The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 219 Double Crab Bun

After dinner, Zheng Siyuan packed up and prepared to go home after get off work.

Qin Huai's working hours changed, but Zheng Siyuan's didn't. Huang Ji's dim sum, except for Guo Er, was still only sold at noon. Although Zheng Siyuan made a lot of Sanding Bao for Qin Huai in the morning, his own fresh meat mooncakes did not go off the shelves, and he even made crepe wontons and bubble wontons in the morning.

It can be said that Zheng Siyuan’s workload has been super doubled.

Now, Zheng Siyuan, who has doubled his efforts, decides to go home and study minced fruit to take revenge on society.

If Zheng Da was at home this afternoon, the one who would take revenge would be his father, because Zheng Da would be responsible for tasting the food.

Zheng Siyuan went to the locker room to change clothes.

Qin Huai also went to the locker room to get his cell phone. Ouyang had successfully delivered the snacks to the hospital, helping Qu Jing become the most handsome guy in their department again.

As an unqualified errand runner, Ouyang regretfully told Qin Huai that because he rode a bicycle first and then took the subway to save money, the soup of the four-happiness dumplings spilled out.

At the same time, the unqualified errand runners also complained about the unqualified merchants.

Qin Huai did not separate the packages when packing, and packed the four-happiness dumplings and soup in the same package. When Ouyang brought the snacks to the hospital, the dumplings were a little swollen because they were soaked for too long, and the taste was not very good.

In addition, the hospital did not have good equipment to heat up the dumplings, so Qu Jing did not think of borrowing a pot from the cafeteria. She simply poured the dumplings into a bowl and put it in the microwave, and almost turned the four-happiness dumplings into sesame rice cake soup.

The final stubbornness of the dumpling is that the filling does not come out.

However, even though the four-happiness dumplings had become something that even the chef Qin Huai could not recognize, Qu Jing still gave it a five-star rating because she loved rice cake soup.

In response, Qin Huai held his phone in silence for two minutes, not knowing what to say in reply. After thinking about it, he could only reply:
Just like it.

Qin Huai wanted to ask Qu Jing if her love for rice cake soup was because Dean Qu was not good at cooking glutinous rice balls and often cooked frozen glutinous rice balls into sesame glutinous rice paste and deceived the children in the welfare home into saying that it was sesame rice cake soup, so Qu Jing loved to drink rice cake soup.

Qin Huai hesitated for a moment and didn't ask.

He still believed in Dean Qu's craftsmanship.

The incident of boiling frozen rice dumplings into sesame glutinous rice paste and then deceiving children into thinking it was sesame rice cake soup was done by Director Qin of the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute.

At this moment, Director Qin of the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute far away in Qiu County sneezed in his office, then closed the window and continued to count money happily.

Last year, we received such a huge donation for the first time in all these years. It was the first time in all these years that we had a surplus of funds. Instead of calling the higher authorities to complain about being poor, Dean Qin said that he had never calculated how rich we were.

Dean Qin took a look at the paintings drawn by the children of the welfare home on the table and happily added the cheap watercolor pens to the shopping list.

Hehe, if you have money, you can buy new watercolor pens before the previous batch is completely used up!

Our Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute has also stood up, and the children no longer have to draw blue grass and white trees.

When Qin Huai comes back to celebrate the New Year this year, she will definitely bring the children from the welfare home to make dumplings for Brother Bao Bao.

Qin Huai didn't know that Dean Qin had this plan. If he knew, he would definitely call Dean Qin to persuade him to give up.

Brother Bao Bao doesn’t really want to eat dumplings.

If Director Qin really feels bad, he can just destroy the ugly drawings he made when he was a child. Don't carefully put them in a file bag and keep them as treasures. Every year during the Spring Festival, the children in the welfare home would take them out and show them to Director Qin. He has stolen them several times but never got them back.
.
After replying to Qu Jing and Ouyang's messages, Qin Huai stood outside the locker room waiting for Zheng Siyuan. As soon as Zheng Siyuan came out and saw Qin Huai waiting for him, he knew that Qin Huai must have something to talk to him alone.

"Do you have any new ideas for the fruit filling?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

"No, not this."

"You don't have time to make glutinous rice cakes, so let me help you make them tomorrow. OK, I'll go back later tomorrow afternoon."

"That's not it. I think it's nice to relax by making rice cakes occasionally." Qin Huai waved his hand and continued, facing Zheng Siyuan's perverted look, "Can you make double crab buns?"

"I searched online and found that it seemed like the buns were made with crab roe and sea cucumber. But I couldn't find any specific recipes, not even one."

Normally, even the most unpopular recipes can be found online with one or two completely wrong methods. But the double crab buns were strange. Qin Huai did a simple search, but not only did he not find the method, he almost didn't even find the snack.

Very unpopular.

Zheng Siyuan's expression instantly changed to: It turns out that you only fell in love with Four Happiness Tangtuan for a short time. It's only been a few days and you've changed your mind.

