Chapter 391: Skilled Snacks
On that day, many chefs in Huang Ji noticed that Master Assistant Xiao Qin was shaking a small iron tube while making snacks, as if shaking some balls. The shaking time was not long, basically shaking for a few minutes and then going back to continue kneading noodles or adjusting fillings.
Everyone was very curious, but didn't dare to ask, because Qin Huai's strangeness was not the first day. Qin Huai had been in Huang Ji for such a long time, and the chefs in Huang Ji's kitchen, including the helpers, all knew that Qin Huai had loved to fantasize since he was a child, often imagining that he had a system that would issue tasks to him, so he needed to check and complete some inexplicable tasks from time to time.
The symptoms were very strange, but it seemed that he needed to be hospitalized for treatment. However, considering that Qin Huai's cooking skills were indeed outstanding and he made rapid progress, this strange symptom could be attributed to the common problem of geniuses.
After all, geniuses are on the left, madmen are on the right, and I am in the middle looking stupidly. Just look, don't think so much.
Until the lunch break, everyone finally knew what balls Qin Huai was shaking.
Lotus root starch balls.
Qin Huai shook quite a few lotus root starch balls in a morning. After all, the production of lotus root starch balls is really simple. From the reactions of the crowd, Qin Huai could also see that this scalding method is indeed rare, because many people didn't know what Qin Huai was shaking until they picked up the lotus root starch balls.
Dong Shi didn't know.
But he loved to eat.
In the recipe setting, a bowl of lotus root starch balls is only 6 balls, but because Qin Huai is now in the stage of just starting to do it, every time he adds lotus root starch, he is very cautious.
Who told him that he hasn't mastered the skills of shaking yet? Adding a little less lotus root starch will make it easier to shake. Qin Huai is now in the stage of not daring to add more lotus root starch and not daring to shake a few more times. The more he does, the more he makes mistakes. He would rather shake the lotus root starch balls a little smaller than overturn a bigger car.
Because the lotus root starch balls are relatively small, a bowl cannot be limited to 6 balls. Qin Huai boiled them all in one pot and then adjusted the soup with white sugar and honey. Everyone can scoop as much as they want to eat, buffet-style lotus root starch balls.
Dong Shi was afraid that this lotus root starch ball of Qin Huai would be the same as the first four-joy Joy Tangyuan, and making so much was to catch family members as white mice. He was very cautious and only scooped three or four balls. After finding that the taste was good, he scooped a full bowl.
Dong Shi held the bowl and leaned to Qin Huai, chewing and chewing while asking vaguely: "Qin Huai, why did you suddenly think of making these lotus root starch balls? I thought you wanted to learn four-joy rolls. Last time you asked me to help inquire why Master Zheng didn't make four-joy rolls."
"Don't you think lotus root starch balls are delicious?" Qin Huai also held a bowl of lotus root starch balls, raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Zheng Siyuan who was chewing and chewing with a bowl of lotus root starch balls not far away, "It is easy and relaxed to make, and can also practice clever force. I think it is very good."
Dong Shi was convinced and continued to chew and chew: "It is quite delicious, it's just that the balls are a bit small."
After speaking, Dong Shi suddenly lowered his voice: "I heard a melon last night."
Seeing Dong Shi like this, Qin Huai knew that Dong Shi probably heard a very wonderful melon, because Dong Shi would say ordinary small melons directly, without this kind of pre-swing.
"What?" Qin Huai asked very cooperatively.
"Fenyuan is going to close for a month."
"Ah?" Qin Huai was really a little shocked. Gong Liang just came back from eating in Fenyuan. Qin Huai was still thinking about when he would have the opportunity to play in Beiping and visit Fenyuan to eat a meal by the way, and see the level of the top 10 chefs in the legendary famous chef record.
"Why?" Qin Huai pursued.
"It seems to be because Master Xia's apprentice came back from Japan after learning art, and Master Xia wants to close the door with his apprentice to study new dishes for a month. Once this news came out, the guests of Fenyuan were all shocked, and all scrambled to book seats a month later. I heard that the price of a table of dishes was speculated to more than 100,000, not counting drinks."
Qin Huai had a brand new understanding of Fenyuan's dish price.
"I remember you said last time that Master Xia's apprentice is a Sino-French mixed-race, how did he go to Japan to learn art again?" Qin Huai asked.
"Who knows this, maybe he can speak Japanese." Dong Shi also made a humorous joke, and then said slightly melancholy, "Alas, when can I have money to eat a meal in Fenyuan?"
"Why, dislike the dishes made by the master at ordinary times, and still thinking about eating a meal in Fenyuan?" Huang Huang Shengli's teasing voice came from behind Dong Shi, scaring Dong Shi into a shock, almost dropping the bowl.
"Master." Dong Shi could only smile, "I am not... what I mean is... I am..."
"Okay, eat your lotus root starch balls well. Still thinking about eating in Fenyuan, with your current cooking skills, go to Fenyuan, Master Xia will not scold you bloody." Huang Huang Shengli laughed.
