Chapter 15: Ground pot catfish
The girl said that I was a "small-faced old lady", which may be purely an instinctive description, and only she understands the meaning, and as a layman, at most she thinks that this girl is joking with herself, and she will never care. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But it's a pity that we know the language of fireworks! Although I don't know much, I feel that it is enough to learn from this girl...... More talking.
So, I cleared my throat and pretended to tell the girl, "Little friend, what you just said...... It's the language of fireworks, right?"
Don't say it, after hearing my words, the little ghost immediately raised her eyes and was stunned, and then she replied with some surprise: "Do you know the Huogong language?!"
As soon as I saw the door, I quickly whipped up and said, "Not only do I know this, but I also know you, girl...... It's the Five Organs Temple!"
As soon as the three words of the Five Organs Temple came out, the girl immediately stretched out five onions, sealed my mouth, and stretched out the fingers of her other hand to make a silent gesture of "shhh".
She said to me mysteriously: "You be quiet, the wall has ears, I am now a private visit to Weifu, let outsiders know our identity, it will lead to death." ”
The girl's nervous words make me cry and laugh a little, the girl is the same as a martial arts movie, and she is also killed, completely ignoring the legal society, which is too funny.
But when they told me so seriously, we were embarrassed to refute anything, so I nodded and said I understood.
When the girl got my reply, she let go and said to me, "Which temple is in your temple? What lanterns are hanging in the shop?"
It's a little hard for me to say this.
I still have room to answer in the first half of the sentence, because I know that my "father" Huo Hailong, who has been dead for 70 years, is from the "Wuling Hall of the Five Organs Temple", and I also heard Zhao Haipeng say what kind of "Master's Palace" he is.
But when she asked me what lanterns were hanging in the store, I didn't know what to say.
Won't she see the lantern herself? Or is it some kind of code word, referring to some kind of information that is difficult to explain?
After thinking about it, I felt that it was better for me to make it up with a hard head, and told him that it was safer for me to be from the Master's Palace, because I had at least seen Zhao Haipeng's craftsmanship and methods, and she was not very good at catching blind when she asked carefully, as for what "lanterns" I hung in this hall, I felt that I could answer truthfully.
So I scratched my head and said, "I belong to the Master's Palace, what lantern do I hang here...... We don't hang lanterns. ”
As soon as I said this, I was met with a reaction that I didn't expect.
At this time, the girl suddenly stopped eating, her eyes widened, she took off her hat, and a delicate stunned, slightly open face leaked.
The girl is very beautiful, a small tiger tooth always leaks outside when she laughs or is stunned, and the peony flower-like coiled hair is behind her head, and a chopstick is inserted, giving me a capable feeling.
She looked at me from head to toe with a hint of horror on her face, but she quickly suppressed the state and became a little agitated.
Then, she stretched out her thumb and said: "It turns out that you don't hang lanterns in this shop! I admire it so much! I originally thought that your master's palace was full of hypocrites full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but I didn't expect that there would be such a fierce person as you who openly hostile society and moved against the tide! Yes, my sister is optimistic about you! You have a future!"
Looking at the girl's extremely complex expression, I felt that her reaction was too weird.
How can I go against the tide and become an enemy of society if I don't hang lanterns in my shop? This reactionary hat is too buttoned, or maybe there are many things in this lantern that I don't understand.
At that time, because of the scene, I didn't ask what was going on with this girl, but I later learned from Zhao Haipeng that the so-called lack of lanterns in the hotel actually meant "black shop" in the code words of the fireman!
Why? Because of the black shop, the black shop, there is no light in the natural black light blind fire, which is also the most taboo behavior and incision in the temple of the five internal organs.
Later, I thought about it, because of my nonsense, I dug a big hole for myself, and I jumped into it happily, and as a result, it caused me and Zhao Haipeng a lot of trouble.
Of course, I didn't understand these at the time, but when I saw that I had "passed", I immediately accepted it.
I hurriedly said that I was a new person to the temple, and I didn't understand a lot of the rules we had here, so it was inevitable that something would be wrong.
The girl didn't answer me directly, but first glanced at the pot catfish in the banquet between the old men of the tour group, and then said to me: "The cook you want to stay in is also from the Confucius Temple, and he has been worried about it lately, so he hasn't rested well." My right hand has been injured before, and now I have some sequelae. It hurts when it's windy and rainy, right?"
The girl's words were enough to make me dumbfounded.
Because...... She's right.
Zhao Haipeng has lived here for a few days, and he has indeed slept very late, because the cat spirit incident a few days ago made us all have a nervous breakdown, plus he seems to have something on his mind, he looks at the computer every day and makes calls, and the whole person does not turn off the lights at twelve o'clock.
