The whole pig head is braised, the color is rosy, and the sauce color is complete. When Qin Huai stretches out his chopsticks, he doesn't have to use force to pick it. It feels like he only needs to use a little force and a slight stir to get a piece of fat but not greasy. It is quite cooked and has a springy texture.
Just came down.
The meat is also coated with a gelatinous sauce. The taste is quite mellow.
Very domineering.
This is a standard banquet dish, salty yet sweet, heavy in oil and salt, full of fat and energy, heavy in color, and heavy in taste. Whether it is visual or sensory, it can give people the most primitive pleasure of eating meat.
.
It is not the same style as crab meat lion head and braised silver carp head. If Qin Huai was an ordinary person who had never had a three-head banquet, he would definitely not think that these three dishes could appear at the same banquet.
But now, when Qin Huai takes a bite of steamed buns and a bite of meat, and the carbohydrates and fats are fully integrated, and he is twice as happy, he feels that this is how it should be. Tasty is the king!
I gnawed Qinhuai steamed buns and pork head meat alternately. I couldn't stop eating at all. Every time I ate a few mouthfuls of meat, I had to eat fried vegetables to clear my mouth, so as not to suffer from acid reflux after eating too much at once.
Qin Luo has learned from past experiences of this kind of thing.
When Qin Luo was in the first grade of junior high school, there was a period of time when he was particularly greedy for knuckles. Maybe it was because he watched a TV series in which the protagonist ate a big knuckle, and he kept clamoring to eat it.
Qin Congwen made a pact with Qin Luo that if she could advance 10 places in the class in the final exam, he would take her to eat. But Qin Luo really exploded, and improved by 11 places in the final exam, exceeding the task.
I like to raise my elbows.
Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong didn't have time, so they asked Qin Huai to take Qin Luo. As a result, they didn't choose a good restaurant. The elbow in the restaurant Qin Luo chose was a little fat, so Qin Huai only took two bites, which was as big as his face.
Qin Luo ate the whole meal by himself.
Then he got tired of eating, suffered from acid reflux, vomiting and diarrhea, and gastroenteritis. On the first day of the holiday, he went to the hospital to drink fluids. From then on, Qin Luo never mentioned the word elbow again.
That was probably the only time in Qin Luo's life that he was injured from eating something.
I have seen a negative case. Qin Huai was very reserved when eating grilled whole pig head. He did not feel the taste of food rising when he opened his mouth like he did when eating the Jie Feng Banquet the night before yesterday. He even ate only three steamed buns.
.
Qin Huai felt that he was really different. He had seen the world and could even taste such delicious dishes.
The leftover grilled whole pig head was not wasted. Zheng Siyuan couldn't finish it and Huang Anyao was there. Shaodong didn't choose, as long as there was some leftovers to eat, Shaodong didn't mind adding leftovers in the middle, even a little bit of soup on the last plate, Shaodong would use it.
Dip the buns clean and finish eating.
When Huang Shengli went to the kitchen, what he saw was his own son who was barely licking the plate. Huang Shengli:...
Is the guy in front of me really his biological son? Was he hugged me correctly back then?
Over the years, I haven't eaten or drank much from him, but now I've become so worthless?
Huang Shengli said he didn't understand, but he could only accept it. After all, he couldn't change his son even if he wanted to.
Huang Shengli showed his famous teacher smile and said warmly: "Xiao Qin, how are you today? Are you still adaptable to work?"
"I heard that Gong Liang added you on WeChat at noon? If he harasses you on WeChat, just pretend you haven't seen him and don't reply to him. If he sends you a red envelope, just accept it. If you have any questions, come to me anytime. I
Let Zheng Da help you solve it."
As soon as Qin Huai heard what Huang Shengli said, he knew that he and Gong Liang were really petty. They could collect money, but things couldn't be done. There was no need to complain, this was really petty.
"Today we are going to learn to fry vegetables in a new way." Huang Shengli said, using his eyes to signal the apprentices to clear out several stoves.
Soon, the stove was cleared, and the vegetables were brought in and prepared.
