The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 253 Chew Chew Chew

A bowl of glutinous rice balls, 4 in different shapes, all in a beautiful white porcelain color, you can tell at a glance that they are well cooked.

The dumplings were cooked in four pots, and they were easy to serve. Dong Shi served all the dumplings, one bowl at a time, while Qin Huai counted down to 3 minutes and 50 seconds. Qin Luo stood on tiptoes at the kitchen door, waiting impatiently.

Although Qin Luo doesn't have to wait for 3 minutes and 50 seconds, eating too much hot food is bad for the body, so it's better to let the child wait a little longer.

3 minutes 50 seconds.

Qin Huai walked out with two bowls of glutinous rice balls. Outside the kitchen, Qin Luo, Chen Huihong and Chen Huihui were already sitting on a small stool. The stool was not from Huang's, probably bought by Chen Huihong herself, and it was fully equipped.

"Four-happiness dumplings." Qin Huai said, handing the bowl to Qin Luo and Chen Huihong.

Qin Luo took the glutinous rice dumpling immediately, scooped up a piece of red bean paste filling and stuffed it into his mouth in a flash, bit off most of it in one bite, and chewed it frantically.

After swallowing one pill, Qin Luo had time to sigh.

"Brother, this is so delicious! Freshly made Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls are really delicious, much better than the frozen ones in the refrigerator! I want to eat this tomorrow too!"

When it comes to showing support, Qin Luo is professional.

After finishing his words, Qin Luo continued to eat hard. His mouth was so full that he couldn't even make a "hmm" sound. He could only turn into a ruthless glutinous rice ball chewing machine.

Qin Luo was eating dumplings, and Chen Huihong was not idle either. In many cases, Chen Huihong still shone with the radiance of maternal love. She never ate alone, and always remembered to share a bite of food with her daughter.

"Come here, Huihui, open your mouth, mom will feed you." The bowl for the glutinous rice balls was quite big, and Chen Huihong was afraid that Chen Huihui couldn't hold it, so she fed it to her directly.

Chen Huihui opened her mouth wide, took a small bite, and chewed like Qin Luo, chewing until her cheeks bulged like a hamster.

Chen Huihui tried to speak while chewing, but she couldn't open her mouth and could only make mumbling sounds.

Chen Huihong didn't notice her daughter's situation because she didn't have much maternal love at this moment.

Chen Huihong just picked out a glutinous rice dumpling stuffed with sesame candy, which is the most well-known sweet glutinous rice dumpling stuffed with sesame filling, and the raw material for the sesame glutinous rice skin soup that Dean Qin is best at.

Chen Huihui took a small bite. There was still most of the glutinous rice dumpling left in the spoon. The glutinous rice dumpling with a corner missing was a little deflated, and the black sesame candy filling slowly flowed out.

It really leaked out.

The thick black color looks very dense, just like the false propaganda that appears in TV commercials. The white glutinous rice skin is filled with sesame filling, which is black and shiny, as smooth as melted chocolate, and makes people feel as if they can taste the sweet taste of sesame filling just by looking at it.

Not only is it sweet, it also has the aroma of crushed sesame seeds.

That is the taste of glutinous rice balls, and also the taste of festivals.

Tangtuan was the only thing left in Chen Huihong's eyes.

Chen Huihong felt that she had not seen such delicious sesame-filled dumplings in several lifetimes. She had eaten many snacks made by Qinhuai, and had eaten more delicious snacks than those made by Qinhuai in her first life. At this moment, she swallowed a mouthful of water in a very cowardly manner.

Almost subconsciously, Chen Huihong stuffed the glutinous rice ball into her mouth, trying to swallow it in one bite.

Package failed.

Chen Huihong had to settle for the next best thing and bite off half of it in one bite.

The rich flavor of sesame candy instantly filled her entire mouth. Chen Huihong didn't dare to open her mouth, fearing that the wonderful feeling would dissipate as soon as she opened her mouth. She could only imitate Qin Luo and Chen Huihui and chew and chew non-stop.

At this moment, the three people's actions were unified.

No one speaks.

Finally, Chen Huihui, who took the smallest bite, finished chewing it first, swallowed it, and said loudly: "Mom, this big dumpling is so delicious!"

Chen Huihong, whose maternal love had returned, stuffed the remaining glutinous rice balls in the spoon into her daughter's hands, and Chen Huihui continued to chew with her cheeks puffed out.

A bowl of Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls only has 4 pieces, which may not sound like a lot, but in fact the glutinous rice balls are large, and the glutinous rice snacks themselves are hard to chew and swallow, so it takes quite a while to finish a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

Seeing that Qin Luo, who was known for eating fast, had only eaten the second tangyuan, Qin Huai decided to go back and eat a bowl first and then come out to continue for Qin Luo.

Based on Qin Huai's understanding of his sister, when it comes to such delicious dim sum that she is eating for the first time, one bowl is definitely not enough, and she needs at least two bowls.

As for how many bowls to eat, it depends on whether Qin Luo still wants to eat Zheng Siyuan’s crepe wontons and bubble wontons today, and whether he is still interested in xiaolongbao, rice cakes, siu mai and rice cakes.

