Chapter 246: Master of Balancing

In the next few days, the members of the Hundred-Fruit Filling research team gathered in Huang Ji's back kitchen again in the afternoon to restart the research on Hundred-Fruit Filling.

Even a new member was added—Zheng Da.

After hearing that his train of thought was not wrong, but he was too lazy to continue researching and didn't go deeper, so it could only be considered giving up halfway, he regretted not sleeping for half the night. When he came to Huang Ji the next day with dark circles under his eyes, he said he also wanted to join the Hundred-Fruit Filling research team.

The previous progress hadn't kept up, this time he must keep up!

Under the leadership of Zheng Da, the research on Hundred-Fruit Filling could be described as rapid progress.

If it was galloping before, now it is directly sitting on a plane, using technology.

Almost every day, the fragrance of Hundred-Fruit Filling floated in Huang Ji's back kitchen. The chefs in Huang Ji's back kitchen also changed from the initial change of color when smelling the fragrance of Hundred-Fruit Filling to intoxication now.

Now not only has the taste of Hundred-Fruit Filling become delicious, but even the fragrance has become good.

Originally it was sweet and greasy, it was hell, it was explosive, and it was a battle of two legs and wanting to leave after smelling it. Those who didn't want to eat would rather die than taste it, and those who were not afraid of death scrambled to grab it, comparing while eating, and voting for which Tangyuan was the worst.

Now there is no such trouble.

All of them are delicious.

When winter melon sugar becomes the absolute protagonist, there is a standard answer. As long as the sweetness is controlled, Hundred-Fruit Filling will not be bad, and subsequent fine-tuning will only determine how delicious it is and in which direction it is delicious.

And when Hundred-Fruit Filling starts to become delicious, difficulty follows.

How to make the already delicious Hundred-Fruit Filling even more delicious has become a major problem.

Zheng Siyuan and Zheng Da, father and son, almost turned against each other in the kitchen because of Hundred-Fruit Filling. Neither of them could convince the other. The father had the father's ideas, the son had the son's train of thought, and neither could prove the other was wrong, nor could they prove they were right.

Both of them were stubborn, insisting on trying their own methods, leaving Tan Weian caught between these two great gods, left and right in a dilemma.

One moment saying Old Master Zheng is still sharp, this idea must be no problem.

The next moment supporting Young Master Zheng's idea is good, the Hundred-Fruit Filling made with this train of thought will definitely be more delicious.

If you ask Tan Weian what ideas he has, Tan Weian can only say he has no ideas at all.

What ideas can he have? He is the most mixed-in mixed-in in this Hundred-Fruit Filling research team.

At first, Tan Weian thought Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan caught him to taste, but after eating for a few days, he found that it wasn't his turn to taste.

The perverts in Huang Ji's back kitchen are more than one, and there is an even more perverted one at Qin Huai's house, all of whom are good hands at tasting.

Later, Tan Weian thought Zheng Siyuan and Qin Huai caught him to be a helper. He was quite happy. With so many chefs, they didn't catch others but caught him, showing that Master Xiao Qin and Master Xiao Zheng thought highly of him.

As a result, after being a helper for a period of time, Qin Huai fell in love with other dim sum, and the small team disbanded.

Just when Tan Weian thought this small team had become history, the small team reorganized, and he even made a certain contribution—contributing Master Zhou's recipe.

This recipe is very important, and this recipe laid the main tone for the ingredients of Hundred-Fruit Filling.

After such a long time, mixing around, Tan Weian found that he was actually still that mixed-in, but he was a mixed-in with a good family background and his own equipment.

Now two big bosses are fighting like gods, how dare a mixed-in speak? A mixed-in can only continue to mix.

At this time, some people might ask, Tan Weian is a mixed-in, Qin Huai is not. Zheng Siyuan and Zheng Da are almost fighting because of Hundred-Fruit Filling, doesn't Qin Huai have any reaction at all?

Yes.

He is watching from the side while stir-frying meat.

Watching with him are Huang Shengli and Dong Shi, who is not afraid of death for gossip.

Huang Shengli is the most active watcher.

When Zheng Da's clumsy mouth couldn't say anything, but relying on his cooking skills being better than Zheng Siyuan's, the Hundred-Fruit Filling he made was always better than Zheng Siyuan's, his theoretical exam score was not high but his practical operation was full marks, so he could fight his son to a draw, Huang Shengli listened very seriously, wishing he could take a recording pen to record it for them.

Like now.

"Dad, give up your sunflower seeds. Although sunflower seeds are very popular, they are too ordinary. If Hundred-Fruit Filling is to use sunflower seeds as the main auxiliary ingredient, then why make Hundred-Fruit Filling? Just make sunflower seed filling. There are so many dim sum with sunflower seed filling, it's not worse than Hundred-Fruit Filling."

