Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1047 - 507: The Strength of the Breakfast Chef (Part 3)
Hehehe, Master Qin said I chopped the meat filling well.
Chen An felt that he wouldn't lose his job.
.
Because making breakfast was too busy, Qin Huai didn't have time to make chicken soup noodles for Zheng Siyuan this morning. Although Zheng Siyuan felt a bit disappointed, he understood. Even though he didn't understand why Qin Huai suddenly became so enthusiastic about making breakfast as if energized, Zheng Siyuan thought Qin Huai must have his reasons.
Zheng Siyuan also had something to tell Qin Huai.
"I plan to return to Gusu the day after tomorrow." Zheng Siyuan said this while eating his favorite coconut paste mooncake, "Did you find a new recipe online? Why do I feel the coconut paste mooncakes you baked today smell better than yesterday's?"
"I got a new recipe." Qin Huai answered while kneading the dough, "I learned a technique to knead oil and sugar into the dough, and I also made slight improvements to the filling."
"You're going back to Gusu the day after tomorrow, right? I didn't have time to make coconut jelly for you today. Tomorrow, I'll make a reduced sugar version of coconut jelly for you. I got a new recipe for coconut jelly yesterday, the kind that uses the least sugar. I haven't made it yet, so I don't know how it will turn out. I'll make it tomorrow and you can try it."
"Okay." Zheng Siyuan nodded.
"Did you gain anything this time?" Qin Huai asked.
"Not much." Zheng Siyuan admitted honestly, "I thought coming here would let me soak up some spiritual energy and gain some insight, but things didn't go as I hoped. I feel like the snacks I'm practicing now don't suit me. I don't really like them. I still prefer making fresh meat mooncakes."
"Focusing on one kind of snack is good." Qin Huai said, "When I went to Zhiwei Restaurant this time, I found that even many of the masters there truly excel in only one or two kinds of snacks. The other snacks are good but not astonishing. Everyone has what they're good at and what they like, just do what you enjoy."
"I also realized after going to Zhiwei Restaurant that I still like making buns and steamed buns the most."
"My dad called me this morning." Zheng Siyuan said, "He said Uncle Gong wants to transfer all his shares in Huang Ji to you."
Qin Huai continued his work, just inwardly marveling at Gong Liang's efficiency—something decided only yesterday was being implemented today.
Qin Huai didn't respond to Zheng Siyuan's words, waiting for him to continue.
"Uncle Gong said he's planning to invest in a big project soon and is having some cash flow issues, so he intends to sell off some idle assets. Originally, he didn't plan to sell his shares in Huang Ji, but he feels you owning the shares suits better. Since you also want to buy and he needs the money, he plans to sell to you."
"Do you know the exact situation? How could Uncle Gong suddenly be so short on money, was he... scammed?"
Qin Huai: ...
The idea of a scammer being scammed sounds quite humorous.
"I'm not very clear, Mr. Gong asked if I was interested in taking over his shares in Huang Ji. As you know, I have quite a bit of spare money; I was also worried that others buying the shares might meddle with the restaurant's affairs, which would be bad for Huang Ji, so I bought them."
"As for what happened with Mr. Gong, I didn't ask."
"But it should just be normal business matters. Mr. Gong has been in business for so many years, and he's smart, he wouldn't be fooled, right."
Zheng Siyuan thought Qin Huai made sense, but was still a bit worried: "I hope so, my dad asked me to check with you, if everything's normal, my dad can be more at ease."
"Has Master Huang agreed?"
"If Mr. Gong wants to sell the shares to you, of course my Uncle agrees, he..."
Before Zheng Siyuan could finish, Qin Huai's phone rang. Qin Huai glanced at it; it was a call from Huang An Yao.
This was a rare event; Huang An Yao seldom called Qin Huai. Qin Huai stopped what he was doing, quickly washed his hands, and answered the call.
"Hello."
"Qin Huai, I heard from my dad that Uncle Gong wants to sell all his shares in Huang Ji to you, is that true?"
"This matter..."
"Great, when are you coming to Gusu? Now you're the largest shareholder in Huang Ji, can you take over Huang Ji's management? I heard your head waiter at Yunzhong Restaurant used to be a head waiter at a high-end restaurant, would she be willing to come to Gusu too? We could have two head waiters at Huang Ji."
"When you come, you'll be the head pastry chef at Huang Ji. Are we expanding our pastry business? Should we hire more pastry chefs? Should we open new pastry stalls? Hey, in that case, shouldn't we remodel?"
Qin Huai hurriedly interrupted Huang An Yao's torrent of words: "Who said I'm going to Gusu?"
"Huh?" Huang An Yao was confused.
"I'm just taking over the shares in Huang Ji, but I'm not participating in Huang Ji's management. Like Mr. Gong before, I'm only taking dividends without interfering in other matters." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Huh?" Huang An Yao's dreams were shattered.
"Qin Huai, you should intervene."
"You're the largest shareholder in Huang Ji now, just intervene a bit. As long as you don't want to change Huang Ji to Qin's, you can intervene any way you want."
"If necessary, I can persuade my dad to sell you another 10% of the shares."
Qin Huai: ...
Young Master, get a grip.
You really sound like a prodigal son with those words.
