Chapter 442: Exchange Meeting
"Master Zhou, these are the piglet buns and hedgehog buns I just steamed. Please help me take a look."
In Does Zhi Wei Ju, Qin Huai was frantically brushing proficiency as usual, showing the newly made snacks to Master Zhou for review.
Qin Huai still remembered that his purpose for coming to Does Zhi Wei Ju this time was actually to brush finger technique proficiency. Although there was an accident now, and it became brushing whatever proficiency, finger technique was undoubtedly the top priority. After all, the side mission of the four-joy roll was there, and the proficiency of finger technique indeed needed to be brushed.
Therefore, Qin Huai made other snacks blindly, and only for snacks involving finger techniques that required styling, he would let Master Zhou review them once after making them.
Master Zhou's smile had never moved from his face.
Now Master Zhou only had a smiling face when he saw Qin Huai. Before, he might sometimes be in a state of being sarcastic to someone, or angry at someone he didn't like, and couldn't switch his expression. Now there was no problem in this regard at all. Master Zhou switched his expression faster than his mood whenever he saw Qin Huai.
"Very good, very standard." Master Zhou looked at the piglet buns and hedgehog buns in the steamer, which were so standard that they seemed to have just come off the factory assembly line, and nodded very satisfied.
If it were before, Master Zhou would certainly not be satisfied if he saw Qin Huai making snacks like this, and would directly or implicitly point out one or two sentences that such snacks had no characteristics, no soul, and no personal style.
Not anymore.
Qin Huai's shocking "practice more if the dish is bad," "all deficiencies come from the numerical value not being full," and "the textbook itself is the best aesthetic" remarks deeply moved Master Zhou, so much so that Master Zhou now felt that this was Qin Huai's style when he saw Qin Huai's copy-paste snacks.
This is also a kind of aesthetics.
How to say it, there are naturally Confucian scholars to argue for me.
The steamer next to Qin Huai was steaming Zhao Cheng'an's snacks. Just in time, the time was up. The apprentice who remembered the time turned off the fire and uncovered the steamer lid, revealing the four-joy flower rolls inside, which were also standard and produced as if on an assembly line.
Master Zhou frowned as he looked at Zhao Cheng'an's four-joy flower rolls.
As Master Zhou's direct disciple, Zhao Cheng'an didn't have any mandatory KPIs to complete when he went to work. He had actually learned all the basic skills he could hit and all the techniques he could learn. Master Zhou wouldn't require him to practice or do anything on weekdays, and he was managed in a free-range manner.
It was useless not to be free-range. Zhao Cheng'an was naturally lazy. If he really carried out high-pressure management, he would really betray his master. To be precise, there was no need for militarization. Now that there was a roll king standing next to Zhao Cheng'an, and the workload had increased, he couldn't come to work at 9 o'clock and had to get up early at 7 o'clock, Zhao Cheng'an wanted to betray his master.
Facing the virtue of his little apprentice, Master Zhou had no choice. He was a strict teacher who taught according to his aptitude. The apprentice was just lazy. When he was young, he beat him, scolded him, said it, and persuaded him. It had been useless for so many years. Laziness was engraved in his bones. Letting him be free and persuading him when necessary was the best education method Master Zhou could think of.
After all, good apprentices are hard to find in this day and age, and apprentices with good talent and high understanding are even harder to find. Hardship can be cultivated later, but talent is truly innate. People can't have both. It is already very rare to have such an apprentice, and he should be content.
Before seeing what Qin Huai looked like when he rolled up, Master Zhou comforted himself like this.
Until Qin Huai started rolling recently, rolling to the point where Master Zhou couldn't roll.
By the way, coming to work at 5 o'clock can no longer satisfy Qin Huai. Qin Huai basically arrives at his workstation at 4:30~4:40 AM every day, and An Youyou comes to prepare materials at 3 AM every day.
The masters in Does Zhi Wei Ju don't look at Qin Huai with golden light anymore; they are a bit green, sometimes staring straight at Qin Huai, their eyes full of "Isn't this my treasure apprentice who has been lost for many years? Where have you been all these years?"
Smart and understanding, finding his own shocking path without too much guidance, and the most critical thing is that he is humble while having pride, and even diligent. And not ordinary diligence, but special diligence, the kind of diligence that can get up at 4 o'clock to make snacks!
