The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 275: Stuffing Master

When Cao Guixiang left, she was holding a large bag of four-happiness dumplings.

The kind of big bags that household black garbage bags are filled with.

As to whether the bag was a household black garbage bag... Qin Huai said he didn't care, since it was the largest bag he could find. He wanted to get a few more bags for Cao Guixiang, but Cao Guixiang didn't want any and only wanted one bag.

The amount was so large that Zhang Chu couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the bag: "It's not good for us to eat and take at the same time, right?"

"How many sets of molds do I need to make for Master Qin?"

Qin Huai sent Cao Guixiang and her family to the village entrance and watched them drive away before returning to continue tasting the Grade A four-happiness dumplings.

In terms of taste alone, Grade A four-happiness dumplings are definitely better than Grade B ones.

Yes, that's nonsense.

Qin Huai had mixed feelings when tasting the Grade A Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls.

If we want to break down what has changed in this glutinous rice dumpling, it is only the meat filling that has changed. The meat filling is chopped by Cao Guixiang, and the unique secret recipe of soaking in starch water provided by Cao Guixiang is also used.

Are the meat dumplings delicious after using the secret recipe?
Delicious, totally delicious.

It is so delicious that the originally plain and simple meat-filled glutinous rice balls, which only served as a link between the two, become the most delicious of the four dumplings.

It doesn't have a particularly tight texture, nor is it loose. It doesn't burst with juice when you bite it, nor can you feel the delicious juice when you chew it gently like Guoer. It doesn't have a unique chewy texture, nor a rich taste. It is just a simple, salty pork-flavored filling.

But it's delicious.

It's simple and delicious.

There is a kind of deliciousness that is simple and returns to nature.

It is the delicious taste that can be imagined by every child who has only eaten dishes cooked by his mother at home since childhood, has never seen the colorful food outside, and cannot imagine how delicious the exquisite dishes are when seen on TV. He can only construct the appearance of delicious dishes in his mind through his own cognition and poor imagination.

Because it is not fancy, it is very simple, just the feeling of simple home-cooked meat filling, but it is delicious.

This is delicious, delicious on its own, and even more delicious when eaten with the other three gnocchi.

Among the A-grade four-happiness dumplings, the fresh meat-filled dumplings finally caught up with the other three sweet-filled dumplings. They did not fall behind and were not too mediocre. They were stunning and played a very good role in carrying the others forward. They were stunning in a simple way, making the already delicious four-happiness dumplings even better.

In order to experience the overall flavor of the fresh meat dumplings, Qin Huai cooked another pot and ate 3 bowls.

12 dumplings.

He almost died of starvation in the kitchen.

Not everyone has the strength of Qin Luo and Ouyang.

Qin Luo watched Qin Huai eat three bowls of four-happiness dumplings, tears of envy almost flowed from the corners of his mouth. Seeing that Qin Huai obviously couldn't eat anymore, but there were still two bowls left, he wished he could eat them instead.

She just ate a bowl.

too delicious.

I ate too fast and it was gone before I could even get enough of it.

"Brother, brother, I can still eat!" Qin Luo said excitedly, actively raising his hand, "Do you want to try it? I'll eat it, I'll eat it."

Although Qin Luo had not started writing the test paper, Qin Huai did need a professional food taster, so he nodded: "Eat!"

Qin Luo rushed to the front bowl happily.

After Qin Luo finished the new portion, Qin Huai slowly asked: "What is the most amazing thing about the tangtuan now?"

"Meat!" Qin Luo said without hesitation, "Brother, the meat in your dumpling is super delicious!"

"The meat flavor is very strong and tastes very delicate, especially pork!"

Qin Huai understood Qin Luo's adjectives.

"Don't eat the other one yet. Wait for me to make you another one and then you can compare them." Qin Huai said.

