"Just when you bought it!" Ah Shui clasped his hands around her, stared at her, and deliberately repeated her words like a ghost, his voice full of mockery, "Do you know what the price of this puffer fish is?" I'm afraid it can be used for a year's worth of chewing by your whole family, right? It's ridiculous that you dare to make a big deal out here, just as if you bought it, but I'm afraid that it won't be enough for you to sell it! ”

As soon as the words fell, Ah Shui then turned to the shopkeeper Yan and tried to persuade him, "Shopkeeper, do you really want to believe this kid's words?" This guy is full of lies and comes out of his mouth, and you have heard what he just said, you don't know what to say, you really don't want to believe it! ”

The kid first said in front of the shopkeeper who had tried the puffer fish that it was poisonous and could kill 30 adults/people, and then said that he was willing to pay for it if what he said was false.

However, with his dress, I am afraid that the sum of the family's money is not enough for a fraction.

From beginning to end, this kid didn't tell the truth, and the shopkeeper actually gave him a chance to prove that Ah Shui didn't understand why.

Shopkeeper Yan was also hesitating in his heart, hesitating whether to believe Gu Changning, and his mind was also very warlike.

It's just that in the end, he cautiously occupied the top, and he was silent for a moment before waving his hand to signal Gu Changning to start.

"Little brother, I have to say something in front." The shopkeeper Yan looked at her with a torch in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Although our owner is kind-hearted and does not easily make enemies with others, it is not easy to bully, if you find out that you are teasing us, the time will ...... Don't blame us for being rude! ”

"Don't worry, although I am young, some of the rules are still clear, and I can assure you that I am not teasing you!" Gu Changning said very sincerely.

"It's so good, little brother can start."

When Gu Changning heard this, he rolled up his sleeves without saying a word and started to cook the puffer fish.

There is more than one poison on the body of the puffer fish, such as the internal organs, the eyes, blood, fish skin and other parts are full of toxins, it can be said that except for the flesh, the other parts are all poisonous.

Therefore, Gu Changning first asked people to fetch water for later use, and then used scissors to cut off all the eyes and shark fins on both sides of the puffer fish, and then cut the fish belly.

At this time, it is necessary to constantly rinse the blood with clean water, and then take out all the internal organs and scrape all the residues in the fish belly.

After the fish maw part is processed, the next step is to cut off the transverse bone at the tail of the fish, turn the fish skin up, scrape the fish skin fat, drain the blood water, and finally wash it with clean water for two quarters of an hour, so that the fish can be used for cooking (the author searched for the processing steps on the Internet, non-professionals do not try privately).

At the same time that Gu Changning completed these steps, the live mice that Shopkeeper Yan sent someone to catch were also caught.

Just as the ingredients were in the final step, she handed over the task of washing the fish to the kitchen apprentice, and took the removed part of the puffer fish to the rat, threw it in the cage, and fed it to the rat.

The rest of the story is simple and straightforward, the rat died of poison in less than a quarter of an hour after eating the rest of the pufferfish, and died no more.

Everyone gasped when they saw this scene, and a chill suddenly surged on their backs.

If this rat is replaced by a guest, then the one who dies here is a guest!

The kitchen fell into a sudden silence, and everyone looked at each other, full of surprise, but no one dared to speak at this time, only exchanging their eyes with the horror in their hearts.

"It's—it's impossible!" After a long time, the dumbfounded Ah Shui stammered, and his voice changed tone again because of shock, "Yesterday, that young man also made puffer fish for the owner to taste, and the shopkeeper also ate it, and now he is still standing here well, how can it be poisonous!" ”

Gu Changning saw that the people around her all looked in disbelief, and she even saw a faint horror in it.

Therefore, after hearing Ah Shui's voice, he raised his little face like a big rooster who had only won a battle, and said vividly: "The puffer fish itself contains highly poisonous, and the poison occurs very quickly, as long as you eat the poisonous part, you can kill people in less than a quarter of an hour at the earliest. ”

Tetrodotoxin can occur within a quarter of an hour at the fastest and as slow as four hours, and rats are smaller than humans, so the same amount will die faster when used in mice.

"But ......" Ah Shui looked at the stiff body of the mouse in a daze, his face turned pale, and he said a little stupidly, "The man said that the puffer fish is recorded in Kaibao Materia Medica, saying that it is sweet, warm, non-toxic, and it is also the main tonic for deficiency, dampness, waist and feet, hemorrhoids, insecticides and other curative effects......"

Needless to say, he understands that if he really cooks puffer fish according to his previous cooking method, he will not be the first to run away if something happens, and that person, that person wants him to die!

Gu Changning listened to him muttering so many indications, three black lines crossed his face, and he twitched the corners of his mouth slightly: "You remember it really clearly......

I don't know, I thought he was a junior apprentice in the medical hall.

