The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 254 Questionnaire Survey
Soon, Dong Shi’s brilliant guess spread to every corner of Huangji.

Everyone thought it was outrageous but believed it without a doubt. During lunch, Huang Shengli even asked Qin Luo with a kind smile if there was anything he liked to eat.

Qin Luo was ecstatic and spoke boldly, saying that she wanted to eat the huge whole pig head that Qin Huai posted on his circle of friends.

Huang Shengli said that Qin Luo had good taste and ordered his most famous signature dish at Huang's right away. He told Qin Luo not to worry and wait for two days. He asked Huang Anyao to contact the supplier to purchase the most suitable pig head for roasting, and then make a good one for Qin Luo.

Qin Huai, who was sitting at the side and eating, was stunned. Why didn't he get the same treatment when he ate the roasted whole pig's head?

Master Huang, am I no longer the Xiao Qin you value most?
That afternoon, Xiao Qin, who was no longer valued, turned his grief and anger into motivation for practice, and frantically fried two buckets of stir-fried cabbage and meat. Although there was improvement, the level remained the same. Dong Shi's eyes were dizzy, as if he had foreseen the miserable dinner of stir-fried cabbage and meat that he could not finish.

In order to prevent Dong Shi from getting scared at the sight of the stir-fried cabbage with meat and almost leaving, Qin Huai considerately packed two servings and took them back for Qin Luo as dinner.

Qin Luo enjoyed the meal very much. He picked out all the meat and ate it, leaving two portions of cabbage for Qin Huai.

Qin Huai brought back some chopped meat along with the food in the evening.

Zheng Siyuan helped chop the meat.

When it comes to knife skills, there are many chefs in Huang's kitchen who are better than Zheng Siyuan. The reason why Qin Huai specifically asked Zheng Siyuan to help chop the meat is because Zheng Siyuan is the chef who knows best what kind of meat filling is needed for pure meat dumplings.

Of course Zheng Da also understood this, but he definitely would not be willing to do this kind of work that only a helper could do.

It would be another matter if Qin Huai was willing to worship Zheng Da as his master on the spot.

As long as Qin Huai was willing to learn from Zheng Da, let alone mincing meat, even if Qin Huai wanted 30 catties of meat, 10 catties of it would be minced into minced meat without fat, 10 catties of fat meat would be minced into minced meat without lean meat, and 10 catties of cartilage would be minced into minced meat without meat. Zheng Da would happily do it and give him 10 catties of hand-made beef balls, 10 catties of hand-made fish balls, and 10 catties of hand-made pork balls as gifts.

But it can only last for one day.

If you want Zheng Da to accomplish the above tasks next time, you must make Qin Huai betray his master first and then become his disciple.

Sorry for going off topic, let’s get back to the topic.

The minced meat made by Zheng Siyuan is undoubtedly very suitable for fresh meat dumplings. The meat is in a good state, in between hand-made pork balls and minced meat, not too tight or too loose, and can lock in the juice well.

This kind of meat filling will definitely taste delicious if it is slightly seasoned and wrapped in dumplings.

Generally speaking, glutinous rice balls with fresh meat filling are the easiest to make.

Pork is a very tolerant food. As long as the meat itself is fresh, it will taste good no matter how it is cooked, especially when used to make meat-filled pastries. Even if it is not fresh, adding a lot of spices can cover up the stale taste. For Qin Luo, she loves to eat anything that is pork.

Qin Huai cooked the stir-fried cabbage with meat in the afternoon and packed it up and brought it back in the evening. She would happily pick out and eat all the meat.

But when the four-happiness dumplings began to improve as a whole, Qin Huai discovered that the improvement rate of the dumplings with fresh meat filling seemed to be a little slower than the others.

There are quick tutorials, tips and methods for other types of dumplings, but there are none for those filled with fresh meat.

When Qin Huai was watching the teaching video, he felt that Jinglixiang was just using a normal method of making meat-filled dumplings, which was ordinary and without any skills at all.