Qin Huai wanted to know, why were today's meat dumplings so delicious, so delicious that the Four Happiness Dumplings were rated A at once, was it because the starch water was useful, or was it because Cao Guixiang's cooking skills were better than he thought.

He wanted to use the meat chopped by the second son-in-law of the village chief, soak it in starch water and make a batch of dumplings with fresh meat filling.

After such a long delay, the meat filling has already been prepared.

What can I say about the meat chopped by the village chief's second son-in-law...

It's a meat filling.

Qin Huai thought it was okay before, although not as good as Aunt Wang, but better than the average person. Now that there is a comparison...

Knife skills are indeed very important basic skills, which can reflect the level of a chef.

Same steps, same timing.

Soak in starch water twice, 5 minutes each time.

There is no obvious change in appearance.

Make dumplings.

Put the dumplings into the pot.

Soon, a bowl of brand new four-happiness dumplings came out of the pot.

【Four Joys Dumplings Grade B+】

Although the result was the same as he expected, Qin Huai was still a little surprised when he saw this level.

What the hell, what is Cao Guixiang's knife skills? The effect of helping to chop the stuffing is the same as soaking it in starch water.

No, to be precise, mincing is more effective because there is an unbridgeable gap between grade B+ and grade A.

Is there such a hidden talent in the next village? Such a great person actually went to the countryside as an educated youth. How good was the food in the next village in the early years?

Qin Huai even wondered, if Cao Guixiang could also make a big splash, and he asked Cao Guixiang to help him make the filling for Guo'er, would Guo'er's rank become...

I can’t think about it, I can’t think about it anymore. If I think about it again, it will become like daydreaming.

"Try it." Qin Huai handed the B+ grade four-happiness dumplings to Qin Luo.

Qin Luo understood Qin Huai's thoughts very well, and the first thing he ate was the one filled with meat.

"How is it?" Qin Huai asked.

"It tastes good, but not as good as before." Qin Luo chewed it carefully, showing a thoughtful expression, "It feels that the taste is not as delicate, and it doesn't have that much meaty flavor."

"No, it's not that there is no meat smell, it's just not as fragrant as before. The meat smell of that one was particularly fragrant."

Qin Luo's expression was not very clear, but Qin Huai already understood it.

Soaking in starch water can have a great effect on improving the meat filling itself, but the prerequisite for this improvement is that the meat filling reaches a sufficient score.

打个比方，肉馅如果是60分，提升10%就升到66分。但肉馅如果是100分，提升10%就是110分。

Cao Guixiang's amazing knife skills give the meat filling a very high base, and after being soaked in starch water, it is completely transformed.

Summary: It is not advisable to take shortcuts, so practice more if you are not good at it.

Cao Guixiang's knife skills can add basic points to the meat filling, and Qin Huai believes that the master-level stuffing can also be done.

He now knows what grade-A four-happiness dumplings taste like. He has a goal to strive for, the motivation to strive for it, and the pressure of deadline.

March 3th is Han Youxin’s birthday. It is already February 19th, and there is only one month left until the birthday party.

Judging from the rapid progress in his proficiency in making stuffing, Qin Huai is confident that he can reach master level in making stuffing before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Use half of the remaining time to continue practicing making the Four Happiness Tangyuan and consolidate your skills, and use the other half to control the heat.

There is no doubt that Cao Guixiang is a master of red case, and a much better master than Huang Shengli. Qin Huai even added the master's WeChat, and he felt that he could not waste her.

I studied with Master Huang for a few months, and I can also take a few days of online classes with Master Cao.

It would be even better if I could take two days of offline courses.

Qin Huai said that he felt at ease with Li Hua and Pei Xing in Yunzhong Canteen. As the boss, he might not be able to return to Yunzhong Canteen on time on the 16th day of the first lunar month. The neighbors should wait for him for a few more days while he improves himself.

Master Xiao Qin really wants to improve!
Master Qin, who wanted to improve so much, felt that he couldn't waste any more time. His previous efficiency was still too slow, and he couldn't listen to gossip while making the four-happiness dumplings.

