The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 286 Any recommendations?
The method of making Four-Happiness Tangyuan has been written many times in the previous articles.

Qin Huai made the Four Joys Tangyuan according to many of the same descriptions that had appeared before.

Sometimes Qin Huai had to admit that Luo Jun was a very considerate old man. Most of the time you didn't need to say anything to him, he would take the initiative to ask Zhang Shumei to prepare everything that could be prepared.

The ingredients for tangerine peel tea are placed by the sink.

The bag of glutinous rice flour is placed on the kitchen counter.

The sesame candy and red bean paste fillings that Qinhuai had mailed over two days ago were all thawed and placed on the kitchen counter covered with a lid.

The preserved fruits and nuts are next to the bag of glutinous rice flour.

Even the pork is bought fresh in the morning. It is the most suitable part for making the meat filling for the four-happiness dumplings. It is placed in the most conspicuous position on the top shelf of the refrigerator and can be seen as soon as the refrigerator door is opened.

By the way, next to the pork is a freshly processed pigeon.

Qinhuai first stews the tangerine peel tea, and then starts to make the four-happiness dumplings.

After more than a week of knife skills training, Qinhuai’s Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls have improved by leaps and bounds, but they can be said to be exactly the same.

His knife skills training did not improve his knife skills, it was simply a training to disperse his skills and start over.

It's just that in martial arts novels, the practice of retraining is like a favored child being thrown into a quagmire, losing all his martial arts, and destroying his bones. Then he goes through countless hardships, a TV series of at least 5 episodes, a novel of at least 50 words, encounters various opportunities, and it's best if he gets to know a few confidantes or good brothers, suffers the ups and downs of life, and finally obtains peerless magic skills to show off and get slapped in the face.

This is not Qin Huai's plot.

Qin Huai doesn't have much power to disperse.

He simply forgot his previous worthless wrong basic skills and started from scratch as a beginner, learning how to hold the knife. He practiced knife skills for a few days.

When Qin Huai held the knife, he felt that he could be considered a professional chef with a semi-professional training.

This movement, this exertion of force, this flowing feeling, this simple way of chopping the preserved fruits and nuts.

Master Cao, I have learned to be your anonymous disciple!
Qin Huai was happily cutting preserved fruits in the kitchen, and then started to cut meat. Chen Huihong secretly looked in from outside the kitchen, picked up the fruit and ate it while whispering:
"Luo Jun, why don't you ask Zhang Shumei to help Xiao Qin cut the meat? You know Xiao Qin's meat cutting skills are just a little better than mine."

Luo Jun: "...blame me?"

"How many Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls did I eat in total? You gave me 8 kilograms of the Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls you brought back from Suzhou. When Xiao Zhang went back home during the New Year holidays, I gave her 3 kilograms. No one was at home to cook the glutinous rice balls, so I cooked them myself and the pot was burnt. How would I know what kind of meat to use?"

Luo Jun wanted to spit fire and burn Chen Huihong together: "You still want me to write my experience, why should I write my experience for Qin Huai? Am I the kind of person who can write experience?"

“You didn’t write…”

“I wrote a bad review!”

In order to prevent herself from laughing out loud, Qu Jing could only stuff rice cake soup into her mouth.

An hour later, the temperature had cooled down, and Qin Huai brought out the just-right tangerine peel tea and four-happiness dumplings from the kitchen at the same time.

The TV in the living room was turned off. Luo Jun sat at the dining table, eating cherries and watching Qu Jing peeling pomegranates with small tongs.

Chen Huihong was also watching from the side, eating melon seeds while watching, and from time to time she would take a few pomegranates from the small bowl full of pomegranates that Qu Jing had already peeled and put them in her mouth.

"Mr. Luo, given the condition of your legs and waist, you really need to go to the hospital for regular physical therapy. I heard from Sister Hong a few days ago that you haven't left the house for the past few months and have been sitting at home for a long time, and you are so old. You are not a Bifang now, you have a human body. Even if your body is stronger than that of an ordinary human, you are 92 years old. Don't be afraid to see a doctor."

"You still have to do the physical therapy. You've already paid for it, right?"

Qu Jing was peeling a pomegranate while persuading Luo Jun in a gentle voice, not caring whether Luo Jun listened or not, because her attention was all on the pomegranate and she didn't even look at Luo Jun.

Luo Jun was eating cherries with an expressionless face. He sat up straight when he saw Qin Huai coming out of the kitchen with a tray in his hand.

"The four-happiness dumplings and tangerine peel tea are ready. They are both at the perfect temperature and can be eaten directly." Qin Huai walked to the dining table. Qu Jing quickly stood up and helped Qin Huai bring the bowls to the table.

Two bowls per person.

There were only four chairs at the dining table. Luo Jun and Chen Huihong sat together, Qin Huai and Qu Jing sat together. In front of Qin Huai's seat was a banana with a beautiful shape and no black spots.

Qin Huai picked up the banana and started eating almost as soon as he sat down.

Luo Jun began to taste the tangerine peel tea.

