The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 252 Those who have tasted it will definitely say it is good
Before going to bed, Qin Huai watched the video tutorial of Four Happiness Tangyuan five times.

There is not much difference in the glutinous rice skin between the A-grade Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls and the Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls currently made by Qinhuai.

The requirements for glutinous rice wrappers are high, but only to a certain extent. For glutinous rice balls, the glutinous rice wrappers are more of a wrapping of the fillings and the taste. As long as they are soft and not sticky, they are considered successful.

The A-grade four-happiness dumplings from Jinglixiang are amazing in the making of their fillings.

In terms of quality, the stuffings of Jinglixiang are far inferior to those of Qinhuai. Because of the limitations of the times, whether it is meat stuffing, sesame candy stuffing, red bean paste stuffing or fruit stuffing, it was an absolute luxury and a rarity in Jinglixiang's era.

Rare items are hard to find and their quality cannot be guaranteed.

This four-happiness glutinous rice dumpling is almost completely opposite to the crab roe steamed bun. In the video tutorial of crab roe steamed bun, the crabs used by Jinglixiang are all big and plump, and the quality of the crab roe is so high that Qin Huai was amazed.

As for the fillings of the Four Joys Tangtuan, the raw materials available in Jinglixiang are very ordinary. The quality of sesame is not bad, but the quality of white sugar and brown sugar is a bit worrying, not to mention winter melon candy and other candied fruits, which are all collected from all over the place. We can only guarantee that they are not so bad that they cannot be used as fillings, but we can't guarantee anything else.

Using the worst ingredients to create the best taste can better reflect a chef’s level.

Whether it's the mixed fruit filling, the seemingly simple meat filling, or the sesame candy filling and red bean paste filling that Qinhuai is good at, they are all brought to new heights in the video tutorials.

Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh, "You can do this?"
You can cook red bean paste like this!

It turns out that there are some tricks when stirring sesame candy filling quickly. It's not just about stirring it quickly. It's best to finish stirring it before the syrup cools down. Stirring too hard can easily cause problems.

As for the fruit filling, there is no need to mention it.

Zheng Da and Zheng Siyuan don’t have to argue anymore, because their master’s exclusive secret recipe for minced fruit filling is here!
There is no dispute over melon seeds and peanuts, melon seeds and almonds, or walnuts and almonds when it comes to fruit fillings. The four-happiness dumplings at Gong Liang’s birthday party seemed to have four flavors, but in fact there were many flavors, because Jinglixiang made six kinds of fruit fillings with different emphases.

He was confused, but not completely confused.

Fruit fillings are inherently varied, and even a skilled chef like Master Jing might be afraid that the taste would not be satisfactory if so many ingredients were mixed together, so he chose the real exhaustive method and directly made 6 kinds.

At the birthday party, Gong Liang might have tasted a little difference, but he was not an expert and didn't know. Zheng Da could taste the difference, but he only ate two fruit-filled dumplings and didn't get any.

Coupled with the passage of time and the beautification of memory, if Qin Huai hadn't figured out the recipe, who would have thought that Chef Tianjing actually made 6 kinds of subtly different fruit fillings?
After watching the video tutorial several times, Qin Huai felt that he was incredibly strong.

This time it's really terrifyingly strong.

He really learned some real skills, tips and saw the real recipe from the video tutorial of Four-Happiness Dumplings.

Tomorrow, he will definitely give everyone at Huangji a big surprise!

In order to give everyone at Huangji a big surprise, Qin Huai got up early the next day. The price of getting up early was that he had some dark circles under his eyes.

I didn’t sleep well last night. My mind was full of four-happiness dumplings and stir-fried cabbage with pork. Even in my dream, I fried stir-fried cabbage with pork all night, and there was a mysterious chef next door who was making four-happiness dumplings all the time.

After waking up from the dream, Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh, if only his game system could allow him to cook in his dreams, then he would be able to improve rapidly, shock the industry, and become a generation of cooking god.

Unfortunately, there is no such feature.

When Qin Huai woke up, there was no movement in Qin Luo's room. Qin Huai could only wash up quickly and quietly, then glanced at the table to see that Qin Luo had finished the test paper. He found that Qin Luo had a good attitude and had finished it, so he left with satisfaction.

In Huang’s kitchen, Gu Li is making Ruyi rolls.

Gu Li was not surprised to see Qin Huai coming. He had become accustomed to Master Qin's elusive work style. He would come early when he was in a good mood and come later when he wanted to slack off. No matter when Master Qin came, he had his reasons.

Gu Li skillfully interrupted the making of Ruyi Scroll to make tea for Qin Huai, then walked to Qin Huai and asked, "Master Qin, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Please help me prepare the ingredients for the four-happiness dumplings. No, help me prepare the ingredients for the sesame candy filling and red bean filling. I want to make these two fillings first today." Qin Huai said.

Gu Li had no doubts, thinking that Qin Huai just remembered that he was running low on sesame candy and red bean fillings. Huang Ji's kitchen actually has these two fillings ready all year round, but Qin Huai, like Zheng Da, likes to use his own fillings when making dim sum.

