In one afternoon, Qin Huai stir-fried two buckets of green vegetables.

The amount was very large, and Dong Shi's face turned green when he looked at the two buckets of green vegetables.

Qin Huai felt that he had gained a lot this afternoon.

He mastered many tips for stir-frying green vegetables.

For example, the best time for stir-frying over high heat must be controlled within a few seconds, a few seconds might be a bit too much, the most perfect state and the second perfect state of green vegetables are only in a flash.

The timing of flipping the spoon depends on the specific state of the vegetables in the pot, not like steaming pastries, which can be precisely controlled in the first minute and the second minute. Savory stir-frying requires more improvisation, and requires the chef's experience to control the rhythm.

For example, when flipping the spoon, you can't just use brute force, you must use clever force, otherwise it is easy to flip the vegetables out.

Also...

Of course, gaining doesn't mean you can do it, but Qin Huai felt the effect was still very good.

Huang Shengli demonstrated a near-perfect stir-fried green vegetable for him, he didn't need to change anything, just try hard to follow that plate of vegetables of Huang Shengli.

This is the teaching mode he is most familiar with.

"Master Huang, it's really hard on you." Qin Huai said from the bottom of his heart.

Huang Shengli's expression was very indifferent, with a master's demeanor, a kind smile on his face, nodded slightly: "It should be, we will continue tomorrow afternoon."

"By the way, Xiao Qin, I heard that you arrived at Huang Ji at 8 o'clock in the morning. It was me who didn't consider your specific situation, you are used to getting up early, and you must be uncomfortable if you go to work so late. How about this, I will let Huang Jia give you the key, if you want to come earlier, just come directly."

"Is it Wang Jun who helped you today? You tell him later what pastries to make tomorrow, and I will let him prepare the materials that can be prepared for you tonight."

"I also have to talk to Huang Jia, he is such a big person, and he is not reliable at all. You listed so many pastries on the list and he didn't remind you, were you tired at noon?" The concern in Huang Shengli's words was about to overflow.

Qin Huai hurriedly said: "No, no, it was me who thought about making more of my specialties on the first day, I didn't expect the customers to be so enthusiastic."

"You don't need to make pastries in the evening, I remember you also made something else at noon, jujube paste yam cake and mung bean cake, right? Just sell something casually in the evening, Siyuan's fresh meat mooncakes and Dingsheng cake are still there."

"I will also tell Siyuan later, from now on Huang Ji will sell pastries at noon, and not in the evening, you follow your rhythm."

"You don't need to worry about the customers, I will explain, they will still give me some face if I say something."

"You are also tired from stir-frying green vegetables this afternoon, I will stir-fry two small dishes for you to eat, go back and rest early. Tomorrow, keep your spirits up and continue in the afternoon."

Qin Huai really wanted to say tactfully and hypocritically that there is no need, how can I trouble you to cook, but thinking of the welcome banquet he ate last night, saliva secreted involuntarily, and his body nodded very honestly.

Want to eat, love to eat, like to eat.

I like the staff meal of Huang Ji restaurant too much, I want to work at Huang Ji restaurant for two more months!

Huang Shengli went to cook happily.

At this moment, if you know Huang Shengli, you will find that Huang Shengli is actually a bit distracted when cooking.

Because although he is in front of the stove, his soul has long floated to other places.

Huang Shengli's mind is full of how to reformulate a new teaching plan when he goes back.

Damn, the experience of the gold-medal famous teacher is not enough.

Not a single word was said today!

How did he, a gold-medal famous teacher, teach for an afternoon and become Zheng Da?

No, I have to study it carefully when I go back, and let Qin Huai see the demeanor of a gold-medal famous teacher tomorrow!

Qin Huai didn't think much, discussed with Zheng Siyuan about the time to go to work tomorrow, and went back to rest after eating the staff meal happily.

Working high-intensity from morning to noon, after resting for more than an hour, he started heat control teaching again, stir-frying two large buckets of green vegetables, Qin Huai was already tired, and simply had no extra energy and mind to think about other things.

After going back, Qin Huai fell asleep, and then woke up at 6 o'clock the next morning.

Qin Huai:...

Oh, his damn biological clock.

