Chapter 24: [Chen Huihui

Huang Xi's plan was written very concisely and clearly.

She divided the meal tickets into four categories: breakfast tickets, small steamer tickets, dim sum tickets, and meat/vegetable tickets.

There were two types of breakfast tickets: 5 yuan including 1 baozi, 1 tea egg, 1 soy milk; 6 yuan including one more baozi. (Flavor random)

There were two types of small steamer tickets: 30 yuan for one basket of choice or 55 yuan for two baskets of choice.

There were three types of dim sum tickets: 150g dim sum ticket, 250g dim sum ticket, 500g dim sum ticket; dim sum could be mixed.

Meat/vegetable tickets were for lunch and dinner, respectively: one meat one vegetable, two meat one vegetable, one meat two vegetables, and three meat two vegetables.

The above 4 types of tickets could be matched by day, and each day was 1 breakfast ticket/1 small steamer ticket + 1 meat/vegetable ticket + 1 dim sum ticket or 1 breakfast ticket/1 small steamer ticket + 2 meat/vegetable tickets.

Buying 15-day tickets gives 5 150g dim sum tickets.

Buying 30-day tickets gives 15 150g dim sum tickets + 3 small steamer tickets.

Buying 90-day tickets gives 45 150g dim sum tickets + 15 small steamer tickets.

Buying 180-day tickets gives 100 150g dim sum tickets + 40 small steamer tickets.

Buying 365-day tickets gives 230 150g dim sum tickets + 100 small steamer tickets.

The sales idea was only one: buy more and get more, and buying tickets would be cheaper than ordering individually.

Along with the ticket plan, there was also a "continuous eating" activity. When customers check in for 7/15/30/45/90/180/365 consecutive days, the canteen would give away dim sum tickets and small steamer tickets.

Besides the ticket plan, Huang Xi also attached a member collection plan.

Tickets could be paper tickets or electronic tickets, depending on the customer's choice. Customers who bought tickets would automatically become members, and consumption could earn points, which could be exchanged for dim sum.

At the same time, there was an illustration function in the membership, where members could unlock an illustration for every dim sum they bought. Each dim sum would have a leaderboard, and members who bought the most of a single dim sum in the month could win an honorary title and a random small gift.

Because Qin Huai couldn't hold the plan and look at it directly in the kitchen, the plan was narrated by Qin Luo standing outside.

"This illustration function is good, it can be unlocked, there are leaderboards, and you can even win random gifts for monthly evaluations!" Qin Luo praised the plan endlessly. "This is too fun! If our school canteen had this function, I would definitely be the Tomato Scrambled Egg Star every month!"

"What Tomato Scrambled Egg Star?" Chen Huihong, holding Chen Huihui, came over upon hearing the sound, ordered the same menu as yesterday, and seeing that there were still a dozen crab shell yellows left on the iron tray, wanted to pack them all to take to the office to distribute as welfare for the neighborhood committee.

Today, Chen Huihui was wearing double ponytails, a rabbit hairpin, a khaki skirt, and color-blocked leather shoes. The whole color scheme looked like a delicious chestnut cake.

"Brother Qin Huai, Mom said you made salad yesterday, but it wasn't very delicious. This is the salad dressing Mom bought to prepare for the cooking competition last month, this is caviar, this is mayonnaise, all new and unopened." Chen Huihui placed the things on the window one by one and made a cheering gesture.

"Brother Qin Huai, come on, I have several bottles at home, practice well, you can definitely make delicious salad!" It could be seen that Chen Huihui had learned the same enthusiastic heart as Chen Huihong.

Qin Luo was confused: "What salad? Brother, you mixed salad yesterday?"

Qin Huai:...

Huihui, this child, has a kind of enthusiastic heart that doesn't care about other people's lives.

"Just made it casually, it's not important." Qin Huai stuffed a small basket of Five-Diced Baozi to block her mouth, then stopped Chen Huihong, who had started counting how many crab shell yellows there were and was preparing to pack them all.

"Sister Hong, this batch of crab shell yellow has been out of the oven for a while. If you are not in a hurry, come later, eat them when they are just out of the oven and still hot and scalding, it's delicious."

Chen Huihong hesitated slightly, but still chose to pack them all.

This batch would be distributed to the staff of the neighborhood committee, and she would buy another batch just out of the oven for herself to eat.

"Sister Hong, your neighborhood committee's welfare is quite good, there is dim sum to eat." Qin Huai joked with a smile.

Chen Huihong didn't avoid it and said very straightforwardly: "Usually we buy some fruit and small biscuits. Now that your canteen is open, Xiao Qin, of course, I have to take care of your business. If there are difficulties, just say the word. The fruit from logistics companies, property companies, and supermarkets can also be changed to dim sum."

Qin Huai almost wanted to kneel down and hug Chen Huihong's leg and shout: Sister Hong, I really don't want to work hard anymore!

