Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 682 - 350: The Auspicious Beast’s Buff_2

At the age of thirty, he met a girl he liked, got married, and had two sons and a daughter. Apart from the fact that his children, like him, didn’t enjoy studying and felt a headache when they saw words, resulting in poor grades, his wife would often vent her anger on him because of this. Life was pretty much carefree otherwise.

Business wasn’t all smooth sailing, but it was quite profitable.

The reason for his profits wasn’t that Shi Dadan became more savvy, but because he woke up.

As Dang Kang, Shi Dadan, upon waking, had maxed out passive buffs in planting and breeding.

He was involved in the seafood business, not just selling but also breeding. In terms of breeding, no breeder in the entire Guangdong Province could compare with him, even though his breeding scale wasn’t large. Otherwise, he would have long been renowned as the god of breeding.

Over the years, there were attempts by competitors to sabotage him, like poisoning his fish ponds or bribing employees to cut off electricity—some treacherous business rivalry tactics. But under Dang Kang’s passive buff, these tactics were useless. Fish continued to thrive even if poisoned, growing even faster instead. Seafood wasn’t affected by power cuts or oxygen deprivation and even enjoyed some anaerobic exercises.

After several attempts, his competitors gave up, thinking they hit a solid wall. Gradually, no one targeted Shi Dadan anymore, and his business naturally became smooth sailing.

As for the two 4-jin wild yellow fish he gave Cao Guixiang, Shi Dadan wasn’t lying when he said they cost little. He actually made a good profit from the price Cao Guixiang paid, as he caught these yellow fish during a recent sea fishing trip.

The auspicious beast buff is just that powerful, even when fishing, he caught two 4-jin wild yellow fish.

It’s just that Shi Dadan felt a headache when he saw words and didn’t read novels. If he had a bit of interest in writing, writing a sea-faring story would be like child’s play for him.

That wouldn’t be writing a novel, it would be writing a diary.

Compared to Xu Nuo’s explosive news, Shi Dadan’s past and present lives were relatively uneventful.

Qin Huai pondered for a long time on the plane.

First, it can be confirmed that Xu Nuo’s death was very suspicious. He died from a murder disguised as an accident, and Mr. Xu would stop at nothing to find the truth.

As for Wang Gen Sheng, Xu Nuo’s friend, a university graduate and a gold-medal accountant, who is still alive now... Qin Huai believes that if Mr. Xu discovered the truth back then, Wang Gen Sheng would definitely know it. But now, Qin Huai can’t ask him.

No legitimate reason.

Dong Shi investigated so much about Xu Nuo, finding various bizarre causes of death, except the real one. It seems that those who knew, including Mr. Xu, did not want to publicize this matter back then. People didn’t know the truth, plus Xu Nuo, indeed a prominent figure, suddenly died, and years have passed, leading to so many strange versions.

Qin Huai believes if he can complete Wang Gen Sheng’s side mission, tapping into his memory, Xu Nuo must be an important supporting role in Wang Gen Sheng’s memory.

And when Wang Gen Sheng wakes up, Qin Huai can openly ask, and all the truth will naturally be revealed.

Shi Dadan can also get the belated truth he doesn’t yet know, to successfully overcome hardships without adding heart demons or an extra layer of armor.

The current urgent task is to make a Double Crab Bun that meets Wang Gen Sheng’s requirements.

According to Shi Dadan’s information, the Double Crab Bun Wang Gen Sheng ate was most likely made by Xu Nuo. Judging from Xu Nuo wanting to become Master Jing’s apprentice, it’s clear Xu Nuo’s culinary skills weren’t as good as Master Jing’s.

This is very advantageous to Qin Huai. Master Jing’s level is evident from the recipe Qin Huai found, with all pastry snacks at S- Level. If Qin Huai were split into eight, even eight Qin Huais working together couldn’t produce such high-level snacks.

Xu Nuo’s cooking, on the other hand, is different. First, Qin Huai believes Xu Nuo definitely couldn’t make S-level snacks.