"Then Master, has Master Xia scolded you?" Dong Shi asked curiously.
Huang Huang Shengli:...
"Your master, I haven't been to Beiping, Master Xia hasn't been to Suzhou. We haven't even met, how can he scold me. Master Xia is a master of Lu cuisine, and your master, I, am making Huaiyang cuisine. We don't even have WeChat."
Dong Shi was shocked: "Master Xia can still play WeChat at such a big age?"
Huang Huang Shengli laughed and scolded: "Master Xia can still eat at such a big age, Little Nine, eat your lotus root starch balls, and after eating, marinate the tenderloin over there."
Dong Shi hurriedly accelerated the speed of eating lotus root starch balls.
Huang Huang Shengli looked at Qin Huai with a smile. Qin Huai hadn't talked much with Huang Huang Shengli since he came to Huang Ji this time, basically just greeting a few words simply.
Huang Huang Shengli's waist had completely recovered. The work intensity was very high. In the kitchen, not only did he have to be responsible for the work of the head chef, but he also had to guide apprentices and stabilize Huang Ji's operation. It could be said that Huang Huang Shengli was a brick of Huang Ji, moving wherever there was a need.
"Don't worry about your Master Zheng." Huang Huang Shengli said with a smile, "He was stimulated yesterday. He thought that you and Master Master Xiao Zheng would definitely not be able to make the double crab buns and would have to ask him when the time comes. As a result, you made it yourself, and it was done quite well. He couldn't accept it in his heart for a while yesterday."
"I know his temper. Diligent for one day, regret for one day, lazy for one day, procrastinate for one day. Three days later, you can see him here."
Qin Huai:...
Zheng Da was really eaten to death by Huang Huang Shengli, and all his temper was touched clearly.
Qin Huai realized that he would consolidate the double crab buns for a few days first, and then learn four-joy rolls three days later.
As if seeing what Qin Huai was thinking, Huang Huang Shengli said directly: "However, your Master Zheng is really not good at four-joy rolls. He has psychological shadows on that snack. In the first few years of making four-joy rolls, he was scolded miserably by the neighbors."
"Your Master Zheng... to use your young people's words, is a bit glass-hearted. He can't stand being scolded in the field he is best at, otherwise he wouldn't have quit being a chef and gone into business because he didn't become a master chef in a state-run restaurant."
"With the precedent of double crab buns, I estimate that he will disappear for two or three more days and practice four-joy rolls at home for a few days."
Qin Huai:...
It is really a Master Zheng who is strong all his life, but the points of being strong are all strange.
Huang Huang Shengli chatted with Qin Huai for a few more words, asked about Qin Huai's situation at home and in the Yunzhong canteen for the past few months, and then suddenly asked:
"Assistant Xiao Qin, have you found your own direction of expertise now?"
Qin Huai was a little confused by this question.
Direction of expertise?
Qin Huai felt that as long as it was a snack he could make, he was quite good at it. Only relatively less good at it, such as pastry snacks. The rest, four-joy Joy Tangyuan, fruit, chicken soup noodles, double crab buns, fermented rice steamed buns, including the green bean cakes that were quite popular some time ago, were actually different types of snacks. If viewed from the skill panel, Qin Huai's highest proficiency now is adjusting fillings, but there are many types of snacks that can be extended from adjusting fillings.
Qin Huai's dough kneading technology is also good, but the definition of dough kneading in game skills is very broad. As long as it is related to dough, whether it is kneading noodles or fermenting dough, or even rubbing noodles, it is basically counted as the skill of fermenting dough, and it is difficult to see individual skills.
Currently, the highest-rated pastry Qin Huai can make is undoubtedly the Fruit Bun, but the Fruit Bun was made by piggybacking on Huang Huang Shengli's savory dishes.
Among the snacks Qin Huai made independently, the highest level and most stable is four-joy Joy Tangyuan.
Can be completely stable at Grade A.
Qin Huai had never thought that he needed to have a direction of expertise. He never had a direction when making snacks. He always made whatever everyone wanted to eat.
"Is it... four-joy Joy Tangyuan?" Qin Huai asked not very surely, "I have been doing four-joy Joy Tangyuan quite well recently, and I have done a lot, but I don't know if four-joy Joy Tangyuan can be counted as a snack I am good at."
"Good at..." Qin Huai narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought very rarely.
"I feel that I am good at many snacks."
"There are many snacks that I did very well the first time I made them, such as apple noodles, fermented rice steamed buns, green bean cakes, and now lotus root starch balls. Although my lotus root starch balls are not good enough yet, I feel that they are okay, much smoother than making other snacks."
"At least much smoother than double crab buns."
"Master Huang, are you referring to... this aspect of expertise?" Qin Huai asked not very surely.
Huang Huang Shengli nodded affirmatively: "When you were making four-joy Joy Tangyuan, I discovered that you are actually very good at making this kind of... I don't know, how to describe it, Joy Tangyuan ball-type snacks?"
"Although I am not a pastry chef, I have seen how Zheng Da learned his craft back then. This kind of Joy Tangyuan ball-type snack is not as easy to make as it looks."
