Chapter 306 It turns out that we didn’t understand mung bean cake for so many years

Ouyang didn’t come to the airport to pick me up empty-handed.

He brought the culprit for his weight gain during this period – Mango No. 1.

Qin Huai sat in the passenger seat, drinking milk tea while watching the conversations in the group of people in the “Lovely Family” group during his flight, and couldn’t help but sigh:

“Your level of mixing drinks has really improved. Mango No. 1 tastes much better than the first one I drank.”

“That’s right.” Ouyang raised his head proudly, making it look like his double chin didn’t exist. “Hundreds of cups a day, especially during the days when you were away. I’m not exaggerating, but the takeout orders are going to explode. Many people can’t eat the snacks you make, and they miss you so much that they can only come to our handmade lemon tea shop to buy fruit tea.”

Qin Huai:……

He wants to emphasize again that this is not how the phrase “seeing something reminds me of someone” is used!
“But Qin Huai, how did you think of selling mung bean cakes tomorrow?” Ouyang was a little curious. “I remember you said before that it was troublesome to peel the mung beans to make mung bean cakes, and the quality of mung bean powder bought on the market was uneven and not as good as the traditional method. You didn’t make mung bean cakes before.”

“You sometimes make mung bean ice cream when the weather is hot, but I haven’t seen you make it since autumn. In all your time at Huang’s, you’ve only made mung bean cake once.” Ouyang asked curiously.

“It’s not because it’s troublesome to peel the skin.” Qin Huai calmly drank the fruit tea, “It’s mainly because I don’t like eating mung bean cakes, so I’m too lazy to make them.”

“You can buy peeled mung beans on the market.”

Ouyang:?
“I always let Luoluo peel the skin because mung bean cakes are so cheap and Luoluo loves to eat them.”

“If she is allowed to eat as much as she wants, she won’t spend much money from morning to night. This girl likes expensive snacks, and she doesn’t mind cheap snacks. She eats expensive snacks when she has money, and eats cheap snacks when she doesn’t.”

“If she were to use her money to buy unlimited mung bean cakes, she would have no motivation to study hard during the winter and summer vacations to pay off her debts. She would just eat mung bean cakes every day.”

“My mom and I both felt that we couldn’t spoil her like this, so we came up with this idea. If she wants to eat mung bean cakes, she has to rely on herself, and she is responsible for peeling the mung beans. I didn’t expect Luoluo to be good at other things, but she is very professional at peeling mung beans, and she is meticulous and fast. I got used to it later.”

Ouyang: …

The only son Ouyang was so shocked that he gasped, and silently lit a candle for Qin Luo in his heart. At the same time, he was somewhat fortunate that his parents did not pass by Qiu County when they were traveling and adopted Qin Huai, making Qin Huai his younger brother.

Qin Huai is so terrifying!
His brain must be played around by Qin Huai just like Qin Luo’s.

No, if I could have a snack just by doing some work…

Damn it, why didn’t his parents pass by Qiu County when they were traveling and adopt Qin Huai, making Qin Huai his younger brother!

When Qin Huai finished drinking the milk tea and ate the fruit pulp, Ouyang finally finished thinking and asked very cautiously: “Um…Qin…Qin Huai, can I ask why you changed your mind and decided to sell mung bean cakes every day?”

“Did Luoluo do well in the last exam?”

Qin Huai heard the caution in Ouyang’s tone and didn’t understand why his buddy suddenly became so cautious, but it didn’t matter. Qin Huai often didn’t understand Ouyang’s train of thought.

“Yeah, the results of the last exam should be out soon. My parents haven’t told me yet. I’ll ask them tomorrow.”

Ouyang: Luoluo, Brother Yang is sorry for you!

“As for why I planned to make mung bean cake, it might be because after this trip to City A, I found that mung bean cake is actually quite delicious.” Qin Huai said.

“I think everyone would be very happy if they could buy a delicious and cheap mung bean cake at Yunzhong Canteen.”
.
The roads were clear at night, so Qin Huai went straight to wash and sleep after returning home, and went to work on time the next day.

Of course, it’s the dim sum chef’s class.

The days when Master Qin got up at 4 o’clock every morning to prepare breakfast are gone forever. The breakfast in Yunzhong Canteen has now been handed over to the real breakfast chef Chen An, and the business has naturally returned to the normal breakfast business of a community canteen.

The elderly who have developed the habit of jogging in the morning will still go to the canteen at 6 o’clock every morning to have an ordinary breakfast regardless of the weather. Office workers don’t mind buying two buns from Yunzhong Canteen on the way to work as long as it is convenient for them.

What if Master Qin is in a good mood one day and decides to get up early to give everyone a surprise?

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Many diners firmly believe that as long as they check in frequently enough, they will be able to wait for the super surprise that falls unexpectedly.

In fact, the super surprise did not fall, but the mung bean cake fell.

As Mr. Han’s all-purpose assistant, Chen Gong’s efficiency and work level are absolutely impeccable. Qin Huai even thinks that his work ability has been improved after he woke up and remembered all his memories. No matter how powerful Chen Gong was before, he was just a person who only lived for more than 30 years and worked for more than ten years.

