The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 143 Let the World See Him
Qinhuai's fermented glutinous rice steamed buns became famous overnight. All the chefs in the kitchen said they were delicious after eating them, and then asked Qinhuai with great anticipation whether he was willing to participate in the preparation of employee meals.

It's not that other people's cooking is not good, it's mainly because I like to eat dim sum. It's been three years since we have seen white pastry-related meals in the employee canteen.

Even Huang Shengli's only son, Huang Anyao, the future heir of Huang's Restaurant, and the young master who Dong Shi said had a terrible marketing plan, came over specially to eat the last fermented rice steamed bun and praised it highly.

Then he asked Qin Huai if he was willing to prepare employee meals.

Qin Huai lost himself in the praises of the crowd.

Qin Huai originally thought that there was nothing much to do since he had just arrived, so he made some steamed buns with fermented glutinous rice wine to show off his skills. As a result, everyone was so supportive, enthusiastic, and expectant, Qin Huai felt that he could not disappoint everyone's expectations, so he made three- and five-diced buns and boiled two large pots of tangerine peel tea.

Everyone was very tactful and did not ask why the tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seed soup was called tangerine peel tea.

Don’t ask, the answer is Qinhuai’s ingenuity.

Zheng Siyuan, who was sitting on a small stool in the distance, drinking tea and eating melon seeds with Huang Shengli, looked at Qin Huai who was working directly with full energy, as if he saw himself some time ago.

It turns out that everyone has his own way of cheating.

"I didn't expect Xiao Qin to have such a personality." Huang Shengli happily watched his disciples and son team up to coax Qin Huai into making snacks, "I always thought Xiao Qin was a very calm and steady person."

"I didn't expect that Xiao Qin is the same as you. He looks calm on the surface, but actually gets so happy when people praise him that he loses his mind." Huang Shengli looked at Zheng Siyuan.

Zheng Siyuan refused to admit that he was like this.

He will not lose himself because of the praise from his peers.

He will only PUA himself because of his clients' disappointment.

"Qin Huai is actually... not like this usually." Zheng Siyuan felt that he had to say a few words for Qin Huai, otherwise it would easily affect his image. "When he was in the Yunzhong Canteen, he made snacks quite casually. He made whatever he wanted, mainly based on the tastes of his friends and his sister."

"I've heard of this." Huang Shengli took a sip of tea. "Xiao Qin has no master to teach him, and he has never learned dim sum systematically. What dim sum he makes mainly depends on what his sister wants to eat. When I first heard your father say that, I thought he was kidding me. How could there be such a self-taught chef in the world?"

"What about now?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

"Now I have to admit that there are indeed geniuses in this world that I can't imagine. I was just looking at the world from a narrow perspective." Huang Shengli smiled bitterly, "Xiao Qin can even learn the skills of the fire in online classes. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

"I really never thought that one day I would be able to make a video to teach people how to practice fire control."

"So you asked me to ask Qin Huai if he wanted to come over to study and communicate for a while. Do you want to give him guidance face to face?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

"Not entirely." Huang Shengli glanced at Qin Huai who was cooking stuffing, "I also know Xiao Qin's situation. He has businesses, employees, family, familiar customers, and friends in Shan City. It's impossible for him to come to Gusu to study for a long time."

"Besides, I'm a chef who specializes in professional cooking, and Xiao Qin is a common chef. Even if I want to take him in as my apprentice, I don't have a real master. As for your father..."

Huang Shengli tutted his words in disdain: "If he hadn't gone into business back then and had run the restaurant with me, and had been practicing his cooking skills all these years, he might have been qualified to take Xiao Qin as his apprentice."

"Now... at Xiao Qin's age, if he practices for two years and polishes his knife skills a little, he doesn't even need to find a master. He can surpass your father in less than five years by studying systematically on his own. With your father's level, he still wants to take advantage of others as his apprentice. I think he has no chance." Zheng Siyuan agreed with Huang Shengli's evaluation of his father and nodded: "So, uncle, you want to..."

"Let Xiao Qin make more friends in the circle." Huang Shengli said, "Change his current thinking."

"I feel like he doesn't have any idea about his cooking skills. Maybe he's a little too wild. Although your dad is a good cook, he doesn't seem very reliable. Although your white pastry cooking skills are the best among your peers, you stay at the gate of the community every day making pastries. You don't look like a genius at all."

"As for me, I have fame, but my health is not good. I am just an old man who is about to retire."

"I have no problem with Xiao Qin getting up at 4 a.m. every morning to make breakfast. It's just a personal habit. As long as his skills are good enough, even if he gets up at 1 a.m. to make breakfast, there will still be customers willing to line up at his store at 2 a.m."

"But Xiao Qin still thinks of himself as a breakfast shop chef. He considers selling breakfast as his main job and dim sum as a sideline. This idea is very problematic."

"It's not that I look down on breakfast, but if Xiao Qin really develops this habit, he will make steamed buns and steamed buns every day for the next 20 to 30 years, and his snacks will be made casually, which will limit his development."

"Look at Xiao Qin now. He can obviously make apple noodles, but when he showed his cooking skills, his first reaction was to make steamed buns and dumplings."

"This is his habit. I don't think it's a bad habit, but I believe he must have better and more difficult snacks, but he couldn't think of it at the first time."

"He should have a wider track and a broader vision."

"It's like why pastry chefs from all over the world want to try their luck at Zhiweiju, because they know that Zhiweiju has the largest number of top pastry chefs in the country. Only when you make a name for yourself at Zhiweiju can you gain a firm foothold in the culinary world. There are famous pastry chefs from all schools there, and you can broaden your horizons and learn a lot there."

"Even if you can't make it in Zhiweiju, you can still be popular in other restaurants."

"Xiao Qin is different from you. You are your father's son. Your father taught you all your skills. Your father's reputation is there, so you don't need to venture out to make a name for yourself. You can sell cakes and pastries at the gate of the community peacefully. When one day you don't want to stay here anymore, you can find a place to go as long as you ask."

"Xiao Qin is different. He is a pure wild person. If no one takes him out to see the world, he might really stay in the community canteen selling breakfast and be a breakfast chef for the rest of his life."

Zheng Siyuan seemed to understand a little.

"So, Master, you want Qin Huai to come out and see the world?"

"No, I want him to come out and let the world see him." Huang Shengli said.

"Let everyone know that there is a young and amazing pastry chef hidden in Shan City."

"At the same time, it also lets Xiao Qin know how great he is. He is no longer the Xiao Qin who sells breakfast in the breakfast shop. He is the Xiao Qin who makes dim sum and is sought after by everyone in the restaurant."

"A genius? He should have the temperament of a genius and enjoy the treatment of a genius. If he is always made to feel that he is ordinary, then what kind of genius is he?"

"Weren't you also exaggerated by me, your father, and my disciples when you were a child?"
