The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 276 Aren’t you going home for the New Year?

What does it feel like to be a master at making stuffing?
Qin Huai imagined that when he broke through from the advanced level to the master level, he should have felt something in his chest break. Then a warm current began to flow from his heart throughout his body, rushing straight to the top of his head, and his whole body felt as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened up, as if he was helped by God.

At the very least, it has to be the epiphany of the protagonists in the TV series when they are enlightened. After a burst of 5-cent special effects white light, the protagonist who had originally closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes with a firm look. Scenes of memories flashed through his mind, and he finally had an epiphany under the blessing of nostalgia.

The fact is that -

There is no feeling.

He didn't feel anything at all. Qin Huai didn't even realize that he had become a master at mixing stuffing until he opened the game panel.

According to experience, when Qin Huai reached the master level of stuffing, he should be holding a basin and stirring the meat stuffing vigorously.

Qin Huai looked at the meat filling in front of him.

If he upgraded his skill while mixing the meat stuffing, then is the meat stuffing in front of him the meat stuffing made by a master-level mixer or a high-level mixer?

Qin Huai could feel that he had improved a lot in making stuffing during this period. Not only had he improved, but he also had a deeper understanding of soaking in starch water. However, he didn't know how much a master-level stuffing master could improve his stuffing.

Would a masterful stuffing without a sense of epiphany really have much blessing?
Just try it and you’ll know.

Qin Huai began to prepare a new pot of meat filling.

Exactly the same steps as before.

Soak in starch water.

Season the filling.

There does seem to be a different feeling, and every step feels a little more handy.

I am more confident, very confident that I will never make a mistake. While mixing the stuffing, I chat with the people next to me about how the son of a certain family suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown to farm because he was harassed by his former boss, and the former boss was a man. These are the kind of exciting gossips that will never make a mistake.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the old branch secretary was telling this gossip by the Qinhuai River, Qinhuai was listening so intently that his hands shook when he was sprinkling salt, and the meat filling was sent to Grandma Qin to make meatball soup.

Now Qin Huai is very confident that this will not happen.

No matter how explosive the gossip is, it will not go away if you listen to it.

The stuffing is finished.

Qin Huai made some dumplings and put them in a pot to cook.

【Four Joys Dumplings Grade A】

After 8 days, Qinhuai cooked A-grade four-happiness dumplings again!

At this moment, Qin Huai felt relaxed all over, and nothing would look like a dumpling to him anymore.

At the same time, I don’t want to make dumplings anymore.

Why bother making dumplings at this time? Of course I have to call the respected Master Cao to report the good news!

Qin Huai took a photo of the prepared meat filling and sent it to Cao Guixiang, with the caption: Master Cao, do you think of the meat filling I prepared today?
Wait for reply.

Qin Huai stopped kneading the longevity noodles and making the four-happiness dumplings. He walked out of the kitchen with his cell phone, found the sunniest spot in the yard, found a chair and sat down to bask in the sun.

I was basking in the sun while browsing my Moments, waiting for Cao Guixiang's reply.

At the same time, Cao Guixiang, who was chatting with her old sisters in the park, was staring at the enlarged picture on her mobile phone with her reading glasses.

During these 8 days, Qin Huai and Cao Guixiang did not communicate much.

After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other, and Qin Huai did not have any questions to ask. He was just simply working hard to improve his proficiency, and would occasionally chat with Cao Guixiang when he learned some tricks of soaking in starch water.

Cao Guixiang knew that Qin Huai was very talented.

To be a chef, being able to endure hardship is one thing, having insight is another, and having talent is another.

Often, a chef's talent actually refers to his tongue. A good tongue can help a chef learn to cook more efficiently. The rumor that top chefs can taste the secret recipes of other people's dishes with just one bite is not just a rumor.

And insight refers more to breakthroughs in bottlenecks.

Ordinary passers-by do not have the system of the protagonist. They cannot see their levels or proficiency. They can only improve themselves through boring and hard practice day after day.

Sometimes this improvement is very fast, sometimes very slow, and sometimes there is no effect at all.

Just like cultivating immortals, you can work hard to reach a small level, but you have to rely on enlightenment to break through to a higher level.

Those with poor comprehension will be stuck at one level for their entire lives and may not be able to break through. Those with good comprehension will not even feel the level and will always be breaking through.

In Cao Guixiang's view, Qin Huai is a chef with talent, understanding and the ability to endure hardship.

He may not like to suffer, but he can endure it.

With a chef like this and such a bizarre cooking experience, nothing would seem strange to Cao Guixiang.

Cao Guixiang had always felt this way before seeing the picture of the meat filling sent by Qin Huai. Now...

Cao Guixiang suspected that the degree of her reading glasses might not be strong enough, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why the meat filling sent by Qin Huai was so delicious.

Well-processed meat filling is very beautiful. This processing not only refers to the knife skills, but also seasoning, stirring and other aspects of the processing can make the meat filling very beautiful.

