The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 355 Losing Myself in the Praise

The Yunzhong Canteen is busy in the early morning.

Of course, it might not have been so busy before, but ever since Qin Huai returned to Guangdong Province for further studies, the mornings in the Yunzhong Canteen have become increasingly busy.

All the apprentices of Zhiweiju had their king-rolling attributes exploded, rolling up without any reason, purpose or sign.

At Zhiweiju, rolling up working hours is only the first step, but it is also the fastest step.

When Qin Huai was here, the apprentices at Zhiweiju had their nature somewhat suppressed because Qin Huai had repeatedly told everyone not to come to work overtime too early.

You should know that a normal Zhiweiju apprentice lives no more than 5 minutes away from the workplace. In a 24-hour day, except for 8 hours for sleeping, 1 hour for eating and 1 hour for resting, the rest of the time is spent working.

Working 14 hours a day, 365 days a year, is definitely not an exception at Zhiweiju. When many apprentices first arrived at Zhiweiju, they were afraid of not being able to keep up with the progress and being eliminated, and they didn't even have time to call their families. As a result, their families thought something had happened to their children, and they often traveled a long way to the workplace to check whether their children were still breathing.

After all, if you spend half an hour more on the phone every day, you will work half an hour less than others. If you work half an hour less every day, it will be 15 hours a month, and 182.5 hours a year.

How did the apprentices get eliminated? Why did the master chef choose others but not you? It's because you work 182.5 hours less per year than others.

Is that right, Pei Xing?

Maybe it's more than 182.5 hours. Eight hours of sleep a day is the normal sleep for humans. Some of Zhiweiju's energetic apprentices don't need to sleep for eight hours a day, such as Gu Li, who only needs six hours of sleep a day.

In Tan Wei'an's words, since everyone is busy during the day, he feels like his colleagues have become cellmates when it's time for lunch. Everyone is racing against time to make calls to their families and people they want to contact during the precious meal time, just like visiting a prisoner. He, who only works 10 hours a day, is simply out of place with everyone.

If he wasn't a shareholder, he would have wanted to eliminate himself.

For most of Zhiweiju apprentices, coming to Yunzhong Canteen for exchanges is like a vacation.

Living close to my workplace, my working hours have been greatly reduced, but my work efficiency has not been reduced. I used to wait a long time for the comments from the chef at Zhiweiju, but now I get them every day at Yunzhong Canteen.

Although the team leader Tan Weian is just a pendant and mascot, he is a very nice person and his skills are actually quite good. He is a very nice leader.

Not to mention the deputy team leader Su Gan, who is definitely the future disciple of Master Zhou. He has three super buffs: a talented monster, a king of rolls, and a person with connections. He is the leader of the younger generation of Zhiweiju, possesses strong leadership and planning skills, and is a man of action.

With such a team leader and deputy team leader, these elite apprentices would wake up laughing in their dreams.

Of course, for the apprentices, these are not what makes them happy. The happiest thing is that in Yunzhong Canteen, they are not the lowest level in the store, not helpers, not apprentices, not passers-by who have to do odd jobs most of the time and find time to learn the craft, they are serious dim sum chefs.

It’s not the little x who has no name, but the master xx whose surname or even name will be remembered by the customers.

For the guests of Yunzhong Canteen, although the cooking skills of these Zhiweiju apprentices are far inferior to those of Qin Huai and Zheng Siyuan, and most of their skills are not as good as those of Pei Xing and Li Hua (these two are graduates after all), they are much better than Chen An and Qin Congwen.

The most important thing is that they know a lot, they know a wide range of things, they know a large amount, and they respond to every request.

Just remember their names, flatter them at the right time, and then say that you want to eat this and that. It would be even better if they were also sold in the morning. If you can eat Master xx's breakfast in the morning, you will be very happy today. These novice dim sum chefs will enthusiastically work overtime to satisfy you.

What do the guests of Yunzhong Canteen do best?
Of course it is to give emotional value, which I have practiced on Zheng Siyuan before.

Therefore, during the period when Qin Huai was away, the apprentices of Zhiweiju started working earlier and earlier, making the breakfast in Yunzhong Canteen return to its peak again. It cannot be entirely blamed on these curlers.

The regular customers, led by Xu Tuqiang, Grandma Ding and Uncle Qian, have an unshirkable responsibility.

The above information was when Qin Huai arrived at the cafeteria at around 7 o'clock and found that the kitchen was full of people. The shelves were filled with various breakfasts from all over the world, from oil cakes, gluten cakes, pancakes, spicy soup, sesame balls, mutton stewed noodles, mixed noodles, fried noodles, hot dry noodles to wontons, shrimp dumplings, and rice rolls. He was shocked and thought that his cafeteria had been acquired by someone else and turned into a breakfast expo.

