Chapter 247: If the taste isn't enough, use emotions to make up for it
After leaving work, Qin Huai made three flavors of Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan.
One was the peanut and sunflower seed traditional simple filling of the Zheng Da faction, one was the almond and walnut advanced difficult filling of the Zheng Siyuan faction, and the other was the almond and peanut medium difficulty filling that he liked to eat himself.
Yes, the Hundred-Fruit Filling research team was actually divided into three research directions, and the three white-case chefs with independent research capabilities each had their own ideas.
The reason Zheng Siyuan only argued with Zheng Da and not with Qin Huai was because Zheng Siyuan felt that Qin Huai's filling also had difficulty and research value, unlike his dad's filling, which was purely lazy.
At this time, Qin Huai would definitely not speak, and would definitely not reveal why he wanted to make almond and peanut filling.
Qin Luo loves almonds, and Qin Huai loves peanuts.
Especially when approaching the New Year, Qin Huai felt that the gene for loving peanuts engraved in his DNA was about to be activated.
Qin grandma has a good craft for stir-frying peanuts, stir-frying shelled peanuts and clear sand together, and the peanuts after stir-frying taste fragrant. If Qin Huai doesn't need to make dim sum, he sends a bucket of peanuts to him and a bucket of almonds to Qin Luo, and the brothers and sisters can squat in the yard and eat them for an afternoon without watching TV.
Although Qin Huai has his own favorite Hundred-Fruit Filling, he also dabbles in the other two, and can do both.
Dim sum filling, as long as it is delicious, it is a good filling.
Qin Huai wrapped a lot of Tangyuan at night, a whole large basin, but didn't call anyone over except Seeing Ouyang, and specifically said in the tasting group: Because Huang Ji is resting tomorrow, I want to sleep early tonight, so I won't make Tangyuan.
Wrapped a whole large basin, but only boiled 4.
Seeing Ouyang looked at the basin of wrapped Tangyuan and asked curiously: "Are these Tangyuan to be sent back to Did Luo Luo? But isn't Did Luo Luo coming over after vacation in two days? Is it sent to Mr. Luo? Can Mr. Luo handle eating so many Tangyuan at such an old age? I saw the news that elderly people cannot eat too many glutinous rice products, it is easy to choke."
"Mr. Luo doesn't like to eat too sweet." Qin Huai looked at the heat in the pot and started stirring, "I'm going to Master Zheng's house for dinner tomorrow, I won't make dim sum. Put the remaining Tangyuan in the refrigerator first, and trouble you to run and share them with the grandpas and grandmas in the tasting group tomorrow morning."
Seeing Ouyang didn't understand even more, feeling that this was simply superfluous: "Why not eat it today and tell them not to come tomorrow?"
Seeing Ouyang, who had tasted it for so long and gained some experience, said that he didn't understand other things, but this dim sum must be freshly wrapped and freshly boiled to be delicious. Once frozen in the refrigerator, it wouldn't be as delicious as before.
Qin Huai wanted to say that of course it was to give Gong Liang a surprise tomorrow and directly complete these tasks.
After successfully balancing the water and taking the task of making Four-Joy Tangyuan tomorrow in the afternoon, Qin Huai suddenly realized that this was actually an opportunity.
Gong Liang is a person who can become very emotional in specific situations. Qin Huai discovered this when he completed the side mission of Crab Roe Shumai.
Gong Liang is the kind of person who, when you serve him a bowl of food, and the food is written with bonds, friendship, and memories, even if the taste is not up to standard, Gong Liang's memories will rush to his heart after one bite, and with mixed feelings, one move can directly complete the task.
If the taste isn't enough, use memories to make up for it.
Qin Huai borrowed the excuse of going to the restroom for 10 minutes after work in the afternoon to read the side mission 【Gong Liang's Desire】 over and over again, and found that there were loopholes to drill.
Game tasks can drill loopholes. Qin Huai discovered this a long time ago and succeeded.
In the side mission of 【Gong Liang's Desire】, the mission details have a lot of language descriptions of the status of Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun and Four-Joy Sweet Rice Balls in Gong Liang's memory. That is the concrete embodiment of Gong Liang's beautiful memories of the past, youth, family affection, and friendship. In other words, these two types of food have stacked full buffs for Gong Liang.
And what is described in the mission details is: Gong Liang wants to eat the Four-Joy Sweet Rice Balls and Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun that he was satisfied with at his birthday banquet again.
Birthday banquet is the scene limit of the buff. Before, Qin Huai felt that if he wanted to stack buffs on this, the effect would definitely be very good if he served these two types of dim sum on Gong Liang's birthday.
Birthday banquet, point the topic!
But there is actually a loophole in this detail, which is that it doesn't require who made the two types of dim sum.
As long as Gong Liang gets to eat it.
The rest only needs to stack buffs.
As long as the buffs are enough, one move can directly complete the mission, which is not a dream.
Qin Huai felt that tomorrow is an opportunity.
Because tomorrow is a small-scale gathering, and the people are very complete.