"Sunflower seeds and peanuts are matched together, don't you feel that many dim sum names have started to emerge in your mind? If we use so many complex materials and spend so many cumbersome steps just to make Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan that highlights the taste of sunflower seeds and peanuts, then why not make other simpler dim sum? They are also delicious sunflower seed and peanut flavored dim sum."

"I feel that your approach is a clever and conservative approach. Dad, you just want to quickly make delicious Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan, so you picked the combination you are best at to do it."

Facing Zheng Siyuan's strong attack, Zheng Da only had one sentence to fight back: "What I make is delicious."

Zheng Siyuan:...

"Your deliciousness is temporary, the upper limit of your method is far inferior to almonds."

"What I make is delicious."

"..."

Huang Shengli almost laughed out loud on the side, and Qin Huai was also watching, stir-frying meat while watching, using one heart for two purposes, almost flipping the meat out when flipping the spoon.

"Focus a bit. It is indeed easy for chefs to encounter some things that distract them when cooking, but distraction is distraction, it cannot affect the dishes in the pot. When you, Xiao Qin, can stir-fry while watching the fun, your heat control will be almost practiced," Huang Shengli said with a smile.

"You young people have seen too little. When I learned to cook back then, it was very lively outside. Customers fighting with customers, customers hitting waiters, waiters hitting customers, waiters arguing with each other, chefs and waiters arguing. Sometimes it was so exciting that I wished I could take the pot out to stir-fry."

Qin Huai:... Master Huang, although you say so now, you are also watching quite happily.

Zheng Siyuan went back to bury his head and tinker with his Hundred-Fruit Filling.

Seeing the fun was gone, Huang Shengli asked Qin Huai: "I really don't understand the filling of your white-case dim sum. Is Siyuan's filling good, or is Zheng Da's filling good?"

"Actually, both are okay," Qin Huai said objectively, "These two are very standard Hundred-Fruit Filling fillings, no problem."

It's just that Zheng Siyuan's Hundred-Fruit Filling filling is derived from Master Zhou's recipe of Does Zhi Wei Ju, and Zheng Da's Hundred-Fruit Filling filling is derived from the recipe he is best at.

In terms of difficulty, Zheng Siyuan's difficulty must be higher, and relatively speaking, the upper limit may also be higher. After all, Master Zhou's recipe is still trustworthy.

But in terms of proficiency and cooking skills, Zheng Da must be a level higher.

So at this research stage, Zheng Da is far ahead in the finished product.

Zheng Siyuan and his father can argue like this, it is because Zheng Siyuan is very unhappy with his father's obvious lazy behavior. There is a better and more refined recipe that he doesn't go to research, but insists on being lazy and doing what he is best at. Combined with the fact that his father has been lazy for decades, Zheng Siyuan can be said to have calculated new hatred and old hatred together, and the father and son are just stubborn like this.

And Zheng Da's behavior can also be understood.

Zheng Da just simply wants to show himself, wants to use the method that can achieve results the fastest to achieve achievements in Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan, and prove his strength.

This father and son, one thinks of going deep, the other thinks of quick success, the goals are different, naturally they cannot reach unity. So it is bitter for Tan Weian, who can't balance the water.

As for Qin Huai, Qin Huai's real thoughts are the same as what he just said. He feels that both recipes are okay, both are good recipes.

The same dim sum can originally have different recipes.

For example, mung bean cake, the styles are so many that they are divided into different schools. Rice wine steamed buns are the same. Huang Ji's rice wine steamed buns are very famous, but it doesn't mean that only Huang Ji sells rice wine steamed buns.

Many dim sum shops all over the country have rice wine steamed buns, and the taste of rice wine steamed buns in each dim sum shop is actually not the same, but Huang Ji's recipe is a unique recipe passed down from Qin's Pastry Shop, which is a unique craft, delicious and special.

The Hundred-Fruit Filling that Zheng Siyuan and Zheng Da are arguing about is the same.

Zheng Da is actually making a mass recipe, and Zheng Siyuan is making Master Zhou's exclusive recipe. Both are good fillings and good recipes. Reasonably speaking, they shouldn't argue about who is better.

They argue so fiercely completely because the father and son have different philosophies.

How can outsiders interfere with the affairs of father and son? Qin Huai chose not to interfere, just eating melons and watching the fun.

"Then which kind of filling are you making, Xiao Qin?" Huang Shengli asked.

Qin Huai smiled and put the slightly failed stir-fried meat on the plate: "Definitely practicing both."

Huang Shengli smiled gratifiedly, feeling that it was indeed a child who can be taught.

Compared with Qin Huai, Tan Weian is a bit too wooden.

It can't be said to be too wooden, it can only be said that this child's brain is not flexible enough, a bit honest.

Zheng Siyuan's arguing is arguing, and the content of the argument is all knowledge points. Zheng Da's mouth is clumsy, and the steps he does are all knowledge points.

