Chapter 243: Lethal Dose of Winter Melon Sugar (For the alliance leader reward from Han Fengqing)

Qin Huai hadn't expected Xu Nuo's way of dying to be so beyond his imagination.

After thinking for a few minutes, it was time for work, so he stopped thinking about it.

Focus on making Guo'er.

When the evening business started, Huang Shengli announced to everyone in the kitchen about the day off on the 16th. Naturally, everyone was overjoyed to be able to have a day off.

Due to the business at Huang Ji exploding after the publication of "Zhi Wei," the original 4 days of rest per month were temporarily canceled and transferred to other months. Of course, if there was really something urgent, one could also ask for leave. Compared to the service pressure in the lobby, the pressure of dish preparation in the back kitchen was actually not that great.

Now that everyone was taking a day off together, it was equivalent to an extra day off, and no one didn't like having a day off.

Even Dong Shi temporarily gave up observing Wang Jun's dating and started chattering with others about whether to lie at home sleeping and watching TV or go out to play on the 16th when they had the day off.

When Qin Huai went to work in the evening, he deliberately accelerated the speed of making Guo'er, finished the usual amount 20 minutes early, left work early, and went home to make Four-Joy Tangyuan.

Only Ouyang was at Qin Huai's house, counting the 40 jin of winter melon sugar bought during the day; the rest of the tasters hadn't arrived yet.

The time was too early, and the grandpas and grandmas also had a sense of propriety, knowing not to come too early, otherwise it would disturb Master Xiao Qin from making Tangyuan.

Seeing Qin Huai back, Ouyang hurriedly said: "Qin Huai, come and see if the winter melon sugar I bought is okay? I always feel that the boss is ripping me off, either ripping me off on the price or ripping me off on the quality. When paying, he kept laughing, and I didn't know what he was laughing at."

Raw materials are the key to making Tangyuan. Hearing Ouyang say this, Qin Huai hurriedly went up to check and found that the quality of the winter melon sugar was perfectly fine.

Very normal winter melon sugar, a qualified product.

"How much did you buy it for?" Qin Huai asked.

Ouyang reported the total price, and Qin Huai felt there was no big problem after listening. It was normal that the price Ouyang bought the winter melon sugar for was more expensive than Huang Ji's purchase price; after all, Huang Ji was a restaurant, so the purchase price must be cheaper.

Even if Huang Anyao, this young master, was incompetent, it was impossible for him to negotiate the restaurant's purchase price to be the same as a private one-time purchase.

"What did you say to the boss when you bought the sugar?" Qin Huai asked.

"The boss asked me why I bought so much winter melon sugar, and I said I love to eat it and eat it at home myself," Ouyang said.

Qin Huai:...

Winter melon sugar is essentially winter melon candied fruit, sweet and greasy. Many people feel that this thing tastes like fat meat when eaten alone. Who would buy 40 jin of winter melon sugar to eat at home themselves?

Qin Huai guessed that the boss must have felt that Ouyang's taste was really a bit different from normal people, and didn't know what expression to make, so he could only laugh.

Eh, in a certain sense, the boss actually guessed right.

"It's okay, the winter melon sugar is fine. I'll go boil the sugar first. Ouyang, help me take the nuts and dried fruits to the kitchen and pack them in categories," Qin Huai comforted him and started working.

Although Qin Huai had realized the mystery of the Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan last night, the difficulty of actually doing it was still very high.

The principle was the principle, but it didn't mean everyone could do it.

Using winter melon sugar as the main ingredient, using the unique taste of winter melon sugar that is suitable for Hundred-Fruit Filling to cover up the taste of other nuts and dried fruits, and forcibly making these complex raw materials achieve unity in taste, wasn't just about adding winter melon sugar to death.

The specific recipe still had to be tested.

If he really didn't care about anything and added other materials casually, and only maximized the winter melon sugar, Qin Huai believed that the Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan made would be worse than the worst-tasting Five-Nut Mooncake on the market.

Qin Huai was already prepared for continuous failure, and even looked forward to it a bit.

Previous failures were meaningless failures without goals; if he failed, he failed, and he didn't know what he could get from the failure. But this failure was a failure with a goal; every time he failed, Qin Huai was one step closer to victory.

Qin Huai was patiently pulling the sugar, and Ouyang had already separated the nuts and dried fruits, one bowl for each, using almost all the bowls in the house.

Fortunately, Qin Huai had purchased many new bowls last time for the convenience of the grandpas and grandmas coming to the house to taste the Four-Joy Tangyuan, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough bowls.

Ouyang's hands were trembling a bit while watching from the side.

With so much winter melon sugar, how many Four-Joy Tangyuan would have to be made today?

If he had to eat 4 Hundred-Fruit Filling Four-Joy Tangyuan in a row, wouldn't that kill him?

In fact, Qin Huai didn't plan to make other flavors of Four-Joy Tangyuan today—it was too time-consuming, so he only made Hundred-Fruit Filling Four-Joy Tangyuan.

Considering that not every grandpa and grandma had as good a tolerance as Ouyang, Qin Huai notified everyone in the tasting group in advance that there would only be Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan tonight, no normal flavors, and those interested should come to the house to taste.