The only people participating in the dinner activity tomorrow are Zheng Da, Zheng Siyuan, Huang Shengli, Huang Anyao, Qin Huai, Gong Liang, Guo Mingzhu, and Gong Baozhu.
In a certain sense, this is Gong Liang's friend combination.
Originally, the only people who agreed to cook were Zheng Da and Huang Shengli, one responsible for white-case and one responsible for red-case. Combining the two is Master Jing.
Huang Shengli said that tomorrow he won't specifically make any high-difficulty big dishes or good dishes, just stir-fry a few home-cooked dishes that he is good at and not troublesome. It is mainly that it is rare to rest and everyone can gather together, and by the way, let Zheng Da make some dim sum so he doesn't get rusty.
Qin Huai's spirit of unremitting research on Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan during this time, not giving up even if it is dark or failed, has deeply moved Gong Liang.
In Gong Liang's words, it is: Master Qin has me in his heart!
Qin Huai felt that the buffs had been stacked very well. Except that tomorrow is not Gong Liang's birthday, basically all the buffs that could be stacked had been stacked.
Qin Huai had tried Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun, and the difficulty in finger techniques was indeed very high. This is a pure technical problem. Now letting Qin Huai bite the bullet and make Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun, Qin Huai is painful, and the finished product is not very good-looking.
Instead of practicing Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun for half a year after practicing Four-Joy Sweet Rice Balls, it is better to try to see if he can take a shortcut.
If he can't take a shortcut, he will practice again, and the two don't conflict.
So Qin Huai secretly stopped Zheng Da before Zheng Da left work, and expressed his love for Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun and his praise for the Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun that Zheng Da made last time with exquisite language art.
Oh, the bun last time was simply a work of art!
Qin Huai wants to see the work of art again tomorrow.
If it were in the past, Zheng Da might hesitate whether to do it.
Too troublesome.
Doing one or two is fine, but there are too many people eating tomorrow. Even if Zheng Da likes to show off, he doesn't want to spend so much effort just to show off.
But in that situation yesterday, Zheng Da didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly.
He needed to prove himself too much.
The rebellious son actually questioned his train of thought for making dim sum!
What's wrong with peanut and sunflower seed Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan? What's wrong with being simple? Delicious is the kingly way!
Do you think your dad can't make complex dim sum? Do you think your dad is the kind of person who only knows how to be lazy? Don't underestimate your dad's strength, okay!
Zheng Da felt that Qin Huai's request was simply sending charcoal in the snow. As long as he made two plates of Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Buns that could be called works of art tomorrow, he could prove his strength while showing off.
He could change from being lazy to "Master Zheng has his own ideas."
The most critical thing is that he doesn't need to say a word at that time. As soon as the buns are served on the table, everything is said.
So, Zheng Da immediately said there was no problem, and by the way, showed off, saying that last time was just done casually and couldn't be counted as a work of art, and he would make a big one tomorrow to let Qin Huai see what is called a Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun that is ingenious.
Zheng Da's Thousand-Flower Palace Lantern Bun was in place, and Qin Huai felt that his Four-Joy Sweet Rice Balls shouldn't have any big problems.
It doesn't matter if the taste is not good, emotions can make up for it. The buffs for Four-Joy Tangyuan have been stacked enough.
In order to win in one fell swoop tomorrow, he could only suffer the grandpas and grandmas in the tasting group and the Gong Liang couple next door tonight.
If they don't eat tonight and suddenly get to eat tomorrow, the effect will be better.
Qin Huai casually bluffed: "If you eat today and don't eat tomorrow, won't you have nothing to eat tomorrow? Tangyuan only put for one night, it doesn't affect the taste that much." "Be careful when you boil it at home tomorrow, don't boil it broken."
Seeing Ouyang was moved immediately, good brother, don't say it!
As long as my Seeing Ouyang's hand-beaten lemon tea shop opens for one day, you will have hand-beaten lemon tea to drink for one day.
As he was talking, the Tangyuan was out of the pot.
A total of 4 were boiled, 2 for each person, 3 flavors to open the blind box.
After the cooling time of 3 minutes and 50 seconds passed, Qin Huai and Seeing Ouyang started to eat one after another.
The first one Qin Huai ate was peanut and sunflower seed.
Don't say, although this filling is very ordinary and normal, the taste is indeed very consistent with the public's taste, and it is very difficult to step on thunder.
And compared to other fillings, it is relatively simple, the combination of ingredients is the easiest to control, and it is the least likely to fail and the easiest to break through.
"Hmm." Qin Huai made an exclamation sound.
Just as he was exclaiming, the phone rang. Looking at it, it was a WeChat call from Qin Luo.
Connect.
"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, brother brother brother brother brother, heard it? Heard it? Can you hear it? Did you hear it? If you heard it, squeak, hey hey!"
Qin Luo's voice resounded through the whole kitchen, so noisy that the Hundred-Fruit Filling Tangyuan that hadn't been boiled in the pot wanted to cover their ears.
So excited, there must be good news.
Qin Huai swallowed the Tangyuan in his mouth: "Squeak."
