Chapter 380: Better to choose a day than to hit a day

Zheng Da finally made the Double Crab Bao.

And made a lot, a lot of Double Crab Bao.

Zheng Da making Double Crab Bao is different from Qin Huai. He has enough technology and a complete process, doesn't need division of labor and cooperation, and doesn't need to realize something big like Qin Huai to make it.

He just has this strength, and can just make it hard according to the recipe changed by Master Jing Lixiang.

Therefore, his Double Crab Bao is actually a bit different from Qin Huai's, and tastes better than Qin Huai's Double Crab Bao.

This kind of eating method of opening a blind box casually, no matter how you open it, it is delicious, made the customers of Huang Ji almost crazy.

At first, it was the old customers living near Huang Ji who heard that Master Xiao Qin was back, bringing a brand-new commemorative dim sum from the state-run restaurant—Master Jing Lixiang's low-end version of the Double Crab Bao.

The combination of crab roe + sea cucumber + white flour was also an absolute luxury in the era when Master Jing Lixiang worked. Many old customers of Huang Ji actually hadn't eaten Double Crab Bao.

Now Master Xiao Qin returned like lightning, and also brought the Double Crab Bao that everyone was reluctant to eat when they were young, but could really afford to eat now by gritting their teeth. The rush to buy was simply not too crazy.

For other customers, selling a baozi for 108 is definitely an astronomical price. After hearing it, they want to scream and shout: The merchant is crazy about money, how can a baozi be sold for 108? Even if it is a sea cucumber baozi, it cannot be sold so expensively. Is this baozi added with nectar?

But for the old customers of Huang Ji, selling the Double Crab Bao for only 108 is simply a conscientious return price. Do you know how much Master Jing Lixiang's Double Crab Bao sold for in the state-run restaurant back then? That was a top-level luxury baozi where just buying a recipe would cost hundreds, and an ordinary worker's annual salary might not be enough.

The old customers of Huang Ji, who felt that eating it was earning it, joined the crazy rush to buy. After spending a lot of money to queue up to buy, they found it was even more worth it.

Hehe, guess what we ate? Zheng Da's limited edition!

At first, there would be some old customers of Huang Ji who thought the Huaihua Mantou made by Qin Huai was made by Zheng Da, because at that time they didn't know who Qin Huai was at all. Based on their cognition at that time, the only pastry chef who could make Huaihua Mantou and reach this level, and do it at Huang Ji, was Zheng Da.

And Zheng Da's performance was not stable. The dim sum he made when he was in a good mood was very good. When he was in a bad mood and wanted to perfunctory, he could also make the dim sum very perfunctory. This led to many old customers thinking that the Huaihua Mantou was made by Zheng Da when Qin Huai first came to Huang Ji.

Now it's different. Now Qin Huai has made a name for himself in the pastry chef circle, and his reputation has risen in the Suzhou area. It is impossible for Huang Ji's old customers not to distinguish between Qin Huai and Zheng Da.

Family members, what a good day it is today? The Double Crab Bao is on sale, and you can buy different models made by Master Xiao Qin and Zheng Da at the same price. Eating baozi and opening a blind box, opening an SSR as a guarantee, why not buy it quickly?

With Zheng Da's temper and personality, who knows how many days his limited edition can be sold?

Maybe today is out of print.

Not to mention that Qin Huai hasn't come to Huang Ji for a few months. Most of Huang Ji's old customers have returned to their normal eating frequency, their originally reduced wallets have gradually become full, and they have sufficient funds to support the rush to buy.

For a time, there was a long queue at the entrance of Huang Ji again, and Zheng Da was almost smoking from making Double Crab Bao in the back kitchen.

Even Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh after seeing it. Master Zheng is indeed full of potential. Don't look at him being lazy for so many years; his efficiency is not low when he really works. It feels higher than the efficiency when helping at Huang Ji during the New Year before. Sure enough, he was still lazy during the New Year.

Zheng Da, who had almost made himself into a Double Crab Bao, completely forgot why he came to Huang Ji today, and didn't remember a single word of "Four-Joy Roll."

No, the word "roll" might have been remembered, because Zheng Da rarely rolled up.

Gong Liang should have left after eating the Double Crab Bao. After all, Gong Liang is not a real idle person. As a big boss who is gradually handing over the family business to his son, Gong Liang still has to go to work on weekdays.

Really have to go to work. After all, he doesn't have a Wen Yao fish assistant.

But Gong Liang couldn't bear to leave at all today. After eating the Double Crab Bao, he moved a small stool and sat at the entrance of Huang Ji's back kitchen, watching strongly. In Gong Liang's words, he had known Zheng Da for so many years, and he had never seen Zheng Da work so hard to make dim sum since Zheng Da went to do business.

You can go to work at any time, but Zheng Da, who is working hard to make dim sum and looks a bit like he is possessed, is not something you can see later if you don't look now.

By the time Qin Huai and the 4 people stopped working, Zheng Da was still doing it.

