Chapter 187 Awakening(1/2)
Ouyang fell into a long silence after hearing that if he wanted to eat fruit, he had to go to Suzhou to eat it. Qin Huai didn't pay attention to his good brother's silence, because the sambal was wrapped in the steamer.
【Three Ding Bao Grade B】
All grade B.
Stable performance.
Qin Huai opened the lid himself, and the moment he opened the lid, steam rushed to his face. The heat was mixed with the unique wheat aroma of the buns, silently announcing to everyone around him that this pot of buns was really delicious.
Anyone who often eats steamed buns knows that you can tell whether the steamed buns are delicious or not by smelling them.
Smell sounds relatively abstract, but every neighbor who lives in the community near Qin's Breakfast Shop, especially those who have to go to school at 7 o'clock, has to get up early every day, full of expectations and hungry to come to Qin's Breakfast Shop just for the sake of it.
For high school students who want to eat the buns they want, identifying buns by their smell is the most basic skill.
The aroma of delicious steamed buns is different from ordinary steamed buns.
Especially for meat buns, although the meat filling is tightly wrapped in the bun skin, the aroma will still come out along with the aroma of wheat.
That sweet smell, full of carbohydrates, fats, sugars and a series of human beings' most primitive pursuit and desire for calories, will quickly occupy the nasal cavity of people who are in urgent need of a delicious breakfast.
At that moment, the smell of flowers, books, dust, and gasoline all disappeared. Even if there was a braised food restaurant next door to the breakfast shop, the scent of the braised food could be temporarily ignored.
The whole world only tastes like steamed buns.
And it tastes like the buns made by Qin Huai himself.
If someone insists on asking what the taste of the steamed buns made by Qin Huai is, then these customers who come to buy the steamed buns every morning with the intention of opening a blind box will definitely tell them loudly:
It just tastes like buns!
As long as you get a little closer and take a deep breath, you will know that you are safe this morning, your bet is right, and you can eat the steamed bun flavor of your dream package!
No matter it's severe cold or hot, windy or rainy, or even a typhoon day, as long as Qin's breakfast shop is open, everyone dares to queue up for this steamed bun flavor!
As long as you smell the fragrance, your saliva will automatically secrete, your brain will automatically render it, and you will feel like you have eaten the steamed buns before you even take them in your hands!
It's a pity that this feeling is only understood by the residents near Qin's Breakfast Restaurant, and the guests at Yunzhong Canteen are destined not to understand it.
Because the buns sold by Qin Huai and Qin Congwen in Yunzhong Canteen are not at the same price at all, they are sold separately.
When everyone buys steamed buns, they simply cannot buy the joy of opening a blind box.
Qin Huai quickly picked out the buns one by one and put them on plates. He didn't know how much each employee's appetite was, but he knew that everyone would definitely eat more today than before. After all, after working for such a long time, no matter how small the appetite was,
It's time to get hungry.
So when Qin Huai was making the last batch of steamed buns, he prepared them according to Qin Luo's appetite, and also took into account the small meals of Ouyang, Chen Huihong, Chen Huihui, Luo Jun, Qu Jing and even Chen Yingjun.
Qin Luo's buns don't need this batch of buns. Qin Luo won't be back from school until the evening, and Qin Huai will give her the buns in advance.
Qin Huai and everyone packed a large plate full of steamed buns, along with unlimited refills of tangerine peel tea and the nourishing-looking stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata, and everyone had the illusion that it was the Chinese New Year.
The big plate of steamed buns in front of you looks so shabby, but it's actually quite rich.
Many waiters at Yunzhong Canteen have never eaten so many sandwich buns since they joined the company.
You know, there is a purchase limit for today's Sanding Bao. It is impossible for the canteen to really limit the purchase of 5 pieces per person per day, but it can only buy 5 pieces at a time. There are many nearby residents lining up from morning to noon just for it.
Buy more buns.
But how many are on the plate in front of everyone now?
There are 12 of them!
This is not an ordinary 12 three-pack, this is a special benefit for Yunzhong Canteen employees that symbolizes privilege!
If you carry these 12 buns and walk around Yunzhong Community, you will be the most handsome boy in the whole community. Even Grandma Ding, who is carrying two big bags of fermented steamed buns, can't cover up your brilliance.
"Everyone has worked hard all day. Let's take some supplements." Qin Huai said with a smile.
There was no need for Qin Huai to greet him, someone had already taken the lead and started eating.
The first one to start was An Youyou. She picked up the buns and stuffed them into her mouth even faster and more decisively than Ouyang.
While other employees were still hesitating and thinking about whether this plate should be for one person or several people, whether to eat one or two leftovers and take them home for the family to eat, or whether to eat happily first and not think about so much,
An Youyou's buns are already in your mouth.
An Youyou had already eaten sandwich buns yesterday.
But she felt it was not enough, far from enough.
I can't get enough of such delicious buns.
When she gets rich in the future, she will eat three diced buns, one five diced buns, one Sixi dumplings, one fermented steamed buns, and whatever is available in the canteen every morning. She must eat a hearty meal before going to work.
