The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 3: Warm Pot Rice (Thanks to Mrs. Mizo for the cover!)

"What's so difficult?" Qin Luo came back with a bag of original potato chips and the iced black tea that Ouyang had ordered, and handed the iced black tea to Ouyang, "Brother, where are we going to eat later?"

"Your brother Ouyang said that it's really hard to find a cleaner who doesn't make 5k a month." Qin Huai had read the random reply, "Eat fried food, it's next to the nearby shopping mall, and the decoration is pretty good from the pictures."

Qin Luo's eyes lit up immediately: "5k! Being a cleaner earns 5k! Brother, hire me as a cleaner after your canteen opens. My school starts in September. I only want 9k."

"If that doesn't work, 3k5 will do!"

Qin Luo opened his mouth and rolled it up.

Ouyang: ...Is this kid obsessed with money?
"Has your family become so difficult?" Ouyang asked Qin Huai in a low voice.

Is the situation so difficult that my own daughter, who just finished her high school entrance exam, has to work as a cleaner to earn money to supplement the family income?
Qin Huai: "...Not really, it's mainly because Luo Luo owes me a lot of money."

Ouyang looked at Qin Huai and his eyes suddenly turned into a beast's. You even cheated your sister's money. Are you still a human being?

"In order to encourage Luoluo to study, my parents set a rule that she can only eat snacks if she scores a certain number on the exam. Otherwise, she can only eat the buns sold at home."

"But Luoluo is greedy. If she can't get it, she will cry and make a scene. She insists on using her pocket money and New Year's money to buy it. As a result, her academic performance has not been very ideal during her three years of junior high school. As a result, she has already owed me..." Qin Huai opened his phone and took a look at the memo, "18612 yuan."

Ouyang:?
"Do you usually have a full banquet at home?"

"No, just some simple dim sum, like crab shell yellow, five-shaped buns, four-happiness dumplings, pea yellow, donkey rolls, white jade frost cake, Dingsheng cake, lotus cake, eight-treasure cake, lotus root powder meatballs, Buddha's hand cake, golden silk siu mai, sugar-coated fire cake, kidney bean rolls, etc. I set the prices very reasonably, mainly because the quantity is large, and after eating them for a while, you owe me so much money."

Ouyang: ???
Doesn’t your family run a breakfast shop?
Do your breakfast shops in the county towns in Guangdong Province sell these?

During lunch, Ouyang's mind was full of crab shell yellow, five-spice buns, four-happiness dumplings, pea yellow, donkey rolls and white jade frost cake. He didn't even pay attention to what everyone was saying at the table.

What, you want to ask if Ouyang doesn't like the remaining snacks? He can only say that there are too many and he can't remember them all.

"Xiao Ou, what do you think of Xiao Qin's idea?"

Ouyang, whose mind was full of crab shell yellow, was awakened by Chen Huihong's words, and belatedly exclaimed: "What idea?"

"Xiao Qin thinks that it's a waste to use the two floors of Yunzhong Canteen as a community canteen for such a large area. It would be better to sell dim sum on the first floor and dine in on the second floor. This will increase the variety and have its own characteristics. I think it's a good idea. We have quite a few restaurants in this area, but not many dim sum shops, and even fewer with such a large dining area. Xiao Qin said you have tasted his cooking, so you have more say." Chen Huihong said.

Ouyang replied without thinking: "Qin Huai's pastry making skills are definitely beyond reproach. Sister Hong, go ask around in our school now. Maybe there are some seniors who remember the Master Huai brand meat buns."

Chen Huihong became interested: "Have you ever sold snacks in school?"

"It's not selling. One year our school followed the trend and held a cooking competition. It seemed to be hosted by the contractor of the six canteens. The top 10 winners could get extra credits, 2-4 winners could get bonuses, and the first winner not only got bonuses but also a one-year unlimited dining card for the six canteens." Qin Huai said.

