After the colorful tea party concluded, Qin Huai went ho and analyzed it for a long ti.
Originally, when Gong Liang woke up, it was supposed to mark the end of the first phase of work; instead, it beca countless new tasks urgently urging to be completed.
Now, Qin Huai's attribute panel looks like this:
Player Na: Qin Huai
Unlocked Illustrations: 10/12
Skills:
Yeast Handling (Advanced): Your yeast handling skills have surpassed 96% of the snack masters nationwide. (99831/100000)
Filling (Master Level): Your filling skills have surpassed 98% of the excellent snack masters nationwide. (191187/1000000)
Finger Skill (Advanced): You can finally make so snacks worth looking at. (46517/100000)

Fire Control (Advanced): As a pastry chef, you really understand fire control. (36278/100000)
Food Tasting (Advanced): Alright, you're quite skilled at tasting. (Cannot be upgraded)
Managent (Interdiate): You can run a business well enough not to lose money. (5966/10000)
Lie (Master Level): You can say the right things to people and ghosts alike! (897217/1000000)
Judging by the values alone, Qin Huai's yeast handling is indeed close to leveling up, needing just 169 more experience points, nearing the Master Level of Dough.
As for the actual operations...
Qin Huai can only say there's hope to raise the yeast handling to Master Level before Cheng Gong's holiday ends.
The way these basic skills gain experience is very unstable. On fast days, you can gain hundreds or even thousands (like for Lie), but on slow days, especially when nearing an upgrade, it may not even increase by one in two or three days.
Qin Huai, having battled wits with the basic panel for so long, has occasionally grasped its upgrade pattern—
Ignore it.
This experience value loves to go against the player's will. Qin Huai wants to improve Knife Skills, it skyrockets Fire Control; Qin Huai wants to improve Fire Control, it skyrockets Finger Skill; Qin Huai wants to improve Finger Skill, it skyrockets Filling. In short, it never lets Qin Huai have his way. The more Qin Huai desires to upgrade, the less it upgrades. When Qin Huai is about to give up, it suddenly levels up.
This pattern has resulted in Qin Huai developing a strong tendency to slack off whenever he's about to level up.
Effort may not bring rewards, but slacking off might bring surprises.
Honestly, Qin Huai has been slacking off for a while.
Since returning to Shan City, he's been sustainably slacking off, not without the influence of Zhao Cheng'an, but essentially as a strategy against the ga system.
The effects of slacking off aren't great right now.
The yeast handling still needs 169 experience points to level up. The yeast isn't anxious, but Qin Huai is getting a bit anxious.
Qin Huai wasn't in a hurry to complete the main quest before; he thought everything should co naturally. The A Level snacks were like the moon in the sky, visible with a glance but unreachable, not even with wings.
Now Qin Huai thinks, if you can't reach it with wings, why not build a rocket? Wouldn't a rocket take you up there? There are ways to solve more problems than there are problems themselves.
Let's just say that the mild pressures from Chen Huihong, Luo Jun, and Shi Dadan had so positive effect, especially Shi Dadan's. When Qin Huai went ho to review the day's tea party, Shi Dadan's words kept echoing in his mind.
"But Qin Huai's skills are indeed a bit weaker than Xu Nuo's. It would be great if Qin Huai's skills were as good as Xu Nuo's."
Qin Huai doesn't really want to admit it, but he had to admit a little that he was sowhat vulnerable.
Old Shi, am I not your favorite snack master?
Back in Gusu, in Hangzhou, even when you first arrived in Shan City, you ate any snack and said it was good, finished everything on the plate, and waited at the kitchen door every day for snacks, didn't you?
Just wait, once I get yeast handling to Master Level, I'll show you what it ans for Qin Huai's skills to be as good as Xu Nuo's.
.
The next morning, as usual, Qin Huai arrived at Yunzhong Restaurant at 4 AM to start work.
Today, Qin Huai ca to work determined to gain 30 points in yeast handling skill level. At this stage, ordinary buns and stead bread are difficult to gain skill levels from anymore; only various dumplings, which Qin Huai is not very familiar with, allow a higher efficiency of skill level increase.
But Qin Huai didn't plan to make dumplings.
Firstly, he couldn't do it well. For Qin Huai, dumplings are still a bit difficult at the mont. Previously at Zhiwei Restaurant, whenever Qin Huai practiced dumplings, Master Zhou would be there watching, ready to point out mistakes and correct them promptly.
Dumplings require a master's presence, a high-difficulty snack that needs hands-on guidance. Currently, there's no master watching over Qin Huai, so practicing alone might lead to deviation.
Qin Huai also didn't like making dumplings.
As soone who has seen the world, trained in high-end at cooking restaurants, and gold-blazed through the top pastry restaurant, Master Qin, having sailed through thousands of challenges, still remains a breakfast chef upon return.
In tis of determination and strength, Qin Huai still wanted to make breakfast.
He just loves making buns and stead bread.
You could say that starting from 5:20 AM, the stears in the Yunzhong Restaurant's back kitchen never stopped. Various buns with different fillings and a variety of stead bread, mixed with shumai, stead dumplings, wontons, and coconut mooncakes continuously erged from the stears and ovens. When Xu Tuqiang and the leading group of morning joggers arrived at 6 o'clock, they were dumbfounded, thinking their watches were broken and mistakenly believing it was already seven.
Upon realizing the ti was not wrong, but rather that Master Qin had put forth a strong effort and decided to reward new and old custors with a limited-ti breakfast promotion, Xu Tuqiang and the morning joggers were still a little stunned.