If there is any difference, it is probably that his meat filling is a little too lean, with little fat. This is understandable in the current situation. In that era, fat meat was the best food and the most popular hard currency. The winter melon candy with fruit fillings in Jingli Township was made by everyone's scraping together. For this, Zheng Da was beaten by his mother.

It is possible to get winter melon candy, but it is difficult to get meat. Fresh meat cannot be stored for a long time, so it is normal that you cannot buy meat with the right fat and lean content in Jingli Township.

Qin Huai attributed the lack of improvement in his meat-filled glutinous rice balls to his lack of experience.

Although he has been making glutinous rice balls for such a long time, he has not made them with fresh meat filling very often.

If you are not proficient, then practice more.

Isn’t it just about gaining proficiency?

brush!
With this mentality, Qin Huai went home from get off work carrying a bag of fresh meat stuffing. He didn't even look at how much Qin Luo had written on the paper. He just handed her dinner and went straight into the kitchen to make dumplings.

In the kitchen, Qin Huai carefully makes four kinds of dumplings.

Even if you want to practice making glutinous rice balls with fresh meat filling, you cannot do it alone. This kind of glutinous rice balls needs to be eaten with the other three flavors. If they taste good when eaten alone, they may not be good when eaten together.

When making fresh meat filling, seasoning is very important.

The meat filling itself provides the texture, and the difference in taste depends entirely on the seasoning. Qin Huai follows the steps of seasoning in Jinglixiang in the video tutorial, adding salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, starch and other seasonings in turn, stirring the meat filling, and stirring repeatedly.

When it was time for Chen Huihui to go to bed, Chen Huihong had already sent her home. After sending her daughter home, Chen Huihong went back to wait for Tangtuan to eat. While waiting, she looked at her phone and asked:

"Xiao Qin, you sent a message two hours ago saying that there would be a food tasting tonight, and everyone in the group was asking what time it would be."

Observer No. 1 Chen Huihong is very dedicated.

"Today's dumplings are divided into different shapes, so a serving consists of 4 dumplings. Can I have another bowl after finishing one?" Observer No. 2 Ouyang asked while holding the bowl.

Ouyang had heard that Qinhuai's Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls had been transformed, so he decided to have a big meal tonight.

Even though he was eating dinner now, he decided to have another big meal later.

Ouyang didn't go to Huang Ji for lunch in the morning these days, not because he was embarrassed, but because he simply couldn't get up.

Since living alone, Ouyang has developed the bad habit of playing with his mobile phone late at night. He often sleeps until noon and then goes to Guanhelou or other restaurants for a meal. In the evening, he comes to Qinhuai's house to wait for the packed dinner.

Thanks to Ouyang, Qin Luo, Chen Huihong and Chen Huihui, Qin Huai has been packing more and more dinners these days. Ouyang and Qin Luo are both capable of doing the work of two people. When there are food tastings in the evening, Qin Huai can pack less. If not, Qin Huai feels like a delivery man on the way back with the packed dinners.

"Eat, you can eat anything. The dumplings with red bean paste, sesame candy and various fruits fillings were all made and brought back during the day. I only make the ones with fresh meat filling now, so you can have as much as you want." Qin Huai said.

With Qin Huai's guarantee, Ouyang felt relieved and continued to eat.

"Sister Hong, please tell everyone in the group that they can come over to eat dumplings in 40 minutes."

"Okay!" Chen Huihong started sending messages.

Qin Huai continued to stir the filling.

His intuition told him that the glutinous rice balls with fresh meat filling seemed to be the simplest of the four kinds of glutinous rice balls, but the actual difficulty of making them might be no less than those with various fruit fillings.

He thinks it's simple only because his level has not yet reached the point where he can discover its difficulty.

40 minutes later, the uncles and aunts gathered again at Qin Huai's and Gong Liang's homes.

Gong Liang, Guo Mingzhu and Gong Baozhu all ran to the living room of Qin Huai's house. Gong Baozhu didn't expect that she would encounter such a good thing on the first day after moving in. She was so excited that her face turned red. She grabbed her mother and kept asking if there were any precautions when eating the dumplings later.

