The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 239: Lethal Dose of Winter Melon Candy (Extra chapter for Han Fengqing's reward to the leader!)
Qin Huai had not expected that Xu Nuo's death would be so beyond his imagination.

I thought about it for a few minutes, then went to work and stopped thinking about it.

Concentrate on making fruits.

When Huang Shengli opened the shop in the evening, he announced to everyone in the kitchen that the 16th would be a holiday. Everyone was naturally excited to have a holiday.

Since the publication of "Taste", Huang Ji's business has exploded, so the original four-day break per month was temporarily cancelled and transferred to the rest of the month. Of course, you can also take leave if you really have something to do. Compared with the service pressure in the lobby, the pressure of making dishes in the kitchen is actually not that great.

Now that everyone has one day off, it is equivalent to having one more day off. No one doesn’t like to have a day off.

Even Dong Shi temporarily gave up observing Wang Jun's love life and started chattering with others about whether to stay at home and watch TV or go out and play on the 16th holiday.

Qin Huai deliberately sped up the process of making the dumplings when he was at work in the evening, finishing the usual amount 20 minutes earlier, leaving get off work early and going home to make four-happiness dumplings.

At Qin Huai's house, only Ouyang was counting the 40 kilograms of winter melon candies bought during the day. The rest of the people who came to taste the candies had not arrived yet.

It was too early, and the uncles and aunts knew their place and knew not to come too early or they would disturb Chef Qin from making the dumplings.

Seeing Qin Huai coming back, Ouyang hurriedly said, "Qin Huai, come and see if the winter melon candy I bought is okay? I always feel that the boss is cheating me, either on the price or on the quality. When I was paying, he was laughing the whole time, and I didn't know what he was laughing at."

Raw materials are the key to making glutinous rice balls. After hearing what Ouyang said, Qin Huai hurried forward to check and found that there was no problem with the quality of the winter melon candy.

Very normal winter melon candy, a qualified product.

"How much did you pay for it?" Qin Huai asked.

Ouyang quoted the total price, and Qin Huai thought it was not a big problem. It was normal that Ouyang's price for winter melon candy was higher than Huang Ji's purchase price. After all, Huang Ji was a restaurant, so the purchase price must be cheaper.

No matter how incompetent Huang Anyao, the young master, is, he cannot negotiate the purchase price of the restaurant to be the same as that of a private one-time purchase.

"What did you say to the boss when you bought the candy?" Qin Huai asked.

"The boss asked me why I bought so many winter melon candies, and I said I liked them and would eat them at home," said Ouyang.

Qin Huai:......

The essence of winter melon candy is actually winter melon candied fruit, which is sweet and greasy. Many people think that it tastes like fatty meat when eaten alone. Who would buy 40 kilograms of winter melon candy to eat at home?

Qin Huai guessed that the boss probably felt that Ouyang's taste was a little different from that of ordinary people, and he didn't know what expression to make, so he could only smile.

Well, in a sense, the boss actually guessed right.

"It's okay, winter melon candy is fine. I'll go make the candy first, Ouyang, help me take the nuts and dried fruits to the kitchen and sort them out." Qin Huai comforted him and started to work.

Although Qin Huai figured out the secret of making glutinous rice balls with various fruit fillings last night, it is still very difficult to make in practice.

This is the truth, but it doesn’t mean that everyone can do it.

Winter melon candy is the main ingredient, and its unique flavor matches the fruit filling, covering up the flavors of other nuts and dried fruits, forcing these complex raw materials to achieve a unified taste, rather than just adding too much winter melon candy.

The specific recipe still needs to be tested.

If you really don't care about anything and just put in any other ingredients except the winter melon candy, Qin Huai believes that the glutinous rice balls with various fruit fillings that you make will be worse than the worst five-nut mooncakes on the market.

Qin Huai has prepared for a series of failures and is even looking forward to it.

The previous rollovers were all meaningless and without purpose. They just rolled over without knowing what they could gain. But this time, the rollover was purposeful. Every time the car rolled over, Qinhuai was one step closer to victory.

Qin Huai was pulling out the sugar patiently. Ouyang had already divided the nuts and dried fruits into a bowl for each, using up almost all the bowls in the house.

Fortunately, Qinhuai bought a lot of new bowls last time to make it convenient for the uncles and aunts to come to his house to try the four-happiness dumplings, otherwise there would not be enough bowls.

Ouyang's hands were shaking as he watched from the side.

With so much winter melon candy, how many four-happiness dumplings should I make today?

If he eats four four-happiness dumplings with various fruit fillings in a row, wouldn't that be the end of him?

In fact, Qin Huai did not plan to make four-happiness dumplings with other flavors today - it would take too much time, so he only made four-happiness dumplings with various fruit fillings.

Taking into account that not every old man or woman has the same tolerance as Ouyang, Qin Huai informed everyone in the tasting group in advance that only dumplings with various fruit fillings would be available tonight, and no normal flavors. Those who were interested could come to his house to try them.

