In a certain sense, the Double Crab Bun and guo'er are somewhat similar, yet quite different. Guo'er is a white pastry snack forcibly made by a meat chef, resulting in a snack that is delicious but also somewhat awkward. This forcefulness is apparent from the recipe.
But the Double Crab Bun is more about showmanship.
It's the work of an impressive pastry chef wanting to prove their meat cooking skills aren't inferior, with a rebellious feeling of doing exactly what you're told not to do.
Qin Huai now even suspects that Wang Gen Sheng's recipe has actually been improved.
This is actually quite reasonable. Back then, Xu Nuo paid a sky-high price to buy the recipe and gifted it to Master Jing, who, given his skills, could develop a Crab Yellow Sauce version of the Double Crab Bun and naturally also make higher-level improvements to the original Double Crab Bun.