As a result, the grandpas and grandmas all came in droves, with "prepared to die" written on everyone's face, and as long as Master Xiao Qin could gain even a tiny bit of harvest from today's tasting, their efforts today would be worth it.

Gong Liang also came, bringing Guo Mingzhu as the first ones to arrive.

Gong Liang patted his chest and said that as the section chief of the sales department, what kind of hardship hadn't he suffered when he was young? It was just Four-Joy Tangyuan, and Master Xiao Qin even learned to make Four-Joy Tangyuan for his sake. He must be the first to eat this tasting.

If he avoided today's tasting, would he, Gong Liang, still be a person?

How would he have the face to enter Huang Ji's back kitchen to eat in the future?

Qin Huai looked at the grandpas and grandmas in the room who were as many as usual, and those who couldn't stand even squeezed into Gong Liang's house, and for a moment, he felt very moved.

When it comes to bad-tasting food, the grandpas and grandmas of the Yunzhong Canteen really eat it! Ouyang was also very moved, so moved that tears were about to flow out. His heart went cold when he saw Qin Huai sending a message in the group, thinking that he would have to fight a pot of Hundred-Fruit Filling Four-Joy Tangyuan tonight, then sacrifice heroically and become a legend.

The Hundred-Fruit Filling Four-Joy Tangyuan was out of the pot.

Looking at the Tangyuan in the pot, Ouyang suddenly realized a problem.

Qin Huai didn't make as much Tangyuan as usual today, making much less, and now that so many people had come, it wasn't enough to share.

Everyone couldn't even get 4 Tangyuan.

Ouyang raised this question.

Qin Huai was shocked: "You want to eat 4 Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan?"

What a spirit of sacrifice, buddy. It's just a tasting, no need; there will be plenty of days to eat Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan in the future.

Finally, considering that the grandpas and grandmas were old and couldn't withstand the torture, everyone was given one Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan.

Everyone held their bowls, scooped up the Tangyuan together, and took a bite.

Bad tasting!

So bad tasting!

It maintained the bad taste of the past!

The winter melon sugar was sweet and greasy, and mixed with so many nuts and dried fruits, it didn't taste fragrant, only a sweet taste that was outrageous rushed to the brain, making people frown as soon as they took a bite.

Ouyang ate it in the kitchen.

Qin Huai hadn't eaten it yet.

"How is it?" Qin Huai asked.

"So sweet," Ouyang said, frowning, "sweet to the point of being greasy, greasy to the point of feeling a bit nauseous."

Qin Huai accurately extracted key information from Ouyang's meaningless adjectives: "Only feel sweet? No other feelings? Not like before, where the taste of raisins was too obvious and bad, the taste of several kinds of candied fruits mixed together into a strange taste, or it tasted like the dark mush made by Grandma Ding's 4-year-old granddaughter throwing all the ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen into a pot and cooking them?"

Qin Huai's description was too accurate, making Ouyang recall many unbearable tastes from before.

"No," Ouyang shook his head firmly, "it's just sweet, the sweetness of winter melon sugar, a taste of winter melon sugar. It's just the bad taste of winter melon sugar, the bad taste of sweetness."

Qin Huai had a count in his heart; he felt that the mystery of the Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan should be like this, no mistake. As long as the amount of winter melon sugar is sufficient, it can indeed cover up the taste of other nuts and candied fruits.

The principle is the principle, but how to make this Hundred-Fruit Filling taste good depends on the operation.

Ordinary Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan is actually like this; winter melon sugar is the main ingredient, and you have to control the amount of winter melon sugar, at most highlighting the taste of two kinds of candied fruits or dried fruits.

Ordinary Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan can be made very delicious as long as the ingredients are reasonable.

This enhanced plus version of Hundred-Fruit Filling should also be the same principle, but the difficulty is higher.

Qin Huai went out and asked around again.

The evaluations obtained were all about the same, all too sweet, sweet to the point of being unbearable.

A few grandpas and grandmas whose sense of taste had degenerated due to age and were particularly fond of sweets couldn't stand it either. The evaluation was slightly better than others, but they still felt that the amount of winter melon sugar was too lethal, and the whole Hundred-Fruit Filling could only taste the taste of winter melon sugar, and all other seasonings were added in vain.

After asking, Qin Huai returned to the kitchen and picked up his own bowl of Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan.

There were two full Tangyuan in this bowl.

Two Tangyuan represented Qin Huai's attitude and determination.

Qin Huai scooped up a Tangyuan and took a bite.

Oh my god, it was so bad, it was really sweet to the point of being greasy, sweet to the point of wanting to die, sweet to the point of wanting to kick the butt of the chef who made this Tangyuan with the tip of a leather shoe.

Fortunately, he planned to make it secretly himself and not tell Zheng Siyuan first, otherwise Zheng Siyuan would definitely think he was crazy.

Outside, Gong Liang knocked on the kitchen door.

Qin Huai tried hard to adjust his facial features so they wouldn't look so ferocious, opened the kitchen door, and asked: "Mr. Gong, what's wrong?"

Gong Liang first showed his empty bowl, then asked: "Is there any more?"

"I feel that eating one can't be a good tasting, I have to eat two."

Qin Huai:?!

Deceiving beast, if you have this perseverance and determination, you will succeed in everything you do.
