Chapter 58 Qu Jing(1/2)
After hanging up the phone, Qin Huai told Zheng Da and Zheng Siyuan about his conjecture. They both thought it was reasonable. Zheng Da looked as if he had just woken up from a dream and wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
Ouch, why didn’t you come up with such a wonderful idea?
Zheng Da looked at the honey jar on the kitchen counter with tears in his eyes. If the biggest problem with Sophora japonica steamed buns really lies in the honey, and this problem was discovered and solved by himself, wouldn't the apprentice accept it?
What should I do now? It’s very embarrassing now.
Not only did he not show his hand in front of his future apprentice, but he also showed his hand to his future apprentice.
It's so annoying, and I even want to accept Qin Huai as my disciple.
It's so annoying that it's even harder to accept Qin Huai as his disciple.
Zheng Da had mixed feelings in his heart, but Zheng Siyuan's thoughts were much simpler.
"If the problem lies in the honey, it would be much easier to handle." Zheng Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "The problem will be solved when we get qualified honey."
He can also go back to Suzhou and continue making dim sum.
Although Yunzhong Canteen is also good, the regular customers are very interesting, and the uncles and aunts will stuff themselves fruits, milk tea, snacks, and the kitchen is large and clean. Qin Huai is also a good friend with good cooking skills, stable personality, and interesting conversation, but
Zheng Siyuan still prefers pastry shops in Suzhou.
After being out of business for half a month, many regular customers sent him messages asking if he was quitting.
Compared with the current busy life of making wontons in the morning, making snacks in the morning, and making steamed buns in the afternoon, Zheng Siyuan still prefers the leisurely days of making snacks in the morning and selling them at noon and afternoon.
.
As expected, Grandma Ding gave Qin Huai an answer that night.
Purely natural Sophora nectar, available!
It just takes a while to mail it over. It won't arrive tomorrow, but it should arrive in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Grandma Ding swore that she would go to the courier terminal early the day after tomorrow and squat down, and when she got the sophora nectar, she would bring it to Qin Huai.
Qin Huai felt that this was too much trouble, so Grandma Ding didn't have to make a special trip. He could just wait for the courier to deliver it at Yunzhong Canteen.
Grandma Ding firmly said no, she must go and get it in person. If she didn’t go in person, she would be sorry for the big bag of hot fermented rice buns.
It’s hard to reject such kindness.
Qin Huai could only agree, after all, he had something to do in the morning the day after tomorrow.
The morning after tomorrow is the day to visit Luo Jun's house.
Very critical.
This means that Qin Huai will finally have face-to-face contact with the target of his side mission.
Qin Huai had prepared a lot for this contact.
Five-flower tea, seven-flavor dampness-removing tea, three flavors of tangerine peel tea, Luo Han Guo tea, liver-clearing and eyesight-clearing tea...
The above is the list of herbal teas made by Qin Huai on the second day.
These days, the herbal teas in Yunzhong Canteen, except for tangerine peel tea, are basically cooked by Qin Luo and Zhao Rong. Qin Huai rarely cooked herbal tea at home before. He was afraid that the herbal tea he cooked would not be authentic, so he specially practiced it a day in advance.
, sales of hand-made lemon tea in the canteen have doubled.
Zheng Siyuan, who had never drunk herbal tea before, took a sip of the seven-flavor dehumidification tea and his face turned green.
Zheng Da escaped because of the strike.
The reason for Zheng Da's strike was also very simple. He went back last night and thought about whether honey might be the key to the overturn of Sophora Flower Buns. The more he thought about it, the more he thought it must be honey, and he immediately started thinking about emo.
In addition, the pure natural locust nectar did not arrive so soon, and Zheng Da himself did not like making snacks very much, so he simply went on strike for a day and left them in ruins.
The reason for using it is that there are things to deal with at the factory.
"Siyuan, can you help me make some delicious snacks suitable for the elderly? I will bring them over when I visit the elderly tomorrow morning." In order to give Luo Jun a perfect first impression, Qin Huai began to mobilize reinforcements.
Zheng Siyuan said there was no problem.
His pastry shop is opened at the entrance of the community, and the customers are basically the elderly and children. Making this kind of pastry is his area of expertise.
Since Qin Huai specifically told him, Zheng Siyuan planned to give these pastries more shapes to make them look more pleasing to the eye.
In the past half month, Zheng Siyuan finally understood that Qin Huai was indeed from a pure wild background. He had no master to teach him, and he learned a lot and miscellaneous things. Basically, he learned what he acted in TV dramas and what Qin Luo wanted to eat.
The Southern sect, the Northern sect, the Su sect, the Beijing sect, the Yunnan sect, the Guang sect... none of them exist in Qinhuai. If his dim sum is to be said to be of any sect, it must be the Luo sect.
They are all Qin Luo's favorite food.
