Huang Shengli took over the responsibility of teaching after winning the argument and started giving theoretical classes skillfully.
"Suiyuan Food List" emphasizes the importance of the quality of ingredients on the instruction sheet. To make a table of delicious dishes, the chef responsible for cooking will have 60% of the credit, and the person who purchased the ingredients will have 40% of the credit. It can be seen from this that if you want to
To become a good chef, you must first know how to choose good ingredients.
Qin Huai had read some "Suiyuan Food List" - Qin Luo bought one when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school.
I bought it from a second-hand book stall at the back door of the elementary school. It costs three yuan a book, which is two yuan more expensive than the Encyclopedia of Dim Sum. Qin Luo thought that "Suiyuan Food List" was the same recipe as "The Encyclopedia of Dim Sum", and when he opened it, he could find different delicacies.
You can go back and do it.
After buying it, I found that it was actually a classical Chinese book with translation. Although Qin Luo was sad that he had spent 3 yuan in vain, he still read "Suiyuan Food List" for the sake of money, and Qin Huai also read it together.
several pages.
I have read the instructions on the first few pages.
Qin Huai was deeply impressed by the last duty instruction.
Its general meaning is that the main cooking methods of Manchu cuisine and Han cuisine are different. The chefs on both sides have been accustomed to their respective dishes since childhood, so they are very good at their own methods. So when they entertain each other, they use the methods they are good at to prepare dishes.
When the time comes, the guests will find it delicious and the chef will not lose his own characteristics.
But now many chefs have forgotten to maintain their own characteristics and deliberately try to please the guests. Not only are they unable to make the characteristics of each other's dishes, but they also lose their own heart. This is like a scholar entering an examination room.
When the master imitates the master, when the examiner imitates the examiner, you will only learn superficially and will never pass the exam.
The reason why Qin Huai was deeply impressed by this duty instruction was not because he thought it was written correctly, but because he thought it was nonsense.
What's wrong with imitation? Qin Huai has been making dim sum by reading recipes and learning from other people's recipes since he was a child. He learned from the Dim Sum Encyclopedia when he met him, and he learned from the pastry shop owner when he met the pastry shop owner. He rarely failed and received many praises.
That is to say, the level of contact now is a bit high, and I couldn’t learn from Zheng Da.
After Qin Huai completely imitated Zheng Da's method for the first time and made a big mistake, the instructions for his duties came to his mind. Is he now that scholar who can only learn superficially and will never pass the exam in his life?
Qin Huai is still learning how to select crabs from Huang Shengli.
He knows how to pick shrimps, but he is really not good at picking crabs. But crab is the most important thing in crab roe shaomai. Crab roe is the provider of the most overbearing flavor in crab roe shaomai, and crab meat is the supplement to crab roe to make it less overbearing.
There are two star ingredients in this snack.
How to select crabs, get the meat, how much meat to get, and how to judge the status of crab roe and crab meat are the most important aspects of the preliminary preparations.
Of course, if Qin Huai is the master chef of the restaurant, he can do this by hand. No master chef will do this kind of preliminary work of handling side dishes, and even Huang Shengli will not do this unless necessary.
.
But not doing it doesn't mean that he won't do it. Qin Huai must know how to do it now before he has the right not to do it. Qin Huai quietly turned his head and glanced at Zheng Da, who had wandered to the side of the steamer.
Zheng Da was squatting next to the steamer watching the video. When he saw it, he was so focused that Qin Huai could vaguely hear a few key words: lecture, method, expression, description.
It can be seen that Zheng Da really wants to win the argument.
Zheng Siyuan was practicing his own on the side. He usually didn't come to Huang Ji's kitchen in the afternoon. He heard that Qin Huai turned over a big one yesterday, and today it was a rare Zheng Da. Huang Shengli gathered in the kitchen, and Zheng Siyuan came to join in.
Let's take a look at the fun and see if we need to break up the fight.
Gong Liang is no longer sitting at the door of the kitchen, but he seems to have not left. He went outside to make phone calls and handle work.
