Chapter 16 The First Guest

The filling in the pot was still simmering over low heat. Qin Huai took the time to take a look at the fermentation of the dough next door, then took another pot and started making the filling for the sandwich buns.

Three Ding Bao, as the name suggests, is the youthful mini version of Wu Ding Bao.

The preparation steps are basically the same, except that there are two less diced fillings, no diced shrimps and diced ginseng, and the taste is slightly different from the five-diced buns. It cannot be said that they are inferior, it can only be said that each has its own merits.

Wu Ding Bao uses more abundant materials and is more difficult to make. Everyone who has cooked sea cucumber dishes knows that sea cucumbers are an extremely difficult ingredient to handle. They have no taste and are very fishy. If you use them well, they are the icing on the cake, but if you mess them up, they are the last big stone that breaks the camel's back.

Compared with the five-inch bag that is easy to flip over, the three-inch bag is simpler and easier to use. In addition to the higher requirements for ingredients, as long as no major mistakes are made when preparing the stuffing, it is basically difficult to turn over, and the taste is not much different.

To make sandwich buns, the chicken should be tender and fat from second-year hens, the pork should be pork ribs with moderate fatness and leanness, and the bamboo shoots should be selected according to the season, preferably winter bamboo shoots.

Whether it is a three-ding bag or a five-ding bag, the most important taste is freshness. This freshness comes not only from the type of ingredients, but also from the freshness of the ingredients. The requirements for raw materials are very high. Cutting corners will greatly affect the taste of the buns.

This also determines that the prices of these two steamed buns cannot be cheap.

The filling of the three-dice buns began to simmer, and the filling of the five-dice buns had reached the stage of thickening and condensing the juice.

Qinhuai's dual-line operation is very easy, and I am used to it every New Year.

The Qin family gathered together happily on New Year's Eve. On New Year's Day, guests carried chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps, pork ribs, fresh bamboo shoots, fish and shrimps and sea cucumbers. Dingbao. Qin Huai would be too busy if he didn't operate on two fronts. He couldn't even get out of the kitchen door during the entire Chinese New Year period.

Qin Luo changed his clothes and went from squatting at the door of the kitchen and staring at the food to squatting by the cooking table and looking at the food with hunger written all over his face.

Squat closer and smell better.

Bliss.

After finishing collecting the juice, Qin Huai put the stuffing of the five-cube buns into the freezer to refrigerate, and then looked at the dough on the chopping board.

Not even close.

Qin Luo turned his head and glanced at Qin Congwen with resentment, and said: "The hand is not even half an inch thick, but it is still booming and high when relaxed. Dad, when will you be able to knead out the food written in "Suiyuan Food List" like my brother? Noodles?”

Qin Congwen:?

Click me?

Zhao Rong glared at Qin Luo angrily and said: "You are just talking about words at this time, and I don't care how high your score is in the Chinese language test. If your dad could do that... or something, he would still be able to open breakfast for more than 20 years Shop? Don’t be idle, come over and make buns.”

"Oh." Qin Luo went to wash his hands.

"Luoluo, don't make the buns first." Qin Huai stopped Qin Luo, "Go and get the molds from the shelf. The bean paste filling and mung bean filling should be thawed. Use the dough kneaded by dad and press 5 sets of each mold. steamed stuffed bun."

Hearing what Qin Huai said, Qin Luo instantly became happy. In her opinion, pressing buns with molds is much more fun than making buns. She usually wouldn't let Qin Congwen play with molds at home.

"Luoluo, be careful." Qin Congwen reminded.

Qin Congwen didn't let Qin Luo play with the mold, not because he felt sorry for the mold, but mainly because the mold was a bit heavy, and Qin Congwen was afraid that Qin Luo would hurt himself. However, Zhao Rong has always felt that Qin Congwen's worries are unfounded. Qin Luo has been eating and sleeping since he was a child. He is only 1.6 meters tall but very strong. He has always been the main force in carrying watermelons at home in summer.

In the words of Mr. Qin, this child must be a good hand in farming in the countryside.

"Don't worry, dad!" Qin Luo happily played with the mold.

The family just performed their duties and worked hard until sunrise at 5:30.

It was just dawning outside when people came to Yunzhong Canteen, and they came in through the outer door.

What came in was a capable woman who looked to be in her early 30s, with short hair and flat shoes. She looked familiar to Qin Huai and couldn't remember where he had seen her before. When Qin Huai was thinking about whether to put down the buns in his hands and go to the kitchen door to take a look, the woman walked to the kitchen door by herself.

"Boss, I'm Huang Xi." Huang Xi accurately found Qin Huai behind the cooking table.

After Qin Huai entrusted all matters of the Yunzhong Restaurant to Huang Xi, he only made one rule: non-house cooks were not allowed to enter the kitchen without changing their clothes. Huang Xi was complying perfectly. He was standing more than 30 centimeters away from the kitchen door, and he controlled the distance very well.

