Chapter 164 Running in both directions

Although Zheng Da wanted to stop cutting pigeons immediately and show off his talent by making crab roe siomai for Qin Huai on the spot, he still held back.

The preparation work for making crab roe siomai is very complicated. If Zheng Da starts preparing now, if nothing happens, Qin Huai will not be able to see the crab roe siomai he made until the evening.

On a tiring day on the Qinhuai boat trip, Zheng Dacai couldn't bear to let his future beloved disciple stay up until night with him.

Zheng Da continued to deal with the pigeons.

There is a saying that Zheng Da is a top-notch chef, and his knife skills are also top-notch among chefs. In a sense, he can even be regarded as a hexagonal warrior. His basic skills in all aspects are not stretched, and his numerical values ​​are quite high.

Combined with the fact that he has only been working as a chef for a short period of time, it can even be said that he quit the job at a golden age and went into business. It is not an exaggeration to call Zheng Da a genius.

Although the genius is a little out of date now, he is dealing with pigeons for a close disciple who is not sure whether he can be deceived or not.

Pigeons really need to be handled carefully and are much more difficult than chickens and ducks.

Not to mention that Zheng Da didn't know what happened, but he insisted on showing off his sword skills and had to remove the whole pigeon's bones. When the first pigeon was deboning, it overturned and scratched the pigeon's skin. The second pigeon continued to debone in order to regain its place.

Qin Huai didn't understand, so he chose to cook the soup silently.

Since there is nothing worthy of reference or learning in the video tutorial, Qin Huai mainly relies on his own performance when making Gastrodia stewed pigeons.

Of course, the pigeons have been taken care of by someone. There is not much room for stewing the pigeons with Gastrodia elata. Just control the heat and stew normally without overturning.

The stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata is sold in portions, and a specially customized small cup is required. Huang Ji had a batch of the right sizes and models in his warehouse, and he sorted them out for Qin Huai to make stewed pigeons with gastrodia elata.

For a moment, the entire kitchen was filled with the strong aroma of pigeon soup.

Gong Liang, who was in the hall, had already secured a spot for the food tasting. He squatted from the hall to the door of the kitchen and poked his head in to look inside.

Even though many people in Huangji's kitchen have a deep white filter for Qin Huai, everyone has to admit that the stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata this afternoon smelled really ordinary.

It doesn’t feel much different from the gastrodia pigeon soup that costs 28 yuan a serving in small shops outside.

The only difference may be that Qinhuai's ingredients are more generous. A serving of Gastrodia stewed pigeon really contains a whole pigeon, and there is also a lot of Gastrodia, and the auxiliary ingredients such as wolfberry are not just sprinkled in for fun.

The ingredients are enough to make many chefs who have a little knowledge of food supplements murmur in their hearts whether the ingredients of this gastrodia stewed pigeon are a bit too heavy. Whether it is gastrodia elata, wolfberry, red dates or **** slices, they are not considered to be fresh. Good ingredients, but adding too much may not taste good.

If Qin Huai could hear the inner thoughts of these chefs, he would definitely tell them that it is not up to me to decide, Liu Tao only put so many ingredients.

The E-grade Gastrodia stewed pigeon is so arrogant.

Two hours later, the pigeon stewed with Gastrodia elata was out of the pot.

[Gastrodia stewed pigeon D+ grade]

All of them were D+ grade, and none reached C grade. It can be seen that Qin Huai's current level is still far from C grade.

Qin Huai made the stew according to the number of people, and the kitchen staff plus Gong Liang and the lobby foreman had one share. Huang Shengli went to the hospital for a review in the afternoon and Huang Anyao accompanied him, but neither of them were there, so there was no one.

Gong Liang received a very beautiful portion. He excitedly picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it and became the first crab eater.

Very average.

This was Gong Liang's first reaction when he drank pigeon soup.

In fact, this adjective was quietly beautified by Gong Liang in his heart. Who is Gong Liang? He is the childhood friend of Zheng Da and Huang Shengli. He was the former chief of the sales department. He achieved financial freedom at a young age and achieved continuous eating. An epic achievement of crab roe siomai made by Master Yiyijing himself.

Not to mention the D+ grade Gastrodia stewed pigeon, even the grilled whole pig head made by Huang Jia, Gong Liang would not look down on it when he was offered it.

Gong Liang felt that he had not tasted such ordinary soup for a long time.

Too average.

Gong Liang usually went out to eat, and if the store dared to bring this kind of soup in front of him, Gong Liang would get angry and scold him.

However, considering that this soup is Qin Huai's latest masterpiece, it is normal that Qin Huai is not good at making soup. Moreover, Gong Liang had also heard about Qin Huai's fire training progress and knew that Qin Huai's fire was quite worrying.

