Chapter 330: Chapter 202 Qianhua Gongdeng Bun_3

You can call it Qianhua Bun or Qianhua Gongdeng Bun, Fine Sand Qianhua Bun, Red Bean Paste Qianhua Bun, Milk Custard Qianhua Bun. Whatever name is given by people.

Just like Three Meat Buns can be Three Meat Buns, Premium Three Filling Buns, or Special Grade Three Filling Buns.

Dried Tangerine Peel, White Fungus, and Lotus Seed Soup can also be White Fungus Soup, Lotus Seed Soup, or Dried Tangerine Peel Tea.

From Qin Huai’s understanding of Zheng Da, Zheng Da actually doesn’t really like snacks with rolled shapes.

When he makes snacks, if he can avoid styling them, he would. The difficulty of Qianhua Bun is not as high as dumplings, so it’s worth learning, and Qin Huai is genuinely a bit worried that Zheng Da might not really be able to make Qianhua Gongdeng Bun.

As Qin Huai left the bathroom, he pondered how to first get Gong Liang to talk, then Zheng Da, and even considered whether Zheng Siyuan would be interested in Qianhua Bun and could be persuaded to practice Qianhua Gongdeng Bun instead of the big spoon stir-frying technique.

Qin Huai thought that Zheng Siyuan still had potential in Finger Skill.

He had both aesthetics and imagination; Zheng Siyuan’s claim of lacking them was just humility.

Every time Zheng Siyuan watched Qin Huai make guo’er, the expression of questioning life and apologizing to ancestors told Qin Huai that Zheng Siyuan was someone persistent about his aesthetic.

Returning to the kitchen, Qin Huai found that everyone had basically taken a break, except Huang Shengli and Huang Jia, who were still at the stove.

Qin Huai was surprised.

Could it be that today Huang Ji is rewarding the employees, and Huang Shengli and Huang Jia are teaming up to cook for the staff’s meal?

The new and old head chefs collaborating, that’s quite the reward!

While Qin Huai was still dazed, Dong Shi patted him on the back and whispered: "Master asked you to have lunch at table 18 with Mr. Gong."

"This... doesn’t seem right."

"Master already told Mr. Gong, you see they’ve already cooked two servings of the dish over there. You haven’t come back yet, and the Sizzling Fried Eel hasn’t been cooked. If you don’t go over, the dishes can’t be served on time."

Qin Huai:?

What a statement, making it seem like he’s the number one bully at Huang Ji Restaurant.

Gong Liang still holds some shares of Huang Ji; it sounds pitiful that a shareholder can’t have a meal.

"What’s really going on?" Qin Huai whispered, intuitively feeling there must be something amiss.

"Nothing much, we all know Master’s back is better now, and Mr. Gong will definitely insist on him making the Three Heads Banquet once he returns, and Master will surely make it for him."

"But hasn’t Master been arguing a lot with Uncle lately, thinking he’s improved and maybe just wants to make the Three Heads Banquet today and skip lunch."

"In the end, he didn’t even last five minutes before agreeing to make a meal for five people and the Three Heads Banquet."

"Master plans to make eight dishes, and if you don’t join in, he won’t be happy."

Qin Huai expressed that sometimes he really doesn’t understand the play between brothers who have known each other for decades.

"Then I’ll eat a bit more later," Qin Huai promised seriously.

Two minutes later, Qin Huai was seated at table 18.

This was the first time Qin Huai had eaten in the first-floor main hall of Huang Ji, usually eating in the kitchen, but today having a private meal in the main hall.

Everyone at the table was familiar.

Of course, there’s Gong Liang, and Qin Huai often sees his wife, Guo Mingzhu, too.

He’s met their daughter, Gong Baozhu, a few times. Sometimes when the mother and daughter were out shopping late, Guo Mingzhu would bring her daughter to Qin Huai’s place to see if they could snag some snacks.

During his most intense practice of Crab Dumplings, Qin Huai would continue practicing after work at home.

Qin Huai had also met the assistant, Xiao Liu, a few times, as he was the one who ordered all the smart home devices, and he was very professional.

However, Qin Huai rarely saw Gong Liang’s son, Gong Liye, who was said to be very busy with work, as Gong Liang planned to hand over the business to him in the next few years, leaving this Young Master exhausted.

Looking at Gong Liye’s dark circles, Qin Huai thought he seemed much more tired than assistant Xiao Liu.

Both Guo Mingzhu and Gong Baozhu knew Qin Huai’s craftsmanship. They enthusiastically poured him tea, even faster than Xiao Liu.

