Chapter 134: Again and Again
"It's a terrible situation!" From behind the window on the second floor of the tavern, Captain Caplin watched the farce going on at the gate. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info then rubbed his temples with his forehead thumb, and at the same time twisted his eyebrows into a ball as if they were knotted.
Then the door slammed, and then the voice of the Morpheus knight came from behind the plank: "Are you in there, Kaplin?" I've come over to discuss something with you. β
"Mr. Morpheus, please come in, the door is unlocked." Captain Kaplin immediately lowered his right hand and left the window.
The Morpheus Knight, who pushed the door in, sat down on the chair next to the coffee table very naturally. Barrett, on the other hand, followed the knight like his entourage, and then stood beside him.
Before Knight Morpheus could speak, Captain Caplin asked, "Mr. Morpheus, are you here for anything?" β
"You saw that farce just now, right?" As he spoke, Knight Morpheus turned his gaze out the window.
"The other side probably won't use this method in the future." Captain Kaplin is also well-informed, and has his own set of perceptions of such events.
"But maybe I'll play something else." As the Morpheus Knight spoke, he turned his head to look at Barrett subtly.
"Did you think of something?" Captain Kaplin had similar concerns before, and he became a little anxious.
Knight Morpheus smiled and nodded: "Barrett just reminded me that although there are some people in the 'Red Flame Rose', there are more ordinary employees. β
"They're going to be the breakthrough." Captain Kaplin immediately understood the weak link used by the mastermind behind this Hebei.
"Whether it's bribery or threats, there is a problem with the ability of ordinary people to resist in this regard." Knight Morpheus nodded.
Captain Kaplin's face also turned ugly: "That's too much for us to guard against." If you're not careful, something big might happen. β
"It is very difficult for a highly effective agent with a strong reaction to work on a professional. If it's limited to what you can mix into, it's even smaller. When you factor in the price and difficulty of access, this is not a big threat. Barrett then picked up and explained.
After all, the life form of professionals is very different from ordinary people, and those toxins that can seal the throat of ordinary people can only make them uncomfortable for a period of time in front of professionals. And some powerful professionals can even ignore the effects of most toxins - only a few special toxins mixed with supernatural powers can really weaken them.
And all the seamen of the Boleum fleet, even the men, were the lowest rank of professions - unlike ordinary merchant ships. So many tricks against an ordinary fleet are useless for the Boreham fleet.
Knight Morpheus also followed Barrett's words at this time and said: "In fact, the concern is contaminated food, and if there is a large-scale diarrhea, it is no less troublesome than poisoning. And it's more difficult to prevent. β
"Is this really hard to solve? Do you want us to arrange for someone to go to the kitchen to help and monitor by the way? Captain Kaplin also twisted his face slightly.
Knight Morpheus spread his hands: "It seems that this is indeed the only way to do it at the moment." However, the chef who held the banquet on the ship before was actually quite good. Let's just say that we want to eat the taste of our hometown, and it should be no problem for them to add it for the time being. β
"If the money we give doesn't change, the owner of the hotel won't have a problem." Captain Kaplin touched his chin and nodded, "But will the people in the kitchen think that their territory has been violated?" I'm not very familiar with that group, but I've heard of similar questions. When the time comes, don't catch it and ask it, but it will be terrible if it inspires Mao Dun. β
"I'll leave this task to me! As long as you suppress them in cooking, the rest of the things will be easy to do. Barrett said with a grin.
Captain Kaplin's eyes immediately widened when he heard this: "You? β
"Yes! In terms of culinary skills, our Boreham family is not weaker than others. Barrett tilted his head slightly, as if to show his absolute confidence.
Unlike Captain Caplin's blank expression, Knight Morpheus seemed to have thought of something, and then muttered, "This is also ......"
The easternmost market in the commercial district of Wilbos Harbour is located far from the port, where it meets the rich and the poor. But compared to other places, it's a dazzling place to live. A large open space was crowded with people buying and selling things of all kinds.
The layout here is dominated by a vegetable market, a meat market, a livestock market and a cooked food stall, forming four basic centers. The other largest center of the crowd was a troupe of third-rate troubadours and other professions, which was formed in a large circle of shabby dusty cloth for the theater.
There is a clown with a red nose at the door, shaking the bell in his hand and collecting the entrance fee with his hat. In this era of lack of entertainment, there are still a lot of civilians who don't mind spending a few copper plates to watch bears dance and dogs dance in circles.
With the crowds coming and going, the market was filled with dust and noise like a flood - everywhere was filled with the smell of petty townspeople and sweat.
The smell of Barrett, who walked in it, was quite cloudy, so cloudy that it made some people's noses itch. The smell of a variety of vegetables, the smell of low-priced spices such as rosemary and bay leaves, and the smell of blood from freshly slaughtered animals.
The smell of these items is mixed with the smell of people themselves, which is a great test of people's ability to endure. One of the main reasons why the vast majority of people of status do not come to such occasions in person is that they are unwilling to endure the smell.
"This looks like a pig arch fungus!" Barrett picked up an egg-sized chunk in front of a stall and looked at it closely. This oval-shaped, tan object has a polygonal wart on its surface. It reflects a red sheen in the sunlight and has a depression at the top.
This is the truffle that was called "the world's three great treasures" in the old days of the real world, along with foie gras and caviar. Of course, in this game world, it has not been praised to that extent, and the price is only comparable to non-imported spices. Otherwise, it wouldn't be in such a bazaar-like place.
