93. Croton

I saw Chen Dexiang nodding to the judge, and flatteringly led the person into the private room on the second floor, and did not notice the existence of Ning Xi and the others.

Seeing that Ning Xi was distracted, Meng Shuangshuang asked strangely: "Ning Xi, what's wrong with you, what are you looking at?" ”

Ning Xi came back to his senses: "The two people who just walked over, one is the chef who participated in the chef competition, and the other is the judge of the competition. ”

Meng Shuangshuang slapped the table: "I said, why is that person's pug so disgusting, it turns out that he wants to pat himself and go through the back door!" No, we can't let him succeed, otherwise Brother Rong will suffer more! ”

Ning Xi also felt that such a fact was too infuriating: "That's right. ”

"Shall we denounce them, then?" Meng Shuangshuang mentions yì.

Ning Xi thought for a while and shook his head: "No, we have no evidence, and the two of them can't explain anything if they eat together, in case they don't admit it, we can't do anything." ”

"What then? Do you just let them do whatever they want? ”

Ning Xi smiled and waved his hand at her: "If you want to punish them, there are still many ways!" ”

"What a way, don't sell it, say it quickly!"

"When we came into the restaurant just now, there was a medicinal herb shop across the street, did you see it?"

"See, what's wrong?"

Ning Xi beckoned to Meng Shuangshuang and asked her to come over with her ear: "You go buy some croton flour and sprinkle it in their dishes." ”

Meng Shuangshuang's eyes lit up, and he pushed Ning Xi hard: "Okay, you Ning Xi, I look at you seriously on weekdays, but it turns out that you also have a bad stomach in your bones." ”

"How's it going?"

"Yes, of course! You wait, I'll buy it. ”

Croton is a laxative, in order to prevent being bought to do bad things, under normal circumstances, there is no doctor's prescription, and the pharmacy will not sell it to people casually, but this is not difficult for our Meng Shuangshuang girl.

I saw that she messed up her hair and clothes a little, pretended to be anxious, and hurriedly ran into the pharmacy: "Shopkeeper! ”

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy hurriedly greeted him: "What's wrong with the girl?" But in a hurry to grab the medicine? ”

Meng Shuangshuang said anxiously: "My sow has not been pulled for five days and five nights, her belly is swollen like a stone, and now she is lying down without eating or drinking, and she is about to die!" ”

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy heard that there was nothing wrong with him, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Girl, you have to ask a veterinarian for this matter!" ”

Meng Shuangshuang was crying and said, "Aren't you a pharmacy here?" Please, shopkeeper, help me think of a way! "Her delicate and weak expression can't even stand Ning Xi, let alone the pharmacy shopkeeper, a man in his thirties.

"Okay, why don't you buy some croton and try it back?" The shopkeeper is only concerned about coaxing women at this time, where do you remember any principles.

"But it can't eat anymore, can it eat chin beans?"

"Well, we'll help you grind it into powder, and you can just pour it with water."

"Then you have to hurry." Meng Shuangshuang put back his tears.

"No problem." The shopkeeper of the pharmacy hurriedly asked the guy to work, and the guy was quick with his hands and feet, and he prepared a large bag of croton powder in a few moments.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy handed it to Meng Shuangshuang: "Girl, take it, don't put too much at a time, if it doesn't work, add more." ”

"Okay, I got it!" Meng Shuangshuang smiled sweetly, "Thank you shopkeeper!" ”

The shopkeeper and the guy of the pharmacy were dazzled by her smile, and after a while, the guy said suspiciously: "The shopkeeper, that girl just now, seems to have entered the restaurant opposite?" ”

"What?" The shopkeeper panicked, ran out of the door of the pharmacy and looked left and right, "No one else saw her come in, right?" ”

The guy hesitated: "Probably not!" ”

"Remember, no matter who asks, don't admit that someone has bought croton from us, remember?"

The guy nodded repeatedly: "Remembered." ”

Meng Shuangshuang rushed back to the restaurant, because the fish here are all freshly caught and killed, so when she came back, the guy was serving food to the private room where Chen Dexiang was, and at this time a pot of fish soup came up, Meng Shuangshuang pretended to be casual and walked over, and when he walked in front of the guy, he suddenly screamed, pointed to the floor behind the guy and said, "Ah, there, what's there?" ”

The guy naturally looked back, and Meng Shuangshuang took advantage of his turn to quickly sprinkle a handful of croton powder into the soup, patted his chest and said, "I'm scared to death, it turned out that I read it wrong." ”

The guy didn't say anything, and went around her to deliver food.

Meng Shuangshuang returned to their position by the window and winked at Ning Xi: "Let's wait and watch the show!" ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chen Dexiang to rush out with his stomach covered: "Where is the toilet, where is the toilet?" ”

A moment later, the judges rushed out.

Meng Shuangshuang laughed, and Ning Xi said, "Hurry up and dispose of that soup, so as not to disturb the store." ”

Meng Shuangshuang took advantage of no one's attention, quietly ran into the private room, poured the fish soup directly out of the window, and then put the empty soup pot back on the table as it was, and came out to greet Ning Xi: "Let's go!" ”

The two laughed as they walked, Ning Xi had never done anything bad in his life, and for the first time he found that doing bad things could make people so happy.