They are all eaten by the children and go bankrupt.
At the same time, Zheng Siyuan also discovered that Qin Huai did not style dim sum at all.
Generally speaking, styling is an integral part of dim sum.
It may not have any impact on the taste, but it can make the dessert look better and deserve to be more expensive when sold.
However, Zheng Siyuan soon discovered that Qin Huai did not need to style the dim sum.
Because his diners are really quite wealthy.
Grandpas and aunties never ask the price when eating new products. They just scan the QR code when they turn on their mobile phones. The pricing of dim sum at Yunzhong Canteen is also very confusing. The five-ding bag is a bit cheap, and the three-ding bag is ridiculously expensive, but everyone seems to accept it.
In Yunzhong Canteen, even if it is seven-flavor dampness-removing tea, as long as it is brewed by Qin Huai himself, diners can drink it with gritted teeth.
Zheng Siyuan looked at the diners sitting in the lobby, grinning, determined to drink herbal tea as if they were going to die, and then looked at Qin Luo who was standing at the window, almost smashing the lemon into sparks, and said that it was really not very good.
Understand this world.
Sure enough, the outside world is still too complicated, so he should go home and open his own pastry shop.
Anyway.
Zheng Siyuan took a bite of the fermented steamed bun made by Qin Huai.
Soft, slightly sweet, and elastic. You can't taste the smell of wine, but you can smell the faint aroma of wine. The aroma of rice wine and the aroma of steamed buns are intertwined, and the wonderful taste spreads from the tip of the tongue to the tip of the nose.
This is a taste he can't make.
His father is probably only half a catty.
After all, his father hasn't made any serious dim sum for many years. He doesn't practice on weekdays, and his Bai An Kungfu has not even declined, but it can be said that there has been no progress in decades.
It’s difficult.
Zheng Siyuan sighed in his heart.
His father's craftsmanship was not qualified for him to be accepted as his apprentice.
.
Qin Huai is tasting the herbal tea he made.
If you want to grade the herbal tea he brewed, it would probably be: will die, can die, does not want to die, tastes terrible, tastes terrible, and can drink.
The only thing I can drink is tangerine peel tea.
It can only be said that Mr. Luo Junluo still has the most basic aesthetics, and the herbal teas specified in the mission are the most delicious.
But considering Uncle Luo's temper.
Qin Huai thought for a while and decided to remove the seven-flavor dampness-removing tea.
He plans to bring a few more herbal teas tomorrow, firstly so that the tangerine peel tea will not look so obtrusive among them, and secondly, Uncle Luo Junluo is probably a herbal tea drinker, so it would be a good idea to bring a few more classic ones.
Qin Huai drank the hand-made lemon tea in front of him in one gulp and decided to take this with him.
Now that I’m 92, it’s time to try new era herbal tea.
At 9:30 in the morning of the second day, Qin Huai went to the neighborhood committee to gather with large and small bags.
Qin Huai prepared many kinds of gifts.
Beverages are divided into ice drinks and hot drinks. Ice drinks include hand-made lemon tea and mung bean soup, while hot drinks include various herbal teas.
There are two gift boxes for snacks. One box contains various snacks from the north and south made by Qin Huai himself: honey three swords, donkey rolling, pea yellow, aiwowo, Dingsheng cake, jujube cake, butterfly cake, carrot cake, chrysanthemum cake,
Mala cake...everything you want.
The other box is a box of snacks made by Zheng Siyuan himself. They are basically Su-style snacks, mainly suitable for the elderly. In order to prevent Mr. Luo's taste from going off the beaten path, Zheng Siyuan also prepared shortbread and fresh meat.
Specialty snacks such as moon cakes are specially designed to make the uncle enjoy eating them.
In addition to the dim sum gift box, Qin Huai also prepared a box of pre-made dishes: Wu Ding Bao, San Ding Bao, Bean Paste Bao and Sixi Dumplings. He prepared 25 of each, adding up to exactly 100. They can be stored in the freezer.
, steamed and ready to eat.
Of course, fruits are also essential.
In order to prove his sincerity to Uncle Luo, Qin Huai went to the most expensive international supermarket nearby and picked out the two most expensive fruit baskets. He also brought the imported high-priced fruits that Ouyang had received from his parents two days ago.
, focusing on a product that only needs to be expensive, not the right one.
Qin Huai's rich gifts shocked everyone who participated in the condolences.
Lao Luo, who was in charge of taking photos, counted all the gifts, took the camera and retreated to the corner, whispering to Ouyang: "Why didn't Master Xiao Qin prepare the seven-flavor dehumidifying tea?"
"What? There are so many herbal teas but there is no seven-flavor dampness-removing tea. Lao Luo, did you read it wrong?" Xiao Qian, who was responsible for writing the article, was shocked.
"That's right, I clicked on them all."
