Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle

Chapter 1240 594: Mission Accomplished

Qin Huai wasn't lying, Wang Gen Sheng's top priority really is to increase his food intake right now.

Because Qin Huai was already very confident that his plan was flawless, under such circumstances where even Qin Huai believed in his own idea, the only problem could be with the person doing the taste test.

Not eating enough.

Each piece of cake gets only one bite, and at the speed Qin Huai is making snacks, Wang Gen Sheng might not be able to keep up.

Three days later, Wang Gen Sheng started his routine of taking one bite of each piece of cake, opening his eyes every day to eat cake, burping himself to sleep at night, and instinctively eating cake first thing after waking up.

Of course, considering Wang Gen Sheng's age and the fact that he has yet to successfully cross the tribulation, Qin Huai was also afraid of pushing him too hard to the point of overdoing it, so the quantity was still controlled.

However, in making snacks, especially when it comes to making thematic snacks, piling up the quantity is inevitable.

Even though Qin Huai had already determined the method for making the pastry and knew the general direction of the filling, there were still many details to work out.

Of course, Wang Gen Sheng cooperated well, eating with great effort.

You could see that Wang Gen Sheng really wanted to taste the flavor of the red silk cake from his memory, even if he may not be exactly sure what that flavor truly tasted like.

Six days had passed since eating the red silk cakes.

December 31st, New Year's Eve.

This wasn't much of a holiday; the real holiday was January 1st, New Year's Day, that's when the day off is. But because of the hype merchants have created over the years, New Year's Eve seems more important than the actual holiday.

Traffic jams, fully booked restaurants, and a series of entertainment venues like KTV, movie theaters, and board game cafes all raise their prices, even Qin Luo's school let out early (normally, if released at the usual time, Qin Luo would be stuck in traffic until eight or nine o'clock before arriving home).

In such a seemingly important but essentially ordinary day, what was Qin Huai doing?

Making red silk cakes.

So what were the trio in the kitchen, Ouyang, Shi Dadan, and Wang Gen Sheng, doing?

Eating red silk cakes.

What were Xu Tuqiang and others from the neighborhood group doing?

They stayed at their homes, as Yunzhong Restaurant was booming with business on New Year's Eve, and quite a few companies in nearby office buildings dismissed their employees one or two hours early (though some people still needed to work overtime on New Year's Eve).

For regular office workers, getting off work one or two hours early doesn't change much, but for those working near Yunzhong Restaurant, it means they can rush over to grab some snacks.

This directly caused Yunzhong Restaurant to be packed on New Year's Eve, and since it was rare for Qin Luo to finish school early, Qin Huai decided to make her a grand meal, extending the time for making snacks, and while making Qin Luo's favorite snacks, he didn't forget to produce red silk cakes in bulk and consistently.

This directly led to many office workers mistakenly thinking this was a special New Year's surprise from Master Qin, doing his best on December 31 to ensure that every office worker could eat a piece of red silk cake before heading home.

What more is there to say, buy it!

Everyone gets one piece, never buying more, because it's not just a regular snack, it's a New Year's gift from Master Qin, a surprise and a heartfelt sentiment from him on this important day.

Of course, Qin Huai was completely unaware of all this, he merely felt that, true to New Year's Eve, business was indeed booming, Yunzhong Restaurant was as packed as a sardine can, while there were still many sardines outside trying to push in.

Qin Huai was a bit worried, fearing Qin Luo wouldn't be able to squeeze into the kitchen later.

On such a crowded day, the small tables positioned inside the kitchen looked like VIP seating.

Qin Luo got off after only two classes this afternoon and arrived home early, Qin Huai told Qin Luo not to come to the restaurant to eat snacks too early, but to first work on two practice papers at home and come around 6:00 PM.

Since many signature snacks were made tonight, Qin Huai also specifically warned Wang Gen Sheng not to eat too many red silk cakes in the afternoon, to save some space for a good meal at 6:00 PM.

Wang Gen Sheng was surely not going to heed Qin Huai's warning, but weren't Ouyang and Shi Dadan supervising? Under their monitoring, Wang Gen Sheng had only eaten 11 bites of red silk cake and drank two cups of tea in the afternoon.

As a strict supervisor, Ouyang wouldn't even let Wang Gen Sheng drink too much tea, fearing that he'd fill himself up with tea and wouldn't be able to eat later at 6:00 PM.

At 6:15 PM, Qin Luo successfully squeezed into the kitchen, joyfully exclaiming in a slightly disheveled ponytail state, "Brother, what are we having for dinner tonight? I'm starving, while doing the papers this afternoon, all I could think about was eating chips, but you told me there would be a feast tonight, so I held back!"

As Qin Luo spoke, she retied her hair, not into a ponytail, but putting it up, signaling her readiness to enjoy dinner seriously tonight.

This was the signal that Qin Luo was going all out for dinner tonight.

"Why rush? The red silk cakes won't be ready for another two minutes, let's wait for all the snacks to be ready and eat together." Qin Huai said, as he served four bowls of chicken soup noodles on the table.

All four bowls of chicken soup noodles were Level A, with the broth made by Wang Jun. Although he hadn't been present much lately, he had been silently working as a meat cooking chef in the back kitchen of Yunzhong Restaurant, as Qin Huai's first assistant, diligently training in broth-making techniques every day.

As Wang Jun would put it, he hadn't had as many opportunities to make broth at Huang Ji, but came to Yunzhong Restaurant, he couldn't stop making broths from the moment he opened his eyes every day, his broth-making skills improving dramatically. People who knew would think he had come to a community restaurant renowned for its pastries for an exchange, others might think he was training at a top meat cooking restaurant.