Is there a limit on quantity, do you need to wash the dishes, and what tone and adjectives should you use to praise after eating.

If you want to give praise, should you tell the truth, exaggerate, or make up something?

Guo Mingzhu told her daughter that if the dumplings tasted good, she should just be herself, and if they didn’t taste good, she should start to cultivate herself as an actor.

Her parents will give her a model of how to act, and it can't be too exaggerated because all the people in the room are professional actors.

Gong Baozhu didn't understand, but felt it was very difficult, so she decided to hide behind and learn from the experience while eating the dumplings later.

The newcomers are learning and the old ones are communicating.

Because Xu Tuqiang left home late, he couldn't even squeeze into Qin Huai's house and had to stay at Gong Liang's house. While comforting himself that this house had floor heating, he cursed Uncle Qian and Grandma Ding for not leaving a seat for him, and at the same time took out a small notebook and repeatedly reviewed the words in the notebook.

These days, when Qin Huai was not making dumplings in the evening, the uncles and aunts were busy practicing their lines at home.

Regardless of whether you can hit the point or not, you have to say it first.

I think this glutinous rice dumpling is very good. It is made of glutinous rice skin washed with well water. The glutinous rice dumpling with fruit filling has a fresh fragrance, is smooth and refreshing, elastic and non-sticky, and has a strong nutty flavor. The combination of preserved fruits and nuts complements each other and is perfect in nature.

Don’t worry about whether what you say is right or not, just say it first.

Among the crowd waiting to taste the food, Qin Luo was the only one who was different.

The child is writing papers in Gong Liang's room. The room in Qin Huai's rented house does not have a desk, but the room in Gong Liang's house next door has a desk, which was newly purchased when he moved. It is a brand new study desk, which is very suitable for writing papers.

It's much more comfortable than sitting at the dining table to write a paper.

Gong Liang and Guo Mingzhu said that in the future, their children can come to them to do their papers if they need them. They can also come to them for extra lessons, as their home has floor heating, which is warm.

In the kitchen, Qin Huai was cooking dumplings.

There were only two stoves in the kitchen, and it was impossible to cook the four kinds of dumplings in four different pots. Qinhuai had to be a little more casual and cook them in two pots, focusing on cooking the dumplings with fresh meat filling.

The dumplings are out of the pot.

All were served at once. According to the old rules, Ouyang tasted the food after 3 minutes and 50 seconds. After the taste test, Ouyang went to the next room to call Qin Luo over, and Chen Huihong helped to distribute the dumplings.

It’s been a while since I’ve had normal four-happiness dumplings, and the old men and women were a little shocked when they saw the bowl.

Hey, no need to open the blind box today.

Everyone started eating.

Qin Huai also started eating.

Qinhuai eats the one with fruit filling first.

good to eat.

The standard answer is that the glutinous rice balls with various fruit fillings are undoubtedly delicious, with just the right sweetness and perfect combination. Whether it is melon seeds, peanuts or walnuts and almonds, they are all delicious. Each flavor has its own characteristics, and they all highlight the flavor of nuts on the basis of winter melon candy as the main tone.

This is a sweet favorite.

Qin Huai was the first to define glutinous rice balls with various fruit fillings.

Then eat the one with red bean paste filling.

It has a crunchy texture and a mellow taste, which is the very standard taste of red bean paste with moderate sweetness. It tastes very good and you can feel the red bean paste flowing on the tip of your tongue with just a sip. The warm touch and the soft and sticky texture of the glutinous rice skin are simply the best match.

This one tastes better, the red bean paste filling is the better one!
One point for the red bean paste filling!
For the third one, Qinhuai chose pure meat filling to neutralize the taste.

After eating two sweet-filled dumplings, Qin Huai felt a little sick of them and urgently needed a salty dumpling to balance the situation.

Take one bite.

Very general.

