Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle

However, the Crab Yellow Sauce required for the Double Crab Bun might not need such high-quality ingredients. Qin Huai decided to take a little to mix with noodles first.

Tonight, the staff meal at Yunzhong Restaurant will definitely be Crab Yellow Sauce with noodles!

This Crab Yellow Sauce is really delicious. When Qin Huai tasted it in the afternoon, not only did he not get tired of it, but he became even more tempted, wishing he could immediately stretch a bowl of noodles, cook it, and mix it with the sauce.

The second category is of middle quality, with no issue in raw materials, but to reduce costs, some unnecessary items such as crab meat, fish, or chicken were more or less added to it. They try to cover the taste with a lot of seasonings, letting these low-cost ingredients blend in, but they can't fool Qin Huai's tongue.

This category is the one Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan are most optimistic about. They have enough ingredients, with strong flavor, and although it's not the pure Crab Yellow Sauce in terms of ingredients, the taste isn't bad.

The third category is purely trash. The most outrageous one, Qin Huai thinks, contains less than 5% crab yellow. While it's not entirely all science and tough work, the starch content is at least over 40%. The flavor is patched up with various additives, and while it's rich, it's also ridiculous. Using it for Double Crab Buns might just upset Xu Nuo, who loves them.

"Which ones have you chosen now?" Zheng Siyuan asked Qin Huai.

Qin Huai pointed to four from the second category and one from the first category. Zheng Siyuan followed Qin Huai's direction to look at the Crab Yellow Sauce, without paying too much attention to the second category. He also had his eyes on those four.

His attention was focused on the first category.

This is the highest quality, best-constructed, and most expensive option among all the Crab Yellow Sauce that Zheng Siyuan brought, provided by a supplier with Huang Ji.

The raw materials are very clean, adding only the basic necessary ingredients for making Crab Yellow Sauce, with a very pure taste. The only problem is that the raw materials are too clean, which results in the sauce having a slight fishy crab smell.

"Did you choose this because it's best for secondary processing?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

"Not really," Qin Huai said. "I just think this sauce is pretty good, worthy of the Double Crab Bun."

"It's just a feeling. I think processing this sauce would not only make the Double Crab Buns taste good but also work well for Crab Yellow Sauce noodles. Did you get a lot? Do you have some at home? If not, I'll just use this jar for making Crab Yellow Sauce noodles tonight."

Zheng Siyuan: "Use as much as you like, plenty to go around."

Qin Huai happily went to knead the dough, glancing at the time and realizing Qin Luo was already out of school. Before kneading, he didn't forget to send messages to Qin Luo, Ouyang, and the family group.

Qin Luo replied instantly, and it was a voice message.

Qin Huai tapped it open right away.

"Wow, Crab Yellow Sauce noodles! Brother, I love you so much! How did you know I've been craving this lately! I'm on the bus right now, I'll be at the restaurant in 20 minutes. Wait for me, I want to eat five bowls!"

Qin Huai also quickly replied with a voice message.

"Wasn't your phone with Mom? And didn't they confiscate your smartwatch too? Where did the phone come from?"

Beside him, Zheng Siyuan, who was busy stir-frying Crab Yellow Sauce: ...

Zheng Siyuan took a deep look at Qin Huai: "You really..."

Qin Huai smiled slightly: "It's just a brother's self-cultivation."

In the end, when everyone gathered in the kitchen, each with a bowl of Crab Yellow Sauce noodles, only Qin Luo grew more and more sorrowful as she ate, almost shedding tears in her bowl.

The phone she secretly bought was confiscated again, and so was her unspent New Year's money, which would be returned after summer vacation.

Qin Luo sniffed, stuffing a big mouthful of noodles into her mouth as if seeking revenge, her cheeks puffing up.

"Brother, is there more noodles? I want to eat seven bowls today!"

Qin Huai & Qin Congwen & Zhao Rong: ...

"Who does this child take after?" Zhao Rong asked, bewildered.

"Yeah." Qin Congwen was also puzzled, "Whose appetite does she have? I wasn't this big an eater in my younger days!"

Zhao Rong: ...

Zhao Rong, finding the answer, glared at her husband before bowing her head to eat.

At this moment, someone might wonder, who are the people eating?

Answer: Luo Jun, Chen Huihong, Chen Huixi, Ouyang, Wang Gen Sheng, Zheng Siyuan, and Qin Huai's family.

Qu Jing is working the night shift today and doesn't have time to come back and eat Crab Yellow Sauce noodles.

Among those eating, a very abrupt but the most reasonable person is—Wang Gen Sheng.

The Double Crab Bun is his side mission.

Although Crab Yellow Sauce noodles and Double Crab Bun have nothing to do with each other, it doesn't stop Qin Huai from using this to gain Uncle Wang's favor.

Yes, it's time to gain Uncle Wang's favor.

An honest Uncle Wang doesn't do false accounting or take bribes, but he can enjoy small privileges.

Uncle Wang feels a bit guilty enjoying this small privilege.

He used to enjoy small privileges when he first introduced Zheng Da and Qin Huai. Because of this connection, Uncle Wang often got a taste of Crab Shell Cake. Later at Huang Ji, when Qin Huai found out Uncle Wang was also a spirit, he got more small privileges, be it lavish meals at Huang Ji or snacks Qin Huai made, there was always a share for Uncle Wang.

In the eyes of Xu Tuqiang, Grandma Ding, and Grandpa Qian, Wang Gen Sheng has moved away from the organization and betrayed the class, becoming a super connection almost like Chen Huihong or Luo Jun, someone they envied.

Uncle Wang thinks the same.

He feels that although he has a good relationship with Master Qin, he doesn't have as deep a friendship as Chen Huihong or Luo Jun does. Usually, he only eats a few more bites than others, and Qin Huai wouldn't make or keep snacks specifically for him.
