"Ding, congratulations on obtaining a new side quest 【Taste of Memory 3】, please check it on the task panel."

Qin Huai was emptying his mind and kneading dough in front of the culinary table, and the game prompt sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Taste of Memory 3】?

This side quest is too serial!

1 and 2 haven't been completed yet, 3 is brushed out, this game didn't consider whether the player can complete the task at all, right?

Qin Huai put the kneaded dough aside, the helper quickly took the dough and put it on a special table, and put a timer in front of the dough.

Qin Huai shook his hands, thought about it, it is a bit too arrogant to open the task panel to view game tasks in a strange environment, it is better to go to the toilet to see it low-key.

Because of excessive pressure, he often fantasizes that he has a system, will issue tasks to complete tasks, this kind of behavior that sounds like a mental patient, just spread it in a small range inside Yunzhong canteen, it is not polite to spread it to Huang Ji restaurant.

"I'm going to the toilet." Qin Huai threw down this sentence and walked towards the kitchen door.

Huang Ji restaurant has a special staff toilet, on the 1st floor.

Just walking to the door, Qin Huai heard that there seemed to be a dispute outside the lobby. Saying it is a dispute is not very appropriate, because they didn't quarrel, just one side's voice was relatively loud.

Qin Huai faintly heard something about Zheng Da, noodles.

Zheng Da's gossip?

Have to listen.

Qin Huai approached that side.

The two sides of the dispute were Gong Liang and Huang Jia, the two were not arguing in public, in a corner far from the guest seat, but this corner happened to be at the kitchen door, very convenient for Qin Huai to squat at the door and listen to two sentences.

"Mr. Gong, just now Master Zheng already made a video call to explain clearly to you. Our Huang Ji indeed has a new pastry chef surnamed Qin, not Master Zheng, the noodle fruit at noon today is really a non-sale item. That is Chef Qin's friend, Chef Qin specifically made it privately to entertain friends, you must understand this situation."

"Really can't sell it, and the three-head banquet can't be done either. Even if my master's waist is good, this complete three-head banquet can't be done in the short term. If you are really celebrating your 60th birthday, then no matter what, Huang Ji will prepare the three-head banquet for you, and specifically invite more professional chefs from Zhi Wei Ju to come over to make boat dim sum."

"But your 55-year-old celebrating your 60th birthday in advance is what kind of birthday banquet? You are a bit unreasonable." Huang Jia explained the situation nicely.

Gong Liang said with reason: "Celebrating in advance is also celebrating, your master's waist is always not good, isn't it because he is stubborn and disobedient, slightly better and then complacent and then cooking. Told him to raise it more, we are not in a hurry, he doesn't listen, repeatedly made it into this appearance."

"I and your master can be considered a friendship of wearing open-crotch pants together since childhood, being neighbors for so many years, I really want to eat a three-head banquet. Really can't, don't set up many tables, just do my table, okay? I will pay for 20 tables!"

"Mr. Gong, there is no such precedent, and there is no such reason to sell dishes." Huang Jia tried to stop Gong Liang's crazy money-sprinkling behavior, "We all know your heart to support Huang Ji, but those three wedding banquets you had before can make us very troubled."

Gong Liang lowered his voice slightly guilty: "So I didn't change it to a birthday banquet."

Huang Jia:...

Is there a difference???

Huang Jia sighed, feeling his heart was very tired.

Huang Jia turned his head and saw Qin Huai in the corner.

Huang Jia:!

Qin Huai:?

Huang Jia hurriedly pointed to Qin Huai, enthusiastically introduced: "Mr. Gong, this is the new pastry chef of our restaurant, Chef Qin, Qin Huai. The new pastries you bought yesterday, fermented rice steamed buns, five-ding bao, are all made by Chef Qin."

Gong Liang hurriedly greeted enthusiastically, held Qin Huai's hand, and said excitedly: "Chef Qin, long admired your name, finally met you! I specifically came to buy many pastries yesterday, afraid that you would only come to communicate for one day and wouldn't be able to eat it later, didn't expect you to join Huang Ji restaurant, it's really too surprising. As long as I think that I can eat such delicious pastries every day in the future, I, Gong Liang, really want to wake up laughing in my dreams!"

"I like every pastry you make, especially fermented rice steamed buns, I can't count how many years I haven't eaten such excellent fermented rice steamed buns!"

"I just saw the apple noodle fruit you made by hand, that skill, that shape, that appearance, it is simply a masterpiece of craftsmanship and master!"

"If I hadn't seen you in person, I really wouldn't believe that you are such a young and promising pastry chef."

"To tell you the truth, I also have a request. It's like this, I have a goddaughter, getting engaged in a while. The man is from another place, the in-laws are very interested in the pastries in Gusu, and of course they have to be entertained well when they come."

