Chapter 208 Familiar recipes


    Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan have a good plan.


    The plan is over, and Qinhuai begins making longevity noodles.


    After staying in Huang Ji for so long, making longevity noodles every morning has almost become a habit of Qinhuai. Even the days when I practice crab roe and roasted wheat the most crazy, I also make longevity noodles for Qinhuai breakfast.


    Just imagine that on a not-so-good morning, you can eat a bowl of freshly cooked hot, hand-rubbed, longevity noodles every day as soon as you arrive at the company. The side dishes are very simple, they are all light side dishes, but the soup is very mellow and the chicken soup is fragrant.


    After drinking a bowl of noodles, drink the remaining chicken soup, and then smash it with a little bit of satisfaction, and then choose to cook a few wontons according to your appetite, add seaweed or sprinkle onions.


    After this process, the mornings are not very beautiful.


    "Himmer." Dong Shi took the last sip of noodle soup, licked his mouth, and sighed in a low voice: "It would be great if Qinhuai could make longevity noodles at noon, I would definitely be able to eat two big bowls at noon!"


    Everyone in Zhiweiju did not speak, and they frantically agreed with Dong Shi''s words in their hearts.


    That’s right, that’s right, they can eat two bowls!


    You can eat now!


    Of course, it is impossible to eat two bowls. Qinhuai always makes longevity noodles according to the number of people. Guo Mingzhu had to eat it, Gong Liang told Qin Huai the day before yesterday that Qin Huai would make one more bowl for Gong Liang to pack it and take it back.


    After breakfast, everyone on Huang Ji started to work hard, except Zheng Da.


    Zheng Da came at ten o''clock.


    At this point, the guests lined up outside were about 100 meters long.


    Zheng Da slowly swayed into the kitchen and saw Huang Shengli, who was commanding the whole situation, and said happily: "The queues outside seem to be longer than yesterday. After two days of "Zhiwei" publication, this team will not be in the neighborhood next door, right?"


    Huang Shengli couldn''t help but shake his head helplessly when he saw Zheng Da''s appearance.


    Whenever he thinks his junior brother is OK and finally has the appearance of a master and has hope of accepting disciples, Zheng Da will tell him: No, no, I will not work hard, I am still the salted fish I used to be.


    Huang Shengli looked at the work every second, and gave Qin Huai the ingredients he had processed from time to time. He asked Qin Huai if he could do it, and everyone in Zhiweiju felt that Zheng Da was not stable anymore.


    Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison.


    This comparison is really too obvious.


    If you have to find faults, the only problem for people in Zhiweiju is probably that they pour tea too frequently. Qinhuai has already visited the toilet twice this morning.


    "Master Zheng." Seeing Zheng Da coming, Qin Huai put down his work and walked towards Zheng Da, "I have something to ask you."


    Zheng Da’s eyes lit up: “If you don’t ask for advice, ask, ask whatever you want!”


    "Can you make the filling of baiguo? The filling of Sixi Tangtuan."


    Zheng Da was stunned.


    There was silence, so silence made people feel embarrassed.


    Zheng Da wanted to shout with a angrily: Of course! A mere 100-fruit filling is absolutely no problem.


    But he really doesn''t.


    This question also found his blind spot in knowledge.


    Zheng Da sneered awkwardly: "I don''t know how to make Sixi Tangtuan this snack."


    “State-owned hotels were not sold at that time.”


    Qin Huai was not very disappointed. He had already guessed it. Just as he was about to say a few words, he turned around and left, Huang Shengli suddenly spoke.


    "Is Gong Liang going to eat?"


    "Yes." Qin Huai nodded, "Yesterday I asked Mr. Gong if he had any snacks he wanted to eat. Mr. Gong said that he had eaten the Sixi Tangtuan made by Master Jing on his birthday. It was very unforgettable and he really wanted to eat the Sixi Tangtuan with Baiguo stuffing again."


