54. The pearl of the palm

The moment he felt the wind, Qi Jue's conditional reaction was to dodge, but as long as he avoided it a little, the thief might run away. But the body stopped at the last moment, because by that time he had already judged that it was not a thing of wood or metal.

Not to mention that the sound of the weapon breaking through the air was wrong, but according to the familiar fresh smell that accompanied the weapon, he could also bet that it was definitely one of the fruit cucumbers left in the room by Ergou!

The right foot that kicked out backwards had already landed, and the person was not forced to dodge, and in the next second, Qi Jue turned around smoothly and looked at the thief, and at the same time, his right hand had already grabbed the thing that was smashed over his head.

The thief immediately panicked, and immediately gave up the plan to run out of the door, turned around and threw himself on the bed next to him, apparently planning to roll over from the bed and distance himself from Qi Jue first.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that what is just an ordinary vegetable in his hands will become a real weapon in Qi Jue's hands. The cucumber, which had been infused with strength and turned very hard, was pumped towards the thief's leg like a boomerang, and the man only had time to roll on the bed, and as soon as he landed, he was hit directly and fell to the ground.

When he raised his head again, Qi Jue was already standing beside him, his two arms were twisted behind him hard, and he was completely restrained.

To be honest, it was quite unexpected that this thief was so weak. He thought that the thief who could sneak in so quietly should also have professional fighting skills worthy of his skills as a thief, but he didn't expect that this person was probably a real pure thief, and he was not very good at hand-to-hand combat - it was the idea of this thief to run away from the beginning, maybe only the speed of running could be put on the table?

The person had already been restrained, Qi Jue turned on the light, looked out the window again, and found that Hao Dong was still cooking seriously, and did not notice what was happening here in the house, so he simply dragged a chair and sat down, and began to interrogate the thief.

The thief still has a work ethic, and at the beginning, he didn't know anything about it, and he didn't even let out a fart. Qi Jue was a little impatient when he asked, so he simply moved directly.

The thief was still quite tough, and when his left arm was removed, he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, and when his right arm was also drooped, his head was covered with sweat, and he almost fainted. Seeing that Qi Jue still had the intention of continuing to do it, he couldn't help but open his mouth.

In fact, the information that can be obtained from the mouth of the thief is limited, only that he is a relatively famous three-handed person on the local ground, and there are many cases in the police station, but because the amount is not large each time, he can only be released after education. came and went, and the fame gradually went out like this.

This time, someone came to him specifically to "work", and he was very surprised, after all, although he boasted that his skills were good, the number of times he was arrested was also very good. Even if someone does have a special need to ask a thief for help, they will generally not come to him with a lot of criminal records. However, the man seemed to be very concerned about the amount of employment, and it was probably for financial reasons that he came to him.

Then the man showed him a picture, probably a copy of a photograph with a number on it.

The man told him to memorize the number and what the case looked like, and at the same time gave the hotel and the room number to find a time to come and find it.

Because it's just an ordinary small hotel, although it also uses a magnetic card lock, but in fact, it is easy to get open with a plastic card, he thinks it is not difficult, and the thing stolen is not a very valuable item, so he agreed without much thought.

Qi Jue knew that his words should basically be true, and this person's mood could be seen to be very relaxed at first, and even after going to the room to start work, he was still in the mood to touch the cucumber of the second dog to eat.

It's a pity that this thief's bad luck bumped into Qi Jue. If Ergou and Hao Dong were left behind tonight, maybe they would really be engrossed in eating, and they might not be able to realize the situation here in the house.

Qi Jue asked the thief to describe the appearance of the man who hired him, but the man didn't say anything of value for a long time, and he could only get the concept of an ordinary person from his description. Medium height, medium body type, facial features are not ugly but not handsome, the kind that you can't find directly in the crowd.

However, regarding the appearance of the employee, Qi Jue didn't have much expectations, that kind of person must have put on makeup before appearing in front of the employee.

However, this thief has a good memory, and inadvertently remembered the license plate of the taxi that the man shouted when he left.

As for the thief, he didn't plan to let him go. The hired man told the thief that he would wait for him at home at three o'clock in the afternoon, whether he got anything or not. Qi Jue plans to go back and wait for the queen and them to come back, so let's just wait for the rabbit to see who it is, and they are still interested in that case.

Because of this thought, Qi Jue finally pushed the thief's arm back, then tied it firmly, and pushed him with a sedative, seeing that he was finally confused, and stuffed something in his mouth.

To make sure that the thief couldn't toss out the movement, Qi Jue threw the person in the closet, then tidied it up, and returned to the backyard.

At this time, Hao Dong had already filled the duck's belly with the stuffing made of bamboo shoots, diced meat, ham, mushrooms, chestnuts, shrimp, glutinous rice, mixed with rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and salt, and was sewing up the gaps on the belly.

Hao Dong was very fast, sewed it in three or two, set up the pot, smeared another layer of soy sauce on the duck, and then put it on the shelf to steam. Babao duck is eaten by fire, and it should be stewed until the bones are crispy and the meat is rotten, and the filler and the taste of the duck meat are completely integrated is the best. It's not enough to work here for a few hours, so I'm starting to stew now, hoping to eat it in time for supper.

The duck was steamed on the shelf, and Hao Dong began to cook another more troublesome dish, the pearl in his palm.

Contrary to the eight treasure duck that does not use duck paws, this dish is eaten with duck paws.