"My goddaughter has no connections, this matter begged me. I have long heard that your noodle fruit level is very high, today I saw it, and I know it is really well-deserved. I don't know if you have time to help make a batch of noodle fruits, if possible, it would be better to make a few samples first so that we have a number in our hearts."

"The engagement day is next month, I don't know if you have time during this period?"

Facing Gong Liang's zero-frame start, Qin Huai was slightly stunned, and immediately heard the content in Gong Liang's long string of beautiful words that basically had no information, most likely nine truths and one lie.

Goddaughter engagement might be true, but noodle fruits...

Qin Huai smiled slightly, who is not a master of lies.

"Oh, this..." Qin Huai showed an expression of being stunned by a long string of language offensive, "The types of noodle fruits I am good at are also very limited, maybe not very presentable."

Seeing Gong Liang still wanting to speak, Qin Huai immediately followed: "Why don't we add a WeChat."

This big logo, must be a big customer, adding WeChat is definitely right.

Gong Liang immediately took out his mobile phone to add WeChat, after adding WeChat, Qin Huai used a trick of urine escape to immediately cicada shell, throwing the problem to Huang Jia.

Huang Jia:...

Huang Jia could only continue to battle with Gong Liang, and at the same time reflect on whether his skills were really not good, why no customers ordered his signature dishes, can he go in and stir-fry two dishes?

Qin Huai, who heard a wonderful gossip, entered the toilet, walked into the compartment, closed the door and locked the door, and clicked on the game panel.

Side quest:

3. 【Taste of Memory 3】: As a gold-medal salesman of the weaving factory, Gong Liang has been known for his glib tongue for many years, relying on a glib mouth to walk the world. But no one knows that Gong Liang's original intention of becoming a gold-medal salesman was just to earn enough bonuses one day, realize the freedom of eating pastries, eat and eat the neighbor, the pastries made by Master Jing, the master of the state-run restaurant. Unfortunately, after Gong Liang became a gold-medal salesman, he only ate crab-yellow shaomai for a month, and Master Jing retired. Since then, that month of crab-yellow shaomai has become an indelible taste in his memory. Please ask the player to make crab-yellow shaomai that Gong Liang recognizes, and relive the taste of memory.

Task reward: 【A memory of Gong Liang】, popularity drainage +2000 (Choice: Yes/No)

Qin Huai:!

So moved, family members, he finally received a normal side quest that clearly told him what to do!

Heavens, this is the task that a normal player should do!

Riddle man task get out of the game system!

And the task reward is also very rich, directly adding 2000 popularity drainage, it can be seen that Gong Liang may indeed be very popular and very drainage.

Since the task was touched from Gong Liang, then Gong Liang is most likely a monster. Qin Huai clicked on the illustration again and found that it was indeed the case.

Unlocked a new illustration again.

Name: Gong Liang

Species: Unknown

Status: Awakening

Memory: 0/?

Recipe: None

Gift: None

Qin Huai couldn't figure out what the awakening status meant, sent a message to ask Luo Jun, Luo Jun didn't reply, estimated that he was watching TV and didn't look at the phone.

Now Qin Huai and Gong Liang only have WeChat friendship, not familiar, the task is not urgent, so Qin Huai didn't call and chose to go back to continue working.

When Qin Huai came out of the toilet and returned to the kitchen, Huang Jia and Gong Liang were no longer at the kitchen door, presumably the battle had ended.

Qin Huai walked into the kitchen, Huang Jia was deboning the pig head, the hot pig head just taken out of the pressure cooker, wearing gloves and deboning by hand, can be described as a ruthless iron hand.

Qin Huai glanced at the pig head, it looked really stewed very soft and Q-elastic, completely stained with sauce color, giving people the feeling that the marinade had penetrated into the meat.

Such a big pig head, deboned, if you take a bite.

Slurp.

Can't think, can't think.

Qin Huai went to rub the dough that had finished fermentation and was waiting for secondary fermentation, and by the way grabbed the passing Dong Shi to ask for some gossip.

Dong Shi is a pier chef, mainly responsible for cutting and matching, and will also help to hit the hand when busy, running errands, taking things, plating, etc. Usually, it is busy before the business officially starts, and it will be a little more leisurely after the business starts.

Dong Shi has already started running errands.

As a closed-door disciple, Dong Shi often does various errand work.

"Dong Shi, do you know who the Mr. Gong Liang outside just now is?" Qin Huai asked.

As a super chatterbox who can't control his mouth at all, usually Qin Huai doesn't ask Dong Shi, Dong Shi will take the initiative to share gossip with him, let alone Qin Huai asking now.