Gong Liang thought about it again and again, but finally gritted his teeth and finished the whole portion of stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata.

Not only was the soup finished, but all the pigeon meat and gastrodia elata were also eliminated, leaving only the red dates and wolfberry.

Gong Liang really didn't like eating these two things.

After eating, Gong Liang comforted himself, all to encourage Master Xiao Qin, so that he could have better snacks in the future. Now, sacrificing your taste buds and eating something bad is considered an investment, and it won’t be a loss.

Alas, if I had known to inquire more clearly, I would have come here after hearing the news.

Gong Liang sadly went upstairs to the box and sent a message to Huang Shengli. He said that he had paid a lot this afternoon not to damage Qin Huai's self-confidence, and strongly asked Huang Shengli to cook him two dishes in the evening to make up for it.

On the other side, after eating, Huang Jia and the foreman agreed that this dish was really average, so average that it didn't even reach the level of Huang Ji's menu.

But considering that it was Qin Huai who cooked the food, and Qin Huai had already emphasized in advance that the taste of this dish might not be good, it was a dietary supplement and considered a medicinal diet. From a dietary supplement perspective, this dish is not so off limits.

In the end, Huang Jia and the foreman unanimously decided that the menu could be served, but the price must be very low, that is, it would be a special offer for new dishes, and the cost price would not make money.

And the pigeon stewed with Gastrodia elata must have a prefix in front of this dish -

Nourishing medicinal food!

Some people were worried about Qin Huai's stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata, but Qin Huai himself didn't care much.

In this dish, he emphasized what should be emphasized and patched what should be patched. Qin Huai felt that there was nothing to say.

Gastrodia stewed pigeon is considered qualified if it reaches E level, and D+ level will definitely have buffs. It's just that the buff of this dish has a chance to be triggered, and the higher the level of the dish, the greater the chance of triggering. The D-level buff should not be high. Qin Huai guessed that it might not even be 50%.

Therefore, Qin Huai did not think that this dish would sell well. I think as long as it doesn't stretch the crotch, it's fine if some diners eat it and the buff happens to be triggered.

It improves eyesight and calms the mind, and is good for the body.

Good news for office workers and student parties.

Qinhuai’s current focus is crab roe shaomai.

After unlocking all of Luo Jun's memories, the only ones Qin Huai needs to attack now are Gong Liang and Qu Jing.

Qu Jing lives in Shanshi and is a neurology doctor at a private hospital with a regular job. Qin Huai is in Gusu, and the two of them are so far apart. Qin Huai will definitely not be able to complete Qu Jing's side mission in a short period of time.

Not to mention Qu Jing's side mission, which still makes Qin Huai a little confused. It's too abstract and he doesn't give any hints.

Before, Qin Huai focused on being close to Qu Jing because both Chen Huihong and Luo Jun emphasized to Qin Huai that Qu Jing's state was very dangerous, and the more bizarre she was, the closer she was to the top seven.

Now that Qu Jing's biggest secret of self-mutilation has been exposed by Qin Huai, Chen Huihong also said that Qu Jing can live for at least 5 more years in this state. Qu Jing's mission seems less critical than before, and Gong Liang's mission can be moved forward a little. Move.

It is true that Gong Liang is not urgent at all.

Our gold medal salesman, Mr. Gong, is not even the last one. He even has a high probability of successfully overcoming the disaster on his own without Qin Huai's intervention.

But didn't Qin Huai meet him?

Not to mention that Gong Liang's task is so simple. He is designated to eat crab roe siomai. If he doesn't work hard to complete such a straightforward task, he can't do it.

Moreover, after Gong Liang had been free of wealth for so many years, Qin Huai felt that it was still necessary to fight for 10% of Gong Liang's inheritance.

On the first day that Master Xiao Qin returned to work, everyone in Huang Ji's kitchen had breakfast again.

Breakfast is longevity noodles. Hand-rolled noodles, boiled in chicken soup, a good day starts with a bowl of delicious noodles.

Gong Liang is very sure of this statement.

"Bliss."

After Gong Liang finished his third bowl of longevity noodles, Huang Anyao, who arrived belatedly, rushed to the kitchen and was shocked to see Gong Liang sitting on a small bench eating a bowl of noodles at the door of the kitchen.

"Uncle Gong, why are you here?"

Oh my God, who let Gong Liang in? He is the key surveillance target of Huang Ji's back cook.

Gong Liang pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Anyao, what do you mean by this? I don't welcome you, Uncle Gong. Fortunately, I hugged you many times when you were a child. I gave you lucky money every year and bought you many toys and new clothes." Well, I’m really hurting you for nothing.”