    "But yesterday I asked, there are fewer shops on the market that make 100-fruit stuffing, so I thought about asking Master Zheng today."


    Huang Shengli smiled: "I just knew it was him. Just listen to Gong Liang''s nonsense. He lived next to our master and ate good food since he was a child. At that time, the supplies were scarce, and the master only made many snacks and good dishes during festivals. As long as he ate it once or twice, he said it from his mouth that he hadn''t eaten it for many years, and he would never forget it for life. I want to eat it again."


    Qinhuai:…


    Gong Liang, it’s worthy of being you.


    After Huang Shengli said this, Zheng Da remembered: "When Gong Liang was talking about whether he was engaged to his wife on his birthday, his master cooked a large pot of Sixi Tangtuans. I want to eat meat stuffing, and you and Gong Liang want to eat Baiguo stuffing. As a result, those glutinous rice dumplings all looked the same. I almost broke my belly and ate three meat stuffings."


    "The winter melon sugar was not enough before making glutinous rice dumplings, so I went home and stole 5 kilograms."


    Huang Shengli nodded.


    Zheng Da sighed, "If it were that time, I would have an impression of Baiguo stuffing. Master took out all the good things in the box. How expensive are the best candied dried fruits? They were all wrapped in the dumplings. I felt sorry for me at that time. At least half of the mooncakes were distributed. I love eating Baiguo stuffing mooncakes."


    Qin Huai didn''t expect that Zheng Da and Huang Shengli had an impression of the Sixi Tangtuan that time, and quickly asked: "Master Zheng, do you remember the ingredients of the Baiguo stuffing that time?"


    It is much easier to know the specific ingredients. Qinhuai believes that the methods of making the fillings with 100 fruits must have their own advantages, but overall they are very different. If you know the ingredients, you don’t have to ask people all the way to Zhiweiju. He grabbed Zheng Siyuan and studied them together and might be able to do it. If he really can’t do it, Zheng Da will still do it.


    Although Zheng Da doesn’t know, he can also study it.


    "I don''t know." Zheng Da shook his head honestly, "That was a lot of years ago. At that time, I was still making buns in a state-owned restaurant. I couldn''t make such expensive fillings."


    Qinhuai was a little disappointed.


    "I remember." Huang Shengli smiled, "Although I can''t make Baifruit stuffing, I still remember the recipe for Baifruit stuffing back then."


    Qinhuai:!


    "I prepared the ingredients for making Sixi Tangtuan that year. I also helped my master prepare the ingredients in the kitchen when making the Tangtuan. It is normal for Zheng Da to remember it, but I remember it very clearly." After that, Huang Shengli looked at Zheng Da faintly and smiled, everything was silent.


    Zheng Da:…


    Is it his hallucination? Why did he feel that his senior brother''s aggressiveness has increased day by day in the past few months?


    "Since Xiao Qin, you want to study tangtuans, then the practice of heat training in the afternoon will be delayed by an hour and a half. You first study the filling of 100 fruits, and then follow me to practice heat."


    "Thank you, Master Huang."


    "It''s nothing. After all, you are a chef in the white house. It''s a good thing to be willing to study new dim sum. I also have Sixi Tangtuans that have not eaten 100-fruit stuffing for many years. Zheng Da is not a person who likes to study this kind of dim sum. If you and Siyuan can really study it, I can enjoy the joy."


    After saying that, Huang Shengli looked straight at Zheng Da, and without saying a word, he looked at him.


    Zheng Da:?


    Zheng Da:…


    Zheng Da:.


    Zheng Da:!


    Zheng Da realized.


    "What do I mean that I don''t like to study this kind of dim sum? I like to study new dim sum the most now! Starting this afternoon, I will study with you. Siyuan has only been making dim sum for many years, and I don''t have any experience! He has never liked to eat mooncakes with 100 and 500 fillings since he was a child. Unlike me, I loved to eat mooncakes with 100 fillings at that time."


    Qin Huai smiled and said to Zheng Da, "Then I will work hard from today on Master Zheng to work overtime with us in the afternoon."


