Chapter 292: So delicious!

~17 min read 3,306 words

The employees in the kitchen of Yunzhong Canteen were already stunned.

If it could be said that when eating the first bite of Tangyuan, because they had never eaten such delicious Tangyuan, they screamed out, could whisper to colleagues, could look up at Qin Huai with respectful eyes, and could make the "holy crap" sound endless.

When eating the second Tangyuan, many people were already silent.

Everyone was eating randomly.

Some people ate sweet filling for the first one, some people ate meat filling for the first one; unlike diners like Chen Huihong who have rich tasting experience and review writing experience and know the correct order, they don't necessarily eat Four-Joy Tangyuan in the correct order.

But this doesn't matter.

B-rank Four-Joy Tangyuan needs to be particular about the order, A-rank Four-Joy Tangyuan kills directly.

You say you should eat sweet first, then salty, and finally end with sweet; eating like this won't be greasy, and you can taste the layers better, and it's not easy to mix flavors.

The employees in the kitchen of Yunzhong Canteen tell you they are not afraid of mixing flavors.

Holy crap, such a delicious big Tangyuan, what are you afraid of mixing flavors for!

Meat filling, delicious!

Bean paste filling, awesome!

Sesame sugar filling, hammering the sesame sugar shortbread made by Both Pei Xing to the ground.

Hundred-fruit filling, five-nut/hundred-fruit mooncake, don't contact me again; I'm afraid the hundred-fruit filling Tangyuan will misunderstand.

What order, what combination, none of it matters; it's delicious, that's it.

They are all in one bowl, to be eaten into the mouth; it doesn't necessarily have to be combined before entering the mouth; it can be combined in the stomach.

Qin Huai has seen the world at Huang Ji for so long and has a certain degree of understanding of the current state of domestic red-case dishes and white-case snacks.

To summarize in one sentence, white-case is not good.

White-case only has Zhi Wei Ju as a fighter; the rest don't need to talk about being able to fight; if you catch Both Pei Xing and Chen An to ask, they might not be able to name the second white-case restaurant that is relatively famous nationwide.

It's not that there are no other famous white-case masters in restaurants nationwide. There must be masters, but the restaurants where these masters work must have red-case masters who are more famous than them.

You can see it by looking at the ranking of the famous chef list; the top 10 of the famous chef list have Chinese chefs, Qin Huai vaguely remembers that the first place seems to be a Chinese chef working in the US. But the highest-ranked Chinese white-case chef, Master Zhou of Zhi Wei Ju, only ranked 41st.

White-case is declining; this is a recognized fact.

This also means that ordinary people like An Youyou and Chen An find it difficult to eat truly delicious white-case snacks.

Unless they happen to live in Hangzhou and often patronize Zhi Wei Ju, otherwise most of the snacks they eat on weekdays might not be as delicious as the snacks produced by the factory under Zheng Da's name.

Qin Huai doesn't mean to insult Chen An's craft, but objectively speaking, the chicken cake made by Chen An is really not as delicious as the snacks produced on the assembly line of Zheng Da's factory.

Zheng Da's snack business can be done so well, not only because he knows how to do business, but also because he really understands snacks, very much so.

Compared to white-case, the difficulty for ordinary people to eat delicious red-case dishes is much smaller.

Just go to a well-known restaurant.

Take Huang Ji as an example; when Huang Shengli is in good health and can go to work normally, his signature dishes require extra money or even advance booking. But for ordinary dishes, Huang Ji's kitchen mixes them; if you are lucky, you can open a blind box and get dishes made by Huang Shengli.

Huang Ji queued up for a long time some time ago because it was on "Zhi Wei" and became a "Zhi Wei" limited internet-famous shop. Under normal circumstances, Huang Ji doesn't queue much, and it won't queue for a long time when Huang Shengli is there; just go early.

It can be said that as long as you are willing to do homework and spend a little more money, ordinary people can eat dishes made by red-case masters.

Under such circumstances, Qin Huai's A-rank snacks will be set off as very delicious.

Much more delicious than equivalent A-rank dishes, because they haven't heard of it, haven't seen it, and don't know where else to eat it besides here.

In many people's hearts, buns and steamed buns are not as good as braised pork and elbow, because buns and steamed buns are ordinary breakfast, cheap flour snacks, while braised pork and elbow are big dishes and good dishes, carefully cooked dishes.