In Luo Jun's opinion, let alone the A-grade Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls, even the S-grade Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls have to rank behind the Tangerine Peel Tea.

Luo Jun only took a sip and then praised lightly: "Your skills have not been learned in vain, they are better than before."

"It may be because the drinks you drank before, Mr. Luo, were delivered from other provinces, and the taste was not as good as before when it was delivered." Qin Huai still has self-knowledge.

His tangerine peel tea is of grade D+, and the grade is not deceptive.

Luo Jun said nothing and continued drinking.

Chen Huihong has started eating the Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls while playing with her mobile phone. The interface of her mobile phone is full of memos, which contain her eating experience of the Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls written during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that Chen Huihong had started eating the dumplings according to the memo, Qu Jing followed suit and took out her cell phone to find the eating experience she had written.

Qin Huai:......

No, how much do you distrust the Grade A Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls?
He reiterated that Grade A Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls and Grade B Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls are not the same kind of Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls at all!
Four-happiness glutinous rice balls are a standard combination skill, 1+1+1+1>4. Even if the other three remain unchanged and only one is improved to make up for the shortcoming, the overall taste and eating experience will be qualitatively improved.

Obviously, Chen Huihong and Qu Jing are not enjoying this improvement in quality, because they are still following the previous order of eating the glutinous rice balls with red bean paste filling first, then the sesame filling, and then the meat filling.

Chen Huihong eats very quickly.

She must be hungry.

Qin Huai didn't eat at all. He just stared at Chen Huihong, waiting for her to eat the meat-filled dumplings.

Today is the first day since his master Xiao Qin returned like lightning. He has to prove his strength in front of these three monsters, and prove that his hard work and study during the entire New Year period were not in vain.

Chen Huihong scooped up the glutinous rice balls stuffed with fresh meat.

Chen Huihong opened her mouth.

Chen Huihong took a bite of half of it.

She began to chew.

Her expression began to change.

She was about to speak.

It's now!

"Eh." Chen Huihong looked at the glutinous rice dumpling in the spoon with some surprise. The meat filling was wrapped in glutinous rice skin. After it was cooked, especially for an outsider, nothing could be seen.

"Xiao Qin's cooking skills have really improved. This meat-filled dumpling is much more delicious than before."

Then Chen Huihong couldn't wait to chew and chew, finishing the meat filling in no time and eating the last piece of fruit filling.

After finishing a bowl of tangyuan, Chen Huihong drank two mouthfuls of the tasteless soup and praised it: "It's delicious. It's really delicious this time."

Then there were no additional words or expressions, and Chen Huihong continued to drink the tangerine peel tea.

Qu Jing ate the glutinous rice balls much slower than Chen Huihong. Chen Huihong started drinking tangerine peel tea before Qu Jing had just finished the meat filling.

Due to his personality, Qu Jing is not a person who expresses his emotions extrovertly. After awakening, he simply changed from being a lonely person to a normal introvert.

"Delicious." Qu Jing praised today's Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls. Afraid that her poor words might seem perfunctory, she looked at Qin Huai very sincerely and said firmly, "It's really delicious." "It's much more delicious than before. How about I go back and write a new review for you?"

Qin Huai:......

Even though he was praised, why did he always feel that he had not made a comeback as expected?

“No, no.” Qin Huai waved his hands repeatedly. “The Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls are good enough here. No need to write a review. You can write a review when I start practicing the glutinous rice cakes.”

The glutinous rice cake recipe was retrieved from Qu Jing's memory, so she is the most qualified to comment on it.

"Okay, I will definitely write it carefully." Qu Jing nodded with a smile.

The tea party at Luo Jun's house lasted until after 6 o'clock in the evening. The four of them didn't talk about any important and nutritious topics, nor did they talk much about ghosts. They just simply shared their New Year's life.

Luo Jun's New Year's life was dull and boring. He spent it watching TV series and movies and writing bad reviews.

Qu Jing was not much better off. She didn't dare tell Luo Jun and Chen Huihong about the part where she went to visit her biological parents for fear of being exposed. The rest of the time she was on duty in the hospital, and there was no exciting medical dispute worth talking about.

The medical disputes in their neurology department seem so unremarkable compared with those in other departments, not to mention that they are a private hospital, so medical disputes themselves are relatively unremarkable.

Qin Huai was also very bored, all he did was make dumplings and cut radishes.

The most exciting one was Chen Huihong. Compared with Ouyang who sent his entire family to the hospital on New Year's Eve, Chen Huihong was slightly inferior, but not much worse.

She took herself to the hospital on New Year's Day.

Maybe it was influenced by Qin Huai's cooking, or maybe it was because she ate too many delicious steamed buns at Qin Huai's place last year, which made her feel that Chen's mother's buckwheat steamed buns were really unpalatable and bloated.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Huihong volunteered to cook a meal for her family, and then cut herself three times while cutting vegetables.

It's not serious, just put on a Band-Aid.

If you don't control the heat well when cooking, the food will either not be cooked through or burnt, which is not a big problem.

