Qin Huai wandered around the kitchen for a while and found that the six people at Zhiweiju all practiced in the same way, which was to make the same snack over and over again.
This is a very traditional training method. Qin Huai also practiced this way when he was practicing crab roe siomai. However, when Qin Huai was practicing crab roe siomai, there were two masters Huang Shengli and Zheng Da watching him. If there were obvious problems, he could
Pointing out problems in a timely manner that are not obvious and may be discovered by himself, Zheng Da and Huang Shengli will wait to see if Qin Huai will do it again next time.
However, the 6 people at Zhiweiju do not have a master to guide them. When problems arise, they have to rely on themselves to discover and reflect on them. They may have to wait until they cannot solve the problem before they can find a suitable time to ask the master for advice.
This kind of practice will make their cooking skills progress very slowly. The problem cannot be pointed out immediately, but it will be triggered many times and persist. By the time the chef himself realizes it, bad habits have been formed, and then
Take the time to break bad habits and you won't waste too much time and energy in the process.
Only at this moment did Qin Huai realize the importance of the role of master in the process of a chef learning to cook.
No wonder everyone wants to worship a good master.
Alas, no, I didn’t have a master in the early years, so I didn’t get along like this.
The value of "The Encyclopedia of Dim Sum" is still increasing.
Qin Huai just looked around with his teacup in hand, casually reminding anyone who had obvious problems.
"There is obviously something wrong with the proportion of your fillings. Adding so many spices has covered up the original taste of the ingredients. No matter whether it is steaming, frying or frying, good snacks cannot contain such heavy spices. Yours is still a pork-filled snack.
"
"Kneading is not like this. Kneading and kneading are two actions. When the dough reaches this stage, what you have to do is to release the air through repeated kneading. Look at Gu Li, that is the correct way of kneading."
"What are you making now? Si Xi dumplings? Are these 4 kinds of fillings used to make Si Xi dumplings? What's the problem... No, I'm just a little surprised. Let me know when this steamer is ready and I'll try it.
Taste it, I have never tasted such authentic Sixi Dumplings.”
"You..."
Qin Huai didn't want to point fingers at first.
When he saw Gu Li practicing, he couldn't help but go up and say a few words. It was because Gu Li's basic skills were so good. They were as basic as a textbook and had skills as good as a question book. If he didn't say a few words, he would be sorry for "Dim Sum"
Encyclopedia.
Qin Huai just wanted to say something, but unexpectedly Gu Li not only listened, but also immediately changed it. Although the effect of the change was not ideal, his determination to change it was touching.
Then, when Qin Huai walked to another person with a tea cup, he thought that the helper whose name he couldn't remember had poured him tea in the morning, so he couldn't help but say something again.
Changed quickly.
Look at the other one, this one also poured tea.
Say something
Change it immediately.
Next, this is the one who makes tea. Let’s talk about it.
Not only did it change, but it also included a sentence: Thank you, Master Qin.
As expected of a tea maker.
The one at the back... This one has never made or poured tea. This one is Tan Wei'an.
Qin Huai hesitated for a moment and then said it.
Tan Wei'an did not change it directly, but discussed it with Qin Huai, explaining all the methods, techniques, effects, and principles of dim sum. He emphasized what his grandfather, Master Tan, made during his lifetime, and what he makes now.
What is it like? I want Qin Huai to give me some advice.
Qin Huai suggested that you practice more cooking.
Tan Wei'an is the most skilled person in this field. He is the grandson of a famous teacher. He has solid basic skills and has learned a lot of techniques. As for big problems, there are really no big problems. There are definitely small problems. There is no problem when there is no chef to cook.
Qin Huai felt that Tan Wei'an could not reach his grandfather's level entirely because he was not as good as he was. He suggested that he should practice more like himself.
Tan Wei'an agreed with such a pale suggestion and immediately started practicing more.
At this point, Qin Huai discovered that the people in Zhiweiju really listened to his advice.