Huang Anyao quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I just think it's a bit strange that Uncle Gong actually came to Huangji so early and...even had noodles."

"Master Xiao Qin invited me here on his own initiative." Gong Liang said proudly, "Do you think Master Xiao Qin is like you? He wants to turn around and run away like a mouse after seeing a cat. Master Xiao Qin is very enthusiastic. Last night, he sent me a WeChat message to tell me that the stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata in the afternoon was not ready, and asked me if I had time to come to Huangji for breakfast this morning. "

"Anyao, you have to learn from Master Xiao Qin about this. Huang Ji wants you to take over from now on. Be more diplomatic. If your father and Zheng Da secretly open a small stove and cook something good, send a message to tell them immediately. Me, I’ll come right away.”

Huang Anyao:…

Is it possible that my dad and Uncle Zheng basically opened the small stoves for you?

Huang Anyao could only make a perfunctory yes and let Gong Liang continue to sit at the door of the kitchen and eat noodles. He went in and had a bowl, and asked Dong Shi, the most well-informed person, what happened.

Why was it that while he was accompanying his father to the hospital for a review, Gong Liang sat at the door of Huang Ji's kitchen to eat.

This progress is too fast. Huang Shengli will have another review next month. Huang Anyao was afraid that when he would return from Huang Shengli's review next month, Gong Liang would sit in the kitchen and eat.

Dong Shi had already obtained first-hand information from Qin Huai.

Gong Liang was invited by Qin Huai on his own initiative, and Qin Huai was also prepared for Gong Liang to sit in Huang Ji's kitchen for breakfast every morning.

He was even prepared that Gong Liang would hit the snake with a stick at any time and ask Qin Huai to open a small stove for him in the afternoon and make some delicious snacks.

Qin Huai told Huang Jia in advance about this, and Huang Jia said that as long as Qin Huai didn't mind, Gong Liang could eat at the door of the kitchen.

Just don’t come in to eat.

This is Huang Ji's final bottom line.

After all, for the sake of food hygiene and health in the kitchen, even Huang Anyao, the young boss, cannot come in to eat without changing his clothes.

Huang Anyao also sat at the door to eat before Qin Huai came. After Qin Huai came, Huang Anyao had to go into the kitchen more often, so he developed the habit of going to the dressing room to change clothes and go into the kitchen as soon as Huang Ji came.

Anyone who knows Qin Huai knows that Qin Huai is a chef who doesn't mind cooking for his friends.

Not only for non-human friends, but also for human friends, such as Ouyang, Grandma Ding, and Uncle Wang, who are 100% human. Qin Huai doesn't mind opening a small stove every now and then.

After all, Qin Huai's cooking skills were developed by running a small stove. If Luo Luo hadn't insisted on eating whatever he saw all these years, how would Qin Huai have the motivation to know more than 200 kinds of snacks?

According to the menu of Qin's breakfast restaurant, Qinhuai can make more than 20 kinds of steamed buns, which is already an innovation.

Now Qin Huai wants to conquer Gong Liang, and Gong Liang also wants to conquer Qin Huai. In a sense, the two are already going in both directions. Qin Huai slightly extended an olive branch, and Gong Liang climbed up the tree.

Gong Liang left after breakfast, presumably because he had work to deal with. Qin Huai went to work as usual in the morning. In addition to making snacks, he also stewed 112 portions of pigeon stewed with gastrodia elata.

Thanks to the neighbor's vigorous promotion, 112 portions of Gastrodia stewed pigeon were snapped up by diners at noon. Many diners who came to pack snacks specially packed a portion of Gastrodia stewed pigeon in order to support Qinhuai's development of new dishes. They were very happy to express their support. People are moved.

Foreman Huang Jiahe has also made initial progress in his food tonic and medicinal diet strategy, although the taste of the stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata is not satisfactory and is lower than Huang Ji's passing level. However, with the medicinal diet as a basis, the vast majority of diners still chose to accept it, and said against their will that the stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata tastes very good as a medicinal meal.

Chef Xiao Qin is really considerate. He is worried that everyone will harm their health by eating too many snacks and consuming a lot of carbohydrates and sugar, so he specially prepared a medicinal diet.

As usual, Qinhuai's lunch is a staff meal cooked by Huang Jia himself.

Not long after lunch, Zheng Da came.

Zheng Da brought good news to Qin Huai.

Huang Shengli's review yesterday was very satisfactory, and the doctor arranged a full set of physical therapy plans for Huang Shengli. Huang Shengli had to stay in the hospital for physical therapy for the past two days and was not allowed to go near the kitchen. The important task of guiding Qin Huai was temporarily taken over by Zheng Da.

