The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 111: Qianqian's Car Overturn

In the afternoon, Qin Huai was surprised to find that Chen An did not leave after get off work.

Ouyang skipped work and sat in the cafeteria from 2 o'clock.

Chen Huihong and Chen Yingjun arrived even earlier, found a good seat by the window and brought their own melon seeds and snacks. Chen Yingjun even brought two bags of spicy noodles.

The afternoon tea chat group, led by Xu Tuqiang and Uncle Cao, was very complete, and even Grandma Ding joined with her husband.

Uncle Wang Gensheng and Chen Juan inexplicably took an afternoon walk and came from their own community to Yunzhong Community, sat down in the cafeteria and waited for a while.

Of course, these are actually nothing.

The most important ones were Luo Jun and Qu Jing who came twice a day. The former came again at 10 pm after drinking tangerine peel tea at around am, while the latter met Master Zheng by chance in the morning. She took advantage of her late shift and sat there until am waiting for the shortbread to come out of the pan. After returning with a full load, she showed up again at pm, which made Qin Huai wonder if she was on vacation today.

Qin Huai not only doubted, he also asked.

"Mr. Luo said that his waist was uncomfortable today. He suspected that something went wrong during the last physical therapy. He didn't want the doctor from the rehabilitation department to come to his home, so he specifically asked me to come and take a look. The hospital then sent me out for diagnosis." Qu Jing stood at the window, hunched over, and explained with a mask on. From a distance, he looked very much like an underground worker making contact.

Qin Huai understood that Luo Jun used his traditional skills to make trouble for the doctor.

"Qin Huai, are you making grapes?" Qu Jing looked at the dough in Qin Huai's hand and pointed at the dough in Zheng Siyuan's hand. "Why do I feel that the grapes you make are different from those made by Master Zheng... Are you making raisins?"

Qin Huai:......

Qin Huai can only say that Qu Jing has the art of language, but not much.

Qin Huai knew why there were so many people in the cafeteria this afternoon.

It must be because of Qin Luo’s three Moments yesterday.

Qin Luo was a junior high school student who loved adding WeChat during the summer vacation, and now he is a high school student who loves adding WeChat.

What changes is the academic qualifications, what remains unchanged is the passion.

During the summer vacation, Qin Luo added almost all the regular customers of the cafeteria on WeChat. At that time, the customers, led by Grandma Ding, who bought steamed buns for their grandchildren, were still trying to bribe Qin Luo to let Qin Huai make the steamed buns that their children loved to eat, and they were very active in liking Qin Luo's circle of friends.

At that time, Qin Luo would post to his Moments every morning and afternoon, and all of them were photos of snacks. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was the official account of Yunzhong Canteen. His cousin who was far away in Qiu County was so greedy that he drooled.

Now that Qin Luo has started school, she posts less frequently on her Moments, but everyone still treats her Moments as her official account.

Yesterday's apple-faced fruit shocked everyone.

Normal people would first think "Wow, awesome!" when seeing this kind of Moments. But the diners of Yunzhong Canteen, led by Grandma Ding, would first think "How much is it? I have to buy one to try."

As the saying goes, action speaks louder than words, and everyone took action this afternoon.

Zheng Siyuan originally planned to make peaches and red dates today, but at Qin Huai's suggestion, he changed it to grapes and dates.

It’s not that grapes taste better than peaches, it’s that grapes sell better.

Qin Huai knew very well that noodle fruit would one day become a random drop in the cafeteria in the afternoon. He was in the learning stage now, helping Zheng Siyuan. When his fingering skills reached the intermediate level and the numerical panel was not so ugly that he could barely do it, the cafeteria would start to randomly drop it regularly.

Luo Jun's mission must be completed.

Qin Huai felt that it was necessary to let the regular customers of Yunzhong Canteen taste the authentic flavor of noodle fruit first, and then try his own random drops, so as not to tarnish the reputation of noodle fruit in the future.

Zheng Siyuan doesn't care about this at all. He opened a pastry shop at the entrance of his community in Suzhou because he likes to make and sell pastries. He enjoys the process of making pastries, and even more so the process of receiving positive feedback from customers who buy pastries.

These regular customers of Yunzhong Canteen are very good at giving good reviews. If Zheng Siyuan was not an old customer who was reluctant to leave the pastry shop, he would even think that there was nothing wrong with working here for two years.

