The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 321 Someone Else Is Making Buns
"Have you ever eaten any delicious crab roe snacks?" Qin Huai asked directly.

Qin Huai knew Wang Gensheng's character very well. The most important characteristic of the upright uncle Wang was that he would speak his mind and answer any questions. As long as he felt that he could say it and had a clear conscience, he would definitely say it. If he couldn't say it, he would not make up excuses and would just say that he couldn't say it.

Uncle Wang is so honest.

To follow Uncle Wang's words, there is no need for routine or preparation, just get straight to the point.

As Qin Huai expected, Uncle Wang began to think seriously. About two or three minutes later, when Qin Luo finished the bowl of crab roe noodles in his hand and mixed another bowl for himself, Uncle Wang slowly spoke.

"It should be the double crab buns I ate when I was young." Uncle Wang's eyes were full of nostalgia, "My friend invited me to eat it. I only ate it once. I really miss it."

Qin Huai was a little surprised. The friend that Uncle Wang was talking about must be Xu Nuo. If Uncle Wang had a second friend who could afford to treat him to a double crab bun, then the friends that Accountant Wang made when he was young must have been too wealthy.

However, Qin Huai didn't expect that Uncle Wang had only eaten the double crab bun once.

After reading Uncle Wang's task description, Qin Huai thought that Uncle Wang had never eaten the double crab buns, so he wanted to sit in Huang Ji to eat it once to make up for his regret. Or he had eaten the double crab buns many times, but now he couldn't eat them anymore, so he wanted to recreate the taste of the past.

I didn't expect he had only eaten it once.

It seems that the double crab buns must be delicious, which is why Uncle Wang has been thinking about it for so many years.

"What does it taste like? I've been studying the recipe you gave me recently. To be honest, it's hard to tell from the recipe alone. Do you still remember what the double crab bun tasted like? Can you tell me in detail? Was it made with fresh crab roe or crab roe sauce? What month did you eat it?"

"January." Uncle Wang said with certainty, "My birthday is in early January, and I eat the double crab buns on my birthday."

That's the crab sauce version.

"As for the specific taste..." Uncle Wang pondered again. It was not without reason that he often suspected that he had Alzheimer's disease. Uncle Wang was old now and his memory was not as good as before. Although he liked to recall the past, he always talked about the same few things over and over again.

If a new listener wants to hear something new, Uncle Wang will tell the other person that he can't remember it for the time being.

"It's a bit like this." Uncle Wang tried to describe it in detail with his unclear memory and the crab roe noodles at that time, "It's just... the crab roe taste is very strong, but a little light."

"It's very fragrant. When you take a bite, you can see the oily filling, the kind of oil that looks like yellow crab oil, but it doesn't taste greasy at all."

“It has a mellow taste, just like eating salted egg yolk in lava, but it’s much tastier than salted egg yolk.”

Uncle Wang's adjective is quite vivid. Qin Huai roughly understood that it should be the double crab buns made with crab roe sauce that is not thickened with too many spices and is re-fried to release oil like today when making the filling.

That's not right. Zheng Siyuan didn't know the recipe for making double crab buns with fresh crab roe, but the recipe for crab roe sauce must be correct. Unless Zheng Da learned it wrong, or secretly changed the recipe himself, but with Huang Shengli's testimony, Zheng Da couldn't have hidden it from Huang Shengli even if he changed the recipe.

Zheng Siyuan's crab roe sauce recipe is to add a lot of spices to make the taste very strong and complex. Uncle Wang's review is that the crab roe taste is very strong, but at the same time a little light, which means that the taste is not strong and the ingredients are not complicated.

The two people's statements are contradictory.

Qin Huai looked at Wang Gensheng seriously for several times. He believed that Uncle Wang would not lie unless he remembered it wrongly, but Wang Gensheng's memory was not so bad.

But there was no need for Zheng Siyuan to lie to him.

Zheng Da had no reason to lie to Zheng Siyuan.

Qin Huai had the answer in his heart.

What Zheng Siyuan said was true, and what Wang Gensheng said was also true, but the double crab buns that Wang Gensheng ate that year were not made by Master Jing. They were made by someone else.

If this is the case, the idea of ​​making the double crab bun cannot follow Zheng Siyuan's idea. It must follow Wang Gensheng's idea. He is the publisher of the side quest and the taster of the double crab bun, and his needs must be met.

Qin Huai didn't expect that improving Wang Gensheng's favorability would bring him an unexpected surprise. If it weren't for today's conversation, he would have to take so many detours.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Wang." Qin Huai said with a smile, his voice full of gratitude, and this gratitude was not fake, "Are you free this afternoon?"

“Ah?” Wang Gensheng, who had already stuffed a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, was stunned for a moment. Then he reacted, licked the crab roe at the corner of his mouth, and swallowed the noodles. “Yes, yes, yes, I’m free anytime.”

