Good Man Operation Guide

After finishing his short speech, Lin Shiheng didn’t bother to read the messages. Instead, he lowered his head and started to cut the tofu. While doing so, he introduced, "In ancient earth’s Chinese country, the main characteristics of Mapo Tofu are: Numb, spicy, hot, aromatic, crispy, tender, fresh and vibrant. It’s my first time to make it, so I hope I can successfully make it.”

A clear and gentle voice made the introductions, and although half of the words in these introductions were incomprehensible to everyone, somehow their mouths began to water as they listened.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiheng, who had finished cutting the tofu, had already lowered it into the pot, “The stock was prepared a long time ago and it locks in the freshness of the tofu very well. Cook it for about 2-3 minutes first, and continue to steep it in after turning off the heat, to prevent the tofu from sticking.”

“Another note to everyone here, tofu is very fragile so whatever tool you use, be careful when you touch it. Next, stir-fry the prepared spotted beast meat. Here, you should pay attention to adding seasoning, starting with ...”

In a normal classroom, the teacher allowed self-study and a student below took quick notes, while the table next to him was watching the live broadcast.

It was reasonable to say that Lin Shiheng spoke very clearly, and also went along with all the movements. If they were Chinese people from ancient earth, they woulcl have been able to grasp the essentials very quickly.

But it was hopeless. The people who came to learn were Blue Star people who had never used kitchen utensils before.

One could only use their brains, to try to write down the steps or just recorcl their screen, which was what this student was doing, but the more he watched, the more confused he got.

He had no idea that there were so many steps involved in making a single dish. He also had to control the heat, prepare the spices and, most importantly, remember the sequence.

The Mapo tofu was still being made, but what he was thinking about as he watched the process wasn’t how he was going to memorize the preparation, but how good it woulcl taste.

It must taste delicious. After all, it was such tender dish that if you poked it with chopsticks, woulcl it break. Moreover, the broth, which was obviously bright red in color, made anyone who saw it salivate.

Yes. He wanted to eat it. And it must really taste smooth and tender in his mouth.

“Gulp

Immersed in his culinary fantasies, the student sucldenly heard the gentle, clear voice say, “Then, a plate of Mapo Tofu is ready.”

Wait??!!

The student suddenly recovered from his fantasy, and was filled with bewilderment.

He hasn't learned anything yet.

But the next moment, his eyes were clrawn to the white and tender thing in the shot that was lying still in the bright red broth and tender green onions.

Originally, he thought it was tender and white, and it looked delicious. However, after being stained with this bright red, it looked as if it was a hundred times more delicious than before.

For example, one was a pure little girl. and the other was a mature and beautiful older sister.

Oh, no, no, no, why did he have such an idea? He was still a student who should be immersed in his studiesl!

The student who quickly shook his head and emptied his mind coughed twice and continued to watch.

Ah, the young man about his age picked up the spoon. Was he going to eat it?

He really envied him!

The student wipecl the nonexistent saliva at the corners of his mouth, and stared at the fresh and tender older sister... Uh, no, Mapo Tofu with longing eyes.

This time, the person tasting in front of the camera was Lai Wei.

As someone who recorded the video yesterday and could only have some soup afterwards, he strongly requested to switch places with Du Mowen today.

Although Du Mowen was very reluctant and tried to bribe Lin Shiheng, the only presiding chef, he was forced to relinquish his position as ‘taster’ on the grounds of ‘one person at a time, rotating the next day’.

Lai Wei, who had always been steady, had a rare, eager smile in his eyes. He sat down at the table excitedly. Because he remembered that tofu was a fragile ingredient, Lai Wei’s hands were gentle and the ceramic spoon was inserted smoothly into the center of the plate. Carefully, he scooped out a whole piece of tofu which was originally white, now stained with tender red broth.

Because of his actions, this piece of tofu, which was quite big, was slightly quivering. Although it was only one piece, it had many companions with it.

For example, the tender green onions for garnish and freshness, the spottecl beast’s meat that was fragrant after being stir-fried with chilies, and the bean paste that was made along with the tofu preparation. Altogether, it could be called a variety of delicacies.

Lai Wei was a bit steadier than Du Mowen. who wanted to eat the food with the spoon in front of him. He first brought the tofu with in front of him, sniffed it with his nose and felt the fragrant aroma that he had been smelling before, getting closer and closer. Then, his eyes slightly closed and clisplayed a bit of enjoyment.

Then, with his eyes closed, he slowly poured the tofu into his mouth.

The tofu, which was even more delicate than the tomatoes he had tastecl last time, was smooth and slippery, as if it could all collapse into softness with a casual movement. Lai Wei, cautiously and carefully, gently nudged it with the tip of his tongue. For a moment, the taste buds on his tongue were overrun with spicy, not very hot, and the numbness was rather like it was tingling his strained nerves. He couldn’t help but relax his psychic power.

Delicious, really delicious!

