CHAPTER 568: CHAPTER 304: PRICING (PART 2)
"I suggest putting them in the fridge after removing from the mold for a while; the texture is better."
If eaten directly, it’s not Green Bean Cake, but pure green bean paste.
Han Guishan was stunned, "Isn’t Green Bean Cake supposed to be eaten hot?"
Qin Huai: "...If you like it that way, you can eat it hot, but be careful not to burn yourself, the freshly fried green bean paste is still quite hot."
Seeing that Han Guishan was still dazed, Qin Huai simply took out two small plates and served a little for Han Guishan and Wang Jing. When serving, he specially spread out the green bean paste so it wouldn’t retain heat.
Han Guishan carried two plates of green bean paste back and started eating with Wang Jing.
"Jingjing, Master Qin said the freshly fried green bean paste is quite hot, so we should be careful when eating. And just now, Master Qin said the Green Bean Cake should be chilled..."
Wang Jing completely ignored her husband and started eating on her own, savoring every bite, full of praise.
"Mmm, although it’s a bit hot, the flavor... this rich taste of green beans, this delicate yet sandy texture, this feeling of warmth in the mouth, this is exactly what I want—it’s not sweet but not bland, not plain yet with sweetness, while having a pronounced green bean flavor!"
Han Guishan silently swallowed the rest of his words and started gobbling down.
Just one bite.
Han Guishan: !
The Green Bean Cake is actually this delicious!
I eat, eat, eat!
When Cheng Gong arrived at the family kitchen, this was the scene he saw.
His esteemed Han Guishan, President Han, was digging into a plate of green mush.
His respected Wang Jing, Mr. Wang, was delicately chewing a plate of green mush.
Helping him awaken, his true friend in every sense, Master Qin Huai, was flipping the green bean paste in the pan with an incredulous expression, occasionally throwing questioning looks at Han Guishan and Wang Jing.
Wait, the flipping green bean paste.
President Han and Mr. Wang aren’t eating the shaped Green Bean Cake but the paste?
Why aren’t they eating the formed Green Bean Cake from the mold?
Cheng Gong too was filled with questions, but he kept them hidden.
Seeing Cheng Gong arrive, Han Guishan was delighted, and he pulled up a chair for Cheng Gong to sit, telling him the freshly cooked green bean paste is especially aromatic and must be tasted, and he and Wang Jing had already tried several plates.
Cheng Gong: ...
Since awakening, Cheng Gong’s loyalty to Han Guishan hasn’t waned, but the filter isn’t so strong anymore.
Cheng Gong silently went to grab a plate, casually chatting with Qin Huai.
"President Han’s work is actually quite..." Cheng Gong wanted to explain a couple of things about his President.
"Just suspected President Han might be a spirit that loves food." Qin Huai stated expressionlessly, "So I asked President Han a question."
"What?"
"I asked if he had any other wishes."
"I know it’s abrupt, but I also know President Han is a man of character, he doesn’t catch others on their words in daily life, so I hesitated but asked."
"And then?" Cheng Gong was curious.
"President Han said he wants another plate."
Cheng Gong: ...
Cheng Gong thought for a moment and could only continue to explain, "President Han is just like that... carefree. His personality is actually very good, many business partners find President Han straightforward, generous, and without ulterior motives, they are very willing to cooperate with him. Plus, President Han’s business skills are strong, there’s typically no problem at work, that’s how Good Taste can grow larger and stronger over the years."
Qin Huai sighed, "I know, I also admit President Han is very good."
"I’m just a bit disappointed he’s not a spirit, if he were a spirit, his task would be particularly easy to accomplish."
Cheng Gong laughed, "I think Master Qin, you don’t need to be bound by tasks either."
"Not every game needs to be perfectly completed, not all twelve illustrated guides need to be collected. Every person’s life is their own choice, every spirit’s failure is also their own choice, you don’t need to feel burdened."
"Even if someday you really encounter a spirit like Mr. Luo that can’t be helped, whose situation might be worse than Mr. Luo, he’s in his final lifetime destined to head towards the end of failure, that is also his own choice, none of which should be blamed on you."
"Don’t have too much psychological burden."
"I know." Qin Huai nodded, "Chen Huihong and Qu Jing also mentioned this to me."
As he spoke, a batch of hot green bean paste was finished.
Qin Huai directly took the plate from Cheng Gong’s hand and served him a dish: "It’s very hot now, wait a bit before eating."
"Although I don’t understand why President Han and Mr. Wang want to eat the freshly fried, but I just tasted a bite."
"It was actually quite alright."
"However, the rest already formed into molds as Green Bean Cake, I still recommend chilling in the fridge, eating cold is better."
"By the way, where did you source these green beans? The quality is really very good, can you get me some and send them to Shan City?"
Cheng Gong smiled slightly, "Of course, if Master Qin needs, I can help you get in touch, supply in large quantities."
"Peeled green beans, ensure every single bean is peeled cleanly."
.
In the afternoon, Qin Huai spent the entire afternoon in the family kitchen making B-grade Green Bean Cake, and cut radishes for half an hour. Due to Cheng Gong’s preparation of an exceedingly great amount of ingredients, until Qin Huai left the kitchen, the green beans were not finished.
But it won’t go to waste, according to Cheng Gong, the remaining green beans will become green bean soup for the company cafeteria tomorrow noon.
Incidentally, the Green Bean Cake Qin Huai made in the afternoon only shows its grade once molded and shaped into proper Green Bean Cake, the freshly fried green bean paste does not display.
