Chapter 186: Good Teaching Videos Should Be Watched Again and Again
Since he obtained two S- grade recipes, Qin Huai naturally had to study the teaching videos carefully.
After the tea party ended, Qin Huai carried the best of the premium fruits carefully selected by Chen Huihong, eating a banana while strolling home.
When exiting the elevator, Qin Huai happened to run into a neighbor who was standing at the door for some reason in mid-December to open the door for ventilation. Qin Huai didn't understand but respected, smiled at the neighbor, opened the door, and went home.
The neighbor excitedly took a photo and forwarded it, telling everyone that Master Xiao Qin had really returned and had come home to live!
Having not returned for a long time, Qin Huai felt a bit strange when he first entered the house.
How to put it, he didn't see the latest smart furniture purchased by Gong Liang all over the house as soon as he entered the door, which was a bit uncomfortable.
When Qin Huai entered the door, he shouted: XX, turn on the lights. There was no response, which made him very embarrassed in the dark.
Qin Huai silently turned on the lights manually and went to the refrigerator to put away the fruits.
As soon as the refrigerator door opened, it was full.
There was everything.
Fruits, cheese sticks, fresh milk, bird's nest, cordyceps, bottled tonics that needed refrigeration.
The freezer was also full—popsicles, steak, lamb chops, XX black pork, black tiger shrimp...
Chen Huihong hadn't launched fewer group purchases during this period. She didn't cook, so could she finish eating so many ingredients?
Qin Huai took a photo and sent it to Chen Huihong.
Chen Huihong: Oh my, Xiao Qin, I forgot you were coming back and forgot to take your things away. Look at whatever you like and eat it, don't be polite. I'll come and take them away tomorrow.
Qin Huai: No need, Sister Hong, you can keep putting them there. I have to leave in a few days.
Qin Huai stuffed the fruits in, took out a cheese stick that he knew at a glance was eaten by Chen Huihui, walked to the living room while eating, sat on the sofa, half-lying, clicked on the game panel, and started watching the teaching video.
Although crab roe shumai was difficult to practice due to ingredients, Qin Huai still watched the crab roe shumai teaching video first.
He was familiar with this! It felt intimate watching it.
The video tutorial was the production process Qin Huai saw in his memory. The close-up of Jiang Weijin's hands in the video tutorial was enlarged, allowing Qin Huai to see it more clearly.
He saw clearly how Jiang Weijin kneaded the dough, peeled the crab, peeled the shrimp, processed the crab roe, stirred, and added seasonings.
Every detail, every movement was all clear.
It might be because Jiang Weijin couldn't focus on making dim sum while chatting with Gong Liang when making crab roe steamed dumplings, so his movements were actually slow. They weren't movements deliberately slowed down for teaching, but they were slow just right.
It was also a teaching video that only showed without explanation. Jiang Weijin's teaching and Zheng Da's teaching were simply...
Qin Huai could only say that even if Master Zheng didn't practice his eloquence, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
Qin Huai originally planned to watch the crab roe shumai teaching video once and then go to watch San Ding Bao, but the more he watched, the more addicted he became. He watched it once, twice, three times... until he watched it for the fifth time, he clicked on the San Ding Bao teaching video with unfinished interest.
The beginning of the San Ding Bao teaching video was kneading dough. Qin Huai didn't see this part in his memory. When Gong Liang arrived at the state-run restaurant, the dough was already leavened on the cutting board.
According to time estimation, Jiang Weijin probably started kneading the dough during the lunch business hours.
The environment for watching the teaching video was indeed so. The video was still a close-up of Jiang Weijin's hands, but the environment was very noisy. One could hear the sounds of ordering food, serving food, walking, and the crackling sound of firewood burning in the stove.
The dough for San Ding Bao had to be kneaded very soft. When kneading the dough, one had to use strength, use clever strength. To use a more mysterious word, it was to use technique, to make the dough in hand obedient.
"Master, is your dim sum encouragement method useful? I climbed on the wall and listened all night last night. There was no sound at all in Gong Liang's house. I guess he was dazed all night when he went home last night. I think San Ding Bao is probably still not working. Why don't you make Wu Ding Bao for him? I'll pay some money too!" Zheng Da's voice came.
"How much money do you have? You just got a month's formal employee wages after becoming a regular employee. When you were an apprentice, your mom asked you to hand in 8 yuan every month, and you had to bargain to give only 5 yuan. When Uncle Gong was rescued, you already stuffed your small treasury to Gong Liang. Where did you get the money to sponsor?" This was Huang Shengli's voice.
