Chapter 199 I really admire your Huang Ji’s guest

The good thing about having a new roommate in the house is that you eat fruit much faster.

There was no way, Gong Liang gave him too much, and the cleaning aunt changed the fruits so frequently that Qin Huai felt stressed every time he saw the fruits in the fruit plate when he came home.

He was afraid that if he ate any slower, the cleaning lady's fruit shop would open.

On the first day Ouyang moved in, Qin Huai decided to take Ouyang to Huangji to see the world -

Eat a real Xiao Zao.

In fact, it’s Huang Ji’s breakfast, Qin Huai’s longevity noodles and Zheng Siyuan’s wontons.

After all, Ouyang was not an employee of Huangji. It was against the rules to enter the back kitchen. Qin Huai asked Ouyang to stay at home or wander around to see if there was anything he needed to buy. He would send a message to Ouyang when the longevity noodles were almost ready. Let him pass.

Squatting at the door of the kitchen to eat.

This is Huang Ji's hidden way of eating. The last person who ate at the door of the kitchen was Gong Liang.

Speaking of Gong Liang, Qin Huai checked Moments for a while before joining Huangji.

Gong Liang was still eating happily in Fenyuan and not thinking about Shu.

Every day at meal time, he would post photos. The photos were probably taken by his daughter. The dishes were so beautiful that Qin Huai was so greedy that he wanted to spend huge sums of money to make a reservation at Fenyuan and go to Peiping to taste the cooking skills of the legendary number one Chinese food expert in active service. How good can it be.

In Huang Ji's kitchen, Zheng Siyuan has already started making wontons.

It's like this every day. Zheng Siyuan comes early and leaves early. In addition to making snacks, he also makes snacks. Zheng Siyuan didn't talk much to his colleagues in Huang Ji's kitchen during work. The one he communicated with the most on weekdays was Qin Huai.

Today, it was rare for Zheng Siyuan to take the initiative to speak.

"You are going to be famous." Zheng Siyuan said.

"Ah?" Qin Huai stopped pouring flour with his hand and almost covered himself with flour. "I feel like... I'm not a novice with no reputation, right?"

To be honest, Qin Huai feels that he has become much more famous after coming to Suzhou.

Although he has not participated in any academic exchange meetings in the industry, Qin Huai feels that he is at least somewhat famous in the industry, if not famous.

If you ask around in Gusu, no one will know about Huang Ji's Master Qin.

As for the academic exchange meeting... Huang Anyao suggested that Qin Huai not participate.

It's boring. Except for the exchange meetings hosted by Zhiweiju, the other dishes are not delicious. Huang Shengli never participates and is sent to make up the numbers. He can't listen and understand, and can't eat well. It's simply a chore.

In Huang Anyao's words, only Zheng Da likes to go to this kind of academic exchange meeting. Because not all the people who go to the exchange meeting are chefs, there are also **** like him and some restaurant owners.

Zheng Da is in the snack business, and he basically goes to academic exchange meetings to promote and distribute goods.

"That's not what I said." Zheng Siyuan stopped making wontons, washed his hands, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and clicked on Xu Cheng's Weibo to show Qin Huai.

Qin Huai glanced at it and found that Zheng Siyuan had been following Xu Cheng's Weibo for 611 days.

By the way, Xu Cheng’s Weibo account has been open for 611 days.

Xu Cheng posted a Weibo message at 3:21 last night. The content is very long and contains a lot of nonsense. It probably means that I ate too many snacks during the day and couldn’t sleep at night. I just had to write a food review again, so I was full of ideas and wrote it in one go until 3 o’clock. I feel that I am really dedicated. I will start next year’s review. The big issue of the year will definitely not delay the manuscript.

Overall, this is a bragging tweet.

But it is worth noting that Xu Cheng paired several pictures with this Weibo post, and the pictures showed snacks made by Qin Huai. The plate on which the snacks are served is an exclusive dinner plate specially made by Huang Kee. It has Huang Kee's logo on it. It is very large and difficult to ignore.

It's hard not to suspect that Xu Cheng sent a Weibo post to advertise to Huang Ji.

The comment section of this Weibo is also very exciting. They are all fans of Qin Huai. The enthusiastic people from the Suzhou area who ride bicycles to grab buns and steamed buns at noon every day are very enthusiastic.

[Mr. Xu really has good taste, Master Qin has only been here at Huangji for more than a month and he was discovered by you!

—Faithful believer in Jiuniang Mantou]

[Will it be more difficult for me to buy snacks in the future? No, no [crying loudly] [crying loudly] [crying loudly]

—Damn the boss deducted 50 yuan from me for being late for one minute]

[Huang Ji has a new Bai An master. Doesn’t Huang Ji have no Bai An?

