Chapter Fifty-Eight: The First Test of 'Discernment'

In the afternoon, Zhu Lang studied the content of the first semester of the five courses of science, chemistry, biology, history, and geography in the third year of junior high school, and got 1,000 points again. But the time was just after 4 o'clock, Zhu Lang wanted to find something to pass the time, and asked: "Beibei, you are an assistant, equivalent to the boss's personal secretary, to remind the boss of the schedule." I still have some time, do I have something to do? ”

Bei Bei pondered, "Things? Oh~ Yes, the theme of the next event trial is 'Observation Instruments', think about what to prepare. Last time, the Binbin guessed very accurately, and the two girls had stars in their eyes......"

When Zhu Lang heard this, he was very unconvinced, so he buried his head in speculation: "I really found something to do." Let me think about ~ 'observation', 'instrument'? …… The previous observations are very simple, they are all natural phenomena, and they will not use instruments such as ammeters and voltmeters; Then the rest are rulers, thermometers, balances, dynamometers, clocks, magnifying glasses, microscopes, and so on. There's only one instrument in there, what is it? ”

"The last time I observed an orchard, the object was flowers and trees; It uses the body's sensory organs; The questions given are sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste. Next time, you will need to use an observation instrument to assist in observation. Bei Bei hurriedly reminded, full of initiative.

Zhu Lang saw Beibei's appearance before and after the saddle, and immediately realized that this smart dog wanted to take advantage. So he tempted: "The original 50 points are canceled, you guessed to give 100 points; To get extra redemption points, you withdraw 1%. ”

"50 becomes 100, and the exchange of points for items is often tens of thousands, and 1% is more than 100...... Every time in the future! "Babe is overjoyed.

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase."

"It's a deal!"

One person and one intelligence, like a fox stealing a chicken, makes a 'hehe' smirk......

One person and one dog discussed for more than ten minutes, and finally decided that it was a 'magnifying glass'.

The reason given by Bei Bei is: "First, the observation activities in the early stage are very simple, excluding balances, dynamometers, and microscopes. Second, the objects of observation are natural phenomena, and they are all flowers and trees, and do not use thermometers and clocks. Thirdly, in the last activity of 'using the human senses to observe', among the 'five senses' of 'sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste', 'vision' ranks first, and the other 'four senses' do not use the assistance of instruments. …… To sum up, vision-related instruments are only 'magnifying glasses'! ”

Zhu Lang also participated in the discussion and naturally agreed with Beibei's point of view. Next, he asked Bei Bei to find some 'magnifying glass' knowledge to learn. Moreover, in the last assessment trial, he had the experience of using a 'natural color crystal' as a magnifying glass to make fire, and it was easy to learn this knowledge.

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Lang set off to taste the 'fish-flavored shredded pork'.

Looking along the way, it seems that every house has a dish of 'fish-flavored shredded pork', and they all advertise that they are authentic. Zhu Lang thought of the overstretched banknotes, and he couldn't figure out where to eat authentic 'fish-flavored shredded pork'.

Zhu Lang pondered: "I originally wanted to find a big restaurant to eat an authentic fish-flavored shredded pork, but the dishes in the hotel are too expensive, and I can't eat a single dish, so I just find a small restaurant to eat one." As long as I eat fish-flavored shredded pork, I can use 'identification' to parse the recipe", I don't care if the fish-flavored shredded pork I eat is authentic! ”

With that in mind, he looked down the street and stopped in front of a small restaurant on the side of the road. The inside was fairly clean, with few guests.

"Boss, is there a 'fish-flavored shredded pork'? Have a meal. Well, add another sweet and sour pork ribs and a large bowl of tomato egg vegetarian broth. ”

"Okay, please sit inside, and you'll be fine right away!"

The fat boss, wearing a chef's hat, a white apron, and a white towel on his shoulder, enthusiastically let Zhu Lang into the store, and asked him to sit at a small square table, served dishes, poured him a glass of water, and went to work.

Zhu Lang waited for more than ten minutes, and the fat boss brought two dishes, one soup and one bowl of rice to the small dining table.

Zhu Lang took a sip of the soup, smacked his lips beautifully, and said to the fat boss who was still standing at the table: "It's delicious, it's better than the soup made by Grandpa Liang!" After speaking, he used chopsticks to rummage through the fish-flavored shredded pork.

"That's right, this is a restaurant, if you don't have a good meal at home, who will come to the restaurant! …… What are you looking for? ”

"Fish! I have shredded meat, why haven't I seen shredded fish? ”

"Ha~ha~, who said that there is fish meat in the shredded fish-flavored pork?"

"Oh, that's the fish soup! There won't be fish bones, right? ”

"Absolutely no fish bones! Eat with confidence~" The fat boss said, just stood aside, smiled without saying a word, and did not leave.

Zhu Lang was puzzled, he couldn't tell whether there was any fish in the 'fish-flavored shredded pork'. After all, he is a 'wild' child, and he has never eaten it once, but he has heard from his classmates that "fish-flavored shredded pork" is delicious; And the fat boss's affirmative words show that there is no fish in the 'fish-flavored shredded meat'.

"Damn, it's a shame to lose a lot of hair~ I would have checked it on the Internet if I knew it. Hey? Why didn't the dead dog say anything? Watch Lao Tzu's jokes! Hmph~ Didn't Lao Tzu have 'discernment'? …… The golden shredded meat, black fungus, white bamboo shoots, green green peppers, red red peppers, and various condiments are all colorful, and they are still delicious! No matter, taste it first, and then analyze it with skills, and everything will be understood! ”

I put a chopstick fish-flavored shredded meat into my mouth, and Zhu Lang closed his eyes and felt: "Sour, sweet, salty, spicy, fragrant, soft, refreshing, smooth, meaty, green, and - the taste of fish, I really put the fish soup~!" …… There's also a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, well, it's pretty delicious! Or, try this with 'discernment' first, and then test that ......."

Zhu Lang picked up a piece of ribs dripping with sugar juice, sucked hard, then gnawed the meat on the bones, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a moment, and said: "'Identification, open!'" ’”

The skill is opened, and Zhu Lang seems to have obtained a powerful spiritual sense out of thin air, and he can easily identify this dish: the ingredients and condiments used, the characteristics, amount, and processing methods of each ingredient, the type and proportion of condiments, the method and heat of each process...... With that spiritual sense, Zhu Lang seemed to sense that a figure was demonstrating cooking, and it was like fast-forwarding to watch a video replay...... Finally, I also put the relevant textual materials in my mind.
