Chapter 4 Procurement

After lunch, Chen Huihong sent Chen Huihui home to rest. Zhao Rong felt that the house was not clean and there would be guests in the evening, so she took Qin Congwen back to clean it a second time. Qin Huai and Qin Luo went to the supermarket on the first floor of the shopping mall to buy ingredients and
Ouyang, who went to work for more than an hour, had nothing to do, so he went to buy groceries.
The supermarket on the first floor is a huge supermarket. The fresh food section is as rich as the vegetable market. Of course, the prices are also very rich. Qin Luo, who doesn't usually buy vegetables and doesn't know the prices, is confused.
"Lychees... 128 per box? There are... 1, 2, 3... 9 in a box. Brother, the lychees in this supermarket cost 14 yuan each!" Qin Luo was shocked.
Qin Huai didn't buy lychees, nor did he look at them. He picked spinach in the vegetable section not far away. Not to mention, although this supermarket is expensive, the quality control is good. You can get fresh and juicy spinach at noon, which is better than the back door of his hometown community.
The quality of the wet market where you can randomly buy all kinds of rotten overnight vegetables that vendors give you after 8 a.m. is much higher.
However, other markets are cheap and you can bargain, so there are pros and cons to each.
"Brother, what does a lychee cost 14 yuan a piece taste like?" Qin Luo was still staring at the lychee.
"Don't you understand this? This is the same type of lychee that Yang Guifei ate back then. Of course it is more expensive. With the blessing of celebrities, the taste is the same as the 8 yuan per pound Concubine Xiao you eat at home." Qin Huai said.
Qin Luo suddenly realized it and continued to stare at Litchi.
Standing between Qin Huai and Qin Luo, Ouyang didn't know how to choose food but liked to join in the fun:...
No, Luo Luo trusts her brother so much? The category of lychees is clearly green, and the label clearly states, 128 per box, or a special offer. Can't you see the word "promotion" for such a big deal?
Of course, Ouyang chose not to say it, after all, he still wanted to eat crab shell roe in the future.
He just searched the Internet and found that crab shell yolk has a salty taste filled with scallion oil, fresh meat, crab powder, and shrimp, and a sweet taste filled with sugar, rose, bean paste, and date paste. It is a baked shortbread.
The picture is golden and crispy, sprinkled with white sesame seeds.
If it's just baked, take a bite while it's still hot...
Bliss!
I can’t even imagine the taste!
Ouyang grabbed the live shrimp he just picked.
He picked these shrimps one by one. They are big and lively and fresh at first sight. The most important thing is that among the four or five kinds of shrimps in the aquatic area, this type is the most expensive. The crab shell yolk produced will definitely be delicious!
Qin Huai is so smart, he must be able to understand his hints!
"Qin Huai, Luo Luo really listens to you. She will believe any nonsense you say." Ouyang could only walk to Qin Huai and sigh silently.
After hearing what Ouyang said, Qin Huai put the picked spinach into the bag and nodded in agreement: "That's it."
There are so many adults in the family who have brainwashed Qin Luo for many years, so it is impossible that there is no effect at all.
When it comes to brainwashing, sometimes Qin Huai himself feels it is outrageous.
In the Qin family, not only Qin Congwen has been childless for many years, Qin Congwen's biological sister Qin Xiuli has also been married for many years and has been unable to have a child. When both brothers and sisters are in this situation, outsiders will inevitably wonder if they are sick, and even Grandma Qin herself
I once wondered whether I had hurt my body by working too hard when I was young, which caused the two children to be in poor health. I had harmed the children. I have been trapped in internal conflict and self-blame for many years.
I can't even lift my head when I go out.
As a result, less than half a year after Qin Congwen adopted Qin Huai, Zhao Rong became pregnant.
Before Qin Luo was born, Qin Xiuli was also pregnant.
That year, Mrs. Qin wanted to hold a loudspeaker and shout from the beginning of the village to the end of the village every morning, shouting out all the anger she had suffered for more than ten years.
According to the Qin family's hometown, the couple suddenly became pregnant after having no children for many years and adopted a child. The adopted son was destined to have a younger sibling, and the child was brought by the adopted son. Mr. Qin believed this statement so much that he even spent a huge sum of 5 yuan to arrest her.
A fortune teller will tell you.
For the sake of 5 yuan plus a meal, the fortune teller calculated that Qin Huai would have a sister and a brother.
Two months later, Qin Luo Gua Gua fell to the ground.
A few months later, Qin Huai and Qin Luo's cousin He Cheng was born.
From then on, Qinhuai became famous in the first battle and became a famous local expert in treating infertility.
Later, Qin Xiuli wanted to have another daughter, and she kept trying to find the fortune teller from back then and asked him to calculate whether there was a cousin in Qin Huai's life. To no avail, she could only sigh every day looking at her unlucky son who had failed in mathematics since childhood.