"How come I don't have money? I still have the New Year money Master gave me over the years. I can also go to my mom for money! I haven't eaten or drunk at home all these years. I live at Master's house. Why should I still hand in 5 yuan? I'll go and take back the money I handed in over the years tomorrow!"
"Forget it, save that little money of yours to marry a wife. Master, I think Junior Brother makes sense. San Ding Bao might not have a good effect, so let's make Wu Ding Bao. I'll pay for the sea cucumber!"
"Huang Shengli, you..."
"Alright, alright, what's there to argue about between you two. How much money do you two make in a month? Young people can't control money, and there will be many places to spend money in the future. He said he wanted to eat meat buns yesterday, so I made Three-Ingredient Buns for him. If Three-Ingredient Buns has no effect, I'll make Five-Ingredient Buns in two days." Jiang Weijin smiled, "Don't chat and be lazy here, go to work."
Qin Huai heard two cold snorts of dissatisfaction from different directions.
Jiang Weijin was still kneading the dough.
Suddenly, a strange but slightly familiar voice came: "Master Jing, are you going to make a sea cucumber dish? I have some dried sea cucumbers at home. Why don't I bring them over tomorrow."
"No need, no need, I also have a quota to buy. Don't be too tired either, just help pick some vegetables."
A minute later, Zheng Da's voice came again, this time in a lowered voice: "Master, the factory director's son wants to stay in our state-run restaurant. Can his family agree? Now the efficiency of the cotton textile factory is the best here. His family shouldn't be short of food. Why do they want to come to our state-run restaurant so much."
"You talk too much, go to work." Jiang Weijin scolded with a smile, his voice becoming serious, "That is someone else's family affair, talk less about it."
Qin Huai remembered. That strange voice should be the young man who had a good attitude and smiled and pointed to the kitchen direction for Gong Liang. Qin Huai didn't pay attention in his memory, but he didn't expect it to be the son of the cotton textile factory director.
Even the factory director's son wanted to stay in the state-run restaurant to work. Jiang Weijin's charm was really big.
Also, S- grade dim sum was indeed worth it.
Qin Huai was very familiar with the plot after kneading the dough. Jiang Weijin probably went to eat during the leavening time. Gong Liang arrived not long after the dough was leavened, and the time was calculated very accurately.
Qin Huai had seen the remaining production process in his memory. When watching the close-up teaching video again, Qin Huai still couldn't help but sigh that this technique was truly nothing to say.
Comprehensive, truly very comprehensive!
San Ding Bao made with this kind of craftsmanship, selling for 99—no, selling for 199 was not too much!
It was no wonder Gong Liang not only looked down on the dim sum made by Zheng Siyuan, but sometimes also looked down on the dim sum made by Zheng Da. He had eaten too well when he was young, and it would be a ghost if he could look down on them.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Huai felt that Gong Liang was also true love for his craftsmanship. He could even bite the bullet and eat the crab roe shumai he made at the beginning that had overturned, and even ate three.
Thinking about it this way, he was a bit moved.
Qin Huai watched the San Ding Bao teaching video again and again, unable to stop at all. By the time he reached the end, he didn't even remember how many times he had watched it.
When Qin Huai exited the game interface with unfinished interest, he looked at the time—eh, it was 12 o'clock.
This time was a serious late night for a breakfast shop master.
Even though Qin Huai had been at Huang Ji during this period, getting up relatively late and going to bed relatively late, this time was also late night.
Qin Huai yawned, got up to wash, and went to sleep.
No dreams all night.
Because he didn't set an alarm, Qin Huai slept until he woke up naturally the next day. When he woke up, it was already 8 o'clock.
When Qin Huai first saw the time, he thought he had misread it. He looked at the WeChat message and found that Qin Luo had started sending him messages from 6 o'clock, sending until 7 o'clock, and gradually became crazy after 7:30, even wanting to call the police.
Of course, she could only think about it.
Qin Huai hurriedly replied to Qin Luo saying he got up late, changed clothes, washed, and headed to the Yunzhong cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, Qin Luo and the grandpas and grandmas who were morning jogging had already waited until their eyes were worn out.
Today was Sunday, and even the most vicious 996 big factories didn't work today.
Under normal circumstances, Sunday was the most miserable day for the Yunzhong cafeteria.
The guests of the Yunzhong cafeteria were generally composed of office workers in the surrounding office buildings and nearby residents. Office workers were definitely the main force, whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Therefore, the business of the Yunzhong cafeteria was like the convenience store at the bottom of the office building—full on weekdays and miserable on rest days.
Of course, this misery was only relative.
For example, today, it had nothing to do with misery.
