Chapter 148
"Come, Qin Huai, welcome to Gusu, I toast you on behalf of Master!"
"Mm-mm." Qin Huai raised his juice perfunctorily.
"Qin Huai, I also toast you on behalf of Master!"
"Mm-mm-mm." Qin Huai raised his cup perfunctorily again.
"To celebrate my dad cooking in person, let's toast together!"
Qin Huai raised his cup while eating.
It wasn't that Qin Huai was impolite, it was really that he hadn't seen the world.
He also felt very sorry, but he really couldn't control his hands holding chopsticks and his mouth eating things.
Too delicious!
How could there be such delicious dishes in this world!
Eight-Treasure Chicken was actually stuffing eight kinds of ingredients into the chicken belly. The chicken meat outside was already delicious, but he didn't expect the filling inside to be even more essence. Glutinous rice, lily, bamboo shoot dices, pearl barley, lotus seeds, quail eggs, and other ingredients fully absorbed the soup. One bite down, how could it be described as fresh and fragrant.
Three-Set Duck went without saying. Before, there was Huang Anyao's commentary, and Qin Huai completely ate according to the tutorial of eating Three-Set Duck. First, drink the soup layer by layer from outside to inside, then eat the meat layer by layer from inside to outside. Every bite had to confirm whether it really tasted like one kind of flavor, and after eating 7 flavors, the 7 flavors combined into one, making Qin Huai want to worship Huang Shengli as a master and abandon white for red.
Pastry snacks, I'm sorry, Three-Set Duck is really delicious.
Braised Silver Carp Head, just one word, fresh!
The freshness of sea, land, and air combined!
Not to mention that this dish had no fish thorns. When Qin Huai listened to Huang Anyao introduce Braised Silver Carp Head, he specifically searched for it on the Internet. He found that many Huaiyang dishes of this type had to be deboned and thornless, just to facilitate the consumption of the rich, and deeply felt that the rich in ancient times knew how to enjoy.
As for Sizzling Eel Paste...
Qin Huai could only say that the threshold of "Zhiwei" was still too high. Such delicious dishes only got on the 7th issue. How delicious were the dishes in the first 6 issues?
After the hot oil was poured on the eel shreds and sizzled twice, it was served directly on the table. The first chopstick entrance almost made Qin Huai's tongue fresh off.
The freshness of Sizzling Eel Paste was not the freshness of Braised Silver Carp Head and Three-Set Duck. Those two were the freshness of making the best of the original flavor of the ingredients and developing it to the extreme. Sizzling Eel Paste could taste very strong seasoning, looking thick oil and red sauce, oily, and tasting salty and fresh, with obvious returning sweetness.
This kind of salty and sweet dish was not as sweet as Squirrel Mandarin Fish, which was more acceptable, but Qin Huai felt that Huang Anyao was right; the returning sweetness of this dish was the soul.
No sugar, no sweetness, it was just an ordinary red-braised eel.
With returning sweetness, it was Sizzling Eel Paste that sizzled twice.
The remaining dishes didn't need to be said much.
Biluochun Shrimp, very light, the shrimp cooked with tea soup could taste a faint tea fragrance, the taste was very unique, and also very light. After all, whether it was tea flavor or shrimp flavor, compared with these dishes on the table, they belonged to no taste.
But a fresh lily blooming in the peony flowers fighting for beauty on the table was still very necessary.
Squirrel Mandarin Fish, this dish was a very common famous dish, Qin Huai had eaten it. This kind of deep-fried, sweet, thornless fish was Qin Luo's favorite. Every time Qin Luo ate Squirrel Mandarin Fish, she could dip the remaining sweet and sour sauce in the plate clean with steamed buns.
Sweet and sour sauce with steamed buns, Qin Huai could only say that Qin Luo was also a ruthless person in a sense.
When Qin Huai ate Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Zheng Siyuan also took the opportunity to explain two sentences, telling him that Squirrel Mandarin Fish tested the chef's heat control and seasoning. Heat control determined the tenderness of the fish meat. Squirrel Mandarin Fish had to be fried, but couldn't be fried too much. It had to be crispy outside and tender inside. If the fish meat was fried old, the dish would also flip the car.
Seasoning naturally went without saying, determining the taste of the sweet and sour sauce.
Huang Shengli's heat control and seasoning were first-class. If this dish was placed in front of Qin Luo, she could eat three more steamed buns after eating the Squirrel Mandarin Fish and dipping the sweet and sour sauce.
