Chapter 203: Really Admire Huang Ji's Guests

The benefit of having a new roommate move into the house is that the speed of eating fruit is much faster.

No way, Gong Liang gave too much, and the frequency of the cleaning lady changing new fruit is so high that Qin Huai feels a lot of pressure every time he goes home and sees the fruit in the fruit plate.

He is afraid that if he eats any slower, the cleaning lady's fruit shop will open.

On the first day Ouyang moved in, Qin Huai decided to take Ouyang to Huang Ji to see the world—

Eat a real small stove.

Actually, it's Huang Ji's breakfast, Qin Huai's longevity noodles and Zheng Siyuan's wontons.

After all, Ouyang is not a Huang Ji employee, and it is against the rules to enter the back kitchen. Qin Huai let Ouyang stay at home first or wander around the surrounding area to see if there is anything that needs to be bought, and he will send a message to Ouyang to let him go over when the longevity noodles are about to come out of the pot.

Squat at the kitchen door and eat.

This is Huang Ji's hidden eating method. The last person to squat at the kitchen door and eat was Gong Liang.

Speaking of Gong Liang, Qin Huai brushed his circle of friends for a while before entering Huang Ji.

Gong Liang is still eating happily at Fen Garden.

He posts photos every time it's meal time. The photos are estimated to be taken by his daughter. The dishes are photographed very beautifully, making Qin Huai want to spend a huge amount of money to make an appointment for Fen Garden, to go to Beiping to taste how good the skills of the current number one Chinese chef are.

In the Huang Ji back kitchen, Zheng Siyuan has already started wrapping wontons.

It's like this every day. Zheng Siyuan comes early and leaves early. Except for making dim sum, he just makes dim sum. Zheng Siyuan doesn't talk much to the colleagues in the Huang Ji back kitchen during work, and the person he interacts with the most on a daily basis is Qin Huai.

Today, Zheng Siyuan rarely took the initiative to speak.

"You are going to be famous." Zheng Siyuan said.

"Ah?" Qin Huai's hand pouring flour paused, almost covering himself with flour, "I feel... I am not a novice without any fame, right?"

To tell the truth, Qin Huai feels that he has become much more famous since coming to Suzhou.

Although he hasn't participated in any academic exchange meetings in the industry yet, Qin Huai feels that he is not famous in the industry, at least he is considered a little famous.

In this area of Suzhou, ask around, who doesn't know Master Qin of Huang Ji.

As for the academic exchange meeting... Huang Anyao suggests that Qin Huai should not participate.

It's very boring. Except for the exchange meetings hosted by Does Zhi Wei Ju, the other dishes are not delicious. Huang Shengli never participates and always sends him to make up the numbers. He can't listen and can't eat well, it's simply a bitter job.

In Huang Anyao's words, only Zheng Da likes to go to this kind of academic exchange meeting. Because not all those who go to the exchange meeting are chefs, there are also mixed people like him and some restaurant bosses.

Zheng Da is in the dim sum business, and he basically goes to the academic exchange meeting to promote and lay goods.

"I'm not talking about this." Zheng Siyuan stopped wrapping wontons, washed his hands, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and clicked on Xu Cheng's Weibo to show Qin Huai.

Qin Huai glanced at it and found that Zheng Siyuan had been following Xu Cheng's Weibo for 611 days.

By the way, this Weibo account of Xu Cheng has been open for 611 days.

Xu Cheng posted a Weibo at 3:21 yesterday morning. The content is very long, with a lot of nonsense, probably meaning that he ate too much dim sum during the day and couldn't sleep at night, and he had to write a food review, so he was full of thoughts and wrote it in one go until 3 o'clock, feeling that he was truly too professional, and next year's New Year's big issue would definitely not be delayed.

In general, this is a self-boasting Weibo.

But it is worth noting that Xu Cheng posted a few pictures for this Weibo. The pictures are the dim sum made by Qin Huai. The plate for the dim sum is a special plate specially customized by Huang Ji, with Huang Ji's logo on it, very large, so large that it is hard to ignore.

It is hard not to suspect that Xu Cheng specially posted a Weibo to advertise for Huang Ji.

The comment section of this Weibo is also very wonderful, all of them are Qin Huai's fans, the strong recommendation of enthusiastic masses who ride bicycles to grab buns and steamed buns every noon in the Suzhou area.

【Mr. Xu really has taste, Master Qin has only been at Huang Ji for more than a month and you discovered him!

——Faithful believer of fermented rice steamed buns】

【Will it be harder for me to buy dim sum in the future, don't 【crying】【crying】【crying】

——Damn boss deducts 50 yuan for being one minute late】

【Huang Ji has a new pastry chef, doesn't Huang Ji have no pastry?

——Which family is strong in excavation technology】

Qin Huai also saw the comment Zheng Siyuan posted himself.

