If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

"System, are you seriously ill?"

Su Yun was truly impressed.

He could tolerate selling fried rice under the bridge.

Now they want him to go sell steamed buns in an air-raid shelter?

Is this a street stall or some kind of underground operation?

[System reminder: All refresh locations have been carefully selected by the system. Please trust the system's judgment!]

"I don't believe you! Your system is awful!"

Su Yun reluctantly got up and washed up.

I took out my phone and searched the map.

Air raid shelter in the north of the city.

The results came out.

Su Yun almost died on the spot.

Good guy!

It's a full 25 kilometers away from where he is now!

"How come that place is even more remote than the bridge archway?"

The underpass is at least within the Third Ring Road!

And you can even catch the crowds in the urban-rural fringe area!

But what about the air-raid shelter?

On the mountainside of a desolate mountain in the north of the city!

There isn't even a decent road around here, let alone a residential area!

"System, are you trying to make me a mountain bandit?"

Su Yun was speechless.

I don't know what it means to set up a stall in such a place.

Is there anyone in that place?

To whom should we sell it?

Wild boars from the mountains?

[System notification: Please proceed to the designated location as soon as possible. You will receive an extra reward for setting up a stall at the new location for the first time.]

"Sigh, what else can we do?"

Su Yun began packing her things.

He was truly out of options.

The system has already bound it; you can't just unbind it, can you?

Moreover.

Although the system is located in a weird location, the cooking skills it provides are genuine.

The money I've earned these past few days is real and tangible.

If it weren't for this system, Su Yun would still be sending out resumes right now.

"Never mind, let's just treat it as a picnic."

Su Yun consoled herself for a moment, then shouldered her luggage, went downstairs, and started the dining car.

A distance of 25 kilometers.

It takes almost an hour and a half to drive there.

This is only at the foot of the mountain.

As for the road up the mountain, Su Yun didn't even dare to think about it.

After the car left the city,

The road is getting narrower and narrower.

Amidst the jolts, Su Yun remained expressionless.

Who knows he went there to set up a stall?

"The destination is just ahead. This navigation session is now complete."

Su Yun stopped the car.

Looking up, I froze on the spot.

There is a mountain in front of me.

It's not very high, but it's extremely steep.

The foot of the mountain was covered with weeds and shrubs.

A dirt road, barely passable by vehicles, winds its way up.

The location is halfway up the mountain.

A dark, gaping hole stood there.

Above the entrance to the cave, several large characters were written crookedly in red paint.

Air raid shelter in the north of the city.

Su Yun: "..."

"It really is an air-raid shelter."

Su Yun admitted that she had indeed gotten a little lucky.

He thought the system was just giving him a name to scare him!

I never expected it to be a real air-raid shelter!

Su Yun got out of the car and looked around.

It was a desolate, wild place, without a single bird.

"Well, at least the air here is pretty fresh."

Su Yun sighed.

We drove uphill along the dirt road.

The road is very narrow.

Just enough for one car to pass.

Su Yun was terrified.

I was afraid that I might accidentally fall into the ditch.

Fortunately, the food truck has good power and a high chassis.

After a bumpy ride of about ten minutes, we finally arrived at the cave entrance.

Su Yun stopped the car.

I jumped down and looked into the cave.

Good guy!

The air-raid shelter was much bigger than he had imagined!

The entrance to the cave is more than three meters high, and it is pitch black inside, with no end in sight.

The walls were covered with moss.

Su Yun took a few steps inside, took out her phone, and turned on the flashlight.

"Does this place sell steamed buns?"

Su Yun looked completely bewildered.

He found a slightly drier corner and parked the food cart.

Take a quick look around at the surroundings.

"It's not as bad as I imagined."

Although the space inside the air-raid shelter is not small, the height is very limited.

After the food truck drove in.

There was less than a meter of space left above their heads.

The ventilation is quite good.

A breeze blows in from the cave entrance, so it's not stuffy.

But the problem is...

The fumes from cooking oil definitely won't dissipate from this place.