But when the taste of buns and steamed buns becomes as delicious as braised pork and elbow, or even more delicious than braised pork and elbow, the situation changes.

Satisfaction is doubled, and the surprise is super doubled.

When something is so good that it exceeds your imagination, this thing will be beautified by you to 120 points or even more on the basis of the original 100 points.

Now Four-Joy Tangyuan has been beautified to 150 points by the employees of Yunzhong Canteen.

An Youyou and Chen An have tasted Qin Huai's craft, but there are many helpers who haven't tasted Qin Huai's craft, and many haven't even seen Qin Huai.

With a bowl of Four-Joy Tangyuan in their stomach, Qin Huai's image in their hearts is no longer the boss.

It's the boss shining with golden light!

It's the boss who wants to cry and shout: Boss, is this what we eat for employee meals from now on? Boss, please, I want to eat this for employee meals in the future!

By the time they finished eating, there was no "holy crap" sound in the kitchen.

There was no sound in the kitchen, only silent chewing.

An Youyou drank all the soup; if the soup didn't really have any flavor, An Youyou even wanted to lick the bowl.

"Master Xiao Qin, it's not 5:50 AM yet; what should I do now?" An Youyou asked with full energy.

Qin Huai glanced at the radishes An Youyou chopped; he originally just wanted to teach An Youyou how to hold the knife by showing off, letting her chop some radishes to adapt, and didn't really want An Youyou to chop radishes.

He had to chop these radishes.

As a result, An Youyou's work efficiency was too high; Qin Huai didn't tell her how much to chop, so she didn't stop, chopping all the radish cake amount Qin Huai had to make in the morning.

"Go help Chen An; wait, can you make tea?" Qin Huai looked at An Youyou.

An Youyou:......?

"I can, I can, Master Xiao Qin, I can make tea!" A voice that wasn't very familiar came from outside the kitchen, getting closer and closer.

Following the sound, Qin Huai saw Both Pei Xing waving frantically at the kitchen door.

Qin Huai:?

Is this the time for the snack master to go to work?

5 o'clock in the morning... our Yunzhong Canteen doesn't exploit snack masters like this, right?

"Master Xiao Qin, I can make tea! What do you want to drink? Guanyin, Longjing, Pu'er, Liuan Guapian, Phoenix Dancong, or..."

"Anything is fine; see what you have." Qin Huai said.

"Alright!" Both Pei Xing said excitedly, feeling that he had scored a point.

Hahahaha, thanks to him living close, he had an advantage over Li Hua, so he could set an alarm for 5 o'clock and then ride an electric scooter to the canteen at lightning speed.

Looking at Both Pei Xing making tea, only one sentence was in everyone's mind in the kitchen:

Rolling up.

The next second, everyone moved.

Those who had work to do did work, and those who didn't have work to do created conditions to do work.

Seeing everyone working so actively, Qin Huai felt that he had found back a bit of the feeling of being Master Qin in Huang Ji's kitchen; it would be even better if Both Pei Xing's tea was to his taste.

Qin Huai returned to the kitchen counter and continued to make Four-Joy Tangyuan.

Although there were many snacks to make today, Four-Joy Tangyuan was the protagonist.

This was the debut of Four-Joy Tangyuan in Yunzhong Canteen; it must give all diners a surprise, letting everyone know that Master Xiao Qin's advanced studies for these few months were not in vain.

So that when he goes to Huang Ji for advanced studies in the second half of this year, everyone's sadness might be less.

"Master Qin, this is the dough I kneaded; see if there are any problems."

5:57 AM, Qin Huai completely found back the feeling of being Master Qin in Yunzhong Canteen.

Both Pei Xing's dough was just kneaded; as a white-case chef who is good at making various shortbread and oil-shortbread snacks, Both Pei Xing's dough was actually kneaded well.

He was a serious formal training graduate, and also had Pei Shenghua, this distant cousin, to introduce him to the door, so his basic skills were very solid. Just looking at the dough, Qin Huai felt that Both Pei Xing was stronger than Gu Li and worse than Tan Weian.

Can teach.

Qin Huai can be Master Qin in front of Tan Weian.

In front of the master, Qin Huai is Xiao Qin, apprentice Xiao Qin. But in front of his peers, Qin Huai is Master Qin who deserves the name.

