The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World

Pang Bowen went to the front to handle some matters.

Baking area.

Fu Yu and the others were still busy with their tasks.

Making desserts is a meticulous task, requiring attention to detail and quick hands. Although the quantity is not large, the variety is extensive.

While Fu Yu was working seriously, an electronic notification suddenly sounded in his ear:

[Barbecue Career Change Task: Join the Food Association within a month. Task completed, reward: one Lucky Wheel spin.]

Fu Yu was stunned, the task reward came too suddenly. He paused for a moment before realizing that the Food Association had officially accepted him.

However, since he had already received the good news from Xiao Xiao, Fu Yu’s excitement quickly shifted from joining the Food Association to the task reward.

Lucky Wheel!

It’s been a while since I’ve spun it.

This thing is great; whatever comes up is skill points!

Fu Yu chose to spin it.

The next second, the reward result from the Lucky Wheel was displayed.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining one elective subject teaching practice class key.]

Not bad!

Fu Yu was pleasantly surprised.

The Lucky Wheel once again did not disappoint.

Having gone through many teaching practice classes, Fu Yu’s feelings towards this reward had evolved from love-hate to anticipation.

Each learning experience gained through these cooking skills has been immensely beneficial to his culinary career.

As his cooking skills improved, Fu Yu’s awareness began to change as well.

To achieve success, one must strive to improve oneself.

The teaching practice class is a necessary path to success.

Fu Yu now sees this very clearly.

Since the reward was obtained from the barbecue career change task, Fu Yu felt that this teaching practice class key should be put to good use.

After all, he hasn’t yet successfully attained the title of Barbecue Master.

With that thought in mind, Fu Yu suddenly remembered something and brought up his personal attribute panel, looking for the barbecue career change title section.

Indeed, he saw a red ”[?]”

[Barbecue Master: Barbecue Career Change Title:

Profession 1: Seafood Barbecue: Professional Level: 70 points.

Profession 2: Meat Barbecue: Professional Level: 55 points.

Profession 3: Vegetable Barbecue: Professional Level: 50 points.

Tip: Each additional mastered skill can earn corresponding professional level scores: Basic skill +1 point; Intermediate skill +2 points; Advanced skill +3 points; Master skill +4 points; Perfect skill +5 points.

Tip: Professional skill scores must reach 50 points to learn advanced grilling techniques.

Professional skills reaching 100 points unlock the third profession.]

The third profession?

Fu Yu’s eyes lit up.

Once he completes the Barbecue Master rating, he can unlock a new culinary profession!

Previously, Fu Yu always felt that the system was good to him; now he feels he might just be the system’s illegitimate child!

This pace seems set to cultivate him into a culinary god in the food industry!

If he continues along the path the system has arranged for him, conquering the culinary world isn’t just a dream!

Fu Yu was eagerly rubbing his hands together, anticipating getting off work to start his Barbecue Master training journey.

...

The middle-aged woman, satisfied with the resolution, left in good spirits with her gifted milk dates and discount card.

Pang Bowen didn’t rush back to the baking area but instead immediately took out his phone and started searching online for flour dates.

Upon finding it, it turned out there really was such a dessert.

At first glance at the online pictures, Pang Bowen thought he had searched wrong.

Because what’s depicted on the image is exactly a plate of dates.

Indeed, just an ordinary plate of dates.

But after reading the relevant introduction, Pang Bowen was shocked to find that the dates in the picture weren’t real; they were flour creations.

This is truly ingenious!

It turns out this flour date is not a dessert; it should be categorized as a pastry.

Unexpectedly interesting!

Pang Bowen can confirm that while flour dates are trending online, there’s no physical sale in the Bei’an market yet.

The charm lies in its creativity; it’s intriguing and captivating to have dates made of flour.

As for taste, according to online reviews, it’s fragrant and sticky, with a floury coating but sweet date paste inside.

And as that middle-aged customer mentioned, this flour date has a unique feature: it lacks date skin and pits.

For many who feel date skin scratches the throat or find spitting out date pits troublesome, it’s quite a good substitute.

Pang Bowen sees this as a great business opportunity.

But the problem is, no particularly detailed online tutorial exists for making this precious snack.

While their store’s dessert chef has excellent skills, their expertise lies in various baked goods.

The flour date falls into the domain of pastries, a field white-cloth chefs specialize in.

It’s not that Pang Bowen lacks confidence in his dessert chef, but making these flour dates parallels crossing into another field entirely.

Attempting to figure out how to bake them isn’t an easy endeavor.

Back in the baking area, all pending orders had been completed.

Apprentices and junior workers continued cooperatively baking cake bases.

Meanwhile, Fu Yu was preparing popular late-night snacks like cream puffs, orange yogurt, durian mille-feuille...

Watching Fu Yu expertly mix the ingredients, Pang Bowen spontaneously brought up the customer’s earlier request to return goods.

Fu Yu listened with evident interest: ”Flour dates?”

Pang Bowen nodded, detailed the information he found online.

”It’s a flour-based pastry with a filling, using date paste...”

As Pang Bowen described it, Fu Yu couldn’t resist habitually flipping through a classic old menu.

Unfortunately, there was no cooking information about flour dates in it.

Pang Bowen continued eagerly: ”I dare say, once these flour dates hit the market, they’ll undoubtedly garner rave reviews. Especially now, with the New Year approaching, launching a series of flour date gift boxes is perfectly feasible. Using the flour dates as a gimmick alongside several of our store’s best-selling desserts.”

Undoubtedly, once this set of packages launches, it will win the love and praise of our customers.

Moreover, even after the initial craze subsides, single sales of flour dates can target the growing children and adolescent market.

They say children’s money is easiest to earn these days; seizing this opportunity to earn a fortune isn’t just a dream.

Pang Bowen almost convinced himself entirely.

With an indescribable expectation, he looked at Fu Yu, sincerely asking: ”Chef Fu, can you make these flour dates?”

Fu Yu: ”...” Not really.

”If you manage to make them, why don’t we partner up on this project?”

Fu Yu: ”!” Maybe I can a bit.
