Chapter 147 Chubby Li’s Doubts.
Talent is really an insurmountable gap. Zhou Yu was trying everything possible to get brain energy, so he could cheat, but Wu Yun simply completed the intermediate level carpentry just by herself. This was like a player, who paid a lot of money in-game, was showing his strength in a square, but then he was killed by a player, who didn’t pay anything. All the feelings he had at that moment was just dumbfounded.
What else could he say? He could only accept his fate. After all, he wasn’t as smart as other people.
As predicted by the carpenter beaver, although Wu Yun was not confident, she successfully passed the exam and became a professional carpenter. Normally, at this time, they should give her a “master level secret manual”, but it had too much content. It was impossible to complete it within a short amount of time. Therefore, Zhou Yu could only buy some books, that the carpenter beaver recommended, and let Wu Yun study those books first, while he was making the manual.
Although it was indeed hard work, the reward was also very big. The amount of brain energy he received was a lot more than before. The amount he had received last time lasted about one month, this time, it was definitely enough for three months.
Wu Yun had passed the exam, but the one that was the happiest was the manager of the gift store – Xiyue. At present, in the small amusement park, except for the amusement park’s entertainment facility, the most popular area was the gourmet street. The reason why the sales of the gift store had been lagging behind, was mainly due to the shortage of supply.
Actually, the handicraft was still very popular. However, it was a shame that currently, there was only one craftsman, which was Wu Yun. But, the demand exceeded the supply, a lot of time they had to find some other small handicrafts from the nearby villages. Now that Wu Yun had completed the so-called professional exam, Xiyue immediately requested to recruit apprentices.
Zhou Fu had been away on business trips recently, so Xiyue could only talk to Zhou Yu.
“Gifts store is not some grocery stores. Only the exquisite handicrafts, such as housing models and ship models, are matching the theme of our small amusement park. How can we always sell bamboo baskets and straw hats? It is so lame!”
Xiyue complained in a long face. The small gift store was beautiful and cozy. Customers could even sit down drinking coffee while enjoying the views of being surrounded by delicate mini models. However, most of those models were not for sale. And the one that they sold all came from the nearby village, the models that Wu Yun made was not enough at all.
In particular, the ship models that similar to the ones that appeared in the movie “fruit pirates” and the movie “Dragon’s treasure”, every day, there would be tourists coming to inquire, but only once in a few days would there be a ship model. And as soon as it was put on the shelf, it would be sold immediately. It was such a great business opportunity, they should make good use of it. If the popularity of the movie died down, they would not be sold at such a good price.
“Er… Wu Yun’s ability is not a problem now, but can she be a good teacher?”
Indeed, Wu Yun’s Otaku power was higher than Zhou Yu’s, she was also very shy. Suddenly facing so many students at once, she might be very nervous.
“I’ll help her, we will recruit ten apprentices who have some experiences in carpentry, and they will only be responsible for making parts. Miss. Wu will check it. If they have potentials, then we can train them further. In terms of products, they can be finished products or just parts that customers can assemble themselves. Many customers like this type very much. Customers can also customize the style they like and we can mail it to them.”
Seeing Xiyue planed to carry on talking, Zhou Yu immediately waved his hands and said, “okay, as long as Wu Yun agrees to accept the students, you can accept them. I don’t manage recruitment. Just talk to Uncle Fu.”
Then he ran away quickly, making Xiyue sigh that what everyone said was true. The little indeed boss knew nothing about business and was not willing to touch it. All he knew was to have fun, Either making an animation or playing with a group of kids every day, living a free and unfettered life.
All the people in the park envied the little boss, that he was free from all the concerns and troubles, but he was still able to make a lot of money. Moreover, they also did not understand, that he was playing around for the whole day, how exactly did he make the studios outside so loyal to him.
After having enough brain energy, it was indeed much faster in learning anything, no matter the cooking skill or the lance technique, his learning progress could be described as flying. After only a week, it was possible for Zhou Yu to fry a dish that made the twin chefs satisfied, and in terms of the lance technique, at least, he would no longer be beaten as badly as the first day.
Although he only learned a stir-fry green vegetable dish, Zhou Yu couldn’t be more proud of himself. On the exact same day, he placed the dish he fried secretly amongst other dishes and then watched the employees’ reactions on the side. Those, who tried the dish, immediately tasted the difference and complimented the chef’s cooking skill.
The chubby chef Li and the other few chefs were sweating profusely.
It’s so weird! A week ago, the dish he fried was either not cooked properly or overcooked. But now he has reached a level of the chef in the star-rated restaurants. It was even better than some of them. If it weren’t for the fact that they had been watching him on the side every day, no one would believe that there would be such an incredible thing.
If he continued to practice like this, it was estimated that within a year, he would become a master chef.
Now, no one felt awkward when the little boss was working in the kitchen. Almost everyone was looking forward to the new dish that the little boss prepared. Seeing Zhou Yu’s cooking skill was improved so fast, it made other chefs wonder how he did it.
One day, seeing Zhou Yu was preparing the dishes that they had never seen him cooked before, the chubby chef Li finally couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked, “little boss, where did you learn those dishes?”
This was the most strange place, the little boss did not go out much, it was impossible for him to learn his cooking skills from somewhere else. There were only a few chefs in the amusement park, and everyone knew each other’s skills, so they all knew that no one in the amusement park had the ability to teach the little boss.
However, the little boss’s cooking skill was improving day by day. And now, he could even make a table of good food alone, and every dish was so delicious, that it was as good as those star rated restaurants.
Zhou Yu, of course, also liked to help other people. However, the existence of Kaka and Benben couldn’t be disclosed, but the game he played, he could still share with them, “it is a game I played, it has a lot of different dishes. I just want to try if I can make those dishes in real life.”
This answer, the chubby chef Li did not believe it at all. If playing a cooking game could make one become a chef, then it meant that playing a flying game would make one become a pilot? Don’t be silly. That is not possible.
Seeing the chubby chef Li did not believe it, Zhou Yu specially took the game disc that contained the game “fun recipes” to Tung Fook mansion, and played it in front of them. It made them gasped in amazement.
It is indeed a cooking game. It is just that no one knew which master chef made it. Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and all other cuisines around China were all included. Although each cuisine category only contained a few recipes, if they were added up, it was still quite many. After learning those dishes, it would not be impossible to find a small shop and become a head chef there.
The game is very detailed, and the changes from raw food to cooked food in the CG screen is clear at a glance, and the heat level, and saltiness or the blandness are also clearly marked. How long a dish needs to be cooked, what kind of steps are needed, the amount and the timing of seasoning, all of which are very clear.