Dong Shi directly grabbed the work of doing chores beside Qin Huai, small mouth babbling: "Of course I know, our shop's most famous customer!"

"The one I told you about who had many wedding banquets last time is him."

"I heard he was a salesman at the weaving factory before." Qin Huai asked tentatively.

"That's right." Dong Shi nodded, "Sales section chief of the weaving factory, the first batch to go into business, now doing silk business, very rich. I heard that the start-up capital for Master Zheng to go into business back then was borrowed from him, and the money for my master to buy the state-run restaurant was also borrowed from him, he is my master and uncle's childhood friend, seems to be a neighbor." "Neighbor?" Qin Huai grabbed the keyword.

"Sort of." Dong Shi was also not very sure, "I also heard it. My master and uncle lived in my master's house when they were learning art, Mr. Gong is my master's neighbor."

"When my master had an accident back then, the coal stove fell and pressed on his leg, it was also Mr. Gong who helped send my master to the hospital."

"Mr. Gong has been taking care of Huang Ji's business very much over the years, as long as it is a business banquet, it must be at Huang Ji, and he also introduced many business partners to eat at Huang Ji."

"Even during the New Year, Mr. Gong will give us red envelopes. My master's health has not been good in the past two years, and Mr. Gong also introduced powerful doctors."

"He is actually quite good, and he is very familiar with everyone. It's just that Mr. Gong's mouth is too good at talking. Black can be said to be white. Originally, such an outrageous thing as three wedding banquets definitely couldn't be undertaken, but the result was that Master was forcibly persuaded by Mr. Gong."

"Mr. Gong himself is very good at soft grinding and hard bubble, as long as he finds an opportunity, he wants to get some good things to open a small stove for him. Sometimes I feel that he may not want it so much, just seeing the opportunity and feeling that it is a waste not to say two sentences."

"But sometimes I really feel that Mr. Gong is very powerful. Master Zheng hasn't cooked much over the years, right? Master Zheng makes pastries at Huang Ji, 10 times out of 8 it is for Mr. Gong. Not to mention during the New Year, Mr. Gong's New Year's Eve dinner is a specially customized three-head banquet cooked by Master himself, for more than 20 years, every year."

Qin Huai understood, there is no meal that the gold-medal salesman in this world cannot eat.

"Then does Mr. Gong have any pastries he likes to eat? Breakfast is also okay, baozi, steamed buns, shaomai, etc." Qin Huai asked, "I remember your crab-yellow shaomai here in Gusu seems to be quite famous."

Dong Shi didn't realize that Qin Huai was forcibly leading the topic to crab-yellow shaomai, nodded and said: "It is quite famous, many shops have it for sale, I ate it in the morning a while ago, but I don't like eating shaomai very much."

"It's too dry to eat, not as good as eating crab-yellow soup bao. But crab-yellow soup bao is too expensive, many crab-yellow soup bao are expensive and not delicious, it's better to eat some baozi, steamed buns and soup noodles casually."

"Eh, Qin Huai, will you make crab-yellow shaomai? I remember you seem to have made baozi, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, just shaomai haven't been made. Does your community canteen sell shaomai usually? Do you eat more powder noodles there in the morning, or eat more baozi, steamed buns?"

"I can make shaomai, but I can't make crab-yellow shaomai." Qin Huai said honestly, he really can't make crab-yellow shaomai, when Qin Luo wanted to eat shaomai before, what she wanted to eat was mutton shaomai.

It's all the problem of those palace fighting dramas, didn't give crab-yellow shaomai a shot.

However, Qin Huai felt that shaomai should be about the same, he can make meat-filled shaomai, and also can make glutinous rice-filled shaomai, learning crab-yellow shaomai is just a matter of time.

But the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Huang Shengli and Zheng Da were both taught by Jing Lixiang, these two disciples who Qin Huai felt had high enough skills only learned 60-70% of the master's skills, Qin Huai didn't dare to think about what realm Master Jing's own skills were high to.

The shaomai made is estimated to be at least an A+.

Thinking about it, Gong Liang's task is actually more difficult, A+ grade shaomai, Qin Huai can't make it even if he takes his head.

Qin Huai sighed sadly, Dong Shi, who was still babbling about gossip, stopped and glanced at him, thinking that he didn't tell any sad gossip.

"If you want to eat crab-yellow shaomai, I can learn during this time, and make it for you after I learn it." Qin Huai said.

Dong Shi:?

Dong Shi:!

Dong Shi: (*/w\*)

In an instant, Dong Shi was even a bit moved.

Qin Huai was actually willing to learn crab-yellow shaomai for his casual words, and said he would make it for him after learning it!

At this moment, Dong Shi didn't want Dong Li to be his brother.

