Chapter 354: Zang Liang: ?

~12 min read 2,368 words

Zheng Siyuan was very accurate in judging people. Zang Liang rushed into Yunzhong Canteen at 8:37 AM. It could be seen that he was rushing for time, but he didn't catch up with any time at all.

As soon as Zang Liang entered the canteen, he was stuffed with a plate of shumai by Qin Huai. After being named by Qin Huai to eat shumai, Both Pei Xing's work enthusiasm exploded, and he made a pile of shumai.

Ouyang couldn't eat anymore at 8:00. Qin Huai tasted one and felt that it was worthy of Both Pei Xing; the speed of correcting mistakes was very slow, and there was basically no change.

Of course, this couldn't be blamed entirely on him. After all, Both Pei Xing was not good at making shumai, and all the problems he embodied in shumai were old problems he had formed over the years.

Every time he saw the old problems in Both Pei Xing, Chen An, and Li Hua, Qin Huai felt that he was very lucky. Although his knife work was rotten before, it was about equal to none, and it was too late to forget.

Otherwise, even if Cao Guixiang's technology was higher and her teaching level was more powerful, Qin Huai couldn't have brushed his knife work to intermediate level in such a short time.

Zang Liang never picked on eating breakfast. He ate whatever there was. Seeing Qin Huai hand him a plate of shumai, he chewed it all up.

"Just waiting for you." Qin Huai said.

Hearing Qin Huai say this, Zang Liang was excited.

Qin Huai sent a message to the three people that day, telling everyone that he found the feeling, which really whetted Zang Liang's appetite. Zang Liang himself couldn't be counted as an impatient person, but he was already considered a person with a relatively urgent temper among chefs.

That "can't explain it for a while, let's talk after coming back." Qin Huai came back yesterday but didn't come to the canteen, making Zang Liang want to go to Qin Huai's house yesterday to ask Qin Huai:

What feeling did you find? How to find this feeling? Is the feeling you said the same feeling as I imagined? Why is your feeling so easy to find? I have been looking for it for so long but only touched the edge of the feeling?

Among the believers of the feeling school, Zang Liang is the most urgent. He is not as gifted as Zheng Siyuan. Most of the feelings Qin Huai said can be understood by Zheng Siyuan. Zheng Siyuan also understands what Qin Huai said. For their true gifted school, things that cannot be explained clearly from talent are collectively referred to as feelings.

Not to mention that Zheng Siyuan's language expression is much better than Qin Huai's. Zheng Siyuan has now automatically substituted the feeling Qin Huai said into the skills he realized, but he can't explain what it is, so it is collectively referred to as feeling.

As for Tan Weian, it is another extreme. The brother never knew what feeling was.

Over these years, Tan Weian has already grown accustomed to life at Zhi Wei Ju. He cannot out-compete others in the rat race, nor can he out-compete them in talent. If he can't out-compete them, then so be it; there are plenty of things in a person's life that one cannot out-compete others in.

What feeling, it doesn't matter! Listen if you can understand, listen if you can't understand, anyway, just listen.

These two people don't need to understand too much what the feeling Qin Huai said is. Only Zang Liang, this person who really needs to find the feeling, is too curious about the feeling in Qin Huai's mouth.

But he is the person who understands Qin Huai the least.

He knows that Qin Huai's language expression is relatively poor, but he knows nothing about how clumsy Qin Huai is. And he hasn't seen Zheng Da, and doesn't understand the telepathy of people who are clumsy like them.

"Waiting for me? What are you waiting for me to do? Is it telling us what feeling you found? Is it about thickening? Did your Master Cao teach you any special thickening techniques? Is it the kind where the movement amplitude of your hands is particularly large that you demonstrated to me before?"

"I have been pondering thickening these days when you were away. I can learn the general appearance of your method, but it is useless. Maybe I didn't find the technique and didn't understand the meaning of such a large movement at all. I am still used to the way and movement of thickening I have used for so many years."

"Sigh, Master Cao said that you can teach me after you learn it. What if I can't learn it? I'm sorry for you and sorry for Master Cao. By the way, should I send a gift to Master Cao? Does Master Cao like anything? Do you like kitchen knives? Do you like pots? How about the cutting board?"

Qin Huai:...

Why didn't he find that Zang Liang's words were so many and dense before? After a long string of words, he couldn't even find a breath to interrupt.

Also, what is the idea of you savory-dish chefs sending gifts? Kitchen knives, pots, and cutting boards, why don't you send a spatula?

"Not thickening." Qin Huai first killed Zang Liang's possibility of continuing to speak with one sentence.

Zang Liang:?

Zang Liang opened his mouth and showed a confused expression: "Ah, not thickening... Didn't you go to learn thickening? Can you find feelings other than thickening?"

Qin Huai was thinking about how to explain it. After thinking about it, he found it difficult to explain in a few words. He is very good at lying. If it is something he made up, he will definitely open his mouth, be seamless, have reasons, have a beginning and an end, and be convincing.

But if it is something true, and there is no space and need for compilation, Qin Huai's language expression is very problematic.

Now Qin Huai is in a situation where he needs to tell the truth.

Qin Huai opened his mouth and found that he couldn't organize the language at all. He could recall the feeling when knife work and heat control were upgraded, but it was very difficult to describe it. Qin Huai wished that technology had developed to the point where he could communicate through brain waves, and he sent the feelings of the upgrade at that time to Zang Liang.

"How about this." Qin Huai held his mouth for a long time and squeezed out these three words, "I will stir-fry a plate of yams for you. After I finish stir-frying the yams, you will know."

Stir-fried yams, the best dish to show Qin Huai's current level.

Qin Huai: Thanks to stir-fried yams!

The three:? Stir-fried yams?!

