People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

"This... Master, what she did seems to be..."

"You don't need to say anymore..."

At this moment, Chef Wang seemed to have aged hundreds of years. He collapsed to the ground, his face full of melancholy: "I, I made a fatal mistake... It was the oil, right? I used the wrong oil..."

"Yes."

Yue Yan crossed her arms and nodded: "Fried rice should be made with rattan oil, lard or something like that, so that the rice will be fragrant, but you actually added sesame oil in it. Not only is the fragrance not enough, but any careful eater can taste that the aftertaste of the rice grains is a bit bitter.

If you are a novice in the kitchen, it is understandable, but for a chef like you, it is really inappropriate."

"No, it's more than that..."

Master Wang shook his head bitterly. He knew the other party was giving him face by not saying anything else but simply pointing out that the wrong oil was used. But he himself would rather not have that face.

"I can taste it. With the same ingredients, whether it's the egg floss or the rice grains, yours is better than mine. You're a true senior. The title of King of Stir-frying should be given to you, not someone like me... a loser who can't even use the oil correctly. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo...

I'm going to resign from my boss right now... I'll have to spend several more lifetimes learning cooking skills before I can become a master, wuwuwuwuwuwuwu..."

"Master, Master, you can't resign!"

"Yeah, if you run away, how can we finish our apprenticeship? I won't be able to get my diploma!"

Seeing that the old chef who looked ferocious was now crying, several apprentices rushed up to persuade him, and some even picked up their phones to record videos.

The kitchen was in chaos, Yue Yan was really unable to hold back, so she quietly retreated and returned to the private room - the King of Stir-fry... King of Grass, this name sounded unlucky and seemed to lower one's intelligence.

I believe that Chef Wang should be able to come to terms with it. After all, if he hadn't made such a low-level mistake as using the wrong oil, his cooking skills would actually be very good, especially in a chain restaurant that caters specifically to tourists. It's just that he encountered this cheater, so it seems a bit unlucky.

As for the rest of the dishes...if you don't judge them based on the chef's professionalism, they actually tasted pretty good, and most of them were within the normal range.

Yue Yan also drank some white wine with Uncle Yang, which was a rare occasion. However, if she didn't deliberately try to get drunk, her current body would not be able to be affected by any alcohol.

That's not a thousand cups that can last forever, but a huge amount in the physical sense.

It is worth mentioning that the Jizi in this world is very different from the Jizi sister in Honkai Impact 3rd - she hates alcohol and doesn't even want to touch beer. She only drinks sweet rice wine occasionally.

This is normal. After all, the reason why Teacher Jizi developed the habit of drinking is actually because she needs to use drunkenness to numb her body and block the pain caused by the erosion of Honkai energy.

Ji Zi in this world does not have so many deep hatreds, and is truly on the path to her dreams, so naturally she is insensitive to alcohol.

Chapter 135: Special Attack on Ruan Mei Xp - Yue Yan

At this moment, Yue Yan didn't know that her behavior had been filmed by a nosy kitchen apprentice and posted on the interstellar Internet. After having dinner with everyone, she went back home satisfied.

Hiccup~

ding dong~

Just as she arrived at the Starry Sky Train, the phone in her pocket vibrated and made a ding-dong sound, indicating a new friend request.

"Huh? Who would add me as a friend at this time?"

The girl took out her phone and opened the chat app. She saw the person who applied to be added in the friend request list. The avatar used by that person was very interesting. It was a traditional musical instrument wrapped in blooming plum branches, a bit like a pipa.

The name is...

Fallen Plum Blossoms

The message was – “I’m very interested in you.”

Well, now there is no need to think about who is on the other side... She knew the other party's identity the moment she saw the avatar, without a doubt - Genius Club Member #81, Ruan Mei.

It goes without saying that the other party must have obtained his chat software account from Heita.

Pass directly.

As soon as she came up, before Yue Yan could say anything, Ruan Mei took the initiative -

Luo Mei: "Hello, Miss Yue Yan, I hope my sudden invitation to chat doesn't scare you. I'm Ruan Mei, you should have heard of me from the Black Tower."

The girl who dreams of becoming a cooking god: "Yes, Ms. Black Tower told me about your invitation. I'd be happy to meet you. I'm currently in Xianzhou Luofu. I just finished dinner with my friends and will be returning to Black Tower Space Station early the next morning."

Luo Mei: "Well, that's great. This first conversation with you is completely different from what I imagined. I've been looking forward to this for a long time. I must admit that this gives me a little...surprise.

