Chapter 130

Zheng Siyuan packed up his things and happily went home from work.

Qin Huai was still thinking about how Qu Jing could be scalded like that by two Guo'er just out of the pot. He used his phone to search for any spirits from the Classic of Mountains and Seas that were particularly afraid of heat, but found nothing. He simply sat in the shop waiting for Qu Jing to come back to get the snacks, intending to chat a few more words.

When Qu Jing came back, Qin Huai smelled a faint scent of ointment on her.

Was she really scalded?!

"Are you okay?" Qin Huai pointed to Qu Jing's right forearm that had been scalded, "Our canteen has a first-aid kit. Do you want me to ask Sister Xi to bring it to you? You can handle it yourself; I believe you are definitely more professional than our shop."

"It's okay." Qu Jing said easily, "I said it's because I'm more afraid of pain. I just chatted with Auntie Zhang when I delivered the Guo'er. She said Mr. Luo's recent routine is very regular; he sleeps at one or two o'clock every night and gets up at 8 o'clock in the morning, coming to the canteen on time to drink Chen Pi tea."

"For the past two years, I've talked until my mouth was dry, but I couldn't make Mr. Luo's routine even slightly regular. Master Xiao Qin, this bowl of Chen Pi tea of yours has made Mr. Luo develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Your ability is really great." Qu Jing smiled.

"No, no, it's the foundation you laid these past two years." Qin Huai started the fake pleasantries, "Did you eat the Guo'er?"

Qin Huai noticed that Qu Jing didn't have the Guo'er in her hand when she came back.

Qu Jing nodded: "Mr. Luo said the recipe for the Guo'er was given to you by him. This snack should be eaten while hot; if it gets cold or is steamed again after getting cold, it won't be the original taste, so I ate it."

"When I went, Mr. Luo was organizing his butterfly specimens. I originally wanted to help, but he didn't let others touch them, so I stood outside the showroom and ate the Guo'er."

Qin Huai asked casually: "Did he buy a batch of new specimens?"

"It should be that he changed them." Qu Jing said, "I remember that the showroom was full of yellow butterfly specimens before, but now I can't see a single yellow butterfly; it should be that he changed a batch."

Qin Huai was stunned.

He originally wanted to chat awkwardly to get information out of Qu Jing, but now he wasn't very concerned about Qu Jing anymore; he was a bit concerned about Luo Jun.

"They were all yellow before?" Qin Huai was very surprised.

He had just seen the butterfly specimen showroom in Luo Jun's house, and there wasn't a single yellow butterfly. Qin Huai thought Luo Jun didn't like yellow butterflies.

Qu Jing nodded: "At least three months ago they were. That time when I went to give Mr. Luo a physical examination, he was wiping the shelves in the showroom. I stood at the door and waited for him for a while, and took a few looks at the butterflies inside; everything that came into view was yellow."

Qu Jing's words made Qin Huai even more surprised. Luo Jun actually wiped the shelves himself.

He was the kind of person who was too lazy to bend down to pick up 100 yuan if he dropped it.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Qu Jing suddenly remembered, "Mr. Luo's first donation has already been spent by Mother Dean. The children who need treatment are all undergoing treatment, and the children who need to go to special schools have all entered special schools."

"I just asked Mr. Luo when he would go to the welfare academy for an inspection. He said you are his heir, and asked you, Qin Huai, to check for him to see if the children have all received treatment and education." Qu Jing looked at Qin Huai, "Look at what time you can..."

"Anytime is fine." Qin Huai said.

Luo Jun had told him about this. Luo Jun didn't care about this money, and at the same time, he was too lazy to go to the welfare academy again, because the welfare academy was really too far away.

But Luo Jun insisted that the welfare academy might be a major breakthrough in exploring Qu Jing's secrets, and told Qin Huai not to give up on the welfare academy line, always insisting that since the money was donated, he had to check the accounts to see if it had been misappropriated or embezzled. This made Dean Qu always highly nervous, and she sent several WeChat messages asking Luo Jun when he could visit the welfare academy and check the accounts by the way.

After all, only by checking the accounts and confirming that the charitable funds were spent in the right places could Dean Qu open her mouth to ask for the second donation.

Dean Qu, who had finally met a generous philanthropist, was almost anxious to death.

Qin Huai felt it was time to go to the welfare academy.

It had been a while since the last steamed buns were finished, and the children were just waiting to be fed. It just so happened that he was in urgent need of a batch of diners who weren't picky eaters to practice Guo'er, so he would choose this batch of children!