Especially for ordinary apprentices, they do whatever they say. Walking past him and picking out two shortcomings is like celebrating the New Year.
Qin Huai thinks this may be related to the involution model of Zhiweiju. There are many skilled masters in Zhiweiju, as well as many ordinary masters who seem to be ordinary, but in fact have at least one unique skill.
These masters usually do not accept apprentices, but at the same time they do not hide their secrets. They teach apprentices directly in the kitchen, and it is their ability to watch and learn as much as the people in the corner can.
For masters who are able to accept apprentices, this is a way for them to examine their apprentices. The apprentices watching in the corner are all their preparatory apprentices. Whoever learns quickly, who has good character, and whoever is hard-working will be seen by everyone.
.
The apprenticeship period is a review period, which can be as short as one or two years, or as long as three to five years. There are very few apprentices who can persist for more than five years. After all, the apprentice's salary is so low that it cannot support the family at all. It is an absolute hard job with less money and more work.
thing.
For ordinary apprentices with no background, whether they can impress their master is their threshold, humility is their requirement, and their willingness to learn is their quality.
This model is very traditional, very similar to the apprenticeship and teaching methods of the last century or even the Republic of China. The apprentices trained under this model are all good candidates to be apprentices.
After Qin Huai found that everyone was suitable to be an apprentice, he decided to train with everyone in Zhiweiju.
Qin Huai still remembered that before he came to Huangji, he promised Chen An and An Youyou that he would give them guidance and teach them their crafts.
As for Pei Xing and Li Hua, when they were recruiting, the recruitment information also indicated that they could learn trades.
Qin Huai has never taught anyone. He only tutored Qin Luo in his homework when Qin Luo was in junior high school. Then Qin Luo was almost angry to death. He felt that it would be better for the tutor to earn the money.
Qin Huai has been in Huangji for so long, he has always been a student, taught by a teacher, or by two teachers with completely different styles.
Now that there are a group of students who are so suitable for being taught, Qin Huai feels that it is time to practice his apprenticeship skills.
The model workers at Zhiweiju were laughing.
"What you are making is plum blossom sponge cake. The bean paste filling is from the freezer, right? The bean paste filling in the freezer is not suitable for plum blossom sponge cake. I made it 4 days ago for the triangular sugar buns and added it.
Double the amount of sugar.”
"If you want to practice plum blossom sponge cake this month, I suggest you find time to make a batch of bean paste fillings today. Different dim sum fillings have different requirements, and even if they are all bean paste fillings, they cannot be applied to all dim sums.
.”
Qin Huai took another sip of tea and found that the cup was empty.
"Master Qin, I'll get you some tea." The helper's DNA immediately moved.
Qin Huai waved his hand: "No, I want it later... Hey, Master Huang is here."
Qin Huai put down his tea cup and walked toward Huang Shengli, who was holding a cell phone to take pictures of something unknown by the warehouse door.
Huang Shengli paused filming and sent the video he had just taken to Zheng Da without saying a single extra word.
"Xiao Qin, you are becoming more and more like a master." Huang Shengli said with a smile.
"No, even if I am idle, I am idle. I see everyone practicing saying a few words and practicing their words. When Master Zheng was recruiting people for the canteen, the recruitment notice promised that he would teach craftsmanship. I have to practice first.
, lest you go back and be unable to speak a single word." Qin Huai said.
"Zheng Da is really messing around. There is no such promise in the recruitment announcement." Huang Shengli shook his head.
"Master Huang, how do you usually write Huang Ji's recruitment announcement?" Qin Huai was a little curious.
"Just mark the position and the number of recruits, and the salary is negotiable." Huang Shengli said, "Normally, there is no need to make an announcement. The apprentices come to the door and recommend themselves. I don't deal with this kind of thing very much. It's all handled by An Yao and Huang Jia.
.”
Qin Huai: ...I'm sorry to bother you.
You can really do whatever you want when hiring people in a big restaurant.
