Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 842 - 420: [Delicious Egg Tarts]

"What? Xiao Qin, you didn’t practice any snacks at Zhiwei Restaurant a few days ago, and now you’re making egg tarts?"

"Are they tasty?"

"Not bad, Tan Wei’an ate three in a row, drank a bowl of tea, got chased away and came back to eat four more. I got it, I’ll book my ticket right now. How did you know I love egg tarts the most?"

"It’s not just buns, steamed buns, shumai... it’s all the same, I love egg tarts too. I’ve had enough to eat in Gusu recently. By the way, you were absolutely right last time. Zheng Da really can’t make snacks at Huang Ji for more than three days in a row. After you left, Zheng Da made snacks for two days and then rested, turning into working one day and resting the next. He came today, and I guess he won’t come tomorrow."

"How’s Zheng Da’s mood?"

"I can’t taste that. The Four Happiness Flower Rolls he made were quite delicious, exactly the same as the Four Seasons Flower Rolls you made. Many customers couldn’t tell the difference and didn’t realize you were gone."

"Oh, also, when I was chatting with Qu Jing these few days, Qu Jing said Luo Jun is a bit bored, probably because he finished watching his TV series and is going to the hospital every day to stir up trouble, scaring the other patients who cause trouble so much that they don’t dare cause trouble anymore."

"He also mentioned An Youyou, but I’m not very familiar with her, so I don’t remember what exactly was said. See when you have time, let’s have a video call meeting, it’s been a while since we saw Luo Jun and I really miss him. I tried video calling him, but he never picks up, and he doesn’t reply to messages either."

"I don’t have much time left and won’t live for many more days. Seeing him once is one less chance, sometimes I even think of buying a ticket back to see Old Luo. But I feel he probably doesn’t want to see me. Ah, Xiao Qin, you know, I really care about him. It’s not easy for them, the Fierce Beasts, to survive tribulations."

The above words are from the conversation between Shi Dadan and Qin Huai. This conversation ended with Shi Dadan’s sigh and gulping sounds.

Yes, Shi Dadan was eating while talking on the phone.

Dang Kang’s joy is so plain and simple.

That night, Shi Dadan made a sudden attack on Hangzhou with three suitcases, arriving at Qin Huai’s place at 8:37 PM.

To welcome Shi Dadan, Qin Huai specially packed 4 egg tarts by Master Zhou and 4 of his own egg tarts.

Considering Shi Dadan’s appetite, Qin Huai, who only ordered takeaway on the first day and wasn’t familiar with any good restaurants or takeout nearby, randomly ordered 8 takeout meals using the app to welcome Shi Dadan.

Eight takeout meals filled the table, which could be considered the highest honor.

Shi Dadan, acting on his instincts, chose to eat the cold egg tarts first instead of the hot takeout after putting down the suitcases.

Shi Dadan ate one of Master Zhou’s egg tarts, then ate one of Qin Huai’s egg tarts. After not a very difficult decision, Shi Dadan pointed at Qin Huai’s egg tart and said, "Xiao Qin, I think your egg tarts are also delicious!"

Qin Huai’s eyes were almost filled with tears upon hearing this. Although even Shi Dadan, who was so supportive, couldn’t say that his egg tarts were better than Master Zhou’s, for Shi Dadan to say this with both egg tarts in front of him...

This is something even Qin Luo and Ouyang couldn’t say with their eyes closed; they would just devour the egg tarts blindly.

"These egg tarts were baked around 5 PM, and now that they’ve been sitting, they don’t taste as good as when they were fresh out of the oven. Right now, I’m a guest master at Zhiwei Restaurant, so I can’t openly give you special treatment."

"How about this, tomorrow around 3 PM, you can go early to the takeout window at Zhiwei Restaurant and stand in line. Recently, it’s been spreading among the customers at Zhiwei Restaurant that every afternoon, Master Zhou releases a small batch of egg tarts he personally bakes. There’s a large crowd of customers lining up at that time to try their luck buying egg tarts. Just stand in line like usual."

"I’ll greet the people at the window and set some aside for you. When it’s your turn, they’ll move some of Master Zhou’s egg tarts over to you."

"Okay, okay." With a mouthful of egg tarts and nodding furiously, Shi Dadan’s face was brimming with joy.

"By the way, Xiao Qin, I forgot to ask during our call in the afternoon, weren’t you supposed to be learning the Cloud Pattern at Zhiwei Restaurant? How did it turn into learning egg tarts? Are you still learning the Cloud Pattern?"

"Is it because my side quest is too hard, and you couldn’t make the Four Happiness Rolls? Ah, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect I’d come up with such a difficult snack. Actually, I thought of many snacks, but your game system just chose the Four Happiness Rolls."

"Can it be changed now? If I say the snack I really want is not the Four Happiness Rolls but the egg tarts, will that work?"

Qin Huai didn’t expect Shi Dadan’s focus would be on this. To be honest, Qin Huai, as the true owner of the game system and the male lead of the system literature who owes a mountain of tasks, isn’t very concerned about these tasks at all.

The current tasks aren’t as urgent as before.

When Qin Huai was doing Qu Jing’s side quest, he was really urgent. At that time, Qu Jing’s mental state wasn’t good, and Luo Jun and Chen Huihong often mentioned it in front of Qin Huai, thinking that after a few more years, the grass on Qu Jing’s grave would be taller than Qin Huai.

That was probably when Qin Huai was most eager to complete a task, fearing that if he finished the side quest too late, Qu Jing might leave before waking up.

Now, Qin Huai takes these tasks much more easily because all these spirits are in pretty good condition, whether it’s Gong Liang, Wang Gen Sheng, or An Youyou. They’re all not in their last lifespan, and their status bars show them being positive and making progress, capable of awakening on their own.
