Chapter 167 Gong Liang’s Touch After yesterday's big turnaround, Qin Huai went back and reviewed it carefully. He felt that the main problem was still unfamiliarity. He is not familiar with the ingredients, nor is he familiar with crab roe shaomai, or even the overly simple seasoning of this ingredient. He seasoned the crab roe shaomai based on his previous experience in making dim sum, and followed Zheng Da's demonstration of the process and steps. He combined the two to remove the dregs and remove the essence, and finally completed the shaomai that was unpalatable. Qin Huai reflected for a night and decided to adopt the method of forgetting, forget his previous experience, and follow Zheng Da's model exactly like a beginner. The idea is great. However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very basic. Can't do it, absolutely can't do it. After a hearty seasoning, Qin Huai achieved the same success as yesterday.
Good news, there are only 9 minor errors and 6 major errors this time. Bad news, some errors are different. And one less mistake doesn’t have much of an impact on the taste. There is little room for improvement. Qin Huai's basic panel is here, and it is impossible for him to reach Chen Huihong's level of cooking skills. Another masterpiece from Qin Huai was delivered to every food taster in Huangji Restaurant. Most of the time, tasting food is not a pretty job. If a dish needs to be tried, it means that the dish is not a complete finished product and there are problems that need to be improved. The process of improvement requires a lot of trial and error and is long. A professional food taster needs to taste each dish carefully, ask questions and suggestions for improvement in his opinion, and not only eat it, but also eat it seriously and carefully. Gong Liang only took one bite before he realized that the task of tasting food was not so easy. The risk is too great. It’s not like Gong Liang has never tasted food, and his memories of food tasting are quite good. Gong Liang vaguely remembers that when he was a young boy studying, Master Jing from his next door neighbor would sometimes try out new dishes at home. To be precise, it's not a new dish. Chef Jing's skills are excellent. Some foreign businessmen only recognize Chef Jing's skills and ask for Chef Jing's cooking by name during reception. Everyone has different tastes, and the types of dishes they want to eat are also different. At this time, Master Jing will try making them at home. As a neighbor, Gong Liang was still a teenager in high school at that time. When he was lucky, he could have a few bites, and he could enjoy it for several days and study for several years. At that time, Gong Liang was thinking that when he became as rich as a foreign businessman in the future, he would also appoint Master Jing to cook for him. No, there is no need to specify, just do it every day. As long as Master Jing is willing to cook it, he is willing to eat it! Now, Gong Liang's beautiful filter for tasting dishes was shattered by the crab roe siomai in front of him. He couldn't believe that this was actually a snack made by Qin Huai. Although he had eaten the stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata made by Qin Huai two days ago, and knew that his beloved Master Xiao Qin was not omnipotent, the stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata was a stew, and the crab roe siu mai was a snack! This is a snack! Gong Liang is a complete layman in cooking, even more so than a layman like Huang Anyao who has rich theoretical knowledge but almost zero practical level. So even though he knew that crab roe siu mai was quite difficult, and unless Zheng Da was willing to make it, it would be difficult for him to taste Master Jing's same crab roe siu mai elsewhere, he didn't have a very specific idea.