Two teachers just had a little contradiction in front of you, what are you doing standing there stupidly watching? You should also eat melons? Hurry up and take out your notebook to record, these are all knowledge points, and they will be tested!

After Qin Huai's meat was stir-fried, Zheng Da and Zheng Siyuan also finished arguing.

The common characteristic of this father and son is that arguing is arguing, only arguing when they should argue, and the remaining things still have to be done after the argument.

"Siyuan, you don't need to send Tangyuan to your sister tomorrow when you rest. How is the Miss Wang introduced by your Uncle Liu last time? Although she makes Western-style dim sum, she is also white-case, right? I have seen the little girl, she looks quite beautiful."

"When you rest tomorrow, take some Tangyuan to give to her, and make some crispy cakes, Ding Sheng cakes, Suzhou-style mooncakes, etc., that you are good at. The most important thing about blind dates is to show yourself. Dad thinks your previous blind dates were not smooth because you didn't show your advantages well," Zheng Da switched back to the father mode in a second.

Zheng Siyuan had no interest in blind dates at all, and said lightly: "Qin Huai and Uncle Gong are coming to our house for dinner tomorrow, where is the time to send dim sum?"

"Dinner at noon, just go to send dim sum in the evening, and then go out for a meal after sending dim sum, perfect!" Zheng Da arranged it clearly for his son.

"We'll see." Speaking of dinner tomorrow noon, Zheng Siyuan felt he had more important things to say, "Dad, Uncle Gong is coming for dinner tomorrow noon, should we make Four-Joy Tangyuan?"

"You make it or I make it?"

"Of course I make it!"

"Your Tangyuan is too ordinary, Uncle Gong definitely won't like it, I have to make it."

"What do you mean my Tangyuan is too ordinary? It's clearly that what I make is more delicious, right? Treating guests must take out things you are good at, how can you take out things that are not the best? If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Qin, does he like your almond flavor, or does he like my ordinary one?"

"What's wrong with ordinary? Don't underestimate the sunflower seed and peanut filling. The best-selling thing in our family's dim sum factory every year is various sunflower seed and peanut crispy cakes. Sales are the best evaluation. What the public likes is good."

"The sales of almond-type dim sum are not high, completely because the cost is high and the selling price is high. How can these two be compared together? If you really want to say that, the highest sales amount in our family is egg yolk crispy cakes!"

"This is completely different, okay? How much money do I spend on advertising for egg yolk crispy cakes every year? This is an internet celebrity product!"

"So this cannot be compared together. I think we should still make almond ones for tomorrow's Four-Joy Tangyuan."

"Peanut and sunflower seed ones!"

Arguing again.

Qin Huai and Tan Weian looked at each other. Qin Huai touched his nose and suddenly felt that he should go to the entrance to wait for Wang Jun to come back.

Wang Jun was once his most capable helper. Now that he is so hard working and dating every day, he should also go to the entrance to pick up people as a colleague.

Qin Huai wanted to slip away, because he felt that if he didn't slip away, he would hear "Xiao Qin, come and judge."

"Xiao Qin, come and judge. Do you want to eat almond Four-Joy Tangyuan or peanut and sunflower seed Four-Joy Tangyuan tomorrow?" Zheng Da said.

Qin Huai:... Slipped late.

Qin Huai looked at Zheng Da.

Zheng Da's face was full of "You know my craft, Master Zheng will never let you down, choose me, choose me!"

Qin Huai looked at Zheng Siyuan again.

Zheng Siyuan told Qin Huai with his eyes, "I know you are a person who has pursuits for dim sum like me, and you will never be an accomplice to encourage my dad's unhealthy trend. I believe in you."

Tan Weian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that finally, it wasn't him caught in the middle.

He had wanted to practice heat control for the past two days.

Qin Huai had also watched Tan Weian's performance for two days and knew that he must not make a choice at this time.

Especially when both sides had no correct answer and no wrong answer.

Qin Huai raised a smile.

"It's rare to rest tomorrow. Everyone has worked hard practicing Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan during this time. Actually, if you really want to say it, the laziest person during this time is me. I didn't practice as diligently as everyone else, basically watching while stir-frying on the side."

"Dinner at Master Zheng's house tomorrow was set long ago, and I'm not good at buying anything empty-handed. But if I really want to buy something, I don't know how to buy it."

"How about this, I wanted to practice Four-Joy Tangyuan at the beginning, and I am also researching Hundred-Fruit Filling. Neither of you needs to make Four-Joy Tangyuan tomorrow, I will make it!"

"Make all three types of Hundred-Fruit Filling, make a blind box style without styling, just for fun!"

Zheng Siyuan and Zheng Da nodded, indicating that this was also quite good.

Tan Weian:?!

Damn, can it still be like this!

The master of balancing is actually by my side!