【Master Qin's dim sum is very delicious, worth recommending.

——Zheng (Practice big spoon-flipping version)】

Qin Huai really wants to persuade Zheng Siyuan not to practice anymore, we are pastry chefs, there is no need to hang ourselves on the tree of savory dishes.

But Zheng Siyuan has already posted a good review for himself in real name...

Practice, good brother, I will cook two bowls of longevity noodles for you today!

Qin Huai returned the mobile phone to Zheng Siyuan: "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to specially post a Weibo to advertise."

Zheng Siyuan looked at Qin Huai deeply, knowing that Qin Huai hadn't realized what this Weibo of Xu Cheng meant.

Qin Huai:?

"Do you remember the scene when you first came to Huang Ji two days ago?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

Qin Huai expressed that of course he remembered. At that time, the old diners of Huang Ji thought Zheng Da was caught by Huang Shengli to work, and they bought dim sum with the posture of grabbing food during a famine, for fear that they wouldn't have it for the next meal.

At that time, Qin Huai had just come to Huang Ji, was not used to such high-intensity work, and was not as good at distributing work to assistants as he is now. The dim sum he made almost exhausted Qin Huai to death at Huang Ji.

"That was because I had no experience. Now even if the purchase volume increases by 30%, I can keep up." Qin Huai knew what Zheng Siyuan wanted to say and said confidently.

He is not the Qin Huai he was back then. He is Qin Huai who practiced in Huang Ji for a month and went back to Yunzhong Academy to practice for 4 days.

Now he, even if he goes back to his hometown in Qiu County for the New Year to steam buns, he is not empty!

"Huang Ji didn't have a limited business time before it was on "Zhi Wei"." Zheng Siyuan suddenly began to tell a story, "At that time, Master Uncle relied on his young body and felt that it was not easy for guests to come to Huang Ji from far away, and it was giving Huang Ji face to be willing to come to Huang Ji to eat, so he would receive them no matter how late."

"Then Huang Ji was on "Zhi Wei"."

"Master Uncle insisted for a week, really couldn't insist anymore, changed the business time, and this didn't enter the hospital because of overwork."

"During that week, there were guests queuing outside Huang Ji to wait for opening at five or six o'clock every day, and there were still guests queuing outside until two or three o'clock in the morning. Even if there were no dishes in the back kitchen, there were only two bundles of green vegetables left, and the guests were willing to eat a plate of green vegetables before leaving."

"This is Xu Cheng's influence."

"In the era when communication was not developed and paper media was king, Xu Cheng's influence was greater than you can imagine."

"Only one food review, a few words of praise, his fans would come from thousands of miles away, even if they took a plane across the ocean, just to eat a dish praised by Xu Cheng."

Qin Huai was somewhat surprised when Zheng Siyuan said this.

How should he put it, he knew Xu Cheng was very awesome, but he didn't expect Xu Cheng to be so awesome.

The effect of the same words coming from Huang Anyao's mouth, from Dong Shi's mouth, and from Zheng Siyuan's mouth is different.

Huang Anyao is a fan filter, Dong Shi is a gossip head, and Zheng Siyuan is a gold content certification.

"Then you didn't let Xu Cheng taste your skills yesterday, isn't it a loss?" Qin Huai said.

Qin Huai feels that Zheng Siyuan's overall skills are still above his own.

Zheng Siyuan is a professional, balanced development, a hexagonal warrior.

During this period, Qin Huai has made rapid progress, and Zheng Siyuan has actually improved. Not to mention anything else, just talking about crepe wontons and bubble wontons, the progress is very obvious.

If Zheng Siyuan could not struggle with the big spoon-flipping and take the time to practice pastry dishes instead of practicing flipping the pot in the afternoon, the progress might be more obvious.

"Xu Cheng tasted my skills two years ago." Zheng Siyuan said.

"You have been on "Zhi Wei"? Which issue? I must buy it to collect!" Qin Huai's eyes lit up.

Zheng Siyuan shook his head: "Never been on it. At that time, I just wanted to sell dim sum at the entrance of the community, didn't want to be famous, and didn't want to be on "Zhi Wei", so I declined Xu Cheng's interview."

"Then what about now?"

"Don't want to either. Now Master Uncle's waist is also healed, it is estimated that he will return to work officially in half a month. Huang Ji cannot have no dim sum chef during the New Year. I plan to help until after the Lantern Festival, and then go back to the pastry shop to continue selling pastries."

"I feel my skills are not good enough." Zheng Siyuan said, "Maybe one day I feel my skills are enough, and there happens to be a restaurant with a not-bad scale throwing an olive branch at me to let me be a head chef and stand on my own, I will leave the pastry shop and change to another place to work."