Qin Huai thinks that Gong Liang will most likely not be able to eat the crab roe shaomai made by Zheng Da this afternoon. Today, Master Zheng's teaching license has been revoked and he is prohibited from teaching. Gong Liang's trip is in vain. Qin Huai plans to open a small stove for Gong Liang tomorrow and make two
Give me some fruit to prevent your favorability from falling back.
Qin Huai was picking crabs according to the method taught by Huang Shengli. He picked up one and looked at Huang Shengli. He felt relieved when he saw the other person's approving eyes. "Master Huang, I have a question for you." Qin Huai said softly.
"Oh? Tell me." Huang Shengli immediately cheered up.
"I know that in theory, when learning something, you shouldn't blindly imitate it." Qin Huai put the selected crabs into the plastic frame and began to choose the next plump crab he wanted. "But it's hard for me not to imitate."
"I never thought there was anything wrong with imitation before. Even when I was making apple noodles, I was completely imitating Zheng Siyuan." "But now I am also imitating. I even think my skill in making stuffing is pretty good.
But he imitated it like this."
"Is my method wrong from the beginning? This shouldn't be the way to make snacks?"
Huang Shengli did not answer immediately, but smiled and helped Qin Huai pick another crab.
"If Huang Jia asked me this, I would definitely tell him that yes, this is not how dim sum is made."
"Huang Jia is facing the same problem now. I taught him his cooking step by step. He taught me by words and deeds from a young age. He is simply a younger version of me. When you eat his food, you can clearly taste my style. You will know it as soon as you eat it."
This is my apprentice."
"He became famous because of this, and he was trapped because of it. When I was here, he helped me at Huangji. The old diners came for my cooking and were willing to try Huang Jia's cooking. But I was not here, and there was no regular meal.
Lord, an imitator with poor craftsmanship is not enough to attract so many customers, and Huang Ji’s business will cease immediately.”
"This is Huang Jia's dilemma. He has this trouble. He has been thinking about how to get rid of the shadow of my master, how to stop imitating and making his own dishes." "This is actually the dilemma of most celebrity chef disciples. If
If they are ordinary celebrity chef disciples, I will definitely tell them that this is wrong and they cannot blindly imitate their cooking."
Qin Huai felt that Huang Shengli's words would be wrong.
"But you are different." Huang Shengli said, "Do you think Zheng Siyuan's dim sum is similar to Zheng Da's?"
"It's like." Qin Huai said with certainty. It's more than just like it. As soon as he eats it, he knows that it is a snack made by his father and son, who came from the same school. The father and son stand together and make snacks. They look like they are copying and pasting. The techniques and movements are similar.
.
"Then do you think Siyuan's dim sum is imitating Zheng Da?" Qin Huai was asked.
It is true that Zheng Da's craftsmanship is better than Zheng Siyuan's. Their dim sum styles, methods, and sects are the same, but when it comes to imitation, that's not true. Zheng Siyuan is a dim sum chef with a very personal style.
The dim sum he is good at and the dim sum he is not good at are very obvious and distinct. As long as he eats the dim sum he is good at and eats it a few times, he will be able to taste it the next time he takes a bite and it is made by Zheng Siyuan.
"For ordinary chefs, blind imitation is the threshold that constrains them. But for chefs like you and Siyuan, imitation is a way for you to master it quickly." "This kind of ordinary bottleneck will not constrain you at all.
I guess Xiao Qin you asked me this because you didn’t imitate the crab roe shaomai well.” Huang Shengli said with a genuine smile.
Qin Huai lowered his head in shame. Huang Shengli's words were still too tactful. Not only did he not imitate well, it was simply tragic.
"Don't worry, this is not your problem, it's purely because Zheng Da doesn't know how to teach." Huang Shengli glanced at Zheng Da, who was still immersed in watching the video, "He wanted to be a master for a moment, but he didn't do it well.
Ability. I want to take you flying before you can walk steadily. How can I skip steps like that?"