When Qin Huai was in high school, he seriously thought about whether his system that had never been activated was the master system of obstetrics and gynecology. When applying for the college entrance examination, he even hesitated whether to sacrifice his hair to study medicine.
I didn’t record it later because I didn’t have enough points.
Thinking of this, Qin Huai was a little disappointed.
No matter how you think about it, the doctor system is superior to this cooking system.
If he abandons his profession and becomes a doctor, he will become a legend in the local area a hundred years later.
"Alas." Qin Huai sighed.
Ouyang's expression tightened, thinking that Qin Huai was staring at the shrimp in his hand and sighing, and quickly asked: "I picked the wrong shrimp?"
"Is it true that this kind of shrimp can only be used for cooking and not as filling for dim sum? Qin Huai, let me ask you, what kind of shrimp is usually used for filling crab shell yellow shrimp? My mother plans to learn it recently."
Ouyang felt that his clear instructions were in place.
"Shrimp? Aren't crab shells stuffed with meat? Shrimp... I don't know." Qin Huai looked at the shrimp in Ouyang's hand, "Ouyang, did you buy this shrimp for your mother? Your shrimp is good, I'll wait for you.
Let’s go pick something out. The wontons will be filled with shrimp filling tonight.”
"Get the spinach for me first, and I'll pick out some hind leg meat first." After saying that, Qin Huai went straight to the fresh meat area, leaving Ouyang in the vegetable area frantically using his mobile phone to search whether crab shell yolks have shrimp fillings.
.
He hinted so clearly, but Qin Huai didn't get it at all!
"Brother Ouyang, my brother doesn't know how to eat shrimp-filled crab shells." Qin Luo, who had already finished reading the lychees and felt that Ouyang's hinting skills were too bad and not as good as the dark one, came towards Ouyang, "If you want to eat it, you have to tell him.
, he went to the Internet to find recipes to learn.”
“Looking for recipes online?”
"That's right." Qin Luo nodded as usual, "It was always like this before. If I want to eat snacks, I just tell my brother. My brother will look through the recipes at home or look for them online, and he will learn it after a while."
Ouyang was confused: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be taught step by step by the master?"
"They are all unique secret recipes. What kind of family inheritance and school inheritance are all written in novels. Are the recipes on the Internet reliable?"
Qin Luo didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "My brother said... some are reliable, and some are not so good, but if they don't work, just change them."
"My dad said that the skill of making steamed buns is innate. He has been selling steamed buns for 20 to 30 years, and they are still not as delicious as the steamed buns that my brother helped make at home when he was in junior high school."
"It's also possible that my brother had good basic training in the orphanage before. My brother said that since he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, he has been making all the buns in the orphanage by himself."
Ouyang was even more confused. He had always thought that Qin Huai had a family background, their bun shop was from the legendary hermit school, and Qin Congwen was the 13th generation descendant of xx buns.
He had been looking forward to it for a long time. Ever since Qin Congwen arrived, he had been thinking about how to speak and let his uncle show off his skills to everyone.
As a result, Qin Luo told him that Qin Huai was completely self-taught.
"When my brother was in high school, his grades were average. He was just a little bit better than me. At that time, my third aunt and uncle persuaded my parents to send my brother to study a craft elsewhere. There seemed to be a residence in Hangzhou, where
The master will accept apprentices, and my eldest uncle can find someone to send them in through connections. After completing the apprenticeship, my bun shop may be turned into a dim sum shop."
"But I won't go later."
Just as he was talking, Qin Huai came back after picking up meat and shrimps. He had hind leg meat and live shrimps in his left hand, sandwich meat and three-layer meat in his right hand, and a small bag of fat meat on his little finger.
"Wow, I bought so much." Ouyang exclaimed.
"It's used to make minced meat." Qin Huai explained, raising his left hand, "The most important thing about Sixi Dumplings is minced meat."
Seeing that Ouyang didn't seem to understand, Qin Huai explained in more detail: "Generally, hind leg meat is used for filling dumplings, and sandwich meat is used for filling buns. The hind leg meat is firm and has less tendons, so it tastes delicious."
"But Luoluo has a special taste. This girl likes meat fillings that are tender and smooth, preferably fatter, so that the oil can be leached out when bitten."
"If it wasn't so delicious, she would have liked to put the stuffing into the dumplings."
"So I'm going to make two kinds of dumpling fillings today, one is pure hind leg meat, and the other is mixed with three layers and fillings, and a little extra fat. If you can't get used to it, just eat the first kind of filling.
, I will steam the two types separately when the time comes.”
Ouyang was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Although I didn’t understand it, it seemed delicious.
After thinking about it, Ouyang gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, looked at Qin Huai, and said firmly: "Brother!"
"Brother Huai, you are my brother. I want to eat crab shell yolk stuffed with fresh shrimps!"
Qin Huai:......
