Chapter 216 Master Qin Huai is online

January 3rd, sunny and breezy.

As the last day of the New Year holiday, business at major restaurants, shopping malls and other entertainment venues across the country is always better than usual.

The business of Huangji Restaurant is also better than usual.

Qin Huai went back to rest early yesterday and wanted to adjust his work and rest, but his biological clock couldn't adjust for a while, so he couldn't get up late even if he wanted to.

Compared with the previous biological clock of getting up at 4 o'clock, the current schedule of going to work at 9:30 is directly different by several time zones.

Qin Huai woke up early in the morning and had nothing to do. He watched a variety show for more than ten minutes and found it boring. He also got tired of the cheese sticks in the refrigerator and wanted to eat two sweets.

After thinking about it, Qin Huai felt that it would be good to make breakfast at home.

Make Sixi gnocchi.

Ouyang heard the noise in the kitchen and came out of the room with a chicken coop on his head. When he saw the blind box style Sixi dumplings boiling in the pot, his face turned green.

Ouyang has something to say about who has eaten the most Sixi dumplings with mint filling during this period.

Don't look at the glutinous rice dumplings that Qin Huai practiced in the kitchen in the afternoon that were divided by Huang Jihan's fearless people. Most of the glutinous rice dumplings that Qin Huai practiced at home that night ended up in Ouyang's stomach.

Ouyang sometimes feels that the small stove he eats at the bone-setting shop every night is the compensation given to him by Qin Huai.

"Qin Huai, what kind of flavor do you make..." Ouyang said cautiously.

"Normal taste, stuffed with shredded radish, no mint filling." Qin Huai stirred the dumplings in the pot, "Do you want to eat it or not? How many bowls will you eat?"

Ouyang felt relieved when Qin Huai said this and immediately expressed his stance: "Two bowls!"

After a few minutes, the gnocchi comes out of the pan.

Qin Huai served an ordinary bowl, and Ouyang served a large bowl. Both of them were very experienced and did not eat directly but chatted first while waiting for the dumplings to cool down.

"Huihui will have a holiday the day after tomorrow, right?" Qin Huai said, "Have you rented Sister Hong's house for her?"

"It's rented." Ouyang held a spoon in his hand, which contained glutinous rice balls. He blew on it and said, "It's in the building at the back. Sister Hong likes to buy things, so I rented her a three-bedroom apartment. I'll rent that house to her." I’ve seen it, it’s a bit old, and the furniture is from 20 years ago. I discussed with Sister Hong to replace it with a batch of new furniture, and I’ve been busy with it these days.”

"Huihui will finish her exam in the afternoon of the 5th, and Sister Hong and the others will be here on the 6th."

"Replace furniture?" Qin Huai was a little surprised, "That will cost a lot of money, right?"

"That's quite a lot." Ouyang nodded, "I went next door and asked Mr. Gong, and I got a full smart home that he recommended. Sister Hong planned to buy the house directly, but the owner seemed reluctant to sell it and was still negotiating. "

Qin Huai:…

Renting for rich people is really confusing.

"So are you busy today?" Qin Huai asked next.

Ouyang blew twice more and started eating. Fortunately, it was stuffed with meat, so there was no need to tap dance.

"No." Ouyang said vaguely, "I originally planned to go to Huangji for dinner today, but weren't you famous in that magazine? You definitely won't be able to eat. My dad still has a lot of money left for me. I I plan to go to Guanhe Tower for a meal at noon."

"Anything happen this afternoon?"

"No."

"If it's convenient, come to Huangji after lunch. You may not know that Uncle Wang came to Suzhou yesterday..."

"I know." Ouyang chewed the remaining glutinous rice **** in one gulp, took out his mobile phone from his pajamas pocket, opened WeChat, and showed Qin Huai the group chat.

[Yunzhong Community Owners Exchange Group]

Qin Huai:?

Does Yunzhong Community still have this group of owners? As the owner of the community, why didn't he know?