"I am retired now, Uncle Wang. I have all the time!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Wang, to come over every afternoon to try the crab roe sauce. I plan to make the crab roe sauce first, and then make the double crab buns when the crab roe sauce is right."

"Do you like today's crab roe noodles? If so, I'll make you another serving of crab roe noodles every day after you try the crab roe sauce, so you don't have to come all the way here just to taste the sauce."

Wang Gensheng, who had been honest and upright all his life, could not bear such temptation. He smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth almost split to the back of his ears and said, "How can I be so embarrassed? How did you say that? I am now eating and taking things at the same time."

"It should."

Wang Gensheng just wanted to slurp another mouthful of noodles. This feeling was so happy that he wanted another bowl of crab roe noodles.

"Then I won't be polite." Wang Gensheng said cheerfully and continued to eat noodles happily.

Qin Huai also quietly left Wang Gensheng, glanced at Luo Jun and Chen Huihong who were eating noodles and whispering in private, then walked to Zheng Siyuan and told him about his discovery.

Of course, I can’t say it directly, I have to make up a new reason.

Qin Huai is the best at making up excuses. Since the game system was activated, Qin Huai has become best at speaking freely.

"How about the crab roe noodles today?" Qin Huai asked.

Zheng Siyuan's bowl of noodles was almost empty. He said calmly, "It's pretty good."

"But I prefer chicken noodle soup."

"Make it tomorrow morning. Have you noticed that with current raw materials and technology, crab roe sauce can be made almost indistinguishable from fresh crab roe. There is no need to add too many seasonings, and the flavor of the crab roe can be preserved for a long time. As long as the raw materials are good enough and the cost is high enough," Qin Huai began to hint.

Zheng Siyuan really followed Qin Huai's hint and continued, "That's right, so I just kept thinking about why the double crab buns I made this afternoon were not successful. Was it because I was too fond of heavy ingredients and lost the proper seasoning of the dim sum fillings?"

"I thought so too." Qin Huai had an expression that said, "I know you understand me, brother." "The crab roe sauce version of the double crab bun is a derivative of the normal double crab bun. It is a production method that has to be adopted because crab roe cannot be obtained for a long time."

"We didn't have the conditions back then, but we do now. I'm wondering if the crab roe sauce version of the double crab buns can use less ingredients and adopt the original production ideas, reducing the use of seasonings and auxiliary ingredients as much as possible. The simpler the better, and the more the original flavor is highlighted, the better."

Zheng Siyuan was shocked.

Even though he had already seriously violated the decision of his ancestors, he had not expected to violate it to this extent.

Zheng Siyuan was silent for more than thirty seconds before he asked uncertainly, "Is it okay?"

"Just give it a try. Anyway, there is so much crab roe sauce, it would be a waste not to try it. Didn't you say before that this crab roe sauce is large in quantity and can fill you up? It costs a lot, but it's okay. At worst, we can just add another noodle dish, crab roe noodles, to Yunzhong Canteen in the evening."

"If we sell it for 168 or 188 per copy, we can make back our investment."

Zheng Siyuan: …

"Okay." Zheng Siyuan nodded, let's try it tomorrow. On the other side, Chen Huihong and Luo Jun's conversation also came to an end.

The two people didn't actually talk about anything. They just observed Wang Gensheng and analyzed his current condition.

Luo Jun seldom goes out on weekdays and has basically never seen Wang Gensheng. Now that he meets him, of course he has to take a few more glances at him.

"By the way, Luo Jun, why did you suddenly go out to eat crab roe noodles today? I thought you would ask Xiao Zhang to pack it up and take it back home." Chen Huihong sighed, "Is it because the weather has been good recently and you want to go out and bask in the sun? You are not the kind of person who likes to bask in the sun."

Luo Jun calmly swallowed the last mouthful of crab roe noodles without saying anything. He took out his phone and took a photo of the empty bowl. The empty bowl with no noodles left but only some crab roe sauce was the highest affirmation of the taste of the crab roe noodles.

Luo Jun posted the photo in the group of loving families, with a sentence:
It tastes good, but some things are better eaten freshly made.

Luo Jun put down his phone and showed an expression that said you are not qualified to fight me: "So what if you are good at speaking? You can only look at pictures in the group."

Chen Huihong: …

It can be seen that Chen Gong caused great harm to Luo Jun last time, and made Luo Jun so angry that he went out to eat in person just to take a photo and send it to the group to make him angry.

After sending the photo, Luo Jun stood up and shouted to the outside: "Xiao Zhang, pack another portion of crab roe noodles and go home."

"Okay, Mr. Luo." Zhang Shumei, who had been sitting at the kitchen door on standby, hurried to the window to pack up, holding a cup of Coconut No. 1 from Xiaoou Hand-Pulled Lemon Tea Shop in her hand.

Luo Jun left in a graceful manner.

Chen Huihong looked at Luo Jun's departing back and sighed, "Why do I feel like he will go out to eat every day just to take pictures?"

