Chapter 245: Chapter 171 Eat, All Edible!

That night, Qin Huai did not dream of Gong Liang impressively helping him complete a side quest.

He dreamed that Qin Luo was first in the class.

The dream was so bizarre that Qin Huai doubted if he was dreaming while still dreaming.

After Luoluo became first in the class, he strongly demanded crab roe shumai. Qin Huai, in a moment of joy, impulsively promised Qin Luo a whole month’s worth. As a result, Qin Luo ate so much crab roe shumai that he got sick of it, and ever since seeing shumai made him want to puke, the Qin Family Breakfast Shop never sold it again.

One can only say dreams are fantastical.

When Qin Huai woke up, he even pondered for a few seconds whether he had inherited a legacy, and whether he was in Qiu County, Shan City, or Gusu.

Finally, while brushing his teeth, Qin Huai reached a conclusion.

He had to take advantage of the last few days of the crab season to take a six-day long vacation back to Shan City to make crab roe shumai for Qin Luo. Qin Luo got sick from eating too much steamed hairy crab, and at the worst, just smelling the steamed crabs made him nauseous, but that was all when Qin Luo was much younger.

Since Qin Luo started middle school, this symptom of nausea from the smell of crabs has alleviated quite a bit. In second grade, he could already eat spicy crabs, and by third grade, he even followed the trend and ate crab roe soup dumplings.

That crab roe soup dumpling was either made horribly or too honestly, and it made Qin Luo puke again.

Come to think of it, Qin Luo hasn’t eaten any crab roe foods for a year.

After brushing his teeth, Qin Huai sent a message to Qin Luo.

Qin Huai: Luoluo, I’ll be coming back to Shan City in December. Want some crab roe shumai? Brother’s new recipe, it’s delicious.

Qin Luo responded immediately.

Luoluo: Yes!!!!!

Qin Huai raised his eyebrows.

Playing with his phone during morning self-study.

Lose two days of snacks during winter vacation!

.

After washing up, Qin Huai leisurely ate two tangerines. Perhaps because he ate them on an empty stomach, they felt a bit sour, so he ate a banana and then leisurely went out.

As Qin Huai was going downstairs, he bumped into Gong Liang coming back from a run.

It’s debatable whether running at this time could count as a morning jog, but Qin Huai thought anything before breakfast counted.

Thanks to the influence of the morning jog seniors at Yunzhong Restaurant, Qin Huai, although never a morning jogger himself, was quite familiar with it.

He took a glance at Gong Liang’s sportswear and shoes, the small bag at his waist holding his phone and a sweat towel, the almost invisible fine sweat beads on his forehead, and the collar that was obviously sweaty but covered by his jacket’s collar.

This was truly morning running.

Qin Huai smiled and greeted: "Mr. Gong, back from a morning run?"

Gong Liang nodded with a smile: "Ran a few laps. This place hasn’t changed much in decades."

"Your morning run habit is impressive. Running a few laps every morning, taking a shower and changing clothes, then having breakfast at Huang Ji across the street is perfect timing." Qin Huai remarked.

"Got used to it." Gong Liang chuckled, "When I graduated from vocational school and became a salesman, an old colleague in my department told me that in our line of work, you need good legs and feet. So I was scared into running every day after work and before work, practicing running until I got used to it. Now I can’t feel right if I don’t run."

Qin Huai listened, dumbfounded.

Gong Liang laughed heartily at Qin Huai’s expression: "Master Qin, I’m joking with you. When I became a salesman, it wasn’t as dangerous. Besides, I was selling silk all over the country, no need to go to the countryside to collect goods. I just like running and keeping fit, having eaten too many good things and sitting still, the health check showed this high and that high a few years ago. If I don’t move, I won’t live to spend the money I earn."

Qin Huai resumed his normal expression, joking with a smile: "I almost asked if you could outrun the robbers."

Gong Liang chuckled again and asked: "Master Qin, when do you think is a good time for me to go to Huang Ji for breakfast?"

"In about 40 minutes, around then the crab roe shumai should be just out of the steamer. You weren’t here yesterday, and yesterday’s crab roe shumai tasted normal. Rest assured, this morning you definitely won’t taste what you did the previous two times."

Faced with Qin Huai’s repeated assurances, Gong Liang immediately said how could he doubt Master Qin? Master Qin’s skills were undoubtedly without question, he just needed to arrive promptly at Huang Ji to eat.

The two parted ways, and Gong Liang joyfully hummed a tune as he went upstairs.

If life could display values, then above Qin Huai and Gong Liang’s heads, the words "Goodwill +10" in bold would have popped up precisely on time.

After the chat took up some time, when Qin Huai arrived at Huang Ji, Zheng Siyuan was already kneading dough.

"Morning." Zheng Siyuan greeted as calmly as ever.

Qin Huai went to select crabs and shrimp, and upon returning after picking crabs, found Zheng Siyuan already processing the meat filling.

It’s still wonton meat filling.

To be honest, there were times when Qin Huai thought Zheng Siyuan was quite boring. The red chefs at Huang Ji often held stereotypes about pastry chefs being boring or workaholics, which can’t be fully blamed on the folks at Huang Ji.

They weren’t familiar with many pastry chefs, and before Qin Huai arrived, the one they saw the most was Zheng Siyuan.

Qin Huai felt that when Zheng Siyuan was at Yunzhong Restaurant, he wasn’t as robotic as now. Maybe because Yunzhong Restaurant had a lot of tasks, and Qin Huai often came up with new things, sometimes needing dumplings, sometimes experimenting with fillings, so Zheng Siyuan couldn’t set a routine.

Now back in Gusu, with his pastry shop still under renovation, he could only stay at Huang Ji making snacks, living a copy-and-paste life daily.

Making wontons in the morning, fresh meat mooncakes and Dingsheng Cake in the late morning, occasionally switching to fresh meat mooncakes and flaky pastries, and going home in the afternoon to study stir-frying.