In Gong Liang's mind, cooking crab roe Shaomai is indeed very difficult, but Qin Huai is also very good at making dim sum. In addition, Qin Huai's fermented fermented steamed buns are almost as good as Zheng Da's, especially the first batch of fermented fermented steamed buns every day. Gong Liang can even chew the steamed buns as if he had gone to a state-owned hotel to grab steamed buns after work. Therefore, in Gong Liang's opinion, Qin Huai's craftsmanship is comparable to Zheng Da's. At most, it was a little bit close. After all, Zheng Da clamored to accept Qin Huai as a closed disciple every day. Although Zheng Da is a bit lazy and not very willing to cook dim sum, he is still reliable in his work and cannot do the kind of thing where he insists on accepting a young dim sum chef with the same level as himself as his apprentice. As a result, the crab roe shaomai in front of him shattered the 18 layers of filters Gong Liang had added to Qin Huai. Chef Xiao Qin, who is omnipotent in dim sum, also encounters Waterloo. Gong Liang sniffed, tears almost streaming down his face. The feeling of a shattered idol. Gong Liang looked at the other people in Huangji's kitchen who were trying the food, and found that everyone's reactions were very calm. However, everyone finished eating the crab roe siomai very calmly, and they also gathered together to discuss the difference between Qinhuai's crab roe siomai today and yesterday. Is it the problem with the proportion of seasonings, or is it the shrimp and crab meat? There was a problem with the matching. Some people even expressed optimism that progress has been great, and that the most obvious problem yesterday no longer exists. Gong Liang was stunned. Gong Liang thought for a moment, stood up from the bench, grabbed Dong Shi, who was having the most heated discussion, and took him to a corner outside and asked: "Is it normal for Master Xiao Qin to make crab roe shaomai like this?" "It's normal." Dong Shi said, seeing Gong Liang's expression becoming even more confused, he explained, "The one he made yesterday was even worse." Gong Liang:? "Mr. Gong, don't worry. We all know that Qin Huai learned how to eat crab roe shao mai because you wanted to eat it. But Qin Huai has never made crab meat or crab roe snacks before, and he doesn't even make shrimp-filled snacks." "Let me put it this way, Qin Huai is from Guangdong Province, you know, right? He is now like a chef who comes from Cantonese cuisine and is good at Shandong cuisine. Let me think about it, can I compare it like this... Yes, that's right, he is a palace dim sum well done." "He is now good at two cuisines, one from the south and the other from the north. But now that he has come to us, what we cook most here is Huaiyang cuisine. You ask him, a chef who has been doing northern cuisine for many years, to suddenly make a difference without any experience. If you switch to cooking Huaiyang cuisine, you will definitely not be accustomed to it, and you will definitely have big problems when you first start learning.” "This is the second time he has made crab roe shaomai. It is normal for it to be unpalatable. So don't worry, Mr. Gong. Give Qin Huai a month or two. I believe it will be fine given his level." "Don't think that two months is too much time. For a normal chef, especially a dim sum master, two months to change factions and learn a difficult dim sum like crab roe siu mai is already terrifying. Even if Qin Huai didn't learn it in two months, it's normal. You have to believe that as long as he agrees to you, he will definitely make crab roe dumplings for you." Gong Liang was even more confused. Seeing that Gong Liang's expression was still the same, Dong Shi thought that Gong Liang still didn't understand, and thought about what angle of analogy he should use to make Gong Liang understand how difficult it is to change the track to make crab roe shaomai. Just when Dong Shi was thinking rapidly and had opened his mouth slightly to say some witty nonsense to lighten the atmosphere, Gong Liang spoke. "When did I ask Qin Huai to make crab roe shaomai?" Gong Liang asked. Now he no longer cares about his idol, Master Qin, overturning his car. Gong Liang felt that someone must be harming him. Conscience of heaven and earth, when did Gong Liang become such a self-aware person?
Although he likes to beat snakes with sticks and stalk them, it depends on the situation, the person, and the timing. His relationship with Qin Huai is still in the strategy stage. It is his strategy to conquer Qin Huai, using material sugar-coated bullets to close the relationship with Master Xiao Qin, a potential stock. He is now an angel investor, and the money from the first round of financing has not been invested yet. Whoever spreads rumors outside will kill the goose that lays the eggs. If this word reaches Master Xiao Qin's ears, how can he have the nerve to try to get rid of him in the future? Gong Liang wanted to rush back to the kitchen door and eat another crab roe shaomai to prove his innocence. Although Chef Xiao Qin’s stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata and crab roe shaomai are both overrated, the Wu Ding Bao, Jiu Niang Steamed Buns, Yuan Meng Shaobing, Noodles, Guoer, Crab Shell Yellow, Chicken Soup Noodles and Sophora Flower Steamed Buns are all eye-catchingly good. Bar! If one or two of them overturn, they will overturn. At worst, Gong Liang won't eat it, but he still has to eat the others. "Didn't you ask for it?" Dong Shi was also shocked. "Who said it was me who asked for it? Who?" Gong Liang gritted his teeth. "That's what everyone said." Dong Shi said, "Qin Huai invited you to Huang Ji for breakfast in the morning, and started learning crab roe siomai in the afternoon. I heard that when Qin Huai learned crab roe siomai, Uncle Zheng gave him two learning methods. , one is the current one, and the other is a little simpler.” "Qin Huai knew that you