Chapter 65: Chapter 58 Qu Jing

After hanging up the phone, Qin Huai told Zheng Da and Zheng Siyuan about his earlier speculation, and both of them found it reasonable. Zheng Da looked like he just had an epiphany, almost wanting to smack himself.

Oh dear, why didn’t I think of such a brilliant idea?

Zheng Da tearfully looked at the honey jar on the cooking table. If the biggest problem with the locust flower buns really was the honey, and he was the one who discovered and solved it, wouldn’t he be able to take on this apprentice?

What to do now? It’s really awkward now.

Not only did he fail to impress his prospective apprentice, but he was shown up by the prospective apprentice.

So annoying, he wants to take Qin Huai as an apprentice even more now.

It’s driving him crazy because it’s even harder to take Qin Huai as an apprentice now.

Zheng Da was feeling a mix of emotions, while Zheng Siyuan’s thoughts were much simpler.

"If the problem is with the honey, then it’s much easier to handle." Zheng Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Once we get the right honey, the problem can be resolved."

Then he can return to Gusu to continue making snacks.

Although Yunzhong Restaurant is also nice, with interesting regulars, and the old folks even give him fruits, milk tea, and snacks. The kitchen is large and tidy, and Qin Huai is a high-quality friend with great culinary skills, a stable personality, and an interesting talk. But Zheng Siyuan still prefers the pastry shop in Gusu.

In the half-month of not being open, many regulars have messaged him asking if he’s closing down.

Compared to the current busy life of making wontons in the morning, snacks in the forenoon, and practicing buns in the afternoon, Zheng Siyuan still prefers the leisurely days of making snacks in the morning and selling them in the afternoon.

.

As expected, Grandma Ding gave Qin Huai a reply at night.

Pure natural locust flower honey, available!

But it needs to be specially mailed, so it won’t arrive by tomorrow, but it should arrive the day after tomorrow afternoon. Grandma Ding promised she would go to the main post office early in the morning and bring the locust flower honey to Qin Huai as soon as she gets it.

Qin Huai felt it would be too troublesome and told Grandma Ding she didn’t need to make a special trip; he could wait for the delivery at Yunzhong Restaurant.

Grandma Ding firmly insisted it was necessary, and she had to take it in person, otherwise it wouldn’t do justice to the big bag of warm fermented rice with steamed buns.

Such overwhelming kindness.

Qin Huai had to agree, as he had things to do the morning after tomorrow.

The morning after tomorrow was the day to visit Luo Jun’s house.

Very crucial.

This meant Qin Huai was finally going to have a face-to-face encounter with the task subject of his side quest.

Qin Huai had prepared a lot for this encounter.

Five Flower Tea, Seven Spice Dampness Removing Tea, three flavors of Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, Monk Fruit Tea, Liver-Clearing and Eye-Brightening Tea...

This was the list of cold teas that Qin Huai personally made on the second day.

Lately, the cold teas at Yunzhong Restaurant, except for the Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, were mostly brewed by Qin Luo and Zhao Rong. Qin Huai rarely brewed cold tea at home before. Afraid of messing up and making unauthentic cold tea, he specially practiced a day ahead, doubling the sales of hand-brewed lemon tea at the restaurant.

Zheng Siyuan, who had never drunk cold tea before, turned green after a sip of Seven Spice Dampness Removing Tea.

Zheng Da escaped unscathed because he went on strike.

Zheng Da’s reason for striking was simple, he went home the night before and thought hard about whether the honey could be the key to the locust flower buns’ failure, and the more he thought about it, the more he was convinced it was the honey, driving him into an emo state.

And since the pure natural locust flower honey wasn’t going to arrive soon, and Zheng Da wasn’t very passionate about making snacks either, he simply went on strike for a day, taking it easy.

The reason he used was that there were matters to handle at the factory.

"Siyuan, could you help me make some easily digestible snacks suitable for elderly people? I want to bring them along when I visit them tomorrow morning." To give Luo Jun a perfect first impression, Qin Huai even started seeking help.

Zheng Siyuan said no problem.

His pastry shop is right at the entrance of the neighborhood, and most of his customers are elderly and children, making these kinds of snacks is his forte.

Since Qin Huai made a special request, Zheng Siyuan planned to add more designs to the snacks to make them look more pleasing.

Over the past half month, Zheng Siyuan came to understand that Qin Huai indeed learned from the streets, without a mentor, learning a lot and from a variety of sources, basically learning whatever was shown on TV, whatever Qin Luo wanted to eat.

Southern School, Northern Style, Su Style, Beijing School, Yunnan style, Guangxi... none of these exist for Qin Huai, if his snacks belong to any style, it would definitely be the Luo Style.

All based on Qin Luo’s preferences.

We’ve gone bankrupt feeding the child.

Meanwhile, Zheng Siyuan also noticed that Qin Huai never designed his snacks.

Generally, design is an essential part of snacks.

While it might not affect the taste, it can make the snack look better and can be sold at a higher price, rightfully so.

But Zheng Siyuan soon realized that Qin Huai really didn’t need to design his snacks.

Because his diners were really quite wealthy.

The old folks never asked the price of new items, they just opened their phones and scanned the code. The pricing of snacks at Yunzhong Restaurant is also very erratic, the Five Fillings Bun is somewhat cheap, the Three Meat Buns are exorbitantly expensive, but everyone seems to accept it.

At Yunzhong Restaurant, even if it’s the Seven Spice Dampness Removing Tea, if Qin Huai made it by hand, the diners could grit their teeth and drink it down.

Zheng Siyuan looked at the diners in the hall, gritting their teeth and courageously drinking the cold tea, then looked at Qin Luo at the counter, almost sparking lemon with fire, and really didn’t understand this world.

Indeed, the outside world is too complex, he’d rather go back home and open his own pastry shop.
