The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 307: Are you going to City A to learn how to make mung bean cakes?

Pei Xing and Li Hua, who didn't know what mung bean cake was, were concentrating on eating mung bean paste. While eating, their brains were working rapidly to organize words. They were waiting for Qin Huai to ask them how the mung bean paste tasted, and then they would give a perfect eating experience.

Unfortunately, Qin Huai had no intention of asking this question.

Because there is a more exaggerated one next to them.

Peaceful and carefree.

An Youyou has almost become a loyal believer of mung bean paste.

Not only did she make exclamations that sounded like movie lines, her expressions were also very exaggerated. Surprise, happiness, praise, intoxication, and falling in love with mung bean paste and many other complex emotions flashed across her face. If she were the heroine of a food movie, her acting skills alone would be enough to win the Best Newcomer Award that year.

An Youyou has already tasted five plates.

As a qualified worker, An Youyou knows that this is not the way to taste food. But as a person with a sense of taste and who loves mung bean cakes, An Youyou thinks that in many cases, you don't have to care about so many reasons, just eat it first.

Qin Huai watched An Youyou taste plate after plate. When An Youyou tasted the sixth plate, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you feel sick of it?"

Although An Youyou tried many dishes, the amount of mung bean paste in each dish was not much. The mung bean paste was just stir-fried out of the pan and was in a loose and uncompacted state. With An Youyou's appetite, it was impossible to be full with just six dishes.

An Youyou is at the age of growing up and can eat a lot.

But won’t she get tired of it?
Even if the mung bean cake made by Qinhuai is not sweet, it is still a cake, fried with plenty of butter and sugar, and is rich in fat and sugar.

"Not greasy, super delicious!" An Youyou exclaimed, "Master Qin, the mung bean cake you made is much more delicious than the ones sold outside!"

"There is a bakery at the entrance of my community that also sells mung bean cakes. They sell them by the pound, 25 yuan for half a pound. It's cheap but not delicious at all."

"The mung bean cake tastes oily and greasy. After you bite it into pieces and hold it in your mouth, it feels powdery and numb. After eating a piece, your mouth is full of residue and you have to rinse your mouth out. The most important thing is that it has no mung bean taste at all. After eating a piece, it tastes so sweet."

Hearing what An Youyou said, Qin Huai could probably guess how the mung bean cakes in that bakery were made. The owner probably used relatively inferior mung bean powder, powdered sugar, and vegetable oil to save costs. In addition, his craftsmanship was not good, and he did not control the heat well when frying, making the mung bean cakes, which were already cut corners, look more like a mixture of sugar and oil, and the extremely cheap ones mixed with a lot of starch.

Making dim sum is like this. The chef's skills are one aspect, and the quality of the ingredients is another. Good dim sum must be made with good ingredients and good skills. If the ingredients are not good, no matter how good the chef's skills are, he can only end up in a situation where a good cook has no rice to cook.

Qin Huai felt relieved when he heard An Youyou say this. An Youyou is not a professional chef, nor a professional food critic, but she is a professional worker, and a worker with little money.

Qinhuai’s mung bean cake was originally prepared for customers like An Youyou.

It is prepared for guests who have a limited budget, are busy at work, but want to have some cheap and delicious snacks to relieve the stress of a day's work.

Qin Huai smiled and said, "If you like to eat it, don't eat the mud. Now there is no mold pressed into mung bean mud. After it is removed from the mold, put it in the refrigerator to chill for a while before eating. It also has a unique flavor."

"If you like it, take one home when you get off work. I'll tell Huang Xi later that starting today, every employee at Yunzhong Canteen can take a portion of iced mung bean cake home after get off work, as an employee benefit."

"Thank you, Master Qin!"

After frying the mung bean paste, the subsequent work is no longer Qinhuai's job. Whether it is pressing the film, demoulding or sending the formed mung bean cake to the refrigerator for cooling, it is the work of the helper.

Master Qin, who is very good at arranging work for helpers, started to make four-happiness dumplings.