After eating two sweet fillings in a row, the fresh meat filling in my mouth was set off by the ordinary. It was like a cup of boiled water between the two dishes. It was eaten for rinsing the mouth, and it could not play the role of icing on the cake, let alone provide timely help.

After finishing the regular meat-filled dumplings, Qin Huai moved on to the ones filled with sesame candy.

Oh, it tastes good again.

Sorry about the salty filling, in today's bowl of four-happiness dumplings, the sweet filling is the real protagonist.

Sure enough, today is another day where I haven’t mastered the secret of fresh meat stuffing.

Qin Huai swallowed the last bite of glutinous rice ball and burped.

Very supportive.

Glancing at the kitchen, Qin Luo had already started eating his second bowl.

Ouyang was almost done with his second bowl.

"Eat less. Eating too much glutinous rice at night can cause indigestion." Qin Huai gave a friendly reminder and pushed the door open to go out.

The room was packed with people.

Everyone was eating the dumplings in big mouthfuls. The bowls of those who ate quickly were empty and they had finished all the soup, while those who ate slowly were still eating the last dumpling.

When they saw Qin Huai coming out, the old men and women seemed a little excited and squeezed forward, wanting to be the first to speak.

"Master Qin, today's dumplings are simply..."

"Don't worry, there are still dumplings in the kitchen. If you don't have enough, you can wait a while. I have a questionnaire here, please fill it out first. Luoluo, come out first and take out your pen, we don't have enough pens." Qin Huai took out a stack of questionnaires and interrupted the spell.

The uncles and aunts were all confused.

Questionnaire?

Today we are actually filling out a questionnaire?

Didn't we just evaluate directly before? If we fill in a questionnaire, how should we say the words we prepared these days? Should we write them in the comments of the questionnaire?
Qin Luo ran out to find a pen. Although the child's grades were not good, he had a lot of equipment, more than 20 pens alone, so there was no pressure to distribute them.

Qin Huai and Qin Luo handed out questionnaires and pens respectively, and soon everyone had a copy. Since the font was printed very normal, many of the elderly were forced to take out their reading glasses and squint their eyes to study the questionnaire carefully. The scene looked like a large-scale fraud scene.

[Shocked, the elderly collectively filled out the questionnaire, the truth behind it turned out to be...]

The questions in the questionnaire are:

[1. Do you prefer sweets or salty food?

2. Please write down your favorite meat-filled pastry: __
3. What do you think is the most important thing about meat-filled pastries?
4. Which of the following snacks do you prefer?

……

10. What is your favorite flavor of today's Four Joys Dumplings: __]

This is a questionnaire Qin Huai carefully prepared for the fresh meat-filled dumplings. Starting from today, Qin Huai will send a questionnaire to the elderly every night to see if the answers have changed.

The uncles and aunts began to write furiously.

Gong Baozhu was confused when she received the questionnaire, thinking, isn't it about the self-cultivation of actors? How did it become a random test?

However, in order to prove her love for the Four-Happiness Tangyuan, Gong Baozhu left a message at the bottom after filling out the questionnaire: I love all four flavors, Master Qin, your cooking skills are really amazing!

After filling out the questionnaire, the elderly did not bother us too much. They calculated the amount of glutinous rice balls left in the pot, and each of us took two and went home with our bowls.

Everyone will wash and return these bowls tomorrow. Chen Huihong is at Qin Huai's house during the day to supervise Qin Luo doing his homework, so there is always someone at home.

After everyone left, Qin Huai studied the questionnaire.

Everyone has different tastes, but the answer to the last question is relatively uniform.

70% red bean paste filling, 20% various fruit filling and 10% sesame candy filling.

Qin Luo, who loves meat, chose the red bean paste filling on the last question.

It can be seen that in the face of absolute taste advantage, personal taste preferences can be ignored.

The fresh meat filling looks like a passerby compared to the other three sweet fillings.

Ugh.

Qin Huai sighed.

You have to work hard to make the fresh meat filling, because you are the only salty filling in the four-happiness dumplings!

You have to stand up straight!
