Chapter 324: Crab Roe Mixed Noodles

By the time Zheng Siyuan returned from his autism in the bathroom, Qin Huai was already eating double-crab buns.

The crashed double-crab buns.

When Qin Huai truly ate the double-crab buns, he understood why Zheng Da said that making bun filling taste like a dish was a crash.

Because it didn't match.

The filling was delicious, and the dough was delicious, but the combination of the two made people feel strange.

This feeling was like chocolate being delicious, and xiaolongbao being delicious, but if you forcibly stuffed chocolate into the filling of xiaolongbao, then...

Then it wasn't a question of violating the ancestors' decision; it was a serious problem that should be dragged out and checked for taste buds with Ouyang.

There wasn't much of the half-bottle of crab roe paste; Zheng Siyuan made a total of 18 double-crab buns. Of course, these double-crab buns wouldn't be taken for customers to try. Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan, the two who needed to make them, ate a few more, and the rest could be shared with those who had good relationships, could offer opinions, or could provide emotional value to taste.

Seeing Zheng Siyuan return, Qin Huai switched back to work mode.

"It really can't be done like this for double-crab buns." Qin Huai had an expression of serious discussion. "Double-crab buns are different from Guo'er; Guo'er just put bun filling into dough fruit. Both are snacks, and there is no essential difference."

"Yours is a bit like stuffing quail egg braised pork into fermented rice steamed buns; both are delicious, and they are delicious when eaten separately, but they don't work when combined."

"I know." Zheng Siyuan was obviously not successful in "Longchang enlightenment" in the bathroom, which was normal; he didn't really have a system like Qin Huai.

Qin Huai really had tasks to check in the bathroom, and really had video tutorials to learn.

Zheng Siyuan really wanted to calm down in the bathroom.

"I can only say that I have learned it, but I don't know how to make it." Zheng Siyuan's mood was still a bit low. As a famous genius, Zheng Siyuan really rarely crashed like this since he was a child, and it was in a teaching situation. "I was just thinking, did I intentionally increase the heavy ingredients, but it backfired?"

Qin Huai gave a look to An Youyou, who was eating double-crab buns on the side, and An Youyou understood on the spot.

An Youyou swallowed the bun in her mouth and sighed in her usual sincere and exaggerated tone: "But this bun is really delicious!"

An Youyou held the bun that had been gnawed to only a small half in her hand, her face full of the happiness of eating delicious food, her smile sincere, her eyes bright as if there was light, making false words so convincing with sincere acting.

"I have never eaten this kind of bun. I only knew about crab roe mixed noodles before, but I haven't eaten them; they are too expensive. I originally planned to save some more money and go eat crab roe mixed noodles, but now I think this bun must be more delicious than crab roe mixed noodles. This bun is the delicious taste of crab roe mixed noodles in my imagination."

"Master Xiao Zheng, can you let me try it when you and Master Qin try making this bun in the future? It's really too delicious!"

An Youyou didn't say a single professional term, but it was more effective than more professional and more praising evaluations.

Zheng Siyuan's mood improved immediately, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Of course."

"The buns that Master Qin and I make in the future will definitely be better than today's."

An Youyou reached her hand behind her back and gave Qin Huai an "OK" gesture. Qin Huai smiled and took over the topic: "You come and taste it too; let's study together where the problem is. Aren't we going to study the sauce first and then the buns?"

"Put this problem aside first; let's study the sauce."

Mentioning business, Zheng Siyuan was in no mood to "emo" or be happy, grabbed a bun, and started reflecting while eating.

That afternoon, Zheng Siyuan and Qin Huai started researching crab roe paste.

The way the two researched crab roe paste was also very simple: exhaustion method, try.

Zheng Siyuan had almost collected all the crab roe paste that could be bought on the market and those that couldn't be bought on the market at home. When he came to work in the morning, he brought all these crab roe pastes to Yunzhong Canteen, full and enough for 8 big boxes, making Qin Huai sigh that the competition in the crab roe paste market was really too fierce.

How profitable is this thing? So many merchants sell it.

Zheng Siyuan hadn't tasted all the crab roe paste he brought—he had only eaten a part of it.

Zheng Siyuan's habit was to process and simmer every jar he tasted into the version of crab roe paste he wanted. This was because Zheng Siyuan knew what type of crab roe paste was needed for double-crab buns; he had eaten truly successful double-crab buns, and he had ideas and directions.

But Qin Huai didn't have any of these; Qin Huai had only eaten the crashed ones. A child who had only eaten rotten bananas since childhood wouldn't know how sweet normal bananas were. Qin Huai was that child who had only eaten rotten bananas so far, plus Qin Huai was very good at the exhaustion method for making snacks for so many years, so he opened every kind of crab roe paste Zheng Siyuan bought.

The two didn't do anything all afternoon, just tasted sauce.

The cooking tables in the back kitchen were filled with crab roe paste.

Although Qin Huai hadn't eaten the successful version and had no ideas, he had a sense of taste, and it was an excellent sense of taste. Based on Zheng Siyuan's basic description, Qin Huai divided these crab roe pastes into three categories.