"And you took first place?" Chen Huihong asked curiously. Even Chen Huihui, who had just recovered from a fever and looked pale, with no appetite and no energy, tilted her head to look at Qin Huai.

"No, I'm second. It may be because the noodles I made are easier to share. The stir-fried dishes made by other students only have a certain amount of food. Many students have eaten the noodles I made, so everyone has a deeper impression of me."

Ouyang waved his hand and took over the conversation: "What is easier to divide? The first place is the nephew of the contractor of the sixth canteen. He got the first place by operating in secret. As soon as you taste his boiled fish, you can tell that it is made with the seasoning packet of boiled fish. The taste is exactly the same as my mother's. I have been eating it for 1 years, and I know it is that brand as soon as I taste it. How can it be compared with the steamed buns made by Qin Huai? The meat buns you make have thin skin and large fillings. The gravy seeps into the buns without dripping oil, and the skin is chewy. It is 20 blocks better than the overnight meat buns in the sixth canteen, okay?" As he said this, Ouyang almost drooled, his face full of nostalgia: "It's a pity that Qin Huai only did it that once. Later, when we had club activities, we asked Qin Huai to cook. The dish he cooked... Oh, I won't say it anymore."

Qin Huai:?
After hearing what Ouyang said, Qin Luo nodded in agreement: "My brother's cooking is not delicious, not even as good as the 10 yuan stir-fry next door to my house. My mother said that this is called God opening a door for you and closing a window."

Qin Huai: ? ?

Hearing what the two said, Chen Huihong smiled and said, "Xiao Qin's idea is indeed worth a try. After hearing what you said, I also want to try it."

Before Qin Huai could even throw out three question marks, Chen Huihong's words made his expression change slightly.

In his side quest column, there is still the task "Chen Huihong's Affirmation".

Although the title of [Chen Huihong's Affirmation] may not be useful, Qin Huai still thinks the reward of +100 popularity is very good.

What Ouyang said before was actually correct. The canteen itself is free, but the costs of labor, water and electricity are also a considerable expense. The competition in the nearby catering industry is so fierce that the community canteen may not be able to make money.

At this time, it is very important to attract traffic during the opening.

When Qin Congwen's Qinji breakfast shop opened 20 years ago, everyone knew that if they bought buns, they would get soy milk for free, and they would also set off dozens of firecrackers to increase popularity.

Qin Huai was just worrying about how to get close to Chen Huihong and bring about the parent-child cooking day, but Chen Huihong's words were like a pillow thrown to him when he was sleepy.

"Sister Hong, if you are interested, you can try it tonight. I may not be very good at cooking, but I am pretty good at making snacks. I need to warm up the pot for moving, so if you don't mind, please come to my house tonight and have some snacks as a main meal. Just consider it as me warming up the pot and the house." Qin Huai said with a smile.

"Is there anything you want to eat?" Qin Huai glanced at Chen Huihui and repeated the question with a smile.

Chen Huihui was rather timid. Seeing Qin Huai staring at her, she quickly shrank her neck and subconsciously looked towards her mother Chen Huihong.

"Brother, I want to eat four-happiness dumplings!" Qin Luo couldn't wait to order the dishes.

"Brother...ah no, Qin Huai, I want to eat meat buns!" Ouyang also blurted out.

As soon as Ouyang finished speaking, he regretted it. Why eat meat buns? At this time, he must eat crab shell yellow, five-spice buns, four-happiness dumplings, pea yellow, donkey rolls and white jade frost cake.

No matter what the taste is, order the ones you haven't tried first.

Seeing that both of them had finished ordering, Chen Huihong thought for a moment and said, "Red bean paste buns, Huihui likes sweet food."

Chen Huihui nodded.

"Okay, then those are the three. I'll make some wontons, and everyone can come to my house tonight at 6:30 to have a warm pot meal." Qin Huai made the decision, and it was settled.
