The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 102 The Taste of Warmth

The tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seed soup in the pot is about to be served.

While Qin Huai was munching on the freshly made sesame cake, he turned his head and secretly glanced at the lucky diners who were waiting in the lobby on the first floor for the randomly dropped snacks.

There are quite a few people.

All-star lineup.

Xu Tuqiang, Uncle Wang, Uncle Cao, Grandma Ding, Ouyang, the owner of the convenience store across the street, a few uncles and aunts who never had a name from beginning to end, Chen Huihong, Luo...Luo Jun? Qu...Qu Jing?
Qin Huai suspected that he was dazzled and took another bite of the pancake.

Now his technique of baking sesame cakes has become very mature. Whether using an oven or a stove, the sesame cakes he bakes are always fragrant and chewy, and taste good even when cold.

You are not mistaken. It is Chen Huihong, Luo Jun and Qu Jing. Next to Luo Jun is the diligent and responsible Zhang Shumei. The three of them are chatting and seem to be having a pleasant chat.

What's the situation?
Isn't it less than 9: in the morning? How could Luo Jun and Qu Jing meet in the cafeteria at this time?
Shouldn't Luo Jun be sleeping at this time?

Shouldn't Qu Jing be at work?

What’s wrong with you? Those who are sleeping don’t sleep, those who are working don’t work, and there is a person who skips work standing next to him, and the person who skips work also takes his colleagues to skip work together.

Qin Huai really wanted to go over and ask, but he didn't have time because the tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seed soup was ready.

【D+ grade tangerine peel tea】

As a soup with tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seeds, this level is already very good.

Qin Huai opened the lid and reminded Chen An, who had already started making egg cakes, to pay attention to the time, as the tangerine peel tea would be available for sale in a few minutes, and then he walked straight out.

Having already seen Qin Huai imagine that he has a system that will issue side quests, Chen An, who was sitting in the void beside the pot, accepted the behavior of his boss suddenly running out to chat in the middle of work. He set the alarm on his mobile phone and continued to make egg cakes.

He did not forget to ask Qin Huai: "Master Qin, do you want me to boil the elm bark water for you?"

"If you have time, please help me cook a pot." Qin Huai had already walked out of the kitchen.

Qu Jing noticed Qin Huai coming at the first moment and greeted him wearing a mask: "Master Qin, good morning."

"Good morning." Qin Huai nodded to Qu Jing, "How come Dr. Qu has time to buy snacks this morning?"

"In order to improve the level of medical care and service quality, our hospital has opened a late-night clinic in our neurology department. I am on the late shift today. Dean Qu told me yesterday that it is not easy for you to run a canteen by yourself, and that you earn your money through hard work. You are willing to take time out of your work to volunteer at the welfare home, so he asked me to come to the canteen more often to take care of your business, Master Qin."

"So here I am."

It can be seen that Qu Jing really listens to Dean Qu and she even believes such outrageous nonsense.

"But I didn't expect Mr. Luo's current schedule to be so regular. He would go out to the cafeteria to eat breakfast at 9:12 in the morning. It was a pleasant surprise."

Luo Jun felt that Qu Jing was being sarcastic to him, and said unhappily: "It's because the recent TV series are too bad to watch. I went to bed early because there was nothing to watch at night."

None of the three exposed Luo Jun's lies.

"Where's the tangerine peel tea? It's not ready yet? Didn't the waiter in your cafeteria just now say that you started to make it early in the morning? It takes so long to make tangerine peel tea? Do you know how to make tangerine peel tea? Did you read the tutorial carefully?" Luo Jun threw the familiar six question marks at Qin Huai again.

Qin Huai understood.

Luo Jun came here specifically to drink tangerine peel tea, and even got up early to go out for breakfast.

The spirit of tea drinking is touching.

"It's already cooked. If you're in a hurry, I'll have Xiao Ansheng bring a bowl over and let it cool down."

Luo Jun agreed without saying anything. Qin Huai waved at An Youyou and asked her to serve a bowl and bring it over first.

Among the waiters and handymen in Yunzhong Canteen, the only two Qin Huai could call out by name were Huang Xi and An Youyou. Huang Xi was the store manager and the only one who had work content to communicate with Qin Huai, so he had more contact with her. As for An Youyou, he simply called her because her name was easier to remember.

The name in abb format is catchy, the characters are simple, and it is easy to remember.

A good name will make your boss remember you the first time.

An Youyou was very considerate and brought 4 bowls, one of which was for Qin Huai. When the other guests who were waiting saw that the tangerine peel tea on Qin Huai's table was served, they placed orders one after another.

An Youyou looked at Huang Xi at a loss. Huang Xi stepped forward and told everyone skillfully that the tangerine peel tea was very hot just out of the pot, and for everyone's dining safety they had to wait a while before the dish could be served.

As for why the Qinhuai table's food was served earlier, it was because Luo Jun strongly requested it.

Those who can wait in the cafeteria at this time are all loyal customers, more than half of whom are residents of Yunzhong Community, and naturally know Luo Jun's name.

Everyone expressed their understanding and condemned the man named Luo in their hearts for being a good-for-nothing who made things difficult for our dear Master Qin as soon as he went out.

Some diners from the outside community didn't understand why the two words "Luo Jun" were so convincing, and quietly asked the reason. The owner of the convenience store opposite came forward in anger and said that Luo Jun had given a bad review to their convenient tea eggs!

The onlookers were so shocked that they gasped.

Qin Huai, who also listened to some of the conversation, said: "...Did you really give a bad review to the tea eggs sold at the convenience store across the street?"