The first category was the high-quality "you get what you pay for" type, basically coming from Huang Ji's supplier channels and boutique crab roe paste bought at high prices online.

These crab roe pastes had no problems in material selection; the quality of the crab roe used was quite good, and there were no miscellaneous things added during the production process, and no shoddy work to reduce costs. They were well-deserved top-grade products.

However, considering that the crab roe paste needed for double-crab buns might not need such good top-grade products, Qin Huai decided to take a little to mix with noodles first.

The staff meal of Yunzhong Canteen tonight must be crab roe mixed noodles!

This crab roe was really too delicious. Qin Huai didn't get tired of eating crab roe all afternoon; on the contrary, he became more greedy the more he ate, wishing he could stretch a bowl of noodles on the spot, boil them, and mix them with crab roe.

The second category was intermediate quality. There was no problem with the raw materials, but to reduce costs, some things that shouldn't be added were added more or less, such as small things like crab meat, fish meat, and chicken meat to make up the numbers. A large amount of seasonings were used to try to cover up the taste, letting these low-cost ingredients mix in, but it couldn't hide from Qin Huai's tongue.

This category was the one Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan were most optimistic about. Their ingredients were heavy enough, and the flavors were strong. Although they weren't very pure crab roe paste in terms of ingredients, the taste wasn't bad.

The third category was pure garbage. Qin Huai felt that the crab roe content of the most outrageous one was even less than 5%. Not to mention that it was all "technology and ruthless work," the starch content was at least not lower than 40%. The taste wasn't enough, so various additives were used to make up for it. The taste was strong enough, and outrageous enough; using it to make double-crab buns would probably anger Xu Nuo, who loved double-crab buns, back to life.

"Which ones have you selected now?" Zheng Siyuan asked Qin Huai.

Qin Huai pointed to 4 types in the second category and 1 type in the first category. Zheng Siyuan looked at the crab roe paste pointed out by Qin Huai and didn't pay too much attention to the second category; he also liked those 4 types.

His attention was focused on the first category.

This was the highest quality, best material, and most expensive purchase price among all the crab roe pastes Zheng Siyuan brought, provided by a supplier of Huang Ji.

The raw materials were very clean, only adding the most basic things needed to make crab roe paste, and the taste was very pure. The only problem was that the raw materials were too clean, causing the sauce to even have a little bit of crab roe fishiness.

"You chose this because it's the best for secondary processing?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

"Not really." Qin Huai said. "I just think this sauce is quite good and worthy of double-crab buns."

"A feeling, I guess. I think this sauce is quite delicious after processing, not only for double-crab buns, but also for crab roe mixed noodles. Did you buy a lot? Is there any left at home? Why don't I just use this jar to make crab roe mixed noodles tonight."

Zheng Siyuan: "Use it; there's enough."

Qin Huai went to knead dough happily, glanced at the time, and found that Qin Luo had already finished school. Before kneading dough, he didn't forget to send messages to Qin Luo, Ouyang, and the "Love Each Other Family" group.

Qin Luo replied in seconds, and it was a voice message.

Qin Huai clicked directly.

"Wow, crab roe mixed noodles! Brother, I love you so much. How did you know I really wanted to eat this recently! I'm on the bus now and will be at the canteen in 20 minutes. Wait for me; I want to eat 5 bowls!"

Qin Huai also replied with a voice message in seconds. "Isn't your mobile phone with Mom? The smart watch was also confiscated; where did you get the mobile phone?"

Zheng Siyuan, who was stir-frying crab roe paste on the side:...

Zheng Siyuan looked at Qin Huai deeply: "You are really..."

Qin Huai smiled slightly: "Just the self-cultivation of a brother."

Finally, when everyone gathered in the back kitchen, each holding a bowl of crab roe mixed noodles and eating heartily, only Qin Luo became sadder the more she ate, almost dropping tears into the bowl while eating.

The mobile phone she bought secretly was confiscated again, and at the same time, the New Year's money that hadn't been spent during the New Year was also temporarily confiscated, to be returned to her after the summer vacation.

Qin Luo sniffed, stuffed a big mouthful of noodles into her mouth as if taking revenge, eating until her cheeks bulged.

"Brother, are there any more noodles? I want to eat 7 bowls today!"

Qin Huai & Qin Congwen & Zhao Rong:...

"Who exactly does this child take after?" Zhao Rong was full of confusion.

"Yeah." Qin Congwen was also very confused. "Who does this appetite take after? I couldn't eat this much when I was young!"

Zhao Rong:...

Zhao Rong, who found the answer, glared at her husband angrily, then lowered her head to eat noodles.

At this time, some people might be curious: who are the people eating?

Answer: Luo Jun, Chen Huihong, Chen Huihui, Ouyang, Wang Gensheng, Zheng Siyuan, and Qin Huai's family.

Qu Jing was working the night shift today and didn't have time to come back to eat crab roe mixed noodles.

Among the people eating noodles, there was a very abrupt but most reasonable person—Wang Gensheng.

