Chapter 135

Seeing Qin Huai and Qu Jing come to the kitchen together, Dean Qu's worried expression disappeared. While wrapping steamed buns, she secretly looked at Qu Jing.

Qu Jing wore a mask and smiled slightly at Dean Qu. The part of her face not blocked by the mask didn't change much, only her eyes were a bit curved.

Dean Qu got Qu Jing's smile very tacitly, and only then did she completely relax and wrap the steamed buns.

The secret communication between the two was only noticed by Qin Huai among everyone present; others didn't notice it at all.

The staff member next to Dean Qu asked Dean Qu in surprise: "Eh, when did Jingjing come?"

"Just arrived. She knew Master Xiao Qin and Master Xiao Zheng came to the welfare academy to do volunteer work today, and was afraid that there wouldn't be enough manpower, so she specifically asked for a few hours off to come over."

The staff member smiled and said: "Among the children who have gone out of our welfare academy for so many years, Jingjing is the most promising and comes back the most. Dean Qu, you have raised a good daughter. When Jingjing gets married one day, you will have to sit in the main seat."

The joking staff member looked only 35 or 6 years old, a few years older than Qu Jing, and presumably didn't know about Qu Jing's middle school days.

Dean Qu's expression didn't change, and she smiled and responded: "Yes, when Jingjing gets married, maybe she will really let me sit in the main seat."

Dean Qu was joking and teasing on this side, while Qin Huai's side was relatively quiet.

Only Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan knew how to wrap Guo'er, and others couldn't intervene at all, so the two were basically in a vacuum zone. Except for someone occasionally coming over to deliver ingredients, they spoke in a low voice that people on the side couldn't hear.

"What time are we going back?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

"5 o'clock or so, we'll go back after the Guo'er are wrapped." Qin Huai looked at the remaining ingredients and felt that it might not even be 5 o'clock.

No, Zheng Siyuan's work was too fast, right?

During the time he was away, how many times did the welfare academy staff wow? Are they teaming up to scam Master Xiao Zheng?

"4 o'clock or so." Qin Huai changed his words immediately.

"Those steamed buns..." Zheng Siyuan even wanted to wrap steamed buns.

"The people in the welfare academy will finish wrapping the steamed buns." Qin Huai said, "This can also be considered a collective activity. Look at how happy the children are wrapping."

Zheng Siyuan didn't speak anymore and continued to bury his head in hard work.

As Qin Huai expected, all the Guo'er were wrapped by 4 o'clock. Before leaving, Qin Huai specifically found Dean Qu and exhorted her that the shelf life of Guo'er was far less than that of steamed buns, and even if they were put in the freezer, they couldn't really be frozen for 10 days or half a month.

Not to mention that the cost of Guo'er was high, and the longer they were frozen in the refrigerator, the harder they were to eat. The best way to eat them was to finish them all in the shortest time.

Dean Qu nodded to indicate she had noted it, and led Qin Huai to the office to get the documents.

Qin Huai felt that he had entered and exited Dean Qu's office three times today.

"Xiao Qin, Jingjing told you just now, right?" Sure enough, in the office, Dean Qu still couldn't help but mention the matter just now.

"She told me."

"Do you really... not mind?" Dean Qu looked at Qin Huai.

"Really." Qin Huai looked at Dean Qu frankly.

What could he mind? Qu Jing wasn't even a human.

Qin Huai indicated that he, as a protagonist with a system, had a Bi Fang who was waiting to die, a Bai who was stingy, a Luan bird who dedicated herself without a next life, and it was very reasonable to have another unknown creature with severe self-harm tendencies.

What could he not accept?

Their Did Luo Luo, as a normal ordinary person, accepted the fact that her brother was a protagonist with a system when she was in kindergarten.

Although Did Luo Luo didn't accept it very much now.

"Dean Qu, I also grew up in a children's welfare academy." Qin Huai said, "You can't ask every child in the welfare academy to be a normal person, otherwise horror movies wouldn't always use us as material."

Dean Qu handed the documents to Qin Huai: "I am very happy that Jingjing can make a friend like you." "You said last time that you wanted to introduce a partner to Jingjing; I think it should be slowed down." Dean Qu said, "She already has a friend she can confide in; I think it's already very good."