Meng Shuangshuang took out the remaining bag of croton noodles: "There are so many left, hmph, that villain, it's cheap for him to eat only once, I really want him to pull for ten days and eight days, it's best not to participate in the competition directly." ”

Ning Xi suddenly grabbed her hand: "Why don't we follow him and see where he lives?" ”

Meng Shuangshuang was surprised: "Aren't you really addicted to playing?" But it's a good idea, I like it. ”

In the next few days, Chen Dexiang was unlucky, and finally stopped diarrhea in the restaurant, and did not get any benefit from arguing with the restaurant for a long time, but offended the judges of the competition, returned to the inn where he lived, and called a bowl of white porridge to eat, but he didn't expect to pull it all night after eating.

In the end, they could only find a doctor to see, Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang were afraid that they would toss people to death if they tossed too hard, so they let him drink the medicine in a good manner, and then continued to secretly lay croton in his diet, so that his problem was good and bad, lingering on the sickbed for more than ten days, not to mention going to please the judges again, and he didn't even have time to prepare the dishes he was going to make.

Ning Xi also became a lot happier in the process of secretly taking drugs every day, and Chen Dexiang was simply a good medicine for her to pass the time and dispel depression.

After the two of them went crazy, they would remember to care about Rong Daquan when they went back, in the first two days, Rong Daquan had been frowning, and Ning Xi couldn't help but want to tell him how to make this dish several times, but he didn't listen, he had to think about it, and Ning Xi ignored him.

Unexpectedly, after going back one day, Rong Daquan happily told SΓΉ Ningxi: "I finally thought of what to make this dish with." ”

"Congratulations, Brother Rong, I knew you would definitely do it." Ningxi Road.

Rong Daquan was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's mainly because of Ningxi you, do you remember, when you went to Quanjufu to help us cook, you made an old clam pearl." ”

Ning Xi nodded: "That's right!" ”

"I just thought of the dish you made with bird's eggs as pearls, and then I thought of using pigeon eggs to make my dish."

"Being able to understand it is also your ability, Brother Rong, don't care about this, do it well, not only do it have to be done, but the most important thing is to be delicious."

Rong Daquan nodded heavily: "I know, I'm going to practice." "I plunged into the kitchen again and didn't come out.

Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang laughed about Chen Dexiang's ugly appearance today, and discussed tomorrow's tactics for another round, and then went to sleep satisfied.

Soon it was time for the final of the cooking competition.

Ning Xi finally didn't have to wear an apron on stage this time, she and Meng Shuangshuang were dressed up beautifully, and they easily went to watch other people's games, in fact, this feeling was also very comfortable.

As the relatives and friends of the participating chefs, they have a good position next to the judges, this position can clearly see the whole process of cooking by all the participating chefs, and even when the chef finishes and presents it to the judges, they can also feel the color and aroma of the finished product up close, except that they can't taste it in person, it is really excellent.

Jun Qianyu also attended the competition today, wearing a dark narrow-sleeved python robe, embroidered gold thread auspicious clouds at the cuffs, black hair tied up and fixed with a gilt crown, the whole person is handsome and innate noble, sitting in the middle of the judges' seat.

When Ning Xi sat down, he seemed to feel him glance over here, but his gaze didn't linger long, he only looked at the stage solemnly: "Let's start!" ”

Among the four people on the stage, Han Xiangfei seemed to be the calmest and the most eye-catching, he was young, wearing a white dress, his fair and delicate face was tight, and he was seriously handling the ingredients in his hands.

Unlike the white uniforms of later generations of chefs, in this era, people generally believed that working in the kitchen was dirty and tiring, and generally wore black and gray clothes.

It is said that men who work hard are the sexiest, especially this kind of abstinence handsome guy cooking seriously, it is even more exciting, the first two times Ning Xi himself had to participate in the competition, he didn't have a chance to take a good look, this time he had to take advantage of the opportunity.

Ning Xi held his cheek with one hand and stared at Han Xiangfei intently.

He was really smart, Ning Xi just casually mentioned it, and he thought of using camelpaws to make the dish "Sand Boat Treading Cui".

The camelpaw is dried, and it must be processed before it can be used, boiled in water for two hours, and the fur is torn off and washed, and it seems that the camelpaw he uses has been cleaned.

Han Xiangfei poured water into the pot, put in chicken and pork bones, etc., then added ginger pieces, green onions and cooking wine, boiled in the pot, skimmed off the foam, and then simmered over low heat, and then washed and processed a handful of tender green rape hearts.

Ning Xi looked at him intently, while thinking about if his actions were as good as he did when he was cooking, he suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him, and turned his head along with that gaze, which was the direction where Jun Qianyu was, but at this time he was watching the chefs on the stage cooking, and he didn't notice her appearance at all, Ning Xi pouted, ignored him, and continued to watch Han Xiangfei cook seriously.