    Zheng Da was so happy that he was just happy: "No, no hard work."


    Qin Huai went back to continue working. Huang Shengli glanced at Zheng Da, who showed no sign of wanting to work, and whispered: "You come early in the future."


    "Even Xiao Qin''s breakfast is not enough every day. You know, you are too lazy to get up early and don''t want to come over, and you don''t know, you think you look down on Xiao Qin''s skills and don''t bother to eat it."


    Zheng Da:?


    Zheng Da felt that it was time to buy a house in the opposite community.


    I live too far and I really don’t want to get up in the morning.


    .


    With the help of Zhiweiju and his kings, the white tables in the kitchen were continuously out of the pot, and the neighbors lined up outside to rush to tell each other.


    There are more snacks today than yesterday. Neighbors who are still hesitating come and buy them quickly. I might be able to wait for two rounds of luck!


    Although there are many customers queuing up to buy snacks at Huangji''s door, they have the patience to queue from early morning to noon, just to buy a few more buns and steamed buns, and are mainly neighbors who have retired and have nothing to do.


    .


    "Qinhuai, have you heard that? Today, the guests lined up outside had quarrels of 5 more planes, two more planes than yesterday. Leader Cao decided to launch an online queue business, the kind that passes the number and rearranges."


    During lunch, Dong Shi happily held a bowl and shared the melons he had just eaten with Qinhuai. He saw that Qinhuai''s lunch at noon this day was actually the eight-treasure duck made by Huang Shengli, and rubbed it with chopsticks.


    Qinhuai didn''t listen much.


    He is studying the prescription that Huang Shengli just gave him.


    Huang Shengli''s prescription is handwritten. After so many years, Huang Shengli only remembers all kinds of ingredients and approximate dosages, and no matter how detailed it is, he can''t remember it clearly.


    According to this recipe, Jiang Wei’s current version of Baiguo stuffed glutinous rice dumplings is luxurious.


    Dried apples, dried osmanthus, raisins, dried apricots, jujube paste, longan meat, peach jerky, honey olives, plums, honey kumquats, hawthorn...


    Walnut kernels, almonds, peanut kernels, melon seed kernels, sesame seeds, lotus seeds, hazelnuts, cashew nuts...


    Sugar is made from winter melon sugar and lard.


    The ingredients are very rich, so rich that it is a bit too much.


    When Qin Huai saw this recipe, his first reaction was to add so many nuts and dried fruits. Can people who eat glutinous rice dumplings eat it?


    Even if this kind of filling is called Baiguo stuffing, you can''t really add so much.


    and…


    For some reason, Qin Huai thought these nuts and dried fruits looked very familiar, and seemed to have seen this combination somewhere.


    Qin Huai is thinking.


    He doesn''t like to eat dried fruits normally.


    Luo Luo doesn’t like to eat either.


    Even during the Chinese New Year, the Qin family doesn’t buy dried fruits much, and they won’t buy so many fancy ones when buying nuts. They mainly buy melon seeds and peanuts, and the basic style is not wrong.


    Who has eaten so many kinds of nuts and dried fruits in his memory?


    etc.


    Really!


    Crazy Miss!


    When the crazy lady was eating and drinking in Peking, she ate and took everything in Taifenglou every day, and her pockets were full of candied fruits and dried fruits. As a new restaurant that wants to make a name for itself in Peking, Taifenglou prepares candied fruits and dried fruits for customers.


    Qin Huai vaguely remembers that if you dine in, you will have ice under the luxurious candied fruit and dried fruit trays, and you will also be placed in a tray to shape them. Qin Huai quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks, ran to another small stove and asked Zheng Da: "Master Zheng, how much snacks did Master Jing make with a hundred-fruit filling before?"


    Dong Shi:?


    Is the gossip he just obtained so unattractive?


    Zheng Da was eating with a bowl, but when Qin Huai asked this, he almost spit out the food in his mouth and answered Qin Huai''s questions.


