Chapter 42: The stunt of eating live fish
Huang Dexing raised his eyebrows angrily: "Get out of here!" It's all your business? Salty radish light worry! The grudge between me and Old Man Xue has a Mao relationship with you? Huang Dexing squinted his eyes and said viciously: "When we came to the competition today, we all agreed in advance, there is an appointment first, and you will drink five glasses of wine after your sweet and sour fish is cooked, but the big guys have seen it, and there is no movement after only swallowing three glasses." I am willing to gamble and lose, and if I lose, I must fulfill the agreement. From today on, I am the chief disciple of Old Man Xue, so that imperial fan will naturally belong to me. It's a matter of course! ”
It turned out that this Huang Dexing coveted the royal fan in the hands of Old Man Xue, so he thought of such a way to snatch it up.
That live fish eaten alive Noah knows, the most exquisite is a chef's skillful skills. Fresh fish out of the fastest process, after changing the knife, wrap the fish head with a soaked towel to prevent damage, and then put the fish body with the paste into the hot oil to fry, and pour the juice from the pot. The fish's mouth is still open and closed, lifelike. At this time, pour a very low degree of plum wine into the mouth of the fish, and the fish can still swallow without destroying the deliciousness of the fish.
It's easy to say, but in fact, this dish is the most important test of the chef's knife skills, as well as the mastery of oil temperature and heat. If the oil temperature is too high, the skin is crispy and the meat does not leave the bones, and if the oil temperature is too low, the fish will be dying, and there will be no name for live fish to eat. It is said that the cooking skills of old man Xue who are rumored to be miraculous should be a piece of cake.
"You are obviously doing tricks and feet in the oil pot, Huang Dexing, you can't win such a competition!" Old man Xue snorted angrily.
"What if I do it? As a decades-old chef, you can't feel the temperature of this oil, what kind of imperial chef do you deserve? ”
Nuoya asked the people around her what was going on, and an aunt next to her pointed to a hot pot outside the crowd and said: "This Huang Dexing has bad intentions when he comes today, provoking everywhere, forcing Master Xue to stand up for all of us, and then coldly provoked each other, set a trap, and induced Master Xue to agree to this gamble." said that if Master Xue wins, he will never come up to the Jade Ding Festival to make trouble in the future, and if he loses, Master Xue will agree to accept him as an apprentice.
Master Xue couldn't get angry, so he should come down in one gulp. I don't know what tricks Huang Dexing used, Master Xue's lively fish was thrown into the boiling oil pot, but there was no reaction, and even the hanging batter was depulped. Seeing that the situation was not good, Master Xue hurriedly picked up the fish and fried it in an oil pot where he was frying rice and flour fruits, and then it was formed, but the fish was no longer fresh enough. Naturally, he lost the competition, and was grabbed by Huang Dexing and asked for the royal fan in his hand. ”
Noah turned his head to look at the oil pot, and now the firewood below was not extinguished, and the oil pot was still churning and smoking.
She walked closer, raised her nose and sniffed lightly, stretched out her hand to probe the temperature of the oil above, and suddenly realized in her heart that this was the usual trick used by the warlocks to deceive people "fishing for copper coins in an oil pot", and the bottom of the pot was not oil, but vinegar. As soon as it is heated, the vinegar begins to bubble and the oil on it looks like it is boiling away, but the temperature is not high. Master Xue clearly fell for other people's calculations, because he was in a hurry and was negligent for a while, so he was exploited.
In the field, the more Master Xue talked, the more angry he became, and finally he came up with a stubborn temper, blowing his beard and glaring, and he wanted to burn all the jade.
"You want me to take you as an apprentice? Those who are not right-minded, don't even think about it, even if I chop off my hand today, I won't agree. ”
As soon as Old Man Xue raised his hand, he raised the kitchen knife in his hand. Provoked a burst of exclamations from the crowd!
The thug next to him was also quick-eyed, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and snatched the kitchen knife in his hand with a little force! The heart suddenly rose to his throat, and everyone in his eyes breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old thing, toast and don't eat and drink, even if you chop off your hands and feet today, this apprentice will also be accepted, and I don't need you to teach you any cooking skills, what do you do with that hand?"
One sentence provoked the anger of the crowd again, and a crusade and scolding suddenly broke out in the crowd: "Brute! ”
"Wolf heart and dog lungs!"
"Ungrateful!"
"Why didn't Old Man Murong kill you with one palm?" An old woman also hated and accused.
Originally, in the face of everyone's accusations, Huang Dexing was still complacent and didn't care at all, but the old woman's words annoyed him, and a sharp eye knife killed him, and said fiercely: "Who dares to say a word to Murong Cheng in front of me again, don't blame me Huang Dexing is welcome!" ”
The resentful look in Noya couldn't help but look at it, and the old woman immediately stopped.
"Haha, it turns out that you, Huang Dexing, are so afraid of Murong Cheng, even if he has been dead for so many years, he doesn't dare to mention it." Old man Xue smiled heartily, adding fuel to the fire.
"Who said I was scared?" Huang Dexing was obviously already a fierce inward, but he still shouted: "The fate of his Murong Cheng is the retribution of those who oppose me!" ”
The crowd scolded again, but the voice was much lower.
