Chapter 303: Worthy of being husband and wife
March 19th, Han Youxin's second birthday.
It is shameful to say that Han Youxin is clearly the true protagonist of this birthday banquet, the only birthday star, but this protagonist's sense of presence has always been very low, so low that Qin Huai didn't see this little birthday star until the birthday day.
Little fat birthday star.
Han Youxin was raised very well by General Manager Han and his wife, white and tender, with arms fat into lotus root sections.
The weather in March is still a bit cool. When Qin Huai saw Han Youxin, the little fat man was wrapped tightly and held in his mother's arms, wearing a thick brown bear-shaped cotton-padded jacket, pointing his little finger at the lamp on the ceiling and giggling.
It can be seen that Wang Jing's arm strength is good.
The weight of a two-year-old child is already not light, not to mention that Han Youxin is still a little fat man with arms fat into lotus root sections, and he is wearing so thick. Wang Jing can easily hold the child with one hand, and even use the other hand to take out her phone to send messages. It can be seen at a glance that she has practiced.
"Master Qin, I'm sorry to call you out specially at this point. It didn't delay your snack making, right?" Wang Jing's face was full of apologetic smiles, patting her son in her arms to signal Han Youxin to be quiet and not wow-wow.
"No delay." Qin Huai said.
It really didn't delay. It's only 9:00 AM now. Qin Huai was worried that he and Zang Liang wouldn't be able to handle it, so he arrived at the kitchen at 5:00 AM today.
But Qin Huai wasn't the earliest. Zang Mu arrived at 4:00 AM, and Tong Deyan arrived a little later, around 7:00 AM. The other helpers didn't need to say, basically all arrived before 6:00 AM. 【303-12
For banquets, it is always right for the kitchen staff to arrive early; it is better to be idle than to be overwhelmed at the end.
Everyone has signed a contract, and they will have to pay damages if something goes wrong.
The result of arriving early was that Qin Huai and Zang Liang quickly finished the work that needed to be done. The first batch of San Ding Bao, fermented rice steamed buns, and Four-Joy Tangyuan for taste-testing were all out of the pot. Even Qin Huai, Zang Liang, Zang Mu, and Tong Deyan each ate a bowl of longevity noodles; if it weren't for the worry that there wouldn't be enough broth, Qin Huai could have eaten several more bowls.
Back when he was at Huang Ji, there was plenty of longevity noodles, and as long as Qin Huai wanted to eat, there was broth available anytime, anywhere to cook noodles.
It was different after returning to the Yunzhong Canteen, as there were no such high-end savory dish talents in the Yunzhong Canteen.
Fifty percent of the longevity noodles is provided by the noodles, and fifty percent is provided by the broth.
Longevity noodles cooked with ordinary chicken soup are just very ordinary chicken noodle soup; only those simmered with broth are the shimmering B-grade or even B+-grade longevity noodles.
The longevity noodles cooked with the broth Zang Mu hung were B+ grade. Qin Huai himself hadn't eaten B+ grade longevity noodles for a long time, and upon eating them suddenly, he wished he could lick the bowl clean.
"May I ask, Mr. Wang, do you have any additional requirements?" Qin Huai asked.
Chen Gong had told Qin Huai that Wang Jing and Han Guishan were a self-made couple. A few years ago, Wang Jing was also a senior executive of the company, but in the last two years, she had completely retired from company affairs after achieving financial freedom and giving birth to a child, so calling her Mr. Wang was not a problem.
"It's not a requirement, it's just that yesterday Master Tong and my old Han said the menu had changed, changing the sweet soup to longevity noodles, which I think is quite good. I just want to ask if there are any ingredients in these longevity noodles that children cannot eat. Today is Youxin's birthday, so he must taste a couple of bites of the longevity noodles at the banquet later. The child has no allergies; I'm just worried that there are some things children cannot eat now."
While Wang Jing was speaking, Han Youxin began to suck his fingers. Wang Jing gently patted Han Youxin's little hand twice, and Han Youxin could only reluctantly take his finger out of his mouth.