—Which company has the best mining technology?

Qin Huai also saw Zheng Siyuan's own comments.

[Master Qin’s dim sum is delicious and worth recommending.

—Zheng (Lian Da Fan Lao version)]

Qin Huai really wanted to persuade Zheng Siyuan to stop practicing. We are chefs in the white case, and there is no need to hang ourselves on the red case tree.

But Zheng Siyuan sent positive comments to himself under his real name...

Practice, good brother, I will cook you two bowls of longevity noodles today!

Qin Huai returned the phone to Zheng Siyuan: "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to post a special Weibo post advertising it."

Zheng Siyuan took a deep look at Qin Huai and knew that Qin Huai had not yet realized what Xu Cheng's Weibo meant.

Qin Huai:?

"Do you still remember the scene two days before you came to Huangji?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

Qin Huai said that of course he remembered that at that time, Huang Ji's regular diners thought that Zheng Da had been captured by Huang Shengli to work, so they bought snacks in a famine-graining manner, for fear that they would not finish the meal.

At that time, Qin Huai had just come to Huangji. He was not used to such high-intensity work, and he was not as good at assigning work to helpers as he is now. Qin Huai almost died from exhaustion in Huang Ji when he made those snacks.

"I had no experience at that time, but now I can keep up even if the purchase volume increases by 30%." Qin Huai knew what Zheng Siyuan wanted to say and said confidently.

He is no longer the Qin Huai he was before. He is the Qin Huai who trained in Huangji for a month and then went back to Yunzhong Canteen for another four days of training.

Now, even if he goes back to his hometown in Qiu County to make steamed buns during the New Year, it will be worthwhile!

"Before Huang Ji appeared on "Zhiwei", there were no limited business hours." Zheng Siyuan suddenly began to tell the story, "At that time, my uncle, relying on his youth and good health, felt that it was not easy for customers to come all the way, so he was willing to come to Huang Ji Remembering to eat is to give Huang Ji face, and he will be treated no matter how late he is. "

"Then Huang Ji appeared on "Zhiwei"."

"My uncle persisted for a week, but he couldn't hold on any longer, so he changed the business hours, so he didn't end up in the hospital due to overwork."

"During that week, Huang Ji had customers queuing up outside at five or six o'clock every day waiting for the opening, and there were still customers queuing up outside at two or three in the morning. Even if the kitchen had no food left, there were only two Bundle the vegetables, and the guests will be willing to eat a plate of vegetables before leaving.”

"This is Xu Cheng's influence."

"In an era when communications were underdeveloped and print media was king, Xu Cheng's influence was beyond your imagination."

"All it takes is one food review and a few words of praise, and his fans will travel thousands of miles, even if they fly across the ocean, just to eat a dish that Xu Cheng has praised."

Qin Huai was somewhat surprised when he heard what Zheng Siyuan said.

How to put it, he knew Xu Cheng was awesome, but he didn't expect Xu Cheng to be so awesome.

The same words have different effects when spoken from Huang Anyao's mouth, Dong Shi's mouth, and Zheng Siyuan's mouth.

Huang Anyao is the fan filter, Dong Shi is the gossip leader, and Zheng Siyuan is the golden certification.

"Then you didn't let Xu Cheng try your craft yesterday, wouldn't it be a loss?" Qin Huai said.

Qin Huai felt that Zheng Siyuan's overall skills were still superior to his own.

Zheng Siyuan is a hexagonal warrior with a professional background and balanced development.

Qin Huai has made rapid progress during this period, and Zheng Siyuan has actually improved. If nothing else, just talking about crepe wontons and bubble wontons, the progress is very obvious.

If Zheng Siyuan could stop worrying about flipping the spoon and use the time he spent practicing flipping the pot in the afternoon to practice white cases, his progress might be more obvious.

"Xu Cheng already tasted my craftsmanship two years ago." Zheng Siyuan said.

"Have you ever been on "Zhiwei"? Which issue? I have to buy it for my collection!" Qin Huai's eyes lit up.

Zheng Siyuan shook his head: "I haven't been on it. At that time, I just wanted to sell snacks at the gate of my community. I didn't want to be famous or appear on "Zhiwei", so I declined Xu Cheng's interview."

"What about you now?"

"I don't want to, my uncle's waist has gotten better now, and he will probably be back to work in another half month. Huang Ji can't live without a dim sum chef during the Chinese New Year. I plan to help until the Lantern Festival is over, and then go back to the pastry shop to continue. Selling pastries."

"I think my skills are not good enough yet," Zheng Siyuan said. "Maybe one day I will feel that my skills are good enough, and a good-sized restaurant will offer me an olive branch and let me become a master chef. I will leave the pastry shop and work somewhere else.”

