Chapter 409: Someone Else's Shadow

By the time Master Zhou finished examining the progress of Su Gan during this period and came back to see how Qin Huai's new dim sum was doing, Qin Huai had basically recognized all the master chefs of Zhi Wei Ju.

Master Zhou was stunned when he saw so many old acquaintances around Qin Huai, his expression quickly switched from a gentle elder to a leader with a straight face, squeezing out a path to the innermost.

Successfully making the area around the cooking table, which was already impassable, even more crowded.

Although Master Zhou hadn't come before, he had eaten the Four-Joy Tangyuan. When Qin Huai was cooking the second batch of Four-Joy Tangyuan, he specifically served a bowl and let Tan Weian send it over, so as not to let Master Zhou not eat it, or when he ate it, the Tangyuan was no longer the best taste.

Master Zhou was very satisfied with Qin Huai's Four-Joy Tangyuan, especially the mixed-fruit filling one.

I believe friends with good memories still remember that when Qin Huai first researched the mixed-fruit filling, Tan Weian provided the mixed-fruit filling recipe that Master Zhou taught him.

This recipe was Master Zhou's recipe, which showed that Master Zhou himself was actually very good at mixed-fruit filling dim sum, but Master Zhou was good at mixed-fruit filling mooncakes instead of Tangyuan. And this version of mixed-fruit filling that Qin Huai was making now, Master Zhou didn't understand, didn't respect, but couldn't do anything to Qin Huai either.

In Master Zhou's view, with Qin Huai's level, he could make a better, more reasonable, and more simplified mixed-fruit filling, there was no need to make the raw materials so complicated, adding a bunch of useless things, making the filling difficulty higher but the taste not rising but falling.

But Master Zhou could barely express understanding, because Master Zhou remembered that Tan Weian said that Qin Huai's brain had some problems, and he liked to fantasize that he had a game system and would issue tasks to himself.

Facing a genius, especially a diligent genius, Master Zhou could tolerate and accept the countless eccentricities of geniuses, as long as this eccentricity was not giving up cooking and going to sea to do business, everything was negotiable.

Master Zhou had already prepared the words in his heart. He originally intended to pretend to be casual and come over to take a look, by the way, praise Qin Huai's excellent seasoning ability shown on Four-Joy Tangyuan, and then saw this scene of a sea of people.

Master Zhou:?

Is it a holiday today? One by one, they are not working. Little Tan was infected by him as soon as he came back, and started fishing in troubled waters when working?

Master Zhou squeezed to Qin Huai's side with a straight face, and found that Qin Huai was making noodles. Closer to Qin Huai than him was the bald Master Hua. Master Hua was looking at Qin Huai with eyes that were even more loving than Master Zhou's before, and even five times more loving.

Those who know are looking at the dim sum master who came for exchange, those who don't know think they are looking at a famous doctor who can treat his son's hair loss problem.

Master Hua didn't have Master Zhou in his eyes at all.

"Assistant Xiao Qin, have you really never learned how to make noodles from anyone else? How did you think of this hand-rubbed noodle technique? Did you explore it yourself, or does someone in your family particularly love eating noodles, or does someone in your family particularly good at making hand-rubbed noodles?" Master Hua asked.

Qin Huai saw Master Zhou coming, nodded and greeted Master Zhou with a smile, his hand movements didn't stop, pondered the wording and said: "My sister loves this kind of noodles, but she also loves eating egg noodles, my sister is not picky."

"I learned this noodle from the video tutorial searched online. Before, I also thought about whether to learn stretched noodles. There is a ramen restaurant in our county whose ramen is quite delicious, but that ramen master is busy and has no time to teach me. I learned from him a few times and didn't learn it clearly, so I didn't learn it."

"The ramen in that ramen restaurant is also quite cheap, beef ramen is only 6 yuan a bowl, although there are only two slices of beef, usually if you want to eat ramen, just go there to eat."

Master Hua's eyes were about to shine when he heard it, and the words he wanted to say in his heart wished they could be engraved on his face. His face was full of "Isn't this the future good apprentice with innate noodle holy body that I, Hua Zhongxing, have been thinking about day and night, destined for?"

Master Zhou:???

"Then little Qin, you are very suitable to develop in the direction of noodles!" Master Hua said eagerly, "You may not know much about the types of noodles. Various pasta can be subdivided into no less than those pastry and steamed dim sum. Wide noodles, thin noodles, hand-rolled noodles, and hand-rubbed noodles all have their own ways. In the early years, many pastry masters had unique skills in noodles. A bowl of golden silk noodles and silver silk noodles could make countless diners flock to them. As long as you are willing to spend time researching in this area, your achievements in pasta will not be lower than those masters."