At 8 o'clock on the morning of a rest day, the Yunzhong cafeteria was full of people. The first floor couldn't sit, and even the second floor was full.
Among these people, there were morning jogging grandpas who arrived at the cafeteria in the first batch at 6 o'clock, student parties who were used to getting up early and coming to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, nearby residents who forced themselves to get up early on rest days to eat breakfast, and office workers who came to the company's surroundings even if they didn't work after a one-hour subway commute.
These people, whether they arrived at 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock, waited in the cafeteria until 8 o'clock.
None of them had eaten breakfast.
They basically turned a blind eye to the breakfast made by Qin Congwen and Chen An.
Fortunately, these two people had good psychological quality, otherwise they would have been autistic long ago. However, not only did the diners waiting for food not eat, but Qin Congwen and Chen An also didn't eat; they were also waiting for Qin Huai to come.
Qin Huai was stunned when he arrived at the Yunzhong cafeteria.
What's going on? Was the breakfast in Shanshi limited? Were other breakfast shops not allowed to sell buns and steamed buns? Why was the cafeteria full of people at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Did the guests from Gusu chase over?
Qin Huai looked closely at the eager faces.
It was okay; they weren't guests from Gusu. At first glance, many of them were neighbors of the Yunzhong cafeteria.
The world was still normal.
"Brother, why are you so late? I'm almost starving to death. If you don't come, the crispy cake will be eaten by me!" Qin Luo pounced like a tiger, ran out of the cafeteria, grabbed Qin Huai's arm, and cried, "Fortunately, you replied to my message, otherwise everyone couldn't wait to eat the buns made by Dad and Brother An."
Qin Huai:......
Look at what you said, how presumptuous.
Qin Huai was held by Qin Luo on his right arm, so he could only raise his left hand to greet the neighbors and loyal diners with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I just came back yesterday and slept late, so I got up late this morning."
"It's okay, it's okay, Master Xiao Qin, your rest is the most important!"
"That's right, Master Xiao Qin was too tired from the journey yesterday, he definitely couldn't get up early today, we all guessed it."
"Master Xiao Qin, your rest is the most important, we are just used to getting up early."
"Right, right, right, the mall is having a sale today, we are just sitting here waiting for the mall to open."
"Ah, is the mall having a sale?"
"Shut up!"
Qin Huai could only smile apologetically, go to the changing room to change clothes, and enter the kitchen.
At this moment, in the kitchen, not only were Chen An, Qin Congwen, and the helpers led by An Youyou there, but Both Pei Xing and Li Hua had also arrived and were making fillings.
Looking at their progress in making dim sum, they should have come to work early. According to the normal time of 8 o'clock, they should still be leavening the dough at this time.
The little tail Qin Luo also followed into the kitchen and asked eagerly: "Brother, what are we eating this morning?"
"San Ding Bao." Qin Huai said without thinking.
Originally, Qin Huai didn't plan to come back to make San Ding Bao. The buns on the menu he listed were Wu Ding Bao.
But now the situation had changed, right? San Ding Bao ushered in an epic enhancement. He was so fascinated by the San Ding Bao tutorial last night that he stayed up late. If he didn't make San Ding Bao this morning, he would be sorry for the rare late night.
Qin Luo didn't know that Qin Huai had already listed the dim sum menu he wanted to make for her before returning. She only knew that San Ding Bao was a meat bun, meat filling, delicious!
Better than the meat buns made by Qin Congwen.
Love to eat!
Qin Luo happily went to the corner to eat crispy cake.
But Qin Huai didn't let her go either.
"Did you finish your homework?" Qin Huai asked Qin Luo, and Zhao Rong immediately cast a sharp knife-like look at Qin Luo.
"I..." Qin Luo opened her mouth, wanting to say that doing homework on an empty stomach was not good for her.
"Didn't you hear what your brother said? Go do your homework first. Your brother just arrived, and it will take time for the dough to leaven. It will probably be more than an hour before the buns are out of the pot. You didn't do your homework well yesterday, go do your homework first, and come over to eat when the buns are out of the pot." Zhao Rong said sternly.
Qin Luo: qaq
Qin Luo sadly went to the second floor to do her homework.
Qin Huai began to knead the dough. When kneading the dough, his mind was full of the teaching video he watched last night.
Jiang Weijin's movements of kneading the dough were truly too beautiful—skillful, seasoned, every point was right, and every strength was used very cleverly.
It might be because Jiang Weijin was lame in one leg, not as easy to exert force as a normal person, and because he was over 50 years old and his physical functions were gradually declining, Jiang Weijin used strength very cleverly when kneading the dough, almost achieving kneading the most appropriate dough with the least strength.