"Mr. Gong said he wanted to eat double crab buns?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

"That's not the case." Qin Huai thought it was not necessary to put all the blame on Gong Liang. "A friend of mine knew about this snack and wanted to try it."

"Crabs are no longer in season, so the double crab buns must be made with the most delicious crab roe and sea cucumbers, which are not available at this time of year," said Zheng Siyuan. "It's normal that you can't find information about them online. This bun has a real secret recipe."

"My master was able to have the recipe for double crab buns because a customer loved to eat double crab buns and bought the recipe at a high price and asked my master to learn it."

"Later, because this customer loved it so much, he wanted to eat it all year round. My master's grandfather developed a recipe for making double crab buns with crab roe paste. The fat crab roe can be made into crab roe paste and can be preserved for a long time. But my father only learned the recipe for crab roe paste, not the recipe for making double crab buns with crab roe paste."

"Is it difficult?" Qin Huai was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard from Zheng Siyuan whether Zheng Da had learned the recipe.

Zheng Siyuan shook his head: "It's not because of the difficulty, it seems to be due to some other reasons, maybe the recipe was bought by someone at a high price and it became exclusive and can't be made anymore. I remember my dad mentioned it when he was chatting with his uncle, saying that since I can't make it after trying it once, it's better not to learn it at all."

Qin Huai nodded, not quite understanding.

It was not uncommon for wealthy people to buy out recipes at high prices. For example, Luo Jun actually bought out Guo'er's recipe at a high price.

It’s just that Guo’er’s recipe is rather special, as the chef himself doesn’t want to reveal that the recipe was created by him, nor does he really want to make it.

"It seems that if I want to learn how to make double crab buns, I have to wait until next year." Qin Huai sighed.

Zheng Siyuan nodded: "But you should be able to learn how to make double crab buns quickly. The key to making double crab buns is the seasoning. This snack is actually a bit similar to crab roe siu mai. Both are about retaining the original flavor of the ingredients without adding too many auxiliary ingredients. While ensuring the freshness, the fishy smell is removed and there is no peculiar smell."

“It’s just that the double crab buns are more difficult to make, because the combination of crab roe and sea cucumber is much more difficult than the combination of crab roe and shrimp. It is said that the master was able to develop a new method of crab roe siu mai because he got the inspiration from the double crab buns.”

"Gusu is not on the coast, and sea cucumbers were hard to come by at that time. In a sense, crab roe siu mai is actually a substitute for double crab buns."

Qin Huai's eyes lit up instantly.

The seasoning is good, he loves to improve his seasoning proficiency the most!
His highest skill point now is seasoning.

Last time, I practiced crab roe steamed buns for a month and gained 3 seasoning proficiency. If I practice double crab buns for a month next year, this proficiency will definitely increase rapidly, and master-level seasoning is just around the corner! "Siyuan, let's start practicing double crab buns in September next year!" Qin Huai invited me to form a team.

Zheng Siyuan:?
Are you so addicted to dim sum that you have to make reservations for September's dim sum in advance?
"Okay." Zheng Siyuan nodded. "September is the season when crab roe is plump and it is also the season for harvesting sea cucumbers. It is perfect for making double crab buns."

"So, are you still practicing Four Happiness Tangtuan?"

"Practice, of course! Although I still have no idea about the fruit filling, I think it's always a good idea to practice more and make more combinations. I only have a feeling now, that we must have overlooked a very important factor that caused our fruit filling to turn out like this, just like when we made the locust flower steamed buns before."

"As long as you solve that one core problem, the rest will be solved easily."

Zheng Siyuan said that he only needed to make the Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls: "Then I'll go home and make the Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls. Do you really not need my help with the glutinous rice cakes tomorrow?"

"No, it's just rice cakes for one or two people. I can handle it."
.
Qu Jing rarely expressed a strong desire to eat glutinous rice cake, so Qin Huai had to satisfy her.

For Qin Huai, making glutinous rice cake is not complicated, but it is quite troublesome.

Rice cakes must be made by yourself. If you use rice cakes bought outside to make glutinous rice rice cakes, the quality cannot be guaranteed. When Qin Huai was in Yunzhong Canteen, he made a large pot of glutinous rice rice cakes. He would make it one day in advance and take two hours in the afternoon to make rice cakes.

This period of time is best when Ouyang can skip work. Making rice cakes requires repeatedly stirring glutinous rice and water and repeatedly steaming them. If you just stir a small bowl, it is an easy and stress-relieving job.

If you are stirring a large basin, it is undoubtedly a very physical job and you will need to find a strong helper.

After business hours closed at noon the next day, Qin Huai began to make rice cakes in a relaxing and stress-free manner.

Yesterday it was four-happiness dumplings, and today it was glutinous rice cakes. Just looking at the way Qin Huai relieves stress over the past two days, people who don’t know would think that he really likes glutinous rice products.