Upon hearing that this was what Wang Jing was worried about, Qin Huai felt relieved. As an experienced savory dish chef, Tong Deyan chatted with Qin Huai on WeChat for more than 20 minutes last night, and the content of the chat was always about the ingredients needed for longevity noodles, confirming again and again to prevent any guests' dietary restrictions in the food.
"You don't need to worry about this. Master Tong already confirmed it last night. There is no problem with the ingredients, and the child can eat them completely," Qin Huai explained with a smile. "Mr. Han also specifically instructed that a small bowl of longevity noodles should be specially served for Han Youxin. The noodles should be thin and fine, with a small portion, but the length needs to be the same as ordinary longevity noodles."
Wang Jing was finally relieved and gave the nanny not far away a look. The nanny immediately walked up and took Han Youxin from Wang Jing's arms.
"That's really great. Master Qin, are you busy now? I just heard Chen Gong say that you are eating noodles in the kitchen."
Qin Huai:?
"Not... not busy."
Wang Jing's smile became even more sincere: "That's really great. I've been losing weight recently and don't eat carbohydrates at night. Last night, I asked old Han to save me some fermented rice steamed buns, San Ding Bao, and Four-Joy Tangyuan, but he ate them all and only left me one fermented rice steamed bun. After eating that bun this morning, I couldn't eat any other breakfast. Are there any noodles left in the kitchen? Give me a bowl to pad my stomach."
Qin Huai:......
Mr. Wang, you and Mr. Han are truly a couple who started from scratch and worked hard together!
"Yes," Qin Huai said, "If you don't mind, there is a first batch of trial-made San Ding Bao, fermented rice steamed buns, and Four-Joy Tangyuan. The Four-Joy Tangyuan are raw embryos that need to be boiled, the fermented rice steamed buns might be a little cold, and the San Ding Bao... it seems there are still a few raw embryos that you might have to wait a few minutes for me to steam for you."
The steamed San Ding Bao had just been finished by Zang Liang.
Wang Jing's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she still had to ask: "Are there noodles?"
"Noodles will take a while longer; hand-pulled noodles must be made on the spot."
Wang Jing's smile became even more satisfied: "No rush, it's just right to taste the San Ding Bao and Four-Joy Tangyuan. Sigh, when a person is losing weight, eating is a burden. I won't dare to eat these carbohydrates at the banquet later."
Qin Huai: 6
You don't dare to eat at the banquet but dare to eat in the kitchen, right? Mr. Wang understands weight loss.
"Then may I ask, Mr. Wang, do you want to eat noodles or?"
"Eat both. My old Han will be here in a while. If I can't finish it, he will eat it."
Qin Huai understood in a second: "Okay, I'll cook a little more."
Wang Jing nodded with satisfaction, feeling that Chen Gong really didn't lie to her; this little Master Qin is a wonderful person who can understand the subtext of others.
Ten minutes later, Wang Jing, wearing an LV skirt, a Burberry trench coat, a Gucci scarf, Valentino shoes, Cartier bracelets, a Tiffany necklace, and carrying an Hermes bag, very skillfully squatted at the entrance of the back kitchen, one foot in front and one foot behind, with half of her body leaning forward so that it would be convenient for her to see the people at the kitchen entrance.
Holding the noodles with one hand and chopsticks in the other, steady and secure, she inhaled them like a storm.
Qin Huai squatted beside her, blending in, and ate another bowl of longevity noodles.
Zang Mu, who was preparing dishes, looked at this scene in front of him with great confusion, casting a look at Tong Deyan asking if he really went to remind Qin Huai yesterday, and the only thing he got was Tong Deyan's action of desperately closing his eyes.
Zang Liang asked Zang Mu eagerly: "Master, can I..."
"Don't even think about it!"
At the entrance of the back kitchen, Wang Jing, who had been inhaling like a storm, finished a bowl of noodles heartily, then stood up to drink the soup, not forgetting to share her experience with Qin Huai: "You can squat while eating, but you must stand up when drinking the soup at the end, otherwise the soup won't go down."
