Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1131 - 545: Order Confirmation_2

"And the several types of dumplings I'm currently practicing on, there's not much problem with their taste, just some issues with their appearance."

"I don't know if you can understand what I mean, Planner Zhou. What I'm trying to express is that the practice batch of dumplings isn't suitable for discounted sale."

Upon hearing Qin Huai's explanation, Zhou Hu instantly got it and agreed, "I think I understand. Master Qin, what you're saying is, the dumplings you're practicing on are flawed versions, but these flaws don't affect their use. Discounting them might affect future sales."

"Is that what you mean?"

Qin Huai nodded with a smile.

"I originally wanted to ask Sister Hong to buy my practice batch of dumplings. Sister Hong and her brother own many property companies and large supermarkets. These flawed dumplings might not be suitable for sending to property owners, but they could be good as employee benefits or simply as an afternoon snack for employees."

"But I just heard Planner Zhou mention you wanted a batch of such snacks to bring back old customers and thought you might need it more than Sister Hong."

"Regarding the price, I will definitely give you the cheapest cost price, but the quantity won't be much. Normally, these dumplings can be kept for a while without really affecting their taste, as they are not the type of snacks that need to be eaten hot."

"I only have one request: please do not disclose that these snacks were made by me."

With Qin Huai's explanation, Zhou Hu, who was originally determined to refuse, began to hesitate. He realized that Qin Huai wasn't trying to sell to him, but rather offering a batch of good and cheap flawed products because of their good relationship, allowing him to get a good deal.

Zhou Hu was still a bit hesitant.

He couldn't understand why Qin Huai would let him take advantage of this. After all, he and Qin Huai had a typical client-service provider relationship, where technically Qin Huai was the client. It should be him, the service provider, who would serve the client and offer gifts, but the situation seemed reversed now.

Of course, Zhou Hu didn't believe Qin Huai was a bad person. He'd heard a bit about Qin Huai's wealth and thought that someone so well-off wouldn't need to scam someone like him, who had little. But Zhou Hu had been in business for years and had met all kinds of people, so it was only natural for him to be a little cautious.

Qin Huai noticed Zhou Hu's hesitation.

Qin Huai knew that Zhou Hu was starting to hesitate about this, meaning that he was almost certain of completing his side mission.

In such situations, one shouldn't push forward but rather take a step back.

Qin Huai smiled and got up, "Planner Zhou, you can think about it. If you don't trust my skills, Ouyang will be delivering meals to you in the next few days. The food he brings will be snacks I made. If I have time to make dumplings in the afternoon, I'll send a few samples over so you can check the quality."

"I really feel bad about the roller coaster incident yesterday. I was so occupied with my own thoughts that I didn't pay much attention to your condition. You even threw up so badly and still accompanied me on the roller coaster, ending up in the hospital."

"I also want to do what I can to compensate you. I originally wanted Ouyang to bring you more delicious snacks, but since you have gastritis and need to eat light, you can't overeat. I can't have you eating too much in a short time. Given that your place is far from Yunzhong District, unless for work, you wouldn't specifically come to Yunzhong Restaurant to eat snacks."

"I promised you yesterday that I will have Mr. Xu arrange to get into the kitchen over the next few days. Once you're fully recovered and discharged, if there's a chance, you can come to Yunzhong Restaurant and I'll arrange for you to eat in the kitchen."

"I have a little something to handle now, so I won't stay too long. I'll take my leave first."

Seeing Qin Huai about to leave, Zhao Cheng'an hurriedly called out, "Qin Huai, what are we having for breakfast tomorrow? Around what time will Ouyang arrive to deliver the meal? I can't get up too early, can you deliver after 8 o'clock?"

Qin Huai: "…What are you thinking? They do rounds in the hospital before 7 in the morning, and you want to sleep until 8?"

Zhao Cheng'an, who had never been hospitalized before: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)

After Qin Huai left, he sent a message to Zhao Cheng'an on WeChat, telling him to cherish the opportunity to be in the same ward as Zhou Hu, to chat more and gather information. Given Zhao Cheng'an's not-so-great mental state, Zhou Hu would soon discover that there are many companions in the world who share similar conditions.

Zhao Cheng'an replied to Qin Huai with a crying emoji, asking if he could be discharged immediately because he didn't want to get up so early in the morning.

Qin Huai: Don't even think about it. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

.

On the morning of the third day, Qin Huai made shepherd's purse dumplings.

Master Qin completely forgot about the potato dumplings.

Ouyang and others unanimously agreed that the shepherd's purse dumplings with pickled mustard greens tasted much better than the fresh meat dumplings. Thoughtful Ouyang considered that since it was Zhou Hu's third day in the hospital, he should be able to eat a little more, and initially planned to pack six bowls of dumplings to bring to the hospital, but was stopped by Qin Huai.

Qin Huai feared that if the six bowls of dumplings were brought over, only one bowl would end up in Zhou Hu's stomach, and the remaining five bowls would all be eaten by Zhao Cheng'an.

This morning, Zhang Guanghang sent a message to Qin Huai asking what was up with Zhao Cheng'an, wondering why he was still messaging his master, Xia Mubing, for a chat at 3 a.m. The subtext was resentful enough about the financial situation, let alone endangering lives. Zhang Guanghang even politely hinted that if Xia Mubing hadn't stopped him, he would have already booked a flight to Shan City to confront Zhao Cheng'an.

Qin Huai immediately assured him, saying he would definitely keep Zhao Cheng'an in check, only scheming for money but not for harm, and even hoped that Zhao Cheng'an would aim for less financial gain and not make up for that broken warehouse, considering how much money he has already conned from his senior brothers while still working through special express lanes.
