Seeing that Li Hua seemed to really understand, Pei Xing was so envious that he could almost crush his teeth. He had to knead the dough even more diligently, hoping this time his kneading would show significant improvement so he could confidently present the dough to Master Qin for further guidance.
The two snack masters at Yunzhong Restaurant were really getting competitive.
An Youyou was quietly watching from the side, then continued cutting potatoes. She noticed Chen An calmly making breakfast the entire time and curiously asked, "Master Chen, why don’t you go ask Master Qin for advice?"
"What do I need to ask about? With my skills, just watching from the side, I can learn a lot." Chen An replied calmly, his face full of a "noodle rookie" expression.
"But Master Qin also taught me some knife skills this morning." An Youyou looked at the knife in her right hand, "I feel like I’m still not good at holding a knife, no matter how I hold it, it feels weird."
That’s because among the staff familiar to Qin Huai in the back kitchen, only you can be taught knife skills by him.
Everyone else has better knife skills than he does.
No, actually An Youyou’s knife skills are slightly better than Qin Huai’s.
Chen An glanced at Qin Huai, thinking that Qin Huai seemed to be a talent envied by the heavens. Such an amazing pastry chef but with such terrible knife skills, it’s a wonder how he managed it.
After giving pointers to Chen An, Qin Huai felt refreshed, as if regaining some of his former feeling of being Master Qin at Huang Ji, so he took out his phone to check for messages and found that everyone had replied.
Tan Wei’an: Whoa, impressive, is this the filling for Three Meat Buns? Awesome!
Zheng Siyuan: I booked a flight to Shan City for March 21st.
Zheng Siyuan: [Picture]
Zheng Siyuan: See you then.
Huang Shengli: Lovely meat filling, it seems like you’ve made great progress in making fillings during New Year’s, Little Qin [laughing] [laughing] [laughing]
Cao Guixiang: Not bad, keep it up, once your knife skills improve, this meat filling will look even better! [thumbs up] [thumbs up] [thumbs up]
Zheng Da replied the latest, with a message at 9:11.
Zheng Da: Little Qin, this coconut from Sanya is really good, should I send you ten boxes?
Zheng Da: The seafood is also nice, should I send you some? Freshly frozen for same-day delivery, very fresh.
Qin Huai: Thank you, Master Zheng!
Zheng Da: Little Qin, if you know any suitable girls over there, remember to introduce them to Si Yuan. The kid is a bit rigid, didn’t like any of the ten girls we introduced to him during the New Year.
Zheng Da: I don’t understand the aesthetics of you young people, but you’re about the same age as Si Yuan, maybe you know, introduce more girls if you do.
Qin Huai: Okay, Master Zheng, rest assured, if there’s a suitable one, I’ll be sure to introduce her to Zheng Siyuan!
Qin Huai took a sip of tea and suddenly felt something was missing.
"Youyou." Qin Huai put down his phone, "Are you free? Help me get a cup of handmade lemon tea from Ouyang’s store across the street."
"I’m free, I’ll go right now!" An Youyou put down the vegetable knife, washed her hands quickly, and went.
In Xiao Ou Handmade Lemon Tea Store, the machine was continuously spitting out delivery slips.
As soon as An Youyou entered the store, she heard non-stop: "You have a new order from some delivery service, please process it in time."
"You have a new order from some delivery service, please process it in time."
"Wow." An Youyou exclaimed, "Business is really good."
Ouyang was at the counter, mixing milk tea as if he were a chemist.
An Youyou stepped forward, "Brother Yang, Master Qin wants a cup of handmade lemon tea."
Upon finally getting an order for handmade lemon tea, the full-time worker who was slicing fruit got very excited and picked up the lemon to slice it.
Then he was stopped by Ouyang.
Ouyang said firmly, "For my buddy’s handmade lemon tea, I must personally make it for him!"
"Youyou, did Qin Huai mention what flavor he wants?"
"...No, are there different flavors for handmade lemon tea?"
"Of course, yesterday I developed a new coconut milk strawberry blueberry mango boba handmade lemon tea, just wait, I’ll make it now!"
This... is it really handmade lemon tea?
An Youyou looked at the machine still spitting out delivery orders, her face full of questions.
Customers nowadays have really strange tastes.