Qin Huai smacked his tongue while kneading the dough: "This must be difficult. I heard Huang Anyao say before that the only well-known restaurant in China that mainly focuses on white food is Zhiweiju. I studied the rankings of the celebrity chef directory yesterday, and Zhiweiju's The master chef is ranked 41st, and the lowest ranking is 97th. If you want to be a master chef at Zhiweiju, you have to be ranked 40th among the famous chefs.”

As we all know, Zheng Da was ranked 53rd in the celebrity chef directory for the only time, and then he refused to be ranked because his ranking was too low.

And Zheng Da's craftsmanship is definitely superior to Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan.

Zheng Dadu can only be ranked 53rd, and Zheng Siyuan wants to rush to 40th place...

If he also has a system to open a hangup or something for him, it might still be possible.

"This is just a future plan." Zheng Siyuan said, continuing to make wontons.

After waiting for a while, Zheng Siyuan finally realized, weren't they originally talking about Qin Huai? Why are you talking about yourself?

"After my dad saw Xu Cheng's Weibo this morning, he called a few masters who are familiar with Zhiweiju to help you borrow some helpers from Zhiweiju." Zheng Siyuan brought the topic back to the topic.

"Help?" Qin Huai was shocked, "Can Zhiweiju still borrow help?"

Is Zhiweiju’s business so complete?

This is the cradle of white students.

"Special times, special means." Zheng Siyuan said calmly, "My dad is afraid of you... I have been exhausted these days."

"And it can't be said that it's borrowing help. To be precise, it's learning and exchange."

I am just a little tired these days, but I will be really tired when "Zhiwei" is released.

Huang Ji’s snacks are unlimited, and Zheng Da is afraid that Huang Ji will tire out his future precious apprentice.

Qin Huai sighed in his heart that he was really experienced and continued to knead the noodles.

At 8:40, everyone in Huang Ji and Ouyang squatting at the door of the kitchen ate longevity noodles.

Ouyang, who had never eaten longevity noodles cooked with this level of broth, wanted to lick the entire bowl. After drinking a large bowl of noodle soup, he licked his face and refilled half a bowl before going out to investigate.

The specific method of inspection is to go shopping in the pedestrian street and buy lemon tea.

After breakfast, Qin Huai began to work formally.

Today’s menu is the premium Sanding Bao, fermented rice dumplings and mung bean cake.

When making mung bean cake yesterday, Qin Huai felt that he had not made mung bean cake for a while. He was not good at it and needed to practice, so he added this snack to the recipe.

You don’t have to do too much. Most of the people who come to Huangji to buy dim sum are for the fermented rice dumplings. Yesterday’s Sanding Bao was a huge success, so I guess a lot of people bought Sanding Bao.

Mung bean cake is just a side dish at best.

Huang Ji's mung bean cake is so expensive. Although the mung bean cake made by Qinhuai tastes better than those sold outside, in terms of cost performance, it is definitely still as delicious as ordinary pastry shops.

Master Qin, who was working normally, didn't know what was about to happen.

At 10 o'clock, Huang Ji's waiters have not yet arrived.

Huang Ji's waiters start work at 10:40. The foreman and those who have extra tasks the next day will come early. People who live nearby will occasionally drop in early.

The foreman came late today, only arriving at 10 o'clock.

It's a bit embarrassing to tell you the reason for coming late - I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night and woke up late.

The foremen of Huang Kee have been working at Huang Kee since it opened. They are the employees who have the deepest affection for Huang Kee. Huang Ji's business has been declining in the past two years. The foreman has seen it and is worried about it, but there is nothing he can do about it.

She is not a chef and cannot cook, otherwise she would really like to rush into the kitchen and cook two dishes for the guests.

It’s different now, now the real turning point is here!

Xu Cheng is here!

As long as Huang Ji plays "Zhiwei" again, he will definitely be the No. 1 in Suzhou. No matter how bad Huang Anyao's management level is, Huang Ji will be able to grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory under the leadership of Huang Anyao.

The foreman was very energetic when riding his bicycle today.

Then she stood stunned at Huang Ji's door.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the waiter's working time has not yet arrived, and Huang Ji has not yet opened for business, but there is already a queue at the door.

Still a long queue.

It was estimated that there were at least forty or fifty people.

Foreman Cao almost took a breath.

She had not seen this scene for many years.

The last time I saw this scene, Huang Shengli's waist was still in good shape, with no problems at all.

Foreman Cao quickly rushed into Huang Ji, changed his clothes, and quickly walked into the kitchen, where he found Huang Shengli, Huang Anyao and Zheng Da were there.

Huang Shengli rarely changed into work clothes, but he was not working, nor was he sitting in the back kitchen drinking tea at a small table. Instead, he stood in the center and directed everyone.

