Chapter 353: The Awakened Spirit

After a simple wash, Qin Huai walked into the kitchen.

The soup Cao Guixiang hung was generally clear soup; she mainly used clear soup for cooking. However, Three-Shred Shark Fin needed to use golden soup, which was chicken high soup hung into a golden color, so Cao Guixiang actually hung two pots of soup.

Qin Huai could only use clear soup to boil chicken soup noodles.

A bit extravagant.

Before kneading the dough, Qin Huai secretly drank a small mouthful of clear soup.

Fresh.

Very fresh.

Impeccably fresh.

The most important thing about high soup is freshness, bringing the taste of all ingredients together in the soup at the end. Theoretically, no matter what dish you make, as long as you pour a spoonful of high soup, the taste of this dish will definitely not be bad.

Cao Guixiang's soup-hanging technique was very superb. The clear soup looked very clear at first glance, like bubbling water. After Qin Huai drank a small mouthful, he drank another mouthful with unfinished meaning before starting to knead the dough.

Zhang Chu, who seemed to be sitting in the restaurant playing with his mobile phone but was actually secretly aiming at the kitchen, saw Qin Huai secretly drink two mouthfuls of soup and whispered to Cao Guixiang: "Xiao Qin has the same problem as me. When I was in Qiu County, every time you hung soup, I couldn't help but go to the kitchen to secretly drink two mouthfuls."

Cao Guixiang:...

Cao Guixiang said helplessly: "You still have the face to say that you, a father, took the lead in secretly drinking soup. Chiyuan and Siyu followed suit. A pot of soup I hung with great difficulty, and when I entered the kitchen and found you were secretly drinking, there was only half a pot left, not enough to cook."

"Two of the three dishes I promised to make for Siyu's birthday couldn't be made. Your daughter cried loudly all night until her throat was hoarse. It was all your good work."

Zhang Chu could only scratch his sparse hair embarrassedly, smiling ingratiatingly: "My fault, it's all my fault, wife. I've been scolded for so many years, so don't scold me again in front of Xiao Qin later."

Cao Guixiang was amused by Zhang Chu's reaction: "You also know it's shameful. Did you make the mobile phone stand I asked you to make for Xiao Qin?"

"Made it, of course I made it. I was afraid one wouldn't be enough, so I specifically made two. By then, Xiao Qin can put one stand in the canteen and one stand at home, and one stand in his bag and carry it with him. I specifically controlled the weight of the one he carries with him, which is lighter than the first two."

Cao Guixiang nodded with satisfaction and continued to watch Qin Huai knead the dough from far away.

After stir-frying yams for 5 days and kneading dough again, Qin Huai only felt that he had returned to his comfort zone. Everything was so handy, and that familiar Master Qin was back.

With Qin Huai's current dough-kneading level, making hand-rubbed noodles was absolutely something he could do.

Soon, three portions of noodles were rubbed.

Boil the noodles.

With Qin Huai's current advanced heat control, boiling noodles would definitely not be a problem. As long as he didn't fall asleep while boiling and burn the water dry, this pot of noodles wouldn't overturn.

But he was still a little nervous.

Because after this portion of noodles was boiled and fished out to pass through cold water, it had to pass through the clear soup again. That pass was the essence.

Before, using the high soup hung by Huang Shengli to boil chicken soup noodles, the noodles were already so delicious that Zheng Siyuan couldn't stop. Now he used the clear soup hung by Cao Guixiang.

*Slurp. *

Qin Huai wanted to secretly drink a mouthful again.

It was really too delicious.

The disadvantage of having a good tongue is that Qin Huai can feel how delicious a dish is more than others. Of course, if the dish is particularly unpalatable, he should also be able to eat more unpalatability than others.

Ordinary people, for example, Qin Luo, if you let her drink the soup hung by Huang Shengli and the soup hung by Cao Guixiang, she can definitely drink the difference. Qin Luo can very definitely tell you that Cao Guixiang's soup is delicious, but if you ask how much more delicious Cao Guixiang's soup is than Huang Shengli's soup, where it is delicious, and how it is delicious, Qin Luo can only say that she can feel a little bit but not much.

She can tell you with the amount of rice that she can drink 4 jin of Cao Guixiang's soup, but only 3.2 jin of Huang Shengli's soup.

3.2 jin is Qin Luo's limit for drinking soup, but Cao Guixiang's soup can make her exceed the limit.

