Chapter 305 Pricing
Qin Huai sent a message to Chen Gong after watching the video tutorial for the first time to inform him of what he needed to prepare for the next day. As a result, after sending the message, he watched the video tutorial over and over again, stayed up all night, and got up late.

When Qin Huai woke up the next day and saw the time, his first reaction was that it was a good thing that the flight was changed to the evening, otherwise he would have missed the flight this morning.

Chen Gong found a parent-child kitchen for Qin Huai that was very close to the hotel. Qin Huai had been to the parent-child kitchen before and was very familiar with it. The parent-child cooking activity at Chen Huihui’s school was held in the parent-child kitchen before, and Qin Huai’s first branch mission was also completed in the parent-child kitchen.

Chen Gong was very wealthy and reserved the venue for Qinhuai. Of course, it is also possible that the wealthy one was Mr. Han Guishan. Because when Qinhuai steamed the mung beans and mashed them into paste, Han Guishan and Wang Jing arrived.

According to Han Guishan, he and Wang Jing happened to be doing some work nearby, and they remembered that Qin Huai was going to make mung bean cakes here today, so they stopped by to take a look.

Qin Huai smiled tactfully to express his understanding. Mr. Han was really busy with all kinds of things. He even remembered where he was making mung bean cakes after work.

Han Guishan and Wang Jing each moved a small chair and sat away from the kitchen counter, waiting for food obediently.

Qin Huai couldn’t help but sigh that this couple was really good at managing time.

The process of making mung bean cake is not difficult, and can even be said to be very simple. Qinhuai’s method of soaking peeled mung beans for 6 hours before steaming and mashing them into paste is already a very complicated ancient method of making mung bean cake. Ordinary people can just buy ready-made mung bean powder if they want to make mung bean cake at home, and the complicated and time-consuming steps above can be omitted.

After the mung beans are mashed, they need to be fried. Add an appropriate amount of butter to the pan and melt it. Use butter to fry the mung bean paste. From the perspective of ingredient matching, butter has its own milky flavor and is more suitable for making mung bean cakes than traditional vegetable oil.

From the perspective of the times, using butter to fry mung bean cakes was definitely a very novel method of that era.

Qin Huai is stir-frying the mung bean paste very carefully. When the melted butter has been fully integrated into the mung bean paste and begins to emit the fragrance of mung bean cake, he adds sugar.

The aroma in the kitchen became stronger and stronger, and the fresh fragrance of the mung bean cake began to be mixed with a sweet scent. Han Guishan couldn’t help but want to smack his lips just by smelling the fragrance.

He and Wang Jing really happened to be nearby, and they thought Qin Huai was making mung bean cakes here so they came over to take a look.

Of course, it would be even better if you could have a couple of bites.

Han Guishan is not really interested in mung bean cakes, but his wife Wang Jing likes them. Wang Jing likes to eat mung bean cakes that are not so sweet, and she especially likes to put the mung bean cakes bought from outside in the refrigerator for a few hours.

In Wang Jing’s words, the icy and cool mung bean cake tastes better, with a crunchy feeling that melts on the tip of the tongue, giving a feeling of eating ice cream.

Han Guishan didn’t understand.

He felt that the mung bean cakes Wang Jing bought were all small pieces, and they would break if he pinched them with two fingers. There was nothing special about them except that they tasted fresh and had the flavor of mung bean. Admittedly, the cold mung bean cakes tasted a little better than ordinary mung bean cakes, but only a little.

Not to mention that the mung bean cakes that Wang Jing likes are not very sweet and taste bland. When I open the refrigerator door at home and see two pieces, they are good to eat casually, but if I really eat them as a serious snack, they seem very bland and uninteresting.

But now Han Guishan understood a little.

It smells so good! This rich mung bean aroma smells so good!

It smells delicious!
“Jingjing, is this mung bean cake as delicious as egg tarts when it is freshly baked? So this mung bean cake cannot be put in the refrigerator and eaten cold, it must be eaten when it is still hot out of the pan.” Han Guishan asked.