It is said that the meat in the middle of the duck palm is the most lively and fatty, and there is a kind of cool food, that is, it specializes in eating live duck palms. The sauce is spread on the iron plate, and then it is grilled over a fire, and when it is piping hot, the live duck is driven back and forth. The duck is scalded and jumped, and the soles of the feet are gradually roasted, so they can be cut off and eaten.

Not to mention the credibility of this way of eating, it is indeed cruel and not worth promoting, but it also shows the deliciousness of this part of the duck from one aspect. After all, no one will delve into how to eat something that tastes bad.

Of course, the duck paws made by Hao Dong now are definitely not like that. After the meat duck is killed, it will naturally be sold separately, and they saw a very good duck palm in the vegetable market today, and they originally planned to do it, so they naturally bought some.

This dish is more laborious, and the duck paws don't look big, and there are only a bunch of a dozen or so. But there are a lot of ingredients to go with them, and the meat alone includes shrimp and chicken thighs, as well as quail eggs.

In addition, in addition to oil and salt, the seasoning also needs stock and starch. Fortunately, there are all in the kitchens of these small restaurants, and although the soup stock tastes salty, the heat is relatively sufficient, and the most important thing is that there is no MSG, so it can barely be used.

The duck paw is boneless, Hao Dong first set up the pot, put in salt, add a small amount of water to boil, the duck paw is boiled in the pot for a while, add rice wine and continue to cook. After a few minutes, the fishy smell dissipates and is taken out to cool. In this way, it will remove the smell more quickly than if it were pickled with wine and salt.

At this time, the quail eggs that had been boiling from the beginning on the other side were also good, Hao Dong raised his eyes and found that Qi Jue was an uncle-like supervisor in his hands, and he was depressed, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to instruct him, so he could only turn off the fire sullenly, planning to peel these quail eggs first.

Qi Juezhen didn't deliberately pretend to be an uncle, he was actually on guard. There were already visitors in the house, and maybe those people weren't at ease, but there were still people who were talking about the idea of this place.

But in reality, everything was normal at this point, and no suspicious people approached. So he was actually very idle, and he saw Hao Dong looking up at him quickly, and then lowered his head to take care of himself for a moment.

After thinking about it, and almost without much hesitation, he walked over and took the pot and bowl in Hao Dong's hand: "I'll peel it." ”

Obviously, Hao Dong was surprised by his actions, and the child looked at him stunned for a while, and then let go of his hand and let him take over the quail eggs.

Xiao Qi Ye took the initiative to help Hao Dong, which surprised Hao Dong, but he quickly adjusted. Since someone else had done the tedious work, he took the shrimp and chicken thighs from the side and began to process the meat puree.

You can also use shrimp and pork for this part, but the chicken has a better flavor and a more tender texture, so Hao Dong finally used chicken thighs.

This step is a chopping word, and the test is the strength in the hand. Put the shrimp and chicken thighs together, at first the chicken thighs should be cut into small cubes, then chopped, after adding the shrimp, continue to chop, and add a certain amount of salt to taste. It is only possible to chop the whole meat puree until it has a gelatinous feeling.

Peeling quail eggs is a boring job, Qi Jue was a little distracted when he peeled them, and he couldn't help but start paying attention to Hao Dong's movements.

Just look at his arms that obviously look thin, holding a kitchen knife, but it seems to have a thousand strengths, but they can be retracted freely. The knife landed on the board, the sound was dull and regular, and the speed was extremely fast. The meat puree under the blade is still coarse from the beginning, and gradually becomes more and more delicate.

Hao Dong's chopping also has a certain pattern, from left to right. Gradually chop a pile of meat puree into a piece, and then the blade of the knife is picked up and turned under half of the meat puree, and then pulled to the middle of the cutting board, so that the meat puree becomes a relatively high pile again, and he continues the action just now.

The frequency of the knife is fast enough, and the force is strong enough, and the meat puree is completed quickly. Hao Dong took a bowl, moved all the finished products on the board into it, then added rice wine starch and salt, and stirred vigorously.

When he stirred it, Qi Jue finished peeling the quail eggs here.

Peeling quail eggs is often a headache and a hassle, because the eggshell is very thin and easily sticks to the egg whites, but water can't get rid of them. However, this kind of problem Qi Jue seems to have been born to know how to deal with it, he didn't take out the egg at all, he used his skill to pinch the eggshell in the water, and directly removed the shell with the buoyancy of the water.

Hao Dong was really surprised when he saw those quail eggs at a glance, and then found that Qi Jue actually peeled them in water, thinking that it was a pot of freshly boiled water, and immediately jumped to his throat nervously: "It's not burned, right?!" Show me quickly, or I'll go get a first aid kit first......"

Just as a temperature of dozens of degrees below zero will not have any effect on Qi Jue, the temperature within minus two hundred degrees will not cause him any harm, but Hao Dong has not had a chance to know.

Seeing the nervousness on the child's face, Qi Jue felt inexplicably quite useful, and saw that he was nervous for a while, and was already planning to go back to the room to get the first aid kit, before finally interrupting the other party: "It's okay, look." The water is already cold. ”

While speaking, he also made a few grasping movements to show Hao Dong to prove that his words were right.

Hao Dong glanced at him hesitantly, and checked it carefully. Under the two 40-watt bulbs in the backyard, the hands were indeed white and clean, and there was not even a single red mark.

He touched the pot again, feeling that it was still quite hot by his own standards. It seems that Xiao Qi Ye has a special physique, and it is really not something that ordinary people like him can speculate.