At this point, someone may ask, why is the production process of Sixi Tangtuan ranked before that of Jiuniang Mantou and Sanding Bao? Is it because Sixi Tangtuan has a high profit margin?
No, because it’s almost time for dinner.

The hungry diners at the Yunzhong Canteen may not have three-diced buns and fermented glutinous rice steamed buns for lunch, but they cannot miss a bowl of hot four-happiness dumplings.

The thoughtful Master Qin will make sure to pack enough four-happiness dumplings before 12 o'clock so that there is sufficient funds for the office workers who have worked all morning and rely on this bowl of four-happiness dumplings at noon to survive.

At the same time, it also allows the morning joggers who have been sitting in the Yunzhong Canteen since 6 o'clock and waiting all morning to eat Chef Qin's latest signature dim sum.

This is the plot from a few days ago.

Today, Xu Tuqiang, who arrived at the Yunzhong Canteen at 6 o'clock as he did in the previous days, keenly noticed that something was wrong.

He discovered that the waitresses in the Yunzhong Canteen seemed to be cooking for themselves. They were passing a mysterious green piece of cake to each other and eating it secretly.

Even Huang Xi was eating.

Xu Tuqiang glanced at the time.

11 points.

There is something wrong with secretly eating snacks at this time!

Xu Tuqiang casually stretched his neck to look at the window and found that the waiter at the window was arranging the mung bean cakes. One after another, the mung bean cakes were neatly placed on small plates. There were two types of plates, a small plate with 4 pieces and a larger plate with 6 pieces. Each piece of mung bean cake was very small, not enough for adults but just the right size for children.

Is Yunzhong Canteen launching new snacks for children?
Xu Tuqiang was very confused.

Xu Tuqiang knew how popular radish cake was among children. He had a grandson at home. Every weekend, his darling grandson would wait to sit in the Yunzhong Canteen and surround An Youyou, calling her "Sister Radish Cake".

That is to say, during these two days, Qin Huai went to City A for a catering service, and Li Hua became the one who seasoned the radish cake. The radish cake fried by An Youyou was not as delicious as before, so it was not as popular as the first two days.

Noticing that Xu Tuqiang had been craning his neck to look out the window, Grandma Ding also looked at him in confusion and asked, "Do you like green bean cakes?"

As a former kindergarten principal, Grandma Ding recognized at a glance that the small cakes on the counter were mung bean cakes.

"I think it should be the mung bean cake made by Master Qin." Xu Tuqiang analyzed calmly.

Sitting in the Yunzhong Canteen, you can directly see the scene in the kitchen from the window, but it does not mean that you can see every move in the kitchen clearly.

Qinhuai's dough kneading table is relatively close to the window, so the elderly can watch if they want. The cooking stove is very far from the window, so unless you really stretch your neck and stare at the window, it is difficult to see what the chef is cooking.

The uncles and aunts who used to go jogging in the morning have long passed the insolent stage of staring at the window. Now they sit in the cafeteria and chat while waiting for snacks.

Hearing Xu Tuqiang's analysis, Grandma Ding was a little surprised and lowered her voice: "Why do you think so?"

Xu Tuqiang also lowered his voice: "I just saw Xiao Huang stealing food."

"It's normal for waiters to steal some snacks if Xiao Pei and Xiao Li's snacks are not sold out in the afternoon. But Xiao Huang was stealing some at this time, which means the snacks must be delicious. They are most likely made by Chef Xiao Qin." Xu Tuqiang analyzed calmly.

Grandma Ding thought it made sense and exclaimed in a low voice: "Great, Xiao Xu, you have learned how to analyze now."

Xu Tuqiang whispered proudly: "Of course, do you think I won't use my brain after I retire?"

Huang Xi, who heard the two people's whispered conversation clearly from a distance, said:

Huang Xi: Uncle Xu, Grandma Ding, you two don’t have to whisper when you talk. With your voices and hearing ability, we young people can hear you even if you whisper softly.

Huang Xi put on a proper professional smile, took a deep breath, straightened his back, walked quickly to Xu Tuqiang and Grandma Ding, and said in a gentle voice:

"Today we have a new product, mung bean cake. Chef Qin has specially improved the recipe. A small portion costs 10 yuan, and a large portion costs 15 yuan. If you are interested, you can buy some to taste."

