CHAPTER 525: CHAPTER 286: FLATTERING THE BOSS (PART 3)

Thinking about this, An Youyou could only despise herself inwardly: An Youyou, oh An Youyou, this New Year really left you craving, you weren’t like this before.

Actually, An Youyou wasn’t the only one feeling this way, Qin Huai also felt the same.

He himself was a bit bewildered.

He was well aware whether his fire control had improved or not.

Improved, but not by much.

Fire control is really hard to hone.

Although the fire control hadn’t notably progressed, the filling was much more fragrant than before. Is the filling really that important?

Thinking about this, Qin Huai couldn’t help but suck in a breath.

Master Level filling, terrifying indeed.

.

5:30 AM.

"Here, the Four Happiness glutinous rice is done. Everyone worked hard this morning, have some rice to fill your stomachs. An Youyou, did you remember the timing for cooking them earlier? Four pots cooking four types of rice, don’t be afraid to cook more."

"Start cooking from 5:50, after cooking, make sure to let them cool for 3 minutes and 50 seconds, otherwise if guests get burnt it wouldn’t be good to explain."

"The wrapped Three Meat Buns and Five Fillings Bun, start steaming at 6. Just cut radishes should be kept, later I’m going to make radish cake."

"Chen An, come over here."

"Did you receive the picture I just sent you? The meat filling for the Four Happiness rice should be made according to this standard, the minced meat earlier isn’t good enough, bun filling can be compromised but not the meat filling for the rice balls. Mince some fat into the previous meat and either give it to my dad or make buns."

Master Qin was holding Four Happiness rice, eating while assigning tasks to those he could name and those effective helpers.

An Youyou, afraid she wouldn’t remember, specifically took a sticky note and wrote what Qin Huai instructed on it and stuck it to the wall.

It was rare for Qin Huai to wake up so early, and cooking the Three Meat Bun filling made him really hungry, so now he devoured two portions of Four Happiness rice lordly, and seeing everyone being cautious not eating, he said:

"Eat, the first pot cooked is for everyone."

There were quite a few people in the kitchen, most of them were assistants, and these assistants Qin Huai not only didn’t know personally, but couldn’t even name.

Similarly, the assistants were the same, Qin Huai hadn’t returned to Yunzhong Restaurant for months, everyone only knew him by name but hadn’t seen him.

The ones more familiar with Qin Huai, Chen An and An Youyou didn’t start eating, as they were noting the tasks Qin Huai assigned, Huang Xi was outside contacting suppliers to order radishes, and others didn’t dare eat either.

As for Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen, their routine was synced with Qin Luo’s after they faced no work pressure, waiting until after 6 to come to the kitchen with Qin Luo.

Upon hearing Qin Huai’s words, everyone picked up their bowls and started eating.

This was the first time all of them were eating Four Happiness rice, and many were even learning about this snack for the first time.

Almost every assistant’s first reaction upon seeing Four Happiness rice was: Such a large rice ball and oddly shaped.

Everyone took the first bite together.

"Wow."

No one knew who uttered the first "Wow."

"Awesome."

No one knew who first exclaimed "Awesome."

"Was our restaurant food always this good? No wonder those uncles and aunties outside are so attached to the boss."

"Would eating two bowls deduct my pay?"

"If deducting your pay would you eat?"

"Eat!"

"Wow, I’ve never eaten anything so delicious in my life."

Chen An heard everyone whispering loudly and thought you all are such flattery masters, praising so obviously in front of the boss.

The boss makes excellent snacks but not so exaggeratedly good.

As Chen An contemplated how to flatter later, he took a bite of the rice.

He was eating the red bean filling.

A bite.

The outer skin was soft and chewy, the red bean was warm, with a grainy texture in the mouth, sweet but not excessive, even eating it felt slightly smooth.

Wow, is this red bean filling?!

If this is red bean filling, then what have I been eating all these years in red bean paste buns?

"Wow!"
