The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 140 Arrival in Gusu
The next morning, Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan boarded a plane to Shanghai. After landing, they took the high-speed train to Suzhou. After all the hassles, it was already noon when they arrived in Suzhou.

"I really admire you for answering Zheng Bo's call in the afternoon and coming to our cafeteria early the next morning." Qin Huai, who rarely travels far on weekdays and travels back and forth from home to school during his four years in college, deeply admires Zheng Siyuan's extraordinary ability to take action.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it." Zheng Siyuan glanced at his phone, "My dad said someone is coming to pick us up."

"Ah? Do I still need to answer it?" Qin Huai was at a loss.

"You're new here, so please take it as a ritual."

Qin Huai:?
An hour later, Qin Huai knew what it meant to take the call in a ceremonial manner.

The person who came to the high-speed rail station to pick someone up was Dong Shi, an old acquaintance of Qin Huai and a genuine netizen. During the video call, he and Qin Huai chatted a lot of gossip about the restaurant.

The gossips that Dong Shi and Qin Huai talked about these days include but are not limited to:
Huang Shengli's son is not good at running a restaurant and his marketing plan is a mess.

Huang Shengli's sixth apprentice was kicked out by his girlfriend again because of his hair loss and looking old. Dong Shishun lamented that the fumes in the kitchen were indeed a bit too heavy and that the hair loss could not be blamed entirely on the sixth apprentice.

A certain customer who cannot reveal his name but is well known in the restaurant held his first, second, third and fourth weddings in the restaurant, and the marriage partner was always the same person. This made everyone suspect that they just wanted to find an excuse to hold more weddings and eat some of Huang Ji Restaurant's wedding special dishes.

Huang Shengli's back problems have not only occurred in recent years. Since this customer got married for the second time, the restaurant has had some limited dishes that are only allowed to be ordered at large banquets such as wedding banquets and birthday banquets with enough tables. Only regular and old customers have the opportunity to order them.

These precious gossips made Qin Huai and Dong Shi’s online friendship extremely strong.

At the same time, it also allowed Dong Shi to break through the siege and become the representative to pick up people at the high-speed railway station.

Dong Shi came to pick someone up, and his main purpose was to bring Qin Huai to the house that Zheng Da rented for him.

The house is just opposite the Huangji Restaurant. It only takes 6 minutes to walk from the community to the restaurant's kitchen, which is very convenient for work. Convenient to Qinhuai. I want to ask Dong Shi, does your Huangji Restaurant also sell breakfast? I need to come here at 4 o'clock every morning to make Wu Ding Bao?
"This house was carefully selected by Uncle Zheng for you, Qin Huai. Uncle Zheng originally wanted to rent a house for you in his community, but his house is too far from Huang's. Our restaurant takes a long time to prepare food and starts work early, basically we have to arrive at the store to work at 9 o'clock. If you come from Uncle Zheng's house, you have to get up at 8 o'clock every morning, which is too early." Dong Shi has a mouth that can't be idle. He wants to say everything and can't keep a word.

Qin Huai, who gets up at 4 o'clock every morning: ...

Zheng Siyuan, who has changed from getting up at 6 o'clock to going to work at 6 o'clock during this period: ...

"But our restaurant also has its advantages. The lunch break is very long. Basically, the kitchen staff rests at 4:8 pm, and we start work at 4:4 pm and get off work at 4: pm. We never work overtime. I remember that Qin Huai, you get off work at : pm every day. We don't have a pastry chef in our restaurant. If you want to go to bed early at night, you can get off work at : pm. We will have dinner at : pm."

Qin Huai:......

Is this the treatment for randomly dropped chefs?
Zheng Siyuan, I'm sorry for treating you like a slave.

The house that Zheng Da rented for Qin Huai was a one-bedroom apartment that was ready for move-in. It was very clean and there was no extra things that needed to be prepared. Even the toothbrushes and towels were brand new and unopened, which made Qin Huai suspect that the house might have been a homestay before.