"Fried rice can't be fried anymore."

They were cooking in the air-raid shelter with such a lot of oil fumes.

Su Yun estimated that he would be suffocated by the fumes.

"Adjust the menu."

Su Yun opened the system backend and began to ponder.

Keep only the two most popular fried rice options.

Seafood and beef versions, please. Other versions will be temporarily removed from the shelves.

Then, the main focus will be on promoting the newly unlocked steamed buns.

That is, steamed buns with fresh meat and steamed buns with braised meat.

Su Yun studied the recipes provided by the system and gradually got a feel for them.

Steamed buns are not the same as fried rice.

The preparation work is much more complicated.

Kneading and proofing the dough, preparing the filling, rolling out the wrappers, filling them, and steaming them—every step requires meticulous attention.

Fortunately, the system granted him advanced pastry mastery.

He had gone through these procedures countless times in his mind.

Su Yun first purchased some ingredients from the system's store.

Flour, yeast, sugar, and warm water.

These are the main ingredients of the dough.

Pork foreleg meat, with a fat-to-lean ratio of 3:7.

This is the main ingredient in the filling.

Overall, it's pretty good.

Finally, the seasonings.

It contains minced ginger and chopped green onions, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, as well as oyster sauce, sugar, white pepper powder and sesame oil.

And a pot of broth that had been simmering for over ten hours,

Get them all done.

There's one more thing to add to the braised pork buns.

Sweet bean sauce.

[Purchase complete. Total cost 200 yuan, automatically deducted!]

Su Yun opened the locker.

All the ingredients were brought out.

It's difficult to set up an operating platform inside an air-raid shelter.

He then set up the folding table behind the food cart.

Pour the flour into the bowl.

Dissolve the yeast in warm water, then add sugar and stir well. Slowly pour the mixture into the flour.

As Su Yun poured the contents onto one side, she stirred it with chopsticks.

The flour gradually turned into a flocculent state.

After washing her hands, Su Yun began kneading the dough.

Press down with both hands, fold, and flip.

The movements were neither too fast nor too slow, but full of rhythm.

The dough became smoother and smoother in his hands, and soon became soft.

I massaged it for about ten minutes.

The dough has become very smooth.

The surface is very smooth and moist.

Su Yun was very satisfied.

After putting the dough into a bowl, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise.

It takes time for it to rise.

It takes about forty minutes to an hour.

Take advantage of this free time.

Su Yun began preparing the filling.

First, cut the pork foreleg meat into small pieces, then mince it with a knife.

Su Yun wielded the knife with both hands, flipping it up and down with incredible speed.

The flashing of blades echoed rhythmically inside the air-raid shelter.

The meat chunks quickly became smaller and smaller under the knife.

It gradually turned into a sticky meat filling.

Su Yun did not use a meat grinder, but insisted on chopping by hand.

Because hand-chopped meat filling has a chewier texture.

The meat is also more flavorful.

Put the chopped minced meat into a bowl, and then add the broth in three batches.

Each time you add something, stir in one direction.

This allows the minced meat to fully absorb the broth.

Su Yun's arm moved quickly, and the minced meat swirled and churned in the basin.

It quickly transformed into a moist and plump form.

Next, add minced ginger, chopped green onions, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce.

Stir and stir all sorts of seasonings, keep stirring.

Continue until they are perfectly integrated with the minced meat.

At last.

Pour a spoonful of hot oil over it.

With a sizzle, the aroma exploded instantly.

The minced meat is now ready.

Next, we'll make the minced meat sauce, which is a bit more complicated.

It also uses pork from the foreleg, but it needs to be cooked first and then cut into small cubes.

After adding an appropriate amount of oil to the pot.

Add sweet bean sauce and stir-fry until fragrant, then add all the diced meat and stir-fry together.

Then add the appropriate amount of broth.

Simmer over low heat for a while to allow the diced meat to fully absorb the flavor of the sauce.

Finally, reduce the sauce until thickened.

"OK!"

Su Yun nodded.

The minced meat is now ready.

