Chapter 288: Chapter 187 This is a Plot I Could Only Dream Of_2

When it came to the small matter of renting an apartment, Gong Liang agreed quickly, saying it was no problem and he’d have his assistant handle it. It would be sorted out by the next day, so Qu Jing could move right in when she arrived in Gusu.

Gong Liang himself and his wife and kids were not in Gusu at the moment. Qin Huai was not at Huang Ji, Zheng Da had skipped out of work, Huang Shengli wasn’t interested in dropping by, and even Huang Jia didn’t want to make the staff meals.

Seeing nothing good to eat, Gong Liang started eating his way through the restaurants listed in the Taste magazine, starting from the first issue. Currently, he was in Beiping, happily enjoying himself.

After asking Gong Liang for help with the apartment, Qin Huai also looked up the address of the hospital branch where Qu Jing worked in Gusu, which was far from Huang Ji.

Huang Ji was in the old town area, and the hospital was in a newly developed CBD district. The subway didn’t go directly there, and driving took a full 40 minutes, assuming traffic was good.

Qin Huai figured that during the workweek, it was unlikely Qu Jing would come to Huang Ji to eat snacks, so he could just whip up something special on weekends.

The second day, Qin Huai was, as usual, selling Three Meat Buns.

With the burst of sales the previous day, both customers and the staff of Yunzhong Restaurant were quite accepting of the booming business.

With Qin Huai commanding the kitchen and Huang Xi directing the dining area, Yunzhong Restaurant ran smoothly from start to finish. Even though the line of people kept growing rather than shrinking, and there were so many delivery guys in line that it seemed like half of Shan City’s delivery workers were lining up at Yunzhong Restaurant for buns, Huang Xi handled it well. She even opened up an emergency queue specifically for buying buns, to avoid the long line affecting regular dining.

On the third day, Three Meat Buns continued to sell like hotcakes.

The staff at Yunzhong Restaurant were working on autopilot, and Pei Xing and Li Hua almost forgot they were no longer apprentices, but accomplished snack chefs who could work independently.

Every day, from the moment they opened their eyes, all they saw was cutting vegetables and making fillings. Their first reaction on seeing Qin Huai was to bow their heads and greet him, saying, "Master Qin, you’re here."

They were unimaginably humble, and incredibly efficient at their work. Anyone watching couldn’t help but praise how much better trained professionals are, saying those from Zhiwei Restaurant are truly expert helpers!

On December 22nd, it was the last day of the Three Meat Buns extravaganza at Yunzhong Restaurant.

Because on the 23rd, Qin Huai was returning to Gusu.

There was no other way — this vacation was only six days long in total.

When Huang Xi announced that Qin Huai would return to Gusu on the 23rd, the groups of foodies and local residents, even the hospital work groups, were filled with cries of despair. Everyone who’d tried the Three Meat Buns in recent days felt as if the sky was falling.

Everyone wanted to grab Qin Huai by the neck, shake him madly, scream and howl, crawl in distortion and shout, "Master Qin, you have no heart!"

How can you do something so heartless!? How can you sell Three Meat Buns so wildly for a few days, just as we started to get a taste and look forward to life, only to run away?!

What’s so great about Gusu? Are the foodies in Gusu as passionate as we are? Why must you go to Gusu?

What can you learn in Gusu???

What, you say that Master Qin’s skills improved drastically after going to Gusu, and that’s why the Three Meat Buns became so delicious?

I don’t care, Master Qin, you can’t leave, I haven’t had enough yet!

How can we live without your Three Meat Buns!

No matter how much the foodies wailed in their hearts, Qin Huai was determined to return to Gusu.

He still needed to work on his Fire Control.

Not to mention, he had promised Zheng Siyuan to work in Gusu until the end of the year, staying till Huang Shengli fully recovered from his back issues and could return to work in the kitchen before leaving. To Qin Huai, a promise that he could keep and had already made was unbreakable.

For instance, he had already found a tutor for Qin Luo, just waiting for Qin Luo to finish this semester before going to Gusu for extra lessons.

Of course, Qin Luo was not aware of this.

No matter how many times Qin Huai emphasized it to her, Qin Luo never took the winter tutoring seriously.

Right now, she was at the airport, clutching her brother’s arm, teary-eyed, saying that the most his prepared snacks could keep in the freezer was a week before they became bad.

"Brother, can’t you stay a few more days before leaving? I feel like I haven’t eaten much, and you’re going back again. Do you know how much everyone will miss you? Yesterday, Grandma Ding lined up from 8 AM to 5 PM just to buy a few more Three Meat Buns to stock up on." Qin Luo tried to play the emotional card to make Qin Huai stay a couple more days.

"Weren’t you in class yesterday? How do you know that? Plus, yesterday the Three Meat Buns were only sold until 1 PM, and the rest of the time I was making you other snacks. How did Grandma Ding manage to queue from 8 AM to 5 PM?" Qin Huai was having none of it.

Qin Luo’s well-rehearsed emotion paused: "I made it up."

"It’s an exaggerated rhetorical device, you don’t get it, brother."

Given that Qin Luo didn’t pass her middle school Chinese exam, Qin Huai thought she shouldn’t talk to him about rhetorical devices.

"Alright, stop acting. This semester is about to end, and you won’t get to eat Dad’s buns for many days. This morning at home, you insisted on getting time off to see me to the airport. Now that I’m here, hurry back to class." Qin Huai patted Qin Luo’s shoulder, signaling her not to use this as an excuse to skip class.

Qin Luo pouted, put away her sad expression, and quietly walked back.

Qin Huai smiled at Chen Huihong, who had also come to see him off: "Sister Hong, thanks for coming to see me off, and please take Luo Luo back to school later."