This question stumped Wang Jing.

Wang Jing was just a waitress in a state-owned restaurant back then. She was mainly responsible for serving food but not cooking. The state-owned restaurant where she worked did not sell many snacks. At most, they sold steamed buns and steamed buns. Wang Jing had no idea how mung bean cake was made.

Wang Jing was led astray by Han Guishan.

“So that’s how it is.” Wang Jing suddenly realized, “It seems that mung bean cakes can’t be put in the refrigerator in the future. We have to eat them right out of the pot.”

The couple both understood and sat on the small stools continuing to wait for their food, staring intently at the mung bean paste still being stir-fried in the pot.

Qin Huai, who was frying green bean paste: …

Are Mr. and Mrs. Han…hungry?
That shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t I prepare a lot of dough for Four Happiness Rice Dumplings, Three-Ding Buns, and Rice-Wine Steamed Buns yesterday? Could it be that I was too busy at work to have time for breakfast?
It must be like this. As expected, people whose surnames end with “Zong” cannot have an easy time.

After the mung bean paste is stir-fried, it needs to be shaped using a mold and then pressed out of the mold.

Because butter is added during the frying process, the food can be easily demoulded without the need for additional oil on the mold.

There are prepared molds in the parent-child kitchen, and Qin Huai goes to get the molds.

Seeing that Qin Huai had already taken the mold, Han Guishan couldn’t sit still anymore. After hesitating for a moment, he went straight forward and said, “Master Qin, can we eat this mung bean cake while it’s hot?”

Qin Huai:?
Eat mung bean cake while hot?

Such niche text, such unfamiliar words.

Qin Huai was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Han Guishan really wanted to eat it, he thought of Han Guishan’s usual eating style and felt that Mr. Han was not the kind of person who would stick to the shape. He nodded: “Theoretically, it’s possible, but mung bean cakes usually have to be removed from the mold before eating.”

“I recommend putting it in the refrigerator for a while after demoulding, so it tastes better.”

If you eat it directly, what you are eating is not mung bean cake, but pure mung bean paste.

Han Guishan was stunned: “Isn’t mung bean cake eaten while it’s hot?”

Qin Huai: “…If you like, you can eat it while it’s hot, but be careful, the temperature of the freshly fried mung bean paste is still quite high.”

Seeing that Han Guishan was still in a daze, Qin Huai simply found two small plates and served one to Han Guishan and one to Wang Jing. When serving, he deliberately spread the mung bean paste to prevent it from losing heat.

Han Guishan brought back two plates of mung bean paste and started eating with Wang Jing.

“Jingjing, Master Qin said that the freshly fried mung bean paste is quite hot, so we should be careful when eating it. And Master Qin just said that the mung bean cake should be icy…”

Wang Jing ignored her husband and started eating. She ate with gusto and praised the food repeatedly.

“Well, although it’s a little hot, the taste… the rich taste of mung beans, the delicate and crunchy texture, the warm feeling in the mouth, this is the mung bean cake I want to eat, not sweet but not bland, not bland but sweet, and at the same time with a strong mung bean flavor!”

Han Guishan silently swallowed the rest of his words and began to eat voraciously.

Just one bite.

Han Guishan:!

Mung bean cake is so delicious!
I eat, eat, eat!

When Chen Gong arrived at the parent-child kitchen, this was the scene he saw.

His beloved Mr. Han Guishan was concentrating on eating a plate of green, muddy, unknown substance.

His respected boss, Wang Jing, was elegantly and slowly chewing a plate of green, muddy, unknown substance.

Master Qin Huai, who helped him wake up and is now his best friend in the true sense, was stirring the mung bean paste in the wok with a speechless look on his face, and from time to time he looked at Han Guishan and Wang Jing with eyes full of question marks.

Wait, stir-fried mung bean paste.

Could it be that what Mr. Han and Mr. Wang were eating was mung bean paste that had not yet been shaped?