As soon as Huang Xi finished speaking, everyone moved.

The old men and women quickly lined up to buy it as if it had formed muscle memory. Whether they liked it or not, they all liked it at this moment.

Chef Xiao Qin has specially improved the recipe of mung bean cake. I love it. I love it very much!
Soon, the uncles and aunts who were jogging in the morning each had a plate of mung bean cake in their hands, eating and drinking it with hot tea.

Xu Tuqiang took a small bite of the mung bean cake, without chewing it, but sipped it, letting it melt in his mouth, savoring its dense and smooth texture, and when it was almost melted, he took a sip of hot tea.

"This is life!" Xu Tuqiang sighed, "I always felt that something was missing when I drank tea in the morning and afternoon. It turned out that it was the mung bean cake. Master Qin is so thoughtful!"

Everyone:? !

Xu, when did you become so good at flattering? Damn it, I lost.

Soon, Yunzhong Canteen launched a new product, mung bean cake. This new product is completely different from the previous ones. Chef Qin worked hard and spent a long time to carefully improve the recipe of mung bean cake, which greatly improved the taste, texture and appearance of mung bean cake. The news spread throughout the circle of diners in Yunzhong Canteen.

As for why every time there is new news about Yunzhong Canteen, it will quickly spread among the diners circle...

That may be because there are enough group buying groups, foodie groups, and small groups that everyone has created privately.

The uncles and aunts also love taking photos. It doesn’t matter if they have poor skills, don’t know the composition, or can’t photoshop, as long as the snacks are real.

Poor technique can bring out the deliciousness of dim sum.

What? You asked them how they could tell the dim sum was delicious from a picture?
Never mind, you can see it anyway.

Almost as soon as 12 o'clock arrived, the Yunzhong Canteen was crowded with office workers who came to eat lunch and buy mung bean cakes.

Some office workers even take 5 minutes off to come and eat early. Their eating spirit is touching.

Whether you are eating ordinary fast food or eating four-happiness dumplings, there must be a green bean cake on the plate. The green bean cake is small and melts in your mouth. It is sweet and not greasy. 4 pieces are not enough, 6 pieces are just right.

And it's cheap.

In Yunzhong Canteen, 10 yuan can’t even buy one four-happiness dumpling, but you can buy 4 pieces of such delicious mung bean cakes. It is undoubtedly the king of cost-effectiveness.

This cost-effectiveness has led many office workers who originally had no interest in mung bean cake and had already ordered other takeout to come here specifically to buy some mung bean cake to take to the company.

Qinhuai’s sales policy for mung bean cakes is to sell as much as you want.

333 kilograms of mung bean cakes are sold every day, and there is no purchase limit. You can buy as much as you want. Anyway, this thing can't be kept for a long time. You will know after buying it once that mung bean cakes are the best when eaten on the day.

Zheng Siyuan arrived at the Yunzhong canteen at 1pm.

The clothes are light and energetic, with a casual shirt and jacket, which is very convenient to change into work clothes at any time.

When Zheng Siyuan arrived at the cafeteria, the last batch of office workers were queuing up to buy mung bean cakes to take away.

It has been a long time since the meal was dropped, and many regular customers no longer recognize Master Zheng.

Zheng Siyuan walked towards the locker room skillfully. When passing by the queue, he heard two young girls chatting excitedly.

"I really didn't expect that the mung bean cake improved by Master Qin would be so delicious. I tell you, I came to buy mung bean cake when Yunzhong Canteen sold it for the first time. At that time, I thought the taste was okay, but definitely not as delicious as this time. This time the mung bean cake is really super super delicious! You must believe me, this time it is much more delicious than before!!" The girl who was speaking was almost raising her right hand to swear to the heaven and earth.

"I know. I didn't say that Master Xiao Qin's mung bean cakes are bad. Look how anxious you are." The girl next to her rolled her eyes helplessly. "While I was eating, I happened to hear the old men and women sitting by the window chatting. They said that Master Xiao Qin went to City A two days ago to learn how to make mung bean cakes."