Qin Huai is different. Cao Guixiang's clear soup is really too delicious for him. Every minute and every second that the clear soup stays on the tip of the tongue is the most extreme delicious enjoyment. If the conditions didn't allow it, Qin Huai wouldn't want to call her Master, he would call her Grandma directly.

Zhang Zhiyun and Chang Qingqing are really two children who make people jealous.

Qin Huai boiled the noodles nervously.

The noodles were out of the pot.

【Longevity Noodles A+ Grade】

Family members, who understands? Longevity noodles can also be considered to have rubbed against the clear soup and ascended to heaven with the chicken and dog.

What is the gold content of A+ grade snacks? Just look at how Xu Cheng praised Guo'er in "Zhiwei."

Qin Huai served three bowls of noodles on the table, fragrant and overflowing.

Full of the fragrance of clear soup.

Zhang Chu stared at the noodles until his eyes were straight. It could be seen that Zhang Chu had eaten a lot of good dishes over the years, but this was the first time he had eaten such awesome noodles.

Cao Guixiang herself didn't expect that the noodles boiled with clear soup would be like this. When she took the chopsticks, she was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "If my master knew that I used the hung clear soup to boil noodles, he would definitely scold me."

Qin Huai had already started eating noodles *slurp slurp*. Hearing Cao Guixiang say this, he hurriedly bit off the noodles and asked embarrassedly: "Did I do something reckless? Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know clear soup couldn't..."

Cao Guixiang interrupted Qin Huai's words, picked up the noodles and ate a big mouthful, and said vaguely: "What does my master know about noodles? He is just a cook, he doesn't understand white-case at all. Xiao Qin, tell me in advance next time you come back, I will prepare the soup, and we will eat like this every morning!"

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm!" Zhang Chu, whose mouth was full of noodles and couldn't say a word, could only make a positive sound and nodded frantically.

Qin Huai:!

"Don't worry, Master. I will practice kneading dough hard when I go back this time, and strive to rub out better hand-rubbed noodles next time to be worthy of your soup!"

Did you hear that? Heat control, filling, and knife work, I'm going to practice kneading dough when I go back. Do you know how to add points?

After eating a luxurious and simple breakfast, Qin Huai rested for half an hour and went to the kitchen to finish the remaining yams.

Only cutting, not stir-frying, didn't take much time.

After cutting the yams, Qin Huai quickly cleaned up the kitchen, moved the stool with Zhang Chu and sat at the kitchen door to watch strongly, and by the way, played with his mobile phone after a long absence.

It was really a long-lost mobile phone play.

Qin Huai first delayed his concern about Wang Jun's emotional status, learned that the poor Sixth Senior Brother had suffered emotional setbacks again and returned to being a single dog, lit a candle for Wang Jun silently, and let Dong Shi follow up and report, he would always pay attention.

After caring about Wang Jun, Qin Huai read all the messages in 【Loving Family】 these few days and found it quite lively. Chen Huihong initiated 6 video calls and shared four cool novels. Luo Jun asked Chen Huihong 17 times if she was sick. Qu Jing mentioned that Yunzhong Canteen hadn't sold rice cake soup for a long time. The night before last, she boiled a pot herself but accidentally burned it. After Chen Huihong learned about it, she specifically went to Qu Jing's house to hold this pot of rice cake soup and sent it to Luo Jun's house to share together.

Chen Gong asked if it was unpalatable, and there was no follow-up to this matter.

Luo Jun didn't scold Chen Huihong for being sick in the group because of this matter. He probably scolded her face to face.

After caring about the recent life of the spirits, Qin Huai began to approve the memorials in his circle of friends, liking what should be liked and commenting on what should be commented on. After a busy time, he felt that he didn't play with his mobile phone at all. When he looked at the time, it was already almost 11:00.

Just when Qin Huai was about to click on the video software to watch a variety show to relax, Zhang Chu's phone rang.

"Hello, Old Shi, you're here, right? You brought something? Oh, you're here, why bring something?"

"Got another batch of Lu Song yellow croaker? My Guixiang is a bit tired from cooking recently and may not have the energy to make shark fin dishes. The quality is good, oh, I'm afraid there won't be such good quality at the end of the year, so you sent it to me first. Okay, okay, I'll go down to pick you up."

"Also brought two bottles of good wine? Oh, why be so polite? Don't drink when eating today, just eat something casually."

"Also bought some fruit? Bring fruit next time. Don't say it, I'll go down to pick you up." Zhang Chu hung up the phone and prepared to go down. Qin Huai hurriedly followed, indicating that he could help carry things by the way.