"Today you not only watched me speculate, but also watched others speculate. I remember that you have a good relationship with Huang Jia, Dong Shi, and Dong Li. You should be familiar with Wang Jun. There is another one... Qi Tian, ​​the third child, you should also say
Let’s talk, just a few of them.”
Huang Shengli’s third apprentice, Qi Tian Qin Huai, is really unfamiliar to him. He is the one who learned the art from his own teacher. Qi Tian’s own family comes from a family of chefs. He practiced basic skills since he was a child and learned the cooking skills from his elders. Later, he relied on his connections to worship Huang Shengli as his apprentice.
Master, his level is second only to Huang Jia among Huang Shengli's disciples.
He has an indifferent face and doesn't talk much at ordinary times. Qin Huai and he have basically no interaction. In the past two days in Huang Ji's kitchen, he has said no more than 5 sentences. Huang Shengli didn't let Qin Huai take action and asked Qin Huai to stand first.
Watching from the sidelines, watching the people he called on were frying vegetables one by one.
Huang Jia started first.
As the disciple that Huang Shengli has high hopes for, Huang Jia can be regarded as having obtained eight points of Huang Shengli's true inheritance. He can do the top dishes such as grilling the whole pig's head, which is the most test of fire skills, and he can naturally do basic training such as stir-frying vegetables.
Not to mention that he just fried Qin Huai a plate of green vegetables for the staff meal at noon today. Huang Jia's fried vegetables were quite beautiful, as beautiful as the staff dish at noon.
The movements are beautiful, the control is beautiful, the spooning is beautiful, the pot is beautiful, and the vegetables in the pot are also beautiful. If you insist on finding any problems, then his vegetables may not be perfect.
But for a perfect plate of fried vegetables, the heat and time must be controlled within a few millimeters. Even Huang Shengli cannot guarantee that every plate of fried vegetables will be perfect.
In a sense, there is no perfect dish in this world. You can find problems as long as you want. Because you never know where a very good chef will appear and make a more perfect dish.
.
"Try it." Huang Shengli asked Qin Huai to taste the food. Qin Huai tasted it and found it was as delicious as noon. Huang Jia left the stage and Qi Tian appeared.
Qi Tian stir-fried vegetables with an expressionless face.
His movements when frying vegetables are not as beautiful as Huang Jia's looks, but they are cleaner and neater. Compared with Huang Jia, Qi Tian is a more pragmatic chef. Many chefs like to learn a little bit of cooking, which is not necessarily used, but it can be used
You can use it to show off when you get there.
But Qi Tian is obviously not this kind of chef. To show off his cooking skills to others, chefs usually make their movements more elegant without affecting the quality of the food in the pot. Qi Tian is completely the opposite, his movements are not at all
It's not cool, it feels like there are still 100 dishes of vegetables to be fried later, so you have to hurry up and work quickly.
Soon, Qitian's fried vegetables came out of the pot.
The equally beautiful green fried vegetables are even prettier than those fried by Huang Jia in terms of appearance. While Qi Tian was working quickly, he even took the time to arrange the plate slightly.
"Try it." Huang Shengli said. Qin Huai tasted it. It was delicious.
It tastes different from Huang Jia’s green vegetables.
In terms of taste, Qitian's stir-fried green vegetables are crispier, and the degree of crispiness is well controlled. It's the kind of crispy texture that will overturn if not cooked properly. Qitian left calmly, and Wang Jun began to stir-fry the green vegetables.
.
As the disciple with the worst cooking skills of Huang Shengli, Wang Jun's stir-fried vegetables did not disappoint his reputation. At his level, he really cannot be Huang Ji's stove cook.
If Huang Jia and Qi Tian's stir-fried green vegetables have their own merits, but they are both equally delicious and cannot find any faults, then Wang Jun's stir-fried green vegetables can find many faults.
The duration of the intense heat was not well controlled, and the turning of the ladle was not clean enough, resulting in the vegetables not being heated evenly. It seemed that the juice was slightly insufficient before serving...
If you are picky, you can find at least 10 faults with this plate of vegetables.
