Chapter 185: Big Deal (Thanks to Han Fengqing for the reward!)

The next morning, Qin Huai got up late again as expected.

It was a little earlier than the day before, but by the time Qin Huai was clear enough to see the time displayed on his phone, it was already 7:45.

How should I put it, Qin Huai has been a breakfast shop chef for so many years, and after Huang Ji experienced the treatment of a dim sum chef for more than a month, he fell in love with this profession.

Get up late.

Qin Huai made Zheng Siyuan get used to getting up early, but he fell in love with Huang Ji and got up late.

Every time he thought of this, Qin Huai felt from the bottom of his heart that he was really sorry for Zheng Siyuan.

Qin Huai did not announce that he would return to Yunzhong Canteen for normal business this time. The snacks that randomly dropped yesterday also gave many old diners an ominous premonition.

Instead of asking Qin Huai directly in person, everyone asked Huang Xi and Qin Luo directly or indirectly on WeChat. Qin Huai asked the two of them to tell everyone frankly that he would only come back for a few days this time. During these few days, he would make snacks in the cafeteria but it would be unstable.

Currently, the stable breakfast chefs at Yunzhong Canteen are still Chen An and Qin Congwen, and the dim sum chefs are Pei Xing and Li Hua.

I explained in advance that Qin Huai slept until 7:45 without any psychological pressure. He washed up slowly, took out two cheese sticks and two dragon fruits from Luo Jun's house from the refrigerator, and finished eating Then I went out to Yunzhong Canteen.

The old men and women who go for morning jogs are still holding on.

Grandma Ding and her old sisters made an appointment to go for an outing in the countryside yesterday. When they came back, they only caught up with the tail end of dim sum. I came here early this morning, squatting in the cafeteria around 6:30. When I saw Qin Huai coming, I quickly went up to him with a big bag.

"Master Xiao Qin, you have been in Gusu for so long, and now you have time to come back and take a look. I have kept an eye on the good locust nectar for you while you were away. Look, they are all of the best quality. "

"There are three bottles here. If you think the honey is okay, I have 26 bottles at home. I'll get them all for you later!"

Grandma Ding said with a smile on her face.

Qin Huai subconsciously reached out to pick it up.

When he was in Huangji, he didn't make sophora steamed buns very often. Huang Ji’s old customers have fond memories of eating the fermented steamed buns with fermented glutinous rice. Sophora japonica steamed buns and fermented fermented glutinous rice buns were put together and the sales were bleak, and they were not popular.

In addition, it is difficult to find high-quality sophora nectar that meets Qinhuai's requirements. Huang Anyao's ability is limited. Although the quality of the sophora nectar obtained from suppliers is good, it is not as good as that obtained by Grandma Ding. After a long time, Qinhuai basically cannot Making sophora flower steamed buns.

Of course, this is not a problem with Huaihua Steamed Buns, but entirely a problem with Qinhuai’s level.

Sophora japonica steamed buns are an S-level recipe. Qinhuai's limited skill level can only make it to B-level, and he is not very good at understanding the instructional videos yet.

Qin Huai couldn't help but hold his forehead when he thought of this. It was hard for him to tell whether this was his problem or Jiang Chengde's. Jiang Weijin also has two S-level recipes, which are almost S-level but are at least S-level. Qin Huai can understand Jiang Weijin's teaching videos.

When watching, Qin Huai even felt very familiar. Jiang Weijin only had two disciples, and these two disciples had taught Qin Huai. The teaching method of this sect should not be too familiar to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai unscrewed the jar of honey, sniffed it, and looked at the color, but did not taste it. Qin Huai knew that the sophora nectar selected by Grandma Ding must be the best among the best.

"I'm worried that there is no sophora nectar to make sophora japonica steamed buns. Grandma Ding, I can't find such good sophora nectar in Gusu. Thank you for taking the trouble to help me find honey." Qin Huai said with a smile.

Hearing what Qin Huai said, Grandma Ding's smile became even brighter. She seemed to have seen the scene when she was walking in Yunzhong Community this afternoon carrying two large bags of fermented rice buns, and her waist straightened up even more.

"It's a small matter, Master Xiao Qin, you can come to me anytime if you need anything."

Qin Huai stopped talking and went into the dressing room to change clothes and go to the kitchen to make snacks.

Qin Huai plans to make only one snack this morning—sanding buns.

Yesterday's B-grade Sanding Bao gave Qin Huai a great encouragement. Qin Huai has many snacks that can reach the B-level level. Even the previous Sanding Bao was close to B-level, and the daily B-level level, but every kind of dessert They are all different.

