Chapter 42 The aroma is too cloying!
Grandpa Xu pinched his nose, quickly took a few steps back, and fanned the smell of meat with his hand to get rid of it.
Goodness, I almost threw up all the good food I ate this morning.
Grandpa Xu frowned and spoke in a loud voice.
"Oh my, what does your steamed bun taste like?"
"The smell was so strong it made my stomach churn; I almost threw up the steamed buns I ate this morning!"
Grandpa Xu's series of actions and his undisguised words completely baffled Chen Hui and Zhao Dan.
Zhao Dan murmured, "What's that smell? It smells like meat buns. Don't all meat buns taste like this?"
Grandpa Xu frowned and waved his hand.
"The meat buns from Xiao Chen's family don't taste like this at all."
"Grandpa, that's not being honest. Aren't all meat buns in the world the same? They're filled with meat, and when they're steamed, they have a wonderful aroma of dough and meat."
Zhao Dan unconsciously rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.
"Grandpa, no matter how delicious his buns are, they're still filled with meat, aren't they? Are they filled with dragon meat? And if they're steamed, why are they different from ours?"
Grandpa Xu took a deep breath, suppressing the churning feeling in his stomach, before speaking.
"Of course it's different. Their steamed buns smell delicious, but they're not pungent."
"Moreover, the steamed buns they make not only have a meaty flavor, but also a fresh bamboo aroma. It is said that their steamers are made of the finest bamboo."
"When you smell it, you can not only smell the aroma of meat and noodles, but also the fragrance of bamboo, which is particularly enticing. The key is that it is not cloying at all, and you can eat as much as you want without getting tired of it."
As Grandpa Xu spoke, he shook his head.
Zhao Dan listened with some skepticism, then looked at Chen Hui beside her and whispered something.
"A bamboo steamer? A steamer basket actually made of bamboo, how much would that cost? Can you keep the cost down?"
Chen Hui pointed to the steamer basket in his house and said.
"You forgot? We used to use bamboo steamers too. Later, when we had more money, we switched to stainless steel ones. Those bamboo steamers didn't have such a strong smell! You're out of your mind, making meat buns smell like bamboo?"
At this point, Grandpa Xu had already walked away with his hands behind his back, swaying unsteadily.
Chen Hui cursed under his breath.
"You old geezer, eat, eat until you die!"
Zhao Dan looked at the freshly steamed buns, picked one up and put it in her mouth. When she bit through the bun, a rich, slightly greasy meat juice flowed into her mouth.
Zhao Dan said, "I think it's delicious. Our meat buns are our family's specialty. All that old Xu does is talk and talk. What good or bad can he possibly taste with that mouth?"
Just then, a few more office workers passed by.
Chen Hui and Zhao Dan hurriedly called out to attract customers.
After selling a few steamed buns, the two looked at each other and sighed.
Zhao Dan said, "Honey, what do we do? Haven't you noticed that our old customers haven't been coming lately? Now it's all these small-time customers."
Chen Hui said irritably, "How would I know? We've already put up the half-price sign, and it always works before. Why isn't it working this time with this brat?"
Chen Hui wiped his greasy hands on his apron, his eyes darting around, and then said.
"Go and queue up tomorrow to buy two steamed buns to try."
"I refuse to believe it! It's just a lousy meat bun, how delicious could it be!"
Early the next morning.
Chen Yuan drove his minivan to the market and returned fully loaded with goods.
They unloaded all the ingredients from the bread cart and opened the door to the breakfast shop.
Sure enough, a brand new meat grinder was found in the corner.
This meat grinder looks similar to a regular meat grinder.
Chen Yuan immediately took out the fresh meat and put it into the meat grinder.
The meat was ready in just a few minutes.
Chen Yuan took out the minced meat and examined it carefully under the light.
This meat grinder is not only fast, but it can also mimic the uneven texture of hand-chopping meat.
The meat pieces vary in size.
Larger pieces of meat provide a chewy texture, while smaller pieces are more tender.
"I wonder what new functions this meat grinder will have after the upgrade?"
Chen Yuan thought to himself.
He quickly prepared the three fillings.
Then we started preparing the other things.
The machine roared loudly.
Another pleasant day has begun.
Wang Xiaoya, a typical office worker, arrived at Chen Yuan's breakfast shop right on time.
The two are now so in sync that they don't need to communicate at all. Wang Xiaoya holds up four fingers, and Chen Yuan immediately understands.
Then one person bagged it, and the other paid.
Wang Xiaoya left after getting the items.
She muttered to herself as she replied to messages on her phone.
"Manager Gao has been eating chive and egg buns for several days and still hasn't had enough. It seems he has a deep love for chives and eggs."
After arriving at the company.
As usual, she put Gao Bailu's portion into the designated box.
Then I made myself a free cup of coffee and went back to my workstation.
It's like taking advantage of a freebie; if you don't take advantage of it, you're missing out.
After Gao Bailu finished her own business, she came over to pick up her things.
Back in the office, I opened the window and was just taking a satisfying bite of a chive bun when...
The office door was suddenly opened.
Gao Bailu was startled and almost dropped the steamed bun in her hand on the table. She thought it was one of her subordinates who had come in without knocking and was about to scold him when...
To my surprise, I saw a chubby face with a kind smile.
Gao Bailu quickly stood up, not even bothering to wipe her mouth.
"President Qin!"
The visitor was Qin Zhengjiang, the company's general manager.
Qin Zhengjiang has a chubby face and is not very tall.
He seems very easygoing and speaks very gently.
But Gao Bailu knew very well that an easygoing person could not have gotten to this position.
She saw the half-eaten bun on the table and was about to stand up to explain when Qin Zhengjiang walked over with a smile.
"Xiao Gao, busy eating?"
"Yes, this, I..."
"It's okay, it's okay, just eat. Keep eating, I have something to tell you."
As he spoke, Qin Zhengjiang sat down in the chair directly opposite Gao Bailu.
As soon as he sat down, Qin Zhengjiang smelled a rich and tempting aroma of chive and egg buns.
The aroma, like a hook, burrowed into his stomach through his nostrils, scratching him vigorously.
Suddenly, Qin Zhengjiang forgot what he was going to say.
The two stared at each other awkwardly.
In this silent atmosphere.
Because Qin Zhengjiang hadn't eaten breakfast either, his stomach rumbled loudly.
awkward.
That's so embarrassing!
At such an awkward moment.
Gao Bailu didn't know what was wrong with her, but on a whim, she actually said something.
"President Qin."
"Would you like to eat something with me?"
