Moreover, this is these diners not only like to eat such dishes, but also like to watch the process of concocting goose paws, listening to the screams of the goose, the guests are staggered on the side, applauding, Rong Daquan feels uncomfortable in his heart, but he can't say what's wrong, these geese were originally raised for people to eat, and he didn't do less to make goose meat in the kitchen, but he still felt unbearable to see the live geese suffering like this.

Ning Xi didn't know how to persuade him, no matter what world he was in, this kind of cruel practice was all in existence, and such a live roasted goose paw could be said to be delicious, but some methods were simply unnecessary, such as calling a donkey alive, it was really a meat cut on a live donkey, which was called fresh, but in fact it was just to satisfy the dark psychology of diners.

As a chef, Ning Xi herself would never make such a dish, but someone will naturally cook it if someone eats it, and she has no choice: "If Brother Rong really doesn't want to do such a thing, or let's go to Boss Cai and say it, don't do it!" ”

Rong Daquan shook his head: "It's still not necessary, it won't be long before it will be a month, and if I leave now, I won't be able to get the remaining half of the silver." ”

"Brother Rong, it's really hard for you, so you have to suffer such a grievance."

"Ningxi, where are you talking about, let's learn this craft, isn't it just to have food everywhere!"

The two of them just talked, Rong Daquan continued to go back to Tongxing upstairs to work on the second day, and on this day Boss Cai specially summoned the chef of the small kitchen: "Two days later, our restaurant is going to entertain a distinguished guest, but this distinguished guest has a habit of eating, that is, he likes to eat living things, you all help me think about it, and see what special dishes there are." ”

The chefs were puzzled: "It's not difficult to find a living thing, but it's not so easy to make a living thing delicious." ”

"Who would have thought that a dish that would satisfy your guests would be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

The cooks became excited all of a sudden, knowing that although their wages were a little higher than those of the cooks in the big kitchen outside, it was only twenty-five taels a month, and fifty taels was two months' wages, which naturally made them excited, so they discussed it one after another. I just talked about it for a long time, and in the end, I didn't discuss the reason.

Although Rong Daquan was a little moved by these fifty taels, he gave up this idea when he thought of the cruelty and disgusting of eating living creatures raw.

It was almost noon when a guest came to the door, and the kitchen began to get busy, and Rong Daquan quickly put the matter aside.

I didn't expect to be busy all day, but when I came home from work in the evening, I suddenly heard a familiar "squeak" sound from the storage room next to the kitchen, Rong Daquan poked his head into it curiously to take a look, there was an iron cage inside, a little monkey in the cage looked quite familiar, the monkey saw him, and raised his front paws as if he was asking him for help.

Rong Daquan took a closer look, and the monkey's wrist was tied with a red silk thread, which turned out to be the "squeak" of the old man playing the monkey next door.

"Squeak, is that you?" Rong Daquan asked.

The monkey grabbed the cage with its two front paws and nodded desperately.

Rong Daquan walked over, the cage was locked with an iron lock, and he couldn't open it: "Why are you here?" ”

Suddenly, I heard someone outside asking, "Who's inside?" ”

Rong Daquan returned: "It's me, I saw a little monkey here, come in and have a look." ”

The man said, "Be careful, don't let it run away." ”

Rong Daquan asked: "Where did this monkey come from, and what is it doing here?" ”

The man smiled: "I don't know where the wild monkey came from, ran into the kitchen to steal something to eat, was caught by our people, originally just for fun, and then Master Li told the boss a way to eat recorded in an ancient book, and the boss let this monkey stay, two days later to entertain distinguished guests." ”

Rong Daquan was shocked, "Squeak" was about to be eaten?

"And what are you going to do?" Rong Daquan asked.

The man beckoned to him: "Come out and say, I heard that the monkeys are all thieves, don't let it listen." ”

Rong Daquan had no choice but to walk out with him, "squeak" shaking the cage behind him and screaming desperately, which made Rong Daquan feel distressed for a while, but he could only pretend not to hear.

The man mysteriously whispered in Rong Daquan's ear: "Eat monkey brains alive!" Dig a hole in the tabletop, just let the monkey's head drill out, and then jam the neck, the monkey can't move, take a hammer, 'quack', the brain will knock down, the white flower monkey brain, still steaming, just take a spoon and mix it to eat, I heard that this thing is special to replenish the brain. ”

Rong Daquan heard that the hairs on his whole body stood up, and when he heard the white monkey brain, he almost didn't vomit: "Isn't it, this can also be eaten?" ”

"Why can't you eat it, isn't that a good bite for your guests!"