As a result, all the uncles and aunts came in large numbers, and everyone's face showed a fearless attitude. As long as Master Qin can gain even a little from today's tasting, all our efforts today will be worth it.

Gong Liang also came, and was the first to arrive with Guo Mingzhu.

Gong Liang patted his chest and said that as the head of the sales department, he had experienced all kinds of hardships when he was young. It was just the Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls. Chef Xiao Qin even learned how to make the Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls just for him. He must be the first to eat this tasting.

If he escapes from today's food tasting, will Gong Liang still be a human being?
How can he have the nerve to eat in Huang Ji’s kitchen in the future?

Qin Huai looked at the room, where there were as many old men and women as usual, some even squeezed into Gong Liang's house because there was no room to stand. For a moment, he felt very moved.

There are some unpalatable ones, but the uncles and aunts in Yunzhong Canteen really eat them! Ouyang was also very moved, so moved that tears almost came out. When he saw Qin Huai posting a message in the group, his heart sank. He thought he would have to fight a pot of fruit-filled four-happiness dumplings tonight, and then die heroically and become a legend.

The four-happiness dumplings with various fruit filling are out of the pot.

Looking at the dumplings in the pot, Ouyang suddenly realized a problem.

Qin Huai did not make as many dumplings as usual today. He made much less. Now that so many people have come, there are not enough to share.

Each person gets less than 4 dumplings.

Ouyang raised this question.

Qin Huai was shocked: "You want to eat 4 of these fruit-filled dumplings?"

You are very sacrificial, buddy. It's just a taste test. There is no need. You will have many days to eat glutinous rice balls filled with various fruits in the future.

Finally, considering that the elderly were too old to bear the torture, each of them was given a dumpling stuffed with various fruits.

Everyone held up their bowls, scooped up the dumplings and took a bite.

unpalatable!

It tastes terrible!
Maintaining the same unpalatable taste as before!

Winter melon candy is sweet and greasy. It has no fragrance when mixed with so many nuts and dried fruits. There is only an outrageous sweetness that rushes straight to the head, making people frown after taking a bite.

Ouyang ate in the kitchen.

Qin Huai hasn’t eaten yet.

"How is it?" Qin Huai asked.

"So sweet." Ouyang frowned and said, "So sweet that it's sickening. So sickening that it makes me feel nauseous."

Qin Huai accurately extracted the key information from Ouyang's meaningless adjectives: "Does it only taste sweet? No other feelings? Not like before, the taste of raisins was too obvious and not tasty, the taste of several kinds of candied fruits mixed together to give a weird taste, or does it taste like Grandma Ding's 4-year-old granddaughter threw all the ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen into the pot and cooked a dark mess?"

Qin Huai's description was so accurate that Ouyang recalled many unpleasant memories from the past.

"No." Ouyang shook his head firmly, "It's just sweet, the sweetness of winter melon candy, a taste of winter melon candy. But winter melon candy tastes bad, the sweet tastes bad."

Qin Huai had an idea in his mind. He thought that the secret of the glutinous rice balls with various fruit fillings must be this. As long as there is enough winter melon candy, it can indeed cover the taste of other nuts and candied fruits.

This is the principle, but how to make the fruit filling delicious depends on the operation.

The same is true for ordinary glutinous rice balls stuffed with various fruits. Winter melon candy is the main ingredient, and the amount of winter melon candy must be controlled to highlight the flavors of two kinds of candied fruit or dried fruit at most.

Ordinary glutinous rice balls with various fruit fillings can be delicious as long as the right ingredients are used.

The same should apply to this enhanced plus version of minced fruit filling, but it's just a little more difficult.

Qin Huai went out and asked again.

The reviews were all similar, saying it was too sweet, so sweet that it was unbearable.

A few elderly people who have a deteriorating sense of taste due to age and are particularly fond of sweets couldn't stand it, so their evaluation was slightly better than others, but they still felt that the amount of winter melon candy was too lethal. The whole fruit filling only tasted like winter melon candy, and the other condiments were all in vain.

After asking, Qin Huai returned to the kitchen and picked up his bowl of glutinous rice balls stuffed with various fruits.

There are two full dumplings in this bowl.

The two dumplings represent Qin Huai's attitude and determination.

Qin Huai scooped up the glutinous rice ball and took a bite.

Oh my god, it's so disgusting, so sweet that it's sickening, so sweet that I want to die, and so sweet that I want to kick the chef who made this dumpling in the butt with the tip of my leather shoe.

Fortunately, he planned to make it secretly without telling Zheng Siyuan first, otherwise Zheng Siyuan would think he was crazy.

Outside, Gong Liang knocked on the kitchen door.

Qin Huai tried hard to adjust his facial features so that they didn't look so ferocious, opened the kitchen door, and asked, "Mr. Gong, what's wrong?"

Gong Liang first showed his empty bowl, then asked, "Anything else?"

"I don't think you can taste it well by eating just one, you have to eat two."

Qin Huai:?!

E Beast, you have the perseverance and determination, you will succeed in whatever you do.