When I was young, I heard about your race from my parents. Since then, I have developed a strong interest in you and even dreamed of encountering ancient beasts.

But unfortunately, after the Twilight War, with the exception of Oboros, who had ascended to godhood and fallen into a deep sleep, there was no trace of such a powerful life form as the Twilight Beast in the universe...

Besides you, what excites me even more is that you are not only the Ancient Twilight Beast, but also the Greedy Envoy. This is really...”

To be honest, being targeted by a genius biological scientist felt a bit creepy. The message he sent reminded Yue Yan of some old horror movies, like Frankenstein...

Here I would like to quote a famous scientist, Veritas Latio: Geniuses are mostly a group of inhuman and indifferent people.

She had no doubt that if given the chance, Ruan Mei would definitely perform various biological experiments on her body.

But she still continued chatting with the other party because she was very sure that the other party would not find this opportunity - there were few people in the universe who could find this opportunity.

The girl who dreams of becoming a chef: "I've heard of your name a long time ago. When talking about you, Heita was very generous with his praises...

I'm not a scientist and have no expertise in this area. I only have a basic understanding of cooking, so I can't discuss academic issues with you... I heard you prefer traditional pastries. I can make some exquisite desserts in advance and bring them to the space station. Would you like to try them then?

The ancient beast of dusk, the envoy of the Greedy Order, and even a chef who can make traditional pastries... If you think about it carefully, this is simply a special attack on Ruan Mei's XP system. Every attribute can accurately poke her heart, making her breathe heavily while chatting.

In fact, what she didn't know was that Yue Yan could actually embroider. She learned this skill from her mother. She used it to kill time in college, but she had little time to use it since she opened the shop.

At the same time, when she was a child, she watched many traditional dramas with her grandmother, mainly Henan Opera, and also watched Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera and the like.

Taking all the above factors into consideration... Yue Yan is simply a natural antagonist to Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei on the other end of the phone didn't know what words to use to describe her emotions at the moment - although she still looked as cold as an iceberg on the surface, and the changes in her facial expressions were more subtle than those of a little green dragon.

But this was actually because she hadn't made any expression other than a blank one in a long time, and forcing it would only make her look very stiff.

She hadn't felt this way for a long time... She vaguely remembered the last time he had spoken to her about the simulated universe in the Black Tower.

"While monitoring a desolate area in space, a space station operative discovered a living ancient beast and brought it back. Would you like to come and see it?"

The moment she heard the news, she seemed to have returned to her cheerful self many years ago when her parents were still alive, walking on the frozen planet and curiously observing all living things.

She once again confirmed the authenticity of the news with Heita - although she knew that the man in front of her would not joke.

After getting a positive answer, she almost wanted to put down everything she was doing and rush to the Black Tower Space Station as quickly as possible to meet the existence that she had been searching for in the universe for countless years - the Ancient Beast of Dusk.

But unfortunately, she is not someone like Heita who gets enthusiastic after three minutes, and she really cannot interrupt the research at hand when she is halfway through...so it has been delayed until now.

She was about to meet Yue Yan in person, but she couldn't help herself, so she added her as a friend in advance. Now, hearing that she wanted to make some exquisite cakes for her was so surprising that a strange sweetness rose in her heart...

Dusk Ancient Beast, a beautiful envoy personally made pastries for her own enjoyment... Is this blissful enough to make one faint really true? Wasn't she really trapped in some kind of illusion after an experiment went wrong?

Although she knew from the beginning that Miss Ancient Beast was a gentle chef who loved cooking, she still felt a little incredible when she actually communicated with her.

She felt that it was time to stop chatting with the other party. There was too much good news and she needed to slow down.

The girl who dreams of becoming a cooking god: "Ms. Ruan Mei? Are you still there?"

Luo Mei: "Sorry, I'm a little... excited right now."

Luo Mei: "That's great, really great, Miss Yue Yan. Although I have many questions I want to ask, now is obviously not the right time.

I will be waiting for you and your pastries at the Black Tower Station. I look forward to tasting them and meeting you."

The girl who dreams of becoming a cooking god: "Well, don't worry, I won't let you down."

……

After finishing the chat, Ruan Mei sat on the chair and put her hand on her forehead - she wanted to calm herself down, but she had to know that even a genius could not control his body and suppress his emotions at will without transformation.

Her fair skin was flushed with emotion, and her mouth opened unconsciously, breathing slowly out.

How long has it been since I lost my composure like this?

she thought.

