Qin Huai's vacation went very smoothly and basically caused no disturbance.
As a well-known high-end restaurant, Huang Kee not only has expensive food, but also has excellent service over the years.
For example, when Huang Shengli is still working normally, if Huang Shengli takes a break and the diners order Huang Shengli's famous signature dishes, such as eel paste, the waiter will remind the guests that the chef is not here today and this dish
Dishes will be prepared by Huang Jia or other stove chefs.
Of course, only Huang Shengli's signature dishes would be reminded like this. After all, the prices of these signature dishes at Huangji Restaurant are unparalleled.
Later, Huang Shengli's waist started to feel bad and he took more frequent breaks. So Huang Ji redesigned a batch of menus. These menus were called A menu and B menu by old diners. A menu was from when Huang Shengli was here.
The menu and prices are all original prices. Order B is the menu when Huang Shengli is away. The prices of Huang Shengli's signature dishes will be greatly reduced. After the menu change, Huang Ji's old customers don't need to ask the waiter if Huang Shengli is coming today.
How about it? You can find out just by flipping through the menu.
Of course, placing an order B does not mean that Huang Shengli will not randomly drop the items. Sometimes Huang Shengli will be too eager to cook a few dishes at random, so that the guests who eat the dishes he cooks will be surprised by the blind box opening of a limited edition.
.
With Huang Shengli, the chef who takes vacations from time to time, in front of him, the regular diners accepted Qin Huai's six-day vacation very well. Qin Huai's customers are the most stable among all Huang Ji's chefs.
He is a chef at Bai An and sells dim sum. The most famous, most praised, and most recognized by the public is the relatively cheap fermented rice dumplings.
18 yuan a piece of fermented steamed buns is of course an astonishing price if sold in an ordinary breakfast shop. But if you put it in Huangji, coupled with its taste, the price is not so unacceptable.
Qin Huai's dim sum is only sold during lunch time, and many customers buy his dim sum for breakfast.
Those who have plenty of money will even eat it every day, and if they don’t have time, they will ask errand boys to come and squat. Among the snacks on Qinhuai’s menu, except for baked snacks such as crab shell roe and Yuanmeng sesame seed cakes, which need to be freshly baked and are more delicious if they are bought and eaten now,
The rest are packaged and ordered for takeout, which basically does not affect the taste of the food.
When Huang Ji announced that Chef Xiao Qin would take off this month's and last month's holidays for 6 consecutive days, many guests even secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Regular customers, especially the neighbors who live nearby, all know that Huang
I remember that chefs have 4 days off per month, and these 4 days are not fixed.
Everyone has different arrangements for precious holidays. Some people like to take one day off a week to combine work and rest; some people like to take it all at once at the beginning of the month and think about the holidays; some people take it before and after holidays so that they can visit relatives and friends without having to work.
Affecting peak business during holidays.
The most common ones are to take a break when something happens, go on a blind date, go on a date, travel, participate in an exchange meeting, and watch a drama that you have saved for a month in two days. This kind of break is the most random, and you can't predict the day of the break.
For such trivial matters as the chef taking a break, restaurants generally do not notify guests, let alone make public announcements. But Qin Huai is different. Qin Huai is a rare and precious white table chef who has exclusive dim sum.
Qin Huai's vacation touches the hearts of many people.
Previously, Qin Huai didn't take a day off for more than a month. Many old diners speculated that Qin Huai planned to save up his vacation for a big vacation. Now that the suspicion has been confirmed, everyone just feels that the stone in their hearts has fallen to the ground, and they no longer need to be suspicious and worried about the day.
I couldn't buy steamed buns when I went to Huang Kee at noon.
Faced with Master Xiao Qin's leave, the neighbors accepted it well. Some well-informed people even heard that Qin Huai took six days off at once to go home to see his family, so they went to Huang Ji to give Qin Huai souvenirs and asked Huang Ji to
The waiter handed it to Master Xiao Qin.
Master Xiao Qin makes snacks every day without taking a break for more than a month. He works so hard and must not have time to go shopping and have fun. He doesn't know much about Gusu and doesn't know what local specialties are worth buying.
Those of us who eat dim sum should think carefully about the chef who makes the dim sum. We should buy some truly unique souvenirs for Master Xiao Qin to take home and show to his family. Our place in Suzhou is quite good.
The guests are all very nice and the working environment is also very good, so don't worry.
I'll be back after 6 days. It just so happens that New Year's Day will be right after I come back, and the Chinese New Year will be coming soon. Everyone is waiting for Master Xiao Qin to show off his skills during the Chinese New Year. Huang Ji will have a special New Year's Eve dinner every year during the Chinese New Year.
