Food: Randomly set up stalls, even the little guy is drooling.

"I'm here to..." Lu Feng hadn't finished speaking when he was tied up and hit with a stick again.

Now he finally saw clearly that the culprit was the rolling pin in the old man's hand.

"What are you still spacing out for?" The old man glared at Lu Feng. "If you don't finish kneading the dough on time, you're not getting breakfast!"

After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Lu Feng then had time to observe his surroundings. It was a modern kitchen, which didn't look like a modern place.

A brick stove with several openings of varying sizes sits atop a deep cast iron pot about three feet in diameter. Boiling water rises from the bottom of a large wooden steamer, producing a continuous and steady whooshing sound.

He himself was facing a wooden cutting board, on which was the task the old man had given him: to make dough.

"It's just kneading dough, is it really that big of a deal?" Lu Feng muttered to himself, rubbing the burning back of his head.

Just then, a boy sneaked in through the door. Seeing that no one was around, he said to Lu Feng, "Feng, why aren't you finished yet? Did Master scold you again?"

"Who are you?" Lu Feng looked at the other person blankly.

"Did your master beat you so badly you went mad?" The other person stepped forward, looking at the bump on the back of Lu Feng's head, and asked with concern, "I'm Aman. It's almost dawn now. I saw that you hadn't sent the dough to rest, so I came to check on you."

The boy named Aman looked down and exclaimed, "Good heavens, you haven't even kneaded a single dough ball properly!"

"Let's begin." Lu Feng started working right away.

"Stop! Stop!" Aman quickly stopped him. "Have you forgotten everything your master taught you?"

Lu Feng was bewildered again. "Isn't it just a matter of pressing and pressing until it's done?"

The other person sighed, "Ah Feng, being able to become an apprentice at Xie's Steamed Buns is a rare opportunity for us! If you don't learn well, you'll be kicked out."

Lu Feng was still quite confused. "Jie's steamed buns?"

Only then did the other party notice Lu Feng's odd behavior. "You forgot about this too? Xie's Steamed Buns! The best steamed buns in the whole world! Master Xie Lu is the number one master pastry chef in the World Culinary Competition!"

Is this the place the system arranged? There's such a thing as a culinary convention in modern history? Lu Feng realized he felt like he had transmigrated, and there was just too much information he needed to know.

Lu Feng suddenly realized what was happening and said repeatedly, "I remember now, I remember now, but I don't have as good a foundation as you, so I haven't learned it yet. Why don't you teach me?"

Ah Man was just a boy, and when he heard what he said, he felt relieved. "Then I'll only teach you once, so you have to watch carefully."

Ah Man used both hands in unison, pressing down evenly with the heels of his palms. His hands were gentle yet strong, as if giving the dough a spa treatment. In no time, the surface of the dough became smooth and delicate.

"Is that all?"

"Did you understand what I just saw?" Aman asked. "The Jie family's kneading method emphasizes pounding, kneading, slapping, pressing, and rubbing, which is a bit more complicated than the usual methods. But when making steamed buns, the main methods are kneading and pressing."

"Okay, I understand, teach me slowly."

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"I've learned it!" Lu Feng said confidently. Through the teaching just now, his proficiency had increased, and he felt that he could do it again.

First, knead the dough. This involves pressing the dough with your palm and pushing it outwards with force. This is the most basic action.

Then you need to knead the dough. Turn your hands into fists and cross them over the dough to knead it. You need to use more force to increase the dough's elasticity and make it smoother and shinier.

"Phew." Lu Feng looked at the dough he had kneaded. "How's it going? Should we take a break?"

To everyone's surprise, Aman covered his face and said speechlessly, "Your dough has uneven air pockets and cracks. If the master sees it, he'll probably kick you out."

"No way?" Lu Feng exclaimed in surprise, "The old man just said that if we don't complete the mission, we won't get breakfast."

Aman looked at Lu Feng with sympathy, "Our shop sells six thousand buns a day! We have to knead 300 jin of flour every day, and that's 100 dough balls of this size!"

Lu Feng asked in surprise, "We have to knead all of this?"

"If we tried to make this, people would laugh their heads off." Aman sighed. "Things made like ours are not allowed to use the Xie family name and are sold cheaply."

Lu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that in such a short time, he would be asked to make the most delicious steamed buns in the world. It was quite unbelievable.

Aman was still nagging, "If I hadn't gone in to be wrapped by others, you would have been beaten up long ago! Not counting this, you still need 8 more dough balls."

Lu Feng was completely dumbfounded, not expecting such a large workload. "How much time do we have left?"

Aman scratched his head and thought for a moment, "Half an hour?"

"Aman, please help me again, I beg you." Lu Feng almost knelt down before Aman.

When the old man wandered back into the kitchen, Aman kindly helped Lu Feng with the processing.

The old man stepped forward and examined it, looking rather dissatisfied. "With this kind of quality, don't ever say you're a disciple of the Xie family when you go out!"

He gave Aman a disapproving look. "Aman, let him do it himself!"

Then, turning to Lu Feng, she scolded, "You can eat again when you can make dough like Aman's!"

After the old man and Aman left the house.

Lu Feng shook his hands, and suddenly he realized that after kneading the dough for so long, his hands were not sore at all.

"Is this the benefit of dreams?" Lu Feng murmured. "If so, and I also have a system shop and a recycling function, wouldn't I be able to keep training indefinitely?"

Without further ado, Lu Feng bought flour and other raw materials from the system and got to work!

Pastry experience points +1.

Pastry experience points +1.

Heaven rewards diligence. As long as I keep kneading the dough, I'll have an endless supply!

He just found out that he should have gotten up at 4 a.m. to knead the dough, but Aman, who is a very meticulous person, got up at 3 a.m.!

However, when I unleash the system, the crown of the Scroll King will soon be bestowed upon me.

When Lu Feng was called out to help sell steamed buns, his pastry skills had quietly reached Lv.0 (36/1000). Lu Feng discovered that as his proficiency increased, his understanding also increased. He was afraid that he would be able to upgrade to Lv.1 in less than a month.

The steamed buns from Xie's Steamed Bun Shop were indeed very popular. Even though they couldn't use a signboard and could only sell them from a small stall outside the shop, they were all gone in a flash.

After selling all the steamed buns, Aman quickly shared the good news with Lufeng, "Afeng, Master Jie is going to teach me how to make steamed buns!"

"Ha!" A voice sneered from the side. "You two lowly punks, who doesn't know you got into this shop through connections?"

Seeing that the two remained silent, the man continued to mock, "Especially you, Ah Feng, the dough you knead, even if you make buns, are only good for feeding dogs!"
