The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 141 Smooth Entry
After putting on the uniform, Qin Huai felt that he had completely integrated into the kitchen of Huang's Restaurant.

Almost everyone knows him.

Huang Shengli has a total of 9 apprentices, which Zheng Siyuan said is a very large number of apprentices in the chef industry. After all, Huang Shengli takes in serious apprentices and teaches them step by step. In the early years, apprentices even lived and ate at the master's house, which was no different from half-sons.

Moreover, it took Huang Shengli a long time to accept disciples, from the eldest disciple to the last disciple Dong Shi, a full 19 years.

Qin Huai basically knew these disciples. They had all appeared during Huang Shengli's online classes, and Qin Huai even remembered the names of several of them. For example, the sixth disciple, who was troubled by hair loss, had a handsome name that did not match his appearance - Wang Jun.

Among Huang Shengli's disciples, the one Qin Huai was most familiar with, besides Dong Shi and Dong Li, was Huang Jia.

Huang Jia is Huang Shengli's cousin. He became Huang Shengli's apprentice when he was 11 years old, and today he is only 30 years old. In terms of age, Huang Jia is not as old as the third and fourth apprentices who came to learn from him, but perhaps because he has many younger apprentices under him since he was a student, Huang Jia has the demeanor of a senior brother, and is very appropriate and organized in both doing things and speaking.

The snacks and tea that Huang Shengli usually eats and drinks during online classes are all prepared in advance by Huang Jia, which can be said to be very thoughtful.

In order to help Qin Huai adapt to the working environment faster and better, Huang Shengli sent his caring disciple to take Qin Huai to visit the kitchen.

As soon as Qin Huai visited Qiedun’s cooking station, he asked a very amateurish question.

"Brother Jia, Master Huang has nine of you apprentices. When I came to the kitchen just now, I saw there were many other chefs in the kitchen. So, there are about 9 chefs in the restaurant, right?"

Huang Jia smiled and explained, "To some extent, we are indeed chefs, but we may not be the kind of chefs who cook as you understand."

Huang Jia pointed at Dong Shi and said, "For example, Junior Brother is the chef who cuts vegetables. The kitchen also has a special water station that is responsible for slaughtering and cleaning fish and seafood. The people you saw at the door of the back kitchen just now are probably the waiters, who are responsible for arranging dishes and serving food."

"You understand that the person who is responsible for cooking is the stove head. There are only seven or eight of them in the restaurant, and they usually take turns to rest."

Dong Shi, who was passing by, protested dissatisfiedly: "Big Brother, my brother and Seventh Brother are also chefs, why are you talking about me alone? Qin Huai, I tell you, I think I can be a chef soon, definitely faster than my brother! You must believe me, I learn things much faster than my brother."

Huang Jia ignored Dong Shi's chattering and continued, "In our kitchen, the temperature near the stove is very high during normal working hours. Qin Huai, you are a plain pastry chef, so you must not be used to it. The last time we had a plain pastry chef was three years ago. The dim sum making area was changed a long time ago, and it can't be changed back for a while."

"So I took the initiative to clear a spot for you over there. It's far from the stove and the water station, so you won't smell fishy smells, and people don't pass by there very often when serving food. But there's one downside, the warehouse door is right next to it, so people might come in and out occasionally."

"As for the molds and machines for making white cakes, isn't Siyuan's pastry shop under renovation? Uncle Zheng directly brought all the things from Siyuan's shop. I feel that they should be quite complete. If there is anything missing, please let me know at any time and I will make up for it."

Qin Huai felt that there was nothing to complain about. Huang Jia even took the temperature of the kitchen into consideration and chose a place that was not too hot for him. With such thorough considerations, what else could he say?
of course--

Qin Huai rolled up his sleeves, walked to the sink and washed his hands carefully: "Brother Jia, no need to say more, this is my kitchen counter, right?"

"I'll make a few trays of fermented glutinous rice steamed buns for you to taste my cooking skills."

Qinhuai is very good at making fermented glutinous rice steamed buns.

Fermented rice steamed buns are a permanent fixture in Yunzhong Canteen and are made every morning. Qinhuai hasn’t made them yet today, and there’s a buff, so the kitchen staff at Huang’s Restaurant are blessed.

Diners who eat at night are also blessed.

According to Qin Huai's experience, although the buff of fermented glutinous rice steamed buns has nothing to do with work, diners who eat the buffed fermented glutinous rice steamed buns are still quite motivated at work.

Of course, it is also possible that the diners in the Yunzhong Canteen in the morning are basically office workers who have to go to work after eating.

Huangji Restaurant has a complete range of ingredients, including fermented glutinous rice and several different qualities of fermented glutinous rice. Qin Huai picked the kind that was closest to the one he used to make fermented glutinous rice steamed buns and started working.

Pound the glutinous rice wine slowly and steadily.

Knead the dough with confidence.

Rub it, nothing goes wrong.

Waiting for fermentation, full of confidence.

Rub again until it flows smoothly.

Second fermentation, strolling in the garden.

Until the fermented rice steamed buns were put into the steamer, Qin Huai felt that although he was playing away today, his performance was very good, and it could even be said that it was a little bit above normal.