Based on Qin Huai's own aesthetics, he feels that his B-level fermented steamed buns are better than B-level sophora flower steamed buns, B-level guoer is almost the same as fermented rice buns, B-level longevity noodles are better than guoer, and yesterday's B-level sanding buns Better than B-grade longevity noodles.

Sophora japonica steamed buns were the worst because Qin Huai had done very little in making sophora japonica steamed buns and had not thoroughly understood this snack.

Qin Huai couldn't understand the video tutorial, so he disliked this snack in his heart. He could not practice it without practicing it when he knew clearly that his level could not produce the desired effect.

In addition, the production of Sophora japonica steamed buns is the most difficult of all snacks. The fermentation method is special, and there are no other similar snacks to refer to. Qin Huai didn't know how to downgrade this S-level recipe in the most reasonable way. As a result, although the Sophora Flower Steamed Buns were B-level, they were not B-level.

Qin Huai makes fermented steamed buns very well. His recipe is Grade B. Qin Huai is absolutely qualified to make fermented steamed buns, but the upper limit is limited.

The grade of the recipe is listed here, as is Qin Wan's craftsmanship. Qin Huai has never seen fermented steamed buns above grade B. Zheng Da's fermented steamed buns are probably 64% better than Qinhuai's, which is slightly better, close to A-level but certainly not A-level.

Zheng Daye also told Qin Huai that when he was working in a state-owned hotel, although he made more steamed buns and steamed buns, he actually hated making such basic snacks. He made a lot of them but was not good at it.

This rejection of Qin Huai is understandable. Zheng Da thinks that his craftsmanship is no worse than Huang Shengli's, and his talent may be slightly better than Huang Shengli's. He wants to become a master chef in a state-owned hotel. But because he was a master chef of the white case, and the white case chef was not taken seriously at that time, and his status was far inferior to that of the red case chef, he failed to become the master chef of the state-owned hotel.

Zheng Da has a grudge in his heart. What he likes and is good at are difficult and niche dim sums, such as crab roe shaomai, crab powder cakes, and lotus cakes. Zheng Da also likes to make Mian Guoer, but the difficulty is too high and it has not been passed down by Jiang Weijin. Zheng Da loves to make really difficult dim sum such as Mian Guoer and Chuan Dian, but he is not very good at it.

Zheng Da doesn't like making basic snacks like steamed buns and steamed buns, even fermented steamed buns.

Of course, just because you don’t like to do it doesn’t mean you won’t do it. According to Zheng Siyuan, Zheng Da must make fermented steamed buns every New Year, because when Jiang Weijin was here, steamed buns with fermented fermented glutinous rice were the staple food on New Year's Eve.

The fermented steamed buns are now Qin Huai's signature snack, and he does them very well, but Qin Huai knows that he doesn't have much room for improvement in this snack.

Because he hasn't seen anything better.

Although it is a bit outrageous to say this, because theoretically, the snacks and dishes produced by a chef can intuitively reflect his current level.

A chef with A-level skills can make A-level dishes, and a chef with S-level skills can make S-level dishes. Now Qin Huai's level is only B level, so the highest level of dim sum made by his own ability can only be B level.

But Qin Huai feels that the level of the recipe is more important to him than his ability.

He really needs to have an excellent case in front of him to let him know what to do and which direction to take.

Before getting the recipe for Sanding Bao, Qin Huai had been making Sanding Bao for many years. These meat-filled buns were Qin Luo's favorite.

Even if Qin's breakfast shop doesn't sell it, Qin Huai will make it every weekend, holiday, New Year's holiday, or when Qin Luo rarely does well in the exam, and once he makes it, he makes a lot of it. He can freeze it in the refrigerator and let Qin Luo eat it once. Eat enough sex.

In terms of the amount of practice, Sanding Bao and Sixi Dumplings are definitely the best in Qinhuai.

But after Qin Huai got hold of the recipe of Jiuniang Mantou, Jiuniang Mantou quickly came from behind and trampled on these two signature snacks.

Now Qin Huai had just found out the recipe for Sanding Bao and tried to make it only once. Sanding Bao put all other snacks under his feet.

Qin Huai realized that he really needed a high-level recipe in front of him, so that he would know how to make a snack better and which direction to work towards.

Qin Huai himself felt that this way of progress was outrageous.

But no matter how outrageous it is, the current Sanding Bao is definitely Qinhuai’s real trump snack. It has no buff, but it is delicious and has huge room for improvement.