"Let's continue to practice cooking today. You made some progress in the stir-fried pork yesterday. Let's continue today. Let me see how you stir-fry a few dishes."
"Okay!"
Master Qin instantly became his apprentice Xiao Qin.
For almost the whole afternoon, Qin Huai was vigorously swinging the spatula in front of the stove, while Huang Shengli watched from the side, giving some advice from time to time, just like a warm scene of a master disciple.
The picture was so heartwarming that all five people in Zhiweiju were stunned.
As for why there were 5 people, it was because Guli didn't pay much attention. He had been immersed in making his own snacks in front of the cooking table.
Tan Wei'an did not expect that Qin Huai actually learned craftsmanship from Huang Shengli instead of Zheng Da. When Dong Shi came in to taste the food, he grabbed Dong Shi and asked:
"Whose apprentice is Master Qin?"
"Qinhuai doesn't have a master." Dong Shi said, "He just came to Huangji to study and communicate."
Tan Wei'an:?
Tan Wei'an looked at the friendly Huang Shengli and the studious Qin Huai. Looking at the standard scene of a master teaching his disciples step by step, Tan Wei'an's voice involuntarily rose.
"Which restaurant teaches exchange studies like this?"
"My master and uncle taught me this." Dong Shi said with a matter-of-fact expression, "You didn't see that when Qin Huai was learning how to cook crab roe shaomai, my master and uncle were watching from the side.
Qin Huai cooks it once, and Master Zheng cooks it again. Sometimes Qin Huai cooks it once, and Master Zheng cooks it twice. In one day, Master Zheng makes more crab roe shao mai than Qin Huai makes."
Tan Wei'an took a deep breath, and there was a little more hope in his eyes.
In Huang Ji's learning and communication work, everyone agreed that there was a shortage of people and they went over to do it.
The apprentices at Zhiwei Juli are reluctant to come. If you work at Zhiwei Juli, you might still have a chance to gain favor from the masters. Not to mention being accepted as a disciple, it would be good to get a word or two of advice.
If you go to Huangji as a job hunter, it's really a job hunt. You get nothing except a high salary and a business trip subsidy.
The reason why Tan Wei'an took the initiative to invite his younger brother to come is because he knew that his life in Zhiwei Juli has not been easy since his grandfather left, and his life has been very depressed. However, the younger brother is also a workaholic and wants to do 24 hours a day.
After having snacks for an hour, Tan Wei'an took this opportunity to take his junior brother to a different place to change his mood.
Moreover, Zheng Da had a good relationship with Tan Wenyan before. Tan Wei'an hoped that Zheng Da could give some advice to his junior brother for the sake of their previous friendship. His senior brother's skills were average, and his teaching skills were even more average.
It just so happens that my junior brother is a fool and cannot be taught by an ordinary master. Only the guidance of a famous master may be useful.
But now...
Is your Huangji learning and exchange program really capable of learning and communicating?
"When will Master Zheng..." Tan Wei'an asked.
"My uncle will definitely not stay in Huangji in the afternoon recently." Dong Shi knew what Tan Wei'an wanted to ask, "Qin Huai is practicing fire cooking now and does not need his teaching. There is no way he will appear in the kitchen for a second in the afternoon."
"If you have any questions, just ask Qin Huai directly. Don't beat around the bush. Qin Huai likes to talk directly."
"Oh, by the way, did Uncle Zheng tell you about the working hours? I suggest you come over at 8:30 in the morning."
"I know that Bai An has a lot of preparation work to do to knead and wake up the dough in advance. We will be on duty before 7:30."
"It's not this. The chicken noodle soup comes out around 8:30 in the morning. It's a good time to come and have breakfast."
"Let me tell you, the chicken noodle soup made by Qin Huai is super delicious! You will know when you eat it, it is definitely the second...no, third most delicious thing he makes!"
Tan Wei'an:?
