Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1121 - 541: Dang Kang’s Breakfast (Part 2)

Another outgoing child saw Luo Jun and Chen Huihong return and ran over to Luo Jun, saying, "Grandpa, can we ride a pumpkin carriage together later? I want to ride a pumpkin carriage."

Qin Huai saw Luo Jun's face turn completely green.

When Qin Huai rode the roller coaster, everyone was playing separately. While Qin Huai was chatting with Zhou Hu in the dessert shop, a group of spirits had a go on the carousel, and then paired off and separated.

Qu Jing and Chen Huihong accompanied Luo Jun to continue queuing for the carousel, Gong Liang and Cheng Gong went to the pirate ship, Zhao Cheng'an strolled around, and Shi Dadan was not interested in the rides and focused on finding a grilled sausage stall.

Latter, everyone gathered again because of Qin Huai, and with Chen Huihong's suggestion, they all decided to accompany Luo Jun for another ride on the carousel, to take care of the elder.

To this, Luo Jun expressed:

Chen Huihong, are you nuts!

Qin Huai and Shi Dadan stood at the end of the line.

There were several tourists between them and the people in front, and the reason they were separated was that Shi Dadan was obsessed with the amusement park's grilled sausages and ran to buy two more sticks, causing Qin Huai to separate from the rest of the queue while waiting for him.

It's not a big problem; if Qin Huai and Shi Dadan can't get on the same batch of carousel as the others, Qin Huai can still stand nearby and take videos of everyone at a close distance.

Then use the video to blackmail Luo Jun into paying 25% of the deposit for Zhou Hu. (Just kidding)

"Qin Huai, the sausages from this stall are the best, the meat is good, eat them while hot." Shi Dadan happily handed the grilled sausage to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai took the sausage and bit into it, finding it quite good, better than the sausages at the convenience store opposite the district.

The convenience store boss's culinary skills are indeed a bit lacking; he doesn't tap the tea eggs, poke the sausages, or sweeten the boiled corn. It's a waste to store food in the convenience store.

"Old Shi." Qin Huai chewed on the sausage, speaking somewhat unclearly, "Is the reputation of foxes not so good in your area?"

"Not really." Shi Dadan said, "Qin Huai, do you think foxes symbolize cunning and deceit? The nine-tailed foxes in TV dramas are usually not very positive characters, so you feel foxes aren't that good?"

"Foxes are considered auspicious beasts in our area."

"Reputation... It's okay, I guess. If we really talk about bad reputation, there are many more notorious ones than foxes like Scammers, Bi Fangs, Qiong Qi... Actually, there's nothing inherently good or bad, people usually just have personal grievances and don't elevate it to species-level issues."

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Qin Huai thought for a moment: "Because I feel like you all don't really seem to care about Zhou Hu."

"When I was talking about Zhou Hu's side quest just now, you all seemed a bit distracted. I thought maybe foxes have a bad reputation in your area, and you don't really like them, so you're not interested in Zhou Hu."

"But I'm not quite sure, because the last time at Mr. Luo's house during the tea party when Zhou Hu mentioned it, everyone didn't seem to have any obvious aversion."

"I just feel a bit weird."

Shi Dadan took a bite of the sausage, chewed it down, and seemed a bit choked, taking ten seconds to respond: "It's not that we're not interested, it's mainly because you, Qin Huai, seemed a bit scary just now."

"We all thought you were depressed and wanted to commit suicide."

Qin Huai: ?

"Do I look depressed?" Qin Huai was stunned.

"Hard to say." Shi Dadan was quite honest, "Some people seem fine and die the next moment. Just like mayflies, they look normal every lifetime before they die, but suddenly they can't get over something and die."

Qin Huai:...

Qin Huai smiled helplessly. He knew that riding a roller coaster ten times in a row seemed a bit abnormal but thought the spirits should be tolerant enough not to make a big fuss over this.

But considering everyone was actually concerned about him, Qin Huai only felt warmth inside.

