Chapter 32: Xiao Jiu'er

From the moment Xian Hongye planted Gu, there was an intractable question that had been surrounding me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

How did this little Jiu'er put Gu in Huaiyang cuisine, and people couldn't notice it?

Later, all the problems were concentrated in that small bowl of bird's nest soup, but it made me feel even more incredible.

What is the concept of poisoning in bird's nest soup? In my opinion, this is something more difficult than climbing to the sky. Because I really can't think of any way to cover up the smell of Gu poison and the like, it's completely impossible......

For example, don't talk about poisoning Gu, just put an extra drop of vinegar and a drop of oil in the bird's nest soup, and people can drink different feelings, and even some sensitive people can give you vomit on the spot, let alone Gu.

One might ask? Why am I so superstitious about the subjective illusion of taste? Isn't there a colorless and odorless poisonous Gu that can be used to harm people?

If someone asks that, then I can only tell him that he may have watched too much TV and novels, and this colorless and tasteless poison, especially insect Gu, did not exist at least in ancient times.

My old squad leader once told me that the best poison discriminator in a human body is the tongue, and before the invention of modern poisons, asking if a food is poisonous or not was tried by the human tongue.

We often see similar episodes on TV, and some people may think that the eunuchs and palace maids who try the food before the emperor's dinner are purely defying the law. It can be regarded as the "guinea pig" of ancient times. But in fact, it is not the case at all, because people have mastered the skill of the tongue to identify the special taste of poisons, so they dare to do this business.

After all, poison attacks can occur quickly and slowly, and not all poisonous things will kill you on the spot, and some will not even attack until a year or two later. It would have been too hasty to let the "boss" eat it without having a seizure at that time.

Why does the human tongue taste bad? Or why did the ancients think that if food tastes bad, there must be a problem? The reason for this was also explained to me in detail by my old squad leader.

He told me that before the modern era, people were not very productive, especially distillation and purification techniques. Therefore, the manufactured things are often very impure, and it will be difficult to avoid some other impurities mixed in, so it will produce a special smell that is difficult to cover.

Whether it is poison or Gu, they all have similar shortcomings. Moreover, these substances came from herbs, gold stones, poisonous insects, decay and other foreign objects in ancient times, and they were rarely synthesized. Therefore, the special "smell" mixed in it is stronger. Often people can distinguish the difference by smell, taste, and vision.

Therefore, at that time, in order to cover up the smell of poison and mold, people often put them in dishes with heavy flavors, and covered them up with heavy flavors such as chili peppers and salt. And liquor, which can paralyze the sense of taste, is the first choice for poisoners. This is one of the reasons why the ancient highly poisonous "Liquor Liquor" has been popular for thousands of years, because it can mask those miscellaneous tastes.

The purpose of the old squad leader originally told me this was to explain the truth to me, so that I would have more experience, so that I would not be framed when cooking in the future, and at the same time remind me not to be greedy, eat and buy some ingredients that taste bad or even abnormal, which will harm customers and myself.

But I didn't expect that many years later, his words would become a "prison" that hindered my judgment. It made me almost confused.

It's not that the old squad leader is wrong, but because of the true body of this white food Gu...... It's not an ingredient at all, it's a living thing!

To take it a step further, this is the secret technique "Living Gu" in the left side of the door.

All my original questions have been answered on the "egg" in my hand.

In Xiao Jiu'er's private kitchen, I found a blank piece of paper casually, and then "beat" the egg in my hand on the white paper.

In an instant, egg whites flowed out.

"Nothing...... Wrong! Wang He looked at the egg whites of the eggs, and suddenly said, "What's here?" How...... No egg yolks! ”

I sneered a little and replied self-deprecatingly, "Of course there is no egg yolk...... Because it's not an egg, it's a snake egg! ”

At this point, I raised my head and gasped slightly, "The true body of the White Food Gu is this snake egg!" ”

At first, I thought it was a basket of red-skinned eggs, but when I looked closely, I suddenly realized that this egg was not quite like a normal egg.

Compared to normal eggs, this egg is more oval, the skin is softer, and most importantly, I could not see the yolk at all under the light, but I could only see a vague shadow of an embryo.

All of this is in line with my understanding of snake eggs.

But when I began to suspect that they were snake eggs, I didn't even believe them, because after all, I couldn't think of any snake that could lay such a big egg. Now think about it, it can lay an egg the size of an egg...... I'm afraid it's only a giant python.

But at that time, I couldn't help but just think about one question, could this little Jiu'er ...... Is it the snake spirit that changes?

Just as I was thinking, Wang Yao suddenly pushed me and said, "You have been talking for a long time, where is the snake?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the almost transparent egg whites, and after a little thought, I picked up a brush from the desk, and took some ink from the inkstone, and dripped it into the broken egg whites......