Let’s make progress together with Qinhuai.

Qu Jing was the only customer in the cafeteria this afternoon who did not come for the noodles. She stood at the window and chatted with Qin Huai for a while. After confirming that Luo Jun was just making trouble for the doctor and did not really have a problem with his waist, she sat back at Luo Jun's table with a clear mind, leaving Qin Huai to continue fighting with the noodles.

Yes, fight.

Today's Qinhuai and yesterday's Qinhuai are completely different Qinhuai.

Yesterday, Qin Huai was making apple noodles as if with divine help, which almost made Zheng Siyuan start to doubt his life.

Today, the situation was completely reversed. Qin Huai first failed slightly when making red bean paste buns in the morning, and then couldn't find the feeling of yesterday when making grape dough in the afternoon. Grapes are small and round, and seem to be the easiest dough to make.

But Zheng Siyuan said that grapes are much more difficult to make than apples. Just as there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, chefs cannot make two grapes that are exactly the same when making grape pasta.

The degree of expansion of the dough during the steaming process is naturally different, so the steamed grapes cannot be exactly the same. However, the chef cannot make them all according to the same mold. It is best to have some big and some small so that the finished product can be arranged into the shape of a complete bunch of grapes.

It was the first time that Qin Huai felt that kneading dough was so difficult.

For the first time, I realized that my ten fingers were not completely controlled by my brain.

Brain: Got it?

Finger: Get lost!

Car rollovers are a common occurrence.

But if you fail after success, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Especially since this success was photographed by my sister and posted on WeChat Moments, where she praised it a lot and gave it 15-star reviews. It would be extremely embarrassing if it failed again.

Qin Huai looked around at the familiar diners in the hall, then looked at the grape dough in his hands, which he had worked hard on but was not quite satisfactory, and asked Zheng Siyuan sincerely:

"Siyuan, do you think it's too late to make apple noodles now?"

Zheng Siyuan: “…It’s still in time.”

Zheng Siyuan silently looked at the grape dough in his hand and felt that it was a bit of a mess.

The filling of mianguoer does not need to be fried or stewed like the filling of wudingbao, which involves a series of troublesome processes. The filling of mianguoer is difficult in terms of the combination of ingredients.

The most difficult part had already been solved by Zheng Siyuan's master, Master Jing, and all Zheng Siyuan had to do was copy the formula.

In fact, most of the noodles sold on the market now have the same filling of jujube paste for the convenience of making. No matter what shape of noodles the guests eat, they are essentially eating jujube.

Zheng Siyuan urgently prepared a batch of apple-filled fruit fillings, and Qin Huai went back to his old job of pinching apples, regaining the feeling of yesterday.

"You really haven't done this before?" Zheng Siyuan couldn't help but ask again.

"No, but I think what you said makes sense. Apples are indeed the simplest pastry fruit, much easier to make than grapes!"

Qin Huai felt that he should listen more to Zheng Siyuan in the future. These dim sum chefs who graduated from professional schools are very professional when it comes to teaching!

Zheng Siyuan: …

The apple noodle I mentioned is the simplest noodle, meaning that for me... I mean I am good at it... Noodles themselves are not simple... When did apple noodles become simple... No, I am...

Zheng Siyuan thought it would be better for him not to speak.

At 5 pm, the apple and red date noodles were ready.

After seeking Zheng Siyuan's consent, Qin Huai told everyone that the noodles and fruits this afternoon would be free of charge, as an epic reward.

After all, those who can see Qin Luo’s circle of friends are the core customers of Yunzhong Canteen.

It’s because Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan haven’t decided on the price yet.

Zheng Siyuan has never sold noodles in all the years he has run the pastry shop, so he has no idea what the price is.

As the financial sponsor, Chen Yingjun received 11 dates and 4 apples.

Chen Yingjun’s wife Hu Yue also came.

Hu Yue looked at the noodles on the table and was a little surprised: "Yingjun, didn't you say yesterday that Master Xiao Qin and Master Xiao Zheng would make other noodles today? Why are there apples?"

Chen Yingjun had already picked up an apple and started to eat it. He said vaguely, "Don't worry about the chef's business."

"Just eat it."
