Although Zheng Da considers himself a low-key famous teacher, compared to a real famous teacher, he still has obvious shortcomings. His language is very lacking.

This can be seen from the fact that Zheng Da went to Yunzhong Canteen to guide Qin Huai a long time ago.

His language is basically limited to: You know this, what I am talking about is this and not that, the point of this is this, this is the feeling, yes, yes, this is this and not that. Pure encrypted calls.

Although Zheng Da was well prepared this time, he still failed to overcome the language difficulty. Zheng Da chose not to overcome it and gave up directly.

As long as there is no language in the teaching process, there are no difficulties to overcome!

Using language to teach is something only teachers like Huang Shengli can do who have never taught geniuses. Zheng Da said that geniuses like them don’t need language, they can just demonstrate directly. Zheng Da was very well prepared.

In order to prevent his teaching content from being too boring, he also tried to do some tricks when getting crab meat and crab roe, trying to show Qin Huai his superb crab meat removal skills, but ended up getting too much crab meat.

It's okay. If there is too much noodles, add water. If there is too much water, add noodles. This formula is applicable to most snacks. Just add a little more.

The process of making dim sum fillings is inherently full of uncertainties. The simple thing is that the single filling is not well controlled. The more complicated thing is that there is a problem with a single ingredient. For example, the sweet potato is not sweet enough, the pepper is too spicy, and the carrot tastes bad.

Too heavy..

Making dim sum is not about using formulas to solve questions. Once you learn the example questions, you can apply all similar question types to the formulas. To be precise, whether it is a red case or a white case, most dishes are like this. The more difficult the dishes are.

The greater the uncertainty, and problems may arise at any time during the production process.

Just like the recipe for longevity noodles that Qin Huai obtained, it was clearly an S-class longevity noodles, but because the chef had something to do, he asked the helper to keep an eye on the heat, and the helper was distracted and the heat turned upside down. This is an extremely rare and outrageous situation, and the S-level longevity noodles were turned into

Grade A.

Zheng Da's situation can't even be considered an overturn, it can only be a small episode in the pastry making. Ignoring these small episodes, Zheng Da's craftsmanship is nothing to criticize.

When it comes to kneading dough, Zheng Da’s ability to make simple Shaomai skin that is thick on the inside and thin on the outside is simply a dimensionality reduction blow. It does not even require seriousness. It is the same as Qin Huai’s kneading of ordinary pastries. He can still rely on his muscles in a daze.

Memory is complete.

When it comes to seasoning, Zheng Da's seasoning level is far higher than Zheng Siyuan and Qin Huai's. Qin Huai's seasoning is certified by the game system as advanced. Based on the rating of the game system, he feels that Zheng Da's seasoning must be at the master level.

Just like Zheng Da's lack of language when teaching, Zheng Da's seasoning basically relies on intuition. The chef's intuition.

After processing the chopped shrimp meat, crab meat, and crab roe, put them in a bowl. Zheng Da didn't need to find a small bowl to put in small portions and taste the seasoning first. He just added the ingredients, salt, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil.

Just put it in. Looking at his seasoning process, a layman like Huang Anyao would never know that seasoning crab roe shao mai is difficult because Zheng Da did it too casually.

It flows like clouds and water in one go.

He is not very fluent in the style of a master. Watching Huang Shengli make three sets of ducks, outsiders can clearly see that Huang Shengli is a master of superb craftsmanship, because the process of making three sets of ducks is very impressive.

But watching Zheng Da make crab roe shaomai, those who don’t know how to do it will not be able to tell the secret. They will think that this middle-aged chef is just like this, and he is not very serious about making dim sum. It feels like this and this and this and that, casually stirring and stirring, filling

The ingredients are ready and we start wrapping the shaomai.

Fortunately, Zheng Da's method of making siomai is very beautiful.

The movements are fast and the technique is skillful. The baked shaomai are all beautiful and similar in size and appearance, and they look like they are produced on an assembly line. Zheng Da has not lost the basic skills of working as a chef in a state-owned hotel in his early years.

The main focus is to be efficient and work quickly.