Qin Huai clicked his tongue while kneading dough: "This is estimated to be difficult. I heard Huang Anyao say before that now the well-known restaurants in the country with pastry dishes as the main focus only have Does Zhi Wei Ju. I studied the ranking of the Famous Chef Record yesterday, and the masters of Does Zhi Wei Ju cannot be after 70th. The lowest ranked one is 97th."

As everyone knows, Zheng Da only made it to the Famous Chef Record once, ranking 53rd, and then angrily refused to rank because the ranking was too low.

And Zheng Da's skills are absolutely above Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan.

Zheng Da can only rank 53rd, Zheng Siyuan wants to rush to 40th...

If he also has a system to open a hang for him, maybe it is still possible.

"This is just a plan for the future." Zheng Siyuan said, continuing to wrap wontons.

After wrapping for a while, Zheng Siyuan realized later that they were originally chatting about Qin Huai? How did they chat about himself?

"My dad contacted several masters who are familiar with Does Zhi Wei Ju after seeing Xu Cheng's Weibo this morning, and helped you borrow several assistants from Does Zhi Wei Ju." Zheng Siyuan pulled the topic back to the main point.

"Assistant?" Qin Huai was shocked, "Can Does Zhi Wei Ju still borrow assistants?"

Is Does Zhi Wei Ju's business so complete?

This is what a cradle for pastry students.

"Special period, special means." Zheng Siyuan said lightly, "My dad is afraid that you... will be exhausted these few days."

"And it can't be said to be borrowing assistants, to be precise, it is learning and exchange."

Being tired these few days is a little tired, and it will be a big tired after "Zhi Wei" is released.

Huang Ji's dim sum is not limited, Zheng Da is afraid that Huang Ji will exhaust his future precious apprentice.

Qin Huai sighed in his heart that he had really seen it, while continuing to rub noodles.

At 8:40, the Huang Ji crowd and Ouyang, who was squatting at the kitchen door, ate longevity noodles.

Ouyang, who had never eaten longevity noodles cooked from high-quality soup of this level, wished he could lick the bowl, and after drinking a large bowl of noodle soup, he licked his face and added half a bowl, then went out to inspect.

The specific way of inspection is to go to the pedestrian street to stroll and buy hand-beaten lemon tea.

After breakfast, Qin Huai began to work formally.

Today's menu is premium Three-Dice Diced Baozi, fermented rice steamed bun, and mung bean cake.

When making mung bean cake yesterday, Qin Huai felt that he seemed to have not made mung bean cake for a while, his hands were raw, he had to practice more, so he added this dim sum to the recipe.

No need to make too much, those who come to Huang Ji to buy dim sum are basically rushing for fermented rice steamed buns. Yesterday Three-Dice Diced Baozi was a great success, it is estimated that there are quite a few people buying Three-Dice Buns.

Mung bean cake is at most a side dish.

Huang Ji's mung bean cake is so expensive, although the mung bean cake made by Qin Huai tastes better than what is sold outside, in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is definitely better to eat the delicious food of ordinary pastry shops.

The Qin Master who goes to work normally doesn't know what is about to happen.

10 o'clock, Huang Ji's waiters haven't fully arrived at their posts.

Huang Ji's waiters go to work at 10:40, the head waiter and those with extra tasks the next day will come early, and those who live nearby will occasionally come early by the way.

Today the head waiter came relatively late, arriving at 10 o'clock.

The reason for coming late is a bit shameful—too excited, didn't sleep well last night and got up late.

Huang Ji's head waiter has worked at Huang Ji since Huang Ji opened, and is one of the employees with the deepest feelings for Huang Ji. In the past two years, the declining business of Huang Ji, the head waiter saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, but had no way.

She is not a chef and cannot stir-fry, otherwise she really wished she could rush into the kitchen to stir-fry two dishes for the guests.

Now it's different, now the real turning point has come!

Xu Cheng is here!

As long as Huang Ji is on "Zhi Wei" once more, it will definitely be the no. 1 in Suzhou, and no matter how bad Huang Anyao's operation level is, under Huang Shengli's leadership, Huang Ji can also be made big and strong, and create brilliance again.

The head waiter had special energy when riding a bicycle today.

Then she stood at the door of Huang Ji and was stunned.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the waiters' working time hadn't arrived yet, and Huang Ji hadn't reached the business opening time, but there was already a queue at the door.

Still a long queue.

Visually, there were at least forty or fifty people.

Head waiter Cao almost took a deep breath.

She hadn't seen this scene for many years.

The last time she saw this scene, Huang Shengli's waist was still good, and there was no problem at all.

Head waiter Cao rushed into Huang Ji in one stride, changed her clothes, and walked quickly into the back kitchen, finding Huang Shengli, Huang Anyao, and Zheng Da all there.

Huang Shengli rarely put on work clothes, but he wasn't working, nor was he sitting in the back kitchen drinking tea at a small table, but standing in the center to direct everyone.