Being so tired, can't he sleep until 8 o'clock?

Since he is awake, Qin Huai accepted his fate and got up. First, brush the circle of friends for a while, look at the number of likes on the circle of friends of landing in Gusu posted the day before yesterday, which is endless at a glance.

The comments are also long.

Xu Tuqiang asked with concern if he was not used to the food in Gusu, and if he was not used to it, come back early.

Grandma Ding said that the scenery in Gusu is very good, you can play for three or five days, and come back after playing.

Grandpa Qian sent three thumbs-up emojis.

Grandpa Wang's comment is relatively objective, recommending several Gusu specialty dishes in his memory, and reminiscing about the past by the way.

Qin Huai suddenly remembered that it was Grandpa Wang who found Zheng Da through an old colleague in Gusu. To thank Grandpa Wang, he made his favorite crab-shell-yellow pastries for several days in a row, but he had never been able to thank the old colleague who truly contacted Zheng Da.

This old colleague is also an important figure, without his contact, Qin Huai could not have known Zheng Da at all, nor could he have known Zheng Siyuan, let alone come to Huang Ji restaurant for exchange and learning today.

Now that he has come to Gusu, he must thank this middleman!

Qin Huai started to send messages to Grandpa Wang.

Qin Huai: Grandpa Wang, are you there?

Grandpa Wang replied in seconds.

Wang Gensheng (loves to eat crab-shell-yellow): Yes!

Qin Huai called directly, and Grandpa Wang also answered in seconds.

After explaining the situation, Grandpa Wang readily pushed his colleague's WeChat to Qin Huai, and by the way introduced the situation of this old colleague to Qin Huai.

"Old Qian was also an accountant in our factory before, later our factory's efficiency was not good, he found a way to transfer to the cotton textile factory."

"He should still live in the old place now, I heard that Huang Ji is opened nearby. I haven't seen Old Qian for many years, I only saw him once seven or eight years ago when his son got married, but I heard that he is a regular customer of Huang Ji, basically eating away his pension every month."

"Xiao Qin, if you are willing to take care of Old Qian, it's also very good, I also have face when I go out. I will say hello to Old Qian first, you add him later."

Qin Huai asked: "Then Grandpa Wang, do you know Grandpa Qian's taste?"

"He just likes those flashy and expensive ones." Grandpa Wang said without hesitation, "When he was young, he liked to follow the trend and be fashionable, saving money and buying leather shoes with more than half a year's salary. If you want to thank him, it's definitely right to make him something flashy."

Qin Huai felt he had a number in his heart after hearing Grandpa Wang say this, expressed he understood, and got up to go to Huang Ji.

On the way to Huang Ji, Qin Huai added Grandpa Qian's WeChat, the WeChat name is very simple, directly using his real name.

Qian Zhongheng, even the WeChat avatar is his own photo.

Qin Huai glanced at the photo and felt a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere in the past two days.

Qin Huai walked to the entrance of Huang Ji, the door was not open, which is normal. It is 7:28, even Zheng Siyuan couldn't arrive at Huang Ji so early, he lives a bit far from Huang Ji.

Qin Huai opened the door with the key, brought the door, and entered the kitchen to knead the dough.

Qin Huai had already set the menu for today before leaving yesterday.

Just two items, fermented rice steamed buns and dream-fulfilling shaobing, nothing more.

Qin Huai left early yesterday, so he didn't know how the remaining pastries were sold in the evening. However, yesterday's explosive sales taught Qin Huai one thing: as a pastry chef at Huang Ji, a pastry chef whose level is above the average level of his peers, he cannot make too many types of pastries in a day.

Huang Ji's customers really buy if there are pastries.

They are even a bit irrational when grabbing.

Buying pastries can make people feel like a long drought meeting sweet dew.

Making less like Zheng Siyuan, selling two items a day, is the correct choice.

Qin Huai spent some thought on choosing these two pastries.

First of all, he has great confidence in his fermented rice steamed buns and dream-fulfilling shaobing. Fermented rice steamed buns are buff dishes, but they are also limited to the first 3 trays. Excluding the buff feature, fermented rice steamed buns are also Qin Huai's most skilled pastry, none of them. For Qin Huai, fermented rice steamed buns are a perfect pastry that avoids weaknesses and develops strengths, basically requiring no heat control, and no finger techniques. It is one of the few pastries that Qin Huai is good at, and Zheng Siyuan is also quite good at, but Qin Huai can completely defeat Zheng Siyuan.