The real problem comes in cooking the soup.

Chen Huihong cooked a big pot of radish and pork ribs soup.

Then she forgot.

The kitchen is on fire.

She was gloriously injured while fighting the fire and was admitted to the hospital on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The tea party ended with Luo Jun saying, "Chen Huihong, if you want to die, you can just jump off the building. There is no need to go into the kitchen. Don't even think about entering my kitchen from now on!"

What a warm and cheerful tea party.

After the tea party, Qin Huai wanted to go home and play with his phone to end a pleasant day. But before he even reached the door of his apartment, he suddenly felt a little regretful for not having white rice today. During these days at Cao Guixiang's house, Qin Huai fell in love with eating formal meals, and the thing he looked forward to most every day was eating.

After all, who can resist a home-cooked meal prepared by Cao Guixiang?
Home-cooked dishes are served with rice, take a bite of the dish and a bite of rice, then pour the soup on the rice, it's sizzling.

"Slurp." Qin Huai felt hungry.

Qin Huai decided to go to his own canteen to see if the chef had been lazy in the past few months and whether his cooking skills had regressed.

Yunzhong Canteen at 6 pm is the second busiest time of the day.

For ordinary workers, there are many choices for dinner. If you get paid, you can have a good meal. If you don't get paid, you can go home and eat something casual. The ordinary meals in Yunzhong Canteen are considered cheap among the fast food restaurants nearby, and it is the first choice for many workers after work.

Even on days when Chef Qin is not around, office workers will still choose to come to the Yunzhong Canteen to have a mediocre meal, sitting in their familiar seats and lamenting the happy times when they could enjoy snacks to their heart's content.

There are a lot of office workers in Yunzhong Canteen tonight.

Everyone has received the news that Master Xiao Qin has returned like lightning.

Around 3 pm, it briefly appeared in Xiaoou Hand-Pulled Lemon Tea Shop for a while, and then disappeared. It was suspected to be an advertisement for Xiaoou Hand-Pulled Lemon Tea.

However, the photos and videos as evidence have encouraged many new and old diners, and everyone is looking forward to breakfast tomorrow morning.

Only when you lose something do you learn to cherish the good things of the past. For many diners who have not been able to go to Gusu, the time when they could eat the buns and dim sum made by Chef Qin every day was like a dream.

Now, the dream is back!

Xiao Zhang, a worker who never had a name, came to Yunzhong Canteen to eat after get off work as usual.

Xiao Zhang's company has strict management. During working hours, he cannot look at his phone for more than 30 seconds and go to the toilet for more than 5 minutes. In addition, Xiao Zhang is exhausted physically and mentally after working all afternoon, so he is one of the few regular customers who does not check the group messages.

When Xiao Zhang came here, he noticed that Xiaoou’s hand-made lemon tea shop opposite the Yunzhong Canteen seemed to have opened. There were a lot of customers and a long queue.

When Xiao Zhang entered the store, he was still sighing in his heart, everyone said that milk tea was not easy to sell, but there was still a milk tea shop with such good business. The Yunzhong Canteen was really a Feng Shui treasure land.

"Handsome guy, what would you like to eat?" the waiter asked enthusiastically.

Xiao Zhang looked at the dishes that hadn't changed much in the past few months and said uninterestedly, "Stir-fried pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cauliflower, and a bowl of seaweed soup."

"Okay." The waiter served the dishes quickly, "We still have the peach cakes that Master Pei made this afternoon. Would you like two pieces?"

"Two pieces, please."

Xiao Zhang took the tray and began to look for a seat.

Just then, he heard the young man behind him ask the waiter in a joking but familiar tone: "Pei Xing's pastries won't be sold out until 6pm. Has he been lazy lately and is no longer popular?"

The familiar voice made Xiao Zhang take a closer look.

At just one glance, Xiao Zhang was stunned.

Qin Huai, wearing a mask, was pointing at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and told the waiter to serve more and pour the soup over the rice.

"Master...Master Qin!" Xiao Zhang's voice trembled.

At one point, his tears were about to fall.

Master Qin, do you know what we had for breakfast while you were not at Yunzhong Canteen?

When you’re not around, I can’t eat the snacks you made for lunch, and the food doesn’t taste good at all!

"Shh." Qin Huai made a hushing sound, "Don't make any noise. I haven't been to work yet today."

Xiao Zhang quickly shut up.

"Remember to come to the cafeteria early for breakfast tomorrow. There will be a lot of new products tomorrow, and the food will be even more delicious." Qin Huai said with a smile, "You can also visit the Xiaoou Handmade Lemon Tea Shop opposite when you are free."

“It’s really delicious!”

"Definitely!" Xiao Zhang said excitedly, trying to lower his voice so as not to attract other people's attention, so that others would think that the two of them were just friends who happened to meet while getting food.

"Do you have any recommendations?" Xiao Zhang asked.

Qin Huai: "Don't drink weird-flavored lemon tea."

“Strawberry, coconut milk, blueberry and mango, highly recommended.”