"Follow me for two days to familiarize yourself with the dishes, establish a connection with the ingredients, and then season them to make crab roe shaomai. Don't do crab roe siomai for these two days. You will be a small worker for two days, specializing in handling the ingredients."
Of course Qin Huai doesn't mind handling the ingredients, as long as Huang Ji doesn't mind, he can do anything.
"What about the processed ingredients?" Qin Huai felt that Huang Ji didn't seem to have that many shrimp and crab dishes that needed to be chopped.
"Let Zheng Da make crab roe shaomai. He is idle anyway. You can learn while you are doing it and watching it. Doesn't he want to be a master? To be a master, you have to do your homework in advance." Huang Shengli said, junior brother, please work hard.
It's nothing. Junior brother has a good waist and can make snacks.
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten crab roe siomai in a row for several years. If I let him cook it for a while, I can enjoy the taste." Qin Huai:.
The relationship between you senior brothers is really unpredictable.
In this way, Qin Huai began his life as a dessert chef who directed in the morning, and as a food preparer who was directed by others in the afternoon.
Every day he worked diligently to pick shrimps, pick crabs, peel shrimps and pick crab meat, chop shrimp meat into small pieces, and chop crab meat into pieces. Qin Huai soon became a crab man, and he smelled like crab wherever he went.
Anyone in the kitchen didn't even need to look up, they knew Qin Huai was coming just by smelling the smell.
This kind of training method for vegetable preparation workers is really useful.
Listening to the theoretical knowledge about shrimp and crab meat 1,000 times is not as useful as actually peeling shrimp and crabs for four or five days. Only practice can give true knowledge.
For the employees of Huangji Kitchen, these few days are also very magical. During the morning and noon time, no one can see Zheng Da and Huang Shengli.
Zheng Da didn't want to get up early unless necessary, and he didn't want to come to the kitchen before noon.
Huang Shengli can get up, but he doesn't want to come to the kitchen. In the morning, he either drinks tea or does physical therapy. The two brothers usually have to wait until 2 noon to meet at the summit behind Huang Ji.
Then they started quarreling as soon as they met. Whoever wins the quarrel gets to teach them.
Huang Shengli usually has a good personality with a smile, talks softly and doesn't lose his temper very much, but when it comes to quarreling, he still has very strong skills and has never been at a disadvantage. Every time, Huang Shengli wins, and the quarrels are loud.
Zheng Da threw away his armor and was completely defeated.
Zheng Da can only watch videos related to teaching resources for an hour every day to learn how to be a qualified teacher, and then he can make crab roe shaomai. The kitchen is wonderful, and the door to the kitchen is not bad either.
Gong Liang bought a comfortable chair instead of sitting on a small bench. He brought the chair to the kitchen door every day and squatted on crab roe shaomai. Occasionally, he made a few phone calls to deal with work matters, so that people passing by could not help but ask about your wealth.
Are all free capitalists so idle?
It’s not just the bosses in the TV series who don’t go to work every day and don’t do anything serious, and just focus on falling in love. The middle-aged bosses in your real life also don’t go to work every day and don’t do anything serious, and just do snacks.
Is crab roe siomai that delicious? Okay, yes.
If you really don't work, it's still worth staying. Gong Liang has a house in the opposite community, and he has been living in the opposite community recently. It's very close. This kind of wonderful life where students work as laborers, the masters quarrel, and the onlookers bring their own small benches.
It lasted for 6 days.
It’s not that Qin Huai stopped working as a part-time worker on the 7th day.
He had to continue working as a laborer. Although he had already started to try to mix the fillings for the crab roe shaomai, he had to take full responsibility for handling the ingredients. Mainly because a very important thing happened on the seventh day.
One thing that has little to do with crab roe shaomai, but has a lot to do with many other dim sums. Qin Huai’s noodles have been upgraded.
Advanced dough!
After Qin Huai went to Suzhou, he practiced hard for a period of time first on the heat and then on the seasoning. Finally, God rewarded his hard work, and Emperor Tian paid off. Thanks to his hard work, Qin Huai was successfully promoted from intermediate to advanced level.