In simple language that the public can understand, fried vegetables are not as good as those fried by Zheng Siyuan.
Although Zheng Siyuan is a simple cook, his fire skills are still quite good, especially in basic fire skills such as stir-frying vegetables. When Zheng Siyuan was practicing cooking as a child, the fried vegetables had to be weighed every day.
of.
There was no need for Huang Shengli to tell him this time, Qin Huai took the initiative to taste it himself. It didn’t work well.
If you serve a plate of green vegetables like this and sell it for the price listed on the menu, customers may complain.
But it’s much more delicious than the 10-yuan stir-fried vegetables next door to Qin’s Breakfast Restaurant. The basic dishes of Huangji Restaurant are still on display here. The next one is Dong Li.
Then there is Dong Shi.
Qin Huai was surprised to find that Dong Shi really didn't brag. In terms of cooking skills, Dong Shi was actually better than Dong Li.
Although Dong Shi keeps talking all day long, talks nonsense, and the words he speaks don't sound very reliable, he is keen on gossip, and he likes to chat with people when he is at work, but he is really quite good.
You can fish, but you can't really cook.
Finally, Huang Shengli fried Qin Huai a plate of green vegetables.
Put it together with the green vegetables stir-fried by Huang Jia and Qi Tian, ​​and it will be a stir-fried green vegetable that can instantly defeat the vegetables of these two people.
A plate of fried vegetables that makes the world picky eaters. Children who don’t like vegetables will say to their mothers after eating: Mom, I want to eat fried vegetables! There is no harm if there is no comparison.
Yesterday, Qin Huai knew that Huang Shengli was a good cook and that the vegetables he cooked were excellent, but he didn't feel as intuitively as he did today. A good cook can really do whatever he wants.
Qin Huai began to understand why Gong Liang liked to hit snakes with sticks so much. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would come up to him and find a way to get two good dishes to eat. With his cooking skills, Fa Xiao could not eat a three-head banquet, but could only eat three plates of stir-fried vegetables.
all right.
"Do you know why I want each of them to compete with you?" Huang Shengli asked. Qin Huai thought for a while: "Is it because each of them has his own style?"
Huang Shengli paused and thought, I have already prepared so much, how can I still speak my words?
Huang Shengli stopped asking and said directly: "Huang Jia is my first disciple. He has practiced basic skills with me since he was a child. His cooking skills, techniques, concepts, and dishes were all taught by me step by step. It can be said that his style is the same as mine."
Like a chef.”
"Qitian learned the art from a teacher. His style was developed before he came to me. Although he has studied with me for many years, you can clearly see that his cooking style is completely different from Huang Jia's."
"Wang Jun comes from a wild background. He had many bad habits before. I have taught him for many years and changed a lot, but he still retains some of his habits. These habits often make him make small problems in places that should not be wrong.
So up to now, his cooking skills are not very advanced, but he can endure hardship and I believe that with a few more years of practice, his cooking skills will achieve a very big breakthrough."
"You should be the most familiar with Dong Shi and Dong Li. Xiao Jiu has a wild temper and Xiao Ba has a calm personality. The two of them are still very young and have not fully formed their own styles, so their personalities are clearly reflected in their cooking skills.
.”
"In terms of talent, Xiao Jiu is much better than Xiao Ba, so even if he is a little lazy occasionally, his level is no worse than Xiao Ba. He is a chef who has his own ideas, knows how to draw inferences from one example, and dares to question authority, even if I taught him
If he doesn't think it works, he will secretly change it. You can see how he can turn it out with a spoon, he has his own ideas."
"Xiao Ba is relatively step-by-step. He learns what he is taught and does what he says. This is good, but it is not good either. He is very similar to Huang Jia in this regard. It is also because of this that Huang Jia cannot take my class now.
reason."
"Chefs should not have too many ideas of their own when learning to cook, but they should not be too devoid of ideas. The master leads the disciples to practice. The learning stage is when the master lays the foundation for the apprentice, and the master teaches the disciple how to do it. But one day the master is the teacher.
