"How many customers are there today?" asked Gu Bai.
"I only receive 100 customers every day. Sixty have come here this morning, forty to go. But most of them would come for dinner in the evening," reported Fang Weixuan.
As soon as Gu Bai came back, Fang Weixuan reported how he had run the business last month, including how he limited the number of customers and how to make appointments.
"Alright, I'll entertain the following customers today. You should take some rest," Gu Bai said to Fang Weixuan.
Gu Bai was worried that Fang Weixuan must be exhausted after a month of busy work.
"I'm not tired at all. With Dazhuang and others' help, I don't think it's too much to entertain 100 customers a day," Fang Weixuan said with a smile.
Fang Weixuan wouldn't torture himself. If he was too busy to entertain the customers, he would ask his servants at home to help. Therefore, he could handle it most of the time.
"All right. If you think it's too busy someday, I can hire one more chef here so that he can help you out when I'm not here. If you have suitable people to recommend, feel free to let me know," said Gu Bai.
Fang Weixuan agreed, "Okay."
Since most customers wouldn't come until the evening, Gu Bai went to the kitchen and prepared to teach Liu Dazhuang and his friends how to cook the most basic family dishes.
Gu Bai gave Fang Weixuan a day off, but the latter didn't plan to leave. Gu Bai was finally back, so he wouldn't miss the chance to eat the dishes Gu Bai made. Even if Gu Bai was about to make simple dishes, they must be delicious.
Fang Weixuan would be stupid if he left.
Thus, when Gu Bai guided people to cook in the kitchen, Fang Weixuan went to play on the phone in the hall.
"Later, I will broadcast the live stream and blur all of your faces. If any of you don't want to appear in the footage, you can keep your distance," Gu Bai informed them.
Gu Bai hadn't broadcast any shows in the last month, so his fans had been counting down a few days ago. Today, they even sent him a lot of messages, requiring him to make a show.
Gu Bai thought that the live stream would not affect the teaching, so he fulfilled his fans' requirements.
"We are okay with that. Please feel free to open your camera, boss," they replied.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for them to learn from Gu Bai. Compared to standing far, they preferred to come closer to Gu Bai so that they could watch more clearly.
As soon as Gu Bai started his broadcast, his fans flooded in his live stream after a day of waiting.
[Finally, Xiaobai starts his live stream. I've waited for so long.]
[I thought I wouldn't have any chance to watch Xiaobai's live stream again in my lifetime.]
[Xiaobai, are you back to the Central Star?]
[It seems that Xiaobai is in the kitchen in Blue Star. Xiaobai, I heard that you have three days off. Will you cook in the next three days? We want to eat your dishes!]
[Ahhh, my appointment is tomorrow! Xiaobai, will you be there? I want to see you and eat your dishes there!]
[Although it's not appropriate to say that here, Fang makes great dishes as well. Of course, I love Xiaobai's dishes more! Ahhh!]
[My appointment is in three days. Why didn't I go there earlier? Otherwise, I would have been able to eat Xiaobai's dishes. I am so sad!]
[That's enough, guys. Xiaobai must be exhausted after a month of military training. He is so nice to broadcast for us right after he gets out of the spaceship. How could you ask him to cook for you every day? Don't you care about him?]
[That's right, Xiaobai. You should rest for the next few days. We have more opportunities in the future, and we can wait.]
Gu Bai felt warm when he saw the comments.
"I feel fine, actually. And I'll be in Blue Star in the following three days. Welcome to come here," Gu Bai said to his fans smilingly.
In the blink of an eye, the fans commented more excitedly.
[Xiaobai's voice is so gentle. His expression must be mild as well. Why do you blur your face all the time? We want to see your face.]
[A quiet request: Please show your face.]
[A quiet request: Please show your face.]
[A quiet request: Please show your face.]
[I'm going to his restaurant tomorrow anyway. Even if I can't eat there, I'll go see him. Who knows? I might be lucky to see him personally.]
[Ahhhh! That's cunning, girl! But I love your idea. I'll go there as well.]
"The store is too small to entertain too many people at present, so I doubt it if you can walk in the restaurant by then. You will be tired if you stand out of the store by then, so don't come. I know you are all good girls and you will listen to me," Gu Bai told the fans not to come patiently.