"Hua Zhongxing." Master Zhou opened his mouth unbearably. The master chefs on the side instantly winked at each other, passing each other with their eyes: Look, they are fighting, they are fighting!

"The noodles of your few apprentices have been kneaded like that. Knowing that they are making Dragon Beard Noodles, those who don't know think they are making catfish whiskers. How broken are those noodles? After learning under your hands for so many years, 14-buckle noodles can be buckled like that, and you still have the leisure to chat with little Qin here."

Master Hua:?

Master Hua was shocked first, looking at the one surnamed Zhou, "What hatred and what resentment do I have with you, you are so sarcastic to me, I didn't turn the sky upside down... okay."

Master Hua said a bit unconvinced: "14-buckle Dragon Beard Noodles are not that easy to make in the first place. Assistant Xiao Qin, let me tell you, it's like this. Ordinary dim sum masters want to make Dragon Beard Noodles, it's impossible without ten years of work."

"But I think you don't need such a long time, you can do it in at most half the time. You really have talent in this area. Although you can't stretch noodles now, I believe that as long as you get started, you will find that your talent in this area is far beyond others. I have fully felt it from your hand-rubbed noodles!"

"You..."

Master Zhou gave Master Liu a look. Master Liu pretended that he didn't stand firm and squeezed forward, directly squeezing Master Hua to the side.

Master Hua:!!!

"You surnamed Liu, are you..."

Master Zhou took the opportunity to make a fuss: "Go to the lounge to argue if you want to argue, this is the kitchen, not the place for you to argue. What are you all doing here? Don't you bring your own apprentices? Haven't your own dim sum been done? Is it time to get off work? If little Su sees it later, he will have to nag for another ten minutes at the next meeting. Little Su said, there will be time to introduce little Qin to everyone at the meeting tomorrow morning, get familiar with each other, no need to rush for this moment."

"Go busy with your own things, little Qin, I have a few points I want to tell you about the Four-Joy Tangyuan you just made."

Master Zhou's words had reached this point, and the other master chefs who were watching the excitement also knew that they couldn't watch strongly. Moreover, what Master Zhou said was reasonable. Among these master chefs who were watching, except for a few who were about to get off work and could fish for a while, others had their own work unfinished, and their apprentices hadn't been brought over to fish purely.

Master Hua wanted to stay and continue to exchange noodle insights with Qin Huai, but Master Liu's movements were too fast, directly carrying Master Hua and indicating that he wanted to go to the lounge to have a good fight.

Master Hua didn't want to fight with Master Liu originally, but now he really wanted to fight with him a bit, he was a bit itchy with hatred.

Master Hua and Master Liu went to the lounge for a 1v1 real-life PK, and other masters also scattered like birds and beasts, and didn't forget to mutter in a low voice when scattering:

"Hua Zhongxing is bold enough, dare to snatch an apprentice from old Zhou."

"He loves talent, didn't you see Hua Zhongxing's expression just now? Those two eyeballs were almost stuck on the dough in little Qin's hands. It can also be understood, you know the situation of his few apprentices, there are some with good talent but really no particularly good talent."

"Old Hua basically specializes in stretched noodles. Few apprentices who come to Zhi Wei Ju only develop in this direction. Those with particularly good talent in this area usually don't have bad talent in other areas. Old Hua can't snatch disciples at all."

"But didn't I hear from little Tan that Qin Huai recognized a master some time ago? This Qin Huai has a master, how can old Zhou and old Hua take him as a disciple, snatching from others? Hard snatching?"

"What kind of master, your news is not well-informed enough, didn't you hear it from little Tan himself? At most, it's a registered disciple, that is, calling him master in terms of address, without even performing the apprenticeship ceremony. And the one Qin Huai recognized is a savory chef, which doesn't conflict with us. But I think old Hua is unlikely to snatch from old Zhou. I only got one Four-Joy Tangyuan and didn't taste the level, but I really ate the San ding bao, the foundation and craftsmanship are nothing to say."

"Placed in our Zhi Wei Ju, it is definitely the level of a master chef. It's just that little Qin is young, really doesn't look like a master chef, so old Hua and old Zhou think they can take him as a disciple. If little Qin is 30 or 40 years old now, old Hua and old Zhou wouldn't have this idea at all, and would directly communicate as peers." ===== CHAPTER 410 =====
