Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1004 - 491: Yunzhong Restaurant’s Most Loyal Customer

Chen An's loyalty to Yunzhong Restaurant, or more accurately, to Master Qin, reached its peak the moment he tasted the rice cake.

At that moment, issues of power struggles and reclaiming control seemed absurd to Chen An.

Only when something is lost does one need to reclaim it, but when has our Master Qin ever lost any of this?

Have you eaten rice cake? What? Eaten it? No, you haven't eaten it at all! You don't know what real rice cake tastes like, you don't understand what these two words represent, you don't realize the energy contained within a small piece of rice cake, the extreme deliciousness, and how simple and unpretentious yet top-tier the flavor can be.

For most of the workers at Yunzhong Restaurant, the impact of rice cake far surpasses that of yam cake, possibly because yam cake still counts as a pastry in their minds, whereas rice cake is just an ordinary, cheap breakfast.

Of course, that was the former definition of rice cake.

At this moment, in the hearts of all Yunzhong Restaurant employees who have tasted the rice cake and yam cake, rice cake has become synonymous with the world's most delicious breakfast!

As for Qin Luo...

The child is still at the window, gulping down food.

Although the scene is strange, expressions exaggerated, and the location odd, the child is delighted. Even though not far away is table number 9 where Xu Tuqiang and others sit every morning, Qin Luo refuses to take a seat; she insists on eating by the window.

As if eating this way can best express her highest respect for yam cake and rice cake.

After Qin Luo finished two plates of yam cake and two plates of rice cake, Qin Huai estimated the child was about 60% full and reminded her not to eat anymore, since she wouldn't want to eat the rest of the breakfast later: "Luoluo, eat less, there's still buns later."

"Brother, I don't like buns, just eating a couple for the taste is fine," Qin Luo said, stuffing rice cake in her mouth.

It's true; among all breakfasts, Qin Luo least enjoys white buns. As Qin Luo puts it, white buns are a boring breakfast, like apples. If there's nothing else, they'll do, but given a choice, Qin Luo prefers something else.

"After buns, there are meat buns, big meat buns, and they'll probably make Three Meat Buns too. We'll see about baked buns. Do you remember Zhao Cheng'an, who returned with me yesterday? Although his baked buns are average, his meat filling is better than mine. If he's willing, he can make the meat filling, and I can make the buns, so you can eat Dream Come True Sesame Bun, beef bun, pork bun, and chicken bun."

Qin Luo immediately stopped stuffing rice cake into her mouth, modestly admitting that eating at the window wasn't proper. Even though there wasn't a single customer at Yunzhong Restaurant at that hour, as a good sister to Qin Huai, she shouldn't affect her brother's restaurant environment.

Qin Luo obediently put down the empty plate, grabbed the last rice cake, went to the soybean milk barrel to pour herself a bowl of soybean milk, and found a seat by the window to eat the last rice cake carefully.

Small bites, sip of soy milk, quite restrained.

Qin Huai glanced at the time and found it was already 6:06. At this time, Yunzhong Restaurant wasn't full, but the elderly jogging seniors usually had already taken their seats.

Now, with only Qin Luo seated in Yunzhong Restaurant, it very clearly illustrates the problem.

Indicates that Chen An's breakfast failed to capture the hearts of people, and everyone wants to rush for Zheng Siyuan's 7 o'clock shift.

Also indicates another matter—Zheng Siyuan came early today.

Though Qin Huai hadn't been at Yunzhong Restaurant for several months, he still hears some insider news. For instance, while Zheng Siyuan's starting time had been increasingly early, it wouldn't be earlier than 6 o'clock, but today he arrived earlier than usual, so it was deliberately early.

"Why did you come so early today?" Qin Huai asked.

Zheng Siyuan was still savoring the yam cake, evidently preferring it over the rice cake. The yam cake is more complex and offers a more delicate texture, perfect for slow, small bites to savor.

"You came back, so I came earlier for breakfast," Zheng Siyuan said, gesturing towards the soup barrel nearby, "That's the chicken soup I brewed yesterday. When shall we have Chicken Soup Noodles?"

Qin Huai: ...

Having eaten A-level rice cake and yam cake, Zheng Siyuan still thought about Chicken Soup Noodles. As expected of him, a true Chicken Soup Noodles loyalist.

"After I finish this batch of buns, if you're hungry, you can eat a couple of yam cakes as a snack. Hand-made noodles are quick to make."

Zheng Siyuan nodded and asked again, "Do you want to eat dumplings?"

"Not in the mood today."

Zheng Siyuan nodded again, "Then I won't make them. With you back, Yunzhong Restaurant doesn't lack the dumplings I make in the morning. Later, you can help me taste my fresh meat mooncake. I've had some insights lately, but it always feels like something's missing."

"Alright."

Chen An blatantly eavesdropped on Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan's latest conversation, leaving him with only four words in mind:

Make peace and get along.

Hey, why make peace and get along? Master Qin and Master Xiao Zheng surely haven't turned against each other, have they? Indeed, the two of them have always been close, so why would he feel their relationship suddenly soured?

Tan Wei'an hasn't replied to Chen An's message yet, so Chen An thought it over and edited another message to send:

The relationships at Yunzhong Restaurant are harmonious at the moment, Master Qin has already taken back control of the breakfast shift, and the return of restaurant breakfast business to its peak is just around the corner!
