Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 650 - 337: Unexpected Good Fortune
The culinary industry is like this, even though many things are already transparent, there are still many exclusive things that are not easily shared.
Qin Huai understands very well that Cao Guixiang teaching him without any reservations might be because she sees talent and is delighted, or maybe because Cao Guixiang herself has a good personality and is willing to teach. But it is Cao Guixiang who is willing to teach, Qin Huai is just lucky to be the student who has learned all this. The things taught by the teacher, he can learn, but he can’t teach others without the teacher’s permission.
There should be a basic social distance and sense between people; just because someone is good to you doesn’t mean everything should be taken for granted. Qin Huai learned this from a young age at the orphanage.
This is the first time that Cao Guixiang has proactively suggested that Qin Huai teach others what she taught him, without her being involved, which is like giving a huge favor to Qin Huai.
"Master Cao, you..." Qin Huai didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Seeing Qin Huai’s expression, Cao Guixiang knew he understood her meaning and explained with a smile, "Xiao Tan is willing to come all the way to help you just because of a call, even though you’ve only just met. No matter what he wants to learn, he’s a good child, a friend worth making."
"Chefs need good friends in the same industry."
"Even if in the end Xiao Tan might not be able to help you much, but he shouldn’t come all the way for nothing, he should learn something to take back, otherwise he might feel it’s a loss, right?"
"My thickening technique is not that easy to learn. Whether Xiao Tan can learn it depends on his ability, and yours too."
Qin Huai smiled, "Don’t worry, Master Cao."
"I have a special feeling for thickening, I will definitely work hard to learn it."
.
The next day, when Qin Huai arrived at the canteen in the morning, Zang Liang hadn’t arrived for work yet. This was normal; he was a meat chef, and meat chefs didn’t start work as early as pastry chefs.
By the time Zang Liang arrived at Yunzhong Restaurant, the chicken soup noodles and crab yellow noodles were gone, and the dishes the Taste chefs made for Qin Huai to taste were also finished off by Ouyang.
However, Zang Liang wasn’t picky; he ate two buns made by Chen An as breakfast.
"Are we continuing to study the Crab Yellow Sauce today? I’ll handle the thickening." Zang Liang asked while munching on a bun, "Yesterday, I was quite inspired by Qin Huai’s thickening move, studied it for a long time at home, and I feel that today my thickening will definitely be better than yesterday. Maybe I’ll be able to find the feeling you’re talking about."
Tan Wei’an, a devotee of the feeling school, who never found the feeling, said coldly, "You should first find the feeling of Crab Yellow Sauce. Do you even know what kind of Crab Yellow Sauce you want to thicken?"
Zang Liang responded with a stern look at his former friend, raising his voice, "Isn’t that what we’re looking for? I’m not like you, who loves Crab Yellow Noodles so much that you’re almost marinated in Crab Yellow Sauce. Can I compare with you?"
Qin Huai laughed and mediated, saying that these things weren’t important. He briefly mentioned that he would leave Yunzhong Restaurant the day after tomorrow to go back home for further study in thickening.
He emphasized that if this further study succeeds, he would return like lightning to teach Zang Liang the latest exclusive thickening techniques, and then they would study thickening together and make progress together.
Zang Liang: °˖✧︎◝︎(⁰▿︎⁰)◜︎✧︎˖°
What a great opportunity!
To come all this way to help and also get to learn the legendary exclusive technique!
Master, why didn’t you tell me that going out for exchange could have such benefits? If you had told me earlier, I would have gone for exchange a long time ago; didn’t you go abroad a few years ago too?
Qin Huai, adhering to the principle of sharing good things with friends, told Tan Wei’an and Zheng Siyuan that if they were interested, he could also teach them. He had already spoken to Master Cao, who didn’t mind him teaching a couple more good friends.
Zheng Siyuan wasn’t very interested in the exclusive thickening technique, stating that he hadn’t made much progress with the big spoon stir-frying yet, and would rather spend time practicing the big spoon stir-frying than thickening, as thickening isn’t really used much in pastry, and his current level is sufficient.
Tan Wei’an also politely refused, saying he couldn’t learn it.
Laughable, he’s average at normal thickening, there’s no way he could learn the exclusive technique.
In the end, only Zang Liang felt like a stroke of luck had come to him.
"Going out for exchange is really great!" Zang Liang exclaimed.
Tan Wei’an watched his buddy who was getting more than his share, and at that moment, didn’t know what to say, just wanted to clench his molars.
At that instant, he finally understood why Pei Xing gritted his molars every day; he really wanted to do the same.
Tan Wei’an: T^T
