The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 371 Good Brothers

On the morning of the second day, Zheng Siyuan, Zang Liang and Tan Weian all took leave and were absent from work for the whole morning. The reason for their leave was to go to the amusement park to eat the shaved ice that they had not had yesterday.

In response to this, Qin Huai said:?
Is it really that delicious? Why didn’t he notice it when he ate it yesterday? He thought it was just normal shaved ice and very expensive.

No wonder that store dares to sell at this price in the amusement park, it seems that it must have its unique features.

Even though the Yunzhong Canteen lost two pastry chefs and the main persons in charge of employee meals in the morning, diners still flocked to the restaurant and lined up frantically. The errand boys lined up all the way from the canteen entrance to the corner of the street. Office workers in nearby office buildings took two hours off and waited in line while writing reports on their mobile phones.

I can’t express how much I want to try Chef Qin’s new creations.

Xiao Qin did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He worked hard all morning and made sure there was enough crab roe and pork dumplings. Xiao Qin was in charge of everything from frying the stuffing, kneading the dough, wrapping the dumplings to steaming them, ensuring that every wrinkle on the dumplings was made by Xiao Qin himself.

Qin Huai's speed in making dim sum is obvious to everyone. This is something he learned when he was a child working in a breakfast shop. His main focus is to race against time, serve large quantities to satisfy your hunger, and serve as quickly as possible.

Chef Qin, who has a full supply, and the special crab roe pork buns that have not yet been priced for practice, have almost driven new and old diners crazy.

People even felt that if they didn't buy it now, it would be too late.

So much so that Huang Xi, who originally thought that there was no need to limit the quantity of steamed buns, had to urgently introduce a purchase limit policy, stipulating that each person can only buy 5 steamed buns at a time.

Even if you are a shopping agent, you can only buy 5 at a time. As for whether there will be scalpers who queue up to resell the buns...

Huang Xi could only say that the uncles and aunts in Yunzhong Canteen were not vegetarians. If they were just running errands to take orders, they could turn a blind eye. But if there were really scalpers reselling, the uncles and aunts would definitely strike hard and enforce justice.

Are you kidding? We don’t even have enough to eat ourselves, and you’re still reselling it. What are you thinking?

This was the scene that Zang Liang, Tan Weian and Zheng Siyuan saw when they returned from the amusement park at noon.

Even though he had seen it once yesterday, Zang Liang was still stunned.

"Every time Qinhuai releases a new product... is it always like this?" Zang Liang was so stunned that his jaw almost dislocated.

"You'll get used to it." Tan Weian said, "Brother, you haven't seen much of the world yet. You should have heard about Huang's business last year. Ever since Master Huang's back injury recurred, business has been slow. Guess what happened after Qin Huai went there? Huang's business instantly came back to life, especially after Huang's business was featured on Taste, it almost became an online celebrity."

"At that time, whenever people mentioned dim sum, the first thing that came to mind was Huang Ji. People who didn't know would think that Huang Ji was a plain-dining restaurant, and that Zhiweiju sold stir-fried dishes."

Zang Liang tightened his nearly dislocated jaw and began to count how many customers were lined up at the door. He even looked like he wanted to estimate the current customer flow of Yunzhong Canteen.

"I know that Huang Ji's business was very good after New Year's Day. My master and I went to Huang Ji to queue up for fruit." Zang Liang said as he counted, "At that time, we shared a table, and we also got together with Master Liu from Zhiweiju. He also went there secretly."

Tan Weian:?

"Master Liu went there secretly?! Last time I asked him, he said he hadn't come yet. I said, I think I saw him!"

"But... Huang Ji is Huang Ji, and Yunzhong Canteen is Yunzhong Canteen." Zang Liang exclaimed in a shocked voice, "In Huang Ji, everyone knows what level Qin Huai is. He is Chef Qin who appeared on "Taste". He is a well-deserved master chef. Huang Ji is originally a high-end restaurant. Whether it is the price of dishes, decoration or taste, diners have already..."

"Zheng Siyuan was different when he was at Huang's and when he was at his own pastry shop!"

"When he had his own pastry shop, wasn't he just Master Zheng who sold pastries at the entrance of a residential area?"

Because he had eaten two bowls of shaved ice and still didn't understand anything, the emo Zheng Siyuan looked at Zang Liang coldly, which frightened Zang Liang so much that he shrank his neck. For some reason, he always felt that he saw murderous intent in Zheng Siyuan's eyes.

"That's different." Zheng Siyuan said.