There are so many people watching, it would be so embarrassing if the car flipped over.

Qin Huai wasn't complaining, he really felt that the employees of Huang's Restaurant were a little too idle.

After working hard for a whole afternoon, they finally got off work. Instead of finding a place to rest and take a nap, everyone gathered in the kitchen to watch him make steamed buns.

What's so interesting about making steamed buns? The uncles and aunts in Yunzhong Canteen are tired of watching. Now, unless Qin Huai does something fancy in the kitchen, the uncles and aunts outside are too lazy to look into the kitchen.

What Qin Huai didn't know was that everyone was really enjoying watching him make steamed buns.

I really haven't watched it much.

The last time Huang Ji Restaurant had a chef was three years ago.

It can be said that when Qinhuai was making fermented glutinous rice steamed buns, except for Huang Shengli who felt that he should maintain the status of a master craftsman and be more reserved and not stand by to watch Qinhuai making steamed buns, all the other people who appeared in the teaching video were watching.

Dong Shi was the most enthusiastic observer, as he was squeezed in the innermost part, closest to the crowd. Everyone not only watched, but also discussed.

"Qin Huai's dough seems to be really good. Is it my imagination? Why do I feel that he kneads the dough better than Siyuan?"

"It seems to be better. I feel that the dough kneaded by Xiao Qin is more... comfortable and obedient? Anyway, it is smoother."

“That steamed bun looks very good.”

"Indeed, I feel that Xiao Qin's level is higher than Siyuan's. Didn't Siyuan go there to teach Xiao Qin specifically this time? What did he teach Xiao Qin?"

"It seems to be the heat."

"Oh... the heat."

"I can teach you how to control the heat, I'm very good at it!"

The last sentence was said by Dong Shi.

I rushed over from home, exhausted, and as soon as I entered the kitchen I heard everyone dissing my own Zheng Siyuan:...

What do you famous chefs know about kneading dough?!

The thing that Qin Huai is better than him is obviously the seasoning!
No one cared about Zheng Siyuan who arrived last, and no one even saw him. After Qin Huai finished making the fermented rice steamed buns, he had completely integrated into the Huang's Restaurant, as if he had completed some kind of assessment and successfully joined the company. The onlookers, led by Dong Shi, all surrounded him and chattered about how Qin Huai was doing with his training recently.

Dong Shi expressed regret that Qin Huai had not been attending online classes very often recently, and he had no chance to chat about gossip with Qin Huai in the afternoon.

Wang Jun asked Qin Huai if his cooking skills had improved, and said that his skills were still good, and that he could ask him any questions or needs at any time. He had plenty of time, as he had just broken up with his girlfriend recently, so he had plenty of time.

Huang Jiaze directly asked Qin Huai what type of soup stock he was practicing recently and inquired about his learning progress.

The others also showed off their expertise, saying they would never hide anything and warmly welcomed the new colleague.

Then he asked what type of dim sum Qin Huai was good at and whether he was interested in being in charge of the employee meals. Ever since a pastry chef left the restaurant, no one had dim sum in the employee meals anymore.

Huang Shengli walked in with a smile and patted Zheng Siyuan who was standing at the back.

"Siyuan, how are you doing in Shan City? Are you used to it?"

Zheng Siyuan said: "It's pretty good, except that I have to get up early every day, but it's okay once I get used to it."

"It's good for the health of young people to get up early." Huang Shengli said with a smile, "Before, I was worried that Xiao Qin wouldn't be able to fit in after moving to a new place, but now it seems that he has integrated well."

"Your dad told me that you came back this time to ask me something. It seems that you and Xiao Qin are researching a problem with dim sum. How can I help with dim sum?"

Hearing Huang Shengli bring this up, Zheng Siyuan quickly switched to asking for advice and said respectfully, "Uncle Master, maybe only you can help me with this."

“I remember you would flip the spoon.”

Huang Shengli nodded, somewhat confused: "Yes, but I can't say I'm proficient in it."

"Do you think it's too late for me to start practicing the big flip at my age?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

Huang Shengli:?

Huang Shengli was really confused: "Siyuan, you... want to change the red case? You have to discuss this with your father. If your father agrees... No, this kind of thing should be cautious."

"It's not what you think. It's the snack Qin Huai and I have been practicing recently. You know the recipe, that Guo'er."

"Qin Huai and I discovered that the fruit filling might be fried better using the large flipping spoon technique, so I wanted to ask if it's too late for me to learn it at my age. If it's too late..." Zheng Siyuan felt ridiculous when he said the rest, and subconsciously glanced at Qin Huai.

Qin Huai was still trying to flip the spoon when he was frying the stuffing the day before yesterday.

Although Zheng Siyuan felt that he had been led astray by Qin Huai more and more since he met him, and although many of his absurd ideas seemed ridiculous, he really wanted to try them out.

Huang Shengli: …

"what?"

“Stir-fried stuffing.”

"Do you need a large flipping spoon?"

Although the recipe is outrageous, the outrageous process is not written on it.

This is too outrageous.

I am too sleepy. I will update one more in the daytime.
