The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 42 The advantage is mine
For Qin Huai, Huang Xi's words were like a wake-up call.

When Qin Huai was watching the video tutorial, he found that the most critical factor in making fermented glutinous rice steamed buns was temperature. So he strictly controlled the temperature throughout the production process, mixing the dough, kneading, fermenting and even steaming. He thought he had done everything very well, but Huang Xi just made him realize that he actually did not control one thing well.

Wine.

For fermented rice, temperature is the key factor for yeast reproduction.

There are many ways to crush the fermented rice without using a juicer. In the video tutorial, Qin Wan chose the slowest and least efficient way. Qin Huai initially thought that it was because Qin Wan was a woman with less strength, so she could only use a pestle to pound it slowly.

Now that I think about it, this might have been something Qin Wan did on purpose.

Because slowly pounding will not change the temperature of the fermented rice.

The high-speed rotation of the juicer will heat up the fermented rice.

Modern technology can indeed make cooking easier, but sometimes it may cause some minor mistakes in the cooking process.

Qin Huai found a complete set of tools for pounding spices on the cooking table, including a pestle, a small container, and a plastic splash-proof lid.

Huang Xi opened the wine he bought.

The fermented glutinous rice had been refrigerated in the refrigerator overnight and was well preserved. The temperature in the morning was not too high, and Huang Xi's journey here was just enough time for the fermented glutinous rice to return to room temperature.

Qin Huai poured the fermented rice into a container and crushed it slowly.

One by one, with gentle movements.

"Dad, please keep an eye on the oven for me. Just take the shortbread out when it's done." Qin Huai no longer cared about the shortbread in the oven.

When Qin Huai had almost finished pounding the fermented rice wine, Uncle Wang finally arrived. But there was a reason why he was late today: he brought his wife with him.

"Juan'er, I told you, today Chef Qin will definitely make crab shell roe with fresh shrimp filling. Just smell it, it's definitely fresh out of the pot!" Chef Wang said proudly in a loud voice as he entered the cafeteria.

Master Wang's wife Chen Juan nodded a little impatiently, quickened her pace towards the window, and when she reached table number nine, she saw her regular partners Uncle Cao and Xu Tuqiang, and greeted them with a smile.

"Sister Chen, you are here too." Uncle Cao was also very enthusiastic.

Chen Juan said, "I didn't want to go out on a rainy day, but it was my husband Wang who insisted that the five-dollar crab shell roe would only be worth three dollars if he took it home. He is so stingy. If my husband Jianhua hadn't had to go to work later, he would have wanted to pack up me, Jianhua, Jianhua's wife, and Lele and bring them all over here."

Uncle Cao laughed: "Wang Laogen, when will you change this bad habit of yours?"

Uncle Wang defended himself: "Crab shell yellow is meant to be eaten hot right out of the pot. It rained today, and it was cold when I brought it back. You simply don't know how to appreciate it."

After that, Uncle Wang went to the window and subconsciously wanted to say to Qin Huai: "Master Qin, give me 10 crab shell roe to taste first." As a result, as soon as he looked towards the window, he found Qin Huai concentrating on kneading dough near the window. Seeing him so focused, he was embarrassed to interrupt him loudly.

Huang Xi saw this and took a quick step forward to pick up some crab shell meat for Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang took the crab shell yellow and sat at table 9. He also pushed away another uncle who didn't deserve a name to let his wife sit down, and asked quietly: "Master Qin, why did you make the steamed buns so late today?"

Xu Tuqiang snorted coldly and whispered, "It's all because of you. I heard it all. It was because you attacked Master Xiao Qin yesterday morning, saying that the steamed buns made by him were not as good as those made in Gusu. Master Xiao Qin was so upset that he made steamed buns for 12 hours yesterday and gave them away for free for a day."

"Go and ask around among the residents in our community who come to the cafeteria to eat. Is there anyone who didn't have steamed buns and pickled mustard for dinner last night?"

