However, amidst a pile of bad news, there was a trivial piece of good news: although the pastry chef didn't work at night, they left some new snacks to be sold in the evening—green bean cake and jujube and yam cake.
Zheng Siyuan, whom everyone knew as Master Zheng, also left some old snacks for the customers—fresh meat mooncakes.
To reassure a group of regulars, Huang Shengli personally came forward to explain. First, he clarified the rumor that the lunchtime pastry chef was Zheng Da, then he announced Qin Huai's working hours and finally stated that during this period, both Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan would be regularly appearing at Huang Ji, so there was no need to worry about whether there would be more snacks available after eating them, causing over-purchasing. Fresh items were available every noon, so everyone could enjoy the freshest ones.
Without Qin Huai knowing, his name had already spread among the regular customers at Huang Ji.