Huang Dexing seems to be just a ruffian hooligan, and Nuoya doesn't understand why the people of Handan City are so jealous of him.
Huang Dexing glanced around proudly, and turned to face Old Man Xue: "How about it, Old Man Xue, obediently hand over the imperial fan in your hand?" Otherwise, I'm going to get stiff. ”
Old man Xue took a step back, took out a fan wrapped in yellow satin from his arms, removed the yellow silk outside, unfolded it, and snorted coldly at Huang Dexing: "If you want this fan, hum, even if I tear it up today, I won't give it to you!" ”
After speaking, I will tear the fan in my hand!
The crowd exclaimed again: "Master Xue, you can't tear it!" ”
Noah was also shocked in his heart, and deliberately tore up the royal gift, although it was said that it was a last resort, but it was also a capital crime to turn around!
Why is this old man so weird-tempered? It doesn't look like an iron rooster that doesn't pull out a hair, does it?
Without hesitation, she pulled down a piece of rice and flour fruit from the basket in the hand of the old woman next to her, flicked her fingers, and landed right on Old Man Xue's wrist. Old man Xue's wrist was numb, and he suddenly let go.
Nuoya walked out of the crowd unhurriedly and pouted at Master Xue: "I said that you old man, your temper is really weird, it's just stinky, hard and greedy for money." It's just a fan, people like it, kowtow to you, worship the teacher, and give someone a meeting gift? As for such a stingy bara, he is chopping his hands and looking for death and life, and he would rather tear it up than give it to others? ”
Huang Dexing, who was on the side, suddenly smiled, and nodded again and again: "That's it, this little brother is right." ”
Old man Xue's hands stiffened, and he suddenly turned his head to look at her, staring at her face for a long time, the fire in his eyes couldn't wait to bake her into black charcoal, and his temperament was really big.
The people on the side were not happy when they heard Nuoya slander Master Xue like this, they might still have a trace of jealousy in their hearts for a two-skinned dog like Huang Dexing, and they didn't want to provoke them, for a strange foreigner, where would they be polite, pointing at her is scolding: "Where did this Huangkou child come from, I don't know the specific reason for it, I'm talking nonsense here!" ”
There are even more unbearable insults. Old man Xue just looked at her without saying a word, his lips pursed tightly.
Nuoya was not in a hurry, turned around and said to Huang Dexing: "You are also a little unreasonable, you are no different from bandits, no wonder you are not popular in Handan City." ”
Huang Dexing originally thought that Lin Nuoya was helping him speak, but he didn't expect her to turn around and start accusing herself again, and he was suddenly a little unhappy: "I said that you are not stupid?" Each hit three mallets, and the two sides do not fall well. Which side are you heading? Why am I being unreasonable? ”
Nuoya pointed to the sweet and sour fish made by Master Xue: "This fish, like people, the amount of wine is divided into three, six, nine and so on, you said that people will get drunk after three cups, you have to pour five cups for others, don't say that you can't drink it, it's good if you don't spit it out." ”
The crowd was stunned, and Huang Dexing was also amused: "It's the first time I've heard such a fallacy in my life." ”
Noya shook her head seriously: "That's just your loneliness, make this live fish live and eat, if you pick a fish with a large amount of wine, don't say three or five cups, that's a thousand cups without getting drunk, and it's no problem to drink ten or twenty cups." ”
Huang Dexing rubbed his chin and glared at Noah with a pair of unfathomable eyes: "I can see it, you came to smash the field today, didn't you?" These fish grew up drinking water, and I've never heard of drinking alcohol. As we all know, this best craft can drink up to eight cups, can you pour me ten cups? ”
Noah smiled "grin", walked to the bucket containing the live fish, and glanced at it: "Coincidentally, there is one in this bucket, and today it will open your eyes, what is called 'drunk eight immortals in fish'." ”
Huang Dexing's doglegs just laughed. Wong felt that his authority had been challenged, and ridiculed her: "If you can make this fish today, I will be convinced!" ”
"Master Xue's affairs are also written off?" Noah upped the stack.
Huang Dexing glanced at the stubborn old man, nodded happily, and then pointed to the basin of oil: "The premise is to use the current tools, not to use other people's." ”
This is seeing Noah's confident appearance and feeling weak, so he consciously added another condition.
Noah nodded disapprehantly: "Deal!" ”
The old man Xue behind him was not happy: "What can you do, can't you see that there is a cat in that pot of oil?" ”
Noah grinned, "Old man, you're fine." ”
She rolled up her sleeves, pretended to pick left and right from the barrel, and picked up a fish of moderate size, but wilting: "This fish is listless, and at first glance it is an old drunkard, so it's it." ”
The crowd booed again, and Huang Dexing became more and more proud, recognizing that Noah was just humiliating himself.
"Old man Xue, borrow the kitchen knife in your hand?"
These people all looked at Lin Nuoya with disdain, but Old Man Xue saw the doorway, the fish selected by Nuoya was just the right size, and the fish had clear eyes and bulging cheeks, which was the best way to make live fish and eat it alive.