Isn't this a kind of progress?
Qin Huai realized that his dough had been upgraded when he was kneading the dough for the last batch of fermented steamed buns. This feeling of upgrade was very mysterious.
The feeling of upgrading from intermediate to advanced is more obvious than that from beginner to intermediate. It is not exaggerated to the point where it feels like you have instantly opened up the Rendu and Du channels and understood the peerless magical skills, but it does feel better when kneading the dough.
The dough on your hands is more obedient and easier to handle.
There was a major breakthrough in dough making, and Qin Huai felt that he should celebrate it. But how to celebrate?
He now practices crab roe siomai every afternoon. The most important thing about crab roe siomai is making noodles.
Using high-grade baking dough to knead the skin of crab roe shaomai can even create a feeling of a hero with no place to play.
How about doing something else?
What to do? Who to do it for?
Huang Jiadiao's chicken stock seems pretty good today.
It smelled so good that Qin Huai couldn't help but drink half a bowl to taste it when he just passed by. Huang Jia thought Qin Huai was hungry because he had eaten less in the morning, so he asked Qin Huai if he would like to temporarily open a small stove and cook two dishes for Qin Huai.
Pad it first.
Qin Huai felt that it was a bit too monotonous for people like Huang Ji to serve a big pot of rice every day at noon. Speaking of which, the waiters in the lobby and private rooms had not eaten the breakfast he cooked.
Qin Huai's daily breakfast is made according to the number of kitchen employees. Occasionally the foreman comes early and can have a bite. The ordinary waiters must have never eaten it. It's so inappropriate. Everyone has been colleagues for so long.
I have never tasted my own craft.
Although Qin Huai didn't remember what the waiters looked like at all, and he couldn't even remember the names of the waiters in his own canteen, he wanted to show off his high-end noodles.
The newly upgraded famian is not shown to everyone, just like Jinyi walks at night.
If you don’t eat it, how can I show off in a low-key manner that my craftsmanship has improved?
Qin Huai quickly finished the last batch of fermented steamed buns, and silently moved to Huang Jia, who had just finished frying a portion of stir-fried three shredded buns, and asked: "Brother Jia, who is responsible for the staff meal at noon today?"
"Dong Li is in charge. What, are you hungry? Tell me what you want to eat. I have a few more dishes here. I'll cook them for you when I'm free." "No, no." Qin Huai said repeatedly.
Waving his hand, "I want to be responsible."
Huang Jia paused while looking at the order: "You?"
"Yes!" Qin Huai said sincerely, "To be honest with Brother Jia, I have dealt with too many shrimps and crabs during this period. I really want to make snacks. The fixed amount of snacks every day is not enough for me.
.”
"And I really want to make noodles. I couldn't finish the amount I made in the morning, and I want to continue making noodles at noon." "You guys don't mind eating chicken noodle soup for lunch, right?"
Huang Jia:..
Are you Baikan dim sum chefs a little bit perverted?
He always thought it was outrageous that Zheng Siyuan would go back to make snacks after the blind date, but he didn't expect Qin Huai to be the same. What could Huang Jia say? He also wanted to eat chicken noodle soup.
Who can refuse a bowl of chicken noodle soup made by Qin Huai himself, which is steaming hot, full of texture, fragrant, and has mushrooms and green vegetables? It would be better if Qin Huai could not cook the noodles himself and let him cook it.
"Let me talk to Dong Shi." Huang Jiadao. Seeing Qin Huai turn around and leave in excitement, he couldn't help but stop him. "Well..." Huang Jia didn't know what to say for a moment, "Qin Huai, you don't want anything either.
Too much pressure." "The first two crab roe siomai are nothing, your craftsmanship is obvious to all."
Qin Huai still didn't understand why Huang Jia suddenly started to comfort him inexplicably, but since it was comfort, it was a good intention, so he nodded and accepted. "I don't have any pressure." Qin Huai said, "I just suddenly wanted to make noodles.
"