When Qin Huai entered the kitchen with the bowl, Huang's kitchen had already been occupied by Four Happiness Tangtuan.

Almost everyone was holding a bowl of glutinous rice balls in one hand, a spoon in the other, chewing non-stop, and occasionally uttering the highest word of praise.

Among the people eating glutinous rice balls, the one with the most expressive expression is undoubtedly Tan Weian.

Tan Weian took a bite of the glutinous rice dumpling and looked at the filling. His eyes were three parts shock, three parts puzzlement and four parts doubt about life. He chewed and thought for a second, chewed and thought for a second. He didn't look like he was eating the glutinous rice dumpling, but rather was being eaten by the glutinous rice dumpling.

It was as if there was a huge four-happiness dumpling on his head that was gnawing at his soul bite by bite. Every bite made a grunting sound, and with every chew, Tan Weian's eyes became duller.

Tan Weian was dumbfounded.

He knew that Qin Huai was an excellent pastry chef, someone worth learning from, and the respected Master Qin in everyone's eyes.

He also knew that Qin Huai had an amazing ability to learn and correct his mistakes. He was quick to learn everything, even to make mistakes. When making glutinous rice balls with various fruit fillings, Qin Huai could always make a better mistake than others.

Moreover, Qin Huai comes from a wild background and is not bound by rules. He is innovative and creative, loves new things and never gets tired of old things. He is always learning and researching.

For such a person, no matter what achievements he makes, it seems that no one will be surprised.

Tan Weian tried to convince himself that it was normal that Qin Huai had suddenly mastered the art of making Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls within a few days, and that it had reached a higher level overall. Not only had there been breakthroughs in the fruit filling, but even fillings such as red bean paste, sesame candy and meat, which had not been specifically studied before, had suddenly become more delicious, as if he had discovered a new way of making them.

As for Master Qin, any kind of achievement is acceptable.

He should accept and understand...

What the hell is acceptance and understanding?

There was a little man in Tan Weian’s heart who was collapsing, screaming, smashing bowls, tearing down houses, rolling, twisting, struggling, and crawling in the dark.

How could he accept this?!
Doesn’t Qin Huai work with him every day?

Didn’t he make the four-happiness dumplings these past two days?

Didn’t he come to Huang’s an hour earlier than usual yesterday and today?
Does Qin Huai have 48 hours in a day? Or does he have a habit of sleepwalking? He makes four-happiness dumplings every night, and he suddenly had an epiphany last night.

Not buddy.

What's going on?

Even if you go home and practice hard secretly after get off work every day, it's only a few hours.

Even if you have some dark circles under your eyes these past two days, it doesn’t look like you’ve been practicing all night.

Staying up all night has such a miraculous effect?

How about he go back and practice all night tonight?
Tan Weian took another bite of the glutinous rice dumpling. He was eating the one with red bean paste filling.

The perfect sweetness, the delicate taste, the crunchy filling combined with the soft and sticky rice, you can feel the bean paste flowing in your mouth with just a sip.

Tan Wei'an has eaten a lot of glutinous rice balls with red bean paste fillings, and he has also eaten a lot of dim sum with red bean paste fillings. As a professional pastry chef, Tan Wei'an knows that the simpler the filling, the more difficult it is to make.

It's not the difficulty of making, but the difficulty of improving. It's easy to make red bean paste and sesame candy fillings passable, it's also easy to make them generally good, and it's not too difficult to make them delicious. But if you want people to remember the taste as soon as they eat it, and feel that this filling and snack are a match made in heaven, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Qin Huai’s Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls didn’t reach this level, but Tan Weian felt he had achieved it.

Because this filling goes really well with it.

Tan Weian keenly discovered that this was a bowl of well-matched four-happiness glutinous rice balls. Its four fillings were harmonious and unified. They were delicious but not outstanding, but each had a distinct personality.

Tan Weian savored the warm bean paste in his mouth.

Absolutely delicious.

Zheng Siyuan walked up to Qin Huai with the glutinous rice balls in his hand and asked in a firm tone, "Did you make the fillings yesterday specifically for today's glutinous rice balls?"

Qin Huai was serving glutinous rice balls. He nodded when he heard this: "I guess so. It is indeed a special glutinous rice ball filling, but the taste has not changed much. It has changed the texture more and increased the compatibility between the filling and the glutinous rice skin."

Zheng Siyuan took a bite of the glutinous rice ball, chewed it calmly, and asked, "What have you been researching during this period?"

"Yes." Qin Huai said without hesitation.

These two days are also during this period of time.

Then Qin Huai began his performance: "Four-happiness dumplings originally have four flavors. We practiced making the filling with various fruits before because we couldn't find a clue for the filling so we had to keep trying. Now the recipe for the filling with various fruits has been worked out. Of course, we also need to practice making dumplings with other fillings. Only when the four flavors are fully matched can it be called Four-happiness dumplings."

"If you only pursue one flavor of glutinous rice balls, highlighting that one, and ignoring the other three, it will appear to be the only one that stands out, making the other three types of glutinous rice balls become supporting roles."

