Looking at Jin Nuannuan standing in front of him, Fu Yu felt like he had seen it all.

Talking behind someone’s back only to run into the person, yet still putting on such a calm demeanor.

In this kind of situation, shouldn’t you say something to smooth things over?

Fu Yu didn’t need an apology; it’s just that he saw a trace of disdain in Jin Nuannuan’s eyes...

It seemed she didn’t care for Fu Yu or his therapeutic dishes at all.

That’s exactly how Fu Yu felt now.

Fu Yu couldn’t help but shake his head, turned around, and was about to leave following Yao Shi.

At this moment, Jin Yang hurried to the door, somewhat unable to maintain a composed appearance.

However, he handled it well enough and quickly greeted Fu Yu: ”Chef Fu! Are you here specifically to see us?”

Fu Yu shook his head: ”No, I’m just heading to the kitchen.”

Jin Yang gave Jin Nuannuan a feigned angry glare and explained: ”She’s upset because her cat got lost. Whenever it’s mentioned, she loses her temper. Chef Fu, please don’t take it to heart!”

At the mention of the lost cat, Jin Nuannuan’s face became even gloomier, and with a cold snort, she said nothing.

Fu Yu shook his head and, without saying anything, turned and left.

You’re in a bad mood and lash out at others. It’s understandable, if small-minded.

But saying such things is a bit inappropriate.

No one forced you to come and order therapeutic dishes.

You came voluntarily, eager to spend money for treatment, yet acting dismissive and condescending—isn’t that interesting?

Anyway, this order for therapeutic dishes is just a one-time deal.

For such customers, if we can avoid collaborating in the future, it’s better not to.

Such people!

Absolutely ungrateful.

...

The back kitchen had some commonly used medicinal ingredients in stock.

Fu Yu checked and found some raw Rehmannia, no Magnolia bark, but there was Angelica, though in insufficient quantity.

Pearl powder was readily available.

Fu Yu instructed Zhang Zhen to liaise with the procurement officer to specify the types and quantities of medicinal ingredients needed.

After arranging all the preparations, when the assistant placed the prepared ingredients on the kitchen bench, Fu Yu wasted no time and started cooking right away.

Steaming duck with raw Rehmannia isn’t particularly difficult; the key lies in balancing the weight of the whole duck with the medicinal ingredients.

As well as controlling the heat and timing.

Fu Yu selected the music restaurant’s unique plump fat ducks.

The duck’s meat is firm and flavorful, making it ideal for stewing and steaming.

Through countless repetitions in the teaching practice class, Fu Yu became very skilled at cooking therapeutic dishes.

Just thinking about cooking steamed duck with raw Rehmannia, his hands could autonomously proceed with the cooking.

Every step and action is ingrained in his bones and blood.

At times like this, Fu Yu couldn’t help but sigh; the system repeated so many times in the teaching class, it truly was for my own good.

The assistant had already removed all the feathers, down, and internal organs from the duck.

Fu Yu placed the cleaned whole duck on the cutting board.

Originally, to cook steamed duck with raw Rehmannia, you would rub soy sauce over the duck, fry it in oil,

Then coat the inside and outside of the duck’s abdominal wall with spices, fill the abdominal cavity with slices of raw Rehmannia,

And then steam it with high heat until done, carve it, and serve with sauce.

But given Jin Nuannuan’s situation, Fu Yu adjusted the cooking method on the spot.

He deboned the whole duck and marinated it with salt, pepper, and yellow wine.

During the marination, he peeled and sliced raw Rehmannia and Chinese yam, placing them into a muslin bag at the bottom of the bowl.

Then he turned to prepare a pearl powder egg white mask.

This mask, Fu Yu had made many times before, not only for Wang Nuannuan and Liu Yici but also for the poor female student Zhang Xueyao.

Customers had positive feedback after using it, boosting Fu Yu’s confidence.

Fu Yu cracked an egg to separate the egg white.

He put an appropriate amount of pearl powder into a bowl, added the egg white, and then a bit of cucumber juice, mixing it well.

This was also something taught by the system in the teaching practice class.

Real pearl powder has a faint fishy smell, combined with the strong protein smell of egg white, which some customers might find unpleasant.

Adding a bit of cucumber juice not only masks the smell but also enhances the effect.

Lemon juice could also be used, but as some people have sensitive skin, Fu Yu always preferred the milder cucumber juice.

After mixing, Fu Yu placed the pearl egg white mask into a custom ceramic bottle made by the restaurant, tightly screwed the lid.

The ceramic bottles were custom-made in advance by the music restaurant, looking like a high-end dark green ceramic bottle, just small enough for one use inside.

Egg whites don’t store well, so when customizing, Fu Yu set the usage frequency to once a week specifically.

To align sales, after hastily handing the mask to customers the first time, Yao Shi introduced a sanitary and reliable brand of compressed masks through a friend.

However, the outer packaging was uniformly replaced with boxes featuring the music restaurant’s logo.

The level of presentation was immediately elevated.

Fu Yu was quite impressed with this custom packaging.

Just look at Chef Yao’s business acumen, no wonder he can make big money.

The procurement officer happened to return at this time.

With all the medicinal ingredients in place, Fu Yu started cooking the stewed pig trotters with Magnolia bark promptly.

Magnolia bark is good stuff; it promotes energy flow, improves circulation, and aids in scar healing.

While cooking this dish in the teaching practice class, Fu Yu even thought of making it for his parents during holiday breaks to nourish them.

As people age, they are prone to gastrointestinal stagnation, and this medicinal dish is just right to relieve that.

With a fleeting thought, Fu Yu picked up the cleaned pig trotters, quickly focusing.

The pig trotters were placed in a clay pot, and the medicinal ingredients were cleaned, packed in a muslin bag, and boiled with the pig trotters in clear water.

After a high boil, it was simmered until the ingredients were tender and cooked.

Amid the rich aromas of various dishes in the kitchen, an indescribable medicinal scent soon wafted.

A bit bitter, with a strange undertone.

No need to ask; everyone in the kitchen knew Fu Yu was cooking therapeutic dishes again.

While the pig trotters were simmering, Fu Yu turned to check on the marinated duck.

The timing was just right.

The deboned duck was placed directly into a large bowl, pressed on top of the wrapped medicinal ingredients, and steamed.

Fu Yu’s actions during cooking were smooth and fluid, focused.

He didn’t notice Zhang Zhen, whose mouth had gaped in shock since seeing Fu Yu debone the whole duck, hadn’t closed it until the duck was placed in the pot.

Zhang Zhen watched the deboned duck placed into the large bowl.

The skill, the attention to detail, the speed.

It’s just...

It makes one question life’s possibilities.
