Chapter 295: Chapter 190: Are All Male Leads in Your System Like This? (Thanks to the leader, Da Xia who loves eating hamburgers, for the reward!)_2

Then things went wrong, and went wrong again, continuing to go wrong in a never-ending cycle. It took a week or two before realizing that the failures were due to my own lack of skill, and finally giving up.

This process of recognizing oneself took a very long time.

Sometimes, watching from the side, Qin Huai wanted to ask, "Dong Shi, do you not realize how far your culinary skills have reached? You only have advanced knife skills, so why challenge the master level Wensi Tofu?"

Then Qin Huai found this issue was not only present in Dong Shi, but also reflected in Wang Jun, Qi Tian, and even Huang Jia.

It was only then that Qin Huai realized not every chef has an accurate sense of their own level.

Qin Huai thought for a moment and asked directly, "What do you mean by satisfaction, to what degree?"

Zheng Siyuan paused for a moment, his hand stopped for two seconds, then continued wrapping wontons: "It’s the degree of satisfaction."

"I think it’s okay. I’ve practiced this snack for so long, and it stands up to my efforts, presentable, won’t embarrass me if others know, that’s satisfaction."

Qin Huai nodded, feeling that Zheng Siyuan’s standard was the same as his own.

"What about you?" Zheng Siyuan asked back, "I’ve seen you practicing so many snacks over this time, like chicken soup noodles, locust flower buns, crab dumplings, guo’er, Dream Come True Sesame Buns, and even Gastrodia stewed pigeon. Have you practiced all these snacks to a satisfactory level?"

This time it was Qin Huai’s turn to be taken aback.

Qin Huai thought about it and felt that making excuses would be too fake, so he might as well explain directly. After all, Zheng Siyuan knew that he always imagined having a system, in Yunzhong Restaurant, Zheng Siyuan had also seen him squatting in the corner of the kitchen, opening the game panel to view recipes, and there was nothing that couldn’t be said.

Qin Huai straightforwardly said: "I’ve basically practiced them all. In the system I imagined, I rated each dish and graded my own skills..."

Five minutes later—

Zheng Siyuan was completely dazed, he didn’t even want to make wontons anymore.

He just sat quietly looking at Qin Huai, his face full of question marks. And Qin Huai, the mastermind behind it all, calmly kneaded the dough, saw Zheng Siyuan looking at him, and even asked:

"Do you understand what I just said?"

Zheng Siyuan: "...I understand."

But don’t accept it.

Zheng Siyuan had never thought, that the system Qin Huai imagined was so practical.

How did Qin Luo accept all this over the years?

Is it because Qin Luo was so accepting, that led Qin Huai to be increasingly outrageous?

Could someone really practice snacks this way?

Was his progress slower than Qin Huai’s because he hadn’t imagined having a system, then rating his own dishes?

Zheng Siyuan fell into deep thought.

Qin Huai didn’t know his simple words had rattled Zheng Siyuan greatly, and he proceeded to make chicken soup noodles as usual.

At eight-thirty, Huang’s Kitchen had breakfast as usual.

The kitchen staff happily held their chicken soup noodles, feeling it was truly joyful to eat a hot bowl of chicken soup noodles in the morning!

What the kitchen crew at Huang’s Kitchen didn’t know, was that their joy had just begun.

Today’s menu from Qin Huai was simple: Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns, Three Meat Buns.

Qin Huai originally only intended to make Three Meat Buns, but Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns meant a lot to Huang Ji, and not making them felt like letting down the loyal customers of Huang Ji.

Besides, Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns is simple, it’s currently the most stable B-level buff dish that Qin Huai can make. Constantly making Three Meat Buns can be tiring, and interspersing with Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns can adjust the mood.

Qin Huai felt he was getting a bit obsessed with making Three Meat Buns lately.

What to say, he really likes it.

He didn’t have this feeling when making Crab Dumplings before.

When making Crab Dumplings, Qin Huai’s status was more about practicing and completing tasks. But when making Three Meat Buns, Qin Huai really liked it.

He liked it so much that, after making Three Meat Buns during the day, he still wanted to watch the tutorial videos a few more times before bed.

He loved it too much.

Qin Huai felt his essence was still in making such meat-filled breakfast snacks, don’t ask, just because Qin Luo loves to eat them.

Qin Huai happily kneaded the dough.

Happily made the filling.

Happily instructed Wang Jun on cooking the filling.

He even had the leisure to sneak a peek at how Dong Shi’s dicing was going.

Dong Shi’s knife skills were indeed good, much better than Pei Xing and Li Hua, the diced ingredients were uniform and pretty.

Whether or not it would help with the taste, Qin Huai wasn’t sure yet, but it certainly helped with the presentation.

If there was indeed a bored customer who wanted to break open the bun to see how the filling looked, they would find the bun’s filling beautifully presented.

Huang’s Kitchen ran orderly, everyone has their own duties.

At ten in the morning, the first batch of Three Meat Buns was out of the steamer.

Qin Huai looked at the steamer basket and was a little surprised.

[Three Meat Buns B+ Level]

He had made so many Three Meat Buns over the days, they had always been B-level, so consistently it was scary.

At this moment, Qin Huai deeply realized that teamwork was really important, a professional team was really different from an amateurish setup.

Dong Shi curiously came over: "The buns are ready? Can I have one first?"

"Eat!" Qin Huai responded straightforwardly, "Everyone have a taste, try to see if I’ve made progress in my understanding of the Three Meat Buns over the past few days."

The unnamed assistants quickly stepped forward, opened the steamer basket, nimbly picked out the buns, and distributed one to each person.

Everyone found Qin Huai’s sudden enthusiasm a bit strange.

Although Qin Huai rarely made Three Meat Buns at Huang Ji, he made Five Fillings Bun daily, and everyone in the kitchen, when hungry, could report to Huang Jia or Qin Huai and eat whenever they wanted.

In a way, buns weren’t as rare as chicken soup noodles, because the chicken soup noodles could only be had during breakfast, with everyone limited to one bowl.

Dong Shi seemed really hungry, blew on the bun, and took a bite.

"Hiss—"

Dong Shi sucked in a cold breath from being scalded.

"Hiss—"

Dong Shi was startled to suck in another cold breath.

Dong Li, watching his unlucky brother from the side with a face full of helplessness, couldn’t help but tease: "Is it that hot?"

"Hiss—" Dong Shi still sucking in a cold breath, "Bro, this bun, Qin Huai, he, this bun, this, this is too, no, he..."

Dong Li: ?

Did his brother get scalded stupid?

Dong Li cautiously took another two puffs, bit into it slowly.

"Kouchi—" Dong Li almost let out a hiss too.

Dong Shi frantically nodded: "Bro, you get it? This bun, this is too, Qin Huai he..."

Hacked it, perhaps.

Dong Li completed what Dong Shi failed to finish saying, in his mind.

Dong Li chewed the bun again.

It was a delicious bun.

To be precise, an extraordinarily delicious bun.

A bun delicious enough to match Qin Huai’s skill level.

The Three Meat Bun’s level actually exceeded the Five Fillings Bun in deliciousness.

Wasn’t Qin Huai on leave at home?

Did he really not have a mentor?

Did he really just go home on leave to see his sister, and not to further his training?

Just when Dong Li was considering whether he should also learn from Qin Huai and save all his leave to take two months off at once, Zheng Siyuan walked over to Qin Huai.

Still holding half of an uneaten Three Meat Bun in hand.

"Qin Huai, could you repeat that method you mentioned this morning about imagining yourself with a system for rating? Could you explain how to imagine it?"

Qin Huai: ...?