Why don’t they eat the mung bean cakes that have already been shaped in the mold?
Chen Gong also had some questions in his mind, but he didn’t show it on his face.

Han Guishan was very happy to see Chen Gong coming. He moved a chair for Chen Gong to sit on and told him that the freshly fried mung bean paste was very fragrant and he must try it. He and Wang Jing had already tried several plates.

Chen Gong: …

Since waking up, Chen Gong’s loyalty to Han Guishan has not diminished, but his filter is not that deep.

Chen Gong quietly went over to get the plate and chatted with Qin Huai in a low voice.

“Boss Han is actually very hardworking at work…” Chen Gong wanted to explain a few words for Boss Han.

“I just suspected that Mr. Han might be a goblin who loves to eat.” Qin Huai said expressionlessly, “So I asked Mr. Han a question.”

“what?”

“I asked him if he had any other wishes.”

“I know this is a bit abrupt, but I also know that Mr. Han is a sentimental person and he is not likely to catch other people’s language problems in daily life, so I hesitated but still asked.”

“And then?” Chen Gong was curious. “Boss Han said he wanted another plate.”

Chen Gong: …

Chen Gong thought about it and could only continue to explain: “Boss Han is like this… he doesn’t care about small matters. He actually has a very good personality. Many business partners think that Boss Han is straightforward, generous, and doesn’t play tricks, and are willing to cooperate with him. In addition, Boss Han has strong business capabilities and will not have any problems at work. That’s why Haoweidao has been able to grow bigger and stronger over the years.”

Qin Huai sighed: “I know, and I admit that Mr. Han is a very good person.”

“I’m just a little disappointed that he’s not a goblin. If he were a goblin, his mission would be much easier to accomplish.”

Chen Gong smiled: “I don’t think you need to be bound by the mission, Master Qin.”

“Not all games need to be completed perfectly, and not all 12 illustrated books need to be collected. Everyone’s life is their own choice, and every monster’s failure is also their own choice. You don’t need to feel burdened.”

“Even if one day you really encounter a spirit like Mr. Luo who you cannot help, the situation of this spirit may be worse than Mr. Luo’s. He has reached the end of his last life and is destined to fail. That is his own choice and you cannot blame him.”

“Don’t have too much psychological burden.”

“I know.” Qin Huai nodded, “Chen Huihong and Qu Jing also mentioned this to me.”

As he spoke, a pot of hot mung bean paste came out of the pot.

Qin Huai took the plate from Chen Gong’s hand and served him another one: “It’s very hot now, eat it later.”

“Although I don’t understand why Mr. Han and Mr. Wang both want to eat what’s just out of the wok, but I just took a bite.”

“It’s actually okay.”

“But for the rest of the mung bean cakes that have been molded into shapes, I suggest you keep them in the refrigerator. They taste better when eaten cold.”

“By the way, where did you get this batch of mung beans? The quality is really good. Can you get some for me and send it to Shan City?”

Chen Gong smiled and said, “Of course, Master Qin, if you need anything, I can help you contact them and provide them in large quantities.”

“Peeled mung beans, make sure every mung bean is peeled cleanly.”
.
Qin Huai spent the afternoon in the parent-child kitchen making B-grade mung bean cakes and cut radishes for half an hour. Since Chen Gong prepared a lot of ingredients, the mung beans were not finished until Qin Huai left the kitchen.

But they will not be wasted. According to Chen Gong, the remaining mung beans will become the mung bean soup in the company cafeteria tomorrow at noon.

By the way, the quality of the mung bean cakes made by Qin Huai in the afternoon will only be shown when they are demoulded and become real mung bean cakes. The mung bean paste that has just been fried will not show its quality.

Obviously, the game system does not recognize the fried mung bean paste as mung bean cake.

However, the impact was not significant. Qin Huai did not have the ability to make A-grade mung bean cakes. He worked on them for the entire afternoon and the only ones he made were B-grade, not even B+. Without the buff, it made no difference whether he ate mung bean cakes or mung bean paste.

Han Guishan and Wang Jing are not lacking in confidence either.

