and then asked very cautiously: "Then what is your plan now..."

"Continue to live, or jump into the Huangpu River directly?"

According to the basic law of monster tribulation, the safest way after successfully crossing the tribulation is actually to commit suicide directly. Staying in the world will have unstable factors, and although these monsters say that they will not, no one can guarantee what they can do.

Qu Jing, who looks the most stable and will not cause trouble, did a big one during the New Year. Chen Gong also looks very mature and stable, very reliable, and is a very qualified working person, but he also did things like not giving up after failing the tribulation in his first life and finding two more bosses.

Of course, for the most tragic result, please see a certain elementary school student who is studying.

"Of course, continue to live," Chen Gong said without hesitation. "I know what Master Qin is worried about, and I also know that there is a risk, but I don't regret it."

"Just like what the monster I met at the end of my first life said to me, he met a truly good person in the world, and he believes that I will too."

"I have been a human for so many lives, and I know very well that human nature is complex, and I also know very well that people will not remain unchanged forever, but I am willing to bet. I am willing to bet that my vision now is better than when I was in my first life, and I am willing to bet that I understand people better than when I was in my first life."

"I am willing to bet again for Han Zong."

"I am also willing to accept any price and result."

Qin Huai knew that this was Chen Gong's decision, and he also guessed this decision.

How to say it, if these monsters were all very rational and wouldn't be impulsive, and had no problems, and could be called perfect, they wouldn't have failed the tribulation in the first place.

"I also believe that Assistant Chen's vision of people this time is no problem. I believe Han Zong is a very good boss, and he is also a very good party A," Qin Huai said with a smile.

"So, can I ask you to do one more thing for me?"

"What is it?" Chen Gong asked.

"Please help me change tomorrow's flight to depart in the evening. Help me find a place where I can make dim sum in the morning, and by the way, help me prepare some ingredients needed to make mung bean cake."

"I will send you the ingredient list later. I haven't watched the video tutorial of the recipe I just obtained, but it should be about the same as the mung bean cake production method I know now."

"We are not in the same city. You should rarely have the opportunity to go to Shan City for business trips, let alone come to Cloud Canteen for meals every day. This is not realistic."

"Under normal circumstances, monsters wake up because they ate the food I touched out of their memories, whether it is Qu Jing or Hong Jie."

"Only you are special, giving the recipe after waking up first."

"But the recipe in your memory, I think it should follow the old tradition that you eat it first."

"I can't make A+ grade mung bean cake, but I believe there is no problem with B grade. I still have this confidence."

"How about it, Assistant Chen?"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "It's an honor."

After Chen Gong left, Qin Huai drank two sips of drinks, opened his mobile phone, and read the chat records of the "Loving Family" group in the afternoon from beginning to end, and then clicked on the game panel to check the production process of mung bean cake.

The beginning of the video is a pair of very slender hands.

A pair of slender, beautiful, well-maintained, standard pastry chef hands with calluses where they should be and clean where they should be.

This one? The culinary skills of the monster are even better than Qin Huai imagined.

A+ grade mung bean cake, it can be seen that he didn't lie when he met Qu Jing in the provincial capital. That batch of Jiang Mi Rice Cake was indeed made badly and was only A grade.

Being able to make A+ grade dim sum, this level is absolutely the level of a master chef even in Zhi Wei Ju.

The video tutorial starts from rubbing mung beans.

Friends who often make mung bean cake know that mung bean cake needs to peel the mung beans first, wash them, and soak them for more than 6 hours, so that it is easier to steam them rotten when steaming.

In the past, when Qin Huai made mung bean cake, peeling was usually the responsibility of Qin Luo. Except for Qin Luo, anyone peeling mung beans might not be careful enough. Only Qin Luo wouldn't, and she would definitely ensure that every mung bean was peeled clean.

Because she wanted to eat it, and loved to eat it.

The peeling segment at the beginning of the video tutorial is very short, just simply showing that the peeled mung beans are clean enough and the quality of the mung beans, and then it comes to the process of steaming in the pot.

After steaming, use a shovel to grind the mung beans into fine mud, and add butter to the pot to cook on low heat.

Yes, it is butter. This method is quite novel. At least in that era, it was like this.

And then it is the very normal method of mung bean cake.

Seasoning, which is adding sugar and stir-frying, then drying and shaping.

The whole process looks plain and unremarkable at first glance, and it is almost exactly the same as the steps Qin Huai takes when making mung bean cake on weekdays. There are no small tricks and no big show-offs.

The whole process is only normal and peaceful. The creator is unhurried, every step is in good order, and he even has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder.

All bowls, dishes, and seasonings must be arranged neatly, and if there is a little displacement during the production process, it must be moved back.

Qin Huai finished watching the tutorial once.

Understood, but there is no insight.

This video tutorial gives people a feeling that you can do it too, but you definitely can't do it after you go up, because your level is not up to par.

This feeling is completely different from Jiang Chengde's inability to understand at all, Jiang Weiming's ability to understand very well, and Jiang Weijin's ability to understand a little bit but learn many small tricks.

Qin Huai knows well the truth that if you don't understand it once, watch it again.

Then he watched it again and again.

The video tutorial of mung bean cake is not long or short, but watching it 15 times must be staying up late.

It was already the middle of the night when Qin Huai realized he was staying up late.

Before going to bed, Qin Huai sent a message to Qin Luo.

Qin Huai: Luo Luo, are you free this weekend? I want to make mung bean cake, you prepare.

Qin Luo, who was caught playing with her mobile phone by her brother in the middle of the night: 〣(o)〣

Heaven and earth conscience, since the start of school, she has only secretly played with her mobile phone for this day, how did her brother know?

Qin Luo was so scared that she hurriedly stuffed her mobile phone under the pillow and started to sleep.