And I don't know if it's Qin Huai's illusion, he feels that Huang Shengli seems to like this pastry very much.

Huang Shengli didn't come yesterday, so he didn't eat the fermented rice steamed buns made by Qin Huai. When Qin Huai made fermented rice steamed buns on the first day, he actually secretly looked at Huang Shengli's expression from afar, Qin Huai felt that he didn't seem to be eating steamed buns, but a bit like eating the past.

Eating steamed buns felt like Luo Jun drinking Chen Pi tea.

Huang Ji's customers are also very strange, their love for fermented rice steamed buns is far better than other pastries.

Are fermented rice steamed buns delicious? Of course delicious!

But comparing fermented rice steamed buns with four-joy dumplings, five-ding bao, dream-fulfilling shaobing, crab-shell-yellow, and Zheng Siyuan's fresh meat mooncakes, Qin Huai felt that it was not that delicious.

Especially Zheng Siyuan's fresh meat mooncakes, this is Zheng Siyuan's signature among signatures. Just this one mooncake can pin all of Qin Huai's pastries to the ground and beat them.

But yesterday noon, the sales of Zheng Siyuan's mooncakes were only 70% of Qin Huai's fermented rice steamed buns sales. It was only 70% because Qin Huai's fermented rice steamed buns were sold out, gone, not allowed to be sold, and the chef got off work and didn't do it.

Otherwise, Qin Huai didn't dare to think about how many fermented rice steamed buns could be sold in one noon.

When he was kneading dough to make steamed buns yesterday noon, he even thought about whether it was because Gusu is in the south, eating more pastry-like pastries, and not eating many steamed buns, so everyone bought so much because they were fresh.

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why fermented rice steamed buns at 18 each can make customers buy the momentum of old-dough steamed buns at 1.5 each.

Since Huang Ji's customers like it, Qin Huai feels that if he is tired, he is tired, just as a thank you to Huang Shengli for being willing to do it himself when his waist is not good, and guarding by his side in the afternoon to guide his heat control, making more of what customers like and can sell explosively, improving the passenger flow of Huang Ji restaurant.

Another pastry choice, dream-fulfilling shaobing, is because dream-fulfilling shaobing has a very important component, which is meat filling.

Although at the current stage, all the meat fillings of dream-fulfilling shaobing sold at Huang Ji cannot be stir-fried by Qin Huai.

But Qin Huai feels that this filling can be used as a standard.

When he can stir-fry meat filling of this level one day, or the dream-fulfilling shaobing made of the meat filling he stir-fried paired with hollow shaobing can satisfy Huang Ji's customers. When meat filling is no longer a dragging link, his heat control will graduate.

When stir-frying green vegetables yesterday afternoon, Qin Huai realized that having a control group is very important.

Only when the control group is excellent enough and qualified enough, people have goals and directions to struggle for.

Otherwise, if you don't know anything, have no purpose, and mess around like a headless fly, it is difficult to improve too much.

Qin Huai set the menu for today yesterday, but it doesn't mean he only makes these two dishes.

Coming to Huang Ji so early, he is going to make breakfast first.

This staff meal will not be the resident dishes of Yunzhong canteen, but dishes he rarely practices but has never forgotten.

Longevity noodles.

Qin Huai kneads the dough seriously.

If you really look into it, kneading dough actually has many ways. Different pastries need different dough, kneading dough is the same as heat control when stir-frying, it looks like it's the same thing, but in fact, only the chef himself knows how to control and distinguish it.

Three lights, perfect.

Qin Huai glanced at his phone, Qian Zhongheng passed his WeChat friend application.

Send a message to chat for a few words.

Hearing that Qin Huai is the new pastry chef who came to Huang Ji yesterday, Qian Zhongheng is very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that the text is about to fly out of the phone and kiss Qin Huai's face.

Qin Huai told Qian Zhongheng that he had prepared a thank-you gift for him, and asked him when he would have time to take it.