While taking in the tangy aroma, he kept dipping his spoon into the plate to get some tofu. The previously underwhelming onion became his main target. and the greenish color, like jade, mesmerized Lai Wei to no end.

A piece of Mapo Tofu went into his mouth. He didn’t say anything to praise it. but his actions and behaviors were all trying to express that it was the best thing in the world.

The messages on screen were gradually decreasing, as the food craving gene in the Blue Star people watching the broadcast were moving more and more frequently, prompting them to stare at the screen and keep salivating.

Yes, they really want to eat.

Watching Lai Wei eat all the tofu and drink the rest of the broth with a spoon, almost everyone’s eyes turned green.

[Can you sell it now?!! I really want to eat it right away!]

[Please, pleasel! As long as you sell it now, I’ll pay you whatever it takesll]

The screen was full of messages asking for the sale of the dishes. Lin Shiheng, who kept his face hidden from screen, continued to speak in a gentle tone.

“Sorry, we’re only going to start selling them in 7 days. If everyone is interested, you could try making your own, as long as it’s not for commercial use.”

They would love to cook a pot like that and enjoy it themselves. But they couldn’t do it!!

This pain of having money and but nowhere to shop was awful! Wuwuwuw.

“For the exact steps and ingredients needed, you can buy them in our registered online shop. It’s mainly a few ingredients and the spatula neecled.”

Lin Shiheng was kind enough to acld, “The recipes are hanging in the online shop, so you can grab them yourself.”

The live broadcast was over.

He began to pack up his things. Lai Wei, who was eating with a satisfiecl face, and Du Mowen, who was craving with a pitiful face, began to deliberate again.

“Are we overstocked with kitchen utensils? Aren’t you supposed to buy one of these things, they’ll last a long time, right?”

“Yes, Shiheng, why did you say that we have to make money with spatulas in the early stage? Although the price is set high, people won’t buy a second one after buying one.”

Lin Shiheng scrubbed the pan clean and set it down in its place with a gentle smile.

“I don’t think anyone who has never used a pan could handle it well, especially, if our Blue Star flames are compatible with the pan.”

At the next dormitory over, a courier promptly arrivecl at the door

“Hello sir, your one-stop cooking bundle has arrived.”

The boy who was studying a recipe in his dorm room excitedly poked his head out to take it, “Thank you.”

Carrying a whole large box into the room, he rubbed his hands together excitedly. He opened the box and took out the cooking utensil inside, known as a pan.

There were also some other ingredients in it. He took them out and placecl them aside for now.

Then, start making delicious food now!!

The young boy’s face was full of confidence. Once he learned how to make the food, he might be able to use it to coax a pretty girl, and maybe he would succeed in leaving the single life. Hehehehe.

“Okay, let’s see. First of all, you should make sure that the protection function on your chip is on.”

“Chip?” The boy looked down at his chip with some confusion.

“Isn’t the protection on 24-hours a clay? Why do I have to make sure?”

“Um ... mine is on. Next, boil water? Boil water, that’s so simple. Pour some water, fire, and burn until the water boils. Is this fire too small? I should use my psychic power to boost it...”

Bang —

Lai Wei, who was enjoying himself while patting his round stomach, opened his eyes with a jolt, and Du Mowen, who was busy checking the sales of the online shop, also jumped up. They went out to see where the sound came from.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.”

A guy came out of the dorm room next door, “Sorry for the noise, my pan blew up.”

Du Mowen looked dumbfounded at his dorm-mate next door whose face was all black, “It’s... it’s okay then.”

“Thank you, thank you. Anyway, I’m going to buy another pan ...”

The teenager went back into the dorm room next door to place his order.

At the same time, all kinds of explosions were heard everywhere in the dormitory area, one after another.

—Bang!!

—Bang!!!

—Bang!!!!

Du Mowen:... No way. They all blew up??

All over Blue Star, too. There were all kinds of wails.

“You can’t fry an egg in its shell?”

“Can’t psychic power fuel fire?”

“AHHHH!!! My tofu!!! Why did it break again!!! I’ve obviously been very careful!!!”

“Brother, I asked you to help me smash the meat into mincemeat not into gravy! You compensate for my spottecl beast meat!!!”

“Why can’t you rub your eyes when you touch chilies? Wuwuwu it stings...”

Du Mowen returned to his dorm room and laughed dryly at the various news stories that came out of their attempts to cook.

“Luckily, everyone was protected and nothing would happen.”

But then again. did they really have a food gene in them? How could they make dishes like this?

Lai Wei watched as the number of spatulas and ingredient purchases skyrocketecl and waved his hand, coolly replaying...

“There’s a gene that yearns for food, not making it.”

“If we had the gene to make food in us, why haven’t we seen any real food appear on Blue Star in all this time? “

Lin Shiheng agreed, while opening his chip and glancing at the data that was still soaring.

Sure enough, the huge destructive power of the Blue Stars was enough to put them straight on the wealthy list.

Starting a business was like running a race.

Getting a head start, he sprang to the finish line.