Zheng Da himself considers himself to be an unborn famous teacher.

Zheng Da said that the previous teachings were all misunderstandings, and they were all taught casually and did not show his true level at all. Now he will put in 120% of his efforts and enthusiasm to show Qin Huai what a real gold medal master is.

Huang Shengli knows how to teach his disciples.

Those disciples of Huang Shengli were not trampled by Zheng Dara, but the disciples took in quite a few, a total of 9 of them, none of whom could beat them.

The one with the best skills is the eldest disciple Huang Jia. In terms of talent, he is only slightly better than ordinary chefs and cannot be considered a genius. The talent of the young apprentice Dong Shi is not bad, but Dong Shi is ignorant and has too many ideas of his own, so he is not a good apprentice.

Unlike him, although he has only taught one apprentice for so many years, it is still his own son, but his son is up to date!

His son Zheng Siyuan is a well-known genius in the Bai An chef circle.

What? You said that many white chefs don’t know Zheng Siyuan?

That's because Siyuan is low-key. He doesn't usually participate in cooking exchange meetings, and he doesn't often go to large restaurants to study and exchange with his teachers. How can he become famous by sitting in front of the community every day.

What? You ask, how come Zheng Siyuan is recognized as a famous genius in the Bai An circle?

Please, Zheng Da is a well-known genius in the Bai An circle. He has personally admitted that his son is a genius. Can his son not be a genius?

What? You said that I, Zheng Da, am not very famous in the chef circle and many people don’t know me? Do you think I am just a businessman selling snacks?

Nonsense, ridiculous, rumour! What do they know about chefs!

This time, the self-proclaimed gold medal master Zheng Da brought his crab roe shaomai teaching.

"Xiao Qin, I really appreciate you wanting to learn crab roe shaomai. There are not many young people willing to learn this dish now. You have found the right person to learn from me. To be honest, some of the most famous people in my master's time were If you don’t believe me, ask Gong Liang. He ate crab roe siomai in a state-owned restaurant for a whole month. "

"There are two fillings for this Crab Roe Shaomai. Let me give you a basic introduction first."

Qin Huai answered quickly: "Siyuan told me about this before, one is real crab roe siomai with fresh shrimp meat and crab roe stuffing, and the other is a substitute version of crab roe siomai with fresh shrimp meat and egg yolk."

Zheng Da shook his head.

Qin Huai:?

"Siyuan is talking about the crab roe siomai sold in the market now, but when my master was making crab roe siomai in a state-owned restaurant, there was no substitute for egg yolk. At that time, egg yolk was much more expensive than crab, so how could we give egg yolk to crabs? What about Pingdai?" Zheng Da explained.

"The two fillings I'm talking about are shrimp meat as the base, mixed with crab meat and crab roe, seasoned and steamed directly. The preliminary preparation of crab roe shaomai with this filling is relatively simple, but the seasoning is very difficult. , it is difficult to balance the proportion between crab meat and shrimp meat. If it is not done well, in your words, it will be a serious overturn. It will either taste extremely fishy, ​​or you will not be able to taste the taste of shrimp meat and crab meat, and you can only taste a strong taste. Condiment flavor.”

"The other type is relatively less difficult in terms of seasoning, but the production process is very complicated. Its fillings need to be boiled in advance. After steaming the crabs, remove the crab meat, boil the crab oil, and combine the crab meat, crab roe and lean meat. The meat, chicken soup, skin jelly, and bone soup are boiled together like soup stock. Although the steps to make crab roe shaomai are complicated, the quality control can be guaranteed and it will not be easy to overturn. "

"Of course, based on the cost of the year, the cost of the second type will be much higher than the first type."

"Then what method did Mr. Gong use to make the crab roe shaomai that he ate in a state-owned restaurant for a month?" Qin Huai asked.

"Of course it's the first one. When Gong Liang became the section chief, he wanted to eat chicken soup, lean meat, and crab roe shaomai made from bone soup. Could he afford it? If he hadn't been my master's neighbor, My master would not give him a crab roe shaomai that would take a month to make. Just seasoning it would torture people to death. I searched all over the city and I think he was the only one who dared to make it."

"Then can I learn the first method first?" Qin Huai asked, "I'm not good at making soup stock, and you know my level of heat, but I am confident in my seasoning."

"I want to learn type 1."

"Okay!" Zheng Da said that he also had this intention. How could he show his level by doing the second type?

Of course it has to be a difficult challenge!

He is worthy of being his favorite closed-door disciple, with whom he has a tacit understanding and understanding!