When Cao Guixiang was still learning cooking, the marinated meat did not need to be cooked. Her master could tell whether she had handled it properly just by taking a look when he passed by.

"Guixiang, what are you looking at so intently? Did your grandson send you a message, or did your niece send you a message?" the friend who was chatting with Cao Guixiang asked jokingly.

Cao Guixiang adjusted her glasses and said, "It was a message from a guy I just met a few days ago, asking me to see the minced meat he had prepared."

After hearing what Cao Guixiang said, her friends stopped asking questions. Cao Guixiang's cooking skills were well-known among her friends, and everyone would send her messages to ask questions when they encountered problems while cooking.

Looking at the meat filling, Cao Guixiang suddenly felt regretful that she had not met him when she was a child in Qinhuai, and that she had not returned to Qiu County more than ten years ago to take a look at the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Home.

If I had met Qin Huai at that time, even if I didn't adopt him as my son, it would have been great to have him as my apprentice.

Having practiced basic skills since childhood and becoming a famous chef, with such an apprentice, Cao Guixiang couldn't imagine how cheerful she would be now.

Qinhuai would not have had such great strengths and few weaknesses as it does now, being able to make such delicious meat fillings but not being able to chop a decent piece of minced meat with a kitchen knife.

After thinking about it, Cao Guixiang did not reply to Qin Huai first, but called Zhang Chu instead.

Zhang Chu answered almost immediately.

"Guixiang, what's going on? Is there anything missing at home that you want to buy? I'm right next to the supermarket."

"Wood." said Cao Guixiang.

"Ah?" Zhang Chu thought he had heard it wrong.

"Didn't you promise to make a few molds for Xiao Qin for free? Using the best wood? Have you bought the wood?"

Zhang Chu scratched his head in confusion: "Is this wood... urgent? Isn't Xiao Qin still in the countryside for the New Year? When he comes back and has time, I should be able to discuss with him which molds and wood to order, right?"

"Order more. I'll tell you when I get home tonight. Follow my instructions to make some tools for Xiao Qin. The most important thing is to make six good cutting boards." Cao Guixiang said solemnly, "Xiao Qin's knife skills are too poor. He needs to practice."

"You go shopping for groceries tomorrow morning. I have to find some kitchen knives suitable for Xiao Qin."

Zhang Chu: ...Why is his wife suddenly so interested in Qin Huai?

Qinhuai is sending out four-happiness dumplings again?

Zhang Chu didn't understand, but he nodded: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Guixiang replied to Qin Huai without mentioning the meat filling in the photo.

Cao Guixiang: Xiao Qin, when are you free to come to my house for dinner? I can also ask my husband Zhang to discuss the mold issue with you.

Qin Huai: After the Lantern Festival, the 16th day of the first lunar month will be fine.

Cao Guixiang: OK, then let’s set it for noon on the 16th day of the first lunar month∩_∩

Qin Huai looked at the message sent by Cao Guixiang with some surprise, and thought to himself, isn't the meat filling he sent worthy of Cao Guixiang's comment in a few words?

On second thought, Qin Huai felt that it was not worth it. Cao Guixiang could chop meat into a quality that only a master could achieve. Perhaps in Cao Guixiang's eyes, the meat he had just sent over could only be considered passable.

As expected, there are always people who are better than you. When Qin Huai felt that Huang Shengli’s cooking skills were already very good, there would always be people who were much better at cooking than Huang Shengli.

There are many masters among the people. It is not a big deal to have the six people from Zhiweiju call me Master Qin. I still have a lot of room for improvement.

Qin Huai, who originally planned to take a few days off, decided to take only one day off. He would rest today, make glutinous rice balls tomorrow morning, and rest in the afternoon to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

Then on the 16th day of the first lunar month, we went directly to the city to order the mold, thus ending Qinjia Village’s Spring Festival limited edition Four-Happiness Dumplings delivery event.

Qin Huai looked at the meat filling he had taken a few more times with satisfaction, and felt that it would be a shame not to show off such good meat filling.

He silently distributed the meat filling to Zheng Da, Huang Shengli, Zheng Siyuan, Dong Shi and Tan Weian.

Zheng Siyuan is the fastest to reply to messages.

Qin Huai guessed that his pastry shop had most likely reopened, and Master Zheng had returned to his previous leisurely life, living a leisurely life of making and selling batches of pastries.

I guess he is selling cakes now, that’s why he replied so quickly.

Zheng Siyuan: Aren’t you going home for the New Year?
Zheng Siyuan: The game system in your imagination has issued new tasks?
Zheng Siyuan: How did you do it?
Zheng Siyuan: Is it true that there is no master chef in your village?
Zheng Siyuan: Do you have a video? Please send it to me.

Zheng Siyuan: When will you return to Shan City? I'll come to see you.

Zheng Siyuan: I want to try what the current four-happiness dumplings taste like.
