Chapter 33: Su Zizuo
Su Zizuo is inferior to others because of his foreign identity and skills, so he has an inferiority complex in his bones. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because of this inferiority, Su Zizuo emphasizes the training of "basic skills" more than the local pastry chef in Huaiyang, and also pays more attention to cultivating a new generation of people.
In their opinion, their skills are inherently insufficient, and only by training the strength of their fingers from an early age, even just after their mother's womb, can they catch up with the local masters who have been passed down for hundreds of years, so that the next generation will not be like them.
Therefore, Su Zi's training on finger strength is extreme, even perverted.
I've only heard about it. If Su Zizuo's children want to learn pastry, they must start soaking their hands in vinegar at the age of three, and then practice the skill of holding copper coins from boiling water like thieves. In the future, they will give the child the ability to juggle in order to improve the absolute dexterity of the fingers.
It is not until the child has mastered these basic skills that they will be given the ability to make pastries.
And all this just to practice the dexterity and strength of their fingers.
There's no way, who let them be looked down upon by Su Zizuo.
Thinking of this, I looked at the coin that Zhao Shuihe was holding tightly in my hand, and sneered in my heart.
Isn't her elusive coin roller a basic skill in juggling?
She thought she could cover it up, but she didn't know that it was self-defeating.
Moreover, to say that Zhao Shuihe is "Su Zizuo", I have one of the most important proofs, that is, my understanding of the history of Zhaojialou.
The old squad leader told me before that there were many Zhao family members who walked out of Zhaojialou during the Republic of China, and most of them fled and left in the War of Resistance Against Japan. And Zhao Haikun told me that this Huainan Zhao family is a distant relative that they have only contacted in recent years.
In this way, the background of the formation of Zhao Shuihe's Zhao family bloodline should probably also be the Republic of China period, which also coincides with the period when "Su Zizuo" appeared......
As soon as I synthesized it, I connected all the clues about "Su Zizuo" and Zhao Shuihe.
At this point, I told Zhao Shuihe my thoughts: "If you are from Yangzhou, you can speak Yangzhou dialect, if you are from Huai'an, you can speak Huai'an, but your words are from Beijing, and you must be sincere not to let me hear it." You play the coin hand to induce me to think that you are from Yangzhou pastry who pays attention to hand power. The plum blossom noodles you made for me were to make me mistakenly think that you were a white case cook of the Huai'an faction. ”
Zhao Shuihe didn't talk after listening to the puffing.
Speaking of which, I said with emotion: "You little girl, you are very protective of me. But you don't know that your 'coin roller' is a snake to add, and it just exposes your identity. Because only Su Zizuo's lineage would emphasize such an extreme, assiduous training method, because they want to surpass the local faction in Huaiyang, they pay more attention to basic practice. ”
"Then how do you know that I can make 'steamed buns'." Zhao Shuihe couldn't help but ask.
I replied to her recalled: "If you are completely fooling me and confusing me from the beginning, it is not entirely true, at least I feel that you Zhao Shuihe has one thing from the heart. No lying. ”
"What?" Zhao Shuihe was puzzled.
I bowed my head slightly and said, "You said that you admire Xiao Meiren the most in pastry kung fu, which is absolutely not wrong." And it is said that Xiao Meiren is best at making steamed buns. Therefore, you will definitely learn from Xiao Meiren's legacy and like to make steamed bread and pasta. ”
My answer made Zhao Shuihe speechless, she gritted her teeth lightly, and it was a tacit acquiescence.
Looking at her appearance, I smiled in my heart, knowing that it was "Meng" right.
In fact, I don't know what Zhao Shuihe is best at. But there is one thing I know, that is, this Zhao Meizi, like other "Su Zizuo" backgrounds, has an inferiority complex in her bones.
That kind of inferiority, they will do everything possible to cover it up, just like an innate birthmark.
Therefore, she will take it for granted that the best she makes is steamed buns. Because steamed bread is the simplest pastry, it is also the most difficult pastry to make.
It's too difficult to make this kind of pastry, and it's one of the biggest tests of the basic skills of a white case cook.
I think the reason why Xiao Meiren's cooking skills were outstanding back then was not because of how innovative dishes or dim sum she made, but because she invented the theory of three water noodles, glutinous rice and two ingredients, and the theory of touching and making with her fingers, and just because the steamed buns and dumplings she made were "small and cute, white as snow".
That's the pinnacle of craftsmanship!
I said that she Zhao Shuihe can make steamed buns, in fact, she is also "lifting her" in disguise, according to Zhao Shuihe's idea of "hate is higher than the sky", I think she will gladly accept this kind of "sycophant".
Because I know that this kind of promotion is the ultimate affirmation of the origin of "Su Zizuo", and it is also the ultimate affirmation of the master of the white case.
Ya must eat this set.
Sure enough, just after I finished speaking, Zhao Shuihe nodded with relief: "You owe a mouth, but you still have eyesight." You're right this time, we're tied! ”
"Tie?!" I was stunned and said, "That's not what you just said!" You say I'll win if I say it all before the sun goes down! ”
As I spoke, I cast my eager gaze on Hyun Momiji.
She is a witness, she has to be fair, and besides, she still grows white food Gu.
Faced with Shui He's remorse, Red Leaf also nodded anxiously and said, "Shui Lotus, you can't break the contract." We don't want to understand Gu, just for the spirit of your Five Organs Temple's 'Promise and Righteousness', and we can't break the contract! ”
I'll go! This virtuous red leaf is too good at speaking, and he is worthy of being an executive of a state-owned enterprise, which is really admirable.
Her words were directly put on the line, and Zhao Shuihe saved enough face. Don't talk about Zhao Shuihe, even if it is replaced by anyone, he can't resist it.
So, I added fuel and vinegar to Zhao Shuihe and said: "If you don't solve the Gu, you will be treacherous, and you will be sorry for the Five Organs Temple." See for yourself! ”
These two sentences directly sealed Zhao Shuihe's retreat. And it also made me suddenly go from a loser to a triumphant winner.
You want me to kowtow to a girl, recognize the grandmother, and don't look at my own catties! Except that her breasts are bigger than mine, where is she stronger than me! Ha ha! Hahaha!
Unlike my pride, Zhao Shuihe, who slapped his face, regretted it very much, but regret was useless. She has to make her own promises.
Zhao Shuihe clenched the coin in his hand, and after struggling in his heart for a while, he suddenly nodded and said, "You win." ”
"How to solve the White Food Gu! How to solve the food curse?! I asked eagerly.
Zhao Shuihe's face was very embarrassed, she didn't seem to want to help me, an opportunist, but after thinking for a while, she still nodded slightly and said, "Okay!" I'm telling you, it's actually ...... eating spell."
But just when Zhao Shuihe was about to tell the truth I was expecting. Another untimely cat meow suddenly interrupts everything!
The cat's "meow" neighed quickly made the three of us tense our nerves.
Zhao Shuihe suddenly raised his head in the direction of the cat's meow. Then she stopped talking, her eyes widened, and she pointed in one direction.
In that direction...... It was the coffin of my old squad leader.
Following her instructions, I immediately realized what was about to happen.
Then, I turned back suddenly.
The three of us saw one after another, on top of the coffin of the old squad leader, the wild cat, which had always been pure black, standing on the edge of the coffin, staring intently at my old squad leader, staring at the dead face of the black bowl above his head.
Looking at the cat, a great panic suddenly rose in my heart.
Because in the wake of the spirit, the worst thing - "cat jumping corpse" is about to happen~!