Listening to gossip would only slow down his ability to make the dumplings.

Qin Huai looked at the large and small pots on the kitchen table with a sharp gaze, and a burning fighting spirit ignited in his heart.

The fire in his heart has been ignited!

"Luoluo." Qin Huai glanced at Qin Luo, who was still staring at the only Grade A Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls, and said, "Bring the glutinous rice balls into the house to eat."

"Ah?" Qin Luo suddenly had a bad premonition.

"After eating, I will do the test papers. It's already the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the teachers have only assigned two papers. I have to finish at least one math paper today." Qin Luotian was devastated.

She didn't understand why her brother's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. One second he was making snacks for her to try, and the next second he asked her to take the snacks back to her room to do her test paper.

However, Qin Luo knew the importance of the matter, and also knew that procrastination would do him no good. Procrastination might lead to more serious consequences - he would have to eat four-happiness dumplings for several more days.

And there is a high probability that you won’t be able to eat something as delicious as just now.

Qin Luo took the glutinous rice balls and went back to do his test paper obediently.

Qin Huai rolled up his sleeves and got into work mode, and asked his cousin He Cheng to convey a personnel transfer.

Tell the old branch secretary that he is unemployed and don't need to come to the kitchen to gossip anymore. Master Qin doesn't have time to listen.

Correspondingly, since the old branch secretary introduced that Zhang Chu's family made an indelible contribution to Master Qin's Four-Happiness Dumpling business, the old branch secretary could also get Four-Happiness Dumplings even if he didn't come to tell gossip, 3 bags a day, enough to keep you full!

After taking a day off, the old branch secretary felt as if the sky had fallen on him as he went home to happily play mahjong after seeing Zhang Chu's family off.

What’s the use of 3 bags of Four-Happiness Rice Balls? His staff meals are gone!

Qin Dali, Qin Dali, why did you neglect it? After sending Xiao Zhang and his family away, you should quickly return to the kitchen to tell Qin Huai more exciting gossip. Is mahjong so fun? Do we have to play mahjong today?
Who was it? Who spread rumors in Qin Huai's place and caused him to lose his job!

Qin Huai didn't know what the old branch secretary and Qin Luo were thinking. He had already devoted himself to the making of Four Happiness Dumplings.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings returned home with bags full of glutinous rice balls.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings returned home with more dumplings than on the seventh day.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the relatives were almost unable to carry the food.

Qin Huai was making dumplings in the kitchen day and night. He stopped listening to gossip, chatting, drinking tea, or cooking employee meals. He even handed over his sister's study to his parents for supervision.

If you are really tired, just make some simple chicken noodle soup to relax.

Because there were too many chicken noodle soups, the task of cooking chicken soup was outsourced to several large chicken farmers in the village. For a time, the old hens in the village were killed one after another, and the fragrance of chicken noodle soup filled every household.

If you hear sizzling sounds at noon or in the afternoon, it means that the old hen in your house has died a worthy death.

If making chicken noodle soup is still tiring, Qin Huai will open the attribute panel to take a look at his proficiency.

Just one look at it makes me feel refreshed.

Victory is in sight, folks!

Friends who like to play games know that they won’t feel tired when they are on a winning streak.

No one will say, "Oh, the game time is too long today, let's just stop here and not fight until the last bar of blood is gone" when the boss's blood is gone.

By the tenth day of the first lunar month, Grandma Qin felt that she couldn't go on like this.

It’s not because I feel sorry for my grandson.

You can’t say that, you still have to feel sorry for your grandson.

But Qin Huai himself said that he had a very important job in March. He worked so hard during the Chinese New Year just for the big job in March. As a sensible grandmother, it was impossible for Qin Huai to hold her grandson back at such a critical moment.

