The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 328 Su Qian
If Xu Tuqiang's unchanging love for Jiangmi Nian Gao made Qin Huai realize that he had been a little obsessed with completing side quests and main quests, forgetting his original job as a dim sum chef and being controlled by the tasks issued by the game, then the new batch of helpers at Zhiweiju provided a solid material foundation for Qin Huai to return to his original job as a dim sum chef.

When Qin Huai was talking to Boss Su, Qin Huai did not take the initiative to say how many people he needed. He just revealed very vaguely that the kitchen of Yunzhong Canteen was very large and was not afraid of too many people.

Boss Su is not an incompetent young master like Huang Anyao. He immediately understood Qin Huai's hint and sent a total of 9 people over this time.

Tan Weian and Su Qian, the registered disciple of Master Zhou, the leader of Zhiweiju, led the team. Gu Li was forced into the team by Tan Weian because of Qin Huai's recommendation. These three were considered direct descendants, and the remaining 6 were elite apprentices who had no master but were very motivated and talented, and had the hope of being valued by the master chef and accepted as his disciples.

Several ordinary apprentices who went to Huang's for exchanges last time were not selected. It can be seen that the job at Huang's was not considered a good job by the people of Zhiweiju at that time, and even the elites did not sign up.

Since Su Gan had a name and was a registered disciple of Master Zhou, Tan Weian introduced the deputy team leader in very brief words after arriving at the Yunzhong Canteen.

To put it simply, he is a person with good connections and good talent.

It is not difficult to guess from the surname that Su Gan is a relative of Boss Su and the son of Boss Su's second cousin. The relationship is relatively close, and he is even closer than Pei Xing, who is a half-relative.

As a relative of Boss Su, Su Qian is almost certain to be Master Zhou's future disciple. The reason why he is still a nominal disciple is because Master Zhou has very high requirements for his disciples, not only talent but also character.

As the most recognized chef in white-cooked dishes in China and the highest-ranked white-cooked dish chef in Zhiweiju, Master Zhou likes to recruit apprentices. He has 5 direct disciples and countless registered disciples. Becoming a registered disciple is a hurdle, which means that Master Zhou recognizes your talent and current strength and you are eligible for admission.

As for whether he can further study and become a direct disciple, it depends on his subsequent efforts and whether he can achieve results under the guidance of Master Zhou.

Among Master Zhou's many registered disciples, Su Gan has the greatest hope of becoming the sixth direct disciple. He is also one of the best scroll masters in Zhiweiju.

Master Zhou is a very traditional and old-school master of white cakes. Besides talent, he values ​​diligence the most when recruiting apprentices. Because of his own experience in the early years, Master Zhou still insists that diligence can make up for lack of talent.

Perhaps talent can be a decisive factor in other industries, but Chef Zhou believes that in the industry of chefs, at least for white-casserole chefs, one effort, one sweat, one reward. Talent is the conversion rate of turning effort into sweat, but without the prerequisites, no matter how high the conversion rate is, it is useless.

He has praised Gu Li's diligence more than once in Zhiweiju, but he has also expressed regret for Gu Li's talent.

Before, when they were at Huang Ji, Tan Weian mentioned to Qin Huai that his grandfather Master Tan had the best relationship with Master Zhou during his lifetime, and Master Zhou took good care of him and Gu Li after Master Tan passed away. This is why Tan Weian has Master Zhou’s recipe for various fruit fillings.

On weekdays, it was Master Zhou who gave the most advice to Gu Li, but Master Zhou himself had many direct disciples, as well as many registered disciples who were hungry, madly competing for jobs, and so he had little time to guide Gu Li.

With this background, as soon as Tan Weian introduced Su Gan, Qin Huai knew that he must be the super curling king among this group of people, second only to Gu Li.

Moreover, Qin Huai could tell from the tone of everyone's voice and the way they looked at people that although Su Gan was the deputy team leader, he was obviously more prestigious and had more say than Tan Weian, and it was very likely that his case-solving skills were higher than Tan Weian's.

In the chef industry, food is the original sin.

"Master Qin, this is the list of nine of us. Boss Su arranged accommodation for us. Since there are no houses available in Yunzhong Community, we live in the next community, which is about 9 minutes away."

"Before we came, Tan Weian told us that your Yunzhong Canteen is different from ordinary restaurants. It serves all three meals, with breakfast being the focus."

"This is the schedule I made. Please take a look at it. Our dim sum at Zhiweiju is usually sold after 10 a.m., and some dim sum is not sold until 12 noon, so I don't know much about the preparation time of breakfast."

"The schedule tentatively says we'll be at the store at 3:40 in the morning. Is this time okay?"