Qin Huai suddenly realized that he had been preparing ingredients and making menus at home these past few days. He had never seen Huang Xi, only seen photos, and didn't react when he saw Huang Xi in person.

"Master Qin, Master Zhao, Luo Luo, good morning." Huang Xi greeted the others with a smile.

"You don't need to call me boss, call me...Master Xiao Qin." Qin Huai said, that's what the neighbors called him when he was in Qiu County.

Qin Congwen is Lao Qin and Qin Huai is Xiao Qin. The owner of the 10 Yuan Xiao Chao fast food restaurant next to Qin's breakfast shop is also named Qin. However, since the titles of Lao Qin and Xiao Qin are both taken, everyone usually calls him Qin. Bald. "Master Xiao Qin." Huang Xi said politely, "The rest of us will arrive at about 6 o'clock. I see that the dim sum has been steamed. Do we need to put up the menu now?"

Qin Huai nodded.

Huang Xi immediately got busy, and Qin Luo ran to the window to tell Huang Xi which dishes to hang.

The menu boards are wooden menu boards customized two days ago. The dishes and prices are marked on each board, making it easy to change.

Although Qin Huai has never met Huang Xi, he has had a lot of exchanges on WeChat in the past few days. Because of the business hours, Huang Xi divided the waiter's shifts into long shifts and short shifts.

The working hours for the long shift are from 6:30 am to 8 pm, and the short shift is from 11 am to 9 pm. The two shifts alternate every half a month. Handymen are harder and need to work long shifts, so their salary has been increased by 500 yuan on top of the original salary.

After Huang Xi hung up the menu, Qin Huai happened to wrap up the batch of three-packed buns and steam them in a small steamer. He took the time to poke his head out of the window and asked: "Don't you go to work at 6:30? Isn't it too early to arrive at 6:00? ”

Huang Xi smiled and said: "Today is the first day of opening, so you should arrive early and prepare in advance. It won't be like this after two days when we are on track."

Just as he was talking, the inner door opened.

An old man wearing an old man's shirt and walking lightly, who could be seen as someone who had gotten up early for a morning jog, walked in with his head raised. Only when he saw that there was someone in the cafeteria did he feel at ease to come in.

"Is it open for business?" the uncle asked, and then he saw through the window the steamer baskets forming a hill in the kitchen.

Without waiting for Huang Xi's answer, the uncle walked directly to the window and looked at the hanging menu cards.

"The small steamed pork buns are 6 yuan per basket, the fresh meat buns are 1.5 each, the mushroom and vegetable buns are quite cheap. The three-packed buns are 25 per basket, or two per basket. The five-packed buns are 35 per basket, or 1 basket. One...what are these two? They are so expensive."

"The bean paste buns are all 3 yuan, why are the bean paste buns more expensive than the meat buns?" The uncle said, "I'm not a stupid and rich upstart, don't try to kill me."

Huang Xi was about to explain, but was interrupted by the uncle again: "By the way, I received that flyer from you two days ago at the gate of the community, saying that I can get a 30% discount with the flyer. I didn't bring it when I went out this morning, can I just get a 30% discount? ?”

Huang Xi finally found the opportunity to speak, and said quickly: "Of course, our flyers are just for publicity. As of the 10th, all guests who enter the store will enjoy a 30% discount."

The uncle nodded with satisfaction and murmured: "30% off, 24.5."

"It's expensive."

"It's only 30% off."

"What if it tastes delicious?"

"No, it's still a bit expensive."

"Forget it, I've eaten the crab roe soup dumplings that cost 35 yuan each. What's the buns that cost 24 yuan and 50 yuan each? Let's get a basket!"

"I'll get a bag of those three-packs, and a cup of soy milk." Huang Xi didn't even need to say anything, the uncle convinced himself.

Huang Xi: "Okay, but our buns are still steaming, so you may need to wait for a few minutes."

After the uncle learned that the buns had not been steamed yet and had to wait a few minutes, he went to the cashier to pay and get a receipt, and asked Huang Xi to pour him a bowl of soy milk first. He was very thirsty after getting up early for a morning run.

The moment the uncle paid, the game prompt sounded in Qin Huai's mind.

"Ding, congratulations on completing the main mission [Canteen Opening] and receiving the mission reward Popularity Drainage +100."

"Ding, a new optional main quest has been discovered. Please check it in the quest panel."

Qin Huai continued making buns while the man sitting at table 9 closest to the window made a phone call.

"Hey, why am I late for my morning run? Am I, Xu Tuqiang, the kind of person who is late? I went out in a hurry today and didn't even have time to drink water. I went to the convenience store opposite to buy a bottle of water first. It only takes 5 minutes. I'll be there soon. , will be there soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Tuqiang shouted out of the window: "Young man, hurry up that little guy, I have something going on here, I'm anxious."

After saying that, Xu Tuqiang took another sip of soy milk. He seemed to be really thirsty.

Qin Huai:…

Uncle Xu, it is generally not recommended to eat breakfast before a morning run, as it is prone to indigestion.
