Chapter 1092: Chapter 446: The Always Low-Key Niu Chuan Actually Made Superior Yellow Rice Jujube Cake!
Hm, these guys accidentally came up with some metaphysical theory that eating Braised Pork Belly will enhance bust size.
To prevent them from going astray, let me give them a friendly reminder.
Don’t end up doing something more outrageous for the sake of your figure.
Before Lin Xu could finish his sentence, Chen Yan, Shu Yun, Zeng Xiaoqi, and Dou Wenjing all said to the waiter simultaneously:
"Give me a cup of health soybean milk!"
After saying it, they exchanged glances, each masking their awkward expressions:
"Ahem, I just felt like I hadn’t had any in a long time and wanted to try it."
"I really love the aroma of soybeans, don’t overthink it."
"I’m just purely thirsty, not what you guys are thinking."
After Chen Yan and the others finished speaking, they turned to look at Zeng Xiaoqi:
"Didn’t you reconcile? Why are you also drinking soybean milk?"
Zeng Xiaoqi blinked:
"That’s precisely why, because I reconciled, I have to help them grow... is there a problem?"
Lin Xu didn’t originally know who Zeng Xiaoqi reconciled with, but after listening, he vaguely understood, so he got up with his bowl and went to eat with Wei Qian and the others.
Topics about women are too sensitive, best to participate less.
Sitting at Wei Qian’s table, Lin Xu looked around:
"Where’s Niu Chuan? Why isn’t he out for dinner?"
Just after saying that, he saw Niu Chuan striding out of the kitchen with a bamboo basket filled with small yellow rice cakes.
Is this... a successful modification?
Lin Xu stared at the yellow rice cakes in the basket and activated the Eye of Discrimination.
"Yellow rice date cakes made with millet, white sugar, red dates, etc., Level: Superior."
Damn!
This guy quietly made a Superior level delicacy?
Superior level isn’t easy at all.
It’s the undisputed signature dish even in a big restaurant, and he actually managed to figure it out.
While thinking this, a notification sounded in his mind:
"The host guided an employee to make Superior level snacks, yellow rice date cake, and is rewarded with a Perfect Level teaching and training task exchange card. This card can be used to redeem a Perfect Level teaching and training task, congratulations to the host."
Wow, is there such a good thing?
Now with the devaluation of points, the exchange rate for Perfect Level teaching and training tasks has risen to over a million.
This reward instantly saved me over a million points.
Thinking about it, it’s quite exciting.
Moreover, the points task for teaching and training has also made progress, not only gaining two points but also getting an additional three points.
This might be why there’s an extra reward for not improving through the teaching and training task.
However, the prizes for points exchange have never been revealed, so there’s somewhat a lack of motivation to farm points.
"Boss, try this. It’s the improved yellow rice date cake, made into a date shape. I was thinking of brushing it with red beet juice, but decided it wasn’t necessary."
Lin Xu nodded:
"Indeed, it’s not necessary. The quality of our millet is so high, covering it with color would be a bit counterproductive."
He put down his chopsticks, picked up a date-shaped yellow rice date cake and broke it open to reveal two pitted dates inside, which looked very tempting.
Compared to the date paste from the morning, the aroma of the dates was milder, but smelled naturally fragrant and was quite pleasant.
Unlike date paste, where the fragrance of the fat was too strong and almost overpowered the actual date flavor.
He took a bite, the millet was still soft and sticky, with a faint sweet taste, and the red dates, having been cooked in sugar water, appeared whole but were actually soft to eat, providing a balance between texture and ease on the teeth, quite nice.
"Delicious, this taste is fantastic."
Lin Xu took a couple of bites and felt more and more satisfied with each bite.
Also, because these rice cakes were small, finishing them left a desire for more.
"Niu Chuan, your skills are truly remarkable, how did you make them so delicious?"
Niu Chuan felt a bit sheepish from Lin Xu’s praise, and he explained:
"Back home, we have a tradition of making this kind of millet dish. I just followed the way my mom taught me, soaking the millet thoroughly in hot water, then pounding it until it gets sticky, wrapping it with red dates, and steaming it."
It may sound simple, but Niu Chuan making it so tasty is no ordinary feat.
Lin Xu thought about it seriously, perhaps it’s because of Niu Chuan’s strong hands. He might pound the soaked millet more thoroughly, making it stickier, softer, and with a better texture.
Plus, the steam cabinet in the kitchen provides even heat, resulting in this Superior level delicacy.
Previously, Cart and Xu Xinhua said Niu Chuan hasn’t done anything significant in the kitchen for years, but now it seems like he hadn’t chosen the right direction.
With someone built like him, they should learn pastry.
After all, compared to hot kitchen, the primary requirement for pastry is strength. Someone strong has an advantage whether kneading dough or rolling it out.
Thinking of this, he said to Niu Chuan:
"Let’s shoot a video together tomorrow afternoon to promote this yellow rice date cake, we’ll launch it once the video is aired."
"Alright!"
Receiving acknowledgment made Niu Chuan very happy.
Lin Xu inquired again:
"Are there just these yellow rice date cakes? Are there more?"
"Yes, there’s another basket in the steam cabinet... we made several before, tasted them and they turned out good, so we made more to let everyone try it."
"Later, pack some for me in a takeaway box, I’ll take some to the elders at home."
"Sure, no problem. I’ll pack it up right away."
Hearing this, Niu Chuan was about to head to the kitchen to pack, but was stopped by Lin Xu:
