Chapter 253: Chapter 173 Master Qin is Back!_3

"Don’t worry, I’ve seen your monthly exam scores from the past two months. They were quite good. Our Luoluo has been studying hard during this time and hasn’t had anything decent to eat, poor thing."

"I’ve got half a suitcase full of guo’er’s dough, along with the dough for the flaky pastry your Brother Si Yuan made, Dingsheng Cake, and fresh meat mooncake. I’ll steam and bake them for you when we get back."

"Did you eat anything today?"

"I ate a roasted chicken leg," Qin Luo said honestly.

Qin Huai understood; she had an appetizer of chicken leg, just waiting for him to come back and make something delicious.

"Then have some flaky pastry to tide you over when we get back. If there’s anything you want to eat, just say it, and I’ll make it for you."

"These few days, I’ll let you eat to your heart’s content!"

Qin Luo initially tried to act cool, trying to pretend she wasn’t the kind of sister who could be pacified with a little treat, and thinking to herself how her brother didn’t have her in his heart for not coming back for more than a month. But when she heard Qin Huai’s last sentence, she couldn’t hold back and laughed so much that her molars showed.

She couldn’t hold back, really couldn’t.

Qin Luo now regretted buying a roasted chicken leg from the pedestrian street by the mall that morning.

Oh dear, why did I have to eat a chicken leg? If I had known there would be plenty of snacks and the option to order meals, I shouldn’t have eaten starting from yesterday!

Qin Luo happily helped Qin Huai with his suitcase.

"I didn’t ask earlier, why did you come to pick me up at the airport?" Qin Huai walked outside with Qin Luo.

While looking for the car, Qin Luo said, "Mom said I spent the whole morning at the cafeteria jumping around, too restless to sit still, and was annoying to watch. She told me to come pick you up so you wouldn’t have trouble finding the driver Uncle Chen arranged."

It took Qin Huai a few seconds to realize that the Uncle Chen Qin Luo was talking about was Chen Yingjun.

He called Chen Huihong Sister Hong, and Chen Huixi called him Brother Qin Huai, while his sister called Sister Hong’s younger brother Uncle Chen.

Great, everyone indeed has their own way of addressing people.

Quickly, Qin Luo led Qin Huai to the car. The driver Chen Yingjun arranged was a simple-looking middle-aged man who drove silently throughout the journey. Qin Huai and Qin Luo chatted enthusiastically in the backseat.

"How has the cafeteria been doing while I was away for more than a month?" Qin Luo asked.

"Quite well, anyway, everything could be sold out." Qin Luo, who had to attend school, didn’t have a specific understanding of the Yunzhong Restaurant’s business, "We were short-staffed, so we hired two more general workers; the kitchen has new helpers too, though I’m not very familiar with them."

Qin Huai knew about hiring new helpers, as Huang Xi had discussed it with him, and he had agreed.

Though Qin Huai wasn’t at Yunzhong Restaurant for more than a month, before he left, he had hired two decent pastry chefs, both at a restaurant level.

Qin Huai had become popular at Huang Ji, and having two restaurant-level chefs at a community restaurant was more than sufficient. Though diners were slightly dissatisfied (their skill level wasn’t as high as Qin Huai’s), there was no choice. Besides Yunzhong Restaurant, the snacks from other stores tasted worse.

People could only mutter about when Master Qin would return, while honestly patronizing the place daily.

With Li Hua and Pei Xing being very experienced professional chefs with stable styles and high efficiency, the cafeteria’s efficiency improved further once they had the needed helpers. During this time, Yunzhong Restaurant’s turnover actually increased rather than decreased.

Plus, the boss wasn’t out having fun; he had taken another job with a super high salary. From a revenue standpoint, Yunzhong Restaurant hit the jackpot.

But from the visitors’ standpoint, everyone was almost crying with craving.

Indeed, Pei Xing and Li Hua’s culinary skills were pretty good, both having come from Zhiwei Restaurant.

Before Qin Huai had seen the world, he didn’t understand the importance of coming from Zhiwei Restaurant, but now he realized deeply that if it weren’t for Zheng Da making introductions, it would have been impossible for these two chefs to work at Yunzhong Restaurant.

However, guests at Yunzhong Restaurant had tasted better things.

Qin Huai, Zheng Siyuan, and Zheng Da.

In a way, Yunzhong Restaurant’s guests had also seen quite a bit of the world.

Without comparisons, there wouldn’t be disappointment; even with a formal background, Pei Xing and Li Hua couldn’t match Qin Huai, Zheng Siyuan, and Zheng Da.

The guests at Yunzhong Restaurant were almost going mad missing Qin Huai.

The elderly people of Yunzhong District weren’t just chit-chatting in the Yunzhong Restaurant – it was pure longing, evoking memories through the scenery!

Everyone was thinking day and night, hoping for Qin Huai to return soon.

If he didn’t come back soon, everyone would almost forget what it was like to have Five Fillings Bun and Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns every morning.

They hadn’t realized the value of it when they had it every day, but now that it was gone, they learned to cherish it.

Not just the elderly of Yunzhong District, but also the office workers in nearby buildings were longing too.

Previously, they had criticized Yunzhong Restaurant’s breakfast for being expensive, hesitating even to buy Three Meat Buns and Five Fillings Bun. Now, they didn’t have the opportunity to complain about the prices because there simply wasn’t any to buy.

You can’t have it even if you want it; there’s no energy at work.

The breakfasts from the new chefs were fine, but they couldn’t replace the one they truly desired.

The worst part was subconssciously opening their phones after a morning of work, hoping to grab some Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, only to find none.

That really made them not want to work at all.

Many office workers didn’t dare to remember how they survived before without Three Meat Buns, Five Fillings Bun, and Dried Tangerine Peel Tea.

At 3:59 PM, a black sedan stopped at the entrance of Yunzhong Restaurant.

The elderly people, longing inside the restaurant, glanced out the window, didn’t care, and continued to reminisce.

Then the car door opened.

Qin Luo got out.

Sitting by the window, Xu Tuqiang said, "Luoluo is back from playing, huh, it seems like she came back so quickly."

Then Xu Tuqiang widened his eyes, rubbed them in disbelief, widened them again, and rubbed once more.

Only when Qin Huai walked to the trunk to get the suitcase did Xu Tuqiang dare to believe what he saw, standing up and shouting in surprise:

"Master Qin is back!"

"Oh my god, Master Qin is back!!!"

At once, the whole Yunzhong Restaurant was in an uproar; even the elderly people not sitting by the window rushed to the door or window, stretching their necks and widening their eyes to look outside.

Seeing the familiar face, tears almost fell from their eyes.

It was Qin Huai, really Qin Huai, he was back!

Two minutes later, photos of Qin Huai opening the trunk to get his luggage spread throughout the Yunzhong District owners’ group and Yunzhong Restaurant’s group purchase group.

That day, all the guests at Yunzhong Restaurant spread the word.

Master Qin is back. There will be breakfast tomorrow morning!

My wallet, what are you waiting for? I’ll name a price, 10 Five Fillings Buns, tomorrow I want to eat them!