, the three-head banquet, which is usually only reserved for wedding banquets, will also appear at the New Year's Eve dinner.
It can be said that among the residents of these old communities near Huangji, there are many children who have worked hard for a year locally or out of town and saved a whole year to go home for the New Year. Just to grab a table of the highest quality New Year's Eve dinner.
, the whole family has a good meal together.
Eating dim sum is very popular here in Suzhou, not to mention during the Chinese New Year. Every household has cake dumplings, rice cakes, and eight-treasure rice. Any restaurant with a white table will launch a New Year’s dim sum gift box during the Chinese New Year.
The desserts are exquisitely made, beautiful and festive.
Wong Kee Restaurant has not had a dim sum chef in recent years, so it does not sell dim sum gift boxes during the Chinese New Year. But isn’t it available this year?
Although it's only December, many people are already looking forward to what this year's dim sum gift box will be.
Qin Huai didn't know that some people started looking forward to dim sum gift boxes. He didn't even know that dim sum gift boxes could be sold individually at high prices during the Chinese New Year. In previous years, Qin's breakfast shop was closed during the Chinese New Year.
The last breakfast is sold on the morning of New Year's Eve. At 9 o'clock in the morning, no matter whether it is sold out or not, it is necessary to close the door, clean the house, and return to the countryside with large and small bags of New Year's goods and luggage to celebrate the New Year.
Mr. Qin and Grandma Qin gave birth to two children, Qin Congwen and Qin Xiuli. In their time, the population was definitely sparse. Qin Congwen only had Qin Huai, his adopted son, and Qin Luo, his biological daughter, and Qin Xiuli only had his own daughter.
What a parent-child.
Although Qin Xiuli is a daughter from a foreign marriage, her husband He Ye is from the next village. Qin Xiuli is worried every year during the New Year. Because there are not many people in her family, her parents will be very lonely during the New Year, so she often takes her husband and children to Qin.
When traveling to every village, even if it’s New Year’s Eve, I still have to wait until five or six in the afternoon before going back.
Regarding Qin Xiuli's behavior, his parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, uncles and sisters-in-law strongly supported it, and they wished they could do it themselves.
The family of three still had limited abilities and could not bring back many snacks. He Cheng still had to eat while walking.
If conditions do not allow and the food looks too ugly, they all want to propose that the two families celebrate the New Year together. What about your family and my family? Although we have different surnames, we are all one family. What's wrong with having a New Year's Eve dinner together?
As for Qin Huai, he had never felt that the Qin family was sparse. There were not many direct relatives, but many other relatives.
And the relatives are very enthusiastic. I don’t know why, but they come here to visit me on New Year’s Eve. They don’t come empty-handed, but they come with their hands filled with big and small bags. It doesn’t make sense that they don’t return some snacks.
On the first day of the new year, the house in his hometown is so big that there is no room for people. People have to move chairs outside to sit in the yard. The New Year gifts sent cannot fit into one room. Every year during the New Year, Qin Huai always starts from the kitchen on the third day of the new year.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snacks were steamed to such an extent that people from far away would think the Qin family was on fire.
This is why even though Qin Huai has been working at Huang Jilian for a month, he starts making breakfast every morning, works normally at noon in the morning, and works overtime in the afternoon to practice crab roe siomai. Even if he feels that the intensity of the high-intensity work is not enough, he can add more.
Because he has really taken more intense classes. This level of intensity is all a warm-up for the New Year.
Qin Huai was sitting on the plane, wondering why he suddenly thought of the New Year. There were still nearly two months until the New Year. Maybe it was because he hadn't made snacks for Qin Luo for too long.
Thinking about it carefully, this is probably the first time since Qin Luo was able to eat noodles that he has not eaten Qin Huai's Bai'an snacks for more than a month. It's really hard for Luo Luo.
Qin Huai looked at the memo on his phone, which noted the snacks he wanted to make for Qin Luo during this period.
Qin Luo's performance in this monthly exam and the last monthly exam were both good. Last time he was twelfth from the bottom of the class, and this time he was seventeenth from the bottom. His progress was very obvious, and he deserves a good reward. Excluding two rounds of back and forth.
God, in the remaining 4 days, Qin Luo should be able to eat crab roe Shaomai, fermented rice cakes, Wudingbao, Sophora japonica steamed buns, Yuanmeng Shaobing, crab shell roe, lard rice cakes, cake dumplings, glutinous rice cakes, jujube yam cakes,
Apple noodles and fruit.
Qin Huai couldn't make B-level fruit by himself, so he brought a batch of raw embryos with him this time and steamed them for Qin Luo when he got back. As for the cake balls and lard rice cakes, Qin Huai wanted it from Huang Ji's kitchen.
