Ouyang didn’t come empty-handed to pick up at the airport.
He brought the culprit of his recent weight gain—Mango No. 1.
Qin Huai sat in the passenger seat, sipping milk tea while browsing the chat in the family group during his flight, exclaiming:
"Your drink mix skills have really improved. Mango No. 1 tastes much better than when I first had it."
"Of course." Ouyang proudly lifted his head, pretending his soon-to-be-visible double chin didn’t exist, "Hundreds of cups a day, especially when you weren’t around these past few days. Not bragging, but those delivery orders are through the roof. Many people can’t eat the snacks you make, so they come to our hand-made lemon tea shop for fruit tea."
He had to emphasize once again that "睹物思人" wasn’t used in this context!
"By the way, Qin Huai, why did you decide to start selling green bean cake tomorrow?" Ouyang asked curiously, "I remember you said before that peeling green beans was quite troublesome, and the market green bean powder quality is inconsistent compared to traditional methods, so you rarely made green bean cake."
"You occasionally make green bean ice cake when it’s hot; haven’t seen you make them since autumn. At Huang Ji, you only made green bean cake once." Ouyang asked curiously.
"Actually, it’s not because peeling is troublesome." Qin Huai calmly drank fruit tea, "Mainly because I don’t like eating green bean cake, so I’m lazy to make it."
"You can buy peeled green beans in the market."
"Every time Luoluo peeled them because green bean cake is too cheap, and Luoluo loves to eat it."
"If she were to eat freely from morning to night, it wouldn’t cost much. That girl loves expensive snacks but doesn’t mind cheap ones. Eats expensive when there’s money, eats cheap when there isn’t."
If she were given unlimited green bean cake access, she wouldn’t have the motivation to study during summer and winter vacations to pay off the debt, just eating green bean cake every day would suffice."
"Mom and I thought we shouldn’t pamper her like that, so we came up with this way. She can eat green bean cake by peeling the beans herself. Luoluo can’t do much else, but she’s professional at peeling beans, meticulous and fast, and later got used to it."
Ouyang gasped in surprise as the only child, silently lighting a candle for Qin Luo, feeling somewhat relieved his parents didn’t pass by Qiu County during their travels to adopt Qin Huai, making Qin Huai his brother.
Qin Huai is terrifyingly capable!
If he had the mind like Qin Luo, he’d be played around by Qin Huai.
No, but if a little work could get some snacks...
Damn it, why didn’t his parents pass by Qiu County during their travels to adopt Qin Huai, making Qin Huai his brother!
After Qin Huai finished the milk tea completely and ate the fruit pieces, Ouyang cautiously started asking: "So... Qin... Qin Huai, can I ask why you decided to sell green bean cake every day now?"
"Was it because Luoluo did well on her last exam?"
Qin Huai detected the caution in Ouyang’s voice, not understanding why his buddy suddenly became so wary, but it wasn’t important as he often couldn’t follow Ouyang’s thought process.
"Oh right, the results from the last exam should be out now too; my parents haven’t told me yet, I’ll ask tomorrow."
Ouyang: Luoluo, Brother Yang apologizes to you!
"As for why I decided to make green bean cake, maybe because during this visit to City A, I realized green bean cake is actually quite delicious," Qin Huai said.
"I think if everyone can buy a tasty and affordable green bean cake at Yunzhong Restaurant, they’ll probably be quite happy."
With a smooth road all evening, Qin Huai went home, washed up, and slept, getting ready for work the next day.
Of course, as the snack master.
Master Qin’s days of getting up at 4 AM to make breakfast are long gone. Yunzhong Restaurant’s breakfast is now handled by a real breakfast master, Chen An, and the business naturally returned to the usual community restaurant breakfast service.
The elderly who’ve developed a habit of morning runs still come rain or shine at 6 AM to have a regular breakfast in the restaurant. The working folks don’t mind passing by Yunzhong Restaurant for a couple of buns if it’s really on their way.
What if one day Master Qin feels good and decides to surprise everyone by waking up early?
Opportunities are for the prepared, many diners believe if they frequent enough, they’ll eventually get a surprise drop.
Actually, no surprise drop; green bean cake dropped instead.
Cheng Gong, as President Han’s versatile assistant, excels in efficiency and work quality. Qin Huai even felt he became more capable after waking with all his memories; previously Cheng Gong was only human, having worked for over three decades.
Now with all his past lives remembered, where all he did was work, he’s the ultimate worker, outshining all job seekers.
The quality peeled green beans arrived at Yunzhong Restaurant by 6 AM, with stable supply and reasonable prices. Huang Xi was amazed, asking Qin Huai who he connected with to get such a high-quality supplier.
Qin Huai’s first move entering the restaurant was to make green bean cake.
First steaming the beans, then brewing dried tangerine peel tea, starting to knead dough while having workers prepare ingredients, time tightly controlled to make the maximum amount of snacks in the shortest period.