Double-crab buns were his side quest.

Although crab roe mixed noodles had nothing to do with double-crab buns, it didn't hinder Qin Huai from using this aspect to brush up on Old Man Wang's favorability.

Yes, it was time to brush up on Old Man Wang's favorability.

Old Man Wang, who was upright all his life, didn't keep fake accounts or accept bribes, but he could eat some "small stove" (special meals).

Old Man Wang felt a bit guilty eating this small stove.

He also ate small stoves before. When he first introduced Zheng Da and Qin Huai, because of the introduction, Old Man Wang often ate small stoves of crab shell yellow. Later at Huang Ji, after Qin Huai discovered that Old Man Wang was also a "spirit," Old Man Wang could eat more small stoves. Whether it was Huang Ji's sumptuous dinner or the snacks Qin Huai usually made, there was a share for Old Man Wang.

In the eyes of Xu Tuqiang, Grandma Ding, and Old Man Qian, Wang Gensheng had already left the organization, betrayed his class, and became a "relationship household" second only to Chen Huihong and Luo Jun, living the way they envied.

Wang Gensheng himself thought so too.

He felt that although he had a better relationship with Master Xiao Qin, he didn't have such a deep friendship as Chen Huihong and Luo Jun. Usually, he just ate two more mouthfuls than everyone else; Qin Huai wouldn't specifically make snacks or leave snacks for him.

But today's crab roe mixed noodles...

While sitting on a small stool and eating noodles cautiously, Wang Gensheng looked at the people around him wolfing down noodles with some confusion, with only one question in his heart.

Should he appear on this occasion today?

Since when did his "relationship household" level become so high that he was eating on the same small stool as Luo Jun, Chen Huihong, Chen Huihui, and Ouyang, and even ate into the back kitchen of Yunzhong Canteen?

Although it was inside the back kitchen of the warehouse area, it was still inside the back kitchen.

Friends who often eat small stoves know that if food can be eaten into the back kitchen, this relationship is already very unusual.

Wang Gensheng began to think about whether he had done anything special recently to make Master Xiao Qin look at him differently?

Was it because his food reviews recently were written particularly well?

Although he wrote a lot—four-joy tangyuan, vegetable buns, and mung bean cakes were all written—Master Xiao Qin didn't read them; he posted them directly to Moments after writing.

This trick was invented by Xu Tuqiang. When Qin Huai was at Huang Ji, he let the grandpas and grandmas write a lot of food reviews, and the grandpas and grandmas got used to writing them. They saved a bunch during the New Year, preparing to give Qin Huai a surprise after the New Year, but Qin Huai didn't want them anymore.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Xu Tuqiang posted the food reviews written during the New Year to Moments and got Qin Huai's "like."

Then it attracted the grandpas and grandmas who bought houses in Gusu to follow suit and go crazy posting Moments. Who didn't save 10 or 8 food reviews of four-joy tangyuan during the New Year? Some had inventory—post!

Wang Gensheng began to think about whether he had written any sincere food reviews that could make people's eyes shine recently. He thought for a long time to no avail, because Qin Huai only liked and didn't comment.

Wang Gensheng ate a mouthful of crab roe mixed noodles and continued to think.

Could it be that someone spoke well of him in front of Master Xiao Qin recently?

That shouldn't be; among the people he knew, there shouldn't be anyone so kind. Everyone was too late to speak well of themselves; how could anyone have the leisure to help him speak well?

Wang Gensheng shook his head and continued to eat noodles.

These crab roe mixed noodles are really delicious. The noodles are hand-rubbed by Master Xiao Qin. After boiling and scooping out, they are directly passed through cold water, making the noodles more chewy and easier to be covered with sauce.

The crab roe paste after secondary processing and stir-frying is more fragrant. The fragrance after the crab oil is stir-fried out is something that everyone who loves crab roe products cannot refuse. Not to mention that Master Xiao Zheng also lightly thickened it with starch, making the crab roe paste thicker, with sufficient ingredients, high quality, rich taste, and no fishy smell of crab roe.

"Slurp."

Wang Gensheng ate a big mouthful happily again, feeling that he had really written too many food reviews recently; as long as he ate something, he couldn't help but start writing food reviews in his brain.

Sigh, whatever the reason, anyway, I earned it today!

Wang Gensheng continued to eat crab roe mixed noodles happily, completely unaware that Qin Huai had walked to his side.

"Old Man Wang."

Qin Huai's sudden opening startled Wang Gensheng, who hurriedly put down his bowl and looked at Qin Huai, just like a student suddenly called up in class to answer a question.

"How do you feel about today's crab roe mixed noodles?"

Wang Gensheng:!

He knew it; it was because his food reviews recently were written very well, all sincere, unlike Xu Tuqiang and those people who were full of false flattery, so he was favored by Master Xiao Qin and chosen to eat crab roe mixed noodles today!

"Delicious, very delicious!"

"It's just that the crab roe flavor is a bit too rich; it would be better if it were a bit lighter and had more other flavors."