From the moment he picked up the chopsticks, there was only one sentence in Qin Huai's heart: Can't eat it, can't eat it at all, why does he only have one mouth, can't eat two dishes at the same time?
Qin Huai didn't dare to think, if he could eat such delicious dishes every day, how cheerful he would be.
He even understood a little why Huang Anyao didn't want to manage the restaurant, didn't want to learn to cook, and only wanted to eat all over the world to be a food critic.
My God, if his dad had this skill, he would also be a food critic, and he and Did Luo Luo would be food critics together!
At this moment, Qin Huai felt that he and Qin Luo must be brother and sister of different fathers and mothers.
Oh, poor Did Luo Luo, not only couldn't eat such delicious dishes, but also had to eat the baozi made by dad every morning.
Qin Huai silently lit a candle for Qin Luo in his heart.
On the whole table, Qin Huai ate the most happily. After all, he really hadn't seen the world much.
Sitting at the table eating were Qin Huai, Huang Shengli, Zheng Siyuan, Huang Anyao, and Huang Shengli's 9 apprentices. Among these people, except for Qin Huai, almost everyone had experienced the happy time of being able to eat the dishes made by Huang Shengli every day.
Huang Shengli was a master who believed in encouraging education. When he learned to cook, the way his master encouraged him was to stuff him with half a steamed bun after a day of learning to cook, and spend his own money to buy some good dishes during festivals to make a table of rich dishes.
Huang Shengli naturally followed suit. The way he rewarded his son, apprentices, and fellow apprentices was to cook. Because of the different eras, Huang Shengli's reward back then was steamed buns, and the rewards he gave were basically good dishes at the level of Biluochun Shrimp, and the gatherings during festivals were basically the configuration of dishes on the table.
Now Huang Shengli's body was not good, the number of times he cooked was small, everyone ate less, but it didn't mean they hadn't eaten it before.
Only Qin Huai really hadn't eaten it.
Especially in front of a group of people who had eaten delicacies for many years, he looked very inexperienced.
But Qin Huai didn't care, whatever, eat first.
If you lose anything, you can't lose your mouth.
Huang Shengli looked at Qin Huai eating in a hurry and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Qin's appearance really doesn't match his skills."
Zheng Siyuan thought about the skills of Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong, and felt it could be understood, saying: "Qin Huai's family situation... is relatively special."
"Although he makes snacks well, his stir-frying is indeed very poor. His parents' stir-frying skills are only a little better than his. He has seen a lot of the world in snacks, but in dishes..."
"That's how it is."
Huang Anyao was a little curious: "Does Qin Huai know many snacks?"
Zheng Siyuan nodded affirmatively, seeing Huang Jia and others also curiously looking at his side, and raised his volume slightly: "Southern school, northern school, all over the world, but mainly palace snacks, because Did Luo Luo likes to watch palace dramas."
Everyone:?
"But recently he has been making more Su-style snacks, because Dr. Qu loves to eat rice cake-type snacks."
Everyone:??
"Of course, what he specifically knows how to make mainly depends on what is in the Complete Book of Snacks. He has a Complete Book of Snacks, which he showed me. There are quite a lot of various types of snacks on it. Oh, by the way, he knows how to make three types of mung bean cakes: Beijing-style, Guangzhou-style, and Yunnan-style. He is best at Beijing-style, because Did Luo Luo loves Beijing-style the most."
Everyone:???
Zheng Siyuan finished introducing.
Since Qin Huai had seen the world, it was time to let the world see Qin Huai.
Qin Huai happily scooped himself a large spoonful of Crab Roe Lion's Head, seeing the people at the table already full of question marks, and felt he should express himself.
"I remember the staff meal time at Huang's Restaurant is after 1:00 noon and after 8:00 evening, right? I make snacks, and my working time is different from everyone's. I can be responsible for the snacks and staple food of the staff meals."
"If you have anything you want to eat, you can tell me. If I know how to do it, I will do it. If I don't know how to do it, I can flip through the Complete Book of Snacks. I brought the Complete Book of Snacks with me this time. But I don't guarantee that the newly learned ones will be delicious, and I might need to practice for a while."
"If everyone doesn't have anything special they want to eat, I will do it according to the situation. If I make six types every day... let me calculate, although there are many I don't often make but can count as knowing, it should be possible to make... 3 weeks without repeating."
Everyone:????
