Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 916 - 451: Warming Boss Ling All Day Long_3

He remembered that Qin Huai originally came to the conference with people from Zhiwei Restaurant, but he himself is a chef at Huang Ji. The young master of Huang Ji couldn't attend due to intestinal inflammation, so he was temporarily sent as a replacement.

Ling Guangzhao didn't originally pay much attention to Qin Huai.

There were too many great chefs at this conference, and Qin Huai was just a small fry. Even though he had appeared on "Taste", which chef here hasn't? Many have appeared on "Taste" multiple times, and quite a few have been on its cover.

Tong Dayan alone has appeared two or three times.

Qin Huai's advantage is his youth, and being skilled in pastry, where talented individuals are relatively rare.

However, for Ling Guangzhao now, Qin Huai's biggest advantage is his sharp eye for talent, immediately seeing the golden sincere soul beneath his wealthy exterior. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Ling Guangzhao walked over to Qin Huai and began watching him knead dough.

Ling Guangzhao actually didn't quite understand; he didn't even understand cooking, let alone kneading dough. But he felt Qin Huai's movements were very smooth, very beautiful, and had a masterful aura.

At noon, when Tong Dayan mentioned Qin Huai wanted to ask him to try some snacks in the afternoon, Ling Guangzhao didn't think much of it, just nodded in agreement, feeling it was merely a matter of tasting a few bites.

Now Ling Guangzhao felt he must truly savor them.

If Qin Huai's skills were decent, even if he only appeared on "Taste" once, had no ranking in "Chef Record", seemed to not be able to market himself, and even though Babaozhai removed pastry items years ago, Ling Guangzhao was willing to offer a tempting proposal, offering a high salary to poach him from Huang Ji to become the master pastry chef at Babaozhai.

Not for anything else, just for that remark about Boss Lin being really nice.

Really nice!

What a perceptive future employee!

Ling Guangzhao was now filled with admiration as he looked at Qin Huai.

Tong Dayan: …These two crazy ones have come together, although Qin Huai's condition seems more severe, somehow now it feels like Ling Guangzhao is even crazier.

Has Ling Guangzhao gone mad trying to poach people?

Ling Guangzhao was already calculating how much to pay Qin Huai monthly, and the sharing from snacks.

"Master Qin, at noon Master Tong said you wanted me to try some snacks, I was wondering what you plan to make…"

"Five Fillings Bun, apple dough ball, Four Happiness Flower Rolls, and rice cake." Qin Huai replied smoothly, "Boss Ling, you're the owner of Babaozhai. You've managed Babaozhai so successfully these past few years, surely you have unique insights from a boss's perspective."

"Normally, I gather feedback from ordinary diners and fellow chefs, but now I finally have the chance to hear comments from someone like you, with professional management insights."

"I also brewed some dried tangerine peel tea, it should be cooled by now. Would you like some?"

Ling Guangzhao felt he didn't even need to drink it. Just listening to Qin Huai speak made him feel refreshed, heartwarming, sweet.

"Master Qin, if you brewed it, of course I must taste it!"

The apprentices at Babaozhai were very observant; without Qin Huai needing to lift a finger, they automatically brought Ling Guangzhao a bowl of dried tangerine peel tea that had cooled enough to drink.

Ling Guangzhao looked at the dried tangerine peel tea in front of him: …?

Is this… dried tangerine peel tea?!

Isn't this dried tangerine peel, white fungus, and lotus seed soup? Or does Gusu refer to Silver Ear Lotus Seed Soup differently than we do in Beiping, calling the soup 'tea'?

Ling Guangzhao didn't understand, but he gave Qin Huai face, lifted the bowl and took a big spoonful into his mouth.

Hmm, it's fairly standard.

Ling Guangzhao smacked his lips, feeling the flavor wasn't particularly astounding, but inexplicably feeling warmer inside.

Not only his heart felt warm, his body also felt warm.

Hmm, the basic salary he envisioned earlier seems a bit low, should give Master Qin a 10% increase.

See, so versatile, a pastry master who can also cook dried tangerine peel, white fungus, and lotus seed soup!
