The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 331 Protagonist
Tan Weian's prescription shocked Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan, and also provided them with very rich ideas that were close to the correct answer.

That night, Qin Huai studied the prescription until after 1 a.m.

The price is getting up late the next morning.

正常情况下，秦淮应该在7点15分之前到达云中食堂，结果秦淮一觉睡到7点30分才醒，匆匆忙忙赶到云中食堂的时候已经是7点47分了。

Even Tan Weian arrived, although he had just changed his clothes and was preparing to knead the dough, he was still here.

Pei Xing was waiting in the cafeteria anxiously.

In order to attract these former colleagues from Zhiweiju, Pei Xing thought seriously last night and felt that ordinary steamed buns were not enough to impress Qin Huai, so he had to make extraordinary steamed buns. Pei Xing flipped through the few recipes he had and finally chose salted egg yolk steamed buns.

Pei Xing knew that his respected Master Qin was recently researching crab roe dim sum. Although salted egg yolk has nothing to do with crab roe, salted egg yolk is a substitute for crab roe in dim sum ingredients, and can be considered a distant relative of crab roe.

Master Qin must love it!
Pei Xing is confident about his salted egg yolk steamed buns today.

Even when he arrived at the kitchen and found that there were already five chefs from Zhiweiju, he was not afraid. So what if you can roll up your sleeves? Are you a formal employee of Yunzhong Canteen? Have you signed a contract and paid the five insurances and one housing fund?

Have you ever worked for Master Qin? Have you ever run errands for him? Have you ever cut vegetables for him? Have you ever made tea for him? Do you know what Master Qin likes to eat, when he likes to chat, when he likes to slack off, and what gossip he listens to?

You bunch of newcomers know nothing, what can you use to fight me?

Pei Xing timed the salted egg yolk steamed buns very well, at 7:20. At that time, Qin Huai had just arrived at the Yunzhong Canteen and changed his clothes. He was hungry and wanted to eat some breakfast. At this time, as long as he handed over the salted egg yolk steamed buns, he would definitely stand out from the crowd and let his respected Master Qin know who was the most caring employee.

Then Pei Xing waited with full confidence from 7:20 to 7:47, waiting to the point of doubting his life.

Seeing Qin Huai coming, Pei Xing almost shed tears, and hurriedly put the raw dough of salted egg yolk steamed buns into the steamer and started steaming.

He only needs to wait a few more minutes, and Pei Xing will be the most handsome guy in front of Master Qin again.

Pei Xing watched Qin Huai hurriedly walk into the cafeteria, flash into the locker room, change his clothes at the speed of light, and hurriedly run out and into the kitchen.

"Sorry, sorry, I stayed up too late reading the recipe last night, so I got up late today." Qin Huai apologized to Zheng Siyuan as soon as he entered the kitchen, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want chicken noodle soup?"

"I've eaten." Zheng Siyuan said concisely, "It doesn't matter if you don't eat today. The wontons are over there. You can cook them yourself if you want."

Tan Weian came up to him curiously and said, "Which recipe are you researching? Crab roe soup dumplings or crab roe steamed buns? I think crab roe soup dumplings are better. I love soup dumplings."

"Of course the most delicious dish is definitely crab roe rice. You two must try it at noon today. Rice is much more delicious than noodles. Really, I'm not lying to you. You can make crab roe sauce according to the recipe I give you. It's absolutely delicious when you use it to mix rice."

Su Qian, who was not far away, had already started making wontons quietly. After grabbing a handful of wontons, he asked Qin Huai, "Master Qin, how many bubble wontons and crepe wontons would you like?"

"One serving contains 6 pieces. Don't eat too much. You need seaweed, dried shrimp, and chopped green onions." Qin Huai said, looking towards Su Gan, and followed the direction of Su Gan to see the people from Zhiweiju behind him.

Everyone was working, and every kitchen counter had finished dim sum. Some dim sum looked like they had been out of the oven for a while and were not very hot, while others were clearly fresh out of the oven and were ready to be eaten.

Guli’s golden shredded steamed buns were obviously freshly cooked.

When he was at Huang Ji, Qin Huai liked to eat the golden shredded steamed buns made by Guli in the morning. There was no other reason, mainly because he couldn't find it anywhere else.

Gu Li's golden shredded siu mai was one of Master Tan's specialties during his lifetime, and it can be considered a unique secret recipe. Although Gu Li and Tan Weian are not good enough to make golden shredded siu mai as the original secret recipe should be, it is still good and can be eaten as breakfast.

Qin Huai, who hadn't drunk a sip of water since he got up, walked towards Guli unconsciously. Guli saw Qin Huai coming and hurriedly handed him the bowl and chopsticks.

The golden shredded steamed buns have a lot of fillings and a thin skin. They look very small and delicate. They are not much different from normal steamed buns, except that they have egg skin. But it is this extra egg skin that Qin Huai likes very much.