Since making rice cakes is an easy and stress-free way, it is certainly impossible for Master Qin to do the hard work of stirring them himself.

As Tan Weian was stirring the rice cake vigorously, he had only one thought in his mind.

Qinhuai also knows how to make rice cakes?
Not only can he make steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, siomai, sesame cakes, glutinous rice balls, and hand-kneaded noodles, but he can even make rice cakes.

Could it be that the legend is true, and Qin Huai was really an all-round breakfast shop chef?
The variety of items they sell in their breakfast shop is so rich, why do they even sell rice cakes?
"Master Qin, your friend is here and is waiting for you outside." A round-faced waiter shouted loudly while standing at the kitchen door.

Qin Huai knew that Ouyang had come to lead the special cooking, so he carried the packed fruits and walked out. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Tan Weian: "You must use force. When making rice cakes, you must stir continuously. There is no skill, you just need to use force. The principle is the same as making rice cakes."

Tan Weian smiled bitterly and nodded, indicating that he understood the reason, but the key was that the conditions did not allow it.

Do we have to use such a primitive method to make rice cakes? Machines can also be used!

"Junior brother, come and take over from me for a while." Tan Weian grabbed Gu Li who was passing by, "Stirring the rice cakes also requires some skills, come and feel it."

"Didn't Master Qin just say that there was no skill?" Gu Li asked.

"Yes!" Tan Weian said firmly, "Come and feel it, there is indeed!"

Gu Li didn't understand why, so he chose to trust his senior brother. He took over Tan Weian's work and started stirring the mixture hard.

On the other side, Qin Huai didn't know that the person in charge of mixing the rice cakes in the kitchen had been replaced. He met Ouyang Shunli at the door of the back kitchen and handed the take-away box to Ouyang.

As soon as Ouyang took the takeaway box, he couldn't wait to open it, take out a fruit and start eating it.

"This fruit was from the last batch steamed. I picked it up and forgot to put it in the insulated box. It should be cold now. Why don't you..." Qin Huai advised.

“It tastes good even when it’s cold!” Ouyang said it didn’t matter whether it was cold or not, what was important was to take two bites first. He took two big bites before stopping and looking into the bag.

"There are no dumplings today."

"It's impossible to have glutinous rice balls every day. Today we're making glutinous rice cakes. You know that if you make rice cakes today, you have to cover them with a wet cloth and wait for more than 12 hours before you can eat them tomorrow."

Ouyang took another bite of the fruit, and said happily as he chewed, "No wonder your snack is so popular. Last night, the line lasted until after 9pm and some people were reluctant to leave. It's really delicious."

“It’s simply the most delicious dessert you’ve ever made.”

The fact that A+ grade dim sum has received Ouyang’s recognition shows the appeal of this dish.

"You saw Dr. Qu yesterday. How is she doing?" Qin Huai came out specially to bring snacks to Ouyang, not to chat. He could chat with Ouyang anytime he wanted. There was plenty of time in the evening.

Except last night.

When Qin Huai got home from get off work yesterday, Ouyang was not at home. Chen Huihong heard that Ouyang had also rented a house but had not yet moved in, so she helped Ouyang replace a batch of smart furniture. Last night, Ouyang went to look at furniture excitedly and did not come back until 1 a.m.

According to people familiar with the matter, the lights of a household in the community were not very stable last night. They kept tripping and turning on and off. An old man thought it was a spy transmitting messages via Morse code and reported it.

Ouyang returned from the police station at 1 a.m.

"It's pretty good." Ouyang thought about it carefully. "Don't mention it. Doctor Qu has changed a lot after changing his environment. He has become more cheerful. He doesn't wear a mask in the office, and he has a good relationship with his colleagues."

"When I went there yesterday, the others didn't know I was there to deliver snacks. They were talking in the office about how the food in the hospital cafeteria has become less and less delicious recently. There were also a lot of snacks given to Dr. Qu by her colleagues on her desk."

"You asked me to bring the fruit to Doctor Qu. Doctor Qu kept one for himself and gave the rest to his colleagues. One male doctor was so excited that he started to help Doctor Qu write medical records."

Qin Huai:......

There's nothing to complain about, this is really exciting.

"Doctor Qu also asked me if I had been working too hard recently. She said that the rehabilitation department has several programs that are suitable for me. Master Huang injured his waist when he was young because of the excessive intensity of work. Going to the bone-setting shop only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If you have time, it is better to go to the rehabilitation department and do some relevant examinations."

"If you hadn't mentioned it just now, I would have almost forgotten. I should have told you this last night, but I don't know who reported me and took me to the police station in the middle of the night."

Qin Huai:......

Qin Huai sincerely suggested: "Don't play with smart home when you have nothing to do in the future."

"Don't stare at the light if you want to play."

“It has many functions, more than just turning the lights on and off.”