Two or three seconds later, the snake embryo with the length of a little finger appeared in front of the three of us with the spread of ink, and it moved and swam quite happily.

It was a snake.

The snake was almost colorless in its entirety, except for a tiny red dot and a little bloodshot on its eyes and heart, like a goji berry.

I finally understand why it's blood bird's nest soup and red wolfberries.

With a pale face, I explained along my own lines: "Everything is right! Her Xiao Jiu'er's white food Gu is this transparent colorless snake, mixing this thing with the same transparent blood bird's nest, the ghost can see it. This snake egg is sweet and salty, and a small snake has no taste...... How could it be eaten? ”

What a vicious woman like a femme fatale!

As I spoke, I slapped the table hard, trying to vent the frustration in my heart. And Wang Roar did it even more ruthlessly! He picked up one big hand, and wanted to smash the poison that was still swimming in front of him.

But at this juncture, in the direction of the door of the private kitchen, there was a leisurely voice:

"Don't hurt my baby!"

The voice seemed to have magical power, and it stopped my behavior and the king's irritability.

The two of us slowly raised our heads and looked at the person who was speaking......

A faint woman quietly appeared at the door.

Pale dress, as pale skin as dress, as pale as skin smile......

In short, I could not find a trace of blood in the haggard woman. Except for her almost inky hair. She is like a doll made out of white face.

But all this was expected by me, and the only thing that surprised me was that the girl's "prosthetic eyes" were exactly the same as the real thing.

If it weren't for the fact that the white fat man had reminded me that this woman was blind, I wouldn't have believed that she couldn't see.

It's so abnormal, especially the woman's big watery eyes, unusually confident and beautiful smile. So much so that I couldn't help but wonder what she had to replace her eyes.

And just like that, the four of us looked at each other and fell into a brief silence.

At this time, it is no exaggeration to say that this woman who looks so beautiful and desolate, this girl who is so weak that she seems to break at the touch of a finger, but Wang Roar and I, who are shocked by just using momentum, dare not act rashly.

And the most terrifying of the three of us was her original master, Boss Bai.

At this time, Boss Bai is like a mouse who has only seen a cat. He slid behind the king's roar. He kept telling the woman: "Jiu'er, surrender!" These are mainland public security, we have nowhere to run......"

At this time, Xiao Jiu'er showed a mocking smile.

She stared at the white boss who was obscene because of fear with a pair of watery eyes and said, "I said a long time ago, you are too timid!" Nothing big can be done! Now that you've come to this point, it's all up to you. ”

Xiao Jiu'er's words made me speechless at the time.

If in her eyes, this white boss's courage is still small, then I can only say that she is too perverted and psychologically distorted. I've never seen such a guy in my life!

To be honest, at that moment, I sympathized with Boss Bai.

So, I relieved him and said, "Little girl, you boss Bai is called seeing the situation clearly, how can you say that you are timid?" I advise you to also see the situation clearly, and hurry up to cooperate with us, say how to solve the white food Gu, and win the government's ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the little ninety-two suddenly stared at me with round eyes and smiled slightly.

That kind of smile is the same effect as giving me two slaps! And I suddenly felt ...... Her little Jiu'er's smile, I seem to have seen it.

When I stopped, she suddenly said, "Do you still want to pretend to be a policeman?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned, and I thought to myself, how can this one without eyes be more powerful than one with eyes? I could tell at a glance that I was a fake. But fortunately, I'm not an ordinary person, even if I am recognized, I have to continue to pretend to be a green onion.

So, I settled down and said to Xiao Jiu'er: "This...... I'm naturally a police officer. ”

But at this time, Xiao Jiu'er unceremoniously pierced my layer of window paper, and gave me a dismount at that time!

She continued to smile and said to me, "Mr. Policeman, why do you smell of green onions?" Could it be that you graduated from the police academy...... Is it the Temple of Confucius? ”

Xiao Jiu'er's words hit my chest like a thunderbolt, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out of my mouth at that time.

In my surprise, I even wondered if she was a person.

"You...... How do you know I'm from Confucius Temple? I asked, frightened and filled with sincere admiration.

After all, there are almost no people who know about this matter, and even Wang Luo, who has worked with me for many years, doesn't know what a "Confucius Temple" is.

But Xiao Jiu'er only answered me with an intriguing smile.

"I know everything about you, but ......" Xiao Jiu'er said this sentence that made me desperate, and at the same time moved her eyes to the direction of the white fat man.

"You betrayed me?"

Xiao Jiu'er's simple four words made me suffocate when I heard it!

"Wang roared!" I immediately ordered: "Protect the white fat man!" Xiao Jiu'er wants to kill ......"

However, it was already too late.