"Even if the customers around here don't know how powerful Qinhuai is, it's surprising that a dim sum chef with such superb skills is willing to stay in a community canteen to sell these dim sum that seem expensive but are actually affordable."

“But they have a sense of taste and a love of dim sum.”

“The love and support from our guests is priceless.”

Zheng Siyuan glanced at Zang Liang and said, "The sense of accomplishment you get from these guests is greater than that you get from working in a high-end restaurant. If you don't believe me, you can open a small stir-fry restaurant at the entrance of your community."

Zang Liang blurted out, "That won't do. At least the dim sum made by Qinhuai is large in quantity and filling, and we can make a lot of money if we sell it at a lower price. What I make here are all Huaiyang dishes. If I sell it at a lower price, how can I make money? I was hoping to make a fortune with my craft and open a high-end restaurant of my own."

Tan Weian:?

Buddy, do you still have such ambition?
"But were the buns Qin Huai made yesterday so delicious?" Zang Liang smacked his lips, as if he wanted to reminisce the taste of the buns he ate yesterday. "I don't remember what happened after I got off the roller coaster yesterday. I remember that bun, didn't I vomit not long after I ate it?"

Tan Weian nodded affirmatively: "You vomited. When you vomited, Ouyang just came back from buying medicine. He was shocked to see you vomiting after eating the buns. He thought the buns were so unpalatable that you vomited."

Zang Liang was shocked: "There is such a thing?"

Zheng Siyuan no longer wanted to pay attention to these two people. They had not been acting normally since they rode the roller coaster yesterday.

Zheng Siyuan walked around the crowd and went straight into the dressing room, changed his clothes, and went into the kitchen. At Ouyang's exclusive dining table, he saw Qin Huai and Shi Dadan eating buns. The two were eating buns while video chatting with Cao Guixiang.

Because Ouyang's own dining seat was occupied, he moved a small stool and sat in the corner to eat, enjoying his meal very much.

There were three plates of stacked buns in front of Qin Huai and Shi Dadan, three full plates in total. It looked amazing. If you didn’t know, you would think it was a big eater competition.

Qin Huai's condition was relatively normal. He held the bun in his left hand and ate it slowly while chatting with Cao Guixiang, neither hurried nor slow.

Shi Dadan was in a complete big eater speed eating challenge, he couldn't stop eating one thing after another, he didn't even have time to talk, he could only nod and make "hmm" sounds from time to time.

Those who don’t know might think Qin Huai is the referee of this challenge.

"So, Xiao Qin, you chatted with Lao Shi for a while, had a bowl of shaved ice, and then ate the fillings until you were full, and then you realized it." Cao Guixiang on the other end of the video was also eating, holding her bowl and talking and laughing, "So Lao Shi has made an indispensable contribution. Fortunately, he caught two good fish, but he insisted that mailing it was not safe, so he had to personally fly it to you, otherwise you wouldn't be chatting about this."

Shi Dadan nodded frantically.

"I have to thank Old Shi." Qin Huai nodded sincerely, not only because Shi Dadan gave him that key memory, but also because of Shi Dadan's last words. If he only looked at the memory, Qin Huai would not be able to find the correct idea so quickly and understand the true meaning of the filling. "Master, do you think there is anything wrong with my current method?" Qin Huai asked.

"I don't think there's any problem." Cao Guixiang held the bowl, "I've seen the recipe for the double crab buns, and I also watched how you made the crab roe pork buns this morning. It's the same idea and the same method."

"Of course, there are definitely better ways, but you can't do it at your current level. You have already thought of the best solution that you can accomplish with your current ability."

Shi Dadan continued to nod frantically, regardless of what Cao Guixiang said, he just nodded.

Qin Huai grasped the key words.

“You know there’s a better way.”

Cao Guixiang's smile froze. She pretended that the rice in the bowl was delicious. She picked up the bowl and lowered her head to eat, covering her face.

"You already knew how to make the Double Crab Buns, and you also knew that there was something wrong with my previous thinking, but you never told me."

"Is it Master?"

Facing Qin Huai's questioning, Cao Guixiang lowered her head and ate two more mouthfuls of rice before pretending that she really wanted to eat, put down the bowl and smiled: "It's like this."

"But I definitely didn't mean to not say it. The main reason is that in many cases, the master's teaching and the apprentice's self-realization are two different feelings, two different states, and two different gains."

"Look, you've figured it out yourself now, don't you feel good? But if I had told you directly last week when you first encountered difficulties and reached a dead end, you wouldn't have the feeling and gains you have now."