When the two fillings are placed together, the colors are very distinct.

The minced meat is very pale pink and has a faint aroma of scallions.

The minced meat is a bright red color and has a rich, savory aroma.

Su Yun took a sniff and couldn't help but swallow.

"This filling smells amazing!"

By this time, the dough should have risen properly.

What was originally the size of a fist has now swelled to twice its original size.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Su Yun poked it with her finger.

If the dough neither shrinks nor collapses, it means it has risen just right.

He sprinkled a layer of dry flour on the cutting board.

Then take the dough out and start kneading it to release the air.

After kneading for a few minutes, the dough returned to its original size.

Next, roll the dough into a long strip and cut it into evenly sized pieces.

Each dose weighs approximately 30 grams.

Su Yun skillfully picked up a dough ball, flattened it with her palm, and then began to roll out the dough.

The rolling pin spun rapidly in his hand.

The dough rotates on the cutting board, spinning as it goes.

It quickly became thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.

It's round, just like it was drawn with a compass.

Su Yun rolled out about twenty sheets of dough in one go.

The speed is ridiculously fast!

Each sheet is the same size and of uniform thickness.

They look like they were copied and pasted together.

Su Yun started making steamed buns.

Holding the dough in his left hand, he scooped a spoonful of fresh meat filling into the center with his right hand.

Then, the right hand begins to pinch pleats.

Use your thumb and forefinger to pinch and release repeatedly.

The pleats are very even and delicate, with perfectly consistent spacing.

It's like a flower bud about to bloom.

Wrap one up.

Su Yun placed it on the cutting board and glanced at it.

It's white and plump, round and full, with exactly eighteen pleats.

"Perfect!"

Su Yun couldn't help but praise herself.

With the help of someone who has mastered basic pastry making, these buns look absolutely amazing.

I made 15 dumplings with fresh pork filling and 15 dumplings with braised pork filling.

Arrange them neatly in the steamer and let them rise a second time for 15 minutes.

Take advantage of this time.

Su Yun prepared the steamer, added water, and brought it to a boil.

15 minute later.

The steamed buns have risen properly and are now a size bigger than before, feeling light in your hand.

Su Yun placed the steamer basket on the steamer, covered it, and steamed it over high heat.

Set the timer to 12 minutes.

As the temperature rises, the smell inside the air-raid shelter begins to change.

It starts with the aroma of wheat flour, clear and lingering.

Then the aroma of the minced meat began to waft out.

First comes the aroma of scallions and meat from the fresh pork bun, followed by the aroma of soy sauce and caramel from the braised pork bun.

The two fragrances intertwine, permeate, collide, and blend in the air.

Su Yun approached the steamer and took a deep breath.

"My God!"

He couldn't help but swear.

"These steamed buns smell amazing!"

Unlike the domineering nature of fried rice.

The aroma of the steamed buns is incredibly gentle and lingering!

It won't rush into your nasal cavity all at once!

Instead, it infiltrates little by little, surrounding people without them even realizing it!

Su Yun couldn't help but close her eyes.

from head to foot.

Every pore is breathing greedily!

I feel so exhilarated, like I'm about to fly!

"That feels so good!"

Twenty minutes later.

Su Yun quickly turned off the stove, but didn't rush to lift the lid.

Instead, I steamed them for another 2 minutes to allow the buns to set completely.

Then I opened the lid.

White steam suddenly surged in.

Su Yun's face was covered in steam.

But there was no time to wipe it clean.

He looked down at the steamed buns in the steamer, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Good heavens!"

"These steamed buns are so beautiful!"

It's white and plump, with a skin so thin it's almost transparent, and you can vaguely see the filling inside!

The fresh pork buns have a pale pinkish-white hue, while the braised pork buns are reddish-brown and glossy!

Each bun has very clear pleats, with the top slightly open.

It looks incredibly tempting!

Su Yun couldn't wait to pick up a meat bun and put it in her bowl.

He blew on it and took a bite.

For an instant.

Su Yun's eyes widened.
