Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 734 - 370: Good Brothers

On the second day in the morning, Zheng Siyuan, Zang Liang, and Tan Wei’an all requested leave for the entire morning. The reason for their leave was to go to the amusement park to eat the Mianmian ice they missed yesterday.

Qin Huai’s response to this was: ?

Is it really that delicious? When he ate it yesterday, he couldn’t taste any difference. He thought it was just normal Mianmian ice and quite expensive.

No wonder that store dares to sell it at such a price in the amusement park; there must be something unique about it.

Even though Yunzhong Restaurant lost two pastry chefs and the main people responsible for staff meals in the morning, diners still flocked in, queuing frantically. The runners queued all the way from the restaurant’s entrance to the street corner, and even the office workers in nearby office buildings took a two-hour leave just to queue while writing reports on their phones.

Their desire to taste Master Qin’s new offerings was evident.

Master Qin did not disappoint everyone’s expectations, firing on all cylinders the whole morning; there were crab roe pork buns to their heart’s content. From stir-frying the filling, kneading the dough, wrapping the buns, to steaming, all were fully managed by Master Qin, ensuring that every fold on the bun was pinched by Master Qin’s own hands.

Qin Huai’s speed in making snacks is visible to everyone, this expertise was honed from his early days at the Breakfast Shop, focusing on racing against time, providing large quantities that satisfy, swiftly when possible.

The supply was maximized, by Master Qin, along with crab roe pork buns, still practicing pricing, almost driving the new and old diners into madness.

People even sold the idea that if you don’t buy now, then you’d be too late, inducing a panic buying sensation.

Even Huang Xi, who originally thought they were just buns and no need to limit them, had to hastily implement a purchase restriction, specifying that everyone can only buy five buns at a time.

Even for runners doing the purchasing, only five buns per time. As for whether some scalpers buy queue spots to resell buns...

Huang Xi could only say that the grandpas and grandmas of Yunzhong Restaurant are not pushovers. If it’s just taking queue orders, they can turn a blind eye. But if scalpers really appear reselling buns, grandpas and grandmas will strike hard, enforcing justice.

Come on, we don’t have enough ourselves, and you still want to buy and resell, what are you thinking?

When Zang Liang, Tan Wei’an, and Zheng Siyuan came back from the amusement park at noon, this was the scene they witnessed.

Even though they saw it once yesterday, Zang Liang was still stunned.

"Is it always like this when Qin Huai releases new products?" Zang Liang was so shocked that his jaw was almost dislocated.

"You’ll get used to it." Tan Wei’an had an expression as if saying, "Bro, you haven’t seen much of the world," "You might have heard about Huang Ji’s business last year, right? After Master Huang’s back injury relapsed, business wasn’t great. But after Qin Huai went there, guess what, it instantly revived, especially since Huang Ji was mentioned in ’Taste’, almost becoming an internet-famous store."

"At that time, the first thing people thought about when talking about snacks was Huang Ji. Those who didn’t know better would think it was a pastry hotel, and our Zhiweiguan was selling stir-fried dishes."

Zang Liang withdrew his nearly dislocated jaw, beginning to count the number of guests lining up at the entrance, and he seemed eager to estimate Yunzhong Restaurant’s current traffic.

"I know that after New Year, Huang Ji’s business was very good, and my master and I went to Huang Ji and queued to eat guo’er." Zang Liang said while counting, "At that time, we shared a table and even sat with Master Liu from your Zhiwei Restaurant; he went there sneakily too."

Tan Wei’an: ?

"Even Master Liu went secretly?! Last time I asked him, he said he didn’t come. I just knew, I seemed to have seen him!"

"But... Huang Ji is Huang Ji, Yunzhong Restaurant is Yunzhong Restaurant." Zang Liang exclaimed in shock, "In Huang Ji, everyone knows what level Qin Huai is at; he’s the Qin Master who was featured on ’Taste’, he’s undeniably the Master Chef, Huang Ji originally is a high-end restaurant, whether it’s the dish price, decoration or taste, diners before stepping in were already..."

"Zheng Siyuan, when in Huang Ji and when in his own dessert shop, was different too!"

"When he’s at his own dessert shop, isn’t he just Master Little Zheng selling snacks at the entrance of a residential area?"

Feeling emo after eating two bowls of Mianmian ice and not gaining any insight, Zheng Siyuan shot a cold glance at Zang Liang, scaring him to shrink his neck. For some reason, he always felt he saw murderous intent in Zheng Siyuan’s gaze.

"That’s not the same." Zheng Siyuan said.

"Even though people around here don’t necessarily know how incredible Qin Huai’s skills are, having a snack master with such high craftsmanship willing to stay in a community restaurant, selling these seemingly expensive, but actually affordable snacks, is quite a surprising thing."

"But they have taste and also a love for snacks."

"Guests’ love and support are priceless."

Zheng Siyuan glanced at Zang Liang, "The sense of accomplishment gained from these guests surpasses that gained in high-end hotels. If you don’t believe it, you can open a small stir-fry shop at the entrance of your residential area."

Zang Liang blurted out, "That won’t do, Qin Huai makes snacks with large quantities satisfying hunger, sells them cheaper and can still earn a lot. What I make are Huaiyang cuisine, if selling cheaply, how can I earn? I still hope to get rich through my craft, and open a high-end hotel myself."

Tan Wei’an: ?

Bro, you still have such ambition?

"But were Qin Huai’s buns yesterday that good?" Zang Liang smacked his lips, trying to recall the taste of yesterday’s buns, "After getting off the roller coaster yesterday, I don’t quite remember what happened, I remember I might have eaten that bun and vomited not long after?"