As the flight was rescheduled to the evening, it was already after midnight when Qinhuai landed in Shanshi.

Master Xiao Qin, who was on a two-day business trip, returned like lightning.

The person who picked him up at the airport was still Master Xiao Qin’s good brother Ouyang.

But this time Ouyang left late and was still on the road, so Qin Huai had to wait for Ouyang at the airport with his luggage.

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Qin Huai simply checked the main task.

The current progress of completing the main tasks is very encouraging.

The task requires that there be 5 dishes with a daily praise rate of no less than 98%, and at least 1000 guests think that this is the best dish they have ever eaten. Qinhuai has completed four of them so far.

Tangerine peel tea, fermented glutinous rice steamed buns, premium three-piece buns and four-happiness dumplings.

Originally, Qin Huai planned to choose between longevity noodles and apple noodles to complete the task.

Now he plans to get a new one.

Replace it with mung bean cake.

Qin Huai discovered from the process of making mung bean cake in the afternoon that although he felt that his process of making mung bean cake had not changed much, and he did not learn any tips, advanced experience and outstanding skills from the video teaching of Question Mark, the mung bean cake he made was indeed more delicious than before.

To be exact, it tastes better.

Mung bean cake is a very common, ordinary and cheap snack. Its cost, difficulty in making and the quantity of food it produces mean that its price cannot be high.

Qin Huai is not exaggerating. Although the recipe says 666 servings a day, each serving is no more than half a pound, 333 pounds a day sounds like a lot. But in reality, Qin Huai making 333 pounds of mung bean cake a day is definitely a piece of cake.

Because mung bean cake is really simple to make and it really sells well.

It is more suitable for this task than longevity noodles and apple noodles because it is more popular and cheaper.

If each portion of mung bean cake weighs 100 grams and is sold for 50 yuan, no matter how delicate and beautiful it is, or even if it is a B-grade mung bean cake, it is just delicious.

If it’s selling for 30 per serving, it’s delicious.

20 is God.

15 is God among gods.

If you cut corners a little and replace 100 grams with 80 grams or 60 grams, the same thing will happen.

Qinhuai does not plan to sell mung bean cakes at a very high price, and will only charge 80 to 15 yuan per 20 grams.

Yunzhong Canteen already has very profitable dim sum, so Qin Huai doesn’t need to price the mung bean cake, which is already very cheap, as an expensive dim sum. Even if this mung bean cake is grade B, even if he can easily beat 99.9% of the mung bean cakes on the market.

In Qin Luo’s childhood, mung bean cake was a delicious and affordable snack that could be bought at the school gate at any time by simply taking two dollars out of his pocket.

Two pieces of mung bean cakes can put Qin Luo in a good mood after a day of school, and he can skip and jump home to do his homework.

Qin Huai thinks that Yunzhong Canteen can also use two pieces of mung bean cakes to put office workers in a good mood after a day of work, so that they can hum a song while walking on the subway and playing with their mobile phones on the way home.

While thinking this, Ouyang arrived.

“Qin Huai, Qin Huai! What are you thinking about here?” Ouyang waved at Qin Huai frantically.

“Think about the pricing of dim sum.” Qin Huai said.

“You’ve learned new dim sum again?” Ouyang was shocked. “Aren’t you on a business trip preparing birthday banquets for others? Where do you find the time to learn new dim sum?!”

“An old snack, mung bean cake.”

“I plan to put it on the permanent menu tomorrow, so come over when you’re free. How’s your lemon tea business going?”

“Is there any need to ask? The place is packed with guests. Do you see the muscle lines on his arms? They are all made by mixing drinks! He doesn’t even need to go to the gym.”

“…You can mix drinks to create muscle lines?”

“Well, I did go to the gym to work out a little bit.”

“I can’t help it. The drink tastes so good that I can’t help but drink a few sips. I gained 6 kilograms in just one week.”

Qin Huai:……

No buddy, are you drinking secretly even though you run a milk tea shop?

As expected of you.