"Okay, Xiaojiu, don't cut the remaining vegetables. You and Qin Huai have a tacit understanding. You go pick up Lao Liu from work and keep an eye on the stuffing in the pot."

"Lao Liu, please pay attention to the management of other people."

"Siyuan, please help keep an eye on your dad and don't let him be lazy. Look at what I do, and I'm talking about you!"

"It's not me who asked you to help. You called me early in the morning and said that there must be a lot of guests today. Don't make Xiao Qin tired. You took the initiative to come here. I don't know your character yet. "Your waist is fine. What's wrong if you work for a while? My waist is not completely healed yet. If my waist is completely healed, I will go over and help Xiao Qin knead the dough."

"An Yao, I'm not telling you, you've really forgotten all the basic skills you learned when you were a child. Forget it, it's useless for you to stay here. You can go over there and wash the vegetables."

Huang Anyao: QAQ

Huang Shengli turned around and saw the foreman.

"Xiao Cao, here we come." Huang Shengli said with a smile, "Have all the customers lining up outside the door seen it?"

Foreman Cao nodded heavily.

"As soon as Xu Cheng's Weibo post, Huangji's business will be booming again during this period. During this period, you have to work harder and keep an eye on the lobby and the customers queuing up to buy snacks. There are so many customers queuing up outside. "The snacks for lunch will be sold earlier today, at 11 o'clock. Do you have any questions?"

"No problem!" Foreman Cao said firmly, "Don't worry, Master Huang, our service staff will never hold back the restaurant!"

.

At 12 noon, Xu Cheng, who was stuck on the road yesterday, learned well today and gained experience. He did not ride a bicycle, but he went to the neighborhood with his assistant in advance and walked slowly to Huangji.

Xu Cheng originally didn't want to come to Huang Ji for dinner today.

But yesterday's manuscript was so good and smooth that he was hungry from writing in the middle of the night.

Xu Cheng was craving for snacks.

In order to prevent overeating like yesterday, I ate a lot at lunch and afternoon tea, and I skipped meals in the evening and felt hungry in the middle of the night. Xu Cheng decided to eat a sandwich bun, a fermented steamed bun, and a bowl of tangerine peel tea at noon today. He would never eat more.

He deliberately didn't say hello in advance.

If you come directly without saying hello, you won’t be able to eat Xiao Zao.

You won’t overeat.

Xu Cheng felt that he planned well.

Until he reached the intersection 200 meters away from Huang Ji.

What did he see?

An endless queue as far as the eye can see.

Xu Cheng was confused.

He even saw a few people at the end of the queue eating while queuing up, and they were eating exactly what he wanted to eat today: fermented steamed buns and sandwich buns.

The assistant was about to step forward to ask what was going on, but Xu Cheng stopped the assistant and stepped forward in person.

"Hello, may I ask where this platoon is..."

"Yes, yes, yes, this is Huang Ji's dim sum queue!" the uncle at the end of the queue said enthusiastically, "Young man, don't look at the captain, the queue is very fast, it can be up to forty...an hour at most, you can queue up Remember to buy more when you’re in line, but don’t buy too much, you’ll get beaten easily.”

Xu Cheng:?

"Uncle, didn't you buy everything?" the assistant asked.

"Ouch, don't talk about it. I was inexperienced when I was queuing for the first time and I didn't buy enough. Just after I finished buying, I heard someone say something. A food critic posted on Weibo and recommended Huang Ji. He said that these days There must be a lot of people coming to grab snacks, and the number of people from out of town today is the least.”

"I was so scared that I quickly queued up again to buy more to eat at home. Don't say I didn't remind you, it's best to buy these fermented steamed buns at least 10 pieces, otherwise it won't be enough!"

Xu Cheng:…

Are your Huang Ji customers so crazy when it comes to buying things?

Xu Cheng has heard that Huang Ji's ordering is never limited. Only the banquet dishes are limited. You can order the rest of the dishes as long as they are on the menu. There is no so-called hidden menu or VIP menu.

but…

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

Five minutes later, Xu Cheng opened a small stove and bought Sanding Bao, fermented steamed buns and tangerine peel tea through a phone call. While eating the buns, Xu Cheng walked outside with his assistant.

Xu Cheng never dreamed that one day he would want to eat steamed buns and steamed buns, and would have to call someone to open a small stove.

As for why you don’t sit inside and eat...

Because Xu Cheng didn't reserve a private room today, he thought about buying it and taking it away, and there was no room inside.

As for why I walked around the door of Huangji instead of leaving directly, it was because the new batch of mung bean cakes was not ready yet.

Xu Cheng: You’re here, let’s have some mung bean cake before leaving.