    "It''s rare." Huang Shengli helped Zheng Da answer, "In my memory, Master has made glutinous rice dumplings with 100-fruit fillings two or three times, and made mooncakes once. Our state-owned restaurants basically do not sell this type of snack, and Master doesn''t make much."


    When Huang Shengli said this, Qin Huai suddenly had a ridiculous guess.


    In fact, Jiang Weijin is not very good at making 100-fruit stuffing.


    His recipe is completely based on the dried fruit and nut platters from Taifenglou that year.


    Jiang Weijin is Jiang Chengde''s son and must have worked as a chef or a chef in Taifeng Building. Because I don’t know how to make 100-fruit stuffing, I put a 100-fruit stuffing with very rich ingredients according to the recipe of the ingredients I am familiar with.


    At the same time, because I am not very good at doing it, I basically don’t do it.


    As for why Huang Shengli and others couldn''t eat any problems, they thought that Jiang Weijin''s dim sum with 100-fruit fillings were particularly delicious, which was entirely because Jiang Weijin''s skill points were high enough. Like Jiang Weiming, the desserts invented are still delicious.


    If this is the filling of the glutinous rice dumpling that Gong Liang wanted to eat, Qin Huai would probably know how to try it.


    Random trial.


    Qin Huai is very good at this method of studying dishes.


    Freely play, try whatever you want.


    Take the Sixi Dumplings as an example. Haven’t everyone in Huang Ji’s kitchen eaten the authentic Sixi Dumplings? Don’t they know that the Sixi Dumplings made by Qinhuai are different from the serious Sixi Dumplings, but no one raised any objections.


    Because it tastes delicious, and it does look like Sixi Dumplings.


    For dishes, delicious food is the best way.


    The chef who made the Sixi Dumplings yesterday made the serious Sixi Dumplings, but he was not as delicious as Qinhuai.


    In Huang Ji, the four-wish dumplings in Qinhuai are the orthodox four-wish dumplings.


    Qin Huai realized that he went back to have a meal. After the meal, he took the prescription and happily told Zheng Siyuan about his trial ideas.


    After Zheng Siyuan knocked out several question marks, he said that you were happy.


    Since Qin Huai made such a decision, there must be his reason.


    In this way, Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan began a refreshing exercise of fillings.


    Huang Anyao found a supplier to deliver excellent candied fruits and nuts according to the list, providing solid logistical support for Qinhuai and Zheng Siyuan''s exercises.


    As for the production method, Qinhuai found several types online.


    Some of the ingredients need to be chopped into pieces, poured in brandy and soaked until soft, then chopped all the other ingredients, add them in turn and stir them without cooking. Finally, stir them into a state that can be pinched into a ball and can be used as filling.


    Some people need to boil sugar first, boil the winter melon sugar, white sugar, lard and maltose into syrup, and then chop the remaining ingredients into pieces and stir to make a filling.


    Some of them are very simple and crude. The fried noodles, sugar, oil, chopped dried fruit and nuts are all mixed together, and the filling is done after mixing.


    Considering that Huang Shengli''s memory had the steps to boil sugar, Qin Huai prefers the second one, but for the sake of safety, Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan tried all three methods.


    Then I overturned the car three times without any accident.


    Such rich ingredients, such sweet dried fruit, such a large amount of winter melon candy, plus lard boiled with winter melon candy.


    The most important thing is that the filling must be wrapped in the glutinous rice ball and put into the pot and cooked.


    The smell of a car is imagined.


    Sweet and greasy. Other dishes pursue fat but not greasy. The dumplings made by Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan this time are super sweet and greasy.


    Zheng Siyuan tasted the glutinous rice dumpling he cooked, and his face turned green.


    Maybe Zheng Siyuan has never crossed such a big car since he didn''t have to learn craftsmanship with his own father and Huang Shengli.


    Qinhuai has repaired the bug that Zheng Siyuan has not been super overturned for many years.


