CHAPTER 795: CHAPTER 402: SLACKING OFF

Tan Wei’an was quickly diverted from the topic, raising his hand to point at the vegetable shelf: "Over there, the tomatoes today are quite tasty, juicy and sweet."

Tan Wei’an was coaxed by Qin Huai to help him get tomatoes. Qin Huai seized the moment to ask Dong Shi, "Do you think that with my previous personality, it’s impossible for me to make any progress with the Four Happiness Rolls’ shape, and I’m just practicing randomly. I stop practicing at 3 PM and instead go to practice other snacks."

Dong Shi nodded, his face full of confusion: "Before, you would keep practicing one kind of snack non-stop. You wouldn’t do other snacks, only doing a few easy ones to relax when you were tired."

"When you’re not around, senior brother often uses you practicing the Four Happiness glutinous rice dumplings and Crab Dumplings as an example to me, telling me not to get distracted when cutting vegetables, to focus on the cutting board, to learn your state and attention."

Dong Shi’s face was full of expressions saying: Brother, you’re the teaching model, how did you become a collection of mistakes now?

Qin Huai didn’t expect that during his time away from Huang Ji, Huang Jia would’ve used him as a model example to educate Dong Shi. But on second thought, it made sense. Dong Shi was good in every aspect, extraordinarily talented, just his personality was a bit too jumpy, and his focus extremely scattered.

It was also related to Dong Shi’s hobbies. Dong Shi likes to listen to some gossip, talk about some gossip, and if he wants not to miss any gossip around him, it’s impossible to focus on one thing. He must be all ears and eyes in every direction.

Qin Huai explained: "That was before; the situation is different now."

"What’s different?" Tan Wei’an picked a large, red, and nice-looking tomato and came back, handing the tomato to Qin Huai.

"The Four Happiness Rolls are not the same as the snacks I practiced before." Qin Huai continued, "The Four Happiness Rolls are too difficult, I can’t learn them."

Dong Shi & Tan Wei’an: ???

Both of them stared at Qin Huai in shock, Tan Wei’an’s expression was particularly exaggerated.

Tan Wei’an had personally witnessed how Qin Huai conquered each snack.

He had joined Qin Huai’s small team time after time, always at the bottom of the team, slacking off, unable to figure things out, pulling out recipes, feeling a lack of involvement. Couldn’t find the feeling, couldn’t learn the snacks.

But Tan Wei’an felt it didn’t matter, he had come to terms with it.

He could even accept that there was something off with Qin Huai’s head, and that imaginary game system of his was really useful. Accepting that Qin Huai was a weirdo, that he might not have drunk all of Mengpo Soup, that Qin Huai’s snacks might again grace the cover of , that Qin Huai might quickly squeeze into the Chef Record, that Qin Huai might refresh the highest ranking of pastry chefs in the Chef Record...

Tan Wei’an thought one day Qin Huai would tell him that he was in fact a child lost from the Tan Family, and he could accept that too.

But he couldn’t accept Qin Huai saying that a snack was too difficult for him to learn.

Tan Wei’an really wanted to grab Qin Huai’s shoulders and shake him wildly, question him, shout loudly, and roar.

Ask him how he could say such a thing, he was Master Qin! The all-capable Qin Huai! The person who could figure out a way to tackle any high-difficulty weird snack! The one who, for the Double Crab Bun, such a difficult snack that everyone had made no progress on, he could think of a solution after a few rounds on a roller coaster at an amusement park!

How could Master Qin say he couldn’t do it!

Is the Four Happiness Rolls that difficult? Isn’t it just Cloud Pattern...

Okay, the Four Happiness Rolls are indeed quite difficult.

But... are they that difficult?!

Are you, the great Qin Huai, going to give up, slack off, and learn from me, Tan Wei’an?

I, Tan Wei’an, truly can’t do it, but not you, Qin Huai, you’re the real genius. Your talent is so great it’s about to overflow from you, making ordinary people like me wish to grab a basin to catch some and stick it onto myself.

How could you say you can’t do it?

Tan Wei’an even started doubting if it was himself who turned Qin Huai into this, and what Dong Shi said earlier was actually true, he had been too blatantly, recklessly, and obviously slacking off, that he had spoiled Qin Huai.

Tan Wei’an smacked his own head hard, showing a remorseful expression, just shy of saying he truly deserved it.

Qin Huai couldn’t figure out what Dong Shi’s facial expression earlier meant, but he indeed got Tan Wei’an’s expression eight or nine points right.

Qin Huai was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and explained once again: "I’ve not given up on the Four Happiness Rolls."

"I’ve realized that with my current level, it’s impossible to make this snack."

"Finger Skill is very difficult and very important, I underestimated it before. I was like a frog at the bottom of a well, sitting there looking up at that piece of sky, thinking that’s all there is. But this morning, I climbed out of the well, and saw the real world, realizing the truth isn’t so, realizing I couldn’t achieve it."

"I’m someone who knows myself well, I won’t force myself to do something I can’t."

"So you haven’t given up?" Tan Wei’an asked.

"Of course not, the Four Happiness Rolls are a snack I must make." Qin Huai glanced at Dong Shi, "I promised Mr. Shi. Although I didn’t realize the difficulty of this snack when I promised, since I said I would do it, I have to achieve it."

"When I realized that at this stage, I simply can’t make the Four Happiness Rolls, I felt there was no need to push myself."

"Relaxing and being at ease, like you, is also very good. Doing my regular snacks every day, doing what I want, rather than forcing myself to invest fully in the snack that needs practice, using a lot of practice to push myself."