As soon as Su Gan opened his mouth, he showed his elegance.

Qin Huaiqian took a look at the shift schedule and found that Su Qian had three morning shifts in a week, and the remaining four morning shifts were for Gu Li. It was obvious that these two were the leaders of the morning shifts, while Tan Weian had none.

Qin Huai glanced at Tan Weian and sighed in his heart, "No wonder you, the team leader, are not as well-received as the deputy team leader. After all this time, you are not as strong as them and you can't win."

Only one less early shift than Gu Li, he is a roll king.

"No need to be so early." Qin Huai said directly after taking a quick look at the shift schedule, "You are all dim sum chefs, you don't need to be responsible for breakfast. Even the breakfast chefs in our cafeteria don't arrive until 4 o'clock. The helpers who need to prepare the ingredients may arrive earlier."

"Of course, if there are those of you who are very good at breakfast, such as steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, etc., you can consider coming a little earlier, such as 6 o'clock."

"I usually go to the cafeteria between 7 and 7:15 to make crab noodles. This time in the morning is not very busy. If you are willing to come over at 6 o'clock to make breakfast or your own dim sum, I will have more time to taste it and give you some suggestions."

"If it's during the noon or afternoon time period, I might not be that free. Tan Wei'an should have told you that I usually practice and study dim sum in the afternoon. Plus, I'm practicing my knife skills recently and can't be distracted. If you ask me to help look after things in the morning, I'll have more time."

What Qin Huai said was absolutely sincere advice.

He knew why the people from Zhiweiju came all the way here to work for free. They came all the way here with their own food and were so nice. They took the initiative to say they could be on duty at 3 o'clock and even took out the shift schedule. As Master Qin, he naturally had to show his attitude and tell them that he could give them what they wanted.

Hearing Qin Huai's words, Su Gan's ordinary face flashed with the light of a king. After thinking for a few seconds, he spoke directly: "I understand, Master Qin. I will find other people later to learn a little about the types of breakfasts sold in Yunzhong Canteen and re-set a schedule."

"Today, we all took a high-speed train and a plane, and we are all quite tired. We may not be able to start working right away. Can you spare some time this afternoon? I will ask everyone to make a few snacks that they are good at for you to taste. This way, you will have an idea of ​​our level, and it will be more convenient for you to tell us to do things in the future."

Qin Huai felt that what Su Gan said made sense. With his current level, he could tell the level of an ordinary apprentice at Zhiweiju by just tasting the snacks. It was indeed convenient.

"Okay, after you finish making snacks, you can go back and rest early. It's really tiring to travel all the way."

Su Gan nodded and began to instruct everyone at Zhiweiju to make their own specialty dim sum. All the apprentices were excited to hear that Qin Huai was free to try everyone's dim sum today. For these apprentices, it was a very lucky thing for the master chef to eat a bite of their dim sum. If he could give a comment or two, they would be so happy that they couldn't sleep at night.

Almost instantly, everyone rushed to the locker room to change clothes and switch to work mode.

Where Qin Huai couldn't see, Pei Xing showed an expression of near despair.

"Am I crazy or is this world crazy? Isn't Su Gan already a confirmed disciple of Master Zhou? Why is he leading the team?"

"This guy is simply inhuman. He joined Zhiweiju three years later than me, but he surpassed me in less than a year. Every morning when I go to the kitchen to work, he has almost finished steaming a basket of dim sum, and when I am ready to go home after get off work, he is still kneading dough at the kitchen counter."

"With just one look from Master Zhou, he knew what kind of tea Master Zhou wanted to drink. With just one frown from Master Zhou, he knew what was wrong with his dim sum. Even if Master Zhou glanced at a certain place, he could guess what Master Zhou was going to say the next second."

"Forget about Tan Weian coming. He spends about the same amount of time at Zhiweiju as I do. Why is Su Gan here too?"

"He makes better tea than I do!"

Li Hua looked at the desperate Pei Xing quietly and asked, "Why did you get off work so early every day before?"

Pei Xing: "? Is that the point?" Li Hua ignored him: "No wonder you are a relative of Master Pei, but no master would accept you as his apprentice."

Pei Xing: ...

Pei Xing now just wanted to spit blood on Li Hua's face, and then ask him at the top of his voice why he said such hurtful words at this time.

If he could have gotten away with it, he, a half-connected person, would not have run away from Zhiweiju so early.

"I think you worry too much." Li Hua said, "Even if Su Gan leads the team, he is Master Zhou's registered disciple and cannot stay with us for long. He will have to go back sooner or later."