    "Are you sure this method can be tried?" Zheng Siyuan began to doubt life.


    "Of course." Qin Huai was full of confidence and took notes on the memo with his mobile phone.


    "This is our first attempt, and it is normal to make this. You see, after today''s failure, we have found that the amount of winter melon candy is significantly increased, and the taste of dried apricots is very unremarkable inside, which should be covered by some kind of ingredients."


    "The olives purchased by Huang Anyao''s supplier are not good enough. I''ll ask him to change a batch of better tomorrow."


    "When boiling sugar, you can add lard boldly. When we made it, we were still a little too astringent."


    "The amount of sesame seeds is also relatively small. Have you noticed that although the glutinous rice dumplings are cooked, the sesame seeds can still taste the aroma of roasted goods when mixed in them."


    "I have put too many melon seed kernels, and I can only eat the taste of melon seeds from the third batch."


    Zheng Siyuan:...You can still taste melon seeds. The third batch of glutinous rice dumplings were cooked and he just wanted to vomit.


    Zheng Siyuan found that he was indeed far inferior to Qin Huai when it comes to trying out the car.


    "Do you have any ideas here?" Qin Huai asked.


    Zheng Siyuan thought for a while, picked up the bowl with a look of death and took a bite of the dumpling.


    "I think we can ask Tan Wei''an first." Zheng Siyuan said, pointing to Tan Wei''an who was next to the cooking table and looked at the two of them in confusion from time to time.


    "When we made the 100-fruit stuffing, he kept looking at us. From his eyes and expressions, I can probably tell that he can make 100-fruit stuffing."


    Qinhuai:!


    Qin Huai immediately looked at Tan Wei''an. Just when he wanted to join their Baifruit Fillet trial team, Qin Huai suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a capable general missing in their team.


    Where has Zheng Da been?


    He is the backbone of the team and has the highest cooking skills!


    Although he is stupid, his cooking skills are absolutely unquestionable.


    "Where is your dad?" Qin Huai asked.


    "Oh, he." Zheng Siyuan said numbly, "He ran away after tasting the first gnocchi."


    "I guess he may think that our method cannot be tested, or he may not want to try it like this for a month and eat such a bad glutinous rice dumpling for a month."


    "As expected, he should go home to study how to make the filling."


    Qinhuai:…


    Is it so unpalatable?


    Qin Huai took a bite.


    It''s really unpalatable.


    But this is how it is to try the dishes. First match the most outrageous combination, and then modify it bit by bit.


    If you try it with a conservative method from the beginning, you will not be able to find the core problem at all.


    Qin Huai took another bite.


    Well, you can’t taste hazelnuts at all. Such expensive nuts cannot taste the taste, because there must be something wrong with the combination.


    Qin Huai took another bite.


    Sorry, it''s too bad and I don''t want to eat it anymore.


    At this moment, Qin Huai missed Qin Luo very much.


    If only it was fallen in.


    Although Qin Luo''s taste is not as good as Qin Huai, Qin Luo can eat it, is willing to eat it, and is willing to endure hardships.


    When Qinhuai tried dishes before, Qin Luo ate these unpalatable snacks that were exploding in the early stage.


    Basically, Qin Luo can obviously eat something wrong, which is something that must be modified.


    Qinhuai calculated the days.


    Qin Luo actually has 20 days off.


    Private schools are on vacation very late.


    Qin Huai sighed deeply.


    "What''s wrong?" Zheng Siyuan asked. He thought Qin Huai was hit by the unpalatable snacks he made.


    "It''s nothing, I just want to be sad."


    "When I tried dim sum, these unpalatable snacks were all eaten."


    Zheng Siyuan:…


    For some reason, Zheng Siyuan suddenly felt that Qin Luo was not easy either.


    Zheng Siyuan looked at the dumplings in the bowl and felt that the years had been so hard.


    When Qin Luo comes on the winter vacation, his elder brother will definitely make her the best fresh meat mooncakes.
