Chapter 50 Grapefruit Hot Milk Puff Durian Pizza

As I put my phone away, the system notification sounded as expected, dispelling the tension brought on by the previous distress call.

[Daily Quest Refresh: Tomorrow, successfully set up a stall at the main entrance of Starlight Amusement Park in the city center and sell 50 'Durian Pizzas'. Reward: 450 Merit Points.]

Selling durian pizza at an amusement park—that's quite timely; kids and young people would probably like it.

Su Xiaonuan decided to go directly to the site to make the pizza tomorrow morning, so that the pizza crust would be crispier and the cheese would stretch the best.

After planning her itinerary for tomorrow, she felt a wave of fatigue wash over her.

Lately, I've been dealing with criminals, reconciling with my best friend, and just now I passed on a crucial clue. My mind has been on edge the whole time.

All she wants to do right now is relax.

She went into the bathroom, filled a tub with warm water, added a few drops of soothing lavender essential oil, and completely immersed herself in the water.

The warm water enveloped my body, washing away fatigue, while the aroma of essential oils soothed my nerves.

She closed her eyes, letting her mind wander, enjoying this moment of peace and tranquility.

After a bath, I felt completely refreshed, and my skin had a rosy glow.

Feeling a bit thirsty, she went into the kitchen and made herself a hot grapefruit milk puff.

Scoop a few spoonfuls of sweet honey grapefruit tea sauce into a cup, pour in boiling hot milk, and stir gently to let the golden grapefruit pulp and honey blend perfectly with the white milk.

Finally, pipe a large, light, white cream cloud on top and sprinkle with a little bit of yellow grapefruit zest for garnish.

Holding this warm, sweet, and visually appealing drink, Su Xiaonuan nestled on the sofa, sipping it slowly, feeling completely healed.

After finishing her milk tea, feeling satisfied and relaxed, she quickly drifted off into a sweet dream.

...

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, making it a perfect day for an outing.

Su Xiaonuan drove her food-themed RV to the bustling Starlight Amusement Park in the city center.

The giant Ferris wheel, the screams of the roller coaster, and the cheerful music filled the air with a joyful atmosphere.

She parked her car on a slightly elevated platform near the entrance, making it easier for her to be seen.

She opened the side windows and rear door, and began preparing for today's "battle".

In pursuit of the ultimate taste, she chose to make the crust on-site.

Add yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil, and warm water to the high-quality high-gluten flour provided by the system, knead into a smooth and elastic dough, and place it in a warm place for the first fermentation.

While waiting for fermentation, she began preparing the other ingredients.

The durian flesh is made from the highest quality Golden Pillow durian.

Carefully peel back the hard outer shell to reveal the plump, golden-yellow flesh inside, with its intensely aromatic flavor.

She used a spoon to mash the fruit pulp into a smooth paste, retaining some small fruit fibers to enhance the texture.

That unique and intense "stinky fragrance" instantly spread, captivating those who love it and repelling those who hate it.

Shredded mozzarella cheese is a must, providing the perfect cheese pull.

She also prepared some extra cheddar cheese shreds to add layers of flavor and a richer milky aroma.

She also prepared mayonnaise, a small amount of corn kernels, and shredded green and red bell peppers.

It's optional, offering a variety of colors and flavors, but traditional durian pizzas usually don't include it. Su Xiaonuan prepared a little bit for those who like it to choose from.

And the egg yolk wash for brushing the edges of the pancakes and the Parmesan cheese powder for sprinkling on top.

As she was intently taking out the fermented dough, preparing to deflate it and shape it into a round cake, her peripheral vision inadvertently caught a glimpse of the bustling crowd outside the car.

On a bench at the entrance of the amusement park sat a couple who looked very affectionate.

The girl, dressed in an adorable babydoll dress, leaned on the boy's shoulder and acted coquettishly. The boy, in turn, put his arm around the girl and whispered something, making her giggle.

This is a very common scene in an amusement park.

However, when Su Xiaonuan's gaze swept over the boy's profile, she suddenly stopped!

That face... looks familiar!

She stared intently—although he had changed to a more youthful, trendy hairstyle, wore a loose sweatshirt and ripped jeans, and tried hard to dress like a big boy, his eyebrows, his features…

[WARNING! Target with 'Sin Value' of 56 detected within range! Location: Bench to the left front, 15 meters away!]

[Target Information: Online fraud (principal perpetrator), romance scam, huge illegal profits.]

The system's alarm sounded like ice water being poured over her head, instantly waking Su Xiaonuan up completely!

It's him! He's the mastermind behind the online romance scam that Xu Zhixian and his team are investigating! The scumbag who used a fake identity and emotional manipulation to swindle a male student from C University out of his tuition and living expenses!

Su Xiaonuan was startled at first, then a surge of barely suppressed joy welled up inside her!

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!

Yesterday I was thinking about how to find him near C University, but I didn't expect him to deliver himself to my door today. He even dared to bring his new "target" to the amusement park in broad daylight? He's really got some nerve!

She quickly suppressed her excitement, keeping a straight face, and continued her work, but the corner of her eye was like the most sophisticated radar, firmly locking onto the couple on the bench.

She placed the rolled-out round dough into an oiled pizza pan and pressed a thick rim around the edge of the dough with her fingertips.

Then use a fork to prick small holes evenly in the center of the crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Next, Su Xiaonuan began assembling the pizza.

First, spread a thin layer of base sauce—she made it by mixing a small amount of durian pulp with mayonnaise to enhance the flavor—and then sprinkle on a thick layer of stringy mozzarella cheese shreds.

Then, generously top it with a thick layer of golden, fragrant durian pulp, almost completely covering the crust! Finally, sprinkle on another layer of shredded cheese mixed with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Place the prepared raw pizza into a preheated pizza oven.

Under the intense heat, the cheese melts and boils rapidly, creating tempting bubbles; the aroma of durian becomes even more intense and sweet under the heat, intertwining and blending wildly with the milky aroma of the cheese and the wheat aroma of the bread, forming an extremely aggressive and seductive aroma that spreads powerfully like an invisible hook!

"Wow! What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"Oh my god! It's a durian pizza!"

"This tastes amazing! Where is it? Where is it?"

The aroma lived up to expectations, instantly capturing the senses of the large number of visitors at the amusement park entrance!

People followed the aroma and turned their attention to the silver-white gourmet RV.

Of course, that also includes the couple on the bench.

The girl sniffed hard, shook the boy's arm, pointed at Su Xiaonuan's stall, and her eyes lit up: "Honey! The durian pizza smells so good! Let's go buy one and try it!"

The boy was clearly tempted by the aroma, but he seemed hesitant about the price, his eyes darting around in a struggle for a moment.

But seeing his girlfriend's expectant eyes and smelling that irresistible fragrance, he nodded and walked towards the stall with his arm around her.