Qian Zhongheng said he was free at any time, and intended to come to Huang Ji for lunch at noon.

Qin Huai thought that was quite a coincidence, set a rough time, and prepared to steam noodle fruits at that time.

Yes, noodle fruits.

Grandpa Wang told Qin Huai that Qian Zhongheng likes flashy things, Qin Huai's first reaction was noodle fruits.

It is authentic noodle fruits, not the kind with meat filling inside.

Making authentic noodle fruits is indeed time-consuming and laborious, but as long as the quantity is not large, it can be done as a pastime.

Qin Huai now has no problems with the shape and skin of apple noodle fruits, but he doesn't know how to adjust the filling very well, because he hasn't adjusted the normal ones much.

But it's not a big problem, just let Zheng Siyuan help adjust it.

After replying to the message, Qin Huai started to rub the dough.

Longevity noodles are one bowl of noodles and one root of noodles, the noodles shouldn't be too thin, thick noodles are chewy. Technically it might be inferior to stretched noodles, but it also has a certain difficulty.

Qin Huai remembers the approximate number of Huang Ji's staff, prepared to quantify according to the number of people, and made a few more bowls just in case, anyway, someone will definitely eat.

When Zheng Siyuan arrived, Qin Huai was seriously rubbing the noodles.

"How did you think of making noodles this morning?" Zheng Siyuan was a bit surprised.

He always thought that Qin Huai, as a breakfast shop chef, was good at baozi, steamed buns, and dumplings, but didn't expect he had other unique skills, and could even make noodles.

Worthy of being an all-around breakfast chef.

"The old Mr. Luo who gave me the fruit recipe actually also gave me an egg noodle recipe, I haven't had time to practice before, when I was in Yunzhong canteen, I was too busy in the morning, and had to practice other things in the afternoon, you know."

"Now that I have changed places, I want to practice this new recipe."

Qin Huai felt that Luo Jun was really easy to use, all recipes that couldn't be explained by the pastry encyclopedia could be explained by Luo Jun.

Bifang is really comprehensive.

Because drinking Chen Pi tea has developed the habit of getting up early, but there is no Chen Pi tea to drink after getting up, and Luo Jun, who is watching TV very unhappily, sneezed.

Luo Jun: Who is dissing me?

Zheng Siyuan in Huang Ji's kitchen, didn't know that the omnipotent old Mr. Luo in the distant Yunzhong residential area was rubbing his nose, didn't think much, said: "So that's it, you can also practice new pastries by making staff meals, why didn't I think of it."

"What are you making this morning?" Qin Huai asked.

"Bubble wontons and crepe wontons." Zheng Siyuan said, washed his hands and worked, "Used to it, if I don't wrap some wontons when I get up early in the morning, I always feel uncomfortable all over."

The initiator Qin Huai continued to rub the noodles.

"Oh right." Qin Huai put the rubbed noodles into the bowl, "Do you have time to help me make some apple noodle fruit filling around 10:30?"

"Apple noodle fruit?" Zheng Siyuan looked at Qin Huai incredibly, his face full of the expression that you hadn't learned enough lessons yesterday, and you still dare to seek death today, "My father wouldn't dare to sell apple noodle fruits at Huang Ji."

"The rules set by Master, as long as the dishes at Huang Ji are on the menu, there is no limit to purchase, only sold out, no limit."

"Master feels that customers coming to eat is giving Huang Ji face, what they want to eat and how much they order is the customer's right and freedom, as long as they eat it, it doesn't count as waste. After all, the price of Huang Ji's dishes is here, few people will order a pile of dishes at a high price and pack them back without eating."

"It's not on the menu, it's that a friend is coming to Huang Ji to eat today, I owe him a favor, specifically making apple noodle fruits to thank him."

Zheng Siyuan understood, special cooking.

What Qin Huai did every day at Yunzhong canteen.

"How many noodle fruits?"

"6."

Grandpa Wang told Qin Huai that Qian Zhongheng's family of five, Qin Huai felt that the number 5 is not very good, 6 is better to hear, Qian Zhongheng as a middleman eating two is not excessive.

"Okay." Zheng Siyuan agreed, "A matter of hand."

Tired today, short two-in-one
