Chapter 4 Purchasing 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 again. Qin Huai and Qin Luo went to the supermarket on the first floor of the shopping mall to buy ingredients. Ouyang, who had more than an hour to go to work, had nothing to do, so he also went to buy food. 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 pick out fresh and juicy spinach here at noon, which is better than the one at the back door of my hometown where you can randomly buy all kinds of hawkers after 8 . The quality of the wet market food that was rotten overnight is much higher. However, the vegetable market is 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 Concubine Yang 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 Lychee. 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 it is clearly written on the label. It is 128 per box, and it is still a special promotion. Can't you see the words "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 yellow 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 freshly 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 they look fresh at first glance. 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, Luoluo 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. Speaking of brainwashing, sometimes Qin Huai himself feels that 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. Even Grandma Qin herself has doubted whether working too hard when she was young hurt her body, causing both children to be in poor health. He harmed the children and has 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 being childless 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 in this statement so much that he spent a huge sum of 5 yuan to hire a fortune teller to tell it. For the sake of 5 yuan plus a meal, the fortune teller calculated that Qin Huai had 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 specializing 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 career 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 Qin Huai was staring at the shrimp in his hand and sighing, so he quickly asked: "I picked the wrong shrimp?" "Is it true that this kind of shrimp can only be used for stir-fries 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? Isn't the crab shell 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 a moment Let’s pick something out. The wontons will be stuffed with shrimps 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 section, leaving Ouyang in the vegetable section frantically searching on his mobile phone to see if there is shrimp filling in crab shell roe. . He hinted it so obviously, but Qin Huai didn't get it at all! "Brother Ouyang, my brother doesn't know how to eat shrimp-filled crab shell yolk." Qin Luo, who had already finished reading the lychees and felt that Ouyang's hinting skills were too bad and not as good as not dark, walked towards Ouyang, "If you want to eat it, you have to tell him , he went to the Internet to find recipes.” "Looking for recipes online?" "Yes." 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 a good foundation 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 **** 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 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 out the 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, making it delicious." "But Luo Luo has a special taste. This girl likes to eat tender and smooth meat fillings, preferably fatter ones so that the oil can be leached out when bitten." "If it wasn't so delicious, she would have wanted 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 adds a little extra fat. If you can't get used to it, just eat the first kind of filling. When the time comes, I will steam the two types separately.” Ouyang was stunned for a while. 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 shells stuffed with fresh shrimps!" Qin Huai:… "roll!" (End of chapter)