Before leaving, he specially instructed Rong Daquan: "This monkey has a very big head, and there must be a lot of brains in it, and the boss specially told it not to let it run away." You have to be careful, too. ”

Rong Daquan nodded and said, "I know." ”

When the man was far away, Rong Daquan quietly sneaked into the storage room and whispered to the little monkey: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely think of saving you in the next two days." ”

"Squeak" nodded desperately, and tears seeped out of those clever big eyes, and it hurt to see Rong Daquan's heart!

Hurried back to the inn, and found that Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang were not there, and waited for almost two hours, and it was almost midnight before the two came back, Rong Daquan couldn't help but blame a little: "What are the two girls doing running out in the middle of the night?" ”

Meng Shuangshuang said anxiously: "The little monkey is gone, we all helped to find it, but we can't find it all night, the old man said that 'Squeak' is a little naughty, but he will never go home for the night, if he doesn't come back for so long, something must have happened." "I was about to cry when I said that.

Rong Daquan said: "No need to look for it, I know where it is." ”

Meng Shuangshuang grabbed his arm: "Where is it?" Say it! ”

Rong Daquan told everyone about today's things in the restaurant, which made everyone angry, and the old man who played the monkey was even more frightened to take two steps back, and the old man burst into tears: "My squeak!" "The little monkey that has been raised since childhood, just like his own biological child, is actually going to be eaten alive in such a cruel way, how can he not be shocked.

Ning Xi said: "Don't worry, uncle, we will go and ask Squeak back tomorrow." ”

The old man shook his head: "How can it be so easy." "These things they do, known as the lower ninth rate, are very looked down upon, rashly come to the door to ask for monkeys, I am afraid that if the monkeys can't get it, they will be beaten and driven out in vain!

Meng Shuangshuang said: "They just want monkeys to cook, let's go buy a monkey and change the squeak back?" ”

Rong Daquan said: "Monkeys can't be eaten, and ordinary people can't keep them for fun, where can I buy them?" In addition, the monkeys all live in the mountains, and they are clever by nature, and it may not be so easy to catch one alive. ”

Ning Xi muttered: "Boss Cai just wants a living creature that can be used in the dish, if I can come up with another recipe to exchange with him, maybe I can exchange the squeak." ”

Meng Shuangshuang said: "Such a person, if you take the recipe to exchange it with him, wouldn't it be cheaper for him." Since hearing that Boss Cai wanted to entertain guests with squeaky cooking, Meng Shuangshuang no longer had a good impression of him.

Ning Xi said with a smile: "Even if you say this recipe, you will definitely not dare to eat it, and it is useless to keep it, so just take it out and disgust them!" ”

Meng Shuangshuang was curious: "What is that?" ”

Ning Xi was not in a hurry to say anything, but only asked the others: "I wonder if you can find the little mouse that has just come out of the nest and has not grown hair?" ”

This is not difficult, to put it mildly, in the homes of poor people, who does not have a nest or two of mice? Although it is not intentionally raised, the rat has an extremely strong reproductive ability, and it is simply inexhaustible.

Soon, someone found a nest of five little mice and gave them to Ning Xi.

Looking at the five red, soft and wriggling little things in the broken cotton wool, Meng Shuangshuang had goosebumps all over his body: "Ningxi, what do you want such a disgusting thing for!" ”

"Use it tomorrow to exchange it for a squeak!" Ning Xi said, took a plate with half a plate of honey, and then asked people to put the little mouse that had not opened their eyes into it, and as soon as the little mouse was dipped in honey, it rolled over and rolled in it, licking and eating happily.

Meng Shuangshuang covered his eyes and said, "Take it away, don't put it in my room." ”

Ning Xi actually felt disgusted, so he asked Rong Daquan to take him to his room: "You bring it here tomorrow, and I'll go with you to Boss Cai." ”

On the second day, the three of them arrived at Tongxing Building together with the old man who played the monkey, Meng Shuangshuang was anxious to see the little monkey, but the kitchen was heavy, and the idle people couldn't get in at all, so they had to wait outside, and let people go inside to ask Boss Cai to come out.

I saw two young men come out of the kitchen, and one of them complained to the other as he walked: "Where did the wild monkey come from, so fierce, but he went to feed me, and scratched my sleeve, you see here, scratched a red mark for me." ”

Another said: "Look at you five big and three rough, and you are bullied by a monkey, you are embarrassed to say." ”

"Hmph, a little monkey still wants to fight with me, I will reward it with two feet, if it is not for the boss to indicate that it should be taken care of, see if it can stay alive."

"You can also take it easy, don't cripple Ming'er and show it to the boss."

"Don't worry, my subordinates are measured and will not leave external injuries."

was so angry that Meng Shuangshuang jumped up: "Hey, you are not allowed to bully the little monkey!" ”