The key is, if you can understand the instructional videos, you can practice every day!

Qin Huai was kneading dough, Li Hua and a helper with excellent knife skills were dicing, and An Youyou and another helper were making buns.

As for Pei Xing, he was making snacks while trying to persuade Li Hua to switch with him. He went to cut into cubes and Li Hua came back to make snacks.

Chefs who have worked in the kitchen and have a professional background know that if they want to learn some real skills from a master chef, the first thing they have to do is to help the master diligently.

Pei Xing and Li Hua originally thought that they would be able to sleep peacefully when they returned to their hometown this time, but now they discovered that they actually really love to study.

Two pastry chefs are competing to be a helper. The only named helper, An Youyou, is thinking about whether she should practice knife skills instead of kneading dough and mixing stuffing.

An Youyou didn't understand why Pei Xing and Li Hua were competing for dicing, but An Youyou knew that Pei Xing and Li Hua had high wages.

The salary of the pastry chef is more than twice that of the breakfast chef.

Unbeknownst to Qin Huai, the pastry chef and helpers in the cafeteria were rolled up.

Qin Huai didn't think so much. He simply felt that the community cafeteria was different from the big restaurant.

Pei Xing and Li Hua were both introduced by Zheng Da, and they are both very good at craftsmanship.

But other helpers recruited by the cafeteria themselves are much inferior. Hutchison's helpers are not at the same level at all.

Every one of Huang Ji's helpers can be said to be reserve chefs.

Especially those who work for Qin Huai are the best among the best. Qin Huai was in Huang Ji, and Huang Jia ordered Wang Jun to help him specifically.

Wang Jun was not a very good chef in Huang Ji. He was not even a stove cook, so he could only cook when Qin Huai was away. But no matter how bad Wang Jun is, he is still a direct disciple of Huang Shengli. He can only perform tricks in Huangji because Huangji has high requirements. In an ordinary restaurant, he can become a master with the title of a direct disciple of a famous master. The helpers at Yunzhong Canteen are just helpers.

Otherwise, Qin Huai would not be short of people enough to ask Li Hua to help with the dicing.

Qin Huai felt a little embarrassed when he said this to let the high-paid pastry chef in the cafeteria do this kind of help. Fortunately, Li Hua had a good temper and was very enthusiastic, so he readily agreed.

Qin Huai rubbed his face melancholy.

Is this what it feels like to work in a big factory?

He had only been back to Yunzhong Canteen for two days, but he already started to miss Huang Ji.

The guests waiting for the steamed buns in the lobby certainly didn't know that their chef Xiao Qin had already returned to Yunzhong Canteen, but they were still thinking about other restaurants.

Everyone was just waiting for the buns with great anticipation.

Some people are waiting in the lobby, and some are waiting at their workstations.

Qin Huai didn't arrive at Yunzhong Canteen until 8 o'clock. Office workers definitely couldn't eat hot sandwich buns before going to work. But today, Qin Huai made up his mind to practice Sanding Bao. He would make Sanding Bao in batches as if he were working at Huangji, steaming the kitchen until the steam was like a fairyland in the clouds, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to buy it.

With Qin Huai unilaterally guaranteeing that Sanding Bao will be sold until the end of business hours at noon, many office workers can safely buy the buns made by Qin Congwen and Chen An and go to work happily.

A few people who really want to eat tight and don't want to waste their stomachs buy a cup of soy milk first, go to work hungry, and wait for the buns to come out of the pot to buy them together.

Today's single-fighting group is destined to be very lively.

At 9:19 in the morning, the first batch of steamed buns came out of the pot.

Neighbors who don't have to go to work all consciously line up to buy, trying to bargain while buying and returning.

"Xiao Chu, we have known each other for several months. Your uncle and I buy buns in your cafeteria every morning. We are all on our own. The purchase limit of 5 is really not enough to eat. There is more than one mouth in my family. 15 Okay? 15!”

"Uncle Zhang, this first batch of steamed buns are in short supply. Please buy 5 first. If there is not enough food, wait for the next batch. They are steaming in the kitchen. Your 5 Sanding buns will be next."

Uncle Zhang returned home in vain.

Uncle Li squeezed to the window: "Xiao Chu, you know the situation at Uncle Li's house. My grandson didn't eat breakfast this morning, so he was counting on me to deliver steamed buns to him. Teenagers have a big appetite, 5 One bun is not enough to eat!”

"Uncle Li, you already used this excuse yesterday. Yesterday was even Sunday and you forgot to make it up. Your buns are next."

