The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 4 Procurement
After lunch, Chen Huihong sent Chen Huihui home to rest. Zhao Rong felt that the house was not cleaned properly because there would be guests in the evening, so she took Qin Congwen back to clean it again. Qin Huai and Qin Luo went to the supermarket on the underground first floor of the mall to buy food. Ouyang, who had more than an hour to go to work, had nothing to do, so he also went to buy food.

The supermarket on the underground first floor is a huge commercial center. The fresh food section is as well-stocked as that in a vegetable market. Of course, the prices are also very varied. Qin Luo, who rarely buys vegetables and doesn't know the prices, was confused.

“荔枝…128一盒？一盒有…1、2、3…9颗，哥，这个超市的荔枝卖14块钱一颗！”秦落惊了。

Qin Huai didn't buy lychees, nor did he look at them. He picked spinach in the nearby vegetable section. Don't mention it, although the prices in this supermarket are expensive, the quality control is good. You can pick fresh spinach at noon, which is much better than the vegetable market at the back door of my hometown community where you can buy all kinds of rotten vegetables that the vendors give you overnight after 8 am.

But the food in the vegetable market is cheaper and you can bargain, so there are pros and cons.

"Brother, what do lychees taste like when they cost 14 yuan each?" Qin Luo was still staring at the lychees.

"You don't understand this. This is the same kind of lychees that Yang Guifei ate back then, of course it's expensive. With the blessing of a celebrity, it tastes the same as the lychees you eat at home that cost 8 yuan per pound." Qin Huai said.

Qin Luo suddenly realized and continued to stare at the litchi.

Standing between Qin Huai and Qin Luo, Ouyang, who didn't know how to pick food but liked to join in the fun: ...

No, Luoluo really trusts her brother? The category of that lychee is clearly green, and it is clearly written on the label that it is a special promotion at 128 per box. Can't you see the word "promotion" on it?
Of course, Ouyang chose not to say it, after all, he wanted to eat crab shell roe in the future.

He just did a search on the Internet and found that the crab shell yellow has salty fillings such as scallion oil, fresh meat, crab roe, and shrimp, as well as sweet fillings such as white sugar, rose, bean paste, and jujube paste. It is a baked shortbread.

That picture, golden and crispy, sprinkled with white sesame seeds.

If it's freshly baked, take a bite while it's still hot...

Slip!

I dare not even imagine the taste!
Ouyang grabbed the live shrimp he had just picked.

He picked these shrimps one by one. They are big and lively, and look fresh at first glance. The most important thing is that this kind of shrimp is the most expensive among the four or five kinds of shrimp in the aquatic area, so the crab shell yellow made from it must be delicious!
Qin Huai is so smart, he will definitely understand his hint!

"Qin Huai, Luo Luo really listens to you. She believes any nonsense you say." Ouyang could only walk to Qin Huai and sigh silently.

After hearing what Ouyang said, Qin Huai put the selected spinach into the bag and nodded in agreement: "That's right."

With so many adults in the family brainwashing Qin Luo for many years, it is impossible that there is no effect at all.

Speaking of brainwashing, sometimes Qin Huai himself finds it outrageous.

Qin Congwen was not the only one who had been childless for many years. Qin Congwen's sister Qin Xiuli had also been married for many years and had been unable to have a child. With both siblings in this situation, outsiders would inevitably suspect that they were sick. Even Grandma Qin herself suspected that she had hurt her body by working too hard when she was young, which led to the poor health of the two children. She had been trapped in internal friction and self-blame for many years.

I can't even raise my head when I go out.

As a result, less than half a year after Qin Congwen adopted Qin Huai, Zhao Rong became pregnant.

Qin Luo was not born yet, but Qin Xiuli was pregnant.

That year, Old Lady Qin wanted to hold a loudspeaker and shout from one end of the village to the other every morning to express all the anger she had endured over the past ten years.

According to the Qin family, the couple had been childless for many years and suddenly became pregnant after adopting a child. It was the adopted son's destiny to have a younger sibling, and the child was brought by the adopted son. Mr. Qin believed this statement so much that he even spent a huge sum of 5 yuan to hire a fortune teller to do the calculation.

For the sake of 5 yuan plus a meal, the fortune teller calculated that Qin Huai was destined to have a younger sister and a younger brother.

Two months later, Qin Luo was born.

A few months later, Qin Huai and Qin Luo's cousin He Cheng was born.

Since then, Qin Huai became famous overnight and became a well-known local expert in treating infertility.

Later, Qin Xiuli wanted to have another daughter, and kept trying to find the fortune teller and ask him to calculate whether Qin Huai had a cousin in his life. However, to no avail, she could only sigh every day as she looked at her unlucky son who had failed math since childhood.

