CHAPTER 793: CHAPTER 401: FOUR HAPPINESS FLOWER ROLLS (PART 3)
As usual, he first ordered his favorite staples: Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns, Three Meat Buns, fresh meat mooncake, Four Happiness Flower Rolls, and a big pot of rice, before moving on to order dishes.
Since he arrived a bit late, the table behind him already had their snacks served while he was ordering, and it was Four Happiness Flower Rolls.
Boss Shi glanced at the table behind him before sitting down and vaguely remembered there were quite a few people, including adults, children, and elderly.
The table behind him was actually Qin Huai’s acquaintances and also Wang Gen Sheng’s acquaintances.
Qian Zhongheng’s family.
As soon as the Four Happiness Flower Rolls were served, Qian Zhongheng’s son exclaimed, "Dad, your intel is wrong! Didn’t you say these Four Happiness Flower Rolls look not so pleasing but taste pretty good? I think they look great, much better than those so-called cartoon Flower Rolls and buns sold in breakfast shops."
Qian Zhongheng did not expect his intel to be wrong, his old face turned red, but he insisted, "What do you know? With Master Qin’s skills, making the Flower Rolls look like this might just be not so good-looking."
Shi Dadan heard the guests behind him mention Master Qin and couldn’t help but turn back for a look, and he was taken aback by the Four Happiness Flower Rolls on their table.
Shi Dadan tilted his head in confusion, thinking, are these still Four Happiness Rolls?
How did they become so pretty?
Qian Zhongheng was still stubbornly saying, "If such a design is regarded as ugly, then the taste must be exceptionally delicious. Hurry and eat, they’re 18 bucks each."
Everyone at the table stretched out their chopsticks; even the 6-year-old grandson grabbed half a roll, and the other half was put into his dear dad’s bowl.
Qian Zhongheng took the lead, biting into a roll, and let out a satisfied sound.
"Hmm."
He devoured one ravenously, took a sip of tea, and cursed, "Old Xiao really had misinformation. It’s a shame he’s a member and eats here two days more than I do, claiming that this Four Happiness Flower Roll is the low-end version of Four Happiness Rolls, that Zheng Da didn’t teach well, leading to Master Qin’s ugly poor-looking roll, that can only be called a Flower Roll."
"Clearly it’s quite pretty! Just one look and you know it’s a Flower Roll; what does it have to do with Four Happiness Rolls? And the taste is better than Zheng Da’s Four Happiness Rolls. The Four Happiness Rolls Zheng Da made in his first year were the truly ugly, tasteless ones. The ones from later years improved slightly."
Qian Zhongheng’s memory was evidently good.
Bai Xiujuan (Qian Zhongheng’s wife) was still nibbling on the Four Happiness Flower Roll leisurely, listening to Qian Zhongheng dissing Zheng Da, she couldn’t help but speak for Zheng Da: "Back then, it was normal for Little Zheng to not do well. Master Jing suddenly retired due to illness, and Little Zheng wasn’t prepared, he was so young at that time."
"To be fair, when Little Zheng took over, could you find any chef in the entire Gusu area who could make snacks tastier than he did?"
"If you could find one, you wouldn’t keep mumbling that Little Zheng wasn’t skilled enough, didn’t learn the essence of Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns from his master, yet hurried home after work as if you couldn’t wait to pedal your bicycle till sparks flew to grab the buns."
Qian Zhongheng: ...
"But Master Qin isn’t very old now either."
Bai Xiujuan raised her voice: "Can Zheng Da compare with Master Qin?"
Eavesdropping Shi Dadan: ...
Shi Dadan glanced at the menu and canceled the 6 Four Happiness Rolls he had just ordered.
Order placed.
Within two minutes of ordering, the waiter came over with the receipt to Shi Dadan’s table and didn’t forget to ask, "Mr. Shi, are you not having Four Happiness Flower Rolls today? Did you forget when ordering? Want me to add them for you?"
You could say it was very thoughtful.
Shi Dadan shook his head: "Today the Four Happiness Flower Rolls officially launched, right? I’ve seen them on the normal menu. I have a big appetite, so I won’t compete with everyone for it, Qin Huai can’t make too many every day, don’t want to tire him out."
"Here’s the banana I brought for Qin Huai, could you please send it to the kitchen later?"
"Okay, Mr. Shi."
