Chapter 212: Simmered Carp with Taro
How to answer this, Zhao Zixian felt as if his throat was tied up with an iron chain, and he wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound.
Seeing Zhao Zixian's sweaty head and blushing and thick neck, Old Man Liang was not in a hurry, but said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, my old man won't hide it from you, just such a granddaughter, she is very hot-tempered, you also saw it yesterday." Although I said that I wanted her to accompany you to inquire about things, in fact, my granddaughter I still don't know, I have already seen that she wants to help you, but how the girl's family can say it, it is up to me, an old man, to say. ”
Old man Liang seemed to have some sadness in his eyes, but more joy, and continued, "This girl, usually don't say that she takes the initiative to accompany others to find things, but if a man wants to stand close to her, she will do it." Old man, I can see that she likes you very much, Mr. Zhao, I also appreciate you very much, young, proficient in cooking, and not arrogant or impatient, cough cough, of course, you young people's affairs, or young people to solve it themselves, I can't say anything, you just have your own ideas. ”
Zhao Zixian said hesitantly: "Old man, no, you, you misunderstood, Qing'er and I don't have that kind of meaning." This is actually not a lie, Zhao Zixian actually didn't think carefully about whether he liked Qing'er or not, anyway, this girl is very beautiful and lively, but whether he likes it or not, too many things happened in this night, and he really didn't think about it carefully.
"What!?" The old man listened to Zhao Zixian's words, and his face changed suddenly, "Mr. Zhao, you lonely men and widows have all gone out for the night, but what do you say to my old man now that you don't mean that way?" I'm going to ask you what you mean. ”
"No, no, old man, how can this be considered an overnight stay, we didn't spend the night." Zhao Zixian hurriedly explained.
"Didn't stay overnight, so what did you do last night?" The old man asked. In fact, the old man's attitude at this time is already very good, because he himself likes Zhao Zixian, young and old, steady, and yesterday he instructed himself on some things about wontons, such a young man is definitely not a straw bag. If it had been a different person, I'm afraid the old man would have gone crazy a long time ago.
"We, we, just played in the Chef God Hotel for a night." After Zhao Zixian finished explaining, it was better not to explain.
As if adding fuel to the fire, Old Man Liang caught fire, "Good boy, count my old man blind to you, and you played all night, you don't want to admit it now, right?" After speaking, he picked up the rolling pin and waved it towards Zhao Zixian.
"Old man, listen to me, it's not what you think." Zhao Zixian shouted urgently while dodging.
With Zhao Zixian's hand, how could the old man get him, the Tao is that Zhao Zixian was worried that the old man would step on the air and fall to the ground when he was dodging, then his sin would be really great.
How could Old Man Liang listen to Zhao Zixian's explanation at this time, and keep shaking with a rolling pin. "Where did you get my Qing'er, return my Qing'er, you well-dressed beast."
"Qing'er, Qing'er is watching TV now. Hey, stop fighting, old man. ”
"What? Watching TV? You're old and confused, if you don't tell the truth today, I'm going to fight with you. After listening to Zhao Zixian's explanation, Old Man Liang was even more annoyed.
Helplessly, Zhao Zixian raised his arm, blocked the old man's ruined fist, and then said loudly: "Old man, listen to me, Qing'er is in danger, you listen to me quickly." ”
As soon as he heard that his granddaughter was in danger, Old Man Liang stopped instantly, looked at this Zhao Zixian, and said to himself: "Okay, you, you just said that Qing'er was on TV, and now you say that it is dangerous, which one of you is telling the truth." Although he still scolded Zhao Zixian, he didn't continue to do it, no matter what Zhao Zixian said was true or not, it was a fact that his granddaughter did not come back. Even if the young man in front of him is a big villain, the old man has to ask carefully to see what he wants to do in order to keep his granddaughter safe.
Seeing that the old man was no longer impulsively swinging, Zhao Zixian hurriedly continued to explain, "Old man, it's all my fault, after this incident passes, you can punish me however you want, Qing'er is indeed watching TV now, but she is under house arrest, now you must help me think of a way to save Qing'er." ”
Although Zhao Zixian's words were intermittent and not very smooth, they sounded affectionate, and the old man Liang seemed to soften, sat on the chair, and stopped talking, it seems that his granddaughter will be in trouble, it is a fact.
Then Zhao Zixian inquired about how to go to the antique street with Qing'er to inquire about the news, how to gamble on stones to attract Ding Man's attention, how to gamble at the Chef God Hotel, how the white-haired old man appeared and told Old Man Liang all the time, but he hid important information such as Wujin Fan and Wood Spirit Ginseng, and kept saying that he was about to compete with Ding Man, what was the content of the game, if he won, he could save Qing'er, if he couldn't win, he and Qing'er would be in danger.