When going out, Zhang Chu also told Qin Huai that there was no need to go downstairs together, just those things, two people could carry them. Then Zhang Chu and Qin Huai saw five large boxes of fruit, two boxes of wine, and four gift boxes of Lu Song yellow croaker downstairs.

Qin Huai:... Redefine some fruit and two bottles of wine.

Boss Shi was very young, at least younger than Qin Huai imagined. Qin Huai actually didn't know how old Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang were, but they were definitely the age that could be called Grandpa and Grandma. After all, Zhang Zhiyun was already in junior high school.

Before, the two called Boss Shi "Old Shi" one by one, and Qin Huai thought Boss Shi was older than them. As a result, when they met, Qin Huai found that Boss Shi looked at least 15 years younger than Zhang Chu.

Boss Shi looked only in his forties and dressed very casually. Shirt + shorts + flip-flops, he was chubby and looked particularly good-tempered. As soon as he spoke, he smiled and his eyes narrowed into a line, and one could tell at a glance that life was very rich.

Zhang Chu should have talked about Qin Huai with Boss Shi on the phone. Boss Shi knew who Qin Huai was, and greeted Qin Huai enthusiastically when he saw him.

"Xiao Qin, right? Old Zhang and Master Cao often mention you to me. My name is Shi Dadan, everyone calls me Old Shi, you can call me that too."

"Master Cao said you are running a community canteen. If you have any demand for seafood supply, tell me at any time. My logistics here can also be delivered to the city. The price is affordable, the quality is guaranteed, everyone is our own people, must give you the lowest price, if you want good goods, tell me, my path is the widest!"

Qin Huai always thought Old Shi was calling his age, but he didn't expect Old Shi to be a simple nickname.

"I call you Old Shi, it's not very good, right?" Qin Huai hesitated.

"There's nothing bad about it. When I was in my early 20s, everyone called me Old Shi. Don't look at me being chubby now, I looked tender when I was young. When I was 20, I looked like a 15 or 16-year-old boy. Plus I came out early, I came out to do business with people in the village when I was 14 or 15. When I opened a restaurant in Qiu County, I was only 18. When I went out to do business, everyone felt that I was a raw melon egg and easy to bully, and they were too lazy to talk to a child like me, so I let everyone call me Old Shi, and if I look young, I call my name older." Shi Dadan said happily.

Qin Huai nodded, called Old Shi very awkwardly, and then started moving fruit.

Move in batches, it was impossible for three people to move all these things upstairs in one trip.

When they came back and moved the first two boxes of fruit upstairs, Cao Guixiang was already cooking the last dish. Hearing the movement, she poked her head out and took a look. Seeing the two large boxes of fruit Qin Huai was holding, she was shocked.

"This is the fruit Old Shi said?" Cao Guixiang's voice was a bit broken.

"There are three more boxes." Qin Huai said silently, and went down to move again.

After all the things were moved, Qin Huai felt that he could eat a cow.

Although he only cut yams for less than an hour in the morning, he still worked hard. Reward himself with an extra bowl of rice.

The lunch dishes were: Three-Shred Shark Fin, Imperial Wanfu Meat, Abalone Pigeon Egg, Tomato Stir-fried Egg, Clear Stir-fried Water Spinach, and Old Duck Soup.

Cao Guixiang said she would just braise a plate of pork belly, and the ingredients for the Clear Soup Willow Leaf Bird's Nest that she didn't make today were kept for making Pigeon Egg Braised Bird's Nest tomorrow. As a result, the actual operation was pork belly, which became Wanfu Meat. The pigeon eggs couldn't be kept until tomorrow, and today they became a dish with abalone as a partner.

Shi Dadan rubbed his hands excitedly, first got himself a portion of Three-Shred Shark Fin rice bowl, Zhang Zhiyun's same eating method, and then clamped a large piece of Wanfu Meat on the rice, biting down hard.

One mouthful of meat, one mouthful of shark fin rice bowl, eating fragrantly, his face full of happy expression.

"Guixiang, you said how good it would be if you continued to be a chef in the restaurant. No need for me to open a restaurant, that restaurant is yours, I will be a shareholder." Shi Dadan sighed with a very nostalgic tone after eating the first mouthful, "When we were in Qiu County, how good our cooperation was. Our restaurant was on the newspaper. If it opened until now, it would be an old brand, maybe it could open a chain."