No, if you expect others to teach you at this time, it will be difficult to become a true master."
"Huang Jia only learned eight points from my level. There is no way to learn the remaining two points. He has to rely on himself to realize it. In fact, I am the same. I only learned six or seven points from my master's level. The rest is like this
It took me many years to figure it out."
"Both Zheng Da and Zheng Siyuan told me that you are a chef who is very good at imitating. Zheng Da is even unreasonably worried. He is worried that you will not be able to form your own style if you blindly imitate like this. If you really want to become famous in the future,
We encountered great obstacles and endured many hardships.”
"I was worried about this at the beginning, but after seeing you study for a day yesterday, I actually no longer have this worry." Qin Huai looked at Huang Shengli.
"I don't feel like you are completely imitating." Qin Huai:?
Qin Huai wondered if Huang Shengli had an inexplicable filter for seeing him. To be honest, Qin Huai sometimes felt that his ability to imitate was terrifying. How could he imitate Zheng Siyuan's apple-faced fruit so perfectly until now?
He couldn't even figure it out himself.
"Come and try." Huang Shengli said. Qin Huai began to stir-fry vegetables.
One set after another, just like yesterday, there were different technical errors in each set.
Qin Huai was dissing Wang Jun's skill in stir-frying vegetables just now. No wonder he was the poorest cook among Huang Shengli's nine disciples. Now his stir-fried vegetables are not as good as Wang Jun's.
Putting his green vegetables and Wang Jun's green vegetables together, it seems that his heat is really poor. Although his heat is indeed very poor.
Oh, it’s really difficult to upgrade this intermediate level of heat. But the dough seems to be upgraded.
Qin Huai doesn't care much about the skill levels and post-level proficiency given by the game system, because Qin Huai knows his level very well. He doesn't even need to look at the game system's ratings. He knows whether there has been progress or regression.
When the game system first awakens, the speed of making noodles is as fast as walking at a snail's pace.
For such a long time, the proficiency in making dough and the proficiency in seasoning have been 2:1. If you think about it carefully, you will know that this is not reasonable at all. Based on the types of snacks Qin Huai makes every day, the number of times of making dough is much more than that of seasoning.
, definitely more than twice.
Therefore, Qin Huai guessed that this proficiency level is not like game leveling, where you gain experience by defeating monsters. Or it is a very rigorous game leveling, where you gain different experience by defeating different monsters.
You will get more experience if you make difficult dough, and you will get less experience if you knead the dough casually with your eyes closed without any technical content, or even no experience at all.
This is also reasonable from the perspective of cooking and learning. After all, no matter how hard a high school student does oral arithmetic addition and subtraction within 20, his math score will not improve at all.
Qin Huai has been making fruit some time ago, and the difficulty of making dough may be a bit high. His proficiency in making dough is rising steadily, and he will probably upgrade it in the next seven or eight days.
Qin Huai put the fried vegetables on the plate.
There is a qualitative leap between primary and intermediate levels of heat, but is there between intermediate and advanced levels of proofing?
If he came to Huangji to practice hard for 10 days, and the result was that the fire was not moving, and the dough making skills improved by leaps and bounds, would it make Huang Shengli, a famous teacher, autistic? Pushing these messy thoughts out of his mind, Qin Huai continued to concentrate on frying vegetables.
Oh, this looks like a bad-looking vegetable.
Huang Ji's plate, it's really hard for you to put these poor vegetables on your plate. You have never served such bad vegetables before. One plate after another of vegetables is produced like an assembly line.
Huang Shengli stood aside without speaking, giving no guidance, or demonstrating. He just stood quietly, looking at the plates of vegetables one after another.
Dong Shi, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help it anymore: "Master, why did you just demonstrate it once and then stop moving?"
"He asked us to demonstrate to Qin Huai, isn't it just to show Qin Huai the wrong cases, and then look at the correct cases and learn from the master's instructions? At this time, we shouldn't pursue the victory and demonstrate it to Qin Huai a few times to let him reflect on his mistakes.
?”
