The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 22 is just like this (Thanks to Wuyue Feixing for the reward!)
Just as Ouyang was savoring the taste of crab shell yellow with both happiness and regret and was about to order another plate, the Morning Jogging Uncle Group came in.

Six old men came, one more than yesterday.

Each of them was dressed in a shirt, casual pants or sweatpants. The sweat on their foreheads had not yet dried, and their shirts were half wet. You could tell at a glance that they had just returned from a serious morning run.

"Wow, there are sesame cakes this morning!" Uncle Xu, a breakfast connoisseur, exclaimed as soon as he entered the store. He then quickly walked to the window and stared at the crab shell yellow with a look of delight on his face. "Crab shell yellow, it's fresh out of the oven, right? I caught it."

Grandpa Xu pointed at the crab shell yellow and said impatiently, "Young man, give me two of these. One basket of yesterday's buns each, and a bowl of iced green bean soup. I'm so tired."

After saying that, Uncle Xu sat down at the familiar table number 9 and slumped back in his chair.

"How long have you been running? You're already complaining about being tired. And you're saying I'm stingy. I think you've been used to a life of luxury in the past two years. You eat so much after running. When will your blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids go down?" Uncle Cao complained mercilessly, scanning the code skillfully. "Your waiter hasn't come to work yet. Two crab shell roe and a basket of three-piece buns. Pass it on."

The other uncles scanned the code and placed orders, as familiar as if they were regular customers who had been eating there for half a year. Only the new uncle looked at the menu hesitantly, feeling that he had encountered a new type of breakfast scam.

"Why are the things in your store so expensive?" the old man questioned. "A piece of crab shell yellow costs 5 yuan. I remember it only costs 2 yuan in my neighborhood. Yours is double the price."

"We are now offering a 7% discount on our new store opening, and this crab shell yellow is a new product with fresh shrimp filling. It is a limited-time special offer, the same price as the ones with fresh meat filling, 5 yuan each. Tomorrow it will return to the original price of 8 yuan each." Qin Huai explained with a smile.

The real reason was that Qinhuai did not plan to make crab shell yellow with fresh shrimp filling at the beginning, and did not make a menu, and the menu would not be delivered until the afternoon.

The old man hesitated even more.

"Wang Laogen, stop wasting time. The breakfast in this restaurant is a bit expensive, but it's delicious. The radishes in boutique supermarkets and those sold on street stalls are almost the same price. You've been calculating money for forty or fifty years and you still haven't gotten enough. I asked you to come here for a jog so that I can take you to this restaurant. Trust me, it's absolutely delicious and worth the money!" Uncle Cao began to whisper devilishly.

"That's right. This store just opened yesterday. If it opens later, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in even if you queue up." Uncle Xu has become a loyal fan. He has temporarily put aside his past grudges with Uncle Cao and formed a united front.

"It's not Gusu, how delicious can the crab shell roe be?" Uncle Wang muttered.

Although it was too expensive, under the enthusiastic recommendation of Uncle Cao and Uncle Xu, Uncle Wang still hesitated and ordered a crab shell yellow, a basket of five-piece steamed buns and a basket of three-piece steamed buns.

The buns are still a little hot after being steamed, and the crab shell roe can be eaten directly.

For a moment, the whole restaurant was filled with the rich aroma of crab shell yellow.

Uncle Xu couldn't stop eating. He swallowed two in two bites, stood up with the plate and went to order a few more.

"Bang." Uncle Wang, who was sitting opposite Uncle Xu, slammed the table excitedly, scaring Uncle Xu so much that he almost dropped the plate due to a trembling hand.

"Wang Laogen, why are you banging the table? You have to compensate me for the broken plates!" Uncle Xu said dissatisfiedly. Damn Wang Laogen, he almost made him pay for the plates.

Uncle Wang was unmoved and said excitedly, "This is the taste!"

All the uncles:?

Is Wang Laogen also suffering from Alzheimer's?
The progression of this disease is getting serious. Should I call his spouse to pick him up?
"What's that smell?" Uncle Cao asked. "The smell of crab shell yellow!"

All uncles:? ?
Uncle Wang was so excited that he was a little incoherent, gesticulating and saying, "It tastes exactly like the crab shell yellow I ate in Gusu when I was young. It tastes exactly like this! It must be stuffed with fresh shrimp. I have never eaten anything so authentic in my life!"

All the uncles: ...

Well, it’s time to start reminiscing about the glorious past.

Uncle Wang recalled emotionally: "Back then, I was an accountant at a textile factory. Our textile factory was one of the largest factories in Suzhou. The state-owned restaurant was right next to the factory. At that time, the thing I looked forward to most every day was riding my bike after get off work to queue up to buy crab shell yellow."

"You don't know, but the crab shell yellow made by the chef in that shop is always ready at 1pm every day. It's so delicious that it can be smelled from miles away!"

"As soon as it came out of the oven, the whole street could smell the fragrance. The line was so long that if you got off work a minute later, you couldn't buy one. At that time, I would rather skip lunch to save the money to buy two to satisfy my craving. If a child promised to eat crab shell yellow but didn't buy one, the child would cry all night. I was able to woo my wife because I rode my bike fast and could grab one every time."

"It's a pity that the factory closed down later. I also left Gusu for work and never tasted the same flavor again. I really miss it, back then..."

The uncles may have become accustomed to Uncle Wang reminiscing about the past from time to time, so everyone is calm and busy eating, and no one pays any attention to him.

After reminiscing for a few minutes, Uncle Wang had almost finished talking about the passionate years of his youth. He felt that he had suddenly become 40 years younger and regained his appetite. He shouted to the window: "Young man, give me 30 crab shell yellows, pack it up!"

"My old lady likes this taste!"

Qinhuai packs the bags efficiently.

Ouyang was stunned and secretly envious.

He also wanted to shout out that he wanted 30 pieces of crab shell yellow to take away, but he had no money, so he could only pick up the plate and order another one. After eating, he sat in his seat and played with his phone to slack off.

After the uncles left, Qin Huai quietly opened the task panel and took a look at the task progress.

10.4%/25% (39/94)

The progress is encouraging.

These old men seem to be quite powerful, and I guess they must eat out frequently nearby on a daily basis.

When I went out in the morning, the price was still 31/94. Five old men went to eight stores directly.

Qin Huai silently gave a thumbs up to the old men in his heart.