Qin Huai clicked on the group message and found that there were quite a few people in the group, most of whom were acquaintances. Xu Tuqiang, Uncle Wang, Uncle Qian, and Grandma Ding were all there, and Chen Huihong was also there. Everyone was talking about air tickets and hotels.

"Are Grandma Ding and the others going out in a group to play?" Qin Huai asked.

"They came here in a group." Ouyang pointed to the mobile phone, "I don't know who spread the false news, saying that you are attracted by Huang Ji's boss, and he wants to marry his daughter to you and let you inherit Huang Ji. You will soon I will stay here in Gusu as my son-in-law and will not return to Yunzhong Canteen."

"I've never heard that Huang Anyao has sisters."

Qin Huai:…

Is this the point? !

"Everyone organized a tour group to come to Suzhou just for this matter?" Qin Huai was shocked.

He found that he still didn't understand the owners of Yunzhong Community very well. No wonder he couldn't join this group of owners.

"Maybe you want to come over and have fun." Ouyang said that he didn't know exactly why. "Gusu is also pretty good. Didn't Sister Hong bring Huihui here to play too?"

Qin Huai was briefly convinced. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this was not what he wanted to say, and quickly brought the topic back.

"I went on to say that yesterday Uncle Wang came to Huangji to queue up to buy snacks and met Qu Jing. Huangji's business has been good recently, and Qu Jing was too embarrassed to ask me to jump in the queue to open a small stove, so she came over secretly during the holidays. Queuing up to buy snacks.”

"Isn't there a new fruit today? Qu Jing hasn't eaten Sixi Rice Balls either. Come over after lunch and help me deliver snacks to Qu Jing. Do you know the address of her hospital?"

"I know." Ouyang nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Is the Sixi Rice Ball you gave Dr. Qu a serious rice ball?"

Qin Huai: "...I can make normal mince-filled dumplings!"

After eating, Qin Huai watched TV series for another half an hour. When it was almost time, he went out to Huangji.

It's rare to work so late, I'm not used to it.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the community, Qin Huai was stunned by what he saw.

The community where Qin Huai lives is opposite Huang Ji. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to work, which is very close.

Of course, there are actually closer communities. There are all old communities near Huangji. Anyone who knows old communities knows that these old communities are very concentrated and dense. Some of them have no property management and are very loose. The gates are basically open all year round.

But this is not the reason why people queue up to enter other people’s residential areas!

Isn't it only 9:30 now?

It hasn't opened yet. Yesterday, at least, the queue was after the opening hours.

Qin Huai walked cautiously towards Huang Ji and found that there was actually a guardrail for queuing at Huang Ji's door, but there were too many people, and the first thing Qin Huai could see was outside the guardrail.

At the front of the queue were seven or eight college students who were clearly traveling together, both male and female, experienced and full of energy.

It was obvious that I had queued up as soon as I got off the high-speed train with my suitcase in hand. Smaller suitcases sat directly on the suitcases, while larger suitcases came with their own folding bench. Gloves, hats, baby warmers, etc. were all available, and they also brought their own water and fruits, which were enthusiastically distributed to the young couples behind them who were obviously not that experienced and did not have enough equipment.

Qin Huai silently went in through the back door, changed clothes and went into the kitchen.

In the back kitchen, everyone was working enthusiastically. Even Zheng Da put on Huang Ji's work clothes for the first time and worked hard to knead the dough.

"Master Qin!" The first chef from Zhiweiju who saw Qin Huai quickly greeted him, "Have you had breakfast?"

"After eating, I cooked some Sixi dumplings at home in the morning." Qin Huai nodded and glanced at the Ruyi rolls, Sixi dumplings and carrot cakes placed in the insulator.

It seems that these snacks were specially made for him by the chefs at Zhiweiju.

Qin Huai changed the topic: "But I'm not completely full yet. You can eat a little more to fill your stomach."