The technical content was directly pulled to the full.
Not to mention that he was kneading the dough for San Ding Bao.
Qin Huai was not watching online classes for the first time. As someone who was very good at taking online classes, after watching online classes for a whole night, his first reaction when kneading dough this morning was to imitate the movements Jiang Weijin used when kneading dough last night.
Saying imitating movements was not very accurate; to be precise, it was looking for his force-exerting technique.
Therefore, Qin Huai's movements were slightly exaggerated when kneading the dough this morning.
Chen An didn't see it. He was originally an ordinary breakfast master. His technique was a little bit better than the masters of ordinary breakfast shops, and he was not from a professional background. Standing on the side of Qin Huai every morning to knead dough and steal learning, he might not be able to learn much. Now that he hadn't seen Qin Huai for more than a month, it would be a ghost if he could see something different when watching him knead dough.
Chen An couldn't see it, but Both Pei Xing and Li Hua could.
These two were professionals.
Both Pei Xing's eyes were about to stick to Qin Huai's hands and couldn't move away.
Li Hua gave him a look, Both Pei Xing restrained a little, but still couldn't help but whisper.
"Don't you feel that Qin Huai is a little different today from yesterday?"
"I'm not blind." Li Hua said, "But yesterday was kneading the dough for crab roe shumai. The requirement for the dough was not high, so he might not have used his full strength."
Both Pei Xing suddenly realized, feeling it made sense, and continued: "With this craftsmanship, how could he think of opening a community cafeteria at the entrance of the community?"
"If I had his craftsmanship, I wouldn't leave Does Zhi Wei Ju. I would walk sideways in Does Zhi Wei Ju!"
Ordinary people saying this might be an exaggerated expression, but Both Pei Xing said this, and Li Hua believed he really wanted to do so.
"Who knows." Li Hua said lightly, "It is rumored that Zheng Siyuan's craftsmanship is also very good, doesn't he also open a dim sum shop at the entrance of the community?"
"Maybe people who don't lack money like to be at the entrance of the community. If I could afford a house in Yunzhong Community, I wouldn't be a pastry chef."
Both Pei Xing was a bit dazed: "Not necessarily."
Li Hua: Forgot that you kid also live nearby, you damn rich people!
Li Hua didn't want to talk, quietly adjusting the filling.
Qin Huai didn't notice the communication between colleagues. He was concentrating on kneading the dough. After kneading the dough, he cut it into cubes, and then deeply realized that his knife skills were indeed very poor.
Qin Huai could only seek help from Both Pei Xing and Li Hua, whose knife skills were passable, handing over the work of cutting cubes to them, and continuing to knead the dough.
San Ding Bao had to be made, and other dim sum also had to be made. Today was Sunday, and Qin Luo would have to go to class tomorrow and wouldn't have time to eat dim sum all day, so Qin Huai had to make everything he could on the list today.
Qin Huai glanced at the time and found that it was already 8:40.
By the time the San Ding Bao was out of the pot, it was estimated to be after nine thirty.
For ordinary office workers, eating breakfast at 9:30 on a rest day seemed okay. But there were many grandpas and grandmas in the cafeteria who finished morning jogging at 6 o'clock. Was this breakfast time a bit...
Not good for the grandpas and grandmas' stomachs?
Qin Huai poked his head and looked at Xu Tuqiang, who occupied the C position.
"Grandpa Xu, this bun might take another 50 minutes to be out of the pot. Do you want to eat something else to pad your stomach first?" Qin Huai looked in the kitchen, "The buns, shumai, wontons, and fried dough sticks made by my dad and Master Chen are all edible."
The most critical thing was that there were so many people sitting in the cafeteria, and there was no proper breakfast on the table, only soy milk, mung bean soup, and such soups, which really looked very strange.
Someone came in from outside, bought some breakfast to take away or sat down to eat, and someone would give up their seat.
The Yunzhong cafeteria was not far from the mall and the subway entrance. Every morning, there were not only fixed diners but also many random wild guests. This weird scene would really make wild guests feel that the boss of this breakfast shop must have a problem with his brain.
Opening a community cafeteria and hiring so many extras to sit in the store, hunger marketing wasn't done like this either.
"No need." Xu Tuqiang said with full breath, "We are not hungry!"
"Morning jogging made us full. Just sitting and digesting food, eating breakfast in 50 minutes is just right!"
Qin Huai:......
Grandpa Xu, listen to yourself, is that human language?
Look at Grandpa Wang, who never makes fake accounts and is upright and honest, beside you.
Grandpa Wang was about to dig a hole and bury himself.