"Jingjing had thought of so many ways to get Luo Jun out of the house, but none of them worked. Now all she had to do was to make him angry."

Chen Huihui had also finished her bowl of noodles. She looked up and asked Chen Huihong in confusion, "Mom, why are you angry with Grandpa Luo? Why are you angry with Grandpa Luo?"

"This is not important. It's mainly for the health of your Grandpa Luo." Chen Huihong smiled and fooled her daughter, "Huihui, are you full? Do you want another bowl?"

"I'm full!" Chen Huihui licked her lips. "Mom, should we pack some for uncle? Aren't we going to play at uncle's house tonight?"

Chen Huihong thought about it for a while, and finally decided to reluctantly pack up her share of midnight snack and bring it to her brother, and then she also went to pack up.

People with normal appetites had basically finished eating by this time, leaving only Ouyang and Qin Luo still eating voraciously.

Seeing that the two were eating crab roe noodles as if they were seeking revenge, Qin Huai couldn't help but remind them: "You can eat crab roe noodles every day in the future. Don't eat too much at once and get hurt."

Qin Luo heard that crab roe noodles were available every day, but he was even more sad because the fact that he had hidden his cell phone was exposed by today's crab roe noodles, so he decided to eat one more bowl.

Ouyang was overjoyed when he heard that crab roe noodles were available every day, and decided to eat an extra bowl to celebrate.

Qin Huai: ...You two, Taotie and Dang Kang, must have been reincarnated, you can eat so much.

Of course, Qin Luo didn't manage to finish 8 bowls in the end. When she finished the 5th bowl, Zhao Rong stopped her from eating. The main reason was that Qin Luo had a history of vomiting after eating too much. Although the last time she vomited was when she was in elementary school, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't be too sad about having her phone confiscated and vomit again beyond her physical limit.

In the end, Qin Luo and Ouyang ate 5 bowls each, and the game ended in a 1:1 tie.

After having a full meal, Ouyang was not in a hurry to go back to the store to make fruit tea to make money. Recently, Ouyang's lemon tea shop was making too much money, and the boss started to act like a big shot and stopped selling fruit tea after dinner - he was going to the gym to lose weight.

"Ouyang, I want to discuss something with you." Qin Huai walked to Ouyang.

Ouyang said straightforwardly: "You want fruit tea, right? What flavor? I'll make you a 2L super-large bottle!"

"I don't drink it now. It's like this. In the future, Yunzhong Canteen may sell crab roe noodles in the morning and evening."

Ouyang was delighted again: "I can eat it in the morning too!"

Look, this is how arrogant one becomes after making money. He doesn’t even ask the price and just wants to eat it.

Ouyang is also living a wealthy life that truly belongs to the second generation of rich people.

"Do you think crab roe noodles are too monotonous to eat alone? You'll get sick of it if you eat too much?"

"Yes, I had this feeling when I ate the fourth bowl. I could have eaten another bowl, but I was a little sick of it, so I stopped after 4 bowls." Ouyang nodded frantically in agreement.

Qin Huai: ...Not a buddy, you...forget it.

Qin Huai continued: "Do you think it should be paired with something to drink?"

Ouyang agreed: "It's time to drink something to relieve the greasiness."

"I think the lemon tea and fruit tea in your store are very good." Qin Huai smiled slightly, "Opening at 8 o'clock in the morning is too late. I am used to eating before 8 o'clock. You can open earlier at 7 o'clock or 7:30."

Ouyang: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Ouyang shed tears in his heart because he didn't want to get up early for work, but he didn't dare to show it because he also wanted to eat crab roe noodles in the morning.

The crab roe noodles are so delicious. The noodles are chewy and the crab roe is salty and fresh. When you wrap the noodles with the sauce and put them in your mouth, you can taste the fresh aroma of the crab roe and then chew them lightly.

Slip.

How can there be such delicious noodles in this world? Crab roe noodles is really a great invention!
Ouyang wanted to eat another bowl, and suddenly he didn't feel sick of it anymore.

In order to have crab roe noodles in the morning, and to eat more without getting tired of it, Ouyang nodded reluctantly:

"Okay, isn't it opening at 7 o'clock? Open!"

"But brother, can I make you a cup every morning, and then come over to eat crab roe noodles before officially opening?"

"Of course, Zheng Siyuan and I are counting on you to help us taste test the food."

"Eat more, you're welcome."

There is plenty of crab roe and noodles.

Qin Huai said that once they really started making crab roe sauce, the kind that was processed twice, he and Zheng Siyuan would just make it for a few hours every day, and the quantity would be large enough to turn Yunzhong Canteen into a crab roe noodle specialty store.

Uninformed passers-by would think that this restaurant specializes in crab dishes. The smell of crab roe is so strong that it can drift from the store to across the street.

Don't ask, the question is the self-cultivation of the pastry chef who serves large amounts of food.