"We are the formal employees, the ones who are paid by Master Qin. What are you worried about?"

Pei Xing suddenly realized and swallowed back the blood that was about to reach his throat.

"Then what should we do now?" Pei Xing had completely forgotten that he wanted to secretly take Li Hua away yesterday, but Li Hua also took him away and almost killed him.

"Didn't you hear the key words just now?" Li Hua asked, "They are responsible for breakfast."

"We are also responsible. What the store lacks the most right now is dim sum chefs. I will apply to Master Qin later. I will go to work at 5 o'clock every morning from now on."

"Master Qin loves hot breakfast. I have learned a lot about frying dough sticks recently."

Pei Xing: ???
No, buddy, aren't we formal employees? Why do we have to roll too?

Starting work at 6 o'clock is already early enough. Are you already working until 5 o'clock?
Realizing that Pei Xing was not really interested in joining, Li Hua reminded him calmly, "If ordinary apprentices of Zhiweiju fail to become disciples of the master, they will leave Zhiweiju sooner or later."

"Do you think if they have exchange experience and submit their resumes to Master Qin, will Master Qin accept them?"

Pei Xing: !!!!

SOS!!!

"I will also apply to Master Qin later!"

"Like you, I have to go to work at 5am starting tomorrow! To be honest, I know a little bit about breakfast, and I can make delicious steamed buns!"
.
On the other hand, Tan Weian did not participate in the dim sum making of the people in Zhiweiju. After all, Qin Huai knew very well what Tan Weian was good at.

Tan Weian was directly caught by Qin Huai to study crab roe sauce, and the method of research was to eat crab roe noodles one by one.

This afternoon, Zheng Siyuan fried 5 kinds of crab roe sauce that he and Qin Huai thought were pretty good. He mixed a portion of each crab roe sauce and asked Tan Weian to try them one by one. If he couldn't finish it, he could take a bite of each. If he could, he could pick the ones he liked and clean them up.

As a result, Tan Weian performed beyond his normal level and finished three full plates.

He ate voraciously, slurping, and his mouth was covered with crab sauce. He couldn't wipe it clean with a napkin, so he had to use a wet wipe. People who knew him came here to communicate with the people at Zhiweiju, while those who didn't thought he sneaked over to eat noodles.

"belch."

After eating three servings of crab roe noodles, Tan Weian burped loudly.

"How do you know I love crab roe noodles? Let me tell you, crab roe sauce is not only delicious when mixed with noodles, but also with rice. Next time you can try it with rice, it's really delicious. When I was a kid, I could eat a whole bowl of crab roe sauce with rice."

"When my grandfather was still alive, he would make a lot of crab paste every November. He made two kinds of crab paste. One kind could only be kept for two or three months and could not be eaten around the Chinese New Year."

"The other kind can be preserved until August of the following year, but usually that doesn't happen. I usually eat them all around April."

This is what Tan Weian, who is an expert at making crab roe noodles and rice, said.

Then Tan Weian saw Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan looking at him with sharp eyes.

Having studied the recipe for Four-Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls with the two of them, Tan Weian had no idea what they were thinking. He immediately rummaged through his treasure bag and recalled for dozens of seconds.

"I remember the recipe, but I don't remember it clearly. I'll look it up in the memo on my phone when I get home tonight and send it to you later."

Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan nodded in unison: "Okay."

Apart from anything else, Tan Wei'an has so many prescriptions in his treasure bag. When one day he is too poor to survive and wants to make a decision that goes against his ancestors, he can still sell his wife to make ends meet. But there is a high probability that he will be called a super prodigal son, a prodigal son who is even more outrageous than Huang Anyao.

Smacking his lips again, he savored the delicious crab roe noodles he had just eaten. Tan Weian had not yet recovered from the dizziness and asked in confusion, "Aren't you guys going to research the double crab buns? Why are you making crab roe noodles again?"

Qin Huai repeated to Tan Weian the twisted logic that he and Zheng Siyuan had discussed.

Tan Weian:?

Tan Wei'an looked at Zheng Siyuan in shock, his face full of "Dude, aren't you a graduate student like me? Can you accept this theory? Is this right? Is this reasonable? Is this normal?"

Zheng Siyuan, what's wrong with you?!

Zheng Siyuan looked at Tan Weian: "Think about the Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls."

"Oh, yes, you haven't tried the Four Joys Tangyuan that Qin Huai is making now, and you probably can't eat any more now."

"If you eat a bowl tomorrow morning, you'll know this is actually a good idea."

"I have made a lot of progress these past few days. How are your Four Joys Glutinous Rice Balls?"

Tan Wei’an: …

Stop scolding, stop scolding.