"Brother, let me tell you, we..."
"Vacation early?" Qin Huai answered.
Qin Luo was interrupted, paused for several seconds, then organized the language, restored the excited tone, and continued to say with a high voice:
"Yes, vacation early! After the last exam tomorrow, I can go to Suzhou to find you!"
"Mom has already bought me the plane ticket for tomorrow afternoon. If I transfer to high-speed rail, I will arrive at 11 o'clock in the evening! Brother, what is fun in Suzhou? What is delicious? What can I eat at 11 o'clock in the evening?"
"You only came back for a few days in these months. I eat in the cafeteria every day and Chen An's buns, and I'm hungry and thin. Just now I had a video call with grandma, and grandma said my face was thin, and transferred 500 yuan to me to eat more delicious food."
"Is that so, that's quite good. After coming to Suzhou, you can give me the 500 yuan grandma gave you first, and pay back part of the dim sum money you owe," Qin Huai said calmly while eating Tangyuan.
Qin Luo's voice stalled again.
"Brother!"
"Owe money, pay money, it is justified. The final exam has started, right? How did you do? How much lucky money do you think you can get this New Year? Is the lucky money enough to pay off the debt?"
Seeing Ouyang looked at Qin Huai in shock, as if looking at a ruthless capitalist.
"Brother!" Qin Luo's voice was more miserable.
"Okay, don't say these things. I don't know what is fun in Suzhou, this has to be taken by your Seeing Ouyang brother to play. As for delicious food, there is one across from the house, crab powder lion head, braised fish head, braised whole pig head, eel paste, squirrel mandarin fish, boiled dried silk, shrimp with Biluochun, soft-hook long fish, pine nut corn, Wensi tofu, water shield soup, cherry meat, Yangzhou fried rice, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo meat are all quite delicious. When you come, I will introduce you to a brother surnamed Huang, it is more delicious for you to eat while he talks."
Qin Luo swallowed saliva.
"However, you are a high school student now, and you can't just think about eating, drinking, and playing without caring about learning as soon as you have winter vacation. Of course, there is no problem eating and playing more during the New Year, but now there is still a period of time before the New Year. If you eat, drink, and play every day and I go to Huang Ji to work without time to supervise you, Mom and Dad will not be at ease with you staying in Suzhou," Qin Huai's tone was also full of hesitation and entanglement.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely study hard at home, I will definitely finish my homework every day before going out to eat!" Qin Luo only hated that it was a voice call now, not a video, otherwise she would definitely raise her hand to swear on the spot.
"I'm not at ease with you studying alone at home. Now that you are in high school, we can't tutor you."
"I can take tutoring classes!"
"This is Suzhou, you are still in a private school, where can you take tutoring classes?"
Qin Luo was stunned: "Then what to do? Mom bought the ticket for me, won't Mom let me go back to write homework after staying in Suzhou for a few days?"
"I have a way," Qin Huai smiled slightly, put down the bowl, and couldn't play well with the bowl.
"One-on-one tutoring is very expensive."
"It's not expensive, brother has acquaintances."
Qin Luo was relieved: "Then do as brother said, haha, I can play in Suzhou until the New Year! Brother, you won't take my phone like Mom, only let me play with my phone for two hours every day?"
"Of course not," Qin Huai said with a smile, even though Qin Luo couldn't see his expression at all, "As long as the class is finished every day and the homework is finished, you can play however you want!"
If Qin Luo still has time to play by then.
Qin Huai said that he is a very democratic brother, respecting his sister's opinions.
At the same time, he also attaches great importance to education. As long as it is for his sister's grades, it doesn't matter if he spends a little more money.
"Great!"
Qin Huai hung up the phone.
Seeing Ouyang was stunned, holding the bowl, pointing at the phone: "Is Did Luo Luo cheated like this every holiday?"
Qin Huai waved his hand: "How can it be called cheating? Elementary school supplemented a lot. At that time, I was in high school. In order to appear fair, my parents supplemented as many subjects as I supplemented. Language, math, and English were not enough, and Olympiad math and Go were added. Now think about it, Did Luo Luo's elementary school grades were okay."
"It's just that there were fewer tutoring classes after junior high school. At that time, I had long stopped tutoring. Sometimes Did Luo Luo didn't want to tutor and made a fuss, and my parents didn't have time to manage it, so it was forgotten."
"Now is the critical time, and the family is not short of money. Supplementing a few more subjects is good for the child."
Seeing Ouyang: "Why do I feel that you just don't want Did Luo Luo to play too happily during the holiday."
"How can you say that? I am a good brother known to everyone within ten miles of our hometown," Qin Huai said with a straight face.
"Caring about my sister's studies is what I should do."

"This is a critical time, and the family isn't short on money; getting a few more tutoring sessions is good for the child."
Seeing Ouyang: "Why do I feel like you just purely don't want Did Luo Luo to have too much fun during her vacation?"
"How can you say that? I am the well-known good older brother within a ten-mile radius of our hometown." Qin Huai said with a straight face.
"Caring about my younger sister's studies is what I should do."