"Before I met old Han, I was a waitress at a state-run restaurant. At that time, the kitchen of the state-run restaurant was not as big as the kitchens of these restaurants now, but the layout was about the same. Sometimes we would secretly cook for ourselves; we couldn't eat outside, and we couldn't go into the kitchen to delay the masters from cooking. The most important thing is that the clothes on our bodies were not clean, and we were worried about dirtying the kitchen, so we just squatted at the door and ate."
"This position and this action are especially good; it is the experience I gained from squatting for several years. Squatting here, one can see the situation outside, and if someone comes, one can stand up and put the bowl down to go out immediately. With the angle of the door opening, it is difficult for people outside to notice this place, and one won't be seen stealing food inside, which is especially safe."
"Indeed," Qin Huai said with an expression of humbly accepting instruction, "It's so practical. In the future, when I cook for my sister, I can let her try to find the angle too."
"However, my community canteen has transparent glass, and the outside can already see into the kitchen through the window. Is this angle..."
"You can always find a blind spot," Wang Jing said with great experience. "Just follow this method, and you will definitely be able to find a blind spot."
"Many thanks, Mr. Wang." "Small matter, small matter."
After drinking the noodle soup, Wang Jing changed from a state-run restaurant waitress to a retired Mr. Wang, tidied up her clothes, calmly walked to the kitchen door to tease her son, and then handed over the position to Han Guishan.
"Take it easy when eating, don't be unable to eat at noon," Wang Jing reminded.
"I know, I know," Han Guishan nodded, and then began to inhale like a storm.
Qin Huai smiled kindly at Chen Gong: "Assistant Chen, would you like a bowl of noodles?"
Chen Gong first glanced at Han Guishan, and seeing that the boss was eating heartily, he thought for two seconds and nodded.
Seeing that Han Guishan and Chen Gong had already started eating, Qin Huai returned to the cooking station to continue making dim sum. It is true that he arrived early and had plenty of time, but today is a birthday banquet and a day to work, so it is impossible for Qin Huai to pull Chen Gong to ask questions and chat about gossip like yesterday.
As for why he squatted at the door with Wang Jing to eat noodles just now...
Master Qin, who was not full, felt that accompanying Mr. Wang for a bowl would make her eat more heartily.
Seeing that Qin Huai had returned to work, Zang Liang also went back to work.
Zang Liang's work efficiency is very high; the ingredients that should be cut and prepared had already been cut and prepared, and now he is cutting and preparing ingredients that exceed the amount for the birthday banquet.
Doing a little more is definitely fine; Mr. Han can eat it.
Qin Huai is adjusting the filling for the Four-Joy Tangyuan. With his current master-level filling adjustment, let alone chatting while adjusting the filling, even if he closed his eyes while chatting and adjusting the filling, there would be no problem with the filling.
"Zang Liang, what kind of people would work wholeheartedly for a company?" Qin Huai asked.
Zang Liang was chopping meat and dared not be distracted. His eyes were fixed on the meat, and his thinking was half a beat slower than usual. After thinking about it, he said: "Those with high wages?"
"When I first followed my master to learn cooking, I was an apprentice and had no wages. At that time, I envied the dishwasher in the kitchen. The dishwasher made more than 2,000 a month. I felt at that time that 2,000 yuan a month could not be spent at all. If you gave me 2,000 a month, I could work in the kitchen until I died!"
"Then I'll change the way I ask. Suppose there are spirits in this world, and spirits will change their life direction and habits because of obsession. Then what kind of obsession would make spirits follow the boss wholeheartedly, bowing down and working until their death?"
Facing Qin Huai's very strange and eccentric question, Zang Liang accepted it well. He is a good friend of Tan Weian, and Tan Weian told Zang Liang that Qin Huai has the problem of imagining that he has a game system and issuing tasks to rate dishes.
After seeing Qin Huai's filling adjustment level, Zang Liang felt that any problem Qin Huai had could be accepted.
Gu Li of Zhi Wei Ju also has the problem of working 14 hours a day.
For Qin Huai to have such cooking skills at this age, if his brain didn't have some problems, it would really be unreasonable.