He would stir-fry the filling!

"Better to hit the sun than to choose a day; I think tomorrow!" Qin Huai said.

Qu Jing:? Was it so sudden?

"I'll get off work early tomorrow morning and borrow Sister Hong's car to drive to the welfare academy. I'll send you a list later, Qu Jing; you send the list to Dean Qu and let her go buy the ingredients. I'll go check the accounts in the afternoon and make some Guo'er by the way." Luo Jun's car was too high-profile; Qin Huai felt it was better to borrow Chen Huihong's Bentley to go to the welfare academy to do volunteer work.

Qu Jing was surprised by Qin Huai's amazing ability to act. She was stunned for a long while before nodding: "Okay, I'll tell the dean."

Then she added: "Qin Huai... have you always been this... efficient in doing things?"

"It's okay." Qin Huai felt that the chat was almost over, and it was time to officially get off work, "Master Xiao Zheng is the one who is truly efficient; I sent him a message at night, and he flew here the next morning."

"Oh right, I'll ask Master Xiao Zheng if he wants to go to the welfare academy together tomorrow."

Qin Huai sent a message to Zheng Siyuan while going to the locker room to change clothes.

Qin Huai: There is a business trip activity tomorrow afternoon, do you want to participate? If not, our teaching will be paused for a day, and you can also take a break for the afternoon; you've worked hard these past few days.

Zheng Siyuan, who had already returned home, had rested for a while, and was having a video call with his father to study stir-frying the filling:?

Business trip?

Zheng Siyuan: Where is the business trip?

Qin Huai: Children's welfare academy in the suburbs, public welfare business trip, making Guo'er.

Zheng Siyuan didn't expect Qin Huai to be so enthusiastic about public welfare, and he was very impressed, immediately indicating that he could go.

Zheng Siyuan: Go, I'll stir-fry the filling.

Qin Huai: No, I'll stir-fry the filling tomorrow! I think I can do it.

Zheng Siyuan:...

Zheng Da, who noticed on the other side of the video that his son had started to be absent-minded, his expression became a bit solemn, and he looked like he had something to say, asked with concern: "What's wrong, Siyuan? Is there a girl you like? Tell Dad, Dad will teach you how to chase a girl! Strive to get engaged this year, married next year, and let Dad hold a grandson or granddaughter the year after or the year after that!"

Zheng Siyuan was even more speechless: "Dad, why can you pull everything to matchmaking and marriage? Qin Huai just sent a message saying he's going to the welfare academy to do volunteer work tomorrow, and I'm discussing the specific matters with him."

Zheng Da was even happier: "Doing volunteer work is good; doing volunteer work shows kindness. Your uncle has been looking for a girl for you during this time, and she just likes people with kindness. She is also in the same industry as you, also a pastry chef. When you come back, I'll arrange for you to meet and have a meal."

Zheng Siyuan ignored it directly: "Dad, what I just told you, why does the filling I stir-fried still seep oil after steaming when I clearly felt it was dry enough? The second time I intentionally stir-fried more oil out, and there was no oil seepage, but I feel the taste is far inferior to the first time."

Zheng Da was also led back to the topic: "Siyuan, have you ever thought that it's not a problem with stir-frying?"

Zheng Siyuan showed a puzzled expression.

"I've read this recipe; it's very bold, and your uncle said that the person who came up with this recipe must be a master of savory dishes. The recipe is also written in great detail, adding chicken soup to simmer after stir-frying, and even the heat, time, how to stir, and what state is best are written clearly, which shows that simmering is also a very important link."

"Is it possible that there is no problem with your stir-frying, but there is a problem with the simmering?" Zheng Da asked.

Zheng Siyuan was stunned.

"Last time your uncle joked and asked Xiao Qin to come to Huang Ji Restaurant to help make snacks when he had time. Now that your uncle has read this recipe, he really wants Xiao Qin to come to Huang Ji Restaurant; he will stir-fry the filling, and you and Xiao Qin will knead the dough."

"If it weren't for his bad back and not wanting to toss himself to make a trip, I guess he would have wanted to go over."

"He said that the snacks made from this recipe must be very delicious."

"It's just that the name of this snack is so weird; why is it called Guo'er?"

Zheng Siyuan: "... The name is just this name; why it's called this, I don't know either."

"Anyway, the recipe Qin Huai got is like this." Zheng Siyuan said firmly.