The cook closest to the incubator hurried to get some snacks.

The chef at Zhiweiju, like Zheng Siyuan, only practices one or two snacks in a period of time. Qin Huai doesn't even need to taste them, he only needs to look at them to know who made them.

Start by taking a bite of the authentic Sixi Dumplings.

Well, not as good as yourself.

"The combination is not good. The most important thing for Sixi Dumplings is the combination of ingredients. There should be no problem with these four ingredients, but the proportions are not right. Try more and practice more to get the right proportions. Also, chopped green onions are not suitable to be added."

Take another bite of the carrot cake.

generally.

"It's soft, oily, and can't be fried well. I haven't practiced the basic skills well. Practice it hard."

It's Ruyijuan's turn. Qin Huai took a bite and glanced at Gu Li subconsciously. Gu Li was assigned to help Zheng Da today and was making dough.

Qin Huai did not comment because there was no need for comment.

There is no problem with Gu Li's basic skills. All his problems are in his techniques. He just needs to find the right direction and practice hard.

Among the three snacks, the Ruyi Roll is undoubtedly the most delicious, and the portion is not large. Qin Huai ate while holding the plate and wandered to Dong Shi's side and asked:

"There are so many people queuing outside, doesn't Chief Cao want to find a way to solve it? It's only what time it is, and the queue won't go to the other side of the street until 11 or 12 o'clock."

Dong Shi was chopping carrots and didn't dare to be distracted. When he heard this, he immediately put down the knife and said, "Foreman Cao will release the order at 9:40."

After speaking, Dong Shi glanced at Huang Shengli and saw that his master was also looking at him without showing any displeasure. He tacitly agreed that he would fish for five minutes now and continued boldly:

"Master and Foreman Cao discussed it for a long time yesterday afternoon. If the online queuing opens early, it will be unfair to the guests who came early to queue. But if the online queuing is not opened, the guests will always stand at the door, ten in a row. A few hours more tiring.”

"Master and Foreman Cao couldn't think of any particularly good solution, so they could only issue orders to customers who had been queued offline at 9:40 every day, and then started online queues at 10:10."

"In order to ensure that guests who queued up online will not be completely deprived of food, 5 tables will be reserved in the lobby specifically for guests who queued up online."

"Rearrangement of passed numbers."

"And aren't there a lot of large round tables on the first floor? They are wedding banquets, banquets, large tables with seats for 12 people. What the foreman Cao means is that if there are almost all the guests at the table, we will take them. If there are not, we will let individual guests share the table. ”

"This actually has no impact on our kitchen, but their workload in the lobby will be much greater."

"Oh, by the way, did you ask foreman Cao to reserve a middle table yesterday? You need to tell your friends in advance and ask them to come over early, and leave it for them to operate behind the scenes on the 6th."

Hearing what Dong Shi said, Qin Huai suddenly understood Qu Jing a little bit.

In this case, eating Xiaozao is really stressful.

Sure enough, Xiao Zao still has to sit in the kitchen or pack to eat at a bone setting shop without any pressure.

After listening to Dong Shi's report, Qin Huai returned to the cooking table and started working.

Qin Huai is very familiar with making fruit.

Although he has not practiced this snack for a long time like crab roe shaomai, the essence of the fruit is actually an apple-faced fruit, at least in terms of shape.

And Qin Huai has an inexplicable and comfortable familiarity and proficiency with apple noodles.

It was the first time that he directly copied the apple noodles made by Zheng Siyuan. Such an outrageous operation was not only outrageous to Zheng Siyuan, but also Qin Huai, the person involved.

At that time, Qin Huai even doubted whether he could become a spirit by Ctrl+c. With Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v, he had copied Zheng Siyuan's apple noodles.

However, this talent is limited to apple-shaped fruits, and other fruits cannot.

The Ctrl+c that has become sperm only likes to eat apples.

Guoer is the basis of apple noodle Guoer, so the speed of making it is absolutely impossible to be too fast.