I don't know if Zhao Haipeng was injured in his right hand, but I did see him smear safflower oil on his right arm on a rainy day, and it was not easy to think about that arm.
The girl was right in everything, and after this near-prophetic accuracy, I saw only this young girl the whole time...... Glancing at the catfish pot on the table opposite?
I turned around and looked around to confirm that Zhao Haipeng didn't come out at all, let alone let this little girl see it, and then I made it clear that this little sister was indeed the conclusion that she came to after only looking at the pot catfish.
A terrible thought popped into my head.
This...... Could it be that this is the ability of the people of the Five Organs Temple? They can see from the word "eating" that things are different from ordinary people, and they can even use food...... Catch ghosts and cure demons, cure diseases and harm people?
The people in these temples of the five internal organs...... Is it a cook, a Taoist priest, a secret agent, a doctor, or something else, a new profession that I don't quite understand?
In order to test my cranky hypothesis, I couldn't help but ask the girl "curiously": "Our cook does have so many problems, but how do you know that?"
The girl looked at me with disdain, and then said with a smug face: "Isn't this simple? ”
"Catfish?" I glanced back, and then replied rather incredulously, "I don't believe me, can you tell ......me more?" New entrants, long eyes. ”
As soon as the words came out, the little girl was happy, she nodded and said yes, but said on the condition that if she told me the truth, I had to give her a free bill.
Looking at the girl's slightly messy clothes, I knew that she must not have had a good time lately, and I am afraid that it was a long time before I said this.
Girls want to eat overlord meals, and I also invited this Yangzhou fried rice, so I immediately nodded and said yes.
After getting my promise, she pointed to the pot catfish and said that the production method of this fish dish is not complicated, after the preparation is completed, one frying and two stuffing are the most critical steps, frying is to make the fat catfish "spit oil", and at the same time charred on the outside and tender on the inside, stuffy for the fish to be cooked tightly, while retaining the umami.
Regardless of whether it is fried or stuffy, the most test is the mastery of the fire, and the best "window" time for the fish to get out of the pot is often about seven or eight seconds when the fire arrives.
After that seven or eight second window, the fish will get old, which will affect the taste. In less than that seven or eight second window, the fish will be tender and unflavorful. And this is the key to the success or failure of this dish.
Of course, Zhao Haipeng is an extremely professional chef of Lu cuisine, and Lu cuisine is known for controlling the heat, and is even known as "food in China, fire in Shandong", so the time he grasps the fire is absolutely as accurate as the rocket in the sky, whether it is fried fish or stuffed fish, he can make the catfish meat show a perfect golden yellow with his eyes closed, almost impeccable.
"But...... It's a pity!" The girl shook her head slightly and said: "The yellow one is still a little too much, and the color is slightly darker, which means that he has delayed a little from turning off the heat to putting it into the pot, and he is a second or two late, do you know what this means?"
I was dumbfounded, so I could only shake my head in confusion.
That's what the girl wanted, and then she pretended to be clever and said, "It's not simple? It means that this person is slow to react! He slowed down half a beat from turning off the heat to changing the pot, so that the fish pieces had a little more embers." ”
At this point, the girl solved the mystery and said: "You, a cook, have accurately judged the time of over-exceedance, but have not been able to fully coordinate your body movements, this person must be 'subconscious reaction delay'! Do you know under what circumstances people will be subconsciously slow to react? First, insomnia, and second, there is something in his heart! As for the injury on his arm, ......
The girl pointed to the heat in the pot and said to me: "The food has been much cooler from the beginning, and the explanation is slow, and now there are not many customers, but your chef is sick when he is loading the pot, and he is afraid that things will spill, so he is slower when picking up the fish pieces, so that more heat in the pot can escape." ”
After the girl finished speaking, the people present fell silent.
Even the old men, who were very old and had eaten countless delicacies, looked at this little girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old with admiration and surprise.
I have heard that in ancient times, there was a miracle doctor who could tell a person's age, male and female, and physical condition from the calligraphy written by a person. Looking at this girl's performance now, it is similar to that miracle doctor!
Moreover, this is just a teenage little girl in the Five Organs Temple.
Suddenly, I was full of yearning for the "organization" called the Five Organs Temple, and I was also full of interest in this little girl.
Huo Hailong is in the Wuling Hall of the Five Organs Temple, he used his life and a locust stick to deceive three evil ghosts and save my grandfather Zhang Sanhao.
Yin Wujia is in the White Dragon Hall of Sichuan cuisine, and he borrowed three cats for three years to cure his granddaughter's heart disease.
Zhao Haipeng is in the Confucius Hall of the Five Organs Temple, and he used three bowