Chapter 193 Changes in the Community Where the Community Canteen is Located
After a simple comparison, Chen Zhou had obtained the prototype of the tomato soup dumpling.

Its most distinctive feature is its rich tomato flavor, which comes from the blended tomato juice.

Paired with a mixed minced meat base of beef and pork, it not only ensures sufficient broth but also significantly enhances the flavor.

However, that concludes today's experiment.

The main reason is that the people involved in the tasting tried several kinds of buns one by one.

I can't eat anymore.

Chen Zhou distributed the remaining experimental products among the people, while the tomato and egg soup dumplings were all reserved for Chen Taotao.

The little girl picked up the takeout box carefully, as if afraid that her soup dumplings would break.

They didn't even bother to say goodbye to the adults.

Seeing this, Lao Meng couldn't help but joke, "It's okay if it's torn, just have your dad bandage it up again."

Chen Taotao thought it made a lot of sense. Her father was very capable.

It elicited a loud "Aww" from the people.

He then smiled and shook the takeout box. The soup dumplings inside trembled slightly.

Fortunately, it didn't actually break.

She discovered something fun and wandered around on her way home.

the next day,
Chen Zhou officially launched the adjusted tomato soup dumplings at the store's new product tasting event.

Free event, limited quantity available.

This naturally attracted many customers.

Meanwhile, at the south gate of the residential area not far away, Gao Tianyuan, the property "manager," was taking his breakfast from security guard Xiao Liu.

Before coming to the community this morning, Gao Tianyuan sent a message to Xiao Liu, the security guard on duty that day.

I asked him to bring me breakfast from the community canteen.

Same as always: one meat and one vegetable bun, tea eggs, and millet porridge.

I can just pick up my breakfast on my way to Takamagahara.

It saves me the trouble of queuing up when I arrive.

Xiao Liu handed the breakfast to Manager Gao and asked curiously, "Brother Gao, you're here much earlier than usual today."

Gao Tianyuan replied in a low voice, "I need to report to the leader."

When the topic of work came up, Xiao Liu winked at him: "Brother Gao, what about my next night shift?"

Gao Tianyuan reassured him, "You're still at the South Gate."

The community has set up three gates, and the security guards are most willing to be on duty at the south gate.

Because it's close to the community canteen.

It's convenient to buy food before and after get off work.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Liu brought up the new dishes at the community canteen that had been available recently.

Large steamed buns filled with cabbage and cockles, and tomato soup dumplings that were just served today.

"The tomato soup dumplings were a limited-edition tasting. I managed to get one this morning, and it tasted amazing—perfectly tangy, with a burst of soup inside with every bite."

Takamagahara imagined tomato-flavored soup dumplings, which seemed quite different from the fresh meat dumplings in front of him.

I'll try it sometime.

"Brother Chen said there will be a tasting at noon." Then, Xiao Liu also reminded the other party that Manager Wu's car had already arrived.

Gao Tianyuan quickly swallowed the bun in his hand, took a few quick steps, and went to Manager Wu's office with the remaining millet porridge.

The two exchanged brief greetings.

Manager Wu seemed to be in a good mood.

He noticed the porridge in the other person's hand and his words carried a hint of concern: "You haven't had breakfast yet, Xiao Gao?"

The leader's sudden concern left Gao Tianyuan somewhat at a loss.

He replied, "I bought it from the community canteen near the entrance. I was thinking of calling you over to report on my work first."
-
"No rush, you should eat first."

"It's okay, there are only two mouthfuls of porridge left. I finished the steamed buns on the way."

Gao Tianyuan then reported on his recent work achievements.

Although I didn't put in much effort, the number of people paying property management fees this year is indeed higher than last year.

He suspected it might be because the residents' group had become a customer group for the community canteen. Of course, when reporting his work, Xiao Gao embellished this phenomenon slightly, and didn't portray himself as completely incompetent.

Manager Wu was quite satisfied after hearing the story.

The process isn't that important; the result is what he cares about most.

Previously, the homeowner "Zihan's mother" took the lead in establishing a homeowners' committee to change the property management company, which caused him a lot of trouble. Recently, this woman has indeed quieted down a lot.

"You've been working hard lately."

"Of course," Xiao Gao replied.

He simply made some minor adjustments according to the homeowner's wishes, such as opening the roller shutter door in the underground parking garage. But the effect was quite good.

The homeowners are very satisfied.

He suggested:

"Boss, next, I'd like to upgrade the license plate recognition system in the underground parking garage to make it easier for residents to enter and exit the community, especially since it's convenient for people to go out for breakfast in the morning. This will definitely improve the satisfaction of our property management."

Wu Jianlin nodded: "The one at the community canteen, right?"

"Yes, this is the restaurant. The owner is also a resident of our community. The business is very good. Before, you had to queue up to eat there and couldn't find a seat. Now they've rented the place next door."

The community canteen is already quite well-known around the Sunshine City residential area.

It's not that everyone knows it, but if you want to eat steamed buns, it's hard to find anywhere else.

Wu Jianlin had certainly heard of this small restaurant.

The community's homeowners' group should all be renamed "customers' group".

Although he felt a bit embarrassed as the property manager, it was a good sign.

There is a store that has improved the happiness of the residents in the community and eased the conflicts with the property management.

Wu Jianlin hopes that this store can continue to operate.

Further improvements to facilitate residents' travel should be put on the agenda.

Wu Jianlin accepted Xiao Gao's suggestion.

"This needs to be done as soon as possible. I'll go talk to the finance department in a bit."

"The leader is wise." Xiao Gao offered a fitting compliment.

However, Wu Jianlin has never actually been to the community canteen. "Is it really that good? I haven't tried it yet."

Xiao Gao looked at the porridge that was now down to just one mouthful.

There's definitely no way we can let the leaders try it again.

He then said, "Boss, you eat at home every day, isn't that great? I'm so envious."

Wu Jianlin felt somewhat proud as the young people praised him.

"Hehe, your sister-in-law cooks every day, and I rarely eat out for three meals a day. What does her shop have? I heard they have steamed buns and stir-fries?"

Gao Tianyuan often eats at the community canteen and is familiar with the types of food available there.

He also ordered mooncakes from the community canteen.

So I gave the leader a brief description of the types of food currently sold in the community canteen.

"This owner is really something. He often comes up with new products. He just made tomato soup dumplings the other day."

"Tomato soup dumplings?" Wu Jianlin's interest was piqued upon hearing this.

He had eaten it in Jingchu a long time ago, but he had never found anything similar in Haibin City.

So much so that I've forgotten exactly what it tasted like.

But Gao Tianyuan had never eaten it before. He only remembered what Xiao Liu had told him, so he repeated it:
"Mmm, the tomato soup dumplings taste especially good, sour but not sour, and the soup flows out with every bite."

Wu Jianlin savored the memory for a moment.

I felt a little unsatisfied:

"His shop sells steamed buns at noon too, right? I'd like to try them."

Gao Tianyuan thought to himself, "Boss, how am I supposed to respond? I was just envious of you eating at home every day, and now you're going to eat out."

He tentatively asked, "We happen to have tomato soup dumplings for lunch, shall we have one?"

Wu Jianlin nodded: "Okay, I'll tell my wife."