In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Huai also finished the pleasant cooking practice. With Dong Shi's despairing eyes filled with "Oh my God, I'll eat so much cauliflower fried pork again tonight", he got off work and went to the bone setting shop to meet Ouyang.
By the way, the six Juan Kings in Zhiweiju were still working when Qin Huai got off work.
On the way to the bone setting shop, Qin Huai took a look at the mastery of the heat.
(4721/10000)
There is progress, but not much.
When Qin Huai didn't practice Huo Hou much before, the heat increased steadily. Now that he has practiced hard, the growth rate has not become obvious. It is completely incomparable with the seasoning that has a proficiency of 30,000 in a month.
But it's normal. Crab Roe Shaomai is the most suitable snack that Qin Huai has encountered at this stage to improve his seasoning proficiency, but he has not yet encountered a snack that is very suitable for improving his cooking skills.
There is nothing that matches his current level.
As a white-case chef, Qin Huai is still a little acclimated to using the red-case method to increase his proficiency.
Qin Huai met Ouyang in the room of the bone-setting shop with his packed dinner. It didn't matter whether he was bone-setting or not. The main thing was that he liked to eat here.
The environment is good, there is heating, and there are delicious fruit platters to eat.
And I don’t know what the bone-setting shop thought, but it actually provided a dining table in the private room. It didn’t exist when Qin Huai came here for the first time, but it did exist when he came for the second time.
Ouyang bought Malatang and brought it with him. The 32 yuan Malatang was paired with a small stove that Huang Shengli opened. When Qin Huai was eating the fish roe lucky bag, he felt that he should apologize to Huang Shengli.
"I heard that Xu Cheng went to Magic City today and ordered snacks for tomorrow night. He comes here and there just to eat your six kinds of snacks. He doesn't really want to eat all the snacks you know.
Right?" Ouyang pounced on the food like a hungry tiger and ate the cherry meat.
"Who did you listen to?"
"Huang Anyao told me during lunch. Isn't he Huang Ji's young boss?"
"Huang Anyao had dinner with you at noon?" Qin Huai was shocked. He just asked Huang Anyao to help deliver snacks to Ouyang several times at noon. How could the friendship between the two of them be so good that they had dinner at the same table.
"Yes, he said that his discount is higher than yours, and he can get 40% off, so I used his discount to eat." Ouyang nodded.
Qin Huai burst into tears. As Huang Ji's young boss, Huang Anyao only got a 40% discount on meals.
"Xu Cheng is going to Shanghai today. The editorial office of "Zhiwei" is in Shanghai. It will be January soon. I heard that "Zhiwei" wants to publish it before January 3rd. He should be going to Shanghai.
Dealing with the matter of "Zhiwei"." Qin Huai took a bite of the orange and asked, "Have you found a house yet?"
"We've found it. It's upstairs in your house. I've signed a one-month short-term rental contract. I'll move there when Luoluo comes." Ouyang said that you can rest assured that my brother will do things, "Oh, by the way, there is something."
"Sister Hong called me at noon today and asked me to help find a short-term rental house in Suzhou. She said that Huihui will have a holiday on January 4th and she plans to bring Huihui to live here for a month."
"What do you mean, the tangerine peel tea sent over by an errand is not as good as the one bought freshly. Is there any other delicious tangerine peel tea in Shanshi?"
Qin Huai wanted to say that poverty limits your imagination. Then he thought about it and realized that Ouyang was actually a rich second generation. He could only say that Ouyang might not have much imagination.
"Just help Sister Hong find a good house. By the way, eat less Malatang."
"Ah?" Ouyang subconsciously stuffed another big mouthful into his mouth.
"I'm going to make a new snack tonight, Sixi Rice Balls, big glutinous rice balls. You can keep some belly for the glutinous rice balls."
Ouyang felt that Qin Huai was looking down on him. Who was he? He only had a few glutinous rice balls but he went out of his way to save his belly.
"Don't worry, buddy, I can definitely eat it!"
Chapter completed!