As Cao Guixiang said this, there was a hint of guilt on her face, a hint of guilt that a master clearly knew the problem his apprentice had, but waited and watched his apprentice hit the wall a few times, wanting to see how the apprentice hit the wall.

"Of course, if you are stuck on this problem for a long time, such as a month, two months, or even July or August, and still haven't figured it out, then I can't just sit there and do nothing. I have to remind you or teach you directly."

"The main reason is that I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly. Lao Shi went over and talked with you and he understood it. When did you eat similar buns, Lao Shi?" Cao Guixiang asked curiously.

When Cao Guixiang asked this question, Shi Dadan had just swallowed the last bite of bun, and his mouth was free and he had time to speak.

"I ate it once when I was running a restaurant in Gusu. I was always traveling around at that time, didn't I? You know."

Cao Guixiang nodded and continued to ask Qin Huai: "So Huai Huai, when do you plan to start making double crab buns?"

"I'll make it when Zheng Siyuan and the others come back. They went to the amusement park this morning." Qin Huai took a bite of the bun, "I can make the crab roe pork buns by myself, but the double crab buns must have their help."

"With my current level, neither the processing of sea cucumbers nor the frying of stuffing can meet the requirements of double crab buns. Since they are not here this morning, I will make some crab meat buns to practice, and then start making double crab buns when they come back in the afternoon."

As soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, Zheng Siyuan stood behind him and said, "We are back."

Qin Huai turned around in surprise: "You guys are back so early. The amusement park is quite far away. I thought you would be back in the afternoon. Hey, where are Zang Liang and Tan Weian? Why are you the only one back?"

"They are counting heads outside," Zheng Siyuan said expressionlessly, "Don't worry about them, they will come in after they finish counting."

"I'll go knead the dough first."

"Hey, don't you want to eat some buns?"

"No, I've had tangyuan at the shaved ice shop."

Qin Huai:?
Are the glutinous rice balls from that shaved ice shop so delicious? Aren’t they just ordinary quick-frozen glutinous rice balls?
What's so good about it? No, he'll have to go to the amusement park next time.

Zheng Siyuan had gone to knead the dough, and Qin Huai felt embarrassed to be idle, so he quickly finished his buns and went back to fry another pot of stuffing for the last batch of crab roe and pork buns, waiting for Zang Liang and Tan Weian to finish counting outside and come back to work.

Yes, Tan Weian also has to go to work.

As Tan Weian was an important member of the Double Crab Bag research team, Qin Huai felt that it was a bit unfair to ask Tan Weian to provide the recipe alone. No matter what, Tan Weian had to have some sense of participation.

Tan Weian even gave us the prescription. If he didn't learn anything and it didn't play any role in this research, wouldn't that be treating him as a relative?

Even if he really is a relative, he can't be such a relative.

Qin Huai had arranged Tan Weian's work, which was to process sea cucumbers.

Zheng Siyuan's job is to season the sea cucumbers and knead the dough on his behalf, Zang Liang's job is to make crab sauce and stir-fry the stuffing, and Qin Huai is responsible for the most critical overall seasoning and kneading the dough.

If you want to make the double crab bun the best, you must use the sea cucumber processed by Zheng Siyuan + the crab roe sauce and fried stuffing processed by Zang Liang + Qinhuai's overall seasoning and dough.

If the requirements are not so high and you just want to make it, there are many steps that can be replaced by others. Zheng Siyuan can randomly insert any step except the overall seasoning until he learns the overall seasoning and can make the double crab buns independently.

Zang Liang and Tan Weian counted the number of people for a quarter of an hour. The two of them might not have been very clear-headed these past two days, and they actually stood outside the Yunzhong Canteen to count the number of customers. However, since the two of them together could not make up a university degree, they could not come up with anything after counting for a long time, and they were hungry, so they could only go in to find food.

Then Qin Huai stuffed a few buns into each of their hands and told them to go to their workstations and start working quickly.

Zang Liang started working with the bun in his mouth. He poured the crab roe sauce into the pot before taking the first bite and then sighed.

"Fuck, this crab meat bun made by Qin Huai is really delicious. After taking a bite, I remembered how I pinned Tan Weian to the ground and beat him when I was a kid."

Qin Huai:......

Aren't you two good brothers? What's going on? I know you have a good relationship, so good that you even got buffs, but why are all the clips you recall of you pinning each other to the ground and beating each other?
No wonder you two can be such good brothers.

One is practicing red case and the other is practicing white case, red and white PK, right?