When Qin Huai was in high school, he seriously thought about whether his system, which had never been activated, was a gynecology and obstetrics master system. When he applied for college entrance examination, he even hesitated whether to sacrifice his hair to study medicine.

Later I was not admitted because of insufficient points.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai was a little disappointed.

No matter how you think about it, the doctor system is more advanced than this cooking system.

If I give up science and become a great doctor, it might be a good story in the local area a hundred years later. "Alas." Qin Huai sighed.

Ouyang's expression tensed, thinking that Qin Huai was staring at the shrimp in his hand and sighing, and asked quickly: "Did I pick the wrong shrimp?"

"Can this kind of shrimp only be used for cooking and not as fillings for snacks? Qin Huai, let me ask you, what kind of shrimp is generally used for crab shell yellow fresh shrimp filling? My mother is planning to learn it recently."

Ouyang felt that his statement was sufficient.

"Shrimp? Isn't crab shell yellow stuffed with meat? Fresh shrimp... I don't know." Qin Huai looked at the shrimp in Ouyang's hand, "Ouyang, did you buy these shrimp for your mother? Your shrimp is good. I'll go pick some later and stuff the wontons with fresh shrimp stuffing tonight."

"Please help me get the spinach first. I'll go pick some hind leg meat." After saying that, Qin Huai went straight to the fresh meat section, leaving Ouyang in the vegetable section, frantically searching on his phone to see if there was any crab shell yellow with fresh shrimp filling.

He hinted so obviously, but Qin Huai didn't get it at all!
"Brother Ouyang, my brother doesn't know how to make crab shell yellow stuffed with fresh shrimp." Qin Luo, who had already finished looking at the lychee and felt that Ouyang was implying that his level was too low to be hidden, walked towards Ouyang, "If you want to eat it, you have to tell him, and he will find a recipe online to learn it."

“Looking for recipes online?”

"Yes." Qin Luo nodded as if it was normal. "It was always like this before. I would tell my brother what kind of snacks I wanted to eat, and he would look up the recipes at home or search online. After a while, I would learn it."

Ouyang was confused: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be taught by the master step by step?"

"They are all unique secret recipes, inherited from family and passed down from one school of thought. That's what's written in novels. Are the recipes on the Internet reliable?"

Qin Luo didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "My brother said... some are reliable, some are not so good, but if they are not good, just change them."

"My dad said that the skill of making steamed buns is innate. He has been selling steamed buns for 20 to 30 years, but they are still not as delicious as the ones my brother used to help make at home when he was in junior high school."

"It could also be that my brother had practiced basic skills in the orphanage before and had a good foundation. My brother said that he had been making all the buns in the orphanage since he was in fourth grade."

Ouyang was even more confused. He had always thought that Qin Huai had a family tradition of learning, and that their bun shop was the legendary hermit school. Qin Congwen was the 13th generation successor of xx buns.

He had been looking forward to it for a long time. Ever since Qin Congwen came, he had been thinking about how to start the conversation and let his uncle show off his skills to everyone.

As a result, Qin Luo told him that Qin Huai was completely self-taught.

"My brother's grades were average when he was in high school, just a little better than mine... maybe. At that time, my third aunt and eldest uncle both persuaded my parents to send my brother to another place to learn a craft. I think there was a place in Hangzhou where masters were looking for apprentices. My eldest uncle could find someone to use his connections to send him there. When he finished his studies, maybe my family's bun shop could be turned into a dim sum restaurant."

“But I didn’t go there later.”

As he was speaking, Qin Huai came back after picking out the meat and shrimp. In his left hand were the hind leg meat and live shrimp, in his right hand were the pork belly and pork belly, and on his little finger was a small bag of fat.

"Wow, buy so much." Ouyang exclaimed.

"It's used to make minced meat." Qin Huai explained, raising his left hand, "The most important thing about Four Happiness Dumplings is minced meat."

Seeing that Ouyang didn't seem to understand, Qin Huai explained in more detail: "Generally speaking, hind leg meat is used as dumpling filling, and sandwich meat is used as bun filling. Hind leg meat is firm and has few tendons, so it tastes good."

"But Luoluo's taste is quite special. This girl likes to eat tender and smooth meat fillings, preferably fatter, the kind that can ooze out oil when bitten."

"If it wasn't so bad, she would have wanted to put the stuffing into dumplings."

"So I'm going to make two kinds of dumpling fillings today. One is pure hind leg meat, and the other is a mixture of three layers and fillings, with a little extra fat. If you can't get used to it, you can eat the first kind of filling. I'll steam the two separately when the time comes."

Ouyang was stunned when he heard this.

I didn't understand it, but it looked delicious.

After thinking it over, Ouyang gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, looked at Qin Huai, and said firmly: "Brother!"

"Brother Huai, you are my brother, I want to eat crab shell yellow stuffed with fresh shrimp!"

Qin Huai:......

"roll!"
