Chapter 174 Master Xiao Qin is back! 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 dish, eel paste or something. The waiter will remind the guests that the chef is not here today, and the dish will be prepared by Huang Jia or another stove chef. 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, which were called A-orders and B-orders by regular diners. Order A is the menu when Huang Shengli was here, and the prices are all original prices. Order B is the menu for Huang Shengli's absence, and the prices of Huang Shengli's signature dishes will be significantly reduced. After changing the menu, Huang Ji's regular customers don't need to ask the waiter how Huang Shengli's waist looks like today. They can just look at the menu and find out. 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 Qinhuai'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 Baikan and sells dim sum. The most famous, most praised, and most recognized by the public is the relatively cheap fermented steamed buns. For 18 yuan a piece of fermented steamed buns sold in an ordinary breakfast shop, it is of course an astonishing price. 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 a lot of money even eat every day, and if they don’t have time, they ask errand boys to come over and squat. Among the snacks on Qinhuai's menu, except for the baked snacks such as crab shell roe and Yuanmeng sesame cakes, which need to be freshly baked and are more delicious when purchased now, the rest are packaged and ordered for takeout without affecting the taste. When Huang Ji announced to the public that Chef Xiao Qin would take off this month's and last month's holidays at once for 6 consecutive days, many guests even breathed a sigh of relief. Regular customers, especially those who live nearby, all know that Huang Ji’s chef has four days off per month, and these four 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 off all at once at the beginning of the month and enjoy the holiday; some people save their time until before and after holidays, so that they can visit relatives and friends without affecting peak business during the holidays. The most common ones are to take a break if you have something to do, such as blind dates, dates, traveling, participating in exchange meetings, and watching a drama that you have saved for a month in two days... This kind of rest method is the most random, and you can't be sure when you will rest. As for the chef's break, the restaurant generally will not notify the guests, let alone make an announcement. But Qin Huai is different. Qin Huai is a rare and precious Bai An master who has exclusive dim sum. Qin Huai's vacation touches the hearts of many people. Qin Huai had not taken a day off for more than a month, and many regular diners speculated that Qin Huai was planning to save up his vacation time and take a big one. Now that the suspicion has been confirmed, everyone feels that the stone in their hearts has fallen to the ground. They no longer have to be suspicious and worried about not being able to buy steamed buns when they go to Huangji at noon. Faced with Master Xiao Qin's vacation, the neighbors accepted it well. Some well-informed people even heard that Qin Huai took six days off at a time in order to go home to see his family. They went to Huang Ji to give Qin Huai a souvenir and asked Huang Ji's waiter to give 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 play. 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 great, so don't worry. I will come back after 6 days. It just so happens that right after I come back, it will be New Year's Day, and not long after that, it will be Chinese New Year. Everyone is waiting for Master Xiao Qin to show off his skills during the Chinese New Year.
Huang Ji: Every year during the Chinese New Year, there will be a limited-time New Year’s Eve dinner. The three-head banquet, which is usually only limited to wedding banquets, will also appear in the New Year’s Eve dinner. It can be said that among the residents of these old communities near Huangji, many children have worked hard for a year locally or abroad, and have saved a whole year's money to go home during the New Year. Just to grab a table of the highest quality New Year’s Eve dinner and have a good meal with the whole family. Eating dim sum is already 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 desk will launch a New Year’s dim sum gift box during the Chinese New Year, making the dim sum exquisite, beautiful and festive. Huang 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 happening this year? Although it’s only December, many people are already looking forward to what this year’s dim sum gift boxes will be. Qin Huai didn't know that some people were 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. They open the door on the morning of New Year's Eve and sell the last breakfast. At 9 ., no matter whether they are sold out or not, they have 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 as his adopted son and Qin Luo as his biological daughter, and Qin Xiuli only had He Cheng as her biological son. Although Qin Xiuli is the daughter of a married woman, her husband He Ye is from the next village. Qin Xiuli worries every year during the Chinese New Year. Because there are not many people in her family, her parents will be very lonely during the Chinese New Year, so she often takes her husband and children to Qinjia Village. Even on New Year's Eve, she has to stay until 5 or 6 pm before returning. . 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 was still walking and eating while walking. If conditions didn't allow it and the food would look too ugly, they would all like to propose that the two families celebrate the New Year together. What about your family and mine? 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 are not many immediate relatives, but there are many other relatives. Moreover, 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 when visiting me, but they come with their hands filled with big and small bags. It doesn’t make sense for them not to return some snacks. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the house in my hometown was so big that there was no room for people. People had to move chairs outside to sit in the yard, and the New Year gifts they sent could not fit into one room. Every New Year's Eve, Qin Huai would stay in the kitchen from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, steaming snacks to the point where people from far away would think the Qin family's house 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 shaomai. Even if he feels that the intensity of work is not enough, he can add more. Because he really took 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, when there were still nearly two months until the New Year. Maybe it's because it's been too long since I made snacks for Qin Luo. 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 dim sum for more than a month. It's really hard. 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 the two days of round trip, there are still 4 days left. Qin Luo should be able to eat crab roe shaomai, fermented steamed buns, Wu Ding Bao, Sophora japonica steamed buns, Yuanmeng sesame cakes, crab shell roe, lard rice cakes, cake dumplings, glutinous rice cakes, Jujube and yam cakes, apple noodles and fruit. Qin Huai, a B-level fruit, couldn't make it by himself, so he brought a batch of raw embryos with him when he came back this time and gave them to Qin Luozheng. As for cake dumplings and lard rice cakes, Qin Huai learned from the local customs when Huang Ji's kitchen wanted to make something else to change his taste. He is considered a new learner and can do a bit of work, so he can 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 shortcakes that Chen Huihong wanted - Zheng Siyuan really didn't want to make so many shortcakes. Qin Huai brought 20 kilograms. Well, the reason why Chen Huihong failed to pick her up at the airport was actually because today was 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 Qin Huai the driver's photo and license plate, 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. He was a little nervous at first, but he stopped being nervous as soon as he walked out of the exit. A familiar 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 Suzhou 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. Did you see that? I'm so hungry!" Qin Luo poked his chin. Qin Huai said he didn't see it. "Did you buy crabs?" Qin Huai asked. Qin Luo nodded repeatedly: "I bought it. I bought a lot. As soon as you called Dad the day before yesterday, Dad asked Sister Xi to find someone to order it. I bought a lot of them and kept them in the water tank to crawl 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 crabs. In the past few years, you would vomit when you smell 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 He smiled and saw Qin Luo's unconvinced face, so he quickly smiled to appease him. "Don't worry, I've seen your monthly exam results for the past two months, and you did really well. Our family, Luoluo, has also worked hard during this period of study, and we feel aggrieved that we didn't get anything good." "I have half a box of raw fruit embryos in my suitcase, as well as the raw embryos of shortcakes, Dingsheng cakes and fresh meat mooncakes made by your brother Siyuan. I will steam 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, tell me and I'll make it for you when you get back." "I'll let you eat enough 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. After hearing Qin Huai's last words, he couldn't hold it back and smiled so hard that his molars were exposed. I couldn't help it, I couldn'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.
Oops, what kind of chicken drumsticks are there? If I had known that I could order snacks if I had enough snacks, 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 stayed 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 mentioned 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. Very good, everyone has their own opinions. Soon, Qin Luo led Qin Huai to find the car. The driver assigned by Chen Yingjun was an honest-looking middle-aged man who only drove and said nothing during the whole process. 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 good. Anyway, we can sell out." 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. Qin Huai went to Huang Ji Neng to be very popular, and it was more than enough for two restaurant-level chefs to come to the community canteen. Although the diners were slightly dissatisfied (after all, the quality was far inferior to that of Qin Huai), they had no choice, and besides Yunzhong Restaurant, the dim sum at other restaurants was even worse. Everyone can only talk about when Master Xiao Qin will come back, but they are honest and patronize 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 be even higher. In this more than a month, the turnover of Yunzhong Canteen has not been high. Falling instead rising. In addition, the boss is not going 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 diners' point of view, 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 Zhiweiju's origin. Now that he has seen the world, he deeply realizes 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 Dining Hall have had better meals. Qin Huai, Zheng Siyuan, and Zheng Da. In a sense, the guests at Yunzhong Canteen have seen a lot of the world. There is no harm without comparison. Pei Xing and Li Hua are not as good as Qin Huai, Zheng Siyuan and Zheng Da even though they were born in majors. The guests at Yunzhong Canteen almost went crazy thinking about Qin Huai. The elders and aunties in Yunzhong Community sit in the Yunzhong canteen and chatting is no longer just chatting. They are just seeing things, thinking about people, and being moved by the scene! Everyone is 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’s like to eat Wu Ding Bao and wine-filled steamed buns every morning. I didn’t feel 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, so I had to grit my teeth to buy three or five Ding Bao. There is no chance now that I find it too expensive, so I have no choice but to buy it. I can't even eat anything I want, 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 there was no tangerine peel tea to drink. I really don't even want to go to class. Many office workers dare not think about how they survived the days without three or five Ding Bao to eat, or tangerine peel tea to drink. At 3:59 ., a black car stopped at the entrance of Yunzhong Canteen. The old man and aunt 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. Seeing familiar faces made them shed tears. 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 owner group of Yunzhong Community and the ordering group of Yunzhong Canteen. On this day, all the guests at Yunzhong Canteen were running around telling each other. Master Xiao Qin is back. There will be breakfast tomorrow morning! My wallet, what are you waiting for? I told you a number, 10 five-packs, I will eat them tomorrow! (End of chapter)