Shopkeeper Yan's face was pale at this time, his face was very bad, he clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and then tried to suppress the fear in his heart, and said with a pleasant face: "Little brother, thanks to you, if you hadn't stood up in time to stop it, I'm afraid we would have fallen into someone else's way." ”

Gu Changning nodded and did not speak.

This is clearly a trap.

The person who set up the bureau wanted to make a move on Chen Ji and chose such a dangerous ingredient.

And picked the right time to deliver such a delicious but highly poisonous puffer fish when the restaurant's business was declining.

The people who are in this bureau must not only suppress the Chen family, but also make it completely unable to turn over, and strive to hit it with one blow, and its heart can be punished.

Shopkeeper Yan saw that Gu Changning's face was calm, although he was wearing patched old cloth clothes, and he didn't look very old, he didn't have stage fright at all.

Just now in the face of so many people's doubts in the kitchen, he is still calm and calm, not in a hurry, he can perform this way at a young age, and it is terrible to grow up.

Shopkeeper Yan instantly had so many thoughts in his mind, and he was just about to continue, when Gu Changning spoke.

"Now that this matter has been resolved, can we weigh the fungus again?" Gu Changning pointed to the bamboo basket she had placed by the door just now, and looked at the shopkeeper Yan with black eyes as bright as stars.

"Ah, yes, Noble, go and get the scales and the rods." Shopkeeper Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to a kitchen apprentice on the other side.

His heart was full of surprise, and he thought that Gu Changning would take the opportunity to make some requests, such as giving him some silver taels, this was a good opportunity.

After all, when I was in the lobby, I saw with my own eyes, this little brother and his brother were dressed very plainly, and the two of them also came out to sell these wild vegetables that no one cared about, so they should be short of money.

Needless to say, the little brother was dressed in patched clothes.

The clothes worn by the elder brother were white and washed, although they were not patched, and he knew at a glance that they had been made a few years ago and were worn to this day.

The clothes from a few years ago can still be worn because they were deliberately made bigger, so that a piece of clothing can be worn for several years without changing, which is a favorite practice of ordinary people.

The child grows up quickly, and if you make suitable clothes according to the size of the time, it will not take a year or two to wear this clothes.

Only by making it bigger and giving the body room to grow can you ensure that you don't need to make new clothes for a few years.

With such careful calculations, it is obvious that the situation at home is very ordinary.

The shopkeeper Yan has already made a proposal by himself, and the proprietor will express something to him, so that he can rest assured.

As a result, he didn't expect that he didn't care about himself, but remembered the fungus before, which made the shopkeeper Yan stunned.

Gu Changning turned a blind eye to his surprise, and went directly to the door to carry his back basket and prepare to weigh it.

Before she could move over, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and the sound around the beam was endless, startling her.

"Shopkeeper! You have to help me, someone is trying to harm me! Ah Shui's lips trembled, and his voice continued to change in fright, "Someone must be jealous of my talent and want to frame me!" ”

There was silence in the kitchen, and no one answered.

Gu Changning turned his head sideways and looked at him speechlessly, seeing the sadness and indignation on his face, as if there was really such a thing, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he rolled his eyes in his heart.

Big brother, you have too much drama.

"Ahem, Ah Shui, this matter...... Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I return to the owner's ......house," Shopkeeper Yan looked at Ah Shui's eyes gradually filled with tears, and quickly changed his words, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell the owner truthfully about your grievances, and the owner will definitely make decisions for you and arrest those who are jealous of you!" ”

"Hmm." Ah Shui wiped the tears away with his sleeve and replied in a muffled voice.

"In this way, you are also frightened today, you need to have a good rest, I am in charge, I will let you go back today, go back to recuperate, and come back tomorrow, okay?"

"Hmm." Ah Shui nodded, put away the stove, and left the backyard.

Shopkeeper Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and everyone who had stayed in the corner of the kitchen as a background wall was also relieved, as if they had solved some serious trouble.

Gu Changning was amazed by the scene that happened just now, but he didn't expect that the person who was arrogant before was now leaving like a defeated rooster, and looked at the shopkeeper Yan with admiration.

Although she didn't know why everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy, she guessed that it was related to Ah Shui's speculation.

Shopkeeper Yan, your desire to survive is very strong!

When Shopkeeper Yan received Gu Changning's eyes, he couldn't help but "cough" and directly ignored the past.

Ah Shui has no problem doing things, he is serious and careful, and he also has a bullish spirit, he will do what he should do, and he will never shirk.

But there's one thing, he's easily emotional.

If he didn't follow him just now, he wouldn't be able to cry all night and not forget to think about who was going to harm him.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Yan also sighed lightly, it is not easy to be a shopkeeper, this is a high-risk position, and it is easy to age quickly.

Gu Changning didn't know why he suddenly sighed, she didn't care what was on the storekeeper's mind, she just wanted to sell this bag of dried fungus quickly, so as to add a little weight to the piggy bank.

The shopkeeper Yan watched her move the back basket, and said a word.

"Do you know that you just saved our host's family, and as a token of gratitude, you can ask for it......"