Cao Guixiang was also eating rice bowl, but it was tomato stir-fried egg rice bowl. Hearing Shi Dadan say this, she couldn't help but shake her head with a smile: "Tan family cuisine opens a chain, if this can be opened, we can be considered unprecedented and no one to come after."

"Then it's also very good for you to open a private restaurant yourself. Private restaurants are very profitable now. Have you heard of that Fen Garden in Beiping? That dish price is more exaggerated than we were at the beginning. At that time, I already felt crazy about the dish price we set, and I worried every day that guests would see the dish price and buckle the menu on my face. As a result, I went to eat at Fen Garden last time and found that we were too conservative at the beginning."

"However, that private restaurant is well decorated and opened in a courtyard. The chef's skills are also top-notch. It seems to be in the top 10 of some ranking, quite powerful, but I think it's not as good as you. If you go to participate in that ranking, the ranking will definitely be higher than him."

"I have retired for so many years, what is there to compare." Cao Guixiang clamped a piece of Wanfu Meat for Qin Huai, "Xiao Qin, if you want to eat anything, just clamp more into the bowl. Old Shi eats very fast, maybe in the blink of an eye when you look down, the dishes on the table will be gone."

Shi Dadan smiled, showing a simple but edible smile.

Qin Huai hurriedly accelerated his eating speed.

"Oh right, Old Shi, Old Zhang and I have been in the countryside and Qiu County for many years and haven't gone out much. You ran a lot outside when you were doing business at that time. Have you eaten Two-Crab Bao? It seems to be a snack in Gusu." Cao Guixiang asked.

Qin Huai just opened his mouth and wanted to say that with Shi Dadan's age, it was highly probable that he hadn't eaten Two-Crab Bao in a state-run restaurant in Gusu. Whether it was looking at his appearance or just now Shi Dadan's self-introduction, Qin Huai could guess that Shi Dadan was at least 15 years younger than Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang.

After all, when Shi Dadan opened a restaurant in Qiu County, he was only 18. At that time, Cao Guixiang's son Zhang Chiyuan was already in elementary school.

Two-Crab Bao hadn't been sold in state-run restaurants for many years. When Xu Nuo bought the recipe for Two-Crab Bao and gave it to Master Jing, Zheng Da didn't have the qualifications to make Jiu-Niang Mantou alone. Just estimating the timeline, Qin Huai suspected that when state-run restaurants sold Two-Crab Bao, Shi Dadan hadn't been born yet.

Qin Huai's words were still in his mouth and hadn't been said, but Shi Dadan naturally followed up: "Two-Crab Bao? I've eaten it. It's a snack from a long time ago. It was made by Master Jing in a state-run restaurant in Gusu, right?"

Qin Huai:?!

Shi Dadan actually really ate it and knew it was made by Master Jing.

No, aren't you a local who has been fishing for three generations? Are there also people in Gusu who have been fishing for three generations?

Qin Huai began to doubt his arithmetic ability, judgment, and memory. Where did the problem appear? No matter how he calculated, with Shi Dadan's age, it was impossible for him to have eaten Two-Crab Bao made by Master Jing!

Maybe the shock on Qin Huai's face was too obvious, and it was directly seen by Shi Dadan. Shi Dadan first looked at Qin Huai suspiciously, then suddenly froze, put down his chopsticks, took out his mobile phone, and said enthusiastically: "Come, come, come, Xiao Qin, let's add WeChat first. Should I scan you or you scan me?"

Qin Huai took out the QR code, still calculating where the problem was. The two added friends.

The first sentence Shi Dadan sent was.

aaa Seafood Wholesale Old Shi: Spirit? Have memory? Which life?

Qin Huai:????

Qin Huai looked at Shi Dadan very shocked. Shi Dadan gave him a calm look, *let's talk on WeChat, don't make a sound*.

Qin Huai: I am not a spirit, the situation is more complicated, we can talk later.

Qin Huai: You are... the second life?

aaa Seafood Wholesale Old Shi: Yes, and I woke up, hehe.

aaa Seafood Wholesale Old Shi: 【Picture】

A blushing expression pack.

Qin Huai:...

Qin Huai didn't know what to say for a while. He thought about it and silently pulled Shi Dadan into the family group.

'Qin Huai invited aaa Seafood Wholesale Old Shi to join the group chat'

Chen Huihong:? Xiao Qin, did you pull the wrong group?

Qin Huai: No, he woke up.

Chen Huihong:???

Luo Jun:??

Qu Jing:?

Chen Gong: Welcome (>▽ ===== CHAPTER 354 =====