"Is there still this?"

"Of course. The last time Master Qin went to Gusu for so long, you had the three-stuffed buns and fermented glutinous rice wine steamed buns he made when he came back. They were much more delicious than before! Not to mention the four-happiness dumplings, but they're a little expensive. Oh, damn Hu Baopi, why can't you give me a 20% salary increase so that I can eat four-happiness dumplings for two weeks every month."

"Then I think it's enough for Master Qin to go to City A. It's really too much for him to go to Gusu for several months."

"I think so too!"

Zheng Siyuan couldn't help but stop while listening:?
Did Qin Huai go to City A to learn how to make mung bean cake?

Who in City A is good at mung bean cakes?

Zang Mu? Zang Liang? Or Tong Deyan?
Are these three all authentic red-case chefs, or does Yushanfang actually have a white-case chef who specializes in mung bean cakes?
It shouldn't be.

Zheng Siyuan changed his clothes with doubts and walked into the kitchen.

By the way, Zheng Siyuan has a special locker room in the Yunzhong Canteen, and his staff uniform is kept in the locker room.

In the kitchen, Qin Huai was preparing the stuffing for the three-piece buns.

The way of mixing the filling is very beautiful and skillful.

Zheng Siyuan had previously confirmed through the pictures sent by Qin Huai that Qin Huai had made a qualitative breakthrough in stuffing during the entire Chinese New Year. But he had only seen pictures before, and now seeing Qin Huai mixing stuffing in front of him, and mixing the stuffing of the Sanding Bao that Zheng Siyuan was very familiar with, Zheng Siyuan was still a little surprised.

He knew Qin Huai was a pervert, but he didn't expect Qin Huai to be so perverted.

This progress is so amazing. No wonder Tan Weian said in the small group every day that he wanted to beat Qin Huai.

"Here it comes." Qin Huai was busy mixing the stuffing and couldn't get his hands free. He used his eyes to signal Zheng Siyuan to look at the mung bean cake that was specially reserved for him on the kitchen counter. "Mung bean cake, icy, but it's not in the best condition because it's not in the best condition."

"Are the foods sold outside also icy?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

"Those are at room temperature." Qin Huai said, "Iced green bean cakes will be sold in the afternoon."

Zheng Siyuan washed his hands, picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite.

There was not much crumbs falling off, which shows that the mung bean cake made by Qinhuai is very firm.

But such a firm mung bean cake melts as soon as it enters your mouth.

excellent.

This was Zheng Siyuan’s first impression of this mung bean cake.

Savor it slowly.

Excellent taste, excellent flavor, sweet and not bland, such a common mung bean cake is made to such a level...

Could it be that Qin Huai really went to City A to learn how to make mung bean cakes?
Zheng Siyuan looked at Qin Huai: "Did you learn this a few days ago?"

Qin Huai thought for a moment and said, "I guess so. Do you still remember Chen Gong, Mr. Han's assistant?"

Zheng Siyuan nodded.

"Assistant Chen loves to eat mung bean cakes. He signed a long-term contract with me to buy snacks and gave me a recipe for mung bean cakes to make according to the recipe."

"I thought about it and found it was really good."

"Assistant Chen gave me the recipe, so I can't give it to you. If you want to learn, I'll make it for you in front of you tomorrow. It's very simple, and you should be able to understand it."

Zheng Siyuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay."

"Now what snack shall I make?"

"I'll give you the remaining three-piece buns and fermented rice wine steamed buns. Please add some broth so that you can make some Zousha wontons and Paopao wontons tomorrow morning."

"I'll make you chicken noodle soup tomorrow."

"I didn't cut the radish properly in the past two days. I have to spend more time cutting radishes this afternoon. I don't have time to study the double crab buns. Let's start studying the double crab buns together tomorrow. I will send you the recipe that Uncle Wang gave me in the evening. I have already told Uncle Wang about it, and he doesn't mind."

"it is good."

After listening to Master Qin's instructions, assistant Xiao Zheng nodded and started working.