"I was actually very shocked when you were making four-joy Joy Tangyuan. You only encountered problems in the filling of the hundred-fruit filling, but you didn't encounter any problems in the snack itself. Including making lotus root starch balls now, I found that you are very good at making this type of snack, and you can study and learn it in depth."
"Every chef will make faster progress and achieve higher achievements in the type they are good at."
Facing Huang Huang Shengli's sincere suggestion, Qin Huai nodded solemnly and said: "I will, Master Huang."
Then, as soon as Huang Huang Shengli left, he hurriedly asked Zheng Zheng Siyuan and Tan Tan Weian: "Do you know any Joy Tangyuan ball-type snacks?"
Regarding this, Zheng Zheng Siyuan shook his head, indicating that you suddenly asked me this, and I couldn't think of it for a while. After all, this type of snack is not what Zheng Zheng Siyuan is good at. Zheng Zheng Siyuan likes fresh meat mooncakes most, this kind of snack that needs baking.
Tan Tan Weian showed the basic quality of a chef n generation, calmly said: "You wait, I will turn it over tonight to see if there are similar recipes, and send it to you later."
Tan Tan Weian's treasure bag is so versatile.
As for Zang Liang...
He has been completely immersed in the communication belonging to the real red-case chef and cannot extricate himself, almost submitting a resume to join Huang Ji.
Qin Huai even felt that if Huang Huang Anyao was willing to offer Zang Liang a salary that moved him, Zang Liang might go back and persuade Zang Mu, and the master and apprentice would jump to Huang Ji together.
Of course, the final result is probably that Zang Liang will receive justice execution from his master.
Qin Huai just made double crab buns plainly like this, occasionally interspersed with other snacks and shaking a little lotus root starch balls from time to time.
Everyone in Huang Ji was quite happy. Lotus root starch balls are very good work tea breaks for everyone. Whether it is cutting vegetables or stir-frying, you can scoop a bowl to eat.
Sweet snacks are not too sweet. When chewing, you can eat the fragrance of lotus root starch. It has both taste and chewiness.
Qin Huai shook the last batch of lotus root starch balls at 5:40 pm and got off work on time.
When he got his mobile phone in the locker room, Qin Huai saw the message Su Gan sent him.
The people in Does Zhi Wei Ju in the Yunzhong canteen have already set off and are expected to arrive in Suzhou after 9 pm.
Qin Huai was shocked when he saw this news. Didn't he say he would leave some time to prepare? This is ready? What about the house? The houses near Huang Ji are not easy to rent. Before, the grandpas and grandmas in the Yunzhong canteen rushed over to drive up housing prices. The houses that were willing to rent and sell in the opposite community were basically divided up by the grandpas and grandmas, and the remaining old houses were too old.
If it weren't for the difficulty of temporarily renting a suitable house, Zheng Zheng Siyuan wouldn't have borrowed houses from the grandpas and grandmas to live in.
Qin Huai calculated the time and felt that Su Gan and the others should not have gotten off the plane at this point, so he didn't call, just sent a message, and turned to go to the next-door Chinese medicine bone-setting shop to set bones and relax.
After a set of processes was completed and a whole fruit plate was eaten, Qin Huai received Su Gan's reply.
Su Gan indicated that the houses near Huang Ji were indeed difficult to rent. Boss Su found several intermediaries on the Internet, including the intermediary for renting the last time, and none of them had enough suitable housing sources.
Finally, Su Gan took the initiative to find Xu Tuqiang and asked Xu Tuqiang to come forward to contact the grandpas and grandmas who bought houses in Suzhou before, asking if they could temporarily rent the house to them for a month.
The grandpas and grandmas agreed very readily. In order to thank the grandpas and grandmas, Su Gan booked the latest flight to Modu, and basically made the snacks that the grandpas and grandmas wanted to eat for most of the morning and half of the afternoon.
After reading the news Su Gan returned, Qin Huai suddenly felt that it was quite good to catch the people in Does Zhi Wei Ju to Huang Ji. If Su Gan really stayed in the Yunzhong canteen for a month, I am afraid that the grandpas and grandmas would have forgotten Master Assistant Xiao Qin long ago.
What Master Assistant Xiao Qin, Master Master Master Xiao Zheng, the grandpas and grandmas only have Master Little Su in their hearts.
At the end of the message Su Gan returned, he asked Qin Huai carefully:
Master Qin, are you planning to study new snacks for staying in Huang Ji for such a long time?
Qin Huai replied very happily: Yes, I am studying lotus root starch balls now.
Su Gan, who saw the news on the high-speed rail:?
Su Gan looked at the message with some doubts, and then called Boss Su.
"Hey, Second Uncle, do we have any masters in Does Zhi Wei Ju who are very good at making lotus root starch balls?"
"Lotus root starch balls?" Boss Su was confused.
"Why would Master Qin study lotus root starch balls? Does this snack need to be studied?" Boss Su muttered, very puzzled.
Finally, Boss Su could only say one sentence:
"Probe and report again."
"Okay, Second Uncle."