Whether it's kneading, shaping or coloring the dough, it can't be done quickly.

There is a certain amount of skill involved in painting a fruit ugly enough. You don't just dip a brush in some beetroot juice and brush it up at will. There are skills and methods.

Qin Huai was making the fruit in an orderly manner.

Huang Shengli was frying the stuffing in high spirits.

Zheng Da worked hard to make fermented steamed buns.

Zheng Siyuan was helpless in making the three-pack buns. Halfway through, he asked Huang Shengli full of doubts if it was really okay for him to make the three-pack buns.

Zheng Siyuan said that his skills in making San Ding Bao are not as good as Qin Huai's, and he is not good at making them.

When the time comes, the buns are not made by Qin Huai, and the taste is not as good as those made by Qin Huai. If the customers queue for a long time to buy the wrong buns, wouldn't it be deceiving customers?

Huang Shengli comforted Zheng Siyuan not to worry, because what he was selling today was not a high-quality three-pack, but an ordinary three-pack.

Cheap.

When customers see the price, they will know that the buns are cheap and not good.

As for why we have to sell Sandingbao...

It's not because Qinhuai has been selling Sanding Bao for a long time. The high-quality Sanding Bao has become Huangji's second pastry signature after Jiuniang Mantou. Many customers only recognize Sanding Bao and Jiu Niang Mantou.

Especially guests from out of town.

If you can't eat fruit, you must eat Sanding Bao and fermented steamed buns.

It doesn't matter who made these two dim sum, as long as the taste is above par and everyone feels that the trip is worthwhile.

Zheng Siyuan:…

Tired and ruined, it’s time for the pastry shop to reopen.

Compared with the nervous and fast-paced crowd, Qin Huai's side really felt like he was on vacation.

Qin Huai has relatively few helpers today.

Not useful.

Among these people, only Zheng Siyuan and Zheng Da can make apple noodles. One of them, father and son, was making fermented steamed buns and the other was making three-packs. Neither of them had time to help Qin Huai.

So although today Qin Huai seems to have usurped the throne and become the chef of Huang Ji, today is actually the most independent day Qin Huai has been since he came to Huang Ji.

He does all the work alone, and no one else can help him at all.

The only two helpers, Wang Jun and Tan Weian, are here to help with the coloring.

The artistic attainments of these two are relatively unique, and the fruits they produce are slightly uglier than others.

"Your color patch is too even. It can't be so even, and it can't be so even and the lack of color is too deliberate. Look at me, only this kind of inexplicable mottled color can show an ugly enough effect." Qin Huai instructed while brushing.

Tan Wei'an took the brush and brushed the fruit with a vengeance.

He really didn't understand that it would be fine if he didn't have Qin Huai's talent in Bai An. Such talent was rare.

But why is it not as good in terms of styling?

They are all ugly. Why does his ugliness seem so ordinary and soulless.

"I'll leave the rest to you. Master Huang's stuffing is ready. I'm going to wrap the fruit and shape it." Qin Huai left a sample and went to work.

"bite."

The order-taking machine suddenly rang.

This means that orders have begun to be received outside, and Huangji's business has officially begun today.

"Can Guo'er be served now? How many can be served in the first batch? Count, count!"

Qin Huai is concentrating on shaping his body.

Huang Shengli walked quietly behind Qin Huai and patted him.

"Xiao Qin, do you want to go outside and take a look?"

"Ah?" Qin Huai didn't quite understand what Huang Shengli meant.

"More than 90% of the guests in the lobby now come specifically for you." Huang Shengli said with a smile, "Would you like to see how these diners who have come from afar feel when they eat your signature dim sum for the first time? reaction?"

Qin Huai's heart was moved.

“Believe me, the truest feedback from guests is the greatest compliment a chef can receive.”

"When I first became a chef in a state-owned hotel, my favorite thing to do was to secretly watch the guests outside while they were eating."
