Chapter 108: Big Order

Not long after the video call hung up, the high-quality soup was out of the pot.

Ouyang hadn't skipped work to come over yet, so Qin Huai tasted a small bowl himself first.

The taste was not bad.

Although it was bookish and lacked some imagination, the results were still visible.

Delicious.

Qin Huai rewarded himself with another bowl.

Just as he was drinking, Chen Huihong came. Seeing Qin Huai drinking high-quality soup, Chen Huihong knew that today's high-quality soup should be cooked well, so she strongly applied for a bowl.

"Sister Hong, why do you have time to come over this afternoon?" Qin Huai asked.

Based on Qin Huai's understanding of Chen Huihong, she generally wouldn't come to the canteen at a time other than the dim sum drop time. This time point was the high-quality soup drop time. Although Chen Huihong wouldn't cook, she had eaten quite a few good things.

She loved the white-case dim sum Qin Huai made, but the soup he cooked wasn't good enough, so Chen Huihong never came over at this time.

"My brother wants to find you for cooperation." Chen Huihong said.

Qin Huai put down the bowl of soup.

Chen Huihong's brother Chen Yingjun wanting to find Qin Huai for cooperation was a rare thing.

You know, the prosperity of the Cloud Canteen today was inseparable from Chen Yingjun's silent contribution.

Who recruited the service staff headed by Huang Xi?

Chen Yingjun's company's HR.

Who recruited the excellent backbone of the Cloud Canteen's breakfast—baozi, flower rolls, shaomai, wontons, fried dough sticks, and sponge cakes that had to be sold at a discount?

Chen Yingjun's company's HR.

Who donated the real money for Chen Huihong's gift, Qin Luo's high school admission quota?

Chen Yingjun.

When Qin Congwen sometimes worked too hard and made too many baozi that couldn't be sold, Chen Huihong finally bought them out as afternoon tea dim sum for company employees. Who was the one who really paid for these baozi?

Chen Yingjun.

Chen Yingjun, a gold-master father who hadn't had a name for a long time but had been paying silently, was the real gold-master father of the Cloud Canteen.

Now that Chen Yingjun took the initiative to propose cooperation with Qin Huai, Qin Huai felt that he had to listen carefully.

"What kind of cooperation does Chen Zong want to have with our canteen?" Qin Huai's tone became respectful.

Chen Huihong:...

Chen Huihong, who knew the specific values of Qin Huai's skill panel, felt that she seemed to know how Qin Huai's intermediate management came from.

"Well... although the types of companies my brother operates are quite many, and he is involved in large supermarkets and logistics, the main business is still property management companies, Xiao Qin, you know, right?"

Qin Huai shook his head, he didn't know.

He even suspected that Chen Yingjun was secretly opening restaurant chains, otherwise why was he so skilled when recruiting waiters and white-case dim sum masters.

"You've read the announcements in the owner group, right?"

Since Chen Huihong said so, Qin Huai knew.

"The announcement about paying property management fees, right? I've read it. It says that property management fees can be paid from September to October, and one-year, three-year, and five-year files can be paid. The more you pay, the more you get. You get supermarket cards, beauty cards, rice, flour, grain, oil, and mountain bikes."

"I heard Grandpa Qian and the others discussing it when I was making breakfast these two days. I feel that everyone is very active in paying property management fees, and our community's property management is doing quite well."

"It would be even better if the property management fee could be cheaper." Although Qin Huai had already lived in a high-end community, he hadn't adapted to the high-end community's property management fee.

It was too expensive. The property management fee of tens of thousands a year was enough to pay a year's rent in Qin Huai's hometown, Qu County, this small county town.

"Small matter, I'll tell my brother and let him waive your property management fee for 20 years." Chen Huihong indicated that it was just a matter of one sentence, anyway, it wasn't her own money. "The problem lies here. The popularity of our community is well-known, and no one sells it even if they want to buy a house. But my brother's property management company serves more than just our community. He has eaten too much dim sum in the canteen during this period, and suddenly had a whim, feeling that sending rice, flour, grain, and oil is not attractive, and wants to send dried tangerine peel tea additionally."

"Ah?" Qin Huai was bewildered.

This was really a whim.

Sending dried tangerine peel tea for paying property management fees, what a strange way to send it.

