Chapter 1066: Chapter 438: Even the Most Rigorous System Has Bugs! Perfect Level Red Bean Paste Acquired!
"I originally wanted to make some Donkey Rolling..."
Lin Xu took a bite of the crispy, delicious brown sugar oil cake. It was more fragrant than the white sugar version, with a slight bitterness unique to brown sugar and the fragrance of sesame sauce.
For Beijingers, sesame sauce is truly ubiquitous.
No matter what you’re making, you can always add a bit of sesame sauce.
Upon hearing about making Donkey Rolling, Grandma Shen, who was immersed in the deliciousness, said:
"That’s good. When you’re not busy, Little Xu, make some for Grandma, okay? Steaming Jiang Mi Noodles is too troublesome. I want to eat it but I’m too lazy to make it. Since the corner snack shop changed owners, their Donkey Rolling has gotten worse and worse."
Since Grandma spoke up, there was no need for further persuasion.
Lin Xu immediately agreed:
"Sure, Grandma. I’ll prepare in the coming days when I’m not busy and bring it to you while it’s hot."
Although Donkey Rolling can be eaten cold or hot, honestly, it’s still more enjoyable when freshly made and eaten warm.
The sweet and smooth glutinous rice with the sweet and dense soybean flour, paired with the delicate texture of the red bean paste, is simply irresistible.
Lin Xu decided to make Donkey Rolling.
Moreover, once the red bean paste is made, he could use the steamed mung beans to create Mung Bean Roll—another Beijing delicacy!
Additionally, red bean paste can be made into red bean cake and red bean paste buns, red bean cakes, and other sweets.
It can be said that as long as the red bean paste is made, a variety of snacks can be covered.
This is just too cost-effective.
Thinking of this, Lin Xu opened the points mall to see if he could take advantage of the system loophole.
During tasks, the related dishes cannot be exchanged from the system mall.
For instance, currently, all Beijing-type snacks are in locked status.
He tried testing braised fire-roasted buns.
"Sorry, during the [Beijing Snacks] task period, this skill cannot be exchanged. Please exchange after the task period ends. You can set a reservation reminder, and after setting, you can enjoy a 10% discount on points exchange."
Tsk tsk, even the methods of app developers requiring system notification permissions have been learned.
You’re really a system that loves to learn.
Lin Xu tried other Beijing snacks, and none could be exchanged.
Since the finished snacks couldn’t be exchanged, he thought of finding a way through the fillings.
He opened the fillings section, searched for a while, and found red bean paste filling. He saw the perfect level only required 499,999 points, so he exchanged it with a "give it a try" attitude.
Then... the exchange succeeded.
"Host spent 499,999 points, gained the perfect level red bean paste filling recipe, and triggered the trial task of this filling: Please, host, make six superior-level sweet snacks using red bean paste within 24 hours. Upon completion, you’ll permanently obtain the perfect level red bean paste recipe. If the task fails, the skill will automatically downgrade to superior level. Congratulations, host."
Tsk tsk...
It was just a test, but it actually succeeded.
If I’d known, I’d have exchanged for excellent level or superior level; this way, there’d be no trial task involved and no worry about which six sweets to make with the red bean paste.
This system truly knows how to create chaos...
Just as he was pondering, the system’s notification sounded again:
"Host thinks the difficulty is too low, actively applies to increase difficulty, and the six superior-level sweets in the trial task are automatically upgraded to eight superior-level sweet snacks. Congratulations, host!"
Good grief!
Really knows how to imitate bad habits.
Next time, I’ll have Dundun empty your inventory.
Lin Xu didn’t expect that murmuring "old trickster" to the system would bring such a reverse result. Could the influence of the term "old trickster" be known to the system?
Holding a bowl of Fried Liver, he slurped a big mouthful, chewing on the fatty intestines and pork liver while calculating what would be best to make.
Previously, he mastered the perfect level Leisha Yuan, so making Leisha Yuan with red bean paste isn’t a problem. Moreover, during the kelp paste incident, he coincidentally learned how to handle white kidney beans. Combining the two, Mung Bean Roll comes out.
Donkey Rolling isn’t very difficult either; just steam the glutinous rice flour twice and knead it till smooth, then roll it out, spread with red bean paste, and turn it into flower buns—it’s not hard.
As for the rest, it can be made into cakes, sticky rice cakes, Qingtuan, thousand-layer cakes... As long as the filling is prepared in advance, making eight sweets within 24 hours isn’t a problem.
"Xu Bao, what are you mumbling about?"
Shen Jiayue saw Lin Xu eating while pondering something and curiously asked.
"Oh, nothing. I plan to go home today and make some red bean paste filling. Once the filling is ready, I can make Donkey Rolling that Grandma loves tomorrow."
Grandma Shen immediately said:
"No need to rush. I’m just saying casually; Little Xu can make it whenever he’s not busy."
"Not busy, not busy. Going home is just for gaming. I’ll record the process of making red bean paste filling at home, so the netizens can learn along with me."
To complete the trial task within 24 hours.
He can only sacrifice valuable gaming time.
Indeed, starting a family and career is the greatest harm to gaming.
Thinking back to the past, lying in the dorm playing on the phone until it overheated and crashed, even attaching ice packs to the back.
And now... the only times the phone overheats are due to being too close to the stove.
As for the computer, don’t even mention it. Although Yue Liyue helped in assembling the highest configuration available, with three screens forming a connected display and 7.1 home-theater-type audio.
But recently, evenings are spent organizing video materials. Occasionally opening a game doesn’t even spark interest to play.