Gu Li and Tan Weian both told Qin Huai that the golden siu mai they made were far inferior to Master Tan's. It was a master's style to make ordinary, simple, and common dim sum taste extraordinary. It was obvious that these two apprentices had not received the true teachings of the master.

Qin Huai picked up a golden shredded steamed bun, swallowed it in one bite, chewed it, and swallowed it.

I still feel unsatisfied, so I eat another one.

"Yes, I found that Tan Weian did not lie to me. Your level has indeed improved a lot compared to before. Not only is the Ruyi roll better than before, but even the taste of the golden shredded steamed buns is better. Do you feel it yourself? Have you found the feeling I told you?" Qin Huai asked.

Gu Li smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have found the feeling you are talking about a little bit, but I am quite dull and I haven't completely..."

Qin Huai waved his hand to interrupt Gu Li, picked up the third golden shredded steamed bun and put it into his mouth, chewing it, and said vaguely: "It's already very good, at least now you understand what I mean by feeling."

"You're the only one who understands."

Qin Huai felt sad just thinking about it. Could this world be more friendly to masters like them who are not good at talking? Was he the only one who understood the feeling that Zheng Da was talking about?

Pei Xing, who was not far away, saw Qin Huai eating three golden shredded steamed buns in a row. He felt like the sky was falling and his teeth were about to break.

Master Qin ate the three golden shredded siomai made by Gu Li, so what about my salted egg yolk siomai? !

As a formal employee of Qin Huai, Pei Xing had some understanding of Qin Huai.

Qin Huai doesn't like to eat too many repetitive breakfasts in the morning.

Qin Huai doesn't like to eat both beef noodles and mutton noodles, both fresh meat steamed buns and glutinous rice steamed buns, both triangular sugar buns and red bean paste buns.

He and Gu Li have the same style!

Now Master Qin has eaten three whole golden shredded siu mai made by Gu Li, what about his salted egg yolk siu mai? His siu mai is so big!
The most important thing is that his siu mai are still steaming and it will take several minutes before they can be taken out of the pot. He has already seen several Zhiweiju apprentices holding snacks waiting for Qin Huai to taste them.

Pei Xing: (-)
.
"belch."

After finishing a round of tasting, no, commenting, Qin Huai burped lightly and started kneading the dough and making noodles.

Qin Huai hadn't had such a rich breakfast for a long time.

There are soup dumplings, rice rolls, three-fresh bean curd, barbecued pork buns, steamed dumplings, shrimp dumplings, water chestnut cakes, pan-fried buns, and golden shredded steamed buns. It can only be said that Zhiweiju is too comprehensive.

Although Zheng Siyuan didn't eat chicken noodle soup today, he still had to make crab roe noodles. The hungry morning runners in the lobby sat from 7 to 8 o'clock, not eating a single staple food and drinking soy milk, just to eat crab roe noodles.

Sometimes Qin Huai admires these uncles and aunts very much. Their tastes change completely according to what snacks Qin Huai wants to make at that time. Qin Huai loves to make three-diced buns, so they love to eat three-diced buns. Qin Huai specializes in making fermented glutinous rice steamed buns, so they love to eat fermented glutinous rice steamed buns. Qin Huai is obsessed with four-happiness dumplings, so their favorite is four-happiness dumplings. Now Qin Huai has started to make crab roe noodles in large quantities, and their new favorite has become crab roe noodles again.

Only Xu Tuqiang loved glutinous rice cake from beginning to end.

As the first batch of crab roe noodles went on sale at 8:15, the elderly men and women who had been waiting for a long time happily started to eat the crab roe noodles, along with some office workers who had arrived earlier.

Since Qin Huai arrived late today, it was almost the morning rush hour when the crab roe noodles started selling. In order not to take up precious dining seats, Ouyang chose to put himself in a difficult position and directly moved a small stool to sit in the back kitchen to eat.

Of course, it is the edge near the door.

The food was very rich. In addition to the crab roe noodles, there was also Qin Huai's unfinished water chestnut cake, barbecued pork buns, salted egg yolk steamed buns and other dishes, which Ouyang enjoyed very much.

"Fuck, Qin Huai, when did your cafeteria have such a rich breakfast? Will it be the same breakfast every day in the future?" Ouyang felt that he was so happy that he was living in a dream.

If I eat like this every morning, how long will it take me to train in the gym at night... Never mind, it doesn't matter, I'll just die of obesity!
I do!
Ouyang ate happily and asked as he ate: "But why are there so many salted egg yolk dumplings?"

Qin Huai: "...Maybe it's because...I didn't see it when I was tasting it? Actually, I don't know who made this snack. I feel it looks a bit like Pei Xing, but I asked Pei Xing just now and he said he didn't make snacks."

