He is quite unforgiving when it comes to dishes that hold fond memories, such as Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns or Braised Pig's Head.
Huang Jia's Braised Pig's Head is actually quite good. Compared to many chefs of the same type on the market, it's even considered good, but Gong Liang thinks it's not good enough.
Zheng Siyuan's Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns skills are actually okay too, stable at C-level, occasionally reaching B- level, but Gong Liang also thinks that's not good enough.
To Gong Liang, if there's a better standard you can't reach, then it's not good enough.
Thus, Qin Huai is very clear: if he wants to make Crab Dumplings that satisfy Gong Liang, he must make them better than Zheng Da's.
And what level are Zheng Da's Crab Dumplings?
Qin Huai thinks they should be A-level.
Qin Huai knows very well he can't make A-level snacks, it's just impossible for him.