The only shortcoming is that his brain is not very normal, always imagining that he has a game system, but it doesn't matter, it's not important, and a brain that is not normal doesn't affect making snacks and normal life.
Accompanied by the increasing variety of breakfast Qin Huai makes—rice noodle rolls, wontons, plain noodles, sesame balls, various baked cakes, and even sometimes when other breakfasts are annoying, he can spread two pancakes—the masters in Does Zhi Wei Ju increasingly realize how deep Qin Huai's snack pool is and how wide the variety he knows covers.
Let's put it this way, now every master in Does Zhi Wei Ju feels that Qin Huai can specialize in their category, shine and heat, and become the strongest.
What? You say Xiao Qin is actually not very good at this kind of snack, and his signature snack is not this kind. What do you know! He is not good at it because he didn't put time and energy into it before and didn't meet a famous teacher in this category. As long as Xiao Qin is willing, he will definitely be very good at it!
Quite a few masters whose technology is not as good as Master Zhou's and whose combat power is not as good as Master Zhou's started to mutter in their hearts: "Zhou Guanghai, what virtue and ability do you have?" Are you very powerful? Aren't you just the number one pastry person? You weren't the number one pastry person when you debuted. You also mixed for so many years to get to where you are, and you are not the first in the fault line. You are not that powerful.
Where do you have the face to occupy Xiao Qin alone? Xiao Qin didn't worship you as a teacher. Isn't it just that sometimes he omits the word Zhou in private and calls you Master? Isn't he calling you Master Zhou on weekdays?
Count on Zhou Guanghai to want some face, sensible, didn't fool Xiao Qin into worshiping you as a teacher.
What number one pastry person is actually just like this? In terms of xx type snacks, it has to be me. You, Zhou Guanghai, have taught long enough, let go, it should be my turn to teach!
Some masters thought so in their hearts, and some masters did so quietly.
Qin Huai makes so many basic breakfasts every day, and there is always one that can hit the field that the masters are good at. Of course, it is not easy to disturb Qin Huai when he is making snacks, but Qin Huai doesn't make snacks when he opens the morning meeting, so many masters specially take the small booklet they wrote and stuff it into Qin Huai's arms during the morning meeting, and then talk wildly.
Now Boss Su mainly regulates the conflicts caused by masters stuffing small booklets randomly during the morning meeting.
Some masters stuff it once every three or four days, and some masters stuff it once a day. Those who do it once every three or four days naturally look at those who do it once a day unpleasantly, feeling that they are deliberately brushing their presence, wasting Qin Huai's time. You only have this level, what can you summarize?
Then new hatred and old hatred will come together, from the small booklet to the other party's level not as good as themselves, to snack competitions, no one is convinced, and then continue to argue.
Originally, the morning meeting only lasted 20 minutes, but now it has to last 40 minutes. There are too many contradictions to mediate at all.
Of course, these are just insignificant episodes.
At least for Master Zhou, this is the case. Master Zhou, as the master who is currently bringing Qin Huai on the surface, doesn't need to stuff small booklets to Qin Huai every day like other masters. He can point out whatever he wants, and as long as Qin Huai is willing, Master Zhou can also demonstrate on the spot.
Of course, Master Zhou rarely does this.
A master bringing an apprentice and teaching hand-in-hand is usually at the beginning of the apprentice's learning of the craft. Imitation is the best teacher. Now Qin Huai doesn't need to learn anything new and techniques. He just brushes skill proficiency. Although Master Zhou doesn't quite understand what the proficiency of the game system Qin Huai imagined specifically refers to, he can roughly see that Qin Huai is now in the final stage of accumulation.
He doesn't need to learn any new things and techniques. He just needs to constantly consolidate the previous ones and hit a higher-end foundation.
This is also the reason why Master Zhou has been smiling at Qin Huai recently. He is too understanding, too knowing what he wants to do, and also too diligent, too persistent, and persevering.
Compared to his third child.
Master Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Zhou, what's wrong?" Qin Huai asked, looking at the four-joy flower rolls next door along Master Zhou's gaze.
Because Master Zhou never cared about what snacks Zhao Cheng'an made, he always did whatever he wanted. Before, he did whatever was simple, now it is... ===== CHAPTER 443 =====