"Maybe it's what Luoluo had left over from breakfast."

Ouyang suddenly realized and continued to eat hard.

Not only did the hungry guests enjoy the crab roe noodles, but everyone in Zhiweiju also enjoyed a bowl of it. Qin Huai felt that since he had tasted everyone's cooking, everyone in Zhiweiju should also taste his cooking.

Crab roe noodles and chicken soup noodles are essentially hand-kneaded noodles, and you can also see how good Zheng Siyuan is at frying crab roe sauce, which is perfect for display.

The presentation was very successful, and the dim sum in the kitchen was almost smoking.

Master Qin drank two pots of tea by himself. He didn't know what one pot was, and he didn't know what the other pot was either. But the taste of both pots was to his liking.

In the morning, in addition to making a lot of four-happiness dumplings and mung bean cakes as usual, Qin Huai also made some snacks that he knew how to make but had not made for a long time, such as locust flower steamed buns, crab shell yellow, hibiscus cake and sugar triangles.

The owner of the convenience store opposite was so shocked that he forgot to wear a mask when he came to grab the candy triangles and bought them with his real name.

The addition of everyone from Zhiweiju has greatly enriched the variety and quantity of dim sum in Yunzhong Canteen.

It is impossible for ordinary apprentices to make any amazing snacks. Their level is between C and D. If they fail, they will be at D level, and if they are normal, they will be at C level. It is difficult for them to even reach B level.

To be precise, except for Su Gan's special dim sum which might be close to B-grade, other apprentices cannot make B-grade dim sum even if they are very good at it.

Compared with these ordinary apprentices, Tan Weian is indeed a very skilled person.

Qin Huai finally understood why everyone told him that there was a serious shortage of pastry chefs, and that the top chefs at Zhiweiju, such as Chef Zhou, were likely to be able to make S-grade pastries.

For ordinary chefs, their dim sum must be of Grade A, otherwise they cannot be called chefs. Qin Huai’s Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls can be consistently Grade A, so it is reasonable for everyone in Zhiweiju to treat Qin Huai as a chef. His level is that of a chef in Zhiweiju.

But it is a bit outrageous that it is difficult for a direct disciple like Tan Weian or a super-connected person and half-direct disciple like Su Gan to make B-grade dim sum.

The fault is indeed serious.

There is indeed a clear distinction between apprentice and master, an unbridgeable gap.

When he was at Huangji before, Qin Huai always assumed that the apprentices who came to communicate with Zhiweiju were relatively inexperienced, so he thought it was nothing. This time, a group of elite apprentices were sent over, but they were still a bit inexperienced, and Qin Huai was really a little shocked.

So much so that when practicing sword skills, Qin Huai couldn't help but complain to Cao Guixiang in a low voice.

Tan Weian eavesdropped for a while and asked Zheng Siyuan curiously, "Is this person taking the online class the mysterious retired chef who snatched Qin Huai away from your father?"

Zheng Siyuan: "...Where did you hear this rumor?"

"It's spread all over our Zhiweiju. Your dad has been asking around for good retired chefs in Qiu County. He's just short of checking their household registration. Last time, I heard Boss Su say that Qin Huai was snatched away by someone else and taken as an apprentice. Your dad was furious."

Zheng Siyuan: “…That’s not the case.”

Zheng Siyuan refuted the rumors online.

Tan Weian also nodded in agreement: "That's right, when did Qin Huai become your father's apprentice? I saw it clearly when I was at Huang Ji, Qin Huai was your uncle's apprentice."

Zheng Siyuan: ...Well said. Don’t say it again next time, especially don’t say it in front of my dad.

You don't want my dad to become mortal enemies with your Zhiweiju, do you?

The two were quietly gossiping. Qin Huai, who was originally taking an online class quietly and cutting radishes seriously, suddenly raised his voice, shouted twice at Zheng Siyuan and Tan Weian, and waved at them.

Tan Weian hurriedly ran towards Qin Huai, and took the opportunity to take a look at Qin Huai's mobile phone, and found that the online class had ended.

"I've finished chopping the radishes." Qin Huai said cheerfully, "I just had a chat with Master Cao, but I didn't tell him about your great-grandfather's recipe. Master Cao gave me some suggestions on researching crab roe sauce, which I think is quite useful. Why don't we get started now?"

Qin Huai looked at Tan Weian.

Tan Wei'an was a little confused: "Start what?"

Why do we have to keep an eye on him at the beginning? Isn't he a small part of the group?

"Start making your great-grandfather's recipe. That's your recipe and you must know it better than the two of us. Of course, you should start first today." Qin Huai said.

Tan Weian:!

Tan Weian's excited voice almost broke through the sky.

"What?! I'm the protagonist today!"

“Hahahahaha, that’s great!”