Red bean filling and sesame candy filling are not complicated fillings, but they need a certain amount of time to be placed, usually made today and used tomorrow. These two fillings are basic skills for Guli, and they are the entry-level sweet fillings for white-case chefs, and they are very skilled in preparing the materials.

Qinhuai first makes the sesame candy filling.

To be honest, the preparation of sesame candy filling is very simple. Just crush the fried sesame seeds, add appropriate amount of white sugar and heat it, then pour in vegetable oil, a small amount of starch and water and stir wildly until it becomes viscous. It can be used after cooling.

The only difficulty is to control the amount of water added to ensure the viscosity. The specific amount of sesame and sugar depends on the sweetness required by the chef. Different desserts have different requirements for the sweetness of sesame candy fillings.

From last night’s video tutorial, Qin Huai learned that the difficulty of making sesame candy filling lies not only in the amount of water used, but also in the strength and speed of stirring.

The former ensures that the sesame candy filling will not fail, while the latter makes the sesame candy filling even better.

Soon, Qin Huai reached the mixing step.

When making sesame candy fillings before, in order to prevent the temperature from dropping and causing changes in the degree of adhesion, Qin Huai stirred it as frantically as possible at the highest speed.

Now that he has learned a new and useful technique, Qin Huai began to try to control the stirring speed. As long as the amount of water is controlled and warm water is added several times in small amounts, the temperature can be effectively controlled.

Guli had already returned to the kitchen counter to start making Ruyi rolls, but when he saw that Qin Huai was stirring slowly and was intentionally controlling the speed to closely observe the state of the sesame candy filling, as if he was testing something, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and watch Qin Huai make the sesame candy filling.

When trying out a new method for the first time, Qinhuai adopted a production mode of small quantities and multiple times.

When Qin Huai did it for the second time, Tan Weian and several other Zhiweiju chefs came to work.

Seeing Qin Huai coming over so early to make sesame candy filling, Tan Weian didn't think much about it. He thought Qin Huai had run out of sesame candy filling at home, so he came over early to make new ones.

Tan Weian knew that Qin Huai would go home to make four-happiness dumplings after get off work in the evenings during this period, but he didn't know what specific flavors he made.

When Qin Huai was about to finish the second time and start the third time, Zheng Siyuan came.

Zheng Siyuan was surprised to see Qin Huai making sesame candy fillings, and asked, "Don't you have a lot left from last time? Why are you making new ones?"

"You want to research sesame candy-filled snacks recently?"

"No, this Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Dumpling is not yet fully finished. Now I must continue to study the Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Dumpling while taking advantage of the victory. I don't have so much free time to study other snacks. I have been thinking about the Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Dumpling carefully in the past two days. I feel that I can't just focus on the fruit filling. This Four Happiness has four flavors. I can't neglect the red bean paste filling, sesame candy filling and meat filling."

"The sesame candy filling I made before is somewhat unsuitable for the four-happiness dumplings. I plan to make a suitable batch today." Qin Huai said.

Hearing Qin Huai say this, Zheng Siyuan was very pleased and went straight forward to look at the first and second batches made by Qin Huai.

"It seems to be slightly finer than before." Zheng Siyuan expressed his approval of the sesame candy filling, "This way the glutinous rice balls will taste better after being cooked. I was negligent. I only focused on the fruit filling during this period and forgot that four-happiness glutinous rice balls are not the only filling."

"Shall I do it with you?" Zheng Siyuan suggested.

Qin Huai waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary. "I'll do it now. You can make the wontons first. Luo Luo is coming over for dinner this morning. If she comes here today and finds that there is no chicken noodle soup, crepe wontons, or bubble wontons, I'm afraid she will cry and go back to make up for the missed lessons."

After hearing what Qin Huai said, Zheng Siyuan instantly realized the importance of wontons and walked to the kitchen counter to start kneading the dough.

Just after pouring the flour, Zheng Siyuan looked at Qin Huai as if he remembered something, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Although Zheng Siyuan didn't say a word, Qin Huai knew what he was going to say. Zheng Siyuan wanted to eat longevity noodles.

Qin Huai felt that people’s tastes were indeed very different. In terms of dim sum rating, Guo’er was definitely rated higher than longevity noodles. Guo’er was an A-grade dim sum.

But as a professional pastry chef with a normal sense of taste who is much better than most people, if you ask Zheng Siyuan to choose, he will definitely choose longevity noodles.

I just love to eat.

He loves eating so much that Qinhuai couldn't figure out whether Zheng Siyuan loved eating noodles or drinking the broth in the longevity noodles.

"I have to make the filling this morning, so I don't have enough time to make chicken noodle soup. How about this, I'll make two bowls."

"No, three bowls. Luoluo has to eat two bowls."

Zheng Siyuan nodded and continued kneading the dough with satisfaction.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Qin Luo successfully had a sumptuous Huang Ji breakfast. Everyone at Huang Ji finally met Qin Luo's legendary sister and witnessed her appetite.

