Chapter 204 The unreliable melon(1/2)
After finishing the meal, Gong Baozhu and Guo Mingzhu almost ate themselves up like waiters in the sea, frantically pouring water for Qin Huai. They didn't even take two bites of Qin Huai's food, and Huang Ji drank a lot of free tea.
After Qin Huai ate, he wondered if this was a plan by the mother and daughter to make him eat less.
Huang Shengli cooked a total of 8 dishes, and the portions were not small. There were only 6 people at Qin Huai's table, so naturally they couldn't finish them all.
Adhering to the principle of never wasting anything, the Gong family enthusiastically packed even the vegetable soup. Gong Baozhu and Guo Mingzhu almost turned against each other in order to grab the ownership of Da Zhu Gansi.
After Gong Liang finished eating, he went to the kitchen door to discuss with Huang Shengli in detail the details of tomorrow's three-head banquet. Xiao Liu tried to break up the fight, but unfortunately he was involved in the dispute over the dish distribution with the boss's family. Gong Baozhu and Guo Mingzhu asked Xiao Liu to be fair.
When they divided the dried shredded dishes fairly, Xiao Liu frantically wanted to find Shaodong's family to help, but found that Gong Liye, the Shaodong's family, had already gone to the checkout and fled, so he could only bite the bullet and share the dishes.
As for Qinhuai.
After watching this wonderful show, he quietly left, going back to the kitchen to chat and start cooking.
As a result, he was stopped by Gong Liye in a flash when he was halfway through.
"Qin...Master Qin." Gong Liye secretly gave Qin Huai a small can of tea with a little embarrassment, "I just heard from my dad that you started drinking tea recently. This is a good tea I bought some time ago. If you like it,
Drink, I still have some over there and I’ll send them to you in a while.”
Qin Huai accepted the tea leaves and looked at Gong Liye, waiting for what he would say next.
Qin Huai and Gong Liye basically had no contact and only met twice. Giving gifts was Gong Liang's job, and now that Gong Liye had taken his father's job away, he must have something to say.
"I have another unwelcome favor."
"Can you make white sugar cakes? When I was a child, I often ate the white sugar cakes sold by an old lady who set up a stall in front of the school. When I grew up, I never tasted that kind of cake again. I know that you are good at your craftsmanship, so I want to treat you to it.
…”
No game prompt sounds.
This shows that Gong Liye is most likely a 100% pure person.
"I can make sugar cakes. Add me on WeChat and let me know when you are free. I will make it in advance." Qin Huai agreed immediately.
Not only did Gong Liye forget Qin Huai, but he also knew how to make such simple and everyday pastries.
When Qin Luo was very young, he loved to eat simple pastries like white sugar cake. Later, when Qin Luo grew up, he started drooling over palace dramas. The white sugar cake was relegated to the cold palace by Qin Luo. Qin Huai had not made sugar cake for many years.
Too bad.
Just take it out and practice.
If it's delicious, I'll arrange it for Xu Cheng tomorrow.
In the past two days, Qin Huai made Xu Cheng some palace snacks that Qin Luo once loved. They had fancy names and simple looks. It was time to make Xu Cheng some simple snacks with simple names and simple looks.
When Qin Huai returned to the kitchen, he was surprised to find that the six people at Zhiweiju were still working.
Work voluntarily and proactively.
Seeing that Qin Huai was back, the helper who had been helping Qin Huai all morning poured tea on his own initiative, and then returned to the kitchen table to continue kneading dough.
"What's going on?" Qin Huai asked Dong Shi, who was standing outside the warehouse eavesdropping on Gong Liang and Huang Shengli's speech.
"Mr. Gong wants to eat bigger pig faces." Dong Shi said.
"I'm not asking about this, I'm asking about that." Qin Huai held the teacup in his left hand and pointed at the people working overtime with his right hand.
"Oh, you're talking about Guli and the others, Zhiweiju's are all like this." Dong Shi glanced at the white case area, thought of something at that time, and lowered his voice, "I have a Zhiweiju melon here, but it's not true, do you want to eat it?
?”
"Eat!" Qin Huai said it didn't matter whether it was true or not, he could make his own judgment.
"Gu Li and the others were squeezed out this time." Dong Shi said, "Master Tan has a total of 5 direct disciples. Tan Wei'an is the third senior brother and Gu Li is the junior junior brother."
"Master Tan could no longer cook three or four years before his death. In the last year, he was lying in the hospital. As soon as Master Tan left, his first and second apprentices left Zhiweiju and went to other restaurants.
The fourth disciple also left last year, and now only Tan Wei'an and Gu Li are left."
"Actually, this rumor has always been there, and this time it was directly confirmed. Look at the six people who came this time. Except for Gu Li and Tan Wei'an, the others are ordinary apprentices. They don't even have masters. Isn't it certain that they will be excluded?"
"Then why couldn't it be that Tan Wei'an wanted to help because of the good relationship between Master Zheng and Master Tan, so he took the initiative to invite Miao to help?" Qin Huai asked.
Qin Huai asked Dong Shi this question directly. Dong Shi thought about it and felt it made sense, so he nodded.
"I also think this possibility is relatively high. Zhiweiju hires so many chefs every year and produces so many chefs. If Master Tan is no longer here, it is normal for his disciples to go out to develop their careers."
"It's okay to exclude Guli. Tan Wei'an is Master Tan's grandson. How can he exclude Tan Wei'an too? This melon must be a fake melon. I'll talk to the melon eating group later." Dong Shi said as he was about to take it out.
cell phone.
"Why is it okay to exclude Guli? Is Guli often excluded? In fact, I found it very strange in the morning. Logically speaking, Tan Wei'an is the one with the best cooking skills and the highest seniority among the six people, and he is also the grandson of Master Tan.
