Chapter 176: Chapter 148: Explosive Sales_3

Came with unique skills.

Some diners have tasted Four Happiness Dumplings and Five Fillings Bun before, but never like this.

Some older regulars can tell that the Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns comes from Huang Shengli’s lineage, definitely the same style as Master Jing’s, not as good as Master Jing but close, which is impressive.

Some guests suspect they’ve guessed the truth.

"Could it be that Old Huang is not feeling well, seeing the restaurant struggling, and called Zheng Da back to help?" a loyal customer who has attended three weddings organized by the same couple at Huang Ji Restaurant speculated in Box 888.

This speculation received unanimous agreement from the majority of guests in Box 888.

Everyone is a regular, has attended the wedding banquets, and even occasionally goes to Zheng Siyuan’s pastry shop to buy snacks, well aware of his culinary skills.

Zheng Siyuan’s skills are decent, but the only excellent ones are things like Four Happiness Dumplings, Five Fillings Bun, and Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns, but on this level? No way.

A regular chews on a fresh meat mooncake: "This mooncake must be made by Little Zheng. Little Zheng’s pastry shop has been closed for renovation for a month. Who knows where he went during that time? Now being called back by Old Huang to help is possible too."

"Didn’t expect Zheng Da has been in the business for so many years, and he’s been hiding such great skills." Someone lamented.

"What did you expect? Haven’t you been to the first wedding of Old Gong and his wife? 28 years ago, when Zheng Da just started, the snacks at the wedding banquet were all made by him. His skills were impeccable."

"Compared to his dad, Little Zheng does fall short."

"Indeed," someone agreed while eating a Four Happiness Dumpling, "he doesn’t have as much variety as his dad."

"Zheng Da’s in the kitchen, it’s a rare chance, better order more. Waiter!"

The waiter came in, and the regular pointed at the heads: "Today’s new items, fifty of each, to go. No rush, but make sure we have enough for us."

"Alright." The waiter went to place the order.

This scene was almost repeating in every room, with some even calling friends to tell them Zheng Da was called back by Huang Shengli to cook, urging them to quickly come to Huang Ji and package some snacks, or they’d miss out.

Orders exploded for a while.

Qin Huai was dumbfounded.

Qin Huai suspected there might be an issue with the ordering system at Huang Ji Restaurant, and to verify, he even went outside to check whether the hall was full.

It wasn’t full at all!

So the question arises, how did so many guests order snacks five times the number of people?

Not just five times in total, but almost five times each type.

Aren’t the people of Gusu a bit too fond of snacks?

Is Huang Ji Restaurant planning to close down right after lunch and not do business anymore?

Do these snacks have to be bought during lunch, and cannot be bought in the evening?

Dear diners, some snacks are best enjoyed fresh from the oven. Things like Crab Shell Cake and Dream Come True Sesame Bun, do you think reheating them in the microwave will taste the same? Why order so many?

Order some dishes, look at the busy meat chefs in Huang Ji Restaurant’s kitchen, order some of their specialties!

The most crucial point is, he didn’t make that many!

This is the total amount for both lunch and dinner!

If you buy them all at noon, what is Huang Ji going to sell in the evening?

Wasn’t it said that working at Huang Ji Restaurant is quite easy? Why does Qin Huai feel the workload isn’t light at all?

The team leader was still directing the quantity check.

"Count each item one last time, report the exact numbers to me. All the snacks have been taken off the electronic menu. If there are any leftovers, put them back on."

"Count one final time, no mistakes in the numbers!"

"Box 666 wants to add more orders? Tell them there’s none left, really none. Can they pre-order? Tell them not for now, we’ve never had a pre-order policy for snacks."

Qin Huai numbly kneaded the dough.

To be honest, he’s not tired at all now.

During the morning when making snacks, he had professional and attentive helpers assisting him, so Qin Huai wasn’t actually exhausted.

But he’s mentally drained.

It seems like he’s looking at an endless life of making snacks.

These guests, they truly buy the snacks.

And they buy in large quantities.

Can Huang Ji Restaurant set a limit on snack purchases in the future? Customers should have to order a certain amount of dishes before buying snacks, otherwise, their snack purchases are just too outrageous.

Purely buying snacks without ordering a single dish.

When Qin Huai went outside earlier, he saw people just sitting on the bench at the door, purely waiting for snacks, not to dine.

There were even familiar delivery guys.

So familiar that Qin Huai felt like he’d come home.

Zheng Siyuan also started kneading dough.

"Hey, aren’t you making sticky rice cake?" Qin Huai asked.

Zheng Siyuan calmly said, "I’ll help you make some first."

Qin Huai was touched, a true buddy, no words needed. Although before I treated you like a workhorse, but now your Uncle is working me like a workhorse, so we’re even.

"Now you understand why I don’t want to work in the restaurant, but open a pastry shop at the entrance of the community." Zheng Siyuan said.

"I get it, totally get it." Qin Huai nodded frantically, "I’ve never missed my community canteen this much."

"Don’t make so many snacks in the future, this is different from Yunzhong Restaurant." Zheng Siyuan sincerely advised, "Two types are enough, no more."

"Yesterday Uncle cooked too much, seemed like his back wasn’t good again, went for therapy in the morning. When he comes in the afternoon, you don’t have to make snacks anymore, evening...more people, no matter how many you make, it’s not enough to sell."