He wanted to be Qin Huai's younger brother.

Brother, younger brother has waited for you so bitterly these years!

At the same time, Qin Luo, who had just finished lunch in the canteen of Shuanghai High School, took out the calendar given by Zhao Rong for buying insurance from her schoolbag and put an x on today's date.

Qin Luo counted the days, there are 27 days left.

Her brother said, go to Gusu for a month, and come back after a month.

These 3 days are very hard to endure, but as long as you endure 27 more days, you can eat the five-ding bao, fermented rice steamed buns, crab-shell-yellow, fruits, Jiang Mi New Year cake... a series of pastries made by her brother!

Qin Luo looked up slightly, only in this way would tears not fall, feeling that she was very like the heroine in the bitter drama at this moment, although it was not yet a festival, and she was not facing the moon, but she really missed her relatives very much.

Brother, I miss you so much!

"Wuhu, off work, eat!"

The relative didn't feel the sister's missing at all, finished brushing the last 6 apple noodle fruits and happily got off work, even wanting to squeeze to the stove to see what to eat at noon today.

Qin Huai felt that the staff meal at noon today was probably not made by Huang Jia.

Huang Jia is busy.

Braised whole pig head is about to enter the final thickening part, the deboned pig head is placed on a new plate, poured with a few spoonfuls of marinade left over from stewing before and then steamed. The remaining marinade will not be wasted, boiled into a thick soup that can be used for thickening, and poured on it when the pig head comes out of the pot, finishing touch.

Huang Jia is boiling the final soup.

Meat fragrance overflows.

The pig head was stewed in the marinade for 4 hours, not only the taste of the marinade penetrated into the pig head, but the meat fragrance of the pig head also penetrated into the marinade.

Blending with each other, combining the two, Huang Jia was simply fragrant when boiling the soup, so fragrant that Qin Huai wanted to go outside to find a braised meat shop and buy some pig head meat to eat.

Can't eat braised whole pig head, can't you eat some braised pig head meat?

Qin Huai was a bit eager to move.

The chef responsible for the staff meal is stir-frying fried rice.

Yangzhou fried rice, very fragrant.

Qin Huai started to think about whether pig head meat paired with fried rice would be delicious.

Fried rice is out of the pot.

Braised whole pig head is also out of the pot.

Huang Jia took the steamed pig head out of the steamer, buckled it on a new plate, laid a whole circle of fresh vegetable hearts around the pig head, placed mushrooms, and finally poured a spoonful of thick soup.

"Slurp."

This is the sound of Qin Huai drooling in his heart.

At this moment, Qin Huai understood a little, why Gong Liang clearly could eat good dishes during the New Year, usually when he had nothing to do, once there was an opportunity, he still wanted to try soft grinding and hard bubble to see if he could get something good.

Who dislikes too much delicious food.

Gong Liang is also not short of money.

Eh, why are these monsters not short of money?

These rich monsters really make Qu Jing look very bad.

A plate of braised whole pig head with color, fragrance and taste was born.

Huang Jia didn't idle, and started stir-frying green vegetables again.

Qin Huai found that there was no chef picking up the load to pass the dishes.

"Eh, why is there no one passing dishes? Isn't this ordered by Gong Liang's private room?" Qin Huai asked Zheng Siyuan.

"No." Zheng Siyuan held a plate of fermented rice steamed buns that had just been steamed and were still steaming, and placed them beside the braised whole pig head, "This is our staff meal!"

Qin Huai:!

Two minutes later, stir-fried green vegetables are out of the pot.

The dishes are ready.

Huang Jia smiled: "Braised whole pig head took some time, I feel that you two should have no extra appetite to eat anything else after eating this dish, so I stir-fried a plate of simple green vegetables, the types of dishes today are a bit less, don't mind."

"My kung fu of making braised whole pig head is still not as good as Master's. If you have time during the New Year this year, Qin Huai, you can come to Gusu to taste the braised whole pig head made by my master, that level is much stronger than mine."

"Mm-hmm-hmm!" Qin Huai was already holding bowls and chopsticks, his mouth full of pig head meat, and could only use some vague tone particles to express his approval, praise, and determination to come to Gusu during the New Year.

Zheng Siyuan handed Qin Huai a steamed bun.

"It's better to eat with steamed buns." Zheng Siyuan said, "It's eaten like this every year during the New Year."

"If you don't mind, you can dip the steamed bun in the soup, but I feel that it destroys the taste of fermented rice steamed buns a bit, my father likes to eat it like this."

Qin Huai: Like, all like, like to eat no matter how! ヾ(≧o≦)

I like Huang Ji's staff meal too much!

He must work well at Huang Ji!
