Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle

Chapter 1203 576: Hospice Care

When Qin Huai finally walked out of Luo Jun's house, he still felt somewhat dazed.

Luo Jun's calm demeanor had already explained everything, and it was no longer important what Luo Jun had said.

Luo Jun was going to die, and this time it was for real.

When this thought emerged in Qin Huai's mind, he himself found it absurd. It seemed absurd for the thought to even appear, and it seemed absurd that he hadn't realized Luo Jun really was going to die until now.

Qin Huai was not really good at saying goodbye.

Even though he grew up in an orphanage, and as a child thought his parents didn't want him anymore, and fellow students with bad temperaments would often use this to attack orphans, using the most innocent tone to say the cruelest things. Many playmates from the orphanage were adopted by new parents and taken away, some losing contact from then on.

But Qin Huai never considered this as a farewell.

Qin Huai always believed that true farewells were those of life and death; as long as he didn't know the other person was dead, it wasn't considered a farewell. Of course, even if he knew the person had died, without any emotional foundation, it still wasn't a farewell.

As such, Qin Huai had never experienced a farewell in the last twenty-odd years.

Both Mr. Qin and Granny Qin were healthy, and the Qin Family was small, and none of the elders Qin Huai was familiar with had passed away. Over at the Zhao family, because Zhao Rong was not very close to her maternal family, this furthered the distance for Qin Huai, the adopted son.

This resulted in Qin Huai having only a vague concept of death all along. He knew that when people died, they were dead. Death seemed to represent many things, but he wasn't sure exactly what it represented.

As for his spirit friends who had died many times...

They lacked the most basic respect towards death.

Qin Huai felt he should do something for Luo Jun.

Even if Luo Jun could reincarnate with most of his memories, the Luo Jun of the second life wouldn't be Luo Jun anymore, at least not with that name. The Luo Jun of the second life wouldn't be a true spirit; he would briefly become a human, with parents, a family, a social background, and a legal ID. Whether he wanted it or not, he would begin a new life.

As Luo Jun's friend in the first life, Qin Huai wanted to do something for him.

But what to do?

Luo Jun had at most 7 days to live, although this was said by Zhou Hu, an unreliable mystic. But for some reason, Qin Huai actually quite believed Zhou Hu's predictions, maybe because he was a spirit.

In 7 days, Luo Jun couldn't even finish the series he was watching. Qin Huai had previously secretly checked the calendar for Luo Jun's viewing schedule of the series; there were still 15 days to go until it finished.

Now Luo Jun really has to wait for the next life to finish watching the series from this life.

As a pastry chef, Qin Huai seemed only able to make some snacks for Luo Jun.

Luo Jun was very picky.

Of the things Qin Huai made, apart from the daily essential Dried Tangerine Peel Tea and the occasional craving for Gastrodia stewed pigeon, he only loved what Qin Huai currently made best. This meant Luo Jun's tastes actually changed a lot. When Qin Huai made Three Meat Buns the best, he loved Three Meat Buns. When Qin Huai made Four Happiness glutinous rice best, he loved Four Happiness glutinous rice. Now Qin Huai's Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns was undoubtedly leading, so Luo Jun was very fond of them.

This directly led to when Qin Huai started to recall exactly what Luo Jun's taste was like, whether he preferred sweet, savory, fried, steamed, pastry, or other miscellaneous food, he simply couldn't figure it out.

Qin Huai actually remembered many people's tastes.

He knew Shi Dadan loved hearty main dishes, the simpler the better. Buns and steamed buns, especially white flour steamed buns, were his favorites.

He knew Zheng Siyuan loved handmade noodles, yes, what Zheng Siyuan truly loved was handmade noodles, not Chicken Soup Noodles. As long as they were handmade, whether in chicken soup, pork ribs, or plain water, Zheng Siyuan could accept them.

He knew Chen Huixi's favorite was Hedgehog Buns. Even now with Master Qin making all sorts of fancy snacks, Chen Huixi's favorite remained Hedgehog Buns. It was because Chen Huixi loved sweets, and Hedgehog Buns were filled with red bean paste and the hedgehog shape was very cute.

Qin Luo loved meat-filled snacks, the more meat the better. He currently loved Three Meat Buns the most, occasionally Dream Come True Sesame Bun could replace Three Meat Buns in his heart.

Chen Huihong seemed to eat anything, and especially liked to swipe fruits from Luo Jun's house, appearing to enjoy what didn't cost money, but her favorite snack was actually rice noodle rolls.

Qin Huai didn't make rice noodle rolls often, but every time he made them in the morning, Chen Huihong would always be the first to hear about it and hurry to Yunzhong Restaurant.

No need to say what Xu Tuqiang loved to eat; the whole Yunzhong Restaurant knew that Mr. Xu's favorite was sticky rice cake, a love unwavering until death.

Gong Liang currently loved Four Happiness glutinous rice the most.

Even Zhao Cheng'an, Qin Huai knew his favorite was Yam Cake.

No need to say Qu Jing either; she loved Rice Cake Soup, often cooking it herself at home in her free time, and under Chen Huihong's influence, ended up turning it into plain water spicy hotpot.

Qin Huai knew so many people's tastes, yet didn't even know whether Luo Jun loved sweet or savory.

As Qin Huai sat on his sofa at home, gnawing on a cheese stick realizing this, he felt very ashamed.

They all just remembered Luo Jun's bad temper, how he often wished to spit a fireball to kill them, how Luo Jun disliked going out, how Luo Jun never left Shan City, why Luo Jun failed Crossing Tribulation, what Luo Jun's specific obsession was, how Luo Jun loved buying fruits and liked to buy based on everyone's taste and portion size, but they didn't even remember the most basic thing: what Luo Jun liked to eat.
