Chapter 372

~10 min read 1,998 words

At 2:27 PM, with the concerted efforts of Qin Huai and the three others, the last batch of Double Crab Buns was out of the pot.

This batch was not a mass shipment; in order to let Tan Tan Weian feel the importance the team attached to him as a member, Qin Huai and the three others specifically made a small-portion batch, making only 28.

The buns were packed up as soon as they were steamed and out of the pot; to prevent the texture from being ruined by being stuffy in the thermal bag, Zang Liang didn't even dare to use a thermal bag.

In order to let Tan Tan Weian eat fresh and hot Double Crab Buns, Qin Huai didn't participate in the final steaming process at all. As soon as the Double Crab Buns were put into the steamer, he went to the underground garage to drive, parking the car directly at the canteen entrance to wait for the buns to come out of the pot, so as to facilitate driving straight to the hospital at the first moment.

At 2:28 PM, Qin Huai and the three others, carrying 28 buns, drove Luo Jun's double-R logo car straight to the hospital. Zang Liang and Zheng Zheng Siyuan sat in the back row, and the 28 buns sat in the passenger seat, neat and tidy, not one missing, representing everyone's importance to Tan Tan Weian.

As for whether Tan Tan Weian could eat 28 buns alone...

It's not important; if it really doesn't work, distribute them to the patients and family members in the ward. The family members in Tan Tan Weian's ward were quite good; when Tan Tan Weian was hospitalized on the first day, he had no experience, and Seeing Ouyang was also careless, not buying Tan Tan Weian a towel, washbasin, or toothbrush, although he did buy two cups.

In the end, it was the family members of the patient in the same ward who helped Tan Tan Weian buy them, buying a small green towel and a small pink washbasin. Every day, the green towel was placed in the pink washbasin, and the color matching had a very visual impact.

Qin Huai sat in the driver's seat, driving with focused attention. Zheng Zheng Siyuan sat in the back row, somewhat speechless, and asked: "You and Zang Liang can just go deliver the buns, why do I have to come too?"

Master Xiao Zheng expressed that he was not interested in going to the hospital to deliver buns to Tan Tan Weian; with this time, it would be better to make some dim sum at the Yunzhong Canteen.

If it really doesn't work, eating shaved ice at the amusement park is also acceptable.

"Don't you want to see Tan Tan Weian's surprised, envious, and happy expression when he eats the successful Double Crab Diced Baozi?" Qin Huai asked.

Qin Huai had already thought about what expression Tan Tan Weian would show; Tan Tan Weian could only show those expressions anyway.

Zheng Zheng Siyuan thought for a while: "A little, but there's no need for me to go, Zang Liang will take pictures."

Zang Liang patted his chest: "I've got it, buddy."

Qin Huai:... Tan Tan Weian having a good brother like you is truly his blessing.

"Since you're here, just come together, I also happen to have something I want to tell you." Qin Huai glanced at the navigation, confirming he hadn't taken the wrong road.

He usually drove to the hospital where Qu Jing worked more often; Tan Tan Weian was staying in a public hospital this time, which was not in the same direction. Qin Huai had habitually driven toward the hospital where Qu Jing worked just now and almost took the wrong road.

"What is it?"

"Now that the Double Crab Diced Baozi is basically completed, when do you plan to go back?" Qin Huai asked.

Zheng Zheng Siyuan was stunned; he obviously hadn't thought of this, and he himself had almost forgotten why he came to the Yunzhong Canteen, always feeling that it was normal to have to come to the Yunzhong Canteen every once in a while.

"Let's see the situation." Zheng Zheng Siyuan said. "My dad and my mom are still vacationing in Sanya; if I go back, I'll be living alone. The dim sum I make here is basically the same as the dim sum I make at the pastry shop when I go back, the price is the same, it's fine anywhere."

Zheng Zheng Siyuan's implication was obviously: No rush, we'll talk about it later, let's work at the Yunzhong Canteen first.

The heart that likes to work for Qin Huai is moving.

"I'm not in a rush either." Zang Liang said hurriedly. "My master is still abroad and hasn't returned, and I originally came to learn seasoning; now, although I've learned a little bit of seasoning, I don't know why it mainly turned into learning thickening."

"The thickening technique you taught me, Qin Huai, is really a bit difficult; although the crab roe sauce uses it, I actually haven't learned it very clearly. Let me practice at your place for a while longer." Zang Liang also had the tone of "I want to continue staying at the Yunzhong Canteen to make staff meals for the family."

"But I plan to go to Gusu." Qin Huai said.

Zheng Zheng Siyuan & Zang Liang:? We two expressed our loyalty to stay and work for you, and you, the boss, want to run away?

"Are you going to Huang Ji?" Zheng Zheng Siyuan asked.

"Yes." Qin Huai nodded. "Although it's not the season for crabs to hit the market yet, and I can't make crab roe shumai, let alone authentic Double Crab Buns. But since we've already made the crab roe sauce version of the Double Crab Diced Baozi, I want to go to Huang Ji to sell Double Crab Buns for a few days."

