Chapter 437: Two Recipes and Amazing Buffs

When Qin Huai left the memory and returned to the living room, there were still many egg tarts left on the table. Shi Dadan had already stopped eating, it seemed he was full.

Seeing Qin Huai look up, Shi Dadan asked: "What is the plot of Xiao Zhao's dream?"

"His struggle story of looking for a job," Qin Huai said concisely.

In the matter of looking for a job, Zhao Cheng'an could be considered in a class of his own among the spirits. Zhao Cheng'an's dream this time wasn't too long; Qin Huai spent less than four days in it, counting everything, and two of those days were garbage time where he didn't even see the protagonist.

As a Mayfly, Zhao Cheng'an had no thoughts of playing with life, nor any obsession with living a few more years; he only had a full desire to find a good job.

"Old Shi, don't be in a hurry. Later, I'll start a group video call to tell everyone what I saw. It just so happens I still have some things I want to ask Sister Hong. Let me see what recipes I obtained first." After speaking, Qin Huai clicked on the game panel.

Zhao Cheng'an's status hadn't changed.

Name: Zhao Cheng'an

Species: Mayfly

Status:???

Dreams: 1/3

Recipes: 【Rice Cake】, 【Red Egg】 (Click to view details)

Gift: None

The number of dreams had appeared, a total of three dreams. Besides the rice cake, he had also fished out a red egg, which was slightly beyond Qin Huai's expectations.

Qin Huai clicked on the recipes to view the details.

【Rice Cake A+ Rank】

Creator: Jiang Chengde

Dish Details: A casual creation by the grandmaster Jiang Chengde when he was taking care of breakfast for a family of eleven after his wife was severely weakened by a difficult labor. Although it was just a rice cake made from the most ordinary raw materials with a little white sugar added, and the rice cake had a poor texture because it had cooled and hardened slightly, it still left a deep impression in Zhao Cheng'an's heart, becoming his standard for judging delicious snacks. Eating this snack on a workday morning will give you a full day of energy and a relatively good mood.

Number of times it can be made per day: (0/996)

【Red Egg C Rank】

Creator: Qin Wan

Dish Details: To celebrate the hundredth day of her seventh son, Jiang Weiguo, Qin Wan, dragging her sick body, spent a day boiling red eggs with Sappanwood. Although it was just an ordinary red egg, it contained a mother's purest and simplest blessings and expectations for her child. Eating it on occasions like weddings, births, or full-month celebrations can alleviate physical pain to a certain extent within 24 hours (depending on specific circumstances).

Number of times it can be made within one hundred days: (0/99)

The ratings and buffs of these two recipes were a bit beyond Qin Huai's expectations.

First, a rice cake—a rice cake that the dish details specifically emphasized was a casual creation, and one that had cooled and hardened, affecting the texture—how could it be A+ rank?

What was the concept of A+ rank?

The only A+ rank snack Qin Huai had ever made was the 'Guo'er' that Xu Cheng ate that day, which he and Huang Shengli had made with extraordinary performance, directly putting the 'Guo'er' on the cover of the New Year's issue of *Zhiwei*.

That was 'Guo'er', that was the 'Guo'er' that required a large stir-fry scoop for the filling, and whose overall styling and production method were infinitely close to an apple-faced 'Guo'er', fulfilling both savory and pastry requirements.

That was A+ rank.

What was a casually made rice cake? In Qin Huai's heart, a casually made rice cake was the slightly sweet rice cake, five for one yuan, that he could squat and wait for in his residential area when he was in middle school, sold by peddlers pedaling tricycles at 5:00 PM every day.

That was a casually made rice cake.

A+ rank was a casual creation.

Then what were the B+ rank and A rank snacks that Qin Huai made with painstaking effort and full commitment every day?

Even if Jiang Chengde was a grandmaster, this grandmaster had to follow basic laws, right? This was too outrageous, too excessive. It was one thing that the Sophora flower steamed bun was an S-rank made specially to coax children, but how could this casually made rice cake be A+ rank?

