Chapter 284: Chapter 186: Awakening

Ouyang fell into a long silence after hearing that he had to go all the way to Gusu to eat guo’er. Qin Huai didn’t mind his good friend’s silence because the Three Meat Buns in the steamer were ready.

[Three Meat Buns B-level]

Consistently B-level quality.

Stable performance.

Qin Huai lifted the lid himself, and as he opened it, steam surged out. The heat, mixed with the unique wheat fragrance of the buns, silently announced to everyone around that this batch of buns was truly delicious.

Those who often eat buns know that you can tell if buns are tasty just by their aroma.

Describing the smell seems abstract, but for every neighbor living in the vicinity of the Qin Family Breakfast Shop, especially the high school students who have to arrive at school by 7 o’clock, rise early every day, and come to the Qin Family Breakfast Shop hungry and full of anticipation just to eat the bun they’ve been dreaming of, identifying buns by their aroma is a fundamental skill.

The aroma of a delicious bun is different from that of an ordinary bun.

Especially with meat buns, although the filling is tightly wrapped in the bun skin, the aroma will still spread and mix with the wheat fragrance.

That sweet smell, filled with carbohydrates, fats, sugars, and a range of tastes embodying humanity’s most primal pursuit and desire for calories, quickly invades the nose of anyone in dire need of a delicious breakfast.

At that moment, all other smells like flowers, books, dust, and gasoline vanished away. Even if there’s a braised meat shop next door, the fragrance of their stew can be temporarily ignored.

In the entire world, only the aroma of the buns remains.

And it’s the aroma of buns hand-made by Qin Huai.

If anyone insists on asking what these buns made by Qin Huai taste like, these customers, who come every morning with the excitement of opening a mystery box to buy buns, will loudly tell them:

It’s the bun flavor!

It’s the kind of flavor where if you just get a little closer and take a deep breath, you’ll know this morning is solid, you’ve hit the jackpot, and you’ll be tasting the buns of your dreams!

It’s the bun flavor that makes people dare to queue up no matter the severe cold or scorching heat, whether it’s windy or raining, even on a typhoon day, as long as the Qin Family Breakfast Shop is open!

It’s the bun aroma that makes your saliva automatically secrete, and your brain starts visualizing; even before you get the bun in your hand, you feel like you’ve already eaten it!

Unfortunately, this feeling is only understood by the residents living near the Qin Family Breakfast Shop; the customers of Yunzhong Restaurant are destined not to understand.

That’s because the buns Qin Huai and Qin Congwen sell at Yunzhong Restaurant aren’t priced the same; they are sold separately.

When buying buns, they can’t experience the joy of opening a mystery box at all.

Qin Huai swiftly picked out the buns one by one and arranged them on the plates. He wasn’t sure about each employee’s appetite, but he knew that today everyone would eat more than usual. After all, after working for so long, even those with the smallest appetite should be hungry.

So when Qin Huai was wrapping the last batch of buns, he prepared it according to Qin Luo’s appetite and accounted for Ouyang, Chen Huihong, Chen Huixi, Luo Jun, Qu Jing, and even Chen Yingjun’s portion.

Qin Luo’s buns didn’t need to be wrapped in this batch. Qin Luo wouldn’t be home from school until evening, and by then Qin Huai would make them fresh for her.

Qin Huai served everyone a large plate full of buns, paired with unlimited refills of Dried Tangerine Peel Tea and a nourishing-looking Gastrodia stewed pigeon, making everyone feel a bit like it was the New Year.

The large plate of buns in front seemed plain, but in reality, it was so sumptuous.

Many of the Yunzhong Restaurant employees, from the time they joined the company until now, had never eaten so many Three Meat Buns.

It’s important to note that today’s Three Meat Buns were limited for purchase. The cafeteria couldn’t really enforce a 5-per-person daily limit, but they could enforce a rule of 5 per purchase, with many nearby residents lining up from morning until noon just to buy a few more buns.

But how many buns were there on the plates in front of everyone now?

A total of 12!

These aren’t just ordinary 12 Three Meat Buns; they’re a special privilege for the employees of Yunzhong Restaurant!

Carrying these 12 buns around Yunzhong District, you would be the most dazzling person in the entire district, outshining even Grandma Ding with her two large bags of Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns.

"Everyone has worked hard all day, have something to replenish your strength," Qin Huai said with a smile.

Without any need for Qin Huai’s invitation, someone had already started eating.

Leading the charge was An Youyou. She picked up a bun and stuffed it in her mouth faster and more decisively than Ouyang.

While the other employees were still hesitating whether the plate was meant for one person or several, whether to eat one or two and pack the rest to take home for the family, or just enjoy and eat to their heart’s content without thinking too much, An Youyou had already taken a bite.

An Youyou had already eaten Three Meat Buns yesterday.

But she felt it wasn’t enough, far from enough.

No matter how many delicious buns she ate, it would never be enough.

When she has money in the future, every morning she will have one Three Meat Bun, one Five Fillings Bun, one Four Happiness Dumpling, one Fermented Rice with Steamed Bun, whatever the cafeteria has, she’ll make sure to eat heartily before going to work.

Soon, the originally exhausted employees of Yunzhong Restaurant, slumped crookedly on their chairs, were all holding buns, happily devouring them, savoring each bite of bun followed by Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, their expressions filled with delight.

Qu Jing walked into the restaurant just as this scene unfolded.

As a professional neurologist, Qu Jing’s first instinct was to call the police.

Then Qu Jing took a look at what everyone was eating.