"This is the dough for peach crisps." Qin Huai saw it at a glance.

He didn't know much about shortbread and oil-shortbread snacks, but peach crisps and shortbread were snacks Zheng Siyuan often made, and Qin Huai had seen Zheng Siyuan make them.

"Yes." Both Pei Xing nodded.

"I've eaten the peach crisps you made yesterday; they haven't been selling very well recently, right?" Qin Huai asked with a smile.

Both Pei Xing lowered his head with some shame: "Yes... it is a bit. Among the snacks I'm good at, peach crisps and ordinary shortbread are the easiest to produce in quantity; the quantity is large, they sell cheaply, and they are usually made a lot and left over a lot."

"I also want to practice more, so I..." Qin Huai waved his hands: "I don't mean to blame you; I ate it yesterday and tasted a little problem."

"These kinds of snacks are usually fragrant when they are just out of the pot, so they sell well. Eating them while they are hot can cover up many problems, and the problems appear after they cool down, so they are not easy to sell."

"I can't say too much about the heat control; you know my heat control, it might not be as good as yours; I can say a few words about the dough."

"Your dough is not kneaded through; I don't know if you understand my description. In my opinion, your dough is not completely kneaded; it is not obedient enough; the dough cannot be too porcelain-like, and the amount of shortening cannot be less."

"A good dough should be that the moment you let go, you feel it is very beautiful and obedient, rather than feeling that it is okay, it is right, it is qualified."

Only when teaching people did Qin Huai find that Zheng Da's barren language couldn't be blamed entirely on him.

Qin Huai looked at Both Pei Xing expectantly, hoping he could understand his abstract language.

Both Pei Xing was comprehending.

After all, he was a formal training graduate, and Both Pei Xing comprehended a little bit.

"I know, thank you Master Qin!" Both Pei Xing said excitedly, "I'll go try again now!"

Qin Huai nodded, didn't say much, and didn't ask what Both Pei Xing knew.

Those from Zhi Wei Ju are all like this; no matter how much they understand, the emotional feedback to the master must be sufficient. As for whether they specifically understand or not, it depends on what he makes next time.

Qin Huai glanced at Both Pei Xing, seeing that he had started to work with full vitality, picked up the teacup on the side and drank it in one gulp, continuing to make Tangyuan.

Don't say, Both Pei Xing's tea is not bad, worthy of being a formal training graduate, it is professional.

An Youyou watched from the side and was very envious, whispering: "When will I be able to be guided by Master Xiao Qin to knead dough like Master Pei."

Chen An, who was kneading dough, smiled: "Wait until you chop radishes well."

"Master Xiao Qin doesn't let me chop radishes anymore; is it because my radish chopping is too bad?" An Youyou was very distressed, "Should I buy some radishes and take them home to chop myself after work?"

Chen An just smiled: "Hurry up and work; Old Man Xu and the others should be here soon."

Chen An was not wrong; Xu Tuqiang and the others should indeed be here; to be precise, they had arrived long ago, but didn't dare to enter.

The diners of Yunzhong Canteen, to be precise, the old men and women living nearby, strictly observed the rules they had agreed upon with each other.

For example, don't harass Master Xiao Qin directly, don't give high-priced gifts to bribe Master Xiao Qin, don't have bad events like Xu Tuqiang borrowing fermented rice steamed buns last time.

Also can't enter Yunzhong Canteen before 6 AM.

Master Xiao Qin is such a good person; if this group of roll kings who couldn't sleep anyway rolled their breakfast time forward, rolling from 6 o'clock to 5:30, from 5:30 to 5 o'clock, then Master Xiao Qin wouldn't rest.

Don't say any ghost talk like I just went in early and sat without eating; you are already in, aren't you putting pressure on Master Xiao Qin?

Therefore, everyone agreed that they could only enter the canteen after 6 AM.

Even if they had walked to the door of Yunzhong Canteen at 5:57 AM, they had to shake for three more minutes outside before coming in.

6 o'clock sharp, the old men and women who had been looking forward to it since yesterday afternoon, looking forward to it so much that they didn't eat much dinner, hungry and waiting to be fed, filed in.

Along with the old men and women, there were also several office workers nearby who came in at the point.

Among them was Xiao Zhang.

Among them was Xiao Zhang.