Uncle Wang was stunned. He never thought that just by telling a little truth he would cause such great harm to a young mind.

Uncle Wang scratched his head guiltily, then took a bite of the crab shell roe, which was fresh, fragrant and crispy, and made him feel even more guilty.

"I just... accidentally told the truth. Really, the fermented glutinous rice buns made by Master Jing are really better than those made by Master Qin. Master Qin can't compare with him at all." Uncle Wang said in a very low voice.

All the uncles:?

You still say!
Uncle Wang glanced at Qin Huai behind the window, and he was overwhelmed by guilt.

How about asking an old colleague from the previous factory to find out whether Master Jing is still alive and where he lives if he is? And ask him to call and comfort Master Xiao Qin?
Master Jing likes the younger generation so much, he shouldn't mind making this call, right?
Uncle Wang thought. Qin Huai didn't even notice Uncle Wang coming, as all his attention was now focused on the dough in his hands.

From the moment he started pounding the glutinous rice wine, filtering it and kneading the dough, he felt that it was right.

It’s the feeling of having the right answer.

Although the dough was still fermenting and did not look much different from before, Qin Congwen might not even be able to see any difference if he came over to observe, but Qin Huai had a hunch in his heart.

This intuition told him that this was a sure thing.

The advantage is mine!

With this good intuition, Qin Huai felt that he was rubbing very smoothly. This feeling was like a doctor seeing a textbook-like standard case when treating a patient. He felt really awesome and happy, and even wanted to send a WeChat message to tell his colleagues the good news.

Qin Huai stayed by the dough the whole time and never left its place during the steaming process, not even noticing that the morning rush hour had already begun.

The morning rush hour is when the Yunzhong Canteen has the heaviest customer flow. Office workers rush to the canteen from the subway, buy a bun and eat while walking, and rush to the company without stopping.

The only difference is that the rich eat three- and five-cubic-sized buns, while the poor eat the vegetable buns and big meat buns produced by Qin Congwen. Now the waiters in Yunzhong Canteen are all good at packing buns, and their speed is so fast that you can almost see the afterimage.

The diners who also visited the canteen to buy buns yesterday morning knew that the canteen’s boss, Chef Qin, was making fermented glutinous rice steamed buns.

Buy a five-pack and get it for free.

It is said that the taste is quite good.

Many diners who had already rewarded themselves with a Wu Ding Bao yesterday decided to reward themselves with another one today for the sake of the fermented glutinous rice steamed buns.

The diners who arrived earlier, when they learned that there would be no fermented rice wine steamed buns today and that the steamed buns had not been steamed yet, could only leave with their 1 yuan meat buns, either with relief or regret.

Great, I can save 35 yuan if I don’t buy it! /Damn, they don’t give it away today. I should have bought two yesterday.

Artist Xiao Zhang turned around with regret after his decision to reward himself failed.

Looking at the 1.5-yuan meat bun in his hand and thinking about the balance in his bank card, Xiao Zhang decided to end this month's reward here and reward himself after receiving his salary next month.

Suddenly Xiao Zhang smelled a strong yet faint aroma of wine.

"Light" is used to describe the aroma of the wine, while "strong" is used to describe its position in one's heart.

How do you describe the taste?

want to eat.

Xiao Zhang had eaten fermented glutinous rice steamed buns yesterday and thought they were really good. It was worth spending 35 to buy a Wu Ding bun and get one free.

But this scent is different.

The aroma made Xiao Zhang think that he could spend 35 to reward himself with a fermented glutinous rice steamed bun.

Your salary may not be paid until next month, but that doesn’t mean you can’t eat steamed buns today!

Xiao Zhang turned back firmly, with a resolute expression, decisive actions, a loud voice and full of energy.

"Beauty, are the steamed buns in your store out of the pot? Give me one!"

I don’t even ask about the price, I’m that confident!