Now Chen Gong has woken up and recalled all the memories of his past lives. In those lives, he had done nothing but work as a laborer. He had rich work experience that was beyond the reach of all job seekers.

High-quality peeled green beans were delivered to Yunzhong Canteen at 6 a.m., with a stable supply and reasonable prices. Huang Xi was amazed and asked Qin Huai who had the connections to get such a high-quality supplier.

The first thing Qin Huai did when he entered the cafeteria was to make mung bean cake.

First steam the mung beans, then boil tangerine peel tea, and then start kneading the dough. At the same time, let the helpers prepare the ingredients. The time is strictly controlled so that the most snacks can be made in the shortest time.

Chef Qin, who works at the Yunzhong Canteen, is very busy. In addition to making snacks every day, he also has to spend two hours practicing his knife skills. If he doesn’t arrange his time properly, he will have no time to play with his mobile phone after get off work.

Li Hua and Pei Xing are ready.

Pei Xing had prepared some hot tea. Li Hua was a dim sum chef before Qin Huai arrived. After Qin Huai arrived, he became Master Qin’s most capable butcher, a professional butcher. Making dim sum could be put on hold for a while. Being Master Qin’s assistant was Li Hua’s lifelong wish.

During this period, Li Hua and Pei Xing were in a mutually intriguing relationship.

The two are colleagues and competitors. Qin Huai is a master chef who loves to give instructions, but he is also a master chef with limited time. Li Hua and Pei Xing are both from Zhiweiju, so they have the most basic sense of judgment.

It’s the master chef’s business if he wants to give instructions. If you keep asking questions over and over again about those broken things that there’s nothing to give instructions about and still don’t understand, then you’re not sensible.

The master chef’s time is very limited, so it is a pleasant surprise if he gives you one or two pointers. If you understand, it means you are insightful, and if you don’t, it means you are stupid.

But Master Qin is not a master chef who is fluent in languages.

When it comes to areas where he excels, such as seasoning, his language is a little richer, but when it comes to areas where he is not so outstanding, such as kneading dough, there is not much to say.

Pei Xing was so angry that his teeth were about to break.

He wanted to improve and become the most capable assistant to Master Qin, but he was not as good as Li Hua in terms of knife skills, nor was he as good as Li Hua in terms of progress. Every time he showed the kneaded dough to Qin Huai, Pei Xing could only understand 30% of what Qin Huai said. Pei Xing could only rely on understanding the remaining 70% of the feeling, touch, and skill, but he couldn’t understand it.

Pei Xing was so anxious that he wanted to call his cousin Pei Shenghua for help. However, although Pei Shenghua was a master chef, he was only proficient in red cases. Pei Xing wanted to prepare special dishes, but there was no one to help him.

During the two days that Qin Huai went to City A, Pei Xing felt that he seemed to have realized a little bit of what Qin Huai said. He was kneading the dough seriously, planning to tear off a small ball and give it to Qin Huai when the dough was fermented.

Pei Xing was reeling while his colleague was slacking off.

“Have you heard? Master Qin specially contacted the supplier of mung beans. From today on, the mung bean cakes will be put on the market for sale every day.” Li Hua not only slacked off himself, but also chatted with his colleagues.

Pei Xing gave Li Hua a look that asked him why he didn’t roll up his sleeves, and said, “Mung bean cakes are not complicated to make, and they are sold quickly and have a wide audience. Master Qin makes so many snacks every day, so it’s normal for him to want to take it easy and make mung bean cakes.”

Li Hua shook his head silently in his heart, thinking that Pei Xing’s understanding in some aspects was still a little low, no wonder he had been unable to surpass him for some time.

“Master Qin has always been making dim sum that can be sold in large quantities and quickly. Isn’t Donkey Roll one of them? And in terms of speed and efficiency, the shipment volume of Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls is actually not slow, and the profit is even higher. In terms of the audience, is there any problem with the sales of Master Qin’s dim sum?” Li Hua said. “What do you mean?”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

At Li Hua’s reminder, when the mung beans in the pot were steamed and ready to be mashed, Pei Xing and Li Hua basically stopped what they were doing and stretched their necks to see how Qin Huai was doing it.

If it is a small amount of mung beans, just spend some effort and use a shovel to crush the mung beans into a paste.

But if it is a large amount of mung beans of hundreds of kilograms, it would be too tiring to do this. Traditional desserts have their advantages, and modern technology has its advantages.

A juicer is undoubtedly better than a shovel.

An Youyou led two helpers to help Qin Huai process the steamed mung beans into mung bean paste, and Qin Huai took the pot to boil butter to prepare for stir-frying. Steaming can be done in batches, but stir-frying has to be done in pots.

Qin Huai thinks there is one very good thing about making mung bean cake – it helps him improve his proficiency in cooking.

It is not difficult to stir-fry mung bean paste with butter and sugar, and it can even be said to be relatively easy, and it has a very high tolerance rate, which is very suitable for the current heat of Qinhuai.

