Since the Crab Yellow Sauce made by Zheng Siyuan later was not suitable for mixing with noodles and rice, Qin Huai had to urgently start the regular Crab Bun plan and used that batch of sauce to make a batch of Crab Buns.

The sudden appearance of Crab Buns delighted the customers at Yunzhong Restaurant as if it were the New Year.

No, even happier than during the New Year, because Yunzhong Restaurant is closed during the New Year, which isn't joyful at all.

If you want to know who was the happiest among them, it would naturally be Xu Tuqiang.

Not because Qin Huai made new snacks like Crab Shell Cake today, nor because of the sudden appearance of Crab Buns in the afternoon, nor because Yunzhong Restaurant suddenly recruited many snack masters, providing an endless supply of regular snacks from morning to night.

It was because Qin Huai specifically told Xu Tuqiang in the afternoon to remember to come to the restaurant tomorrow morning at around 7 o'clock because there would be sticky rice cake.

Sticky rice cake!

Xu Tuqiang took a fierce bite of the Crab Bun, feeling internally that the Crab Bun was truly delicious while being wildly joyful about finally being able to eat sticky rice cake tomorrow.

Xu Tuqiang glanced at the neighbors beside him who had evidently shifted their interest, abandoning crab sauce noodles to fall in love with Crab Buns.

Hmph, they fall in love with whatever they see, unlike me, my heart belongs forever to sticky rice cake!

Hehehe.

During dinner in the evening, Tan Wei'an worriedly asked Qin Huai whether, now that everyone had found the correct method to study the Crab Yellow Sauce and would likely succeed soon, they would stop making crab sauce noodles and crab sauce rice in the future.

Compared to Crab Buns, Tan Wei'an still preferred crab sauce rice.

Qin Huai comforted him: "We definitely won't stop making it completely. The recipes you provided for mixing rice and noodles are also worth studying, and Zheng Siyuan will surely research them, right, Zheng Siyuan?"

Zheng Siyuan, holding his meal, looked somewhat gloomy at the plum vegetable pork in his plate. Hearing Qin Huai mention him, he nodded: "Of course."

Zheng Siyuan understood what Qin Huai meant. Tan Wei'an provided recipes, so their meals needed to be appropriately managed. If Tan Wei'an wanted crab sauce rice, they'd make it for him; after all, it didn't take much time.

As for Uncle Wang and Ouyang over there... for them, there's no difference between tasting Crab Buns and crab sauce noodles; they love eating, whatever you give them, they'll eat.

Zheng Siyuan continued to look gloomily at the plum vegetable pork in front of him.

Qin Huai glanced at Zheng Siyuan's plate and was surprised to see he still scooped plum vegetable pork despite knowing it was salty, asking: "Do you love plum vegetable pork?"

Zheng Siyuan shook his head: "I just don't understand why someone would love such salty plum vegetable pork."

"Maybe it's because it's good with rice," Qin Huai said. "Actually, our restaurant's meat cooking master, apart from being a bit inconsistent with his skills, tends to make the plum vegetable pork a bit too salty. The skill isn't bad, but it's just at an average restaurant level."

"Compared to Huang Ji, of course, it's not comparable, but the nearby eateries have similar tastes. Otherwise, I wouldn't eat at our own restaurant every day. At least the food safety is guaranteed; everyone can see how the ingredients delivered daily are handled, emphasizing cleanliness and hygiene."

Zheng Siyuan could only continue looking gloomily at the plum vegetable pork, sighing for his work meal.

Qin Huai, seeing Zheng Siyuan's expression, naturally knew what he was lamenting about and looked at Tan Wei'an, asking seemingly unintentionally: "I met Zang Liang last time in City A, and he said you had a pretty good relationship."

"Of course," Tan Wei'an said. "We were the same age and in the same class in elementary school. Initially, Master Zang also worked in Hangzhou, but later he changed jobs to another restaurant, and then he transferred to another city to study."

Qin Huai suddenly understood; so they were classmates.

Before, he thought that Tan Wei'an and Zang Liang were about the same age, but didn't expect they were directly classmates.

"How's Zang Liang's cooking skill?" Qin Huai asked.

Tan Wei'an seriously considered for a moment.

"That depends on whom you're comparing him to." Faced with a good friend, Tan Wei'an's evaluation was very fair. "Their meat cooking is different from our pastry. When we were young, our pastry was the dish — except for you and Zheng Siyuan."

"But over on their meat side, if someone has a particularly good talent, they can achieve results in their teens and make a name for themselves by their twenties, being capable in their own right. Zang Liang is still a bit away from being fully capable, but he's also considered quite talented among the younger generation, especially his knife skills; they're truly top-notch."

"But if you say he's truly a genius, he doesn't quite match up. There's a more talented one in Beiping, Zhang Guanghang; I don't know if you've heard of him, but you know about Mr. Xia Mubing, ranked ninth in the Chef Record, right?"

Qin Huai nodded, indicating he'd heard of him. According to Dong Shi, Mr. Xia loved to scold people, well-known as Beiping's number one scold, with a high rank, solid skills, feared by all.

"Zhang Guanghang is Master Xia's apprentice, his only apprentice, and that's truly... even more like Zheng Siyuan than you."

Qin Huai: ...

Bro, your expression has a bit of flair.

"Of course, Zang Liang can't be compared to divine figures like Zhang Guanghang, and he's probably a bit inferior to Sun Jikai of FJ, not because his skill is worse, mainly because Sun Jikai is younger than him, but this is hard to say."

"I don't know if that Sun guy's brain was kicked by a donkey or what; for no reason, he decided to study abroad, going to some business school. In our line of work, who studies abroad? No matter how high the degree, if the cooking sucks, it's useless, isn't it a waste of time?"

"Let me think about who else might be stronger than him..."
