Chapter 300: Chapter 192 Gathering Together_2

"It’s always like this around midday. I’ve heard about it; even Huang Ji’s Young Master would get stuck on this road."

"Here’s the thing, I’ve made a bunch of different snacks for a tasting today. But you came late... I’ll try to set some aside for you."

"I’m technically an employee of Huang Ji now, so my relatives and friends can use my employee discount. Once you arrive, tell me what table you’re at, and I’ll have the master chef make something for you."

The head chef this afternoon is Huang Jia, as Huang Shengli didn’t come in at noon and is still at home preparing for tonight’s wedding banquet.

"Thank you, Godfather!" Ouyang said emotionally, hanging up the phone.

Qin Huai hung up the phone and noticed a message from Cheng Gong while he was making the call.

Cheng Gong was also stuck on the road and estimated he would be half an hour late.

What a coincidence.

Qin Huai thought for a moment and said to Zheng Siyuan, "Si Yuan, do you have a moment? Can you help mix some more apple dumpling filling for me?"

"Ouyang came to Gusu, and since he’s come all this way, I’ll make more dumplings for him."

Zheng Siyuan nodded, indicating no problem.

Today, Qin Huai made an exceptional number of Three Meat Buns.

More than the total number of Five Filling Buns made during all previous operating times.

As for why so many were made, Qin Huai could only attribute it to the practice he’d had at Yunzhong Restaurant over the past few days.

While working at Huang Ji, Qin Huai overall maintained a fairly leisurely status. Once things were sold out, that was that, and leaving work on time was always the priority. He wasn’t like at Yunzhong Restaurant, where they would stay later to make sure the neighborhood folks had enough to eat.

Now, being back at Huang Ji for the first day, Qin Huai hadn’t adjusted back, and unintentionally, he’d been a bit too efficient.

Qin Huai knew that Huang Ji was pricing the Three Meat Buns quite high this time, at 56 each, which seemed a bit outrageous for a Three Meat Bun.

The Five Fillings Bun was only 65.

Previously, the Three Meat Buns Qin Huai sold at Huang Ji weren’t at this price, but this price was set after the kitchen staff and lead chef ate the buns, called Huang An Yao and Huang Shengli, and discussed it together.

According to the head chef, a normal Three Meat Bun couldn’t be sold at this price, but this bun was worth it.

This Three Meat Bun tasted better than the Five Fillings Bun.

The pricing of Huang Ji Restaurant’s dishes was based on their flavors.

If the Three Meat Bun’s flavor had improved, keeping the price the same as before wouldn’t be fair to the Three Meat Bun.

So Huang Ji gave it a new name, the Premium Three Filling Bun, and priced it at an astonishing 56.

And the regulars queuing at noon to buy buns and steamed buns had no objections to this.

Everyone even felt that the Premium Three Filling Bun was more cost-effective than the Five Fillings Bun. Nine bucks cheaper and tastier, they were just crazy about the Premium Three Filling Bun.

Sell more, tastes great, loves to eat.

The taste of food doesn’t lie.

If it’s delicious, it’s delicious.

The customers of Huang Ji haven’t had buns and steamed buns for six whole days.

What does that mean? It means they’ve saved up six days’ worth of money just to come today and buy buns and steamed buns!

Normally, a 56 yuan Three Meat Bun might make the usual customers hesitate. After all, if Qin Shu made such snacks, a 56 yuan Three Meat Bun would seem obviously less cost-effective than the 18 yuan Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns.

The Three Meat Buns and Five Fillings Buns were fleeting; the Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns was the true love of the neighborhood.

But today was different.

Based on the standard of eating two Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns a day, without them for six days, the neighborhood’s snack budget today was a full 252 yuan.

Enough to buy 4.5 Premium Three Fillings Buns!

Isn’t it just Three Meat Buns? Eat! Let me find out what’s so special about it, how it’s premium.

With this mindset, almost every customer lining up to buy snacks had a Three Meat Bun in hand.

Then, with one bite, they decisively started lining up again.

Premium! This really is premium!

Sorry, Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns, even though you’re good and affordable and delicious, today, the budget goes to your colleague, the Premium Three Filling Bun.

It’s not that we’re fickle, it’s mainly because Qin Shu released a new item upon returning from leave, and we must show support, not let Qin Shu down.

"Are the Three Meat Buns ready yet? How long until the next batch is out? What’s the quantity? Report numbers, report numbers!"

Qu Jing parked the car at Liu Director’s urging and ran to the entrance of Huang Ji, witnessing this scene.

The familiar long line.

Some people even queued while eating.

The snacks being eaten were also familiar to her.

Three Meat Bun, Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns.

When Qin Huai was at Yunzhong Restaurant, she ate them every day, but rather than these two snacks, Qu Jing preferred Dried Tangerine Peel Tea and sticky rice cake.

Jujube and yam cake was not bad either.

Green Bean Cake was okay, but compared to Green Bean Cake, Qu Jing actually preferred green bean ice cake.

Looking at the familiar snacks, smelling the familiar aromas, Qu Jing looked up at the sign Liu Director pointed out for Huang Ji.

Huang Ji Restaurant.

The restaurant Qin Huai exchanged at in Gusu.

Qu Jing remembered that Qin Huai reminded her not to come on weekdays, not to make it public, and not to be seen by the colleagues from the hospital.

Now...

What should she do if a colleague brings her here?

Not only the familiar neurology department that Qin Huai knows, but also the cardiology department he’s familiar with, though not from the same hospital, the department configurations are similar.

Director Liu was still on the phone: "Hey, where are your people? Xiao Qu and I are both here. Still riding? What, that group from the cardiology department just got off the subway; what are they doing? Do you know how many people are in line for snacks at Huang Ji’s entrance right now?"

"We won’t wait for you; I’ll let Xiao Zhang and Xiao Lou go to the private room first, I’ll order the dishes, leave... Xiao Qu at the door waiting for you, she’s not familiar with ordering dishes, so hurry up! I’ve told you, use your leisure time to cycle and practice speeding up, everyone staying home and not moving is useless at a critical moment. Not as good as Xiao Qu, even though she’s allergic to UV rays, she still keeps up with me."