Su Qian knew that Qin Huai didn't like his employees to come to work early, so he took the initiative to take the responsibility and said that it was his management problem. The uncles and aunts saw that their beloved Master Su took the initiative to take the responsibility, and they couldn't bear it, so they came out and said: No! It's not Master Su's fault, it's all our fault!

This information was obtained after a series of confusing explanations and conversations.

Qin Huai got the information while eating dumplings.

After listening, Qin Huai didn't know what to say for a moment.

How should I put it? He felt that everyone had no problem, and the main problem was his. He forgot to remind Su Gan not to be deceived by the sweet words of the uncles and aunts, because they really loved to trick the dim sum chefs!

Zheng Siyuan had fallen for their tricks before, and of course, he still falls for them often now. Master Zheng still loses himself in the praises of the old men and women.

Qin Huai didn't know what to say so he chose not to say anything. He silently swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and asked, "Who made this steamed bun?"

An apprentice named Hu raised his hand actively: "I made it, Master Qin! It came out of the oven at 7:11, the temperature should be just right."

Qin Huai nodded slightly: "The temperature is quite suitable, and your skill in making the dumplings is also very good. At least this dumpling looks very beautiful, much more beautiful than the dumplings you made the next day."

Apprentice Hu almost gasped with excitement. He didn't expect Qin Huai to remember that he made steamed dumplings the next morning.

"But there's still a problem with the skin. I remember I told you the next day. The most important thing about the skin of the xiaolongbao is that it needs to be thin and tough. You only made it tough, but not very thin. If it's not thin enough, the taste will be problematic and it won't look that translucent. The meat filling you worked so hard to prepare, and the soup produced by properly controlling the heat during the steaming process will also seem mediocre."

"You still need to practice, especially kneading the dough."

"If you don't understand this, you can ask Pei Xing. He is pretty good at kneading dough."

"Okay, Master Qin!" Apprentice Hu's excited voice almost pierced the sky.

Qin Huai swallowed the last steamed dumpling and smacked his lips. While listening to the uncles and aunts telling the truth about the internal circulation during this period, Qin Huai ate three-stuffed buns, osmanthus cakes, shrimp dumplings, meat-filled pancakes and steamed dumplings. Of course, they were all small portions specially provided by Master Qin, so he just had to taste each one.

Every time Qin Huai tasted the food, the apprentices of Zhiweiju hated that Qin Huai and Qin Luo did not have the same appetite. If Qin Huai had Qin Luo's appetite, the apprentices of Zhiweiju would not only wake up from laughter in their dreams, but would actually wake up from laughter.

Qin Huai felt that he needed some steamed buns.

It was not the golden shredded siu mai made by Gu Li. Gu Li made dim sum very regularly and would not deliberately practice different types of dim sum. The dim sum he made every day was the same. Qin Huai had eaten golden shredded siu mai and Ruyi rolls every day before going to Guangdong Province, and he was a little tired of them.

Gu Li has received enough comments from Master Qin. With his rate of improvement, it would be no problem for Master Qin to not do any food tasting or review for more than half a month.

Qin Huai vaguely remembered that there was another person who liked to make steamed dumplings. Who was it?

Qin Huai squinted his eyes and thought for two seconds, then he remembered.

Pei Xing! Speaking of Pei Xing, Qin Huai didn't know what his hobby was. Before the apprentice from Zhiweiju came, Qin Huai had never realized that Pei Xing liked making siu mai so much. Pei Xing's specialty was crispy pastry, which basically overlapped with Su Qian's. As a result, since the apprentice from Zhiweiju came, Pei Xing made siu mai every morning, and the quantity was quite large, and the taste was average.

Moreover, this guy refused to admit that he made the steamed buns at the beginning, but later he denied it every day and made it every day. Qin Huai could guess who made the steamed buns that he couldn't finish trying every morning and had to force all of them on Ouyang.

Speaking of which, where is Pei Xing?
Why didn't I see anyone? According to the normal plot, Pei Xing should be silently gritting his teeth in the corner at this time. If it weren't for the fact that Qu Jing's hospital didn't have a dentistry department, Qin Huai would have wanted to give Pei Xing two examination cards and asked him to go to Qu Jing's hospital to check his back molars, so as not to break his teeth at such a young age.

Is Pei Xing taking a rest today?
Qin Huai stretched his neck to look into every corner of the kitchen, and saw Pei Xing standing by the shelf, away from everyone, silently looking for ingredients with a hint of death on his face.

If I were to use two words to describe Pei Xing's mental state these days, it would be: numb.

To describe it in one sentence: When you are tired, destroy it.

If Pei Xing was still thinking about using his graduate-level skills to crush the apprentices during the first few days after the apprentices arrived at Zhiweiju, he was already tired after Qin Huai went to Guangdong Province and the apprentices began to let themselves go.

