"Is it really hard?" Qin Huai was a bit surprised, hearing for the first time from Zheng Siyuan that Zheng Da hadn't learned a recipe.
Zheng Siyuan shook his head: "It's not because of the difficulty. It seems there are some other reasons, possibly because the recipe was bought at a high price and became exclusive, so it can't be made. I remember my dad mentioning it when chatting with Uncle, saying once is not worth doing anyway, better not to learn it."
Qin Huai nodded, half-understanding.
Rich people splurging to buy out recipes was not uncommon back in the day. For instance, Luo Jun actually bought out the recipe for guo'er at a high price.
However, the guo'er recipe is quite special because the chef himself didn't want to reveal that he created the recipe and didn't really want to make it.
"Looks like if I want to learn the Double Crab Bun, I'll have to wait until next year," Qin Huai sighed.