Qin Huai was shocked. How could a tea egg get a bad review? Not enough tea or not enough eggs?
"Their tea eggs were not cracked when they were cooked, and they are not flavorful at all. What's wrong with me giving a bad review?" Luo Jun looked at the convenience store owner who was no longer wearing a mask with disdain. "They charged me 5 cents for packaging for a tea egg. Isn't it right for me to give a bad review?"

After that, Luo Jun picked up the spoon and stirred the tangerine peel tea. Seeing the tangerine peel, white fungus, lotus seeds and wolfberries in the bowl being evenly stirred by the spoon along with the slightly sticky soup, he nodded with satisfaction. "It looks okay today." Luo Jun gave a good review.

How can it not be possible? The ingredients of Qinhuai’s tangerine peel tea today are exactly according to the cooking method of Liutao in the video tutorial.

Although it doesn't matter if there are more or less ingredients, and adding more Tremella to the tangerine peel, Tremella and lotus seed soup will not affect the main taste, Qin Huai is a person who will try his best to follow the contents of the tutorial if there is a standard video tutorial, and will only change the tutorial if there is a problem.

Liu Tao's tangerine peel tea is only grade D, with no room for decline or improvement. Qin Huai simply replicated it 1:1 according to the video tutorial.

Luo Jun scooped up a small spoonful, blew it gently for more than a minute patiently, then slowly put the spoon into his mouth, tasted it and swallowed it.

There was no comment, no expression. Luo Jun ate one bite at a time, calmly, naturally and slowly, just like drinking water every day.

Chen Huihong is an impatient person. She originally wanted to hear Luo Jun's comments, but since Luo Jun didn't comment, she just tried it herself.

Chen Huihong scooped up a full spoonful, blew on it quickly to cool it down, and then packed up half a spoonful in one mouthful.

"Hmm." Chen Huihong commented with the first syllable, "It tastes like Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup."

Chen Huihong swallowed it without chewing and licked her lips slightly, as if she was savoring the taste or trying hard to think of words.

"The taste... is pretty average, but the texture is great, and it's stewed very... silky? I don't know if I should describe it this way, but it tastes quite comfortable, a bit like drinking ginger tea in winter, it feels warm." Chen Huihong finished her review and continued to eat.

Qu Jing took off her mask and stirred the food slowly with a spoon for a few minutes. She waited until Chen Huihong's bowl was almost empty before she took the first bite.

At the same time, the waiters began to serve tangerine peel tea to the waiting diners.

The canteen usually doesn't have the service of delivering food to the table, but today is a special case. Everyone has been sitting in the canteen waiting for so long, and there are not many people. In addition, tangerine peel tea is quite expensive, 15 yuan for a small bowl, Zhao Rong thinks that the service quality of tangerine peel tea should be improved.

"It's just like what Sister Hong said. I feel warm after one sip, just like drinking ginger tea in winter, or like having a little sun in my stomach." Qu Jing's adjective is even more interesting. "It also has a taste of home, just like what I wrote in my composition, when I was a kid and came home from school in winter, my mother would prepare a cup of hot water or hot milk at home to warm me up."

After hearing what Qu Jing said, Qin Huai also took a bite.

The taste is definitely not amazing.

The D+ grade tangerine peel, tremella and lotus seed soup is only slightly better than the ordinary home-cooked tangerine peel, tremella and lotus seed soup. It may be considered good among the lotus seed soups sold on the market, but this dish is too homely and the taste is something that everyone can imagine.

Without absolute strength, it is difficult to create amazing flavors.

But the taste is very consistent with its buff.

It's warm, homely and comfortable.

Qin Huai even tasted the warmth and happiness that came from being adopted by Qin Congwen and his wife, and having his first meal with his family instead of with the kids from an orphanage.

For a moment, everyone in the lobby was quietly drinking tangerine peel tea.

An Youyou was so greedy watching from the side that she sighed with desire: "The tangerine peel tea made by Master Qin looks delicious."

"Youyou, if you want to drink, go get yourself a bowl. I'll report to Master Xiao Qin for you." Huang Xi said with a smile.

"Really? Sister Xi, thank you!" An Youyou trotted into the kitchen excitedly, and did not forget to ask Chen An, Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong in the kitchen if they wanted to drink, and she would serve it.

Three minutes later, An Youyou came out of the kitchen with two bowls of tangerine peel tea, one for her and one for Huang Xi.

"Sister Xi, Sister Rong is so nice. She has already prepared our portions. This is yours. I just drank a bowl in the kitchen and asked Sister Rong for another bowl." An Youyou said happily.

"Is it really that delicious?" Huang Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put down the tablet and picked up the small bowl. "Master Xiao Qin's cooking skills... hmmm."

it is more than words.

"It's delicious, super delicious! Although Chef Qin's salad tastes weird, the duck soup doesn't smell good, and the beef soup tastes average, but this tangerine peel tea is really delicious!"

"But Sister Xi, why did Master Xiao Qin call the Tangerine Peel, Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup Tangerine Peel Tea?"

Huang Xi said she didn't know and that employees should not interfere in the boss's affairs.

Huang Xi took a sip and suddenly remembered that he hadn't cooked soup for his daughter for a long time.

This tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seed soup is very good. You can cook a pot at home next time you have a day off.

You can also pack two portions before you get off work today and take them home for your husband and children to try.

On Qin Huai's side, Ouyang had already rushed to Qin Huai's table with a bowl in hand.

"Qin Huai, don't cook mutton soup this afternoon, just cook this tangerine peel...tea. I found that you people from Guangdong Province are more suitable for making herbal tea. You must have a talent in your blood. Your tangerine peel tea is much better than the white fungus and lotus seed soup that my mother cooks at home!"

The Qinhuai Four: ...

Why don't you listen to what you're saying?
Do you so easily accept the fact that this bowl of tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seed soup in front of you is tangerine peel tea? And you still say it is herbal tea.

You really, I cried to death.
