So early to co to Huang Ji, he plans to make breakfast first.
This ti, for the staff al, he’s not making the usual dishes served at Yunzhong Restaurant, but a dish he seldom practices yet never forgets.
Longevity Noodles.
Qin Huai kneads the dough carefully.
It’s indeed quite intricate; kneading dough, like controlling the fire in cooking, requires skill. Different snacks need different doughs, and only the chef truly knows how to control and differentiate between them.
Perfect, seamless.
Qin Huai glanced at his phone, Qian Zhongheng had accepted his WeChat friend request.
They chatted for a few monts.
Having heard that Qin Huai was the new pastry chef at Huang Ji since yesterday, Qian Zhongheng was extrely enthusiastic, so much so that his words seed ready to leap from the phone to give Qin Huai a kiss.
Qin Huai told Qian Zhongheng he had prepared a gift for him and asked when he’d have ti to pick it up.
Qian Zhongheng said he was free anyti and intended to have lunch at Huang Ji.
Qin Huai thought that was quite convenient, setting a rough ti to steam the dumplings then.
Yes, dumplings.
Uncle Wang ntioned that Qian Zhongheng liked fancy things, and Qin Huai’s first thought was dumplings.
The authentic kind, not the ones stuffed with at.
Making authentic dumplings is indeed ti-consuming and labor-intensive, but they can be made leisurely as long as the quantity isn’t large.
Qin Huai had no issues with the shape and outer skin of the apple dough balls, but he still wasn’t adept at mixing the filling, as he hadn’t done much of the standard mixing.
However, that’s not a big problem; he just needs Zheng Siyuan to help adjust it a little.
After replying to the ssages, Qin Huai started kneading the dough again.
Longevity Noodles consist of one long strand per bowl, not too thin, with a robust chewiness. Technologically, they may be inferior to pulled noodles, but they still demand skill.
Rembering Huang Ji’s approximate headcount, Qin Huai planned the amount accordingly, preparing a few extra bowls just in case—after all, soone would surely eat them.
When Zheng Siyuan arrived, Qin Huai was diligently kneading the noodles.
"Why did you decide to make noodles this morning?" Zheng Siyuan asked, sowhat surprised.
He always thought that as a breakfast chef, Qin Huai excelled in buns, stead buns, and dumplings, not expecting him to have other tricks up his sleeve, including noodle-making.
Truly a versatile breakfast chef.
"The Old Mr. Luo who gave the recipe for dumplings actually also gave a recipe for egg noodles. I haven’t had ti to practice before; I was too busy at Yunzhong Restaurant in the mornings and had to practice other things in the afternoons, you know."
"Since I’m now in a new place, I thought I’d practice this new recipe."
Qin Huai found Luo Jun very helpful; all the recipes that couldn’t be explained by the Snack Encyclopedia could be explained by Luo Jun.
Bi fang really was comprehensive.
Having ford the habit of waking up early from drinking Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, Luo Jun, who was now grumpily watching TV without his tea, sneezed.
Luo Jun: Who’s dissing ?
Zheng Siyuan in Huang’s Kitchen, unaware that the universally capable Mr. Luo in distant Yunzhong District was rubbing his nose, didn’t think much of it, saying: "I see, you can practice new snacks by making staff als; how co I never thought of that."
"What are you making this morning?" Qin Huai asked.
"Paopao Dumpling and Zhou Sha Wonton," replied Zheng Siyuan, washing his hands to get to work, "I’m used to it; if I don’t make dumplings early in the morning, I feel uncomfortable all over."
The creator, Qin Huai, continued kneading the dough.
"Oh, by the way." Qin Huai placed the kneaded noodles into a bowl, "Around 10:30, would you have ti to help make so filling for the apple dough balls?"
"Apple dough balls?" Zheng Siyuan looked incredulously at Qin Huai, his expression saying, "You didn’t get enough of a lesson yesterday, and today you dare to ss around again?" "My dad doesn’t even dare to sell apple dough balls at Huang Ji."
"Uncle set the rule that once a dish is on Huang Ji’s nu, there’s no limit to how much you can buy; it’s only sold out, not limited in quantity."
"Uncle believes that guests coming to eat is honoring Huang Ji; what they want to eat and how much they order is their right and freedom, as long as it’s eaten, it’s not wasteful. After all, the prices at Huang Ji don’t encourage people to order a bunch to take away without eating."
"It’s not going on the nu; it’s for a friend coming to eat at Huang Ji today. I owe him a favor, so I’m making so apple dough balls to thank him."
Zheng Siyuan understood, giving special treatnt.
Sothing Qin Huai used to do every day at Yunzhong Restaurant.
"How many dough balls?"
"Six."
Uncle Wang told Qin Huai that Qian Zhongheng’s family had five mbers, and Qin Huai thought the number 5 wasn’t auspicious, so 6 was better, and it wouldn’t be too much for Qian Zhongheng as the introducer to eat two.
"Sure." Zheng Siyuan readily agreed, "It’s no trouble at all."
