Due to Zhao Cheng'an's leave of absence, Qin Huai's speed in increasing his skill level was even faster the next day.
How should I put it? No one to chat with ans higher efficiency.
Although Zhao Cheng'an had been in a half-alive crazy state for the past few days, even in craziness he had to chat a bit occasionally. The day Zhao Cheng'an focuses solely on making snacks without saying a word would be the day he's truly lost it.
Qin Huai happily spent the day improving his skill level.
On the third day, Zhao Cheng'an returned from his vacation, and possibly due to the good mood from his holiday, Zhao Cheng'an broke the record for the earliest arrival at work, clocking in at 6:17 in the morning.
"Qin Huai, did you miss a lot yesterday when you didn't see ? Did you find making snacks particularly boring without soone to chat with? Let tell you, I actually tried to help you, asked if Tan Wei'an could be transferred here for a day. My master didn't agree and even scolded . Tan Wei'an also didn't agree, saying he was afraid he'd get scolded to death by my master if transferred." Zhao Cheng'an had a look that said, "See, buddy, I am still looking out for you."
Qin Huai, who was making pine nut dumplings, said lightly, "Not at all."
"Yesterday, without you, my skill level improved a lot. When is your next vacation?"
Zhao Cheng'an: ?
Brother, I misjudged the situation.
Qin Huai's pleasant skill leveling continued until June 27th. It wasn't that skill leveling wasn't enjoyable on June 27th itself, nor that there was an issue with Zhiwei Restaurant, leaving Qin Huai without a place to practice, much less that Zheng Siyuan over at Yunzhong Restaurant couldn't keep up with the demand for snacks from the aunties and uncles, who were planning to group-buy houses in Hangzhou.
It was because Shi Dadan's two kids had finished their final exams.
Yes, although many have forgotten, our Dang Kang also has a happy family life, with two children who are as allergic to studying as he is.
As a good father who passed down the allergy to studying to his children, Dang Kang could use business trips as an excuse during the school year, but now that the kids' studies have finished, Dang Kang must return to Guangdong Province.
When the kids' results co out, his wife will scold him along with them.
Shi Dadan booked a flight back for June 28th and didn't plan to bring any luggage. He didn't bring much when he ca, as most things were bought locally, and he certainly didn't plan to bring much ho; bringing too much would make it seem like his business trip has been too comfortable, which isn't good for family harmony.
Since Shi Dadan was leaving on the 28th, on the 27th, Qin Huai took a special day off to stay ho and make snacks for Shi Dadan.
He made raw pastries for Shi Dadan to take back to Guangdong Province and freeze, and sent so to Cao Guixiang too. Qin Huai had been so engrossed in improving his skill level lately that he hadn't video-called Cao Guixiang, only communicating occasionally via WeChat.
Cao Guixiang was very supportive of Qin Huai's self-developed culinary path, even more supportive than Master Zhou.
Perhaps because Cao Guixiang was also a prodigious talent in the at cooking world, top geniuses always appreciate each other and can understand one another.
The first ti Cao Guixiang heard Qin Huai's ambitious claim to beco the textbook's textbook, her first reaction was to laugh out loud, then she told Qin Huai that her first small goal when she studied cooking was to surpass her senior brother, then her master, and finally step over her master.
Back then, Cao Guixiang's master was also the top at cooking expert of his ti.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Cao Guixiang didn't even get to surpass her senior brother before special circumstances sent her to the countryside as an educated youth. After leaving Beiping, she never returned. Thinking of the bold declarations of her youth now, Cao Guixiang can only smile, then tell Qin Huai that he's lucky to have caught a good ti, and soday he will surely beco the textbook's textbook.
Qin Huai rarely took a day off to make snacks at ho, and only Shi Dadan was there, leaning by the kitchen, munching an apple while watching Qin Huai make snacks, creating a very leisurely atmosphere that made Qin Huai feel like he was back at Yunzhong Restaurant.
With the atmosphere so relaxed, Qin Huai simply took the wooden phone stand Zhang Chu made for him out of his suitcase, set it on the kitchen counter, and had a video call with Cao Guixiang from afar.
Cao Guixiang was watching TV at ho, with Zhang Chu sitting next to her, cracking sunflower seeds.
"Master, have Zhang Zhiyun and Qingqing started their vacation yet?" Qin Huai was well aware that when chatting with elders, one should start with the kids, so his first question was about the two schoolchildren.
"Not yet, their finals are on July 6th, and they have to test for two days, so they won't be on vacation until the 8th. Even though there are still 10 days until the holiday, Yunyun has already started ordering dishes, one minute wanting braised prawns, the next tea tree mushroom old duck soup, even oyster sauce abalone. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was confident about getting first in the grade this ti to show ." Cao Guixiang laughed heartily, her tone full of pride in her grandchildren's good studies.
"Qingqing is about the sa, asking for braised shark fin and Wanfu at. I'm starting to suspect these two kids planned it together, ordering dishes without repeating any."
Faced with this kind of conversation about kids' studies, Shi Dadan dared not say a word.
Shi Dadan said nothing, so naturally, Cao Guixiang brought him into the conversation. Leaning by the kitchen door, his phone's angle perfectly showing him, Cao Guixiang laughed while watching the screen and asked: "Old Shi, you've been gone two to three months, right?"
"First Shan City, then Gusu, now Hangzhou, why aren't you back yet? Seems like you've gained so weight. Last week, when Old Zhang from my family went to the market, he bumped into your wife there. She told our Old Zhang that she doesn't know what project you're investigating that takes so long, and she suspects you've been duped."