ate the crab roe shaomai made by your master for a month straight. He specifically asked you which method was used to make it. He wanted to learn that. He also said that he would invite you to try it when it is ready. Let’s see if it tastes like it did back then.” "We all thought Qin Huai learned it specially because of your request." Gong Liang was shocked. After the shock, I was filled with emotion. Gong Liang was born in sales. Since he was young, he has been talking nonsense to people and ghosts. He has forgotten many of the words he said, and he never expected that anyone would take what he said to heart. Gong Liang himself didn't remember whether he ever told Qin Huai that he had eaten crab roe and shaomai for a month. But crab roe siomai is indeed a very special snack for him. That was the closest he got to realizing his dream. Gong Liang also spent huge sums of money to hire famous dim sum chefs from other places to try to recreate the crab roe shaomai he had eaten back then, but to no avail. Later, Zheng Da directly told him that the crab roe shaomai was a unique secret recipe in a sense. He could give the recipe to Gong Liang, but other dim sum chefs would most likely not be able to make it. This is indeed the case. Some dim sum chefs are highly skilled and can make crab roe siomai that is just as delicious, but Gong Liang couldn't taste it the way he did back then. Only Zheng Da, a direct disciple taught by Master Jing, can make somewhat the same taste. Gong Liang felt that his eyes were a little wet, but his acting skills were very good, and he could control his emotional fluctuations to the point where outsiders couldn't see it. Gong Liang said: "Is this so? I don't know. I may have mentioned it to Master Xiao Qin, but I didn't ask him." "But I still have some knowledge about crab roe siomai. I can taste it in one bite if there is something wrong with it! I didn't eat it seriously just now. I will go back and eat another one now." Gong Liang went back to try the dishes with high spirits. Dong Shi:… Mr. Gong was actually willing to eat two of such unpalatable Shaomai. What everyone has said is indeed true. Mr. Gong’s red envelope for Qin Huai must be the thickest this year. Gong Liang returned to the small bench to shine for his food tasting career, but Qin Huai's two top food testers quarreled over Qin Huai's next teaching process.
Qin Huai is a chef who is very good at writing wrong questions. Qin Huai thinks that he is not necessarily good at learning, but he is very good at reflection. He was always able to immediately realize what was wrong with the snacks he made when he had a reference, and then he repeatedly revised and made mistakes, adding, subtracting, deleting, and correcting in the wrong question book, and finally made a final decision. Desserts you want. Both Zheng Da and Huang Shengli agreed very much with his learning behavior and model. However, the two people had huge differences on how to add, subtract, delete and correct the wrong questions in the wrong question book. It is a recognized fact that the crab roe siomai made by Qinhuai is very unpalatable. But what exactly is the unpalatable method, what exactly makes the siomai so unpalatable, and how Qin Huai’s cooking skills and level can be modified and controlled to make the siomai not so unpalatable have become questions. Huang Shengli and Zheng Da have completely different views on this. Zheng Da thinks this is simply not practicing enough. His teaching model and Qin Huai's learning model were a perfect match, a natural master-disciple match. As long as he follows this pattern and makes Qinhuai and Qinhuai once every day, and cooks crab roe shaomai again and again for a month or two, it will be fine. To sum it up, it’s just one sentence. Just practice cooking more. Huang Shengli felt that if Zheng Da really didn't know how to teach his disciples, just stand aside and don't waste time. Is Qin Huai's problem that he doesn't practice enough? Yes. But he clearly had other problems. Huang Shengli could tell at a glance that Qin Huai was very unfamiliar with the ingredients needed for crab roe shao mai. Whether it is fresh shrimp, crab meat or crab roe, Qin Huai is not good at ingredients. Huang Shengli felt that what Qin Huai needed to do now was not to practice crab roe Shaomai, but to familiarize himself with the ingredients first. He needed a master who knew how to explain to help him break down the ingredients step by step and tell him how to make and taste them. As for the master, he is far away but right in front of us. Zheng Da felt that Huang Shengli was unnecessary. Huang Shengli felt that Zheng Da did not understand believers. "This is what my master taught me back then!" Zheng Da said loudly. Zheng Da looked at Huang Shengli, with words written all over his face: "You can question my ability to teach disciples, but you can't question the master's ability to teach disciples." "Can your situation be the same as Xiao Qin's?" Not to be outdone, Huang Shengli responded with an expression like "How long have you been teaching Xiao Qin? Do you know how long I have been teaching you?" "When master taught us two, we didn't learn any basic skills. At that time, we were apprentices, working as odd jobs in a state-owned hotel. We were not paid, but the work was not less. We did all the dirty and tiring work, such as chopping vegetables, I have a lot of contact with food, fish, shrimp and crabs. When I first took charge of the water table, I felt like my whole body smelled fishy and I couldn't sleep due to the fumes. Have you forgotten? " Zheng Da's voice was a little softer: "That was back then, and Siyuan was not taught like this when he was a child. That was back then, and this is now, and there were no conditions at that time." "I know that several of my apprentices are not taught this way. I want to tell you that Xiao Qin is different from us. He does not have this foundation."