"Master Qin, during my trip to Beiping these past few days, I kept hearing news about how Huang Ji is bursting with business, and they said something about the snacks not being able to meet the demand. Didn’t I tell you last time, with your skills, it’s only a matter of time before you become famous, and now it’s come true," Guo Mingzhu said with a smile, "Did you see the knives Old Gong got for you? Honestly, he’s quite dull, going on a trip and bringing back knives as gifts for a friend. Even if you’re a chef, you can’t just give such things."

"Exactly, I also think that wasn’t the right gift. When mom and I were shopping, we found a set of bowls that are perfect for Master Qin to use. We’ve bought them and asked the store to mail them to you, but they won’t get here until tomorrow," agreed Gong Baozhu, "I have the pictures here for you to see."

Qin Huai took a look and thought, wow, a custom Master of Chinese Cuisine set.

Once Qin Luo arrives, he’ll have Qin Luo use this set to eat.

"This is truly too kind; as long as you both enjoy yourselves, that’s more than enough. Bringing gifts back for me makes me feel like I need to give something in return," Qin Huai said with a smile.

Under the fervent gaze of three pairs of eyes, Qin Huai spoke each word carefully, having edited them in his mind three times: "But I’m busy with work and have no time to travel, so it’s not feasible for me to buy souvenirs in return."

"How about this, did you eat any particularly delicious snacks during your trip to Beiping? Or are there any snacks you’d like to eat? Let me know and I’ll see if I can make them. If I can’t, then I’ll learn."

Initially, Qin Huai thought he would only say this later today, at home when Guo Mingzhu and Gong Liang came to visit in the evening, but here he was saying it at lunch.

Gong Baozhu eagerly opened her mouth, but before she could utter a sound, Guo Mingzhu subtly nudged her daughter with her elbow, signaling with her eyes that it wasn’t her turn to speak.

"You haven’t eaten nearly enough snacks, in the matter of eating snacks, your father is the one with the say in this family!"

Gong Baozhu instantly understood, thinking that indeed, the older generation was wiser, and quickly shut her mouth, pretending she just let out a very unrefined yawn.

Guo Mingzhu looked at Gong Liang.

For once, Gong Liang hesitated a bit.

He was genuinely hesitant.

This expression on Gong Liang’s face was rare; most of the time, his hesitation was feigned, a tactical hesitation.

"Actually, there have been two types of dim sum I’ve been really wanting to eat lately," Gong Liang thought and decided to speak up.

He wasn’t the type to pass up the chance to say something.

"Go ahead," Qin Huai was already prepared.

"Master Qin, do you know what Qianhua Bun is?"

"I’ve heard of it," Qin Huai nodded modestly.

"What about Qianhua Gongdeng Bun, have you heard of it, Master Qin?"

"That I haven’t, but if Mr. Gong truly wants to eat it, you can describe it to me, and I’ll try to learn."

"Dad, what is Qianhua Gongdeng Bun?" Gong Liye was puzzled.

When did his dad secretly eat such high-end-named dim sum?

"Is it just the Qianhua Gongdeng Bun? You mentioned wanting two types of snacks; what’s the other one?" Qin Huai strongly hinted.

"Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls. Those are more common, but the Four Happiness I want to eat is..."

"Excuse me, we’re serving you Sizzling Fried Eel, Wensi Tofu, Biluo Shrimp, braised pork with sauce, and Ten Treasures Vegetable. A few more dishes are on the way, please wait a moment," someone interrupted.

"Master Qin, Master Huang asked me to tell you that the knife set he bought for you is on the second shelf, third row in the warehouse."

"Oh, oh."

Gong Baozhu’s excited voice overshadowed the sizzling of the Sizzling Fried Eel: "Wow, Dad, you ordered so many dishes today! Doesn’t Uncle Huang really love that knife set? Why don’t we buy two more sets!"

Gong Liang didn’t pay attention to his daughter’s words because as she spoke, Qin Huai also started talking.

"Qianhua Gongdeng Bun and Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls, right? Got it. Don’t worry, Mr. Gong, I’ll start learning tomorrow and make sure to prepare dishes that satisfy you. I’ll need your help to taste them and tell me where I can improve."

"If it wasn’t for your help with the Crab Dumplings before, I wouldn’t have improved so quickly. In the future, if there’s any dim sum you want, let me know anytime. With your help, I sometimes feel like I have an additional mentor guiding me."

Gong Liang was genuinely moved.

Such a sincere pastry chef made Gong Liang feel guilty about sometimes playing tricks on him.

Though occasionally he thought maybe Qin Huai was playing at the same game, he could tell Qin Huai genuinely wanted to make snacks for him.

Later, he planned to dig out those few jars of tea he hadn’t been willing to share with Huang Shengli and bring them to Master Qin in the evening.

All of them!