, Theoretically speaking, he should be the most well-known. But I feel like a lot of people’s attention is focused on Guli, and the first thing they see is Guli.”
"What's wrong with Gu Li? Is he famous?" Qin Huai asked.
Only then did Dong Shi realize that Qin Huai, as a pure wild man, did not know many of the facts generally recognized in the cooking circle, as well as what everyone considered common sense.
Dong Shi immediately started to popularize science.
As Tan Wenyan's last disciple, Gu Li is also Tan Wenyan's most famous disciple. The reason why he is famous is not because of his talent, but because he is clumsy enough.
Speaking of which, Gu Li also comes from a family of culinary arts. His father is the chef of Guanhe Tower, and is also a famous red case master in Suzhou. He is ranked 67th on the celebrity chef list. His mother is a white case chef and has not been listed on the list of famous chefs.
Although she is a chef, she is also famous in the Jiangnan area as a rare female chef.
Normally, people of this background would get scripts written by young geniuses like Zheng Siyuan, or almost scripts written by young masters like Huang Anyao.
But Guli happened to be a combination of these two people.
He is not very talented, but he loves cooking and insists on taking the path of Bai An. His parents have no choice but to use their connections to send their son to Zhiweiju through the back door.
In Zhiweiju, a place where even a brick can smash out several famous criminal geniuses in a certain place, Gu Li, who has a mediocre talent, is directly set off as a super poor student, and he is also a poor student with connections.
It was such a poor student who was spotted by Master Tan Wenyan, who devoted his life to studying ancient dim sum and restoring the long-lost dim sum recipes, and accepted him as a close disciple.
"To be honest, Gu Li's talent is famous in the cooking circle. As long as he is a disciple of a famous teacher, everyone knows about it, whether he is a red case or a white case. But he just has a poor talent, and you can't throw all the dirt on him.
Po, in the past few years there have been rumors that his parents gave him a back door, so Master Tan reluctantly accepted him as a closed disciple."
"It's said that Master Tan was reluctant to take him on, so he never taught him techniques and let him lay the basics. When newbies were learning the basics, he was laying the foundations. After they finished the basics and started to learn the techniques, he was still practicing.
Base."
"This is simply made up out of nothing. Anyone with any brains knows that an apprentice is the face of a master. Especially a master who has been famous for a long time like Master Tan will never accept an apprentice and then delay it for such ridiculous reasons.
People."
"However, it is basically a fact that Gu Li practiced for many years after he was accepted as a disciple by Master Tan. It is basically difficult to find a second person with worse talent than him among the disciples of famous teachers. As time goes by, he became famous, and it is not
Any good reputation is basically due to ridiculing him and looking down upon him."
"Actually, if he could have been born more than ten years earlier, the situation might not be so bad. A year or two after Guli finished practicing the basic skills, Master Tan's health was not very good. He didn't learn much. After Master Tan left, he should be
Tan Wei'an taught him."
"The way Zhiweiju is, if you have a master, you can learn from the master. If you don't have a master, you can only look here and there and join in. While others are teaching their disciples, they can stand far away and watch and learn."
"Gu Li's situation now is not as good as those without a master. At least he can stand in the corner and watch openly. It would be too embarrassing for him to stand in the corner and watch like an ordinary apprentice, but Master Tan has passed away."
"As far as I know, Tan Wei'an's craftsmanship is only average. What my senior brother taught me is not as good as my master. There are many masters in Zhiweiju who are real masters."
"If Gu Li was a genius, those masters would definitely teach him enthusiastically and proactively, but he is not."
Dong Shi said no more.
Qin Huai understood.
Gu Li's current situation is that although he comes from a famous family and is still a direct disciple of a large sect, his master has passed away and he has not learned much about his skills. He has status and seniority but no strength, so he can easily be laughed at behind his back.
This is a perfect template for a counterattack protagonist in a fairy tale!
"Master Tan is right to let him practice the basics for many years." Qin Huai said, "If he is not talented, he can only practice the basic skills as solidly as possible, so that when he practices other dim sum in the future, he will be able to master everything.
.”
"Is that so?" Dong Shi didn't quite understand, and felt that Qin Huai must be right since he said that.
"Then should I also practice my basic skills? Master always scolds me for not having solid basic skills."
Qin Huai: ...You should first learn to close your mouth when chopping vegetables and don't get distracted by chatting.
Dong Shi wanted to say something more. Huang Shengli and Gong Liang had already discussed the details of the three-headed banquet in the warehouse. Gong Liang walked out with satisfaction and saw Qin Huai at the door of the warehouse. He said enthusiastically:
"Master Xiao Qin, are you free in the evening? I'll visit your house around 7 o'clock and bring you some cans of good tea."
Qin Huai thought to himself that Gong Liang and his son had the same idea of giving gifts, and nodded: "I plan to try making Sixi Rice Balls at home tonight. I will definitely be at home at 7 o'clock."
Gong Liang was moved again on the spot and even wanted to bring back the tea leaves that he had given to Huang Shengli last month and give them to Qin Huai.
"Xiao Qin, you rest for another half an hour. We will start practicing the fire in half an hour." Huang Shengli said with a smile.
"Okay, Master Huang."
After Huang Shengli finished speaking, he went out. Qin Huai guessed that he went to the bone setting shop next door for 20 minutes of light massage.
Dong Shi wanted to talk to Qin Huai about some more gossip, but Qin Huai was more interested in Gu Li, the protagonist of the gossip he just heard, and strolled to Gu Li with a tea cup.
Guli is making wishful rolls.