I can’t roll it up. I can’t roll it up at all.

Haha, so funny. If they hadn't really opened the exam book, Pei Xing would have forgotten how he, a half-connected person, was eliminated from Zhiweiju.

Forget it, I won't fight anymore, just be happy. Fight, who can fight you, you obviously ran away when you couldn't fight at Zhiweiju, but who would have thought that you would fight again after changing to a new unit.

What? Is Yunzhong Canteen so good? Is it worth giving up the chance to roll at Zhiweiju and traveling all the way to Shanshi to roll?

Well, it's really good.

Woooooooooooooo.

What should I do? I can't win at all. This group of people is too abnormal, too much, too competitive. Is he still a human being? No wonder they have stayed in Zhiweiju for so many years. If you like to stay in Zhiweiju, stay in Zhiweiju. Is it easy for me to find a good job? Why do you come here to steal my job? !
Pei Xing has been in despair during this period. He has no other thoughts. He no longer expects to get a promotion, a salary increase, or to keep working hard and achieve greater success. It is already a luxury for him to defeat Li Hua or An Youyou.

I don't even bite my teeth.

I'm tired and can't bite anymore.

Pei Xing has been thinking about whether he should write a resignation report these days, so that when he is fired, he can throw in a resignation report to prove that it is not you who fired me, but I simply don't want to do this job.

Even when Qin Huai came back to the store on the first day, Pei Xing did not go around, but quietly did his own thing. Of course, he was not giving up on himself, he just didn't want Master Qin to see the faint sense of death on him and the siu mai he made today.

Yes, Pei Xing is still making siu mai.

"Pei Xing, is there any ingredient missing in the store? If so, tell Huang Xi and ask her to call the supplier." Qin Huai asked when he saw Pei Xing standing next to the shelf.

Pei Xing:!
Master Qin called me on his own initiative. He has me in his heart. I will not be fired. Hahahaha!

Pei Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, all sense of death disappeared, and he walked towards Qin Huai with full of energy and even a little excitement.

"No, no, nothing is missing." Pei Xing said quickly.

"Did you make steamed buns this morning? I haven't eaten the steamed buns you made for a long time. Let me try it and see if there is any improvement." Qin Huai said.

Pei Xing:!
Master Qin actually knew that I was the one who made the siu mai these days! He has been observing me silently, and he also wants to know if I have made any progress. He really cares about me!
Hahahaha, what apprentice of Zhiweiju, what Su Gan, what Li Hua, what An Youyou, what do you have to fight me!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
"It's done, it's done! It was steamed at 7:13, now is the time to eat it!" Pei Xing happily went to get the steamed buns and almost jumped up as he walked.

Li Hua, Chen An, and An Youyou: …

An Youyou was a little confused: "Hasn't Master Pei been in a bad mood these days? Just now I saw that he didn't look very well and thought he was sick. How come he is better all of a sudden?"

Chen An said to Li Hua: "We have been trying to coax her for several days but it is useless. Can Master Qin just say a few words and she will be fine?"

Li Hua said calmly: "That's it."

"I've already told you not to persuade me, just wait for Master Qin to come back."

While the three were whispering, Pei Xing had already appeared in front of Qin Huai with the steamed buns that had just come out of the pot. Qin Huai picked the smallest one and took a bite.

Well, very average.

The skin of the siomai was a little hard, but it was not a big problem, no problem. The cooking time was average, and I couldn't taste anything special. As for the filling... It was an old problem. Pei Xing always had this problem when making siomai. He had told Qin Huai several times but he still didn't change. Qin Huai really didn't understand why Pei Xing liked making siomai so much.

Qin Huai casually talked to Pei Xing about the things he could express clearly in words, and Pei Xing's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

Those who knew thought Qin Huai was finding fault with his steamed buns, while those who didn’t thought he was praising him for making such a good steamed bun.

Pei Xingxiong went back to review the situation with high spirits.

Master Qin also finished the morning snack tasting, and the Zhiweiju apprentices who were gathered around Qinhuai dispersed to do their own things.

Qin Huai also came to Zheng Siyuan's side and asked quietly: "When will Zang Liang come? Same as before, around 8 o'clock, almost 9 o'clock?"

"That's right." Zheng Siyuan was not sure. "If you come back today, he might be a little earlier, but he probably won't be able to get up."

"Why, do you have something urgent to do with him?"

Qin Huai chuckled: "Nothing urgent, I just came back from studying with Master Cao."

"If he doesn't come, I will be one less person. I can't wait to show you, Zang Liang and Tan Weian the results of my further studies."

"You may not believe this, but my knife skills and fire control have improved dramatically this time. I am so improved that I am afraid of it myself."

Zheng Siyuan:?
Knife skills and heat?
Aren’t you going there to learn how to thicken sauce?