"But in reality, the four of them are a whole, and we can't favor one over the other."

Zheng Siyuan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I was negligent."

"During this period, I was so focused on the fruit filling that I completely ignored the other three fillings. In fact, I only realized it when you came to my house to make glutinous rice balls two days ago. When I ate the four flavors of glutinous rice balls at noon that day, I suddenly realized that I hadn't eaten normal four-happiness glutinous rice balls for a long time."

"My dad and I make, wrap and eat fruit fillings every day. My mom and sister complained several times that they were about to vomit after eating fruit filling dumplings, but my dad and I didn't take it seriously. In fact, my mom and sister had already reminded us at that time that fruit filling dumplings alone were not delicious, and four-happiness dumplings must have four flavors to be complete."

"I wanted to tell you about this one of these two days, but I didn't tell you yesterday because I saw you were making the fillings instead of the dumplings. I didn't expect you had already thought of it."

Qin Huai was stunned by Zheng Siyuan's words. Qin Huai thought to himself that he hadn't even started making up the story yet, so how come Zheng Siyuan had already finished it for him?

Qin Huai could only say: "Do you want me to give you the new recipes for red bean filling and sesame candy filling?"

"I think my pure meat filling is still not good enough. Wait for me to study it for two more days."

When making glutinous rice balls in the morning, Qin Huai felt that the glutinous rice balls with pure meat filling were not as easy to make as the other three kinds with sweet fillings. He decided to go home in the evening and watch the teaching video several times. He watched it before going to bed every night for the past few days until he could recite it by heart.

These are all knowledge points, you have to learn them!

The teacher will test it.

Tan Weian felt like he understood.

It seems that Qin Huai has only practiced making glutinous rice balls with various fruit fillings during this period, but in fact he has been practicing making glutinous rice balls with three other flavors every day when he returns home.

While Tan Weian was still worrying about how to match the ingredients of the fruit filling so that the food would not turn out badly, Qin Huai had already started to look at the overall situation and prepare for the great success of the Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls.

When he felt that the research on Four Joys Glutinous Rice Balls could come to an end and the fruit filling had been successfully developed, Chef Qin began to consider how to match the four flavors of glutinous rice balls to improve the overall taste.

Qin Huai is always one step ahead of him. No, more than one step.

Sure enough, his vision was too narrow.

Master Qin is really far-sighted!

At this moment, Tan Weian was in awe of Qin Huai.

He felt as if he understood a lot and comprehended a lot.

It turned out that he suddenly stopped practicing the Qinhuai Glutinous Rice Balls with Hundred Fruit Stuffing. It was not because he was fickle, nor because he had only a short-lived interest in new dim sum. He was studying other things and preparing to improve the Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls.

Qin Huai did not slack off or take it easy. He worked hard silently and amazed everyone quietly!

"Qin Huai, you are so awesome!" Tan Weian exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Huai:......

What did Tan Weian imagine?
Qin Huai said nothing, just ate the dumplings in silence.

Chew chew chew.

Really delicious.

Master Jing’s video tutorial is really useful.

On the other hand, Dong Shi also found a reason for Qin Huai.

Dong Shi held the bowl, bent over, and approached Dong Li with the appearance of an underground worker on the street, and whispered: "Brother, I seem to have discovered the law of Qin Huai's improvement in making snacks!"

Dong Li showed a little interest in his brother's gossip: "Oh?"

Is there a pattern in the improvement of Qin Huai's dim sum? Hasn't he always improved as he continued to make it? There is no logic or reason at all.

"Do you remember that the last time Qin Huai came back from Shan City, the Sanding Buns became so delicious?" Dong Shi asked.

Dong Li nodded.

Qi Tian was attracted by Dong Shi's gossip and approached quietly.

"Have you noticed any changes around Qin Huai recently?" Dong Shi continued to ask mysteriously.

Huang Jia was also attracted and moved closer.

"What?" Dong Li asked.

"His sister Luoluo is here!"

Dong Li:?
"It was the same when I went back to Shan City last time. Luo Luo was in Shan City at that time. Qin Huai must have gone back and made Sanding buns for Luo Luo for a few days, and then the Sanding buns improved by leaps and bounds."

"Now Luoluo has just come here. Qin Huai has been making four-happiness dumplings for Luoluo for two days, and the four-happiness dumplings have improved by leaps and bounds!"

"What does this prove? This proves that Qin Huai didn't lie to us. He made snacks for his sister since he was a child. He only improved so quickly when making snacks for his sister!"

Everyone:? !

At this moment, Qin Luo finished eating the dumplings outside the kitchen and excitedly shouted to Qin Huai inside: "Brother, I'm done! I want to eat another bowl, I want to eat another bowl of pure meat!"

“I want to eat gnocchi tomorrow too!!”

Almost in an instant, all the people in Huangji who had listened to Dong Shi’s brilliant reasoning looked out the door, staring at Qin Luo with sharp eyes.

Qin Luo:……?
Qin Luo took a step back after being stared at. He put down the bowl he had picked up silently and asked cautiously, "Can we only eat one bowl of the dumplings here?"