Was the gold content of a grandmaster this high?

Qin Huai didn't even want to click on the rice cake's video tutorial. His intuition told him that if he clicked on this video tutorial, it would be just like the Sophora flower steamed bun tutorial—he wouldn't understand it.

As for the rice cake's buff...

Essential for the working class.

The 996 production frequency was enough to explain everything. If there were no accidents, Zhao Cheng'an should have worked happily for a whole day after eating this rice cake.

Of course, what actually shocked Qin Huai the most wasn't the A+ rank rice cake.

It was the C-rank red egg.

Qin Huai knew exactly what a red egg was. On the day Qin Luo and He Cheng were born and on their full-month days, the red eggs for these two children were all boiled by Qin Huai.

It wasn't that the adults in the Qin family were lazy and abused the children, making children do such simple work, but because everyone felt that Qin Luo and He Cheng were sent by Qin Huai, the Child-Sending Guanyin, so the red eggs boiled by him had a doubled blessing effect and were more festive.

Not only were the eggs boiled by Qin Huai, but even the red paper wrapping the eggs was wrapped by Qin Huai one by one by hand.

Qin Huai had boiled them, so he knew very well that a red egg was, to put it bluntly, just a boiled egg.

You couldn't boil any tricks into it.

Boiling an egg to C-rank—what kind of boiled egg was this?

What were the D-rank Gastrodia-stewed pigeon and others supposed to do about this C-rank boiled egg?

As for the red egg's buff, that went without saying. This was probably the most powerful buff Qin Huai had seen since he started fishing out so many recipes. 99 can be made within 100 days, and eating it on specific days can alleviate illness to a certain extent. It really fit the beautiful meaning of red eggs; after all, the essence of sending red eggs was sharing blessings.

Qin Huai thought for a moment and clicked on the rice cake video tutorial to watch it once.

It was still the familiar close-up video tutorial; the location was likely Jiang Chengde's own home.

The production process of the rice cake was very simple: soak the rice and glutinous rice, grind them into rice milk, add yeast and white sugar, stir evenly, and let it ferment. After fermentation, add a little more white sugar, pour the rice milk into a mold, and steam it over high heat.

It could be said to be one of the simplest snacks, very suitable for mass production.

In Jiang Chengde's era, there were no juicers, so the process of making rice milk was a bit more troublesome and labor-intensive. But clearly, this labor wasn't too much of a problem for Jiang Chengde. He used the most traditional method to produce very fine rice milk, and every step was very precise.

It was a bit like Zhao Cheng'an's textbook-like precision, but it was different. Zhao Cheng'an's textbook gave people the feeling that he had seen the original tutorial and imitated it very well, so it was a textbook-like snack.

Jiang Chengde's textbook was blatantly telling you: That's right, I wrote this textbook.

Every step was perfect, every step was precise, and every step had no problems that could be picked out. It made people see it and think, "Wow, this is the textbook of my dreams, this is the perfect tutorial I've been seeking!"

Before watching the video tutorial, Qin Huai thought the rice cake would be like the Sophora flower steamed bun, a bit hard to understand.

Well, not a bit—it was just hard to understand.

Qin Huai now watched the Sophora flower steamed bun tutorial, and he couldn't understand the key steps either. He knew there might be techniques there, he knew it was critical, but he simply didn't know where the key was.

He felt that Jiang Chengde just finished it after a series of smooth operations. This feeling was like listening to a teacher explain the solution to the last big problem on a test in high school; you listened to the teacher say a long string of words, and then it was over. You listened, but you had no idea what the teacher was saying.

But the rice cake video tutorial was different.

Maybe it was because this rice cake was really too simple, too basic—so basic that there were no techniques to apply—so Qin Huai could understand it, and even understand it very clearly.

This rice cake video tutorial told Qin Huai the standard answer to a question he had been thinking about but didn't know the answer to— ===== CHAPTER 438 =====