"We have lived here since childhood, and we have eaten fish, shrimps and crabs from the river since we were young. At that time, there were no seasonings. They were boiled, dried and steamed. If there was nothing to eat, no one would eat this stuff. The smell of fish, shrimps and crabs would be terrible. It’s engraved in my bones.” "When the master teaches you how to make crab roe siomai, you will naturally know how to remove the fishy flavor and season it, because you understand." "That's not Xiao Qin. If you ask him, he has probably eaten crabs as little as a fraction of the time you have." "Looking at what you said, Xiao Qin's family is not that difficult..." "I mean Xiao Qin doesn't like eating crabs! If you chat with him more, you will know that his sister Luoluo was injured after eating steamed crabs when she was a child. For a few years, she felt like vomiting when she smelled crabs. Their family never steamed them. Crab." Zheng Da was shocked: "Why is this kid Luoluo getting hurt when he eats anything?" Huang Shengli:… "That's why I said that the situation is different. Xiao Qin has little exposure to this kind of food, and he doesn't even come into contact with it very much. Your child hasn't learned all the characters yet, so you ask him to write a composition. Isn't that embarrassing for me? Is this how you teach? You still want to accept someone as a disciple. You don’t even know how to teach. Why do you think you can become a good master if you have skills? ” Zheng Da was so scolded by Huang Shengli that he didn't dare to say a word. "I also…" "Stop it, I'll teach first, I'll lay the foundation, and you'll teach after I've laid the foundation. You're still bragging in front of me. You've been researching for several days, and you've discovered a particularly good teaching method. You've been researching it for a few days. Out of this, I see you haven’t researched anything in the past few decades.” Huang Shengli won a great victory. Qin Huai was stunned when he saw it. Because these two people were arguing in front of him. This was the first time Qin Huai had seen such a scene. Since studying Sophora japonica steamed buns, he has been taught by Zheng Da and Huang Shengli, but he has never been taught by two people at the same time. Occasionally, two people appear in the same frame, but only through mobile phones. Qin Huai did not expect that when these two people were teaching together... So unlike fellow disciples. Huang Shengli looked at Qin Huai and instantly switched back to the smiling expression of a famous teacher: "Xiao Qin, don't listen to your Master Zheng, he won't teach these basic things." "Come, I'll take you to the aquatic products store to pick out some live shrimps. I'll start by teaching you how to choose the right shrimps and crabs." Qin Huai looked at Zheng Siyuan as if asking for help. Yes, Zheng Siyuan is here today. Although he didn't speak from beginning to end, it seemed like he didn't appear. But Zheng Siyuan has been staying in the kitchen, acting as a food tester. Zheng Siyuan nodded affirmatively. "Just get used to it." Zheng Siyuan said, "My father and my uncle have had very different teaching philosophies over the years. They often had such quarrels when I was teaching when I was a child." "Don't worry about the content of their argument. Anyway, whoever wins the argument will learn from him." "Whatever wins is right." Qin Huai:… Your teaching method is so unique.
Quarrel-style teaching, whoever wins the argument gets to teach. I was so tired. Going to an amusement park was not suitable for me. I was so tired that I directly renewed my hotel reservation and changed my ticket, and fell asleep for a day. That’s it for this year’s Universal Tour. I’ll come back next year. (I will definitely buy U-Speed Express next year and never queue up again QAQ)