"Old Shi, I feel that the snacks I make after going back today should be a bit better than before." Qin Huai said with a cheerful voice, "I've been making locust flower buns and potato dumplings these days, without making the snacks you like. What would you like for breakfast tomorrow morning?"

Shi Dadan thought for a while and smiled honestly: "Anything is fine, you make snacks so delicious, anything is good."

The moment Shi Dadan finished speaking, the game notification sounded again in Qin Huai's mind.

"Ding, congratulations player on discovering a new side quest [Dang Kang's Breakfast], please check in the game panel."

Qin Huai was taken aback, not expecting such a pleasant surprise.

Shi Dadan was already an awakened spirit, Qin Huai had already extracted several side quests from him, and there were still two of Shi Dadan's side quests that weren't completed. Qin Huai never expected to extract more side quests from Shi Dadan.

What a treasure trove Dang Kang is!

Considering they were in the queue, Qin Huai restrained himself a bit, and subtly raised his hand to tap open the game panel.

[Dang Kang's Breakfast]: The plan of the day lies in the morning, and for Dang Kang, breakfast is the key to starting a day of dining. Please continuously create breakfast for Dang Kang for 1000 days, helping Dang Kang achieve the thousand-day delicious breakfast achievement.

Mission Reward: [A segment of Shi Dadan's memory]

Qin Huai:...?

A very straightforward, yet oddly peculiar side quest.

Shi Dadan has such dreams, really. A thousand-day delicious breakfast, it sounds delicious.

Qin Huai kind of wanted to scratch his head.

The task seems simple, but it's actually challenging because continuously making breakfast for Shi Dadan for 1000 days requires Shi Dadan to stay with Qin Huai for 1000 days.

That's very unrealistic.

Firstly, Qin Huai has to return home for New Year's, and Shi Dadan also returns home for celebration.

Though they're in the same city, they're from different counties. Qin Huai can't invite Shi Dadan's entire family to Qin Family Village for New Year's for three consecutive years.

Secondly, although Shi Dadan has been hanging around lately eating and drinking with Qin Huai, he's quite a family man. Unlike Cheng Gong, who isn't married and isn't close to his parents, focusing solely on the boss.

Shi Dadan has a wife and kids, and when the kids are on school break, he returns home to spend time with them.

He can't just run away from Shan City to Guangdong Province every winter and summer break, rent a storefront near Shi Dadan's place and sell breakfasts.

"What's wrong?" Shi Dadan noticed Qin Huai's hesitation and boldly guessed, "Did you just extract my… side quest?"

Qin Huai could only read out the task details to Shi Dadan, who fell silent after hearing it.

Qin Huai sighed: "Old Shi, I didn't expect you to love my breakfast so much that you could extract such a thousand-day breakfast side quest."

Quality alone can't satisfy Shi Dadan anymore; now, it's about quantity.

Shi Dadan felt a bit embarrassed and lowered his head slightly: "Xiao Qin, your breakfast is really delicious, and I do want to eat it every day."

"Actually, New Year's is easy to handle. Our village isn't too far from yours, just a two-hour drive. I can drive over every day to eat breakfast since the first meal is breakfast anyway."

"It's just the winter and summer breaks are a bit tricky…" Shi Dadan thought for a moment, "There should be a good shop at the entrance to my district, I'll help Xiao Qin find a suitable one."

"If I can eat Xiao Qin's breakfast every morning, my son and daughter probably won't want to go out during break."

Qin Huai: ... Didn't expect Dang Kang, with those thick eyebrows, could be so good at stealing talent.

In just a few words, Yunzhong District's residents probably wouldn't see Master Qin during winter and summer breaks.

But Qin Huai was indeed a bit tempted.

Three-year task cycles are originally long, and if Shi Dadan can resolve the New Year's issue, then for winter and summer breaks… Qin Huai wouldn't mind setting up a temporary breakfast shop near Shi Dadan's district.

Doing it for the welfare of the hometown folk, after all.