Of course, Qin Huai didn't do that. He just maintained his usual smile, and his voice was ten times more sincere: "Sister Hong, is there any dim sum you and Huihui want to eat?"

"Today's crab shell yellow was specified by Ouyang. Whatever you two want to eat tomorrow, I'll make it for you."

Chen Huihong began to think seriously. Although Chen Huihong had eaten quite a few good things, there weren't many well-known dim sum shops in the city. Qin Huai's craftsmanship could also be ranked in Chen Huihong's heart.

Buying a few to eat on the way to and from work was already excellent. If she could order specifically...

Chen Huihong felt she had to choose carefully. "Mantou." Chen Huihui said crisply. "Brother Qin Huai, I want to eat gray mantou!"

"Gray mantou? Buckwheat mantou?" Qin Huai asked. He didn't expect Ouyang to be right; the dim sum Chen Huihui loved was really mantou.

Chen Huihong nodded quickly, helping her daughter explain: "Yes, it's buckwheat mantou. My mom knows how to make it, and Huihui loves this. Every year when we go back for the New Year, she wishes she could hold it and gnaw on it every day. My brother and I don't like it, the texture is too rough."

"Making mantou, it's just the craftsmanship of a normal rural woman. When I was young, conditions weren't very good, and we could only eat mantou once a year, and it wasn't pure white flour. My mom didn't make much, and the craftsmanship was average."

"But my mom would add sugar to buckwheat mantou, add brown sugar, she loves sweet things, and when eating mantou, she would dip it in white sugar."

"If you ask what's good about it, maybe it's quite chewy? A bit hard, quite tiring for the cheeks."

Qin Huai:...

This didn't sound like an advantage either.

Huihui, this child's hobby, is it a bit too simple and unadorned? Could it be that she eats delicacies from mountains and seas at home every day, so she is very happy to eat coarse grains when she goes back to the countryside for the New Year?

Qin Huai could only nod, indicating that he would try his best to restore it.

Seeing that Chen Huihui specified mantou, Chen Huihong simply followed her daughter's wishes and agreed that mantou was fine.

Chen Huihui still had to go to school, and because the chat delayed time, she was afraid of encountering the morning rush hour traffic jam, so the mother and daughter simply didn't sit in the shop to eat and directly packed it to go.

When leaving, Chen Huihui waved at Qin Huai three times with a standard waving action very politely before bouncing away.

The next second, a game notification sound rang in Qin Huai's mind.

"Congratulations on discovering a new side quest, please check it in the quest bar."

Qin Huai looked at the steamer and shouted: "Luo Luo, come over and help me watch the small steamer, and by the way, press two sets of red bean paste baozi with the molds."

"Coming, coming." Qin Luo ran over. "Brother, are you going to the bathroom?"

"I triggered a new quest, I'm going to check the quest."

Qin Luo rolled her eyes at Qin Huai in disgust: "One set of rabbit baozi and one set of lion baozi?"

"Mom's technique for dotting eyes and cutting whiskers on lion baozi isn't good, it didn't sell out until late last night, so don't make lion baozi, make small elephants."

After Qin Huai finished speaking, he went to the shelf, pretending to look for something, and clicked in the air to start checking the quest.

Qin Luo curled her lips and started patting flour.

Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly: "These two children..."

The side quest Qin Huai newly triggered was:

1. 【Chen Huihui's Wish】: As a loyal believer of the "Flying Mantou Sect," the dim sum Chen Huihui loves most is not the two-color water chestnut cake, nor the Five-Diced Baozi that has recently become popular in the Cloud residential complex, but the simple and unadorned mantou. Unfortunately, no matter what kind of mantou she eats, Chen Huihui always feels something is missing, even if it's the buckwheat mantou that her grandmother made herself during the New Year, which wasn't delicious, was a bit hard to chew, and was hard to swallow, but which she couldn't bear to part with while holding one in her hand and gnawing on it slowly, giving it a unique flavor. Please make the "dream mantou" for Chen Huihui and let her eat the mantou she truly wants to eat.

Quest Reward: A Dream Segment of Chen Huihong, 【Chen Huihui's Affirmation】 (Choice: Yes/No)

Looking at this super-long quest detail, Qin Huai wanted to scratch his head a bit.

This wish of Chen Huihui is harder to understand than a mother asking a child what to eat tonight and the child saying "whatever."

What kind of taste is this, child?

Her taste is normal; she knows her grandmother's mantou is not delicious, but she loves to eat it.

But when asked what she really wants to eat, the answer is "I don't know."

No wonder they say pediatricians are hard to be; this diagnosis difficulty, even if the standard answer for reading comprehension comes, it won't work.

So...

Does Huihui want to eat delicious mantou? Or not delicious mantou?

Or mantou that reveals a trace of not delicious in deliciousness, and can taste deliciousness in not deliciousness?

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 25 =====

Or is it a steamed bun that tastes good but reveals a hint of bad, yet within that badness, one can still taste the good?