Qin Huai felt that he should push Dean Qu's WeChat to Zheng Da, and let Dean Qu communicate with Zheng Da about the experience of not urging marriage.

In this way, Zheng Siyuan would probably be moved and stay in the Yunzhong Canteen to work for two years first.

"Dean Qu." Qin Huai took the documents, "Is there anything Qu Jing particularly loved to eat since she was a child?"

Dean Qu didn't expect Qin Huai's topic to change so quickly, thought for a while: "Does glutinous rice cake count?"

Qin Huai was stunned. He didn't expect Qu Jing to really love eating glutinous rice cake, and she loved it since she was a child. Then what about yam? Did the date paste and yam cake fall out of favor?

"When Jingjing was very young, maybe three or four years old, one winter our welfare academy cooked glutinous rice cake soup. Because Jingjing was very obedient since she was a child, and we never had to worry about her eating and sleeping, the glutinous rice cake in the glutinous rice cake soup cooked that time was cut into very small pieces. We didn't pay much attention to Jingjing when feeding her, and she ate it herself with a small spoon."

"As a result, she ate too much and her stomach ached from bloating, which scared us into sending her to the hospital overnight. We originally thought that the child had learned a lesson after eating too much, and wouldn't eat glutinous rice cake in the future."

"As a result, when we cooked glutinous rice cake soup a month later, Jingjing ate a big bowl again. At that time, Auntie Zhang, who had been taking care of Jingjing since she was a child, hadn't retired yet. If Auntie Zhang hadn't seen it, I guess she would have had a stomach ache and been sent to the hospital again."

"After Jingjing went to school, as long as her exam results were good, our welfare academy would make glutinous rice cake. She loved every kind of glutinous rice cake. Osmanthus glutinous rice cake, cooked glutinous rice cake soup, fried glutinous rice cake slices—there was no glutinous rice cake she didn't love."

"I remember Jingjing also specifically told me that the glutinous rice cake you made, Master Xiao Qin, was particularly delicious, and almost every night's dinner was glutinous rice cake."

Qin Huai left the welfare academy with the documents thoughtfully.

On the way back, Qin Huai drove seriously, and Zheng Siyuan sat in the passenger seat with his fingers constantly sending messages, presumably chatting with Zheng Da.

"Siyuan, I have a question I want to ask you." Qin Huai suddenly spoke.

Zheng Siyuan put down his phone, with an expression of "I knew it," and said: "You mean the meat filling stir-fried this afternoon, right?"

"I think what you said makes sense. Your performance in the welfare academy is indeed better than usual in the canteen. You used a big pot to stir-fry this afternoon, and the difficulty of controlling the heat with a big pot burning firewood is actually higher. But your filling this afternoon was also a normal performance, which shows that for you, the welfare academy is indeed a comfort zone."

Zheng Siyuan indicated that he had prepared this speech for an afternoon.

"No, I want to ask you what you think of the glutinous rice cake I made?"

Zheng Siyuan:?

"It's okay." Zheng Siyuan said, "I've only eaten it twice, and the taste is very normal. What's wrong?"

"Do you think there is still a lot of room for improvement?"

Zheng Siyuan thought seriously and shook his head: "Glutinous rice cake, to put it bluntly, is just glutinous rice cake."

"My dad told me that glutinous rice sounds very high-end, but essentially it is ordinary southern glutinous rice. The reason why glutinous rice cake is a palace snack is mainly because things are precious because they are rare. Northern glutinous rice is not suitable for making glutinous rice cake, and southern glutinous rice is worth a thousand gold when transported to the north."

"To say a thousand words and ten thousand words, glutinous rice cake has no technical content. The glutinous rice cake I make might be slightly better than yours because my pastry shop sells this snack every day, and I make more of it. If you make it every day like me, accumulated over time, you can also make the same."

After speaking, Zheng Siyuan guessed boldly: "Did Luo Luo wants to eat glutinous rice cake again recently?"

"But... is meat-filled glutinous rice cake not very good?"

Qin Huai looked at Zheng Siyuan deeply, feeling that Zheng Siyuan had really been hit too hard by the apple dough fruit.

Meat-filled glutinous rice cake—the adjective he used was actually "not very good."

Zheng Siyuan is really too inclusive now.