The three looked at each other, and all saw confusion in each other's eyes. Zang Liang gave Tan Weian a look, asking him what the situation was, and how he couldn't understand what Qin Huai was going to say when he just came late.

Tan Weian gave Zang Liang a look of "I don't know either," and used his eyes to ask Zheng Siyuan what the situation was.

Zheng Siyuan opened his mouth directly: "Can't you ask directly if there is a problem? I can't understand what your eyes mean."

Tan Weian: Humph, no tacit understanding.

When the three were communicating with messy eyes, Qin Huai had already found the yams, the processed ones.

Out of habit, Qin Huai took 10 roots at once.

Qin Huai started cutting yams.

Intermediate knife work and beginner knife work are completely different, visible differences, even people who don't know how to cut vegetables can see the difference.

Qin Huai cut vegetables before, and everyone in Yunzhong Canteen, including the diners outside, could see that Qin Huai rarely cut vegetables and basically didn't know how to cut vegetables. Even if he practiced, he was just practicing cutting vegetables, not knowing how to cut.

But intermediate cutting is different. Although there is only a thousand proficiency from beginner to intermediate, this thousand proficiency is the difference between professional and amateur.

It is the whole process from 0 to 1.

Qin Huai cut the first knife.

Zheng Siyuan originally wanted to explain to Tan Weian why he couldn't understand the look. Seeing Qin Huai cut the first knife, Zheng Siyuan ignored Tan Weian and stood on the side watching Qin Huai cut yams quietly.

Tan Weian felt that Zheng Siyuan seemed to have something to say to him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he ignored him. Tan Weian hit a question mark on his head, followed Zheng Siyuan's eyes, saw Qin Huai cutting yams, and took back the question mark.

Zang Liang didn't speak and stared at Qin Huai. Qin Huai has cut yams very proficiently now.

Thin and thick, the knife falls fast, accurately, and steadily. It looks like he is already a qualified kitchen helper.

As for why it is not excellent, Qin Huai visually measured the knife work of the helpers responsible for cutting vegetables at Huang Ji, each of whom has advanced or near-advanced.

In the field of savory dishes, knife work is too rolled as a basic skill.

10 yams were finished quickly. During the whole process of Qin Huai cutting yams, Zang Liang had a lot to say, but he didn't dare to say a word. He was afraid that this was the feeling Qin Huai said, and he would destroy the feeling with one mouth, and he would understand it even less.

Qin Huai put down the kitchen knife.

Zang Liang couldn't wait to cover his mouth and asked Tan Weian in a low voice: "How did Qin Huai learn this knife work? How long has he practiced knife work? When I saw him last time, didn't he just start practicing knife work?"

Tan Weian thought about it: "It seems to be true. When I saw him at Huang Ji, his knife work didn't practice at all, and holding the knife was wrong."

"*Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! *"

Zang Liang sometimes has poor language.

What Zang Liang didn't know was that the plot that made him holy crap had just begun.

10 yams were cut, Qin Huai walked to the stove and started stir-frying.

Heat the pan and oil.

Add yams.

Stir-fry, continue to stir-fry, continue to stir-fry messily.

The movement is still Qin Huai's signature movement that can show that he doesn't know how to cook, but the result is completely different.

When the heat control is upgraded to advanced, Qin Huai can clearly see when the vegetables in the pot need to be stir-fried, which part needs to be stir-fried, and whether extra operations other than messy stir-frying are needed.

Sometimes his hands will move before his brain. When he realizes that a certain part needs to be stir-fried, his spatula has already waved.

Of course, this feeling is limited to stir-fried yams. It may be that yams have been stir-fried too much in a short time, and Qin Huai has stir-fried some mechanical movements.

When it comes to thickening.

The starch water has been prepared in advance, according to the formula.

Qin Huai picked up the bowl, without flashy movements, not the big circle of arm rotation that Zang Liang has been practicing hard recently, but the ordinary and normal thickening.

But the thickening is good.

It is a qualified thickening.

The grasp of the timing is very good, the movement and quantity are also very good, and the starch water is also prepared without problems. Qin Huai's heat control is upgraded, and

Tan Weian was already staring in a daze.

Compared to the fact that Qin Huai had already learned how to properly thicken sauces without making small mistakes, what shocked Tan Weian even more was how Qin Huai had managed to learn everything.

Come on, buddy, didn't you go to learn sauce thickening? How did you end up in an all-around cram school!

And with so many subjects, can you even manage to learn all of this in just a few days? How did you manage to learn it all?

Aren't you the rising star of our pastry chef world? Why do I feel like you could jump ship to the savory side next door? Are you even going to let the rest of us live?

Whether you let others live isn't important, but are you going to let me live?

Even if I've already given up and decided to lie flat, you shouldn't be this competitive.

Zheng Siyuan, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

From his contemplative expression, one could tell that he didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

He didn't speak, but his face was filled with the words: "Stir-fry another plate, quick, stir-fry another plate!"

This time, I want to see your level and movements clearly.

As for Zang Liang, his reaction was very simple and crude.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

"Is this Qin Huai? Could it be that Qin Huai has a twin brother? It's not Qin Huai, no, you... holy crap!"

"Qin Huai... Brother Qin... Master Qin!"

"Teach me, I beg you, teach me! Is this the 'feeling' you said you found? Which feeling did you find? What kind of feeling can improve so many things at once?"

"My requirements aren't high; I just want to find a little bit of that 'feeling' regarding seasoning. My master always says I can't find the 'feeling.' The 'feeling' he talks about must be this kind of 'feeling' of yours, but what exactly is it?"

Qin Huai thought for a moment.

"If you want to improve your seasoning, my advice to you is."

"Practice your knife skills and heat control diligently."

Zang Liang:...?