Uncle Li was retreating steadily.

Grandma Ding was all smiles: "Xiao Chu..."

"Grandma Ding, Master Xiao Qin asked me to tell you that he has to make Sanding buns this morning and doesn't have time to make fermented steamed buns. Your steamed buns may not be available until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. He knows that you have many grandchildren. It’s not enough. Is one drawer enough?”

Grandma Ding immediately forgot what excuse she had just made up and nodded repeatedly: "That's enough, Xiao Qin is so polite."

At this moment, there was only one sentence in Grandma Ding’s mind:

This afternoon, she slipped away!

The battle was fierce in the cafeteria, and the fight in the single-player group was no less intense.

The order-making group that had been dormant for more than a month became active again, and the messages were refreshed so fast that the old phone of a waiter who did not want to be named almost crashed.

Huang Xi could only answer questions in the group, repeatedly sending messages to confirm whether there were any missing orders, and at the same time, he had to order people to deliver orders, confirm the quantity of three-packs with the kitchen, and check the accounts for verification of write-offs and receipts in a timely manner. He was so busy that he never touched the ground. Finally, for convenience, we stood directly at the door of the kitchen to make overall plans.

Qin Huai felt that this scene was very familiar.

When the fermented steamed buns had just become popular in Huangji, and regular diners were panic-buying because they were afraid of finishing their last meal, and there was an endless stream of errand boys, this is how the foreman of Huangji stood in the back kitchen.

Qin Huai:…

Why did he suddenly have some ominous premonitions?

No, Yunzhong Canteen is his main battlefield. Qin Huai knows the customers very well, so he shouldn't be as popular as Huang Ji.

Not to mention that Qin Huai is not fighting alone today. He is a master with 6 helpers!

Yes, Qin Huai got an extra helper after the first batch of steamed buns came out.

The unprofessional helpers worked too slowly and couldn't make the buns fast enough. Zhao Rong also joined the ranks of making buns. Chen An was demoted from the breakfast chef to direct the helpers, taking care of both steaming and making buns.

The buns come out in batches and are sold out quickly.

All are takeout orders.

The waiters carried the foam boxes directly to deliver the food.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Qin Huai saw the familiar errand boy in the cafeteria.

What is familiar is not the errand boy's name, but this person.

Qin Huai thought he had a pretty good memory. If he remembered correctly, this errand boy used to run the special line from Yunzhong Canteen to the hospital where Qu Jing worked.

Qin Huai suddenly had an ominous premonition.

He asked Pei Xing to help look at the stuffing cooked in several pots. He walked to the window, stuck his head out and asked, "Hospital?"

"That's right, Master Xiao Qin, I was wondering why I suddenly received so many errand orders to come to Yunzhong Canteen to buy three-packs. It turns out you are back!" the little brother said cheerfully.

Qin Huai: "How many are there?"

"It's similar to the original tangerine peel tea. It's already sold out. Many brothers are rushing to your side. I happen to be nearby."

"When will the next batch of steamed buns be ready? Look at my list, orthopedics, neurology, neurosurgery, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, emergency department...as well as the inpatient department, security guards, canteen..."

"Are the people in the hospital cafeteria also buying buns to eat outside?"

Qin Huai also wanted to ask, why do people in your hospital cafeteria buy buns to eat outside?

There are also orthopedics, neurology, neurosurgery, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, emergency departments, inpatient departments, and door guards and security guards. Have you ever eaten three-packs?

Did you know that the 3-Ding Bao we had before at Yunzhong Canteen was not as delicious as the 5-Ding Bao?

Didn’t you all drink tangerine peel tea before?

Who leaked the news?

It's 11 o'clock at noon. What kind of steamed buns can you eat when you have nothing to do?

He plans to get off work on time at 1 o'clock!

Qin Huai went back silently and glanced at Pei Xing, who was still making shortcakes.

"Um... Pei Xing, I have a merciless request."

"Master Xiao Qin, tell me!"

"The diced buns may be out of stock today and I'm busy. Can you help cut them too..." Before Qin Huai finished speaking, Pei Xing had already flashed to the dicing team and picked up the kitchen knife.

Qin Huai:…

Do you like diced food so much?

Not even finished kneading the dough.

Qin Huai glanced at the dough on the chopping board, took over, and continued kneading.

Li Hua was there to help cook the stuffing and watch the heat.

Qin Huai believed that Li Hua's level was definitely better than his.

He has confidence in chefs with professional backgrounds.