If he could, let’s pretend Qin Huai didn’t say anything.

Next.

No next.

Snacks not being at S-level is manageable.

Previously, Qin Huai’s Knife Skills hadn’t reached Intermediate, and Fire Control hadn’t reached Advanced level, yet he could stabilize the Four Happiness rice balls at A-level with Master Level seasoning.

Indeed, the Double Crab Bun is different from the Four Happiness rice balls, with the latter focusing more on seasoning, meaning master-level seasoning is highly appreciated, achieving A-level smoothly and naturally.

The Double Crab Bun also places great importance on seasoning, and its seasoning difficulty is higher than the Four Happiness rice balls. Furthermore, it requires certain meat cooking techniques, while being a bun emphasizes yeast, involving various skill points, making achieving A-level challenging.

However, Qin Huai is confident.

He feels he has experienced a flash of insight into increasing skill level.

Starting tomorrow, he will diligently practice thickening with Zang Liang. As long as he practices thickening long enough, hard enough, and diligently enough, his yeast will definitely reach Master Level!

Although the progress bar for yeast hasn’t even reached halfway and is still 50,000 experience points short, Qin Huai thinks it’s not a big problem.

Did you hear that, yeast? I, Qin Huai, plan to practice thickening diligently when I get back, do you know what to do?

On the plane, Qin Huai planned his future itinerary clearly and thoroughly.

After thinking it through, Qin Huai felt a bit tired, so he closed his eyes to rest until the plane landed.

He turned off airplane mode and connected to the internet.

In the chat group "Loving Family," there were 99+ new messages.

Upon learning that Shi Dadan is a Dang Kang, everyone was very enthusiastic, showing that Dang Kang has a decent reputation among spirits, at least much better than the Bi fang.

Qin Huai scrolled up to glance at the chat content, finding that Chen Huihong was introducing which snacks she excelled at to Shi Dadan and what he should focus on eating after trying dishes at Yunzhong Restaurant.

The suggestions included how to maximize snack enjoyment, what to eat first, and the best combinations.

These thoughtful snack guide suggestions were surprising to Qin Huai, as he hadn’t known Chen Huihong had quietly summarized such things.

Chen Huihong posted a recommendation message, while Luo Jun posted a warning message. He highlighted things to avoid, including not getting braised tea eggs from the convenience store at Yunzhong Restaurant’s entrance, cold tea shops, braised chicken and rice shops, sandwich shops, vegetarian restaurants, burger joints, fast food places, Italian restaurants, Mexican restaurants, and other places where he had posted poor reviews.

This left Shi Dadan stunned, marveling at how terrible Shan City’s dining environment was, as there wasn’t a decent place to eat in the CBD.

Of course, Luo Jun also warned Shi Dadan of Qin Huai’s fried dough sticks, Cloud Cake, Kidney Bean Roll, pea cake, Eight Treasure Cake, and Dream Come True Sesame Bun filling—all of which he disliked.

After reading the group chat messages, Qin Huai discovered that Chen Huihong had privately messaged him as well.

Chen Huihong: Xiao Qin, has your plane arrived? I’m already at the airport, I’m here to pick you up today.

Chen Huihong: Your flight should have landed by now, did I remember the time wrong?

Chen Huihong: Oh, I got the time wrong, I’ll ask again in 40 minutes.

Chen Huihong: Has the plane arrived? Please message me when it has.

Chen Huihong: It should have landed by now, was it delayed?

Chen Huihong: Has it arrived, has it arrived?

Qin Huai quickly replied: It has arrived, I’m waiting for my luggage, sorry Sister Hong, didn’t see your messages earlier.

Chen Huihong: No worries, it’s not me hurrying you, it’s Luo Jun who’s anxious at home.

Chen Huihong: Jingjing is already at Luo Jun’s house, Zhang Shumei has even sliced the fruits, just waiting for you to start a tea party and talk about Old Shi’s situation.

Qin Huai: Received.
