Chapter 167 Gong Liang’s Touch(1/2)
After yesterday's big turnaround, Qin Huai went back and reviewed the situation carefully.
He felt that the main problem was still unfamiliarity.
He is not familiar with the ingredients, nor is he familiar with crab roe shaomai, or even the simple seasoning of this ingredient.
He seasoned the crab roe shaomai based on his previous experience in making dim sum, and followed Zheng Da's demonstration of the process and steps. He combined the two to remove the dregs and remove the essence, and finally completed the shaomai that was unpalatable.
Qin Huai reflected for a night and decided to adopt the method of forgetting, forget his previous experience, and do it exactly according to Zheng Da's model as a beginner. This idea is very good.
However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very basic. It can't be done, it can't be done at all.
After a hearty seasoning, Qin Huai made the same turn as yesterday. The good news is that this time there were only 9 minor mistakes and 6 major mistakes.
Bad news, some errors are different.
And one less mistake doesn’t have much impact on the taste.
There is no room for improvement. Qin Huai's basic panel is here. No matter how he overturns, he will never be able to achieve Chen Huihong's level of cooking. Another overturning masterpiece by Qin Huai, it was sent to every tester at Huangji Restaurant.
In front of the waiter.
Most of the time, tasting food is not a pretty job.
If a dish needs to be tried, it means that the dish is not a complete finished product and there are problems that need to be improved. The improvement process requires a lot of trial and error and is a long process. A professional food tester needs to taste each dish carefully.
When raising questions and suggestions for improvement, he should not only eat them, but also eat them seriously and carefully.
Gong Liang only took one bite and realized that the task of testing food was not so easy. It was too risky.
It’s not like Gong Liang has never tasted food, and his memory of food tasting is quite good.
Gong Liang vaguely remembered that when he was a young boy studying, Master Jing from his next door neighbor would sometimes try out new dishes at home.
To be precise, it is not a new dish. Chef Jing’s skills are good. Some foreign businessmen only recognize Chef Jing’s skills and ask for Chef Jing’s cooking when they are being received. Everyone’s taste is different, and the types of dishes they specify are also different.
Whenever this happens, Master Bing will try making it at home.
As a neighbor, Gong Liang was still a teenager in high school at that time. When he was lucky, he could have a few bites, and he could enjoy it for a few days and study for several years.
At that time, Gong Liang was thinking that when he became as rich as a foreign businessman in the future, he would have to name Master Jing to cook for him. No, there was no need to specify, just cook it every day. As long as Master Jing was willing to cook it, he would be willing to eat it!
Now, Gong Liang's beautiful filter for tasting dishes was shattered by the crab roe siomai in front of him. He couldn't believe that this was actually a dim sum made by Qin Huai.
Although he had eaten the stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata made by Qin Huai two days ago, he knew that his beloved Master Xiao Qin was not omnipotent, but the stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata was a stew, and the crab roe siu mai was a snack!
This is a snack!
Gong Liang is a complete layman in cooking, even more so than a layman like Huang Anyao who has rich theoretical knowledge but almost zero practical level. So even if he knows that crab roe Shaomai is not easy to make, unless Zheng Da is willing to make it, he will not be able to make it.
It's hard to taste the same crab roe shao mai made by Chef Jing anywhere else, but I don't have a very specific idea.
In Gong Liang's mind, crab roe Shaomai is indeed very difficult, but Qin Huai's skills in making dim sum are also very good. In addition, Qin Huai's fermented fermented steamed buns are almost as good as Zheng Da's, especially the first batch of fermented fermented steamed buns every day, Gong Liang
Liang can even chew the steamed buns when he is whistled, giving him the same feeling as when he went to a state-owned restaurant to grab steamed buns as soon as he got off work.
Therefore, in Gong Liang's opinion, Qin Huai's craftsmanship is on par with Zheng Da's. At most, it's a little bit different. After all, Zheng Da is clamoring to accept Qin Huai as his disciple every day.
Although Zheng Da is a little lazy and not very willing to cook dim sum, he is still reliable in his work and cannot do the kind of thing where he insists on accepting a young dim sum chef with the same level as himself as his apprentice.
As a result, the crab roe shaomai in front of him shattered the 18 layers of filters Gong Liang had added to Qin Huai.
Chef Xiao Qin, who is omnipotent in dim sum, also encounters Waterloo at times.
Gong Liang sniffed and almost shed tears.
The feeling of broken idol
Gong Liang looked at the other people in Huangji's kitchen who were trying the food, and found that everyone's reactions were very calm.
However, everyone finished the Bihuang Shaomai very calmly and gathered together to discuss the difference between Qinhuai's Bihuang Shaomai today and yesterday. Is it the problem with the proportion of seasonings or the difference between shrimp and meat?
There was a problem with the combination of crab meat.
Some people even expressed optimism that progress has been great, and the most obvious problem yesterday no longer exists.
Gong Liang was stunned.
Gong Liang thought for a moment, stood up from the bench, grabbed Yu Shi, who was having the most heated discussion, took him to a corner outside and asked:
"Is it normal for Master Xiao Qin to make honey yellow shaomai like this?"
"It's normal." Dong Shi said, seeing Gong Liang's expression becoming even more confused, he explained, "The one he made yesterday was even worse."
Gong Liang:?
"Mr. Gong, don't worry. We all know that Qin Huai learned how to eat crab roe shao mai because you wanted to eat it, but Qin Huai has never made crab meat or crab roe snacks before, and he doesn't even make shrimp-filled snacks.
