CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 306: DID YOU GO TO CITY A TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE GREEN BEAN CAKE? (2)

Yunzhong Restaurant has launched snacks for kids again?

Xu Tuqiang was quite puzzled.

He knew how popular the radish cake was among kids. In his own family, his grandson couldn’t wait to sit in Yunzhong Restaurant and call An Youyou "Lady Radish Cake" every weekend.

It was only because Qin Huai went to City A for an event in the recent days, and Li Hua took over the radish cake seasoning duties, so the taste of An Youyou’s radish cake wasn’t as good and thus not as popular as before.

Noticing Xu Tuqiang craning his neck to look out the window, Grandma Ding curiously glanced over and asked, "Do you like Green Bean Cake?"

Being a former kindergarten principal, Grandma Ding immediately recognized the small pastry on the counter as Green Bean Cake.

"I think it’s got to be made by Master Qin," Xu Tuqiang calmly analyzed.

In Yunzhong Restaurant, you can see the kitchen through the window directly, but that doesn’t mean you can see every movement in there clearly.

Typically, Qin Huai’s area for kneading dough was closer to the window, so the elders could watch comfortably. However, the cooktop for stir-frying dishes was far from the window. Unless someone stretched their neck and stared hard at the window, it was difficult to tell which dish was being cooked.

The seniors who jog every morning have long passed the stage of awkwardly craning their necks to watch from the window. Now they just sit in the restaurant chatting and waiting for snacks every day.

Upon hearing Xu Tuqiang’s analysis, Grandma Ding was a bit surprised and whispered, "Why do you think that?"

Xu Tuqiang whispered back, "I just saw Xiao Huang sneaking a bite."

"It’s normal for Xiao Pei and Xiao Li to sneak some leftover snacks in the afternoon if they haven’t sold out, but Xiao Huang sneaking a bite at this hour means this snack must be really tasty. It’s highly likely that Master Qin made it," Xu Tuqiang calmly analyzed.

Grandma Ding agreed, whispering in amazement, "Impressive, Xiao Xu, you’ve learned to analyze."

Xu Tuqiang replied smugly, "Of course, did you think I stopped thinking after retirement?"

Not far away, overhearing their conversation clearly, Huang Xi: ...

Huang Xi: Mr. Xu, Grandma Ding, you two don’t need to whisper. With your voices and hearing, even if you keep it down, we younger people can still hear you clearly.

Huang Xi put on a professional smile, took a deep breath, straightened her back, and walked quickly over to Xu Tuqiang and Grandma Ding, speaking softly:

"We have a new Green Bean Cake today. Master Qin specifically improved the recipe. Small portion 10 yuan, large portion 15 yuan. Feel free to try if you’re interested."

As soon as Huang Xi finished speaking, everyone moved.

The elders quickly lined up to buy, as if it was muscle memory, regardless of whether they liked Green Bean Cake or not, everyone loved it at that moment.

Master Qin specially improved the recipe for the Green Bean Cake. Delicious, super delicious!

Soon, the jogging elders each had a plate of Green Bean Cake, enjoying it with hot tea.

Xu Tuqiang took a small bite of the Green Bean Cake, didn’t chew, but let it dissolve in his mouth, savoring the dense and smooth texture. Once it melted enough, he took a sip of hot tea.

"This is life!" Xu Tuqiang exclaimed, "I kept feeling like something was missing during my tea breaks in the morning and afternoon. It turns out it was the Green Bean Cake. Master Qin is simply too considerate!"

Everyone: ?!

When did Mr. Xu get so good at flattery?

Dammit, lost to him.

Soon, Yunzhong Restaurant launched its new Green Bean Cake. Unlike the past, this new item had been completely redesigned, with Master Qin meticulously improving the recipe over a long period, significantly enhancing its flavor, texture, and appearance. The news spread quickly within the Yunzhong Restaurant patrons.

As for why news from Yunzhong Restaurant always spreads so quickly among the customers...

Probably because there are plenty of group chats and informal circles where people connect and share information.

The elders also loved taking photos. Skill level didn’t matter—composition didn’t matter—photoshopping didn’t matter—as long as the snacks were real.

Poor skills only serve to highlight the deliciousness of the snacks.

What? You wonder how they can tell the snacks are delicious from a photo?

Don’t worry, they just can.

Almost at precisely 12 o’clock, Yunzhong Restaurant was packed with office workers coming for lunch and buying Green Bean Cake.

Some even took 5-minute leave to arrive early, showcasing an impressive spirit for meals.

Whether they had regular fast food or Four Happiness glutinous rice, there was always a portion of Green Bean Cake on their trays. The Green Bean Cake was small, melted in the mouth, sweet but not greasy. Four pieces weren’t enough; six were just right.

And it’s cheap.

At Yunzhong Restaurant, ten yuan wouldn’t even buy you one Four Happiness glutinous rice, but it could get you four pieces of such delightful Green Bean Cake, undoubtedly the best value for money.

This cost-effectiveness even attracted some office workers who originally weren’t interested in Green Bean Cake and had planned to order other takeout; they specifically came to buy some Green Bean Cake to take back to the office.

Qin Huai’s sales policy for Green Bean Cake was to sell in large quantities and satisfy everyone.

Each day, 333 jin of Green Bean Cake were sold, without any purchase limits; buy as much as you want. Anyway, it couldn’t be stored for long. Once you bought it, you’d know that Green Bean Cake was best enjoyed the same day.

Zheng Siyuan arrived at Yunzhong Restaurant at 1 p.m.

Casually dressed, full of energy, and wearing a leisure shirt with a jacket, it was very convenient for him to switch to work clothes at any time.

When Zheng Siyuan arrived at the restaurant, the final batch of office workers was queuing up to buy take-away Green Bean Cakes.
