Chapter 348: Chapter 208: Mixed Fruit Filling Research Team_3

Huang Shengli confidently said, "Yes, I did. I helped my master prepare the ingredients. I was quite surprised back then, which left a deep impression on me. I think I even asked my master the same question, but it’s been so many years, I can’t quite remember his answer, though it must’ve been a reasonable one."

"So is Master Jing’s mixed fruit filling really as delicious as Mr. Gong and his wife say?" Qin Huai asked.

"Although Gong Liang is someone who often exaggerates, he does not blow things out of proportion when it comes to my master’s skills."

"When I was young, I used to think my master was omnipotent. He was proficient in both meat and pastry cooking, and a master of Huaiyang and Suzhou cuisine. Even though there are many dishes and snacks that he hardly made, even just once, I knew he was also good at other cuisines."

"Cantonese, Sichuan, Xiang, Shandong, and Hui cuisines—he actually knew them all. I truly believe my master was very skilled in Shandong cuisine; otherwise, he wouldn’t have mastered the big spoon stir-frying technique. But due to regional reasons, he only cooked Suzhou and Huaiyang cuisines in Gusu."

"The mixed fruit filling glutinous rice balls might just be one of the many snacks he was proficient in. He didn’t care much for it and only made it occasionally when he thought of it, but it’s definitely delicious."

"Xiao Qin, if you feel like you can’t replicate the mixed fruit filling from the recipe, don’t be discouraged. Even geniuses face insurmountable challenges."

"When your Master Zheng and I were young, we both thought we were exceptionally talented, but reality showed there were still many high mountains we couldn’t overcome."

"Sometimes, facing a bit of frustration is good; don’t stubbornly insist on something impossible."

"Your Master Zheng called the boss of Zhiwei Restaurant yesterday to help find Master Zhou and ask for external help. He gave the recipe to Master Zhou, who scolded him for bringing such inexplicable things to trouble him."

"Don’t be too hard on yourself, let your Master Zheng study it a few days at home."

Qin Huai understood. Huang Shengli meant for him not to be hard on himself, but to make it difficult for Zheng Da.

Qin Huai continued to stir-fry the meat.

The next day, while practicing the mixed fruit filling, Qin Huai suggested not practicing the outrageous recipe for now and trying Tan Wei’an’s reliable recipe instead.

Hearing this, Tan Wei’an was almost moved to tears, thinking Qin Huai had finally figured it out.

Zheng Siyuan was puzzled but complied.

Tan Wei’an’s recipe was indeed good. The mixed fruit filling turned out without any issues, tasting normal and delicious, perfect for making mooncakes.

The only drawback was that when wrapped in glutinous rice balls, it was a bit odd and needed adjustment.

Having finally tasted a normal-flavored mixed fruit filling glutinous rice ball, Tan Wei’an was moved to tears and excitedly said, "Now should we just focus on modifying this recipe?"

Great, the mixed fruit filling research team is finally doing real work!

This is how research should be!

As Qin Huai ate the acceptable mixed fruit filling glutinous rice ball, he said, "It seems like our skills are fine. The mixed fruit filling is delicious, and it can be delicious when wrapped in glutinous rice balls too."

"Si Yuan, let’s use this recipe as a reference and brainstorm Master Jing’s recipe based on its combination approach."

Zheng Siyuan nodded, "I think that works."

Tan Wei’an: ...

You guys are so %*@!/＆!

Tired, destroy it all, Tan Wei’an wanted to quit the team.

This is a burden he can hardly bear—could his dear junior apprentice Guli come and take this on for a couple of days?

Junior, it’s not that Senior’s shirking responsibility, it’s just that he’s trying to lose weight and quit sweets these days.