Soon, the employees of Yunzhong Canteen, who were all slumped on their chairs from exhaustion, all held steamed buns in their hands and started devouring them happily, taking a mouthful of steamed buns and a sip of tangerine peel tea with intoxicated expressions.
This is what Qu Jing saw when she walked into the cafeteria.
As a professional neurologist, Qu Jing's first reaction was to call the police.
Then Qu Jing took a look at what everyone was eating.
Sanding buns, tangerine peel tea.
It's okay.
When Qu Jing came in, Qin Huai was eating pigeon stewed with gastrodia elata.
The ordinary stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata and the delicious sandwich buns were in sharp contrast. Qin Huai took one bite of pigeon and one bite of sandwich buns, and felt deeply that Gong Liang really loved him.
After eating the S-grade Sanding Bao, I can still eat the D-grade Gastrodia stewed pigeon, and I still eat it every now and then.
It is indeed a gold medal sales!
"Qin Huai, long time no see." Qu Jing came in and took off her mask with a smile, "You caused a sensation when you came back. The smell of buns was everywhere I went this morning. The director of neurosurgery came to our department to find me.
Ask me if I can help you purchase three bags."
Qin Huai could only ask: "Have you eaten?"
Qu Jing shook his head, Qin Huai pushed the bun in front of him towards Qu Jing: "Eat some."
Qu Jing was not polite and sat down to eat three ding buns.
Qin Huai took a moment to look at Qu Jing and found that he was in good condition, with a rosy complexion, normal lip color, and sufficient energy and blood.
He won't die in a short time.
Noticing Qin Huai looking at herself, Qu Jing smiled: "I'm in a good state of mind recently."
"Although I still get complaints from patients occasionally, I wrap myself up too tightly and don't respect patients. I can't do anything about most of the patients I encounter about Alzheimer's disease. The progress of the new paper is not going well. I occasionally sit in front of the computer in the middle of the night.
Sometimes, I still have a strong urge to stab myself on the wrist, but it's already good." Qu Jing said softly, her voice was light, and you could tell that she was not forcing a smile but really thought so.
"Sister Hong is always worried about me. She often makes excuses to deliver fruits to me at nine or ten o'clock in the evening. She comes to my house with a large bag of imported fruits or even a cut fruit plate. Make sure there is no fruit peeling knife on the table.
You can rest assured that all the knives inside are in their proper places.”
"She often complains to me that you haven't come back for so long in Gusu. She has neither tangerine peel tea to drink nor snacks to eat. When she runs errands across provinces from Huang Ji, only shortbread can be delivered normally, and fermented steamed buns from Gusu.
When Su brought it over, he didn't eat it directly. It was soft and chewy just out of the pan."
Qin Huai was shocked: "Sister Hong really ordered takeout from across the province?!"
"Yes, but it seems that she is taking out Mr. Luo's cross-province takeaway. Mr. Luo drinks tangerine peel tea every morning, which is delivered from Suzhou the day before."
Qin Huai didn't understand. Qin Huai was greatly shocked. He just said it, but he didn't expect Luo Jun to actually do it.
Qin Huai thought for a while and didn't know what to say, so he could only redirect the topic to Qu Jing: "I can see that you look pretty good now."
Qu Jing nodded: "Maybe it's because I secretly basked in the sun recently."
Seeing Qin Huai slightly startled, Qu Jing continued: "Over the years, I have been pretending that I am severely allergic to ultraviolet rays, and I have even believed it. Not only do I wrap myself up tightly every day, but I also avoid the sun when I look at it.
, even the house I rented before did not face the sun. I had to close the blackout curtains tightly every day when I went to bed to ensure that the sun would not shine into my room."
"But the bedroom in the house that Sister Hong rented to me faces the sun."
"One night when Sister Hong came to chat with me, she opened the curtains in my room to ventilate the room. That night I wrote my thesis until two or three in the morning. I didn't pay attention to the curtains before going to bed. I woke up the next morning because of the sunshine.
."
"The sunshine was particularly warm, so warm. The moment I woke up, I suddenly felt that I hadn't been in the sun like this for many years."
"At that time, I was thinking that sunbathing is such a comfortable thing."
"It turns out I can really live a normal life."
"Even if my body is full of scars, winding and ferocious. Even if I harm myself at every turn and lose my mind, my mother Qu has to bandage me while crying every time."
"Even if I have to wear a mask every day and pretend that I am allergic to ultraviolet rays, when I am alone, I always feel like a dark monster living in the sewer all year round. I cannot see the light, and I dare not show my true face to others. As long as others find me
Whatever it is, I will avoid it."
"But I can still live a normal life."
"There will still be normal people like you, Sister Hong, and Mr. Luo who accept me and understand me."
"I can still bask in the sun when the sun is shining and take off my gloves in front of you."
"There are still doctors and nurses in the department who know that I have an eccentric personality, that I am not good at talking, and that I don't like to talk to others. They still drag me to chat and gossip, just so that I can help him buy tangerine peel tea and tripe buns."