When doing something else for a change, I just followed the Romans.
As a newbie, he was doing a bit of work, so he could give Qin Luo a taste. Qin Huai's plane landed at 2:27 noon.
This time he didn't ask Chen Huihong to pick her up because he didn't bring the 80 kilograms of shortbreads that Chen Huihong wanted - Zheng Siyuan really didn't want to make so many shortbreads.
Qin Huai brought 20 kilograms.
Well, the reason why Chen Huihong failed to pick her up at the airport was actually because today is Saturday. Chen Huihong had to go to school in the morning to hold a parent-teacher meeting for Chen Huihui. In the afternoon, she made an appointment with several familiar parents to take her children to the zoo, so she couldn't spare time.
She asked Chen Yingjun to arrange a driver to pick up Qin Huai.
Chen Huihong sent the driver's photo and license plate to Qin Huai, and told Qin Huai that the driver would be waiting for him at the airport. Qin Huai had no experience of being picked up at the airport, so he was a little nervous at first, but he felt less nervous as soon as he walked out of the exit.
The figure attacked him like a cannonball, almost causing him to stumble.
I haven't seen him for more than a month, and Qin Luo seems to have grown a bit.
"Brother! You are finally back. I thought you were going to stay in Gusu and never come back! Do you know that I miss you so much? Do you know what I eat every morning now? I have lost weight.
Have you seen it? I'm so hungry and so thin!!!" Qin Luo poked his chin.
Qin Huai said he didn't see it.
"Have you bought crabs?" Qin Huai asked.
Qin Luo nodded repeatedly: "I bought it. I bought a lot. As soon as you called my dad the day before yesterday, he asked Sister Xi to find someone to order it. I bought a lot of them and kept them in the water tank and crawled around."
"I heard Sister Xi say that crabs are not as plump as before, and there are not many crab roe. They will be out of the market soon. Brother, it would be better if you came back early." Qin Luo pouted, with a look of grievance on his face.
"You don't like eating crabs. In the past few years, you would vomit if you smell the smell of crabs. I don't know if you can eat crab roe shaomai. If you eat one and then vomit, I'm afraid it will ruin my brand." Qin Huai laughed.
Dao, seeing Qin Luo's unconvinced face, he quickly smiled and comforted him.
"Don't worry, I've seen your monthly exam results for the past two months. You did really well. Our family, Luo Luo, has also worked hard during this period of study, and I feel aggrieved that I didn't get anything good." "I have some in my suitcase.
Half a box of fruit embryos, as well as the shortcakes, Dingsheng cakes and fresh meat moon cakes made by your brother Siyuan, I will steam them and bake them for you when I get back later."
"Have you eaten today?"
"I ate a roasted chicken leg." Qin Luo said honestly.
Qin Huai understood. He ate an appetizer of chicken drumsticks and waited for him to come back to prepare something delicious.
"Then go back and eat some shortbread first to cushion your stomach. If you want to eat anything, I'll make it for you when you get back." "I'll let you eat as much as you want in the past few days!"
Qin Luo originally wanted to pretend to be calm and pretend that I am not the kind of sister who will be dismissed by a little profit. Brother, you don't have me in your heart at all. It is too much to not come back for more than a month. But it turned out that
When it came to Qin Huai's last words, he couldn't hold it back and smiled so hard that his molars were exposed.
I can't help it, I can't help it at all.
Qin Luo now even regrets that he went to the pedestrian street next to the shopping mall in the morning and bought a roasted chicken leg to eat.
Alas, what kind of chicken drumsticks are there? If I had known that I could order snacks if I had enough, she shouldn't have eaten since yesterday! Qin Luo happily helped Qin Huai carry his suitcase.
"I didn't ask just now, why did you come to pick up the plane?" Qin Huai followed Qin Luo and walked out.
Qin Luo looked for the car and said: "Mom said that I have been in the cafeteria all morning, jumping up and down and couldn't sit still, and it was annoying to watch. She asked me to come and pick you up in case you can't find what Uncle Chen arranged.
driver."
It took Qin Huai a few seconds to realize that the uncle Chen Qin Luo was talking about was Chen Yingjun.
His name is Sister Chen Huihong, Chen Huihui calls him Brother Qinhuai, and his sister is Chen Huihong’s younger brother, Uncle Chen. It’s good, everyone really has their own opinions.
Soon, Qin Luo led Qin Huai to find the car. The driver arranged by Chen Yingjun was an honest-looking middle-aged man who only drove and did not speak during the whole journey. Qin Huai and Qin Luo sat in the back seat and chatted.
"How has the canteen's business been during the more than a month I've been away?" Qin Luo asked.