Two bowls of chicken noodle soup, two bowls of wontons, a basket of xiaolongbao, a portion of Ruyi roll, and a portion of rice cake.

Qin Luo's appetite increased after he started taking extra classes.

The child is still growing, so it is normal for him to eat a lot.

Dong Shi was stunned, and kept muttering to the unknown chef of Zhiweiju. No wonder Qin Huai had always said that he made snacks for his sister. His sister had such a big appetite, and it was obvious that she was a good food taster.

Of course, Qin Luo's appetite was just a casual conversation among Huang Ji's people after work. That day, everyone continued to work as usual, and Qin Huai used his spare time to make the red bean paste and sesame candy fillings needed for the four-happiness dumplings the next day.

This normal preparation of ingredients did not attract everyone's attention. Only Huang Shengli praised Qin Huai for his great progress during the afternoon's teaching on heat control. Although he did not make a breakthrough, he made fewer mistakes.

When practicing basic skills, making fewer mistakes means great progress.

No one can soar to the sky overnight, and no apprentice can acquire 10 years of internal skills in one day. Progress is a slow accumulation process, and making fewer mistakes is the best reflection of learning ability.

No one knew that Qin Huai was going to show everyone a big one on the second day.

The next morning, Qin Huai came to the kitchen early, just like yesterday.

Guli was a little surprised to see Qin Huai coming early for two consecutive days, but he didn't show it on his face. He put down his work as usual, made tea, and then helped Qin Huai.

Gu Li's job today is to help Qin Huai cut meat.

For dumplings with fresh meat filling, it is important to have good meat filling.

The meat filling should be firm, because it is pure meat filling, it cannot be too lean nor too fat. A little starch can be added to the meat, and the minced meat must be fine so that it tastes good.

When preparing the filling, you should adhere to the principle of not adding too many seasonings. Although pork is a good base material and is suitable for any seasoning, you cannot add a lot of seasonings, as if the pork is not fresh and more seasonings are added to cover up the taste.

As the only salty dumpling in this version of Four Joys Dumplings, the fresh meat stuffing dumpling should play a role in regulating the balance and be a neutral referee in a bowl of Four Joys Dumplings, so that diners will not get sick of eating three sweet stuffing dumplings in a row, nor will they be disappointed after eating three delicious sweet stuffing dumplings and suddenly eating an ordinary salty stuffing dumpling.

Guli was chopping the meat filling while Qinhuai was making the fruit filling.

Qin Huai has tried 6 of the 4 kinds of fruit fillings in the video tutorial. Today, he only plans to make these 4 and try the rest slowly.

One, two...

As one portion of fruit filling after another was produced, the chefs of Zhiweiju, led by Tan Weian, went to work one after another.

Seeing Qin Huai making four-happiness dumplings, Tan Weian still didn't find it strange. He glanced at them casually and saw that Qin Huai didn't seem to need his help, so he went to make snacks.

Zheng Siyuan came here when Qinhuai was making glutinous rice wrappers.

Seeing Qin Huai coming so early again, Zheng Siyuan was very pleased. He didn't ask much. He just took a few glances and went to the kitchen counter to knead dough and make wontons.

Qin Huai started making dumplings.

It is not a blind box model, but a standard model, which comes in 4 different shapes.

One by one, batches of glutinous rice balls are born in Qin Huai's hands.

"Is Zheng Siyuan free? Help me cook the dumplings. Cook the four fillings separately." Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Qin Huai asked Zheng Siyuan for help.

If you want to maximize the quality and taste of the dumplings, the four fillings should be cooked separately.

Without waiting for Zheng Siyuan to answer, Dong Shi volunteered: "I'll do it, I'll do it!"

With Dong Shi's level, cooking a glutinous rice ball is definitely a piece of cake. Qin Huai confidently handed the glutinous rice balls to Dong Shi to cook while he continued to make the remaining glutinous rice balls.

At 9 o'clock, Chen Huihong, Chen Huihui and Qin Luo arrived at the kitchen door on time.

"Brother! Are the noodles ready? I need to make up my math later, and I want to eat three bowls of noodles today!" Qin Luo stood at the kitchen door and called his elder brother frantically.

Qin Huai glanced at the dumplings in the pot.

The dumplings in the pot were actually ready. Dong Shi had already turned off the fire and was looking for a bowl to scoop out the dumplings.

"We don't have chicken noodle soup today, but we do have freshly made four-happiness dumplings. Just eat two bowls. If you eat too much, you won't be able to digest it."

"Freshly made? Great!" Qin Luo cheered.

Qin Huai felt that today's four-happiness dumplings were indeed worthy of Qin Luo's praise.

【Four Joys Dumplings Grade B+】

I'm sorry, Sanding Bao. Before, you were the best white pastry that I made with my own skills, but from today on, you are no longer.

My Master Qin has a new love.

Four-happiness dumplings.

good to eat.

Even though no one has eaten yet.

But those who have tasted it will definitely say it’s good!