For the bitter office workers, sleep in the morning is more important than anything; they can sleep one minute more if they can. Unless it is nectar and jade dew, eight treasures and jade food, nothing can make them get up a few hours early to eat breakfast.

Xiao Zhang did it.

He remembered what Master Xiao Qin said yesterday, that there were new products this morning, and dining in was more delicious.

Xiao Zhang was ready!

He prepared sufficient funds!

He prepared to eat at least three Five Ding Bao this morning!

Xiao Zhang queued up with the old men and women, and couldn't help but poke his head toward the window while queuing, wanting to see what the new product was.

Actually, the menu for the new product was already up: Four-Joy Tangyuan.

Xiao Zhang heard the old man in front discussing.

"Four-Joy Tangyuan 68, Xiao Qin's Tangyuan is cheap enough. I remember Huang Ji's premium San Ding Bao sells for 56, Guo'er 98 each, this Four-Joy Tangyuan is a large bowl, only selling for 68."

"How can you calculate it like that? I think premium San Ding Bao is more delicious. Don't know if they sell premium San Ding Bao today; it would be even better if they could sell Guo'er."

"Shh, speak softly; what if Master Xiao Qin hears it?"

"My mistake, my mistake, then do you eat Four-Joy Tangyuan?"

"Of course I have to eat it; even if I can't eat it, I have to pack it and take it back! Have you written your eating experience? I wrote 12!"

"I wrote 16!"

"My word count is long!"

"My 16!"

Looking at the two old men who were inexplicably comparing and almost quarreling in the process of queuing, Xiao Zhang felt that he didn't understand this world a bit.

Do you have to write eating experience to eat Four-Joy Tangyuan?

The requirements for snacks these days are so high.

Xiao Zhang raised a smile.

It doesn't matter; he has to write work reports every week; he is good at this.

The old men and women ordered food very quickly, and the waiter served food very quickly—all were prepared in advance.

Soon it was Xiao Zhang's turn.

"May... may I ask what there is?" Xiao Zhang came to Yunzhong Canteen for the first time so early to dine in and had no experience. Even though he had seen everyone in front of him holding buns and Four-Joy Tangyuan, he couldn't help but ask.

"There are Four-Joy Tangyuan and premium San Ding Bao made by Master Xiao Qin. Since it is premium San Ding Bao, it will be a bit more expensive than before, 36 yuan each, Four-Joy Tangyuan 68 a bowl."

"There are also mung bean soup, soy milk, tea eggs, fried dough sticks, and shumai here; Chen Pi tea can only start selling in about 20 minutes."

If it were normal times, Xiao Zhang might have felt like retreating when hearing this price, but today he was fully prepared.

He hadn't eaten snacks made by Master Xiao Qin for several months, and sometimes he hated his past self in the middle of the night for not eating a few more Five Ding Bao because he couldn't bear the money.

"One bowl of Four-Joy Tangyuan, two San Ding Bao, one tea egg, thank you." Xiao Zhang paid.

The waiter served the food at light speed, and Xiao Zhang took the tray and found an empty seat by the window to sit down.

Eat Four-Joy Tangyuan first; this is a new product, a new product Master Xiao Qin specifically exhorted him yesterday.

Because Xiao Zhang was too excited, he didn't even recognize that Four-Joy Tangyuan was a big Tangyuan.

He thought it was some strange-shaped snack.

Xiao Zhang scooped up a hundred-fruit filling Tangyuan and bit down.

Symbolizing blessings for a beautiful future, the filling, which is extremely rich in ingredients but not complex in taste, mainly walnut and almond flavor, with a strong sweet taste of winter melon sugar, permeated in Xiao Zhang's mouth.

Xiao Zhang had never eaten winter melon sugar.

He had never eaten any hundred-fruit filling snacks, not even five-nut mooncakes.

But he knew this sweet glutinous rice skin ball was very delicious.

The texture is good, the taste is good, everything is good.

For Xiao Zhang, hundred-fruit filling Tangyuan is a brand new, delicious, unique, and wonderful new snack.

If it were for such a bowl of snacks, Xiao Zhang felt he could appropriately sacrifice sleep to get up early.

At worst, don't play with the phone when going home after work at night, just go to sleep directly, and play with the phone after eating breakfast.

So delicious!

It's the kind of delicious that is 5 minutes before getting off work, the leader suddenly says to have a meeting, and you won't want to beat the leader after eating!

Delicious!