"After all, the Double Crab Diced Baozi was originally sold in the state-run restaurant, and Huang Ji is the restaurant opened after taking over the state-run restaurant. I think selling Double Crab Buns at Huang Ji has a special meaning; maybe making Double Crab Buns at Huang Ji can also have a different feeling and experience."

"Not to mention that Mr. Gong is also in Gusu; if he knew I had made the Double Crab Diced Baozi, he would definitely want to eat it. Mr. Gong hired a tutor for Did Luo Luo, arranged for the cleaning staff to send me so many fruits and snacks before, and gave me such a big red envelope during the New Year." "Now that I've made the Double Crab Diced Baozi, if Mr. Gong can't eat it, I feel it's a bit unkind."

"Even if it's for Mr. Gong, I have to go back to Huang Ji to make Double Crab Buns for a few days."

After hearing Qin Huai's nonsense, Zheng Zheng Siyuan thought for a while and reluctantly felt it was acceptable: "If that's the case, when do you plan to go to Gusu? You have to tell my uncle about this in advance, so they can help you warm up over there, otherwise if you suddenly go over and start selling dim sum..."

"It doesn't seem like it's not possible, it's just that Huang Ji might have a longer queue than the Yunzhong Canteen these past two days."

"This will have to trouble you to help me tell Master Huang, because besides going to Huang Ji to sell Double Crab Buns, I also want to invite Master Huang to cook a table of good dishes personally. I haven't tasted Master Huang's craftsmanship for a long time, I miss it a bit... and, I also want to trouble Master Huang to cook a table of good dishes for Old Man Wang."

"The recipe for the Double Crab Diced Baozi was given to me by Old Man Wang, so it's only right and proper to return this favor."

Wang Wang Gensheng's side quest emphasizes that Wang Wang Gensheng wants to sit in Huang Ji and eat the Double Crab Diced Baozi once.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Wang Wang Gensheng can't complete this side quest if he eats the Double Crab Diced Baozi outside of Huang Ji. Qin Huai believes that these side quests are mainly based on dim sum; as long as your dim sum is awesome and good enough, let alone not in Huang Ji, even if he eats it on the moon... as long as the sense of taste is normal at that time, the task can also be completed.

But it is clear that if Wang Wang Gensheng eats it in Huang Ji, it can greatly lower his requirements for dim sum.

Qin Huai must drag Wang Wang Gensheng to Gusu and sit in Huang Ji to eat the Double Crab Diced Baozi.

Then play other emotional cards to conquer Wang Wang Gensheng's heart in one fell swoop.

Let those memories come like a tide, shouting about friendship, bonds, the past, and rush up—it's a combo skill, directly stunning Wang Wang Gensheng, and then one bite completes the side quest.

Considering that Master Jing has passed away for many years, Qin Huai can only invite Huang Huang Shengli to cook a table of good dishes, and he will make a plate of fermented rice steamed buns, and then serve them on the table together with the Double Crab Diced Baozi.

If he's lucky, he can take down Wang Wang Gensheng in one fell swoop.

If he's unlucky, he'll explore whether there are any stories about Wang Wang Gensheng that haven't been unearthed yet, and then play another combo skill.

As for how to drag Wang Wang Gensheng to Gusu at that time, Qin Huai said it was simple: just tell Wang Wang Gensheng that Master Xiao Qin needs him to go to Gusu, and Wang Wang Gensheng will definitely go without asking why.

This is Old Man Wang, this is the reputation of the Law Beast.

Zheng Zheng Siyuan nodded after hearing Qin Huai's words: "Okay, I'll find time to tell my uncle tonight, when do you plan to go back?"

"It should be the day after tomorrow, I have to prepare."

"Good."

Zang Liang was stunned on the side.

What good? What do you mean go to Gusu? Is there any logic in Qin Huai's words just now? Why must he go to Huang Ji in Gusu to sell Double Crab Buns?

But these are not the point; the point is, have you considered the life and death of me, Zang?

Huang Ji and our restaurant are nominally rivals; we both sell Huaiyang cuisine, although we are not in the same city, there is also a competitive relationship. Do you want me to go to Huang Ji with you to work and make Double Crab Buns?

When the boss finds out, will he wear small shoes for me, Zang, and deduct my salary? Then in what year and month will I, Zang, be able to earn enough money to open a restaurant myself and stand on my own?

"Do I have to go too?" Zang Liang asked.

"Zang Liang, if you feel it's inconvenient, you don't have to go. If it's at Huang Ji, Master Huang Huang Shengli can help us make the crab roe sauce." Qin Huai could roughly guess Zang Liang's concerns.

Zang Liang:? With Master Huang Huang Shengli, you don't need me, Master Xiao Zang?

He Huang... okay, Master Huang is indeed awesome, Zang Liang can't catch up, let alone compare to Huang Huang Shengli, he can't even compare to Huang Huang Shengli's eldest disciple, Huang Jia.

"I want to go!" Zang Liang stated his position on the spot. "How can there be no me in making the Double Crab Diced Baozi?"

"I am also a member of our team!"
