The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 399: Selling Buns

The profession of gourmet scriptwriter really has various changes, but unfortunately, Zhou Yu could only unconditionally upgrade to the intermediate level. And after reaching the intermediate level, many variants appeared. For example, Comedy buns are a special kind of food. Although intermediate gourmet script writers can make them, they must get special recipes.

Since it is a chef's task, it is natural to find the twin chefs of Kaka and Benben.

Kaka and Benben are not food scriptwriters, but they are also chefs. They have collected many recipes in the past. Unfortunately, there was no special recipe.

Kaka tilted his head and said: "If you narrow down to comedy buns, there are roughly three ways to obtain special recipes. The first one is that if you can get any one of Pao Ding cooking equipment, the highest treasure in the chef world, you can upgrade to a senior chef and you can freely choose to master any special recipes. If you can collect a complete set, God of Cooking will no longer be a dream."

This requirement seems very difficult. Not to mention that they could leave the city now, and they couldn't take the little people out to adventure, even if you could run around the world, no one knows where this rare treasure will appear.

Since this method would not work, Zhou Yu continued to listen to other methods of Kaka: "The second method, the current Luhua City also can't do it. That is to buy recipes directly from the Chefs Associations of Starlight City or Fallen City. The last method is to sit back and wait for the recipes to appear, or if you make some more steamed buns, you may gain sight into making comedy buns."

After talking for a long time, the last suggestion turned out to be relying on his luck.

In this way, God knows when the recipe will appear. In the past, in order to make a script, he had been working very hard for one month, but he never learned any special recipes. However, this is the only method he could use at the moment.

Helplessly, Zhou Yu found Uncle Gui: "I am trying to figure out how to make comedy buns at the moment, you need to be patient. If I really haven't figured it out before you finish all the jokes, you need to make do with the old jokes. If it doesn't work, just chat and play the previous recording."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh. It is really difficult to please a wayward employee who doesn't like to tell repeated jokes. Regarding this, Xiao Qian is much better. Her ability - Sister Confidant doesn't require any additional condition to trigger. It is just her aptitude was slightly inferior to Uncle Gui.

In any case, in order for the radio station to keep running and maintain its current popularity, comedy buns must be developed as soon as possible.

Then Zhou Fu got the news that Boy Yu went to Tung Fook Mansion to work in the kitchen once again.

The last time he worked in Tung Fook Mansion, he trained those chefs to cook many new dishes. Later on, he also became a great dessert chef and developed the Emperor Dessert franchise, so no one would doubt Boy Yu's cooking skills. However, they just didn't know why Boy Yu always did things intermittently. He didn't seem to have any perseverance at all.

Under normal circumstances, he just cooked food for himself and his family, but occasionally he would also create some strange new dishes, such as the Emperor Dessert franchise, or the fest on the balcony. .

And this time, it is Bun time!

Saying he was cooking, but in fact, Zhou Yu only made one kind of food, and that was steamed buns. Vegetarian buns, meat buns, char siu buns, Xiaolong buns, soup buns, and even strange buns that were obviously invented by Zhou Yu himself. He made a lot of them in the kitchen every day, and then let the maid Xiao Mi push the trolley, wandering around in the amusement park in maid outfits selling buns.

Poor Xiao Mi yelled timidly while pushing the cart, just to satisfy his master Zhou Yu's little mischievous taste.

Zhou Yu's steamed buns, like desserts, will not make people disappointed, however, they don't have the fancy appearances of Emperor Desserts, and they all look like regular steamed buns. However, the taste is really good, and the little maid is pure and cute. It attracted the attention of many tourists. 

Zhou Yu's selling method was also capricious. He went fishing by himself and then asked Xiao Mi to take a lap around the amusement park with the trolley, and whether the buns would be sold out or not, she needed to push the trolley back. If there were just some buns left, Zhou Yu would eat those buns himself, but if there were a lot of buns left, then he would give extra buns to Qin Zhuan studio. 

The revenue of the buns would be split equally between Xiao Mi and Zhou Yu. Although it would not be a lot, for Xiao Mi, having an extra income was not a bad thing, so she was willing to listen to Zhou Yu's instructions.

However, what made Zhou Yu feel distressed was his Moe coin.

The raw materials for making steamed buns were all from small farms. With the wheat alone, he had grown many types. Script food seeds were much more expensive than ordinary food seeds. In order to develop the comedy bun recipe, hundreds of Moe coins were invested almost every day. For Luhua City, which had no income from tourism, this was also a big expense.

Zhou Yu didn't know how long this kind of situation would continue.

As the days went by, the daily routine of Luhua City after it returned to a quiet city became very ordinary. It was no longer as brilliant as the bustling city that it used to be. What Zhou Yu liked to do the most right now was to cook a table of delicacies and then become a mini person. Then his entire family in the ACG world would surround the big table to enjoy a huge feast.

The main people in Luhua City would normally also join the feast from time to time.

"Boss, how is the progress on comedy bun development?"

The Chubby Third Dragon Prince was hugging a chicken leg, chewing it, while asking Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was lying in a pan that was filled with warm water with only a pair of swimming trunks, as if it was a hot spring. Next to him was the Old Dragon King, who also liked this kind of 'small hot spring' a lot. Every time he would soak himself in the warm water until the water became cold.

"Don't get me started. After making a lot of steamed buns, I only learned a special recipe called "Lyric Soup". It is a kind of soup that is used to compose lyrics for music."

Zhou Yu was very frustrated. He was clearly aiming for comedy, but how did he end up making a lyric soup?