Grandma Qin was worried that her grandson would make more and more glutinous rice balls, and the relatives who came to visit her would become less and less close. By the eleventh day of the first lunar month, it would be her brothers and sisters who would come to visit her.

If they continue at this rate, won't that be a bargain for them?
Grandma Qin felt that she couldn't go on like this, and she had to adjust her thinking about the New Year and mobilize the relatives who were still free after the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Qin Huai's eldest uncle and third uncle are very free and are still living in Qin's house and have not returned yet.

The children of my eldest uncle and third uncle are very filial. They know that my father wants to improve his relationship with his sister, so they never urge him. They even want to improve their relationship with their younger sister-in-law and move in.

Every time they see the food their father posts in the group, the children of Qin Huai’s eldest and third uncles especially want to go to Qin’s house to enhance their relationship with their younger aunt.

The Qin family still has a few vacant rooms.

This is the good thing about the countryside: the houses are big and there are many rooms.

After realizing that close relatives were not enough, Grandma Qin held a meeting with Qin Xiuli, Qin Huai's eldest uncle and third uncle at night, asking them to count the relatives who were free to come and enhance the relationship, and have them come on the eleventh day of the first lunar month.

Remember to bring your own bags when you visit, as we don’t have enough bags at home.

It is best to have a legitimate reason to avoid giving others a chance to criticize you.

So on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, many of Qin Huai's close helpers appeared in the kitchen.

Uncles, aunts, uncles, aunts, cousins, and even nephews and nieces.

As there were too many people and not enough jobs, the people who washed dishes, vegetables and cleaned the houses were replaced by trusted relatives. The villagers of Qinjia Village lost their jobs one after another, shouting that the world was unfair and that Grandma Qin was nepotism.

Qin Huai: ...

Okay, they are all relatives whose faces are familiar and whose names I can even call out. They compete to visit me every year to wish me a happy new year, so I can use it with confidence.

As long as it doesn't delay his progress in gaining proficiency, that's fine.

By the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone in the Qin family's relatives knew that Qin Huai had a big event in March.

too exaggerated.

All my relatives who have worked in the kitchen said it was too much.

If their own children had this kind of enthusiasm for studying, they would really dare to say that their children can get into 985 universities.

If that doesn't work, 211 will do.

At the very least, it's still a first-rate book.

Some relatives even brought their children who had not yet taken the college entrance examination to watch from outside the kitchen and educate them on the spot:
"Look at your brother/uncle Qin Huai."

"Do you know why he was able to get into a top university and why he makes such great dim sum?"

“It’s because he works hard!”

"Look at how hard your brother/uncle Qin Huai works making snacks now. He worked even harder when he was studying! You should learn from him, okay?"

Then at this time, the child will be very curious and ask: "What about sister Luoluo?"

"Your sister Luoluo is also writing a paper in the room. Didn't you see? She's so serious!"

Qin Luo, who was writing papers frantically in the room: Her brother clearly made snacks, not papers, so why was he writing her papers?
Qin Luo felt better after taking another look at He Cheng, who was also looking miserable as he was taken into the room to write a paper.

The fourteenth day of the first lunar month, which is also February 2th at 24:5 pm.

Qin Huai felt that he had become a little confused from making the four-happiness dumplings.

Everything looks like a dumpling to him now.

No, I can’t do this anymore. I need to listen to some gossip to calm down.

He had to pull out his cell phone to see if Dong Shi had shared any latest gossip with him.

Qin Huai is not an iron man, so it is impossible for him to make glutinous rice balls without taking a break. In addition to taking a break from making chicken noodle soup, he also takes a break from reading gossip.

Listening takes too long, it’s faster to watch.

Dong Shi is very long-winded when he talks about gossip, but very concise when he types.

After Qin Huai finished stirring the meat filling in his hand, he casually opened the attribute panel to check his proficiency.

The fastest increasing skill these days is the proficiency in preparing stuffing, but that doesn’t mean other skills have not changed.