"Let me put it this way, Qin Huai is from Guangdong Province, you know, right? He is now like a chef who comes from Cantonese cuisine and is good at Shandong cuisine. Let me think about it, can I use this analogy... Yes, that's right, he
The palace dim sum is well done.”
"He is now good at two cuisines, one from the south and the other from the north. But now that he has come to us, what we cook most here is Huaiyang cuisine. If you ask him to be a chef who has been doing northern cuisine for many years, he suddenly has no experience.
If you switch to cooking Huaiyang cuisine, you will definitely be acclimated to it, and there will definitely be big problems when you first start learning."
"This is the second time he has made crab roe siomai. It is normal for it to be unpalatable. So don't worry, Mr. Gong. Give Qin Huai a month or two. I believe it will be fine given his level.
"Don't think that two months is too much. For a normal chef, especially a dim sum chef, two months to change factions and learn a dim sum as difficult as crab roe siu mai is already terrifying.
It's normal even if Qin Huai hasn't learned it in two months. You have to believe that as long as he agrees to you, he will definitely make crab roe siomai for you.
Gong Liang felt even more regretful.
Seeing that Gong Liang's expression was still the same, Yu Shi thought that Gong Liang still didn't understand, and thought about what angle of analogy he should use to make Gong Liang understand how difficult it is to switch from Liangdao to Bihuang Shaomai.
Just when Dong Shi was thinking quickly and opened his mouth slightly to say some witty nonsense to lighten the atmosphere, Gong Liang spoke.
"When did I ask Qin Huai to make crab roe shaomai?" Gong Liang asked.
Now he no longer cares about his idol, Master Qin, overturning his car.
Gong Liang felt that someone must be harming him.
Oh my conscience, when did Gong Liang become such a self-aware person?
Although he likes to beat snakes with sticks and stalk them, it also depends on the situation, the person, and the timing. His relationship with Qin Huai is still in the strategy stage. It is his strategy to conquer Qin Huai, using material sugar-coated bullets to bring him closer.
The relationship with Master Xiao Qin, a potential stock.
He is now an angel investor, and the money from the first round of financing has not been invested yet.
Whoever spreads rumors outside will kill the goose that lays the eggs.
If this word reaches Master Xiao Qin’s ears, how can he have the nerve to try to get rid of him in the future?
Gong Liang wanted to rush back to the kitchen door and eat another crab roe shaomai to prove his innocence.
Although Master Xiao Qin’s stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata and crab roe shaomai were both overturned, the Wu Ding Bao, Jiu Niang Steamed Buns, Yuan Meng Shao Bing, Noodles, Guoer, Crab Shell Yellow Noodles, Chicken Soup Noodles and Sophora Flower Steamed Buns are all eye-catchingly good.
Bar!
If one or two of them overturned, they would overturn. At worst, Gong Liang wouldn't eat it, but he would still have to eat the others. "Didn't you ask for it?" Dong Shi was also shocked.
"Who said it was me who asked for it? Who?" Gong Liang gritted his teeth.
"That's what everyone said." Dong Shi said, "Qin Huai invited you to Huang Ji for breakfast in the morning, and started learning crab roe siomai in the afternoon. I heard that when Qin Huai learned crab roe siomai, Uncle Zheng gave him two learning methods.
, one is the current one, and the other is a little simpler.”
"Qin Huai knew that you ate the crab roe shaomai made by your master for a month. He specifically asked you which method was used to make it. He wanted to learn that. He also said that he would invite you to try it when it is ready.
Let’s see if it tastes like it did back then.”
"We all thought Qin Huai learned it specially because of your request." Gong Liang was shocked.
After the shock, I was filled with emotion.
Gong Liang was born in sales. Since he was young, he has been talking nonsense to people and ghosts. He has forgotten many of the things he said, and he never expected that anyone would take what he said to heart.
Gong Liang himself didn't remember whether he told Qin Huai that he once ate crab roe siomai for a month. However, crab roe siomai is indeed a very special snack for him.
That was the closest he got to realizing his dream.
Gong Liang also spent huge sums of money to hire famous dim sum chefs from other places to try to recreate the crab roe siomai he had eaten back then, but to no avail. Later, Zheng Da directly told him that the crab roe siomai was in a sense
He could give the recipe to Gong Liang for his unique secret recipe, but other pastry chefs would most likely not be able to make it.
This is indeed the case. Some dim sum chefs are highly skilled and can make crab roe shaomai that is equally delicious, but Gong Liang cannot taste the same taste as he did back then. Only Zheng Da, a direct disciple taught by Master Jing, can make several
The same taste.
Gong Liang felt that his eyes were a little wet, but his acting skills were very good, and he could control his emotional fluctuations to the point where outsiders couldn't see it. Gong Liang said: "Is that so? I don't know, maybe I'm with Xiao Qin
The master may have mentioned it, but I didn’t ask him."
"But I still have some knowledge about crab roe siomai. I can taste it in one bite if there is anything wrong with it! I didn't eat it seriously just now, so I will go back and eat another one now." Gong Liang went back to try the dishes with high spirits.
Dong Shi:.
Mr. Gong was actually willing to eat two of such unpalatable Shaomai.
What everyone has said is indeed true. Mr. Gong’s red envelope for Qin Huai must be the thickest this year.
Gong Liang returned to the small bench to shine for his food tasting career, but Qin Huai's two top food testers quarreled over Qin Huai's next teaching process. Qin Huai was a chef who was very good at writing wrong test questions.