Zheng Da didn't say much during the whole process of making crab roe shaomai until it was steamed.

Purely made.

Qin Huai looked at it very seriously.

The crab roe siomai in the pot is still steaming. Qin Huai has never eaten crab roe siomai and doesn’t know the taste. He can’t imagine what it will taste like, but he is already looking forward to it. It must be delicious!

Qin Huai has never felt so intuitively that Zheng Da is a top-notch chef with superb skills.

No wonder Huang Shengli tries to bully Zheng Da every day, watching his talented junior give up cooking and go into business, achieve financial freedom, live happily like a god every day, and have a gifted son who inherits his craftsmanship. If he

Huang Shengli also stepped on Zheng Da.

"Xiao Qin, how are you? Did you understand just now? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. The seasoning of this crab roe shaomai is indeed more complicated. If you think you don't understand it, wait until this batch of siomai comes out of the pot and taste it first.

Feel it, I'll do it for you again, and then you can try it again."

"Oh, it's already past three o'clock. If you do it again, you won't have time to try it out. It's okay. You can learn digestion today and then try it out tomorrow. Don't worry, your Master Huang will have physical therapy tomorrow afternoon and won't have time to come over.

.”

"I have to tell him that this waist problem is not a small problem. He needs more physical therapy. He finally got better. What's the use of just doing physical therapy for these two days? He needs to do it for a few more days!" Qin Huai:...

Is there a possibility that Huang Shengli couldn't see anyone every morning because he was doing physical therapy in the morning? Qin Huai decided to chat for a while first.

"Master Zheng, I've always been a little curious. How did you and Master Huang learn how to cook when they were learning cooking? Did you learn it the same way you teach me now?" Qin Huai asked. It's not his fault for being curious, it was Zheng Da.

Huang Shengli’s teaching model is so different that it doesn’t look like it was taught by a master.

"Back then." Zheng Da couldn't help but look nostalgic when he heard Qin Huai ask this question, "Has your Master Huang ever told you?" Qin Huai shook his head.

Zheng Da immediately became excited and said: "Then I have to have a good talk with you!"

"My senior brother and I have known each other since we were children. Our parents were from the same company and both worked in the silk weaving factory. At that time, there were many children in the family, and my father was the only one who had a job. My mother could only do odd jobs, and life was difficult. My family of 6

brothers and sisters

, I am the 4th eldest child, so I am caught in the middle. I don’t have enough to eat every day and feel hungry. You, Master Huang, are similar. He has only three children. He is the eldest, but his grandmother has tuberculosis and needs to take medicine all year round.

The situation is worse than mine."

"It was a good job to be a master chef in a state-owned restaurant at that time. Although my master injured his face and became lame due to the war when he was young, his skills were very good. There were several state-owned restaurants in the city at that time, and my master's skills were the best.

Yes, as long as it is an important banquet

The table must be cooked by my master. When foreign guests and business leaders came, they would ask my master to cook. At that time, there were state-owned factories around here. We children in state-owned factories may not know who Guangchang is, but there is absolutely no one.

I don’t know who Master Jing is.”

"One day, my master announced that he wanted to recruit some apprentices. Xiao Qin, you don't know how sensational the news was. My master was already in his thirties at that time, not married, and even the matchmakers broke through the door without saying anything.

He. When we accepted apprentices, we only paid half

Son, my master has no children. He took on a disciple to pass on his craftsmanship to the disciple so that the disciple can take care of him until his death. My senior brother and I also went through many layers of selection and even defeated the son of the workshop director before we stood out and became the master.

His apprentice!"

Zheng Da's face glowed red as he spoke, almost like Uncle Wang recalling the past.

Qin Huai felt that Zheng Da was not stupid. He was very good at talking and talked a lot. He asked Zheng Da how Master Jing taught his disciples back then. Zheng Da talked a lot but didn't get to the point.

"Then how did Master Jing teach you and Master Huang?" Qin Huai asked. "It was the step-by-step teaching like I did today." Zheng Dada said.