"It's pretty good. We can sell out anyway." Qin Luo usually goes to school and doesn't have a very specific idea about the business of Yunzhong Canteen. "We didn't have enough manpower and hired two handymen, and we also hired new helpers in the kitchen.
But I’m not very familiar with it.”
Qin Huai knew about recruiting new helpers. Huang Xi had greeted him and Qin Huai had agreed.
For more than a month, although Qin Huai was not at Yunzhong Canteen, he hired two chefs with good skills at the restaurant before he left. They were both at the restaurant level.
Qinhuai went to Huang Ji Neng to be very popular, and two restaurant-level chefs were more than enough to come to the community canteen. Although the diners were slightly dissatisfied (after all, the level was far inferior to Qinhuai), they had no choice, and besides Yunzhong Canteen, the dim sum at other stores
It tastes worse.
Everyone can only talk about when Master Xiao Qin will come back, but they are honest enough to patronize and spend every day.
In addition, Li Hua and Pei Xing are both very mature professional chefs with stable and efficient styles. After the canteen recruits the helpers they need, the efficiency will reach a higher level. In this more than a month, the turnover of Yunzhong Canteen has not been high.
Falling instead of rising.
In addition, the boss is not out to play, but to work another job with a very high salary. From the perspective of efficiency, Yunzhong Canteen is making a lot of money. From the perspective of diners, everyone is almost crying.
It is true that Pei Xing and Li Hua's cooking skills are indeed good, and both of them are from Zhiweiju.
When Qin Huai had never seen the world before, he had no idea about the origins of Zhiweiju. Now after seeing the world, he deeply realized that if Zheng Da hadn't been the matchmaker, it would have been impossible for these two chefs to come to work at Yunzhong Canteen.
.
But the guests at Yunzhong Canteen have had better meals.
Qin Huai, Zheng Siyuan and Zheng Da.
In a sense, the guests at Yunzhong Canteen have seen quite a bit of the world.
There is no harm if there is no comparison. Pei Xing and Li Hua are not as good as Qin Huai, Zheng Siyuan and Zheng Da even though they are from professional backgrounds.
The guests at Yunzhong Canteen almost went crazy thinking about Qin Huai.
The elders and aunties in Yunzhong Community were sitting in the Yunzhong cafeteria chatting. It was no longer just chatting. They were just thinking about people and touching the scene. Everyone was thinking about it day and night, looking forward to Qin Huai's early return.
If we don't come back, everyone will almost forget what it was like to eat Wu Ding Bao and fermented steamed buns every morning.
I didn't think it was anything when I ate it every day before, but now I know how to cherish it after losing it.
Not only the adults and aunts in Yunzhong Community think about it, but also the office workers in nearby office buildings.
I used to think that the breakfast in Yunzhong Canteen was expensive, and I had to grit my teeth to buy three or five Ding Bao. Now I don’t have the chance to feel guilty, so I just didn’t buy it.
I can't eat even if I want to, and I don't have the energy to go to work.
The breakfast made by the new chef is good, but it is not as good as the Bai Yueguang in my heart.
This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that after working all morning, I subconsciously clicked on my mobile phone to grab tangerine peel tea, but found that I couldn’t drink the tangerine peel tea.
Then I really don’t even want to go to class.
Many office workers dare not think about how they survived in the days without three or five Ding Bao and tangerine peel tea.
At 3:59 p.m., a black car parked at the entrance of Yunzhong Canteen
The elderly and aunties in the cafeteria, who were thinking about something they saw, glanced out the window, didn't pay attention, and then fell in love with the scene.
Then the car door opened.
Qin Luo walked down,
Xu Tuqiang, who was sitting by the window, said: "Luoluo went out to play and came back. It didn't take long for her to come back."
Then Xu Tuqiang opened his eyes wide, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, opened his eyes wide again, and rubbed them again.
It wasn't until Qin Huai walked to the trunk and took down the suitcase that Xu Tuqiang dared to believe what he saw. He stood up and shouted in surprise:
"Master Xiao Qin is back!"
"Oh my god, Master Xiao Qin is back!!!"
For a moment, the entire Yunzhong Canteen was in a state of commotion. The adults who were not sitting by the windows ran toward the door or the window, craning their necks and looking out with wide eyes. When they saw familiar faces, they shed tears.
Come down.
It's Qin Huai, it's really Qin Huai, he's back!
Two minutes later, the photo of Qin Huai opening the trunk and taking his luggage spread to the owners of Yunzhong Community and the ordering group of Yunzhong Canteen. On this day, all the guests of Yunzhong Canteen were running around to tell each other.
Master Xiao Qin is back. There will be breakfast tomorrow morning!
Chapter completed!
