Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1124 - 543: Fresh Meat Mini Wontons

Qin Huai's soy sauce noodles brought a great shock to the patrons of Yunzhong Restaurant. Compared to ordinary buns, soy sauce noodles are the true definition of being filling and affordable, with the only downside being that they can't be eaten while walking like buns.

Packing up the soy sauce noodles to take to work ultimately loses a bit of its flavor.

This simple bowl of noodles, so simple it's slightly monotonous and chilly, is only suitable for finishing in Yunzhong Restaurant all at once, followed by drinking the entire bowl of noodle soup, and then burping loudly.

Considering this, Qin Huai very thoughtfully offered soy sauce noodles during lunchtime, directly causing Yunzhong Restaurant to be packed full throughout the lunch break. The patrons don't mind; if there's no seat, they'll stand and eat, and when they're tired of standing, they'll squat to eat.

If it weren't for Yunzhong Restaurant having the previous experience of the Four Happiness dumplings selling explosively, with enough soup bowls available, avoiding the situation of not having enough bowls in the kitchen, the patrons would have gladly gone into the kitchen to wash the bowls themselves after eating.

At one point, the office workers from nearby buildings felt embarrassed to chat with colleagues if they hadn't eaten a hot bowl of soy sauce noodles.

And Qin Huai was very happy to make soy sauce noodles.

It's not because soy sauce noodles are his soulmate too; Qin Huai still feels locust flower buns are his soulmate. Even while making the soy sauce noodles, he made quite a few locust flower buns, strictly speaking, the soy sauce noodles were made in the gaps between making the locust flower buns.

But this doesn't prevent Qin Huai from thinking soy sauce noodles are very good snacks.

They're simple and fast enough.

The dough for the hand-rolled noodles doesn't need to ferment; once kneaded, it can be rolled, and then cooked directly. The noodle soup for the soy sauce noodles doesn't need to be stewed with broth; it can be directly seasoned, and a large pot can be made by seasoning it, a pot so large Qin Luo could be thrown in to cook.

The cooking step can be handled by skilled helpers in Yunzhong Restaurant, not to mention that the noodles cook quickly, similar to small noodle shops with booming business often hitting a record of selling a thousand bowls of soup noodles a day.

After making soy sauce noodles all day, Qin Huai thoroughly brushed up on his skill level in yeast and seasoning. It was only at the end of the day when he opened the game panel and checked his skill level that he realized that both yeast and seasoning skills had increased significantly, and he only then realized that soy sauce noodles were actually the answer of his version.

But when deciding to make soy sauce noodles, he didn't consider this at all; he just thought Old Shi could eat something simple that he could make well in the morning.

Qin Huai felt that he discovered the true meaning of brushing up skill levels.

Don't overthink it; just follow his feelings, and they'll guide him to unwittingly making the right choices.

As for Wang Gen Sheng's side mission with potato dumplings...

Qin Huai expressed that Uncle Wang had indeed worked hard eating potato dumplings recently, and he appreciated Uncle Wang's efforts. He ate a lot of dumplings, wrote many food reviews, but the task had made no progress, and it was time to let Uncle Wang eat something better.

On the morning of the second day, Qin Huai decided to make fresh meat wontons.

It wasn't Zheng Siyuan's specialty, Zhou Sha Wonton and Paopao Dumpling, just very ordinary fresh meat wontons, sold in almost every breakfast shop, differing slightly, but with identical names and nearly similar flavors.

Originally, Qin Huai wanted to make shepherd's purse wontons; Zhao Rong loves shepherd's purse wontons. Previously, when the Qin Family had a breakfast shop in Qiu County, Zhao Rong, as the boss lady of the Qin Family Breakfast Shop, often went to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the neighboring community to eat their delicious shepherd's purse wontons for six Yuan a bowl.

The wontons weren't many, with only 12 per bowl, quite small in size, with little meat filling. The shepherd's purse was fresh, but the wonton skin was mediocre, and the fire control was hit-or-miss. Sometimes the boss chatted and overcooked them, and when fished out, the wonton skins were torn.

However, Zhao Rong loved eating them because the boss added a bit of appetizing pickled radish to the wonton filling, considered the boss's secret recipe.

Though not that unique, as Qin Huai guessed the recipe after eating it twice and easily replicated it at home. But back then, the Qin Family Breakfast Shop followed a thin profit and quick turnover business model, and Qin Huai was too busy making buns daily, with no time to mix wonton fillings. So even now, the shepherd's purse wontons from that breakfast shop are still a specialty in Qiu County.

When making fresh meat wontons, Qin Huai followed the logic of that breakfast shop's shepherd's purse wontons, adding a bit of diced pickled radish into the meat filling, and chopped a little bit of green leafy vegetables. Not much, just enough to tint the meat filling with a bit of green, and also making the fresh meat wontons not so purely fresh meat.

.

"Weren't you making soy sauce noodles yesterday? Why are you making wontons now?" Zhao Cheng'an said while eating wontons, his face filled with incomprehension, "You make great chicken soup noodles, and the soy sauce noodles are delicious — I can accept that. But why are these wontons also so delicious?"

While Zhao Cheng'an was puzzled, he kept swallowing one wonton after another.

It was truly swallowing.

Qin Huai felt Zhao Cheng'an had an almost vengeful resentment while eating the wontons, not chewing at all, purely swallowing, as if drinking the wonton whole with a slurp. Qin Huai really wanted to ask Zhao Cheng'an if he could truly taste the flavor, and understand what was added to the meat filling?

But Qin Huai held back, because he could tell the jealousy and envy in Zhao Cheng'an were somewhat fake, mostly performed. As a former famous genius from Zhiwei Restaurant, Zhao Cheng'an was actually quite proud inside. No matter how outstanding Qin Huai's talents were previously, in Zhao Cheng'an's view, he was just slightly more talented than himself, both being geniuses, there wasn't much of an essential difference.
