Chapter 26 has a unique taste (Thanks to the leader who helped Xiao Liu graduate successfully!) Qin Huai didn't know whether wild vegetables were considered as coarse grains, but he felt that what Qin Luo said made some sense. There are things wilder than wild vegetables here. Elm bark. After making a salad with tree bark yesterday afternoon, Qin Huai went back to watch a short video and carefully studied how to eat tree bark. Needless to say, it’s quite rich. In addition to the conventional method of eating this food, drying it in the sun, grinding it and sifting it to make noodles, you can also add some seasonings and stir-fry it, grill it, make it into a cold dish, boil it in water to extract its essence and mix it with the cooked water. Since you can use boiling water to mix noodles, it is a professional match. Qin Huaika, who strictly abides by the 12 o'clock get off work schedule, put the last batch of crab shell yolks into the oven at 12 o'clock, and told An Youyou to remember to plate them at the right time and get off work at the speed of light. At this time, it has not yet reached the lunch rush, and the first batch of diners who are close to the company and can run quickly have already started to order food. Ouyang, who is particularly close to the company and can skip work in advance, has already occupied the best seat at the window on the second floor to eat.
Qin Huai blended in with the dinner plate. Qin Huai glanced at Ouyang's dishes. Braised chicken legs, stir-fried pork with chili, sweet and sour pork loin and garlic water spinach, and a bowl of seaweed and pork ribs soup for an extra fee. Next to the kelp and pork rib soup is a small plate of mung bean cake, and a box of fresh lychees is placed in front of the soup and mung bean cake. Three meats, one vegetable, one soup, one snack and one fruit, she ate better than him. The most important thing is that the box of lychees looks familiar to Qin Huai. If nothing else, the varieties in this box are the green ones that made Qin Luo's eyes go straight when he went to the supermarket two days ago. "Aren't you so poor recently that you only drink the biggest bottle of iced black tea?" Qin Huai sat opposite Ouyang. Ouyang chuckled: "I called my mother this morning to cry about my poverty. My mother was very touched by my determination to support my classmates in starting their own businesses. She will reimburse me for meals in the future." "Then this..." Qin Huai pointed at lychee. Ouyang pushed the lychees towards Qin Huai: "It's okay to go home. Didn't Luoluo want to eat it last time? Give it to her to eat. Tell her, Brother Yang, I still have money to buy a box of lychees. If you want to eat, tell her anytime. I’ll go home and get it.” Qin Huai:… "Did Luo Luo wake up early again? I didn't see her just now. Did she go back to catch up on her sleep?" "I didn't get up early." Qin Huai said, "Last night I played on my mobile phone until I went to bed at 3 o'clock. I didn't dare to say that the alarm clock came at 5:30 in the morning on time. She almost fell into the pot while eating mung bean cake, so I asked her to go back to sleep." "By the way, I confiscated her mobile phone. From now on, she will most likely only be able to play with the little genius phone watch at night." Ouyang was silent for a moment, took two mouthfuls of food, and started a new topic: "Would you like to watch a movie this afternoon? Call Luoluo when she wakes up. I also received two movie cards from my mother this morning." Qin Huai felt that Ouyang was born in the wrong era. If he had been born in ancient times, he would have been a good robber. He asked, "Aren't you going to work in the afternoon?" "Sister Hong has to go out to do errands in the afternoon, so you can skip work directly." Qin Huai: "...Not this afternoon. I have to research new products. I'll give it a try in two days." When he heard that Qin Huai was going to research a new product, Ouyang's eyes suddenly lit up and he expressed that he was willing to sacrifice himself to stay in the cafeteria and be a taster of the new product.