After listening to it, Old Man Liang heard the words "Hotel", and he believed Zhao Zixian's words for seven or eight points, just now because he was angry, he didn't pay attention to what hotel, and only heard that Zhao Zixian took his granddaughter to the hotel, so it's no wonder that he is not angry. Listening to what Zhao Zixian said now, what kind of gambling stones, to win 10 million yuan for ten yuan, and there is a white-haired old man who can eat the whole banquet of the Manchurian Dynasty, it sounds very ridiculous and bizarre, but because these things are so absurd, he believes Zhao Zixian more, because if it is a lie, how can it be so bizarre, of course, the lie must be made more true.
Both of them were silent for a while and did not speak, Old Man Liang looked at Zhao Zixian with his eyes and asked, "If that's the case, then now that you are out to collect ingredients, why don't you run away first?" ”
Of course, Zhao Zixian will not run by himself, because Zhao Zixian wants to take the spirit ginseng of the wood, in good conscience, Qing'er's status in Zhao Zixian's heart, the spirit ginseng is much higher than that of Qing'er, but Zhao Zixian will not see the beauty in trouble and not save it. It's just that the value of women in men's hearts is always changing, for example, the value of women becomes higher at night, and the moment it is done, it becomes very low, and I want women to get out. But a man's heart to pursue a career and pursue success will not change at any time. Got a career? Will there still be a shortage of women?
Of course, Zhao Zixian couldn't tell the old man these thoughts, but said: "Although I am not a big hero, but I still understand the grace of dripping water and the truth of reciprocating with springs, how can I ignore the people who have helped me." Qing'er is to help me find something, if I don't care, my conscience will not be at ease in this life. ”
Although this is a common saying, Zhao Zixian did not say it with any hypocrisy, and Old Man Liang also felt that Zhao Zixian was a person with affection and sexuality, and he couldn't hear the slightest childlike affection in Zhao Zixian's words. The attitude towards Zhao Zixian is much better.
At that moment, Old Man Liang asked Zhao Zixian: "Then since this is the case, how are you going to deal with this competition, how to deal with Ding Man?" ”
"Of course, I buy more ingredients and cook more dishes, I am still very confident in my own cooking skills, as long as the old man likes to eat my cooking, I can naturally win."
Old Man Liang shook his head, "Ding Man of the Kitchen God Hotel, how could you let you win so easily?" Do you think he'll play a fair game with you? ”
Of course, Zhao Zixian knows that Ding Man is not a good thing, since he met this person, from what he said to the gambling game, this person has not abided by the faith, but he is not willing to compete so hard, and there is no good way.
Seeing that Zhao Zixian didn't speak, the old man smiled mysteriously, "Since the old man said that until he is full, whoever has the highest score will win, according to this rule, there is a way to increase your chances of winning by ninety-nine percent?" Do you know what to do? ”
Of course, Zhao Zixian didn't believe that there was such an easy way, and asked, "What method?" ”
The old man said: "You make a dish first, let the old man eat it, and after eating, the old man will be full immediately, and he will not be able to eat other dishes, so that you will get one point, and when the game is over, you will win." ”
Zhao Zixian originally planned to cook a hundred or dozens of dishes, relying on his cooking skills to win with the total score, but when he heard the old man say this, he said disappointedly: "Old man, you forgot, the white-haired old man is the one who has eaten a whole table of Manchu and Han by himself, and hundreds of people at the Manchu and Han banquet eat at the same time, and they will eat for three days and three nights." Why don't you eat a dish and you'll be full. ”
"Of course, you can't eat enough ordinary dishes, since I told you so, of course I have a plan." The old man smiled and continued. "Did you know there's a dish called simmered carp with taro?"
Zhao Zixian never seemed to know the name of this dish, but it sounded a little familiar, where had he heard it? Because after he left Haikou, in Mount Tai and Hengshan, he experienced too many strange things, what mountains, what fish, what sea, Zhao Zixian really heard too many words, and it was difficult to remember for a while.
Taro carp, taro carp, by the way, when I first came to Hengshan, the first time I saw the old man's wonton restaurant, it was a group of thugs from the Chef God Hotel who broke into the wonton restaurant and asked Old Man Liang for a recipe for taro and simmered carp. By the way, it's this dish, I didn't understand it at the time, a taro, a carp, two ordinary things, it doesn't sound like a dish with a background, can you use such a big posture?