There was nothing to clean up in the house, so Qin Huai put down his luggage and went across the street with Dong Shi to meet Huang Shengli, while Zheng Siyuan dragged his luggage back home to clean up first.

When meeting the online teacher for the first time, Qin Huai brought a little gift he prepared -

The apple pie I made last night.

It is a genuine apple dough fruit, the filling of which is prepared by Zheng Siyuan. It is a pure and genuine apple dough fruit.

Not minced meat heresy.

Qin Huai followed Dong Shi to Huang's Restaurant.

Huang's Restaurant is also a time-honored brand in the local area. It was opened by Huang Shengli when he was young and has now grown into a large restaurant. Because of its age and the fact that it has not been renovated much in the past two years, it looks a bit old from a distance. Of course, from another perspective, it can also be said to have historical heritage.

Although this foundation is a bit short, only more than 20 years.

Qin Huai entered the restaurant at around 1pm, which was barely lunchtime. There were not many customers in the restaurant, and half of the lobby was occupied. At this time, the occupancy rate was not bad on weekdays, but it was indeed a bit unworthy of the reputation that Huang's Restaurant had enjoyed over the years. It seemed that Dong Shi's complaints were correct, and Huang Shengli's son was indeed not good at business.

Dong Shi led Qin Huai to the back kitchen door, pushed it open and shouted happily, "Master, Qin Huai is here. I brought him back! He also brought you a gift. Come out and see it!"

"What a noisy scene! There are guests eating outside." Huang Shengli walked out slowly from the kitchen.

This was the first time Qin Huai saw the real person.

Compared to the video, the real person is a little darker and thinner.

Huang Shengli looked at Qin Huai with a smile: "Xiao Qin is here, why are you so polite and bring a gift? Show me what you brought."

Qin Huai handed over the gift box.

The gift box was obtained from Chen Yingjun, and it was the leftover gift box for noodles and fruits.

Huang Shengli opened the gift box and stared at the four apples inside. He picked up one and squeezed it to feel the texture. He then looked at it carefully in front of his eyes and asked:
"Did you make this yourself?"

Qin Huai nodded: "Basically, Zheng Siyuan helped me mix the fillings, and I'm still a little unsure of the balance."

"Oh my goodness." Huang Shengli muttered, "There really are people who are born knowing how to make noodles. They haven't forgotten to make Meng Po soup."

"Master, what did you say?" Dong Shi didn't hear clearly.

"It has nothing to do with you." Huang Shengli ignored his closed disciple and focused all his attention on Qin Huai, his smile deepening.

"Xiao Qin, you and Siyuan came here early in the morning, right? You must be tired."

"It's okay, I'm not very tired." Qin Huai told the truth.

"Have you seen the house? Are you used to it?"

"pretty good."

"You came from afar, so theoretically I should prepare a welcoming banquet for you. But my waist is not doing well. I woke up in severe pain this morning. I couldn't even sit down, let alone cook."

"Master Huang, you don't have to be so polite. You have taught me on WeChat for so long, so you are half my master. How could I trouble you to prepare a welcoming banquet for me?" Qin Huai said hurriedly.

"I'm relieved if you don't mind. Dong Shi, why are you still standing there? Give Xiao Qin's work clothes to him."

Qin Huai:?
Dong Shi immediately took out a set of kitchen staff uniforms from the cabinet next to him like a magician and handed them to Qin Huai: "The master made it for you according to your size. I don't know if it fits you."

Qin Huai looked at the work clothes and found that there was embroidery on the chest of the work clothes top, with his name embroidered on it.

Qinhuai.

Great, time to work.

Qin Huai held his work clothes very consciously and asked, "Where is the dressing room?"

"I'm new here and I don't know what to do, so I'll make you a few trays of my specialty, fermented glutinous rice steamed buns!"