Qin Huai felt that Ouyang might really have to sacrifice himself this time. After eating, Qin Huai went back to take a light nap. He returned to the cafeteria at around two o'clock and started researching new products. Making steamed buns is different from making steamed buns. Steamed buns have higher taste requirements and require secondary fermentation. During fermentation, more water needs to be added to ensure the humidity of the dough. At the same time, in order to enhance the aroma and sweetness of the steamed buns, foods such as milk, eggs, sugar, and honey are often added when kneading the dough to add flavor. Qin Huai also wants to add flavor to the dough today. It's just that the flavor he adds is somewhat unique. Elm bark water. Boiled elm bark water, like dry chewed elm bark, doesn't look good. There’s a reason why tree bark isn’t on the list of everyday foods for humans. Qin Huai started making noodles. At this time, the employees of Yunzhong Canteen are all resting. Some of the waiters went shopping nearby, two chefs were sleeping on their stomachs on the second floor, and the rest were in the lobby on the first floor. While Huang Xi was revising the plan on the computer, An Youyou and another waiter were playing on their mobile phones. "Yuyou, what are you looking at?" Zhao Jiahui, the waiter who was playing with her mobile phone, found An Youyou craning her neck and staring at the kitchen, "Do you want to steal from me?" "Making dim sum requires a master's step-by-step instruction. How could I possibly steal the master from such a distance?" An Youyou continued to look, "I just think the color of the water the boss mixes with the noodles looks weird." Not only An Youyou outside felt weird, but Qin Huai who was working on it also felt a little weird. How do you talk about using water boiled from tree bark to knead white flour steamed buns... Parents who adhere to the education of suffering have to say something when they pass by: If it doesn't work, let's boil some wild vegetables and boil water. At least we can get something edible. Two hours later, the slightly yellowish elm bark-flavored steamed buns were freshly cooked. Qin Huai didn't make many, but made three. Not daring to taste it first, Qin Huai called Ouyang and told him that the new product was freshly baked and asked him to come to the cafeteria to taste it quickly. Ten minutes later, Ouyang arrived late with Chen Huihui. "Huihui will finish school on time for her final exam tomorrow and this afternoon. Sister Hong doesn't have time to pick her up. Let me help pick her up." Ouyang explained, smiling, "Huihui, you are in luck today. Your brother Qin Huai made a new product this afternoon." Chen Huihui looked at Qin Huai expectantly. Qin Huai:… Qin Huai silently brought out the steamed buns, which were still steaming and looked very soft and smooth. They were beautiful steamed buns. Ouyang picked up one and sniffed it: "The smell... is quite refreshing." Then take a bite. Ouyang:? It was strange, even though it wasn't that bad, the dead memory of eating salad yesterday suddenly started to attack him. Chen Huihui also picked up a box of steamed buns and took a bite. chew.
Chen Huihui:? Chen Huihui looked at Qin Huai, her eyes filled with disillusionment as if her idol had collapsed. In her mind, she is capable of making all kinds of snacks. Whether it is making steamed buns, dumplings or other snacks, Qin Huai is super delicious, but the steamed buns he makes are so ordinary. There is even a bit of a weird, not-so-palatable taste in the average. Chen Huihui sniffed and felt a little like crying. Mom, the steamed buns made by Brother Qinhuai are not delicious, 55555(*). Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Chen Huihui continued to take a second bite. "Huihui, how does it taste?" Qin Huai asked. Chen Huihui hesitated: "It's weird." Then he shook his head and said, "Brother Qin Huai, your steamed buns are not as delicious as your steamed buns and dumplings." Hearing Chen Huihui's denial, Qin Huai was a little happy. Great, Huihui just likes the taste of buckwheat, not weird-tasting food. As long as it's normal, Qin Huai is afraid that Chen Huihui's taste is too different from ordinary people's and cannot be guessed. It is even more outrageous than the garbage articles written in third-rate magazines. It is certain that Chen Huihui likes the taste and texture of buckwheat, so she can just go straight to buckwheat steamed buns. "If you don't like it, don't eat it. I'll let Luoluo take it back to feed the chickens." Qin Huai said. Zhao Rong took time out in the morning to go to the vegetable market and bought two live old hens and kept them in the kitchen to prepare soup for the next two days. It would also be good to let the chickens eat some green and healthy steamed buns. Chen Huihui put down the steamed buns very carefully. While the two were talking, Ouyang had already finished the steamed buns. Ouyang, who didn't listen to the conversation between the two at all, paused for a moment and seemed to have some aftertaste. He said, "Qin Huai, don't say anything. This new product of yours today..." "Although it tastes a little weird, it has a different flavor when chewed." "Not bad!" Qin Huai:? It turns out you are the one with abnormal taste. Brother, I told you that you are good at this. There is still a big bag in the warehouse. I will take it home for you and eat it slowly. You are welcome. It would be great if this task was Ouyang's wish. With Ouyang's tolerance for not being picky and being able to taste the mystery and deliciousness of elm bark-flavored steamed buns, Qin Huai estimated that this task would have been completed long ago. What a pity. Qin Huai looked at Ouyang and sighed. Ouyang sighed inexplicably at this sigh, pointed to the remaining steamed buns on the plate and asked, "Qin Huai, do you want to eat it? If you don't want to eat it, I will."
Seeing Qin Huai nodding, Ouyang picked it up and took a big bite. "This smell." “Refreshing!” (End of chapter)