"Okay Xiao Jiu, don't cut the remaining vegetables, you and Qin Huai are familiar and have a tacit understanding, you go to take over Lao Liu's shift and watch the filling in the pot."

"Lao Liu, you pay attention to the management of others."

"Siyuan, you help watch your dad and don't let him slack off. What are you looking at me for, I'm talking about you!"

"It's not that I asked you to come and help, it's that you called me early in the morning, saying that there must be a lot of guests today, don't exhaust Xiao Qin, and you took the initiative to ask to come over. I don't know your nature yet, your waist has no problem, what's wrong with working a little longer? My waist hasn't fully healed yet, if my waist was completely healed, I would go over to help Xiao Qin knead dough now."

"Anyao, it's not that I'm talking about you, you have forgotten all the basic skills you learned when you were young. Forget it, forget it, it's useless for you to stay here, you go over there to wash vegetables."

Huang Anyao: qaq

Huang Shengli turned around and saw the head waiter.

"Xiao Cao, you're here." Huang Shengli said with a smile, "Did you see the guests queuing at the door?"

Head waiter Cao nodded heavily.

"This Weibo of Xu Cheng is posted, and Huang Ji's business will be hot again for a while. You have to work hard during this time, watch the lobby and the guests queuing to buy dim sum more. There are so many guests queuing outside, let's start selling dim sum a little earlier at noon today, start selling at 11 o'clock, do you have any problems here?"

"No problem!" Head waiter Cao said firmly, "Don't worry, Master Huang, our service staff will definitely not hold back the restaurant!"

At 12 noon, Xu Cheng, who was blocked on the road yesterday, learned to be obedient today and had experience. He didn't ride a bicycle, but came to the vicinity in advance with his assistant and walked slowly to Huang Ji.

Xu Cheng originally didn't want to come to Huang Ji to eat today.

But the draft yesterday was written too well, too smoothly, and he was written hungry in the middle of the night.

Xu Cheng was greedy for dim sum.

In order to prevent binge eating like yesterday, eating a lot for lunch and afternoon tea, and not eating at night, and being hungry again in the middle of the night. Xu Cheng decided to eat only one Three-Dice Diced Baozi, one fermented rice steamed bun, and one bowl of Chen Pi tea at noon today, and definitely not eat more.

He specially didn't say hello in advance.

If you don't say hello and come directly, you won't eat the small stove.

You won't binge eat.

Xu Cheng felt that he planned very well.

Until he walked to the intersection 200 meters away from Huang Ji.

What did he see?

A queue that couldn't be seen at a glance.

Xu Cheng was stunned.

He even saw a few people queuing at the end of the queue eating while queuing, and what they were eating was exactly the fermented rice steamed buns and Three-Dice Buns he wanted to eat today.

The assistant was about to go up and ask what was going on, but Xu Cheng stopped the assistant and went up himself.

"Hello, may I ask if this is queuing..."

"Yes, yes, yes, this is the queue for Huang Ji's dim sum!" The old man queuing at the end said enthusiastically, "Young man, don't look at the queue, it's fast to queue, at most forty... one hour, you can queue up. Remember to buy more when you queue up, but don't buy too much, it's easy to be beaten."

Xu Cheng:?

"Grandpa, didn't you buy it?" The assistant asked.

"Oh, don't mention it. I had no experience when I queued for the first time, bought too little, and just after buying, I heard someone on the side say that a food critic named Xu recommended Huang Ji on Weibo. It is said that there will be a lot of people coming to grab dim sum these days, and today there are the fewest people coming from other places."

"Scared me to hurry up and queue again to buy more and hoard it at home to eat. Don't say Grandpa didn't remind you, it's best to buy 10 fermented rice steamed buns, otherwise it's not enough to eat!"

Xu Cheng:...

Are the guests at your Huang Ji so crazy when buying things?

Xu Cheng had heard of the saying that Huang Ji never limits the ordering of dishes. Only banquet dishes are limited. Other dishes can be ordered casually as long as they are on the menu. There is no so-called hidden menu, and there is no VIP menu.

But...

This is also a bit too outrageous, right?

Five minutes later, Xu Cheng, who bought Three-Dice Buns, fermented rice steamed buns, and Chen Pi tea by calling and opening a small stove, was walking outside with his assistant while eating buns.

Xu Cheng never dreamed that one day he would have to call and find someone to open a small stove if he wanted to eat buns and steamed buns.

As for why he didn't sit inside and eat...

Because Xu Cheng didn't book a private room today, thinking about taking it away after buying it, and there was no seat inside.

As for why he had to wander at the door of Huang Ji instead of leaving directly, it was because the new batch of mung bean cakes wasn't ready yet.

Xu Cheng: Since you are here, eat a mouthful of mung bean cake before leaving.