Zang Liang began to think seriously.
This question was actually discussed by Qin Huai on video in the "Loving Family" group last night.
After a day of chatting yesterday, Qin Huai could basically conclude that Chen Gong's obsession is related to work, and it might be something like wanting to be a good employee.
The obsessions of spirits are strange and varied, and it is not strange to have any kind of obsession. Chen Gong's current state is in the process of awakening, which shows that he has already encountered the opportunity for awakening. According to his performance, the opportunity for this awakening is probably Han Guishan.
These were analyzed by Qin Huai yesterday afternoon, and after a night of discussion, only these conclusions were obtained.
The number one spirit analyst, Luo Jun, encountered Waterloo when facing a pervert like Chen Gong who loves to go to work and whose obsession is even related to going to work, and was unable to analyze, expressing that he neither understood nor respected it.
Chen Huihong guessed that Chen Gong might be short of money, and the obsession is not necessarily related to work but might be related to money, so Chen Gong is wholeheartedly devoted to him because Han Guishan gave him an annual salary of 7 million.
Qu Jing felt that Chen Gong's wholehearted devotion has nothing to do with money, mainly because of Han Guishan. Chen Gong's obsession might be a person, and Han Guishan happens to be very similar to the person he has an obsession with.
Qin Huai felt that their guesses were unreliable and planned to find a pure human who is not a spirit to analyze it rationally.
Zang Liang thought for a long time.
"Then it might be because... he feels the boss is a very good person?"
"Actually, I didn't want to learn cooking when I was a child. At that time, my family was poor and had no money. My parents felt that I had talent in this area, and it happened that my uncle was a chef. My parents felt that being a chef could make money, so I followed my master to learn cooking since I was a child."
"At that time, I cried and made a scene every day, didn't want to live in my master's house and wanted to go home, didn't want to practice cutting vegetables and wanted to watch TV, and used every method of throwing a tantrum."
"My master couldn't send me back. My parents lied to me that being a chef is bitter when you are young, but you can make a lot of money when you grow up. If you want to play, you can go anywhere; if you want to eat, you can eat anything; you can throw away one candy after eating one, and pour away one bottle of cola after drinking one."
"I was tricked back again."
"When I first learned to cook, I just wanted to learn quickly and make money. At that time, I envied the dishwasher, envied the water station, envied the cutting station, envied the helper, and felt that they all had wages and were not as tired as me, which was simply too cool."
"But after a long time, I didn't envy them anymore, because I had a particularly good master, and it was their turn to envy me."
"Substituting myself, if I were to be wholeheartedly devoted to my boss or my master, bowing down and working until my death for some reason, it would probably not be because of money. Of course, it is best if there is more money, and if there is a lot, it is another matter. But I still feel that people are very important. First of all, he must be a person worthy of me doing so."
Qin Huai instantly looked at Zang Liang with admiration. Don't look at him as a person with connections; he is actually a person with thoughts, pursuits, and depth.
Qin Huai felt that the angle provided by Zang Liang was very good and was the most like an answer.
The money must be in place, and the person must also be good.
If this is the case, the breakthrough point for touching Chen Gong's side quest might be on Han Guishan.
Raiding other spirits requires building a good relationship with the spirits, while raiding Chen Gong requires building a good relationship with his boss.
"Are you tired?" Qin Huai asked.
"Not tired. The amount of preparation today is quite small, not even one-third of my usual amount. I found that you pastry chefs are much cooler than us savory dish chefs. Your preparation is not complicated at all, and the amount is large."
Qin Huai showed a smile: "Then do you mind doing a little more work?"
Zang Liang:? Isn't he already working?
"I plan to make an extra 30 jin of San Ding Bao and 50 jin of Four-Joy Tangyuan. Sorry for the trouble, please. I'll cook longevity noodles for you to eat in a while."
"If there is enough broth, I'll cook a pot for you!"
"30 jin of San Ding Bao and 50 jin of Four-Joy Tangyuan ingredients, right? Don't worry, leave it to me!"