"First practice basic skills, such as horse stance, hanging sandbags, lifting bricks, and practice strength. Then you can cut vegetables, knead dough, stir pots, and shake sand. My master's way of teaching his disciples is actually very traditional and luxurious. His philosophy is to first

Let the apprentice eat well, nourish his body, and be nutritious, and then he can practice his strength, eat good food, and practice his tongue."

"At that time, my senior brother and I were both very skinny boys. Master let me live in his house. I didn't learn anything for the first six months and only had to eat. I had a full bowl of white rice, and I could eat two big bowls every day.

If we don’t have enough, we eat multi-grain steamed buns, corn, and sweet potatoes. Not only do we have rice but also vegetables. Every now and then, Master will open a small stove for us to eat meat. At that time, don’t ask me to call Master. Let me just call Dad. I’m happy to call me Dad and Master.

.”

Qin Huai couldn't hold it back and laughed.

Zheng Da also said cheerfully: "Xiao Qin, don't laugh. It sounds funny, but in that situation, our master was really no different from his reborn parents."

"At that time, not only did we have enough to eat every day, but we also had new clothes for the New Year. Huang Shengli was the eldest in the family. His younger brothers and sisters all picked up his old clothes and wore them. He wore new clothes to make him feel full. I don't know how hungry I am.

Fourth child, these clothes have been passed through four hands to me. They are basically sewn on patches. I have never worn second-hand clothes, let alone new clothes. My master made me a new set of clothes during the first Chinese New Year.

When I was sleeping, I didn't even bother to wear it, so I secretly took it off and held it in my arms when I went to bed at night."

"At that time, I swore that when I became the master chef of a state-owned hotel and had a salary, I would also buy clothes for my master every Chinese New Year."

"It's a pity..." Zheng Da sighed, "I didn't become the master chef of the state-owned hotel. They looked down on me as a white-collar chef, so they let Huang Shengli become the master. I didn't buy the master's clothes for a few years. Master

At once...

"But it's okay. Although I don't have any apprentices, I have many nephews. Xiao Qin, you can ask Dong Shi and others. I didn't give the most red envelopes during the Chinese New Year that year. Huang Shengli can't compare with me. Xiao Qin, you

Don’t worry, as long as you are willing to become my teacher, your red envelope will definitely be the biggest, bigger than all of them combined!”

"Not only do we buy clothes for the New Year, we buy them every quarter. We can buy any brands. If you don't like those brands, we can also ask Gong Liang to customize them. He not only does silk business, but also sells clothes. He has his own brand.

Wear whatever you want!"

Qin Huai felt that the topic was a little off-topic, so he went back and said, "After you finish practicing the basic skills, will Master Bing teach you and Master Huang just like how you made crab roe shaomai today?"

Zheng Da nodded: "It's almost the same. My master uses the traditional method of teaching apprentices. He takes the apprentice with him to do chores in the kitchen first, and then he learns. See with your eyes first. If you can see with your eyes, you don't need to teach. If you can't see with your eyes, you don't need to teach."

If you ask again, with a master who has demonstrated it over and over again for many years, no matter how stupid a disciple is, he can lead him in."

"When you've learned enough, you can become an apprentice and start working on your own."

"When I first bought fermented steamed buns in a state-owned restaurant, I was hated by my neighbors. Everyone said that the fermented steamed buns I made were not as good as Master's. I'm not afraid to tell you that I was selling steamed buns in a state-owned restaurant during the day and secretly went home at night.

I hid in my room and cried, feeling that I had lost Master’s face.”

"My senior brother is the same. His dishes also get rave reviews."

"Actually, after thinking about it, the neighbors didn't say anything bad. Although everyone said that my craftsmanship is far inferior to the master, they still buy no less steamed buns. There are still long queues every day. It's okay to be inferior to the master.

, not to mention that at that time I was still a young boy who was not as skilled as my master, and I am still not as good as my master now."

"Sometimes I think that being a master is better than being a disciple. If the apprentice fails to live up to his expectations, others will say that there is nothing he can do about it. A famous teacher may not necessarily produce a great apprentice. If this apprentice can live up to his expectations, then he is better than his master.

Master said that there is also light on the face."