"He doesn't know about dried tangerine peel tea, but I do. Your buff of 1314 cups a day, more than that is ordinary dried tangerine, white fungus, and lotus seed soup, which is definitely not realistic."

Qin Huai nodded. "So I suggest he send dim sum gift boxes."

Qin Huai:?

Is this realistic?

Do you know how many owners there are in a community, Sister Hong?

If you send dim sum gift boxes for paying property management fees, and all of them are purchased from the canteen, and there is only one dim sum master in the canteen who can make dim sum gift boxes, Qin Huai.

Then the question comes, how long will Qin Huai die suddenly.

He is the boss, not a cow or horse.

How can there be such a cow or horse boss.

"My

"What a coincidence," Qin Huai said. "How did you know that Master Xiao Zheng is coming to our canteen for an exchange in a while? His father even bought him an apartment in the neighboring residential complex."

Hard work for you, Zheng Siyuan.

Let's be workhorses together.

"However, Sister Hong, I don't think it's very realistic for us to take on large-scale procurement for gift boxes of dim sum," Qin Huai said. "You probably have an idea of our canteen's daily production volume. It would be too much of a workload to produce gift-box-grade dim sum in large quantities without affecting our normal operations."

"I've considered that, too," Chen Huihong said. "The volume won't be particularly large. Xiao Qin, you could make those dim sum gift boxes that only contain four pieces."

"Four pieces of dim sum, four different designs, four different flavors. When the time comes, my brother can just say it's a limited edition, purely handmade, and custom-ordered from a specialized high-end dim sum chef. It can also serve as an advertisement for the Yunzhong Canteen."

"The volume isn't large, and it's easy. The only thing is that you'll have to put some thought into what dim sum to make. It's best to come up with a few different tiers, after all, there are differences in property management fees between residential complexes."

After Chen Huihong finished stating the requirements, she revealed Chen Yingjun's offer.

A flat rate of 500 per box.

A price that one could not refuse.

Qin Huai felt that for the sake of the Yunzhong Canteen's financial backer, spending more time thinking about it was his duty.

Boss Chen is still too wealthy.

As expected of someone who, after just a few words from his sister, decided to donate a sum of money to the school to renovate the playground.

"Sister Hong, leave it to me!" Qin Huai said firmly.

Although his finger techniques are only at the beginner level and there's a high probability he won't be able to make any exquisite or beautiful dim sum, he can practice!

Everything can be practiced!

He'll go back and flip through the complete guide to dim sum right now!

If he really can't practice it out, he'll beg Zheng Siyuan to help him do the work.

Just consider it helping Zheng Siyuan take on a big business deal.

"I heard from Luo Jun this afternoon that you snatched a new side quest from him to make dough fruits... What is that?" Chen Huihong asked curiously. "I've never even heard of it."

Just as Qin Huai was about to answer, his phone vibrated. He looked down and saw it was a message from Zheng Siyuan.

Zheng Siyuan: My dad said he wants me to go to your place and teach you finger techniques for a while. Aren't you practicing heat control? Why do you want to practice finger techniques again?

Zheng Siyuan: He said Did Luo Luo wants to eat dough fruits. How about I just go over and make them for Did Luo Luo? I think it's more important for you to practice heat control at your current stage; finger techniques can be practiced later.

Zheng Siyuan: Of course, if you are interested in finger techniques, you can practice them too. After all, you haven't had anyone teach you before, and finger techniques are still quite important in many types of dim sum.

Zheng Siyuan: My dad said he bought me an apartment in the residential complex next to yours, so it's good that I don't have to stay in a hotel. If you really want to learn finger techniques, I'll stay for a longer period. It just so happens that I can find someone to renovate the pastry shop during this time and replace it with a batch of new equipment.

Zheng Siyuan: What are your plans now?

Qin Huai: Can you come over tomorrow?

Zheng Siyuan:?

Qin Huai: I've taken a big order for you. You can teach me finger techniques while you work on the order.

Zheng Siyuan:?

Qin Huai: A very big order!

Zheng Siyuan:... Alright then, I'll book a flight for tomorrow morning.

Qin Huai put down his phone and said to Chen Huihong, "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. If nothing goes wrong, Sister Hong, you'll be able to eat it tomorrow."

"This task is too difficult, so I called in external help."

Very reliable external help.