Oh, by the way, it hasn’t been that long… The last time was when I just heard the news about the ancient beast lady from the Black Tower.

But there is no doubt that she deserves such a loss of composure from me.

At this moment, the voice of the puppet came from beside her——

"Have you talked to her?"

Chapter 136: Pastry Chef Miss Yueyan

"Ah."

Ruan Mei nodded: "I thought I could remain calm enough when chatting with her, but now it seems that I was a little optimistic about my expectations."

"You're not usually the type to react like this."

Heita shrugged his shoulders:

"Ah, but this is quite normal. If you think about it carefully... After searching the universe for such a long time, as if in response to you, the Ancient Dusk Beast that countless people have searched for for countless generations has actually appeared.

Not only did he show up, but he also served as the Greedy Envoy... He was even a chef who could make pastries. Wow, when you think about it, is this some kind of special attack player for you?

What do the young gang members on the space station call this? Against XP?

"Well... that's right."

Ruan Mei shook her head - she had completely calmed down, the blush on her skin faded, and in just a few minutes she turned back into her usual unapproachable, indifferent genius. It was almost impossible to see any human emotion in her beautiful pupils.

It was impossible for her to completely change her personality over the years just because of the appearance of the thing she pursued, so after the excitement, she remained calm, but buried an expectation for Yue Yan in her heart.

She turned to look at the black tower:

"Do you still have any pictures of her?"

"Yes... Her fellow unknown guest, Sanyueqi, was a girl who loved taking photos, so she left behind quite a few... I asked her for some of them through Xing."

"Send it to me, thank you."

……

As for Yue Yan, she was planning to go back to her room to take a break, play some games and then take a nap, but she sighed, went to the kitchen and prepared some snacks for Ruan Mei in advance.

I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Open your phone and place an order for the materials you want on the online shopping platform. After a while, a mechanical bird will deliver the items to you.

She had actually already thought about what to make for the other party... She didn't make many traditional pastries. After all, most college students had little money to spend on such things, and her store didn't sell them, but that didn't mean it was her weakness.

It's just like she said - she knows a little bit of everything.

Add pure coconut milk, sugar, and two pieces of peach leaves into the pot, cut them into pieces and add them in... This thing is produced from the Fengrao Black Deer. It is the golden peach leaves growing on its antlers. It has a unique fragrance. It is a very magical smell that can warm people's hearts like vanilla. Yue Yan likes it very much, so he used it directly as a spice.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cook for three or four minutes, then turn off the heat and let it cool.

Prepare some high-sugar-tolerant dry yeast, three or four grams, dissolve it in warm water, crack eight egg yolks, two whole eggs, and add 8g of taro starch...

This starch is extracted from the potatoes that Xianzhou often eats. Its properties are between cassava and taro. The pearls in Xianren Happy Tea are made of this thing... You can just use cassava starch directly.

Finally, add a little salt to enhance its sweetness and stir slowly until the ingredients are blended.

Remove the spice leaves from the warm coconut milk, pour it into the egg mixture, filter it, and stir again.

Then she could cover it with plastic wrap and let it ferment... This step was crucial for the dessert she was going to make. Theoretically, based on the current temperature in Xianzhou, it would take about an hour and a half to ferment.

"That won't work."

Yue Yan shook her head: "Let it ferment for three hours first."

What she wants to make is a traditional delicacy that was once known as the king of cakes - golden cake.

This Nyonya dish originated in Southeast Asia and was once worth more than gold in Guangdong. It has very high requirements for fermentation time and temperature...

One and a half hours is indeed enough to make it, but it cannot be done well. Fermenting for three hours can give the finished product a hint of sourness unique to fermentation. Compared to pure sweetness, Yue Yan feels that this sweet and sour feeling will be better.

Of course, it cannot be over-fermented. If it is, it will produce a sour and rotten smell and will not be edible.

While waiting for the fermentation, she also prepared other desserts, such as peach cakes, egg yolk cakes, and mung bean cakes... She tried to please Ruan Mei, so that she could get one or two research materials from her. Then she could pack them up and sell them at the Boshi Society. Wouldn't that mean she could achieve financial freedom ahead of time?

Yue Yan thought happily and worked more vigorously.

In addition, there is also a traditional dessert of state banquet level - almond tofu.

This dish is truly suitable for all ages, and it is also simple to prepare. The only ingredients required are almonds, agar, sugar, water and milk.

For almonds, she used sweet almonds and white almonds produced locally in Luofu, with a ratio of 4:
