The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 376 Heading to Suzhou
That night, Zheng Siyuan called Huang Shengli to tell him that Qin Huai wanted to go to Huangji to sell double crab buns for two days. Huang Shengli naturally welcomed this kind of thing, and patted his chest to say that his waist had recovered well, and as long as the work was not too high-intensity, he would definitely be able to work for another five years.

The last time Qin Huai came to Huang Ji, Huang Shengli's waist was still recovering and he was unable to use his full strength. This time when Qin Huai came, Huang Shengli must cook a few dishes for Qin Huai and let Qin Huai taste the real cooking skills of his master Huang.

When Zheng Da heard that Qin Huai had actually developed the double crab bun, he was so shocked that he ended his vacation on the spot, booked a return ticket, flew back overnight and took the high-speed train back to Suzhou.

"Siyuan, are you sure that what you made are double crab buns? And double crab buns without fresh crab roe?"

"That's impossible. That's unreasonable! Given the difficulty of making a double crab bun, not to mention the three of you, even if all 30 of you were combined, you wouldn't be able to make it. Your dad and I often fail when making double crab buns."

"I secretly practiced the Double Crab Bun in Sanya for a month, but my performance was still unstable, otherwise I would have flown back to teach Xiao Qin. You three just used the recipe to figure it out on your own, how could you figure it out so quickly? Are you really making Double Crab Buns?"

Zheng Da, who was so frightened by the news that he booked a plane ticket overnight, asked this question during the phone call.

Zheng Siyuan's voice was speechless: "So Dad, you stayed in Sanya for such a long time and didn't come back. You didn't go on vacation at all. You were afraid that my uncle would find out and tell me if I was practicing double crab buns in Gusu, so you ran to Sanya to practice double crab buns."

"No wonder mom sent me a WeChat message saying it was boring to vacation with you outside. It turns out you spend every day vacationing in the kitchen."

At this point, Zheng Da was not afraid that his secret efforts would be exposed. In fact, he didn't care about it at all.

"I just wanted to give you and Xiao Qin a surprise. Besides, Sanya is great, with fresh sea cucumbers near the sea. This is not important. The key point is that you really made it? Are you sure you made double crab buns, not single crab buns, crab roe buns, or sea cucumber buns?"

Zheng Siyuan finally realized that his father had gone crazy too.

Considering that many people have gone crazy recently, Zheng Siyuan took this matter well and said very calmly: "It should be. It was slightly modified according to the original recipe, but the taste is indeed not bad. It is the concept of double crab buns."

Zheng Da fell into silence.

"Dad, stop struggling and give up." Zheng Siyuan said, "It's impossible for you to accept Qin Huai as your apprentice. Qin Huai will most likely not take you as his master, and it seems that Qin Huai already has a master."

"Who?!"

"It's the one from Guangdong Province. I occasionally heard Qin Huai talking to her on video calls recently, and they both called each other "Master". Her cooking skills are indeed very good, and she is also a very nice person. She was willing to let Qin Huai pass on her secret method of thickening starch to Zang Liang. Just for this reason, you lose."

"You don't have any secrets."

Zheng Da: ...treason, treason!

Zheng Da hung up the phone angrily, then posted three emo messages on his Moments late at night.

Of course, Qin Huai would definitely not know about this little episode, and Zheng Siyuan would not have nothing better to do than tell Qin Huai that his father did not go to Sanya for vacation during this period. He was secretly working hard, but his efforts were in vain as he could not keep up with everyone else.

As Zheng Da's biological son, Zheng Siyuan still has to protect his father's face.

Qinhuai is busy preparing things before going to Gusu. This trip to Gusu Qinhuai is expected to last about 10 days.

In addition to making double crab buns to complete Wang Gensheng's side quest, Qin Huai also wanted to go to Gusu this time to get closer to Gong Liang. After all, Gong Liang rarely goes out in Gusu, and when he goes out, he basically goes to Fenyuan in Beiping to eat. If Qin Huai wants to improve his favorability, he has to go to Gusu.

Qin Huai had a lot of things to prepare for his 10-day visit.

First, you need to prepare Qin Luo’s recipe.

Qin Luo can't eat too well. This girl is the type who dares to start a dyeing room if she is given a little color. She is easy to get carried away. Using food to motivate her to study hard was quite effective before, but Qin Luo is very likely to slack off on the spot after having achieved certain results, and there are too many temptations in the Yunzhong Canteen now.

Su Gan's cooking skills are good, Gu Li's golden shredded steamed buns are also remarkable, and the other apprentices of Zhiweiju can make a variety of snacks. If Qin Luo is not restricted and allowed to eat freely, this girl will soon let herself go and her grades will hit a new low.

In addition to Qin Luo, Ouyang's food also needs to be solved.

In the production of double crab buns, Ouyang has devoted himself to it. When he couldn't find a clue at the beginning, Ouyang even skipped his normal three meals a day in order to taste the buns. His dedication is touching.

As Ouyang's good brother, Qin Huai would not throw his good brother aside as soon as the double crab buns were made, telling him to eat whatever he wanted and then go to Gusu on his own.

Ouyang himself is now in the rising stage of his career. His lemon tea shop business is booming. It is impossible for him to skip work for 10 days to accompany Qin Huai to Gusu just to have a good meal.

Therefore, in order to thank his good brother for his generous help in the food tasting, Qin Huai decided to make more raw dough for double crab buns, glutinous rice wine steamed buns and elm bark steamed buns for Ouyang during the preparation time in the past few days, so that his buddy can eat them sparingly and try to eat them until he comes back.

Of course, these are actually trivial matters. The big thing Qin Huai really has to deal with is how to trick Wang Gensheng to Gusu.

What Qin Huai said before was very simple. He just told Wang Gensheng that Master Qin needed him, but in practice he still needed to make up some reasons.

Qin Huai thought about it for a day and came up with a perfect reason.

He told Wang Gensheng that he had not settled his debt with Huang's.

In fact, it is indeed not clear. Qin Huai worked with Huang Ji for several months and made countless dim sum.

When Qin Huai went to the exchange program at the beginning, he was not given a salary, only a share of the snacks. After all, Qin Huai actually went there to learn at the beginning, but he just went there under the guise of an exchange.

At that time, no one expected Huang Ji to make money from Qinhuai, and no one expected that Huang Ji's business would become so prosperous. Because the business was so prosperous so suddenly, they could not reach an agreement on the division of dim sum at the beginning. Of course, both parties did not care much about this.

Qin Huai was not short of money, and Huang Ji was not a restaurant that would delay the payment of employees' wages. Not to mention that what Qin Huai had learned from Huang Ji during those few months could not be measured in money, and the young master's personal ability was very limited, which led to the fact that the accounts between Qin Huai and Huang Ji had never been completely settled.

Huang Anyao directly gave a sum of money far exceeding the share Qin Huai should get and transferred it to Qin Huai’s corporate account.

Qin Huai was stunned when he saw the sum of money. He even understood why Huang's, a high-end restaurant with not-too-bad business, had so many problems and even financial difficulties after the chef had health problems and the business declined.

All I can say is that the young master deserves credit for this.

The young boss must have been cheated a lot in these years. Qin Huai also told Wang Gensheng the truth directly, saying that he felt that this kind of profit sharing was not good. Huangji had helped him a lot, and he couldn't take so much money from Huangji for nothing. Public is public, private is private, and the amount of money should be how much money.

As for the specific amount, Yunzhong Canteen does not have a very professional accountant, so Master Qin can only seek help from Accountant Wang Gensheng, who has never made false or wrong accounts in 40 years and has a good reputation and is trustworthy.

In return, Master Qin will treat Accountant Wang to a good meal at Huang Ji.

Accountant Wang, who had been upright all his life, could not refuse when he heard what Qin Huai said. He immediately patted his chest and said that he would take care of the matter. Even though I, Uncle Wang, have retired for many years, I still have the basic skills of accounting.

Don't worry, I, your uncle Wang, will definitely go to Gusu! When the time comes, I will definitely help Master Xiao Qin to calculate the account clearly, and will not let Huangji pay a penny more. It is the amount that should be paid, and all the extra money will be returned.

Wang Gensheng was tricked by Qin Huai into going to Gusu, and he even brought three pairs of reading glasses, fearing that he would not be able to see clearly when the time came to settle the accounts.

In this way, Qin Huai prepared for three days in Yunzhong Canteen and also sold double crab buns at a special price for three days, allowing new and old customers of Yunzhong Canteen to experience the extraordinary treatment of eating double crab buns, and then cancelled the order.

When Xu Tuqiang and others saw the news released by Yunzhong Canteen that Master Qin had to go to Gusu for a 10-day exchange program for work, they felt no sadness, no sorrow, and not even surprise. Instead, they felt calm and as expected.

It is difficult for them to describe this feeling, maybe they are just used to it.

There is a kind of feeling that one cannot stay no matter what. The outside world is always very attractive. Whether it is Suzhou or Guangdong Province, Master Qin is destined not to stay in the Yunzhong Canteen for long.

It doesn’t matter. He will come back sooner or later anyway. Just wait. Neither Suzhou nor Guangdong Province can keep Master Qin. Yunzhong Canteen is his eternal home.

It's so funny. I don't believe in the 10-day communication. It's good enough if you can come back within 13 days.

Three days later, Qin Huai and his group of six were ready to board the plane to the Magic City.

As for why there were six people, it was because Shi Dadan volunteered to go. As a successful person with financial freedom, Shi Dadan was indeed a little too idle.

His business philosophy is simple: raise some seafood yourself, sell it, or go fishing, sell it, and the money will come.

Not afraid of commercial competition, natural disasters or man-made calamities, the only thing you need to consider is what to raise and whether to go fishing at sea.

Shi Dadan hadn't finished eating the double crab buns in Yunzhong Canteen when Qin Huai was about to go to Gusu. As the idlest person, he naturally had to follow Qin Huai to Gusu to continue eating.

He also wanted to go to Huang's for a meal. In Shi Dadan's words, he had never been back to Gusu since his reincarnation, but there were actually many people he knew in Gusu. Shi Dadan had seen Huang Shengli and Zheng Da in his first life, and he had even heard of Gong Liang and met him a few times.

After so many years, Shi Dadan missed Master Jing's cooking a little bit - in his first life, he often ate Master Jing's special meals with Xu Nuo.

Now that he has let it go and has a chance to revisit the old place, he will of course join in the fun. Qin Huai also thinks it's good that Shi Dadan is willing to go to Gusu, which means that the old grudges and demons are gone. If Shi Dadan succeeds in this life and remains in the world, the possibility of not failing again is higher, so this trip is a good thing for him.

So the original team of five people became a team of six people. Shi Dadan generously bought plane tickets and high-speed rail tickets for everyone, and he and Qin Huai took the tickets together.

Before the plane took off, Shi Dadan sighed, "I'm a little excited when I think about meeting Shengli and the others, and maybe even talking to them."

Qin Huai was a little curious: "Were you familiar with Master Huang and the others before?"

"No." Shi Dadan shook his head. "You should know from my memories that I was stupid in my first life. I often couldn't understand other people's implicit meanings and couldn't react, so I basically didn't communicate with others. I was more familiar with the people in the team."

"As for Wang Gensheng, I only know that Xu Nuo has a good relationship with him, but I have never met him. I may have run into him in the cafeteria, but I don't have any impression of him."

"Xu Nuo didn't tell me that he was a monster. Maybe he was afraid that I would find out about the bad things. After all, I wasn't very smart at that time."

"As for Huang Shengli and Zheng Da, I may not be very familiar with them, but from my perspective, they are already people I have had relatively more contact with."

"After Xu Nuo bought the recipe for the double crab buns, his parents strictly controlled his money. When the control was strict, he had to sneak through the window to get food from the state-owned restaurant. I was afraid that he would break his leg, so for a while I went to help get food. Because this matter had to be kept low-key, we had to contact him secretly. When Master Jing was not convenient to show up, it was usually Huang Shengli or Zheng Da who handed the lunch box to me. I think I am quite familiar with them."

Qin Huai understood and took over the friendship.

"You haven't seen Master Huang and Master Zheng for so many years. Can you recognize them when you see them for the first time?" Qin Huai asked.

"Of course, I searched for their photos online. I have to say, the changes are quite big. Huang Shengli was very introverted at that time. Like me, he didn't like to talk to people. I didn't expect that he would have so many apprentices."

"Zheng Da is completely opposite to Huang Shengli. He is very talkative. When we meet, he often can't help asking me about Xu Nuo's recent situation. At that time, there were rumors that Director Xu broke Xu Nuo's leg every now and then. Xu Nuo's leg was broken more than ten times a month. Zheng Da often asked me if Xu Nuo's leg was really broken and that was why he couldn't leave the house."

"I thought he would take in many apprentices, but I didn't expect that he didn't take in any apprentices. He even gave up being a chef and went into business."

It can be heard that Shi Dadan did inquire about the recent situation of Zheng Da and Huang Shengli.

When Qin Huai heard Shi Dadan say this, he felt like he was listening to someone talking about an acquaintance's embarrassing incident from many years ago. It was very fresh.

"Master Zheng said he has arranged a car to pick you up at the high-speed rail station. When you meet Master Zheng, don't let anything slip. Theoretically, you don't know him now." Qin Huai reminded.

"Of course, this is not my first life, I will definitely not make this kind of mistake." Shi Dadan nodded and took out a big bag of buns from the small bag he brought on the plane. They were the last batch of double crab buns made by Qin Huai yesterday.

The buns were kept in the plastic bag, their surface was covered with moisture and had become a little cold.

Shi Dadan started eating the buns happily.

"Would you like to have one? It's a bit cold now." Shi Dadan invited Qin Huai.

“No, no.” Qin Huai waved his hands repeatedly, “You really like eating buns.”

"I like all staple foods." Shi Dadan said vaguely, "I also like everything you cook, Xiao Qin. They are delicious."