During the frying process, controlling the amount of butter and sugar is even more difficult than stir-frying. It is simply a perfect snack for practicing cooking skills.

Pei Xing and Li Hua were watching Qin Huai frying mung bean paste. As pot after pot of mung bean paste came out of the pot and was put into molds to shape, the whole kitchen was filled with the fresh aroma of mung beans, mixed with the milky aroma of butter and the sweet aroma of sugar.

As the last pot of mung bean paste came out of the pot, Qin Huai skillfully took out a few small plates, put some on each plate, and greeted Pei Xing and others.

“Try it while it’s hot?”

Pei Xing & Li Hua:?

Try it while it’s hot?

Is there a way to eat mung bean cake while it’s still hot?!

“Although I don’t understand how to eat it this way, Mr. Han and his wife, who love good food, like it very much. Maybe it has a unique flavor.” Qin Huai said that he didn’t really understand it either. “This is the last pot. You two have been watching it for so long. If you don’t eat it now, you will miss it.”

Pei Xing and Li Hua both picked up the plates with some confusion. Chen An was still working and had no time to eat, so he had to finish the work at hand before coming over to eat. An Youyou had just molded a batch of mung bean cakes, and when she saw there was something to eat, she happily washed her hands and quickly walked over.

An Youyou is a complete layman who knows nothing. She just does whatever Qin Huai says and starts eating as soon as she picks up the plate.

“Hmm!” When it comes to giving feedback, An Youyou is definitely number one.

As long as it is a snack made by Qin Huai, she can make this exaggerated interjection when eating anything.

“Wow, Master Qin, what you said is indeed right. Mung bean cake tastes much better when eaten while hot!” An Youyou exclaimed in surprise.

Pei Xing & Li Hua:?

After being dim sum chefs for so many years, it seems like they don’t understand mung bean cakes anymore?

They both hesitantly scooped up a spoonful and carefully put it into their mouths to taste it carefully.

The mung bean flavor is strong, and the mung bean paste is not compacted by the mold. It is loose when you eat it, but you can taste the delicate and silky taste. The combination of butter and mung bean paste gives the mung bean paste a hint of milk flavor, which is sweeter. The precise amount of white sugar makes this sweetness not greasy, but highlights the freshness of mung beans.

This is really delicious.

Delicious mung bean… puree.

Pei Xing and Li Hua both saw confusion in each other’s eyes.

Is this the correct way to eat mung bean cake? Have they never understood mung bean cake for so many years?

It turned out that this was the reason why they couldn’t go any further at Zhiweiju and could only leave silently, because they didn’t even know how to make such a simple mung bean cake.

At this moment, Pei Xing and Li Hua just wanted to hug each other and cry.

Qin Huai was just about to ask them how it tasted, whether it was really better to eat it hot than cold, and whether he didn’t understand mung bean cakes or Han Guishan knew too much about them, when Qin Huai’s phone rang.

Zheng Siyuan’s phone call.

This has to be answered.

By the way, Qin Huai also ate the hot mung bean cake yesterday, but he didn’t have the chance to eat the iced one. It takes time to make the iced mung bean cake, and he had to catch a plane so he couldn’t eat it.

“Hello.” Qin Huai answered the phone.

“I’m in Shan City, I just got off the plane. The house is the same as last time. My dad has arranged for the cleaning staff to clean it up. I’ll go there later to drop off my luggage and then go to Yunzhong Canteen.”

“Send me your cafeteria’s menu for today and I’ll prepare it.” Zheng Siyuan said concisely.

Qin Huai was a little surprised: “How come you are here in the morning? Aren’t you on a flight in the afternoon?”

“There is a seat on the morning flight, I’ve changed it.”

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

Zheng Siyuan on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said, “Tan Wei’an forwarded me some pictures and chat messages.”

“The four-happiness dumplings you made at your birthday party were very beautiful. It is said that everyone who ate them praised them highly. Xu Chengdu even wrote a new interview just for you.”

Qin Huai was shocked: “How come all the messages from Tan Weian were forwarded to you? No, Zang Liang is the same as Tan Weian. Why does he also like to post pictures and messages so much?”

“Is this the point?” Zheng Siyuan questioned his soul, “You actually refused Xu Cheng’s interview!”

“I couldn’t just say no.” Qin Huai explained, “The star effect brought by “The Taste” is too exaggerated, and my small Yunzhong Canteen can’t bear it. And in fact, I didn’t completely refuse. Mr. Xu Cheng said that he could keep the interview for me until I was willing to accept it. “The Taste” will always keep the page for me for the Four Happiness Tangtuan.”

Zheng Siyuan took a deep breath and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, send a message to Tan Weian.

Zheng Siyuan: You are right. Now I also want to beat him up.

Tan Weian replied immediately: Is that so? ! ! ! !
In the Yunzhong cafeteria, after Qin Huai hung up the phone, Pei Xing turned his head silently and whispered to Li Hua:
“I don’t know why, but I really want to hit someone right now.”

Li Hua squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: “Me too.”