The shocked Qin Huai didn't know what Zheng Da, his dear Master Zheng, was possessed by today. Is the climate in Sanya so nourishing? After Zheng Da was on vacation in Sanya for a month or two, he became a "roll king" after returning.

The bewildered Qin Huai could only gnaw on the Double Crab Bao made by Zheng Da, move a small stool, and sit beside Gong Liang, watching strongly.

Sitting in a row with Gong Liang were Huang Anyao and Tan Weian. Luo Jun finally arrived at a restaurant full of red case chefs, and they were basically Huaiyang cuisine chefs. His hands were itchy, and he ran to discuss the problem of thickening with Huang Jia as soon as Qin Huai's work was finished.

Huang Jia is also an enthusiastic person, with a good temper. As the eldest disciple, he has always been very good at pointing out junior brothers and sisters over the years. Luo Jun came with Qin Huai's people, so he is also his own person. Therefore, Huang Jia didn't hide his secrets and demonstrated directly for Luo Jun.

As for Zheng Siyuan, he didn't want to rest after making the Double Crab Bao, and made other dim sum seamlessly, quite having a feeling that his own father was working hard, so he, the son, couldn't slack off either.

"What's the situation with Uncle Zheng today?" Huang Anyao was stunned, staring at the timer on his phone and exclaiming, "He only rested for an hour at noon, and has been making Double Crab Bao for a full 6 hours, 39 minutes, and 41 seconds since the morning."

Yes, Huang Anyao had been timing Zheng Da since he started making Double Crab Bao. It could be seen that the young proprietor was indeed very idle.

"Maybe because..." Qin Huai gnawed on a Double Crab Bao and guessed somewhat uncertainly, "Master Zheng feels that the Double Crab Bao we researched ourselves is just a half-baked product, far inferior to his genuine version, and wants to use this way to subtly remind us to practice more?"

Qin Huai really felt that Zheng Da's level of making Double Crab Bao was much higher than theirs, which was a pure crushing of strength.

The difficulty of the Double Crab Bao is here. This dim sum is not an ordinary dim sum like Huaihua Mantou or big meat baozi, which look very ordinary, can be made by ordinary dim sum chefs, but are particularly delicious and amazing when made by dim sum chefs with superb skills.

It is a high-difficulty dim sum with a very high production threshold itself, and problems will appear if the strength is slightly worse. Therefore, in the Double Crab Bao, the quality of the dim sum chef's strength can be reflected more directly. You will know it after one taste.

Qin Huai knew that Master Zheng's strength was really strong after one taste.

He also finally understood why Zheng Siyuan was autistic for a long time after showing him the Double Crab Bao for the first time and didn't dare to try it.

It is indeed a bit different.

Qin Huai ate Zheng Da's baozi until he didn't want to eat his own. He even wanted to swap Zheng Da's Double Crab Bao for his own tonight.

The matter of Gong Liang preparing 500 high-quality crabs for Zheng Da to make Double Crab Bao 4 years ago cannot be blamed entirely on Gong Liang. Master Zheng has such skills in making Double Crab Bao, and Gong Liang has the conditions and opportunities. Who can bear this?

Huang Anyao was skeptical about Qin Huai's guess: "Does Uncle Zheng have such a teaching level of twists and turns?"

"Is it because Siyuan Ge said something to Uncle Zheng that stimulated Uncle Zheng, just like when you made Four-Joy Tangtuan before? Siyuan Ge kept saying that Uncle Zheng's philosophy was wrong, that it was lazy and opportunistic, which made Uncle Zheng angry and made a lot of Four-Joy Tangtuan." Huang Anyao guessed boldly.

Gong Liang nodded repeatedly: "It's possible. Zheng Da has had this problem since he was a child; he can't be stimulated. Especially when he is hit or in a bad mood, basically as long as you stimulate him, it works. The more you don't let him do something, the more he wants to do it."

"When he was a child, his mother had to use this method to make him clean the whole house during the year-end cleaning. 10 years ago, Old Huang felt that Zheng Da could still be saved in culinary skills, so he often used this method to stimulate him, or made a set with me to stimulate him, but it hasn't worked much in recent years."

"In recent years, he basically treated what Old Huang and I said as farting. Only Siyuan's words can make him angry. But Siyuan doesn't follow the routine either. I feel that sometimes Siyuan is more stubborn than his father. Most of the time, it's not that Siyuan deliberately stimulates him; it's just that this father and son are arguing."

Qin Huai:...

The tradition of the Zheng family is really hard to figure out.

"Then Mr. Gong, how many days do you think Master Zheng can maintain this state?" Qin Huai asked.

"Today is the limit. It's been almost 7 hours. I guess Zheng Da will wake up in at most an hour."

"Whether he will come to Huang Ji tomorrow is two things."

"Oh, by the way, Anyao, the raw dough over there hasn't been steamed, right? Go over and help your Uncle Gong pack two bags. Zheng Da hasn't made Double Crab Bao for 4 years. Who knows which year he will make it next time." Gong Liang quietly pointed to the place where the raw dough was placed.