It was probably the first time that the fans had heard someone tell his customers not to come, so they all laughed out at the comment area.
However, Gu Bai's words made many girls' hearts beat faster.
"Today, I will teach you to make two delicious and simple dishes," Gu Bai said to the fans and also Liu Dazhuang and the other two apprentices.
Since Liu Dazhuang and his friends didn't know much about cooking, Gu Bai decided to start with the most basic knowledge.
Under Fang Weixuan's efforts, they had everything they needed in the kitchen, so Gu Bai took some eggs.
"The simplest dish is probably scrambled eggs. How many of you can make that?" Gu Bai asked his fans.
The first dishes that children on earth learned were basically scrambled eggs.
[I know how to make that. It's kind of my trick.]
[Me, too. Every time I feel hungry after watching Xiaobai's show, I would scramble some for myself and lie to myself it was the dish Xiaobai has made.]
[Why are you guys so talented? I can't make it no matter. It's either the eggy wash or the eggshell. The eggs I scrambled were either not cooked or burnt. Am I not supposed to go to the kitchen in my lifetime?]
[Hahaha, you are so funny! I've never heard that anyone can't make scrambled eggs. That's kind of the simplest dish, okay?]
[Don't say that, man. I know people who can't do that. They are kitchen killers, like my mom. Every time she goes to the kitchen, I feel like she was going to explode it. For the sake of my family's lives, my father hasn't let her go to the kitchen ever since.]
[Scrambled eggs are the simplest. I can't see why you choose to teach that. Bai Xiaobai, are you out of wits and plan to fool your fans around?]
[I knew it. The anti-fans are here no matter what. I was curious when you guys were going to appear. See, I'm a little unaccustomed to your silence.]
[I feel the same. It's such a good experience to see the anti-fans embarrass themselves. I'm so glad to see them here.]
[I'm waiting for Xiaobai to teach him a lesson.]
[I'm waiting for Xiaobai to teach him a lesson.]
[I'm waiting for Xiaobai to teach him a lesson. My ID is...]
The anti-fan who couldn't restrain himself from sending the comment slapped himself when he saw the comments.
"Why are you so stupid to do that? You stupid hand!" The anti-fan scolded himself.
"The scrambled eggs are easy to make. Yes, all you need to do is to master the right time and perfect temperature." As Gu Bai spoke, he took an egg and knocked the eggshell at the edge of the pan. As he moved his fingers slightly, the egg fell into the pan, while the shell was thrown into the bucket.
His action was so smooth and elegant.
Gu Bai hit three eggs in a row. The eggy wash sounded pleasant as it reached the hot oil inside the pan.
Gu Bai quickly started to stir the egg in the pan. As the eggs slowly began to solidify out of the heat, he added some salt.
In less than a minute, Gu Bai put the egg out of the pot. The orange egg looked beautiful on the white plate.
[It's the simplest steps Xiaobai has just shown to us. Why did it look so beautiful when he did that?]
[That's why he is the chef. He can make great dishes even if they are the most common dishes. I can't wait to eat it already.]
[Xiaobai, go ahead and let us try it quickly! I want to eat it!]
Gu Bai fulfilled the fans' wishes and let them eat immediately.
Next, Gu Bai took three more eggs and heated the pan as well. But this time, he didn't add the eggs inside directly but poured them into a bowl. He then stirred it before pouring it into the pan. The eggy wash became egg bubbles soon.
Gu Bai quickly repeated the process he had done before.
"Guys, try and see if you can tell any differences," Gu Bai said to his fans.
The fans didn't understand, but they tried both of them obediently. The flavors were almost the same, but the tastes were slightly different.
Both dishes were favored by some people.
Gu Bai said, "I've taught you how to make them. You can choose your own way to make them."
Afterward, Gu Bai made several different egg products. He either made waffles or omelets, inside which he either added some salt or other spices.
In short, he used various ways to make eggs, which stunned all the fans.
They never knew that a small egg could be made in so many different ways, and the taste and flavor were so different.
Was it the difference between a chef and an ordinary person?
The fans' minds were blown today.