"I wasn't ready when I first started speculating, and I didn't make many mistakes. I'm ready this time, and I've prepared three common mistakes that novices make, and I'll show them to Qin Huai all at once next time!"
Dong Shi felt that he understood Huang Shengli's thoughts very well. When he becomes a disciple in the future, he will definitely become a famous teacher. Dong Li:...
Dong Li was too lazy to pay attention to his younger brother. It would be a waste to give such a good cooking talent to his younger brother. He should have given it to Wang Jun.
"Master is not asking us to show Qin Huai how to make mistakes. He wants Qin Huai to see what green vegetables fried by different chefs and styles look like, and where the influence of heat on these basic dishes will be reflected." Huang Jia, as the senior brother
, explained patiently.
"Ah?" Dong Shi shook his head, "This is too difficult, Qin Huai is a novice."
Ge Li simply couldn't see it. He really wanted to go inside and take a closer look at the vegetables Qin Huai fried. Say it again, what kind of novice are you?
Do you still remember when you were a newbie and all the crazy stuff was being speculated on?
"Teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Different people have different teaching methods. This teaching method is not suitable for us, but it is definitely suitable for Qin Huai." Huang Jia said with a smile. Seeing that Dong Shi was still looking around to say something, he directly interrupted the teaching.
"Mr. Gong probably sent Qin Huai a WeChat message and Qin Huai didn't reply. He just called me and asked me when Huang Ji plans to serve new noodles and fruits, and if he can reveal tomorrow's white menu."
"He also asked me about Qin Huai's situation and said that Qin Huai would definitely not be used to it when he first came to Suzhou."
"Xiaojiu, you know his style of doing things. After all, you have a sweet mouth, and you get the biggest red envelope every year during the Chinese New Year."
"Find an opportunity to talk to Qin Huai later and ask him not to make noodles for Mr. Gong so early, and don't reveal to Mr. Gong that Huang Ji now includes breakfast, otherwise he will definitely have three meals a day."
"If you really have nothing to do, call Mr. Gong and tell Master's condition a little more seriously. It's best to say that he won't be able to cook for two or three months. Remember to hide the fact that Master secretly ran away two days ago.
Something about going fishing.”
Dong Shi:..
"Senior Brother, I remember that Master asked me to go to the warehouse to take inventory. I have to leave beforehand!" Dong Shi slipped away.
The crowd onlookers became quiet.
Wang Jun silently gave Huang Jia a thumbs up, indicating that the senior brother still had a way to treat the younger brother. Qin Huai's teaching continued.
After he finished frying a bucket of green vegetables, Huang Shengli asked him to take a rest and then demonstrated frying it twice. Without saying much, he simply picked two obvious problems that Qin Huai had shown and should be corrected, and asked Qin Huai to continue.
practice.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the happy cooking training ended.
Qin Huai, who was so good at frying vegetables that he couldn't even lift his hands, shook his arms and felt that it was a fulfilling day.
"Don't go back for a while. There is a bone-setting shop nearby. The master is very skilled. Gong Liang has already applied for a card for you and recharged it with 20,000 yuan. You can go there every two days to relax your muscles to avoid practicing too much.
Too much training hurts the body." Huang Shengli said.
"Ah?" Qin Huai was confused.
No, he hasn't even started to get close to Gong Liang, and he hasn't gained a good impression yet, so why did he apply for a card for him directly?
"Each of Huang Ji's chefs has one." Huang Shengli said, "Gong Liang has 50% of the shares of that bone-setting shop." Qin Huai understood, and the self-cultivation of the best.
I'm really sorry that I don't give Gong Liang two sides to this card.
"Thank you, Master Huang, for your hard work today." Qin Huai said respectfully.
"Yes, if I can teach a good seedling like you, even if I am too sick to get up and move the bed into the kitchen, I will still teach you." Huang Shengli said with a smile, seeing that Huang Jia had already placed the small table where he was drinking tea.
After setting it up, I walked towards the small table.
Qin Huai went to the changing room to change clothes and got off work happily.
After changing back to his regular clothes, Qin Huai turned on his phone to check the newly received WeChat messages. Gong Liang sent seven or eight messages.
