Chapter 570: 568 Sudden Drop in mory (Extra for the Frantically Running Wild Wolf Alliance Hierarch!)
Zheng Da was a master white chef with an internal clock. The peach crisps needed to bake in the oven with both top and bottom heat for 20 minutes, followed by a few minutes of the top heat to brown them. Even though Zheng Da didn’t check his phone or watch, he tid it perfectly and returned to the kitchen to turn on the top heat for the peach crisps, and then he waited on the side.
Jiang Feng was also waiting on the side, slacking off under the pretense of studying.
Ji Xia hadn’t returned, which made Jiang Feng suspect that she didn’t go to the convenience store for oden. She might have gone further to sneak so snacks that she could get for under 20 yuan.
Like fried potato fries, like fried chicken steak, like squid balls, or like cola, Fanta, and Sprite.
Thinking about it, Jiang Feng felt he gave her too much money.
While Jiang Feng’s mind wandered, the peach crisps were ready.
Fresh from the oven and steaming, the peach crisps were too hot to hold, and their delicious scent was irresistible.
Unlike the traditional sll of vegetables, this was a unique bakery aroma from the baked flour and the fatty scent of the pastry, rich but not overpowering, simply evoking the primal craving for carbohydrates and fat.
The sll of the peach crisps filled the entire kitchen, and even the custors at the tables closest to the kitchen caught the scent. They couldn’t help but beckon the waiter, asking if Taifeng Building had recruited a new pastry chef and what dessert was being made that slled so heavenly.
Zheng Da made a batch, which ant one baking tray of these pastries. It was a considerable amount, but they disappeared quickly. Peach crisps, unlike at-filled mooncakes which can fill you up after a few, were more like a snack; you could eat several pieces without feeling anything.
All the kids in the world know that you can never get full from snacks.
When they slled such delicious pastries, nearly everyone in the kitchen couldn’t resist trying a piece, including the two elders.
Crispy on the outside and crunchy on the inside, the crisp was sweet but not cloying. The aroma of the baked flour combined with the fragrance of the pastry made for a delightful mouthfeel, producing crumbs that didn’t fall on your clothes, making the peach crisp a marvelous snack experience for anyone.
After everyone had a share, there was still plenty of the peach crisps left. Jiang Feng divided them into two dishes, leaving one for Ji Xia when she returned and taking the other to Professor Li and the others.
Although Zheng Da arrived early, he spent a lot of ti in the kitchen making the peach crisps. Jiang Feng guessed that Professor Li was probably already there and that Master Huang and Zheng Siyuan must have returned from the pharmacy by now.
True enough, as Jiang Feng ca out of the kitchen carrying the peach crisps, with Zheng Da following, they could see Professor Li, Chen Suhua, Zheng Siyuan, and Master Huang already seated at the table from a distance.
For so reason, there was a young woman in her twenties next to Professor Li holding a file folder, seemingly talking to him from afar.
Master Huang hadn’t quite recovered from his fear of heights, and even after taking dicine to relieve dizziness and nausea, he wasn’t quite himself, sitting by the table looking like a frosted eggplant.
It seed that today’s cable car experience was destined to beco a lifelong shadow over him.
His gaze was vacant, his eyes lifeless, as if he were pondering the aning of life.
But even more vacant than his gaze was that of Zheng Siyuan, whose eyes revealed that he was a pri bachelor.
Seeing Jiang Feng and Zheng Da arriving, Zheng Siyuan politely nodded at them, Master Huang listlessly waved his hand, Professor Li could only nod because he was talking to the young lady, and the most enthusiastic was Chen Suhua, who almost jumped up with excitent.
She was nearly bursting, sitting at a table with so many people and not one of them talking to her.
“Grandfather, grandmother, this is the peach crisp just made by Master Zheng. It’s fresh out of the oven and still fragrant; please eat it while it’s hot,” Jiang Feng said as he placed the peach crisps on the table.
The attention of Zheng Siyuan and Chen Suhua was imdiately captured by the peach crisps.
“Dad, why did you personally make peach crisp today? I rember you haven’t made peach crisp in many years,” Zheng Siyuan asked.
“If you get married, I’ll make you peach crisp every day,” Zheng Da said expressionlessly.
“Oh.” Zheng Siyuan picked up a peach crisp and stuffed it into his mouth, effectively gagging himself so he couldn’t speak.
Chen Suhua also picked up a peach crisp and took a bite.
The girl with the docunt bag beside Professor Li saw that everyone had started eating and hurriedly said, “Mr. Li, I won’t disturb your al. I’ll take these materials back with , thank you very much.”
It looked like she was running errands for the teacher.
“Haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Take a couple of peach crisps for the road, so you don’t get too hungry on the way back to school,” Professor Li said with a smile.
The girl holding the docunt bag hesitated for a mont, grabbed a peach crisp from the plate, and nodded at Professor Li, “Thank you, Mr. Li.”
“Be careful on the road, and if there’s anything you don’t understand about your thesis, co ask anyti. It’s the sa with Mr. Xie being abroad for a while; it’s not convenient to ask him, so co to instead. Don’t be shy, just ask if you have any questions. I’m usually at ho, and you can call anyti without worrying about disturbing .” Professor Li’s attitude towards this girl seed a bit like his attitude towards Jiang Feng; he was rarely so warm to students unless they were juniors like Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but take a closer look at the girl, wondering if she was also a junior of Professor Li, a mber of the Li family.
“Rember to eat it while it’s hot, it’s more delicious that way,” Jiang Feng casually reminded her.
“Ah, okay.” The girl nodded and took a bite without thinking.
“Ding, obtained a mory fragnt of Fang Yaqing.”
Huh?
Who is Fang Yaqing?
“Sir, who is she?” Jiang Feng asked curiously.
“She’s a master’s student ntored by Elder Brother Xie, who recently ran into so trouble with a research project she’s working on for her thesis. Since Elder Brother Xie just went abroad the day before yesterday and won’t be back for so ti, she ca to ask ,” Professor Li explained, “Yaqing studied the sa major as your undergraduate program, so you could consider her an elder sister. If you’re interested, Jiang Feng, you could add her on WeChat and exchange ideas. She might be more familiar with how to write an undergraduate thesis than I am.”
“Oh,” Jiang Feng nodded, not sure how the conversation had turned to undergraduate theses, his mind still preoccupied by the sudden mory fragnt that had appeared.
He had never t Fang Yaqing face to face, had only spoken a sentence to her without even a touch, and the peach crisp hadn’t been made by him. There was no task issued by the ga, so the arrival of this mory was sowhat baffling.
“Sir, I’m going back to the kitchen now,” Jiang Feng said, full of questions as he walked back.
When he reached the entrance to the kitchen, he stopped, changed direction, and headed for the n’s restroom on the second floor.
No, this mory was too strange; he had to take a look at it right away.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to concentrate on anything else; his mind would be completely occupied with figuring out how this mory ca to be, so he had to clear that up first.
This was too illogical; it didn’t fit the basic laws of mory acquisition at all.