Huang Anyao hesitated: "This is not very good, right? Should I go and ask Uncle Zheng or ask my father?"

Gong Liang looked at Huang Anyao with a look of "hating iron for not becoming steel," his face full of "how can you, such a young proprietor, manage Huang Ji well": "Three bags, two for me, one for you. This is extra. Let's pack it quietly first. The rest today is what should be distributed."

Huang Anyao realized and hurriedly went to pack the raw dough on tiptoe. Little did he know that his behavior was a bit too obvious. In fact, everyone could see it, but no one would care, after all, he was the young proprietor.

Even Huang Shengli, who was preparing a big meal, saw it, shook his head helplessly at this unlucky son, and continued to cook.

Gold medal sales Gong Liang looked at Huang Anyao's actions and behavior and held his forehead, sighing: "Anyao, this kid looked fine when he was a child. How did he become like this when he grew up?"

"I didn't think he was stupid when he was studying."

Qin Huai could only say that this might be talent. When he didn't know Huang Anyao, he heard about the various behaviors of the young proprietor when managing Huang Ji and felt that Huang Anyao was a prodigal son, and he was still wondering why Huang Shengli didn't manage it.

After knowing Huang Anyao and understanding this person, Qin Huai could only say that sometimes others had no way.

The ability of the young proprietor is just here. Many times, his not working hard is the greatest help to Huang Ji.

However, Huang Anyao is not without merits. At least he chose the largest packing box when packing, and it was packed very full.

Qin Huai glanced at the time and found that it was almost time for dinner. He looked at Huang Shengli's side again and felt that most of the dishes should be in the finishing stage. It is normal for many dishes to be stewing on the stove because there is a time sequence for serving dishes.

Qin Huai sent a message to Shi Dadan to ask how Wang Laogen's account settlement was going. If everything went well, they could prepare to come over for a big meal.

Shi Dadan didn't reply to the message. Qin Huai guessed that the two of them had likely set off on the road.

Gong Liang also stretched his neck and looked at Huang Shengli's side, and then asked Qin Huai in a casual chatting tone: "Master Xiao Qin, I heard from Old Huang that you are treating friends to dinner today. Which friend?"

At this moment, Qin Huai finally understood why Gong Liang had been sitting at Huang Ji with a small stool until now.

It turns out he was waiting for the big meal in the evening. Watching Zheng Da work hard to make dim sum was just an excuse. Waiting to eat a meal in the evening was the purpose.

Truly worthy of you, gold medal sales.

There are already Dang Kang and Xie Zhi at this dinner table in the evening, so Qin Huai doesn't mind having one more E-beast.

Huang Shengli himself also knows very well that the accounts of Huang Ji restaurant are not very good. This kind of family business, even if it is a high-end restaurant, basically has this problem. There is no professional accountant, and the accounts are very unclear or even a mess. Therefore, Huang Shengli knows very well that account settlement is an absolute hard work.

Wang Laogen came this time to help Qin Huai clear the accounts, but in fact, he would also help Huang Ji clear the accounts by the way.

To thank Wang Laogen for taking on this hard work, Huang Shengli's dishes today were even more sumptuous than the original welcome banquet.

It was more sumptuous than the welcome banquet Qin Huai ate when he came to Huang Ji. Huang Shengli made a complete "Three-Head Banquet" plus a few of his signature dishes.

Gong Liang couldn't eat this level of banquet a few times a year. When he sat at the kitchen door in the afternoon and observed what dishes Huang Shengli was making, he observed until his saliva was about to flow down.

He had been calculating this for an afternoon.

Qin Huai showed a standard obedient smile and said: "Mr. Gong, you should have met him, Old Man Wang Laogen. I don't know if I have mentioned him to you. He was an accountant at a textile factory before. It's not the same factory as yours, but the textile factory seems to have been nearby before."

Gong Liang thought for a while and realized: "I was wondering why this name looked familiar before. Accountant Wang, a celebrity. College student, I heard of him before I became a sales section chief. It is said that he has never calculated the accounts wrong. Later, the textile factory didn't work, and our silk factory thought about digging him over, but he was unwilling to leave. After the textile factory closed, he returned to the factory in his hometown. But I didn't know where he was from. It turns out he is from the mountain city."

As he spoke, Gong Liang's smile deepened: "Although I didn't know him before, I have indeed heard of Accountant Wang's great name. If there is a chance, I really want to have a meal with him."

Qin Huai couldn't hear Gong Liang's subtext. He followed Gong Liang's words directly: "If you don't mind, let's have a simple meal together tonight. However, there is another friend of mine coming tonight. You can just get to know him."

"That's too embarrassing." Gong Liang was grinning so hard he could barely close his mouth. "I didn't even bring anything; I just showed up with my mouth ready to mooch a meal."

"I'll call the massage parlor next door to send some fruit over now. What do Accountant Wang and your friend like to eat?"

Qin Huai thought for a while: "Old Man Wang might not be able to eat fruit, and my friend..."

"He's not picky."