As for the caviar in the other two, there are also many clusters in the aristocratic group. Salmon caviar, for example, is the freshest and most advanced salmon caviar in Boreham, which is a famous tribute to the Novartis Kingdom. Although nowhere near as magically preserved North Sea sturgeon caviar, each pot costs between one hundred and fifty to two hundred gold coins on the black market - almost the equivalent of a refined weapon.
Even ordinary caviar is worth a lot of money because of the difficulty of obtaining or processing it, as well as the trouble of preserving it, especially the problems of preservation, which make it almost impossible to find a trace in this 'urban-rural area'.
On the contrary, it is a common ingredient such as foie gras, but Barrett did not buy it. And it doesn't seem to be going to experiment in this area either. He felt that fattening the livers of birds was too cruel, and some of the extreme druids even attacked such farms.
After swaggering through the 'wet market' with the Marines early in the morning, Barrett immediately plunged into the kitchen with the goods he had purchasedβand after a glittering silver glow, the row of tender green asparagus was dissented and shelled. Barrett's blade flashed along the skin and sweet flesh of the asparagus, barely making a trace of waste.
Holding the handle of the pot, Barrett relied on the changes in the flame radiation coming from the palm of his hand to rhythmically control the example between the bottom of the pot and the flame. Bubbles continue to bubble up on the side of the asparagus in the sound of "Zizi", and with the continuous shaking of the iron pot, the asparagus in the pot is tumbling like a dance.
The high heat of the steak is sealed in the next even heat, and the sauce made with gravy, herbs and 'pig arch mushroom' makes the beef feel like it is coming alive in the mouth, without colliding with the gums and teeth.
This is followed by a handmade ice cream made with silver cylinders and ice cubes and coarse salt. The creamy texture and the right amount of temperature are truly mesmerizing β like snowflakes on the tip of the tongue, and the feeling of slowly melting is intoxicating.
A binder made from boiling fish skin and swim bladder - absolutely harmless and edible. The mousse cake, made with cream and spices, made the chefs in the tavern understand what it means to be a regular class. Unlike common people's delicacies, they show a sense of sophistication that fascinates every industry insider who has never been in contact with them before.
In this way, Barrett calmed the chef in charge of the 'Red Flame Rose' Hotel on the first day he entered the kitchen, and then took the initiative of the entire kitchen into his own hands with a little means. With his mixing, the efficiency of the entire kitchen has been greatly improved.
But in addition to Barrett's almost overwhelming performance, which convinced several people in the kitchen. The integration of the chefs in the remaining two taverns was not so smooth, and they did not have too obvious advantages, although they did not encounter blatant resistance, but the confrontation and non-cooperation behind them were always there.
"What are you doing here?" Barrett, who said this, carried the left arm of a cooker in the air: "Are you trying to destroy a whole pot of leftover salad?" β
One by one, the other cooks in the kitchen cast gloating glances at the unlucky one. In their opinion, this must be because the assistant cook must have been reprimanded by Barrett because he did not do something well. These kinds of incidents happened all the time during the days when Barrett was in charge of the kitchen, but none of the cooks were busy with Barrett.
They genuinely respected Barrett for his rebuke because each of his rebukes was not only substantial, but more importantly accompanied by targeted guidance. Although this instruction is sometimes a little trick, it is invaluable to these chefs in the civilian area.
In a world where knowledge is tightly controlled, it is not easy to learn a craft. How many apprentices have been cooking cattle and horses for the master for many years before they can learn the master's specialty - and this knowledge is sometimes incomplete. Therefore, Barrett's approach is like a living saint in the eyes of those chefs who have been instructed.
However, when they saw Wu Ping slipping from the hands of the cook, the smiles on the faces of all the cooks disappeared. The clods of dirt that had slipped from where they fell to the ground completely dispersed, followed by a faint smell of soil decay - if mixed with the salad, the eater would only think that the lettuce had not been cleaned, if noted. Of course, the anger after diarrhea is absolutely inevitable.
"You bastard."
"Kill your ......"
"If you don't make it clear today, you'll have to leave at least one hand."
But for these cooks, the current assistant chef's approach is no less than smashing the jobs of everyone present. If he is really fooled, although he will not really become a jobless vagrant, at least this month's income is probably not a few coppers.
Cutting off people's wealth and entering the murderous parents, how can these cooks in front of them not be angry? What's more, the chef in front of him has also been working here for some years, and his behavior is still a naked betrayal. For any group, traitors are often more hated than enemies.
"Yodel, this is your kitchen's own business, and I'll leave it to you." With a wave of his hand, Barrett lifted the cook into the open space of a plate.
And the fat cook patted his chest: "I will figure it all out, and I will not disappoint you, Mr. Boreham." β
As Barrett left the kitchen, the voice came from the bed: "I didn't think anyone would dare to make trouble in my kitchen?" It seems that after all these years, there are people who don't remember how good I am......"
Although everything that happens in the kitchen will inevitably affect the food supply today. From Barrett's point of view, though, it's totally worth it. After all, this kind of tactic, as long as you destroy the first time, once you are wary later, it will be difficult to carry out - unless the mastermind behind the scenes buys all the chefs. But that kind of thing is unlikely without thinking about it.
As for why the other party is making trouble here in Barrett now? I'm afraid it's because Barrett is so good at cooking and has a lot of experience in managing the kitchen, so he doesn't look like a monitor! (To be continued.) )