Let’s ignore the nonsense about losing the title for now. The news of Luo Jun’s reply is more important.
Luo Jun: It means that his tribulation has turned around, and if nothing else happens, he will successfully overcome the tribulation in this life. Eh!
Qin Huai called back directly and waited for a few seconds before Luo Jun answered.
"How long are you going to stay in that damn Gusu? I wake up at 0:00 every morning now, and I don't have tangerine peel tea to drink after I wake up. I've finished watching the last TV series I followed. This fairy tale drama is terrible to watch. Female
The Lord has died twice, but he is not really dead yet. Will the current screenwriter know how to write the plot?" Luo Jun's voice was full of resentment for not being able to drink tangerine peel tea, and annoyance that the TV series was not good enough.
Qin Huai: "...Maybe, it will take more than two months." "What???"
Luo Jun's voice on the other end of the phone almost broke through the sky: "It's been more than two months, why didn't you wait for me to die before coming back?" The spirit who has been in the world for 92 years is very tough in his words.
"How about you come to Suzhou and live for two months?" Qin Huai tried to adopt plan B. Luo Jun decisively refused: "No, no, no."
"You'd better wait until I'm dead before coming back. What do you want on the phone?"
Qin Luo quickly looked serious: "I want to ask what does it mean that there is a turning point in the tribulation?" "That's what it means literally."
Now that we were talking about business, there was no sound from the TV series on the other end of Luo Jun's phone, so he probably pressed pause.
"You really have a spirit-absorbing physique, and you met a new spirit monster just three days after you went to Gusu. Remember that Chen Huihong and I told you that spirits will continue to reincarnate and gradually lose their memory after they fail to escape the tribulation for the first time.
Until I forget everything and become like Qu Jing. I also think that I am a normal person, but my obsession will affect some of my behaviors."
"right."
"Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for a spirit to survive the tribulation in its last life. But in the process of reincarnation, if you are lucky, you don't have to wait until you encounter the so-called straw in the last life to successfully escape the tribulation.
"
"The new one you met probably had this opportunity."
There are actually many such spirits. When many spirits reach their third life, if they have forgotten many memories, they will forget that they are spirits, but they will still have the remaining memories of previous lives in their minds."
"At this time, the spirit may forget his obsession, but if he accidentally does something that can relieve his obsession, or meets someone who can help him resolve his obsession, he will be in this awakening state.
"
"This should be the situation you encountered. Basically, you don't need to worry about this situation. Unless he encounters some setbacks, he will definitely succeed in overcoming the tribulation in this life."
Zuo Huai was still a little puzzled and asked: "This situation sounds very good. There are residual memories but not trapped by the memories. Theoretically speaking, the success rate of overcoming the tribulation should be very high."
Luo Jun: "...This is only theoretical. In most cases, it is to go to extremes. Either you will be regarded as a madman, or you will feel that there is something wrong with your brain. Isn't Chen Huihong a typical example?"
"Although she was a bit unlucky, and her life was indeed short in the intervening lives, didn't she live a normal life in one life? What's the use of living a normal life? She went to extremes and died suddenly at work. Can a normal person do such a thing?"
Qin Huai was a little convinced.
"Then I don't really need to worry about it, right?" "Have you triggered the mission?" Luo Jun asked.
"Triggered."
"Then maybe you should take care of it. After all, you met him, maybe you were the one who suffered the setback." Qin Huai:...
Slander, pure slander, he just made a fool of himself and did nothing!
But of course Qin Huai still has to complete the mission. It is rare to encounter such a clear mission, and the mission rewards are also good. It would be a pity not to complete it.
The most important thing is that Gong Liang is really generous. He bought a card for a bone setting shop worth RMB 20,000. Although Huang Ji's back chef has one card for everyone, it is considered an employee benefit, but Qin Huai is not a formal employee of Huang Ji.
He just didn't know if Gong Liang could reciprocate the favor by helping Gong Liang awaken and let him inherit 10% of the inheritance. Qin Huai walked into the bone setting shop with good wishes.
Chapter completed!
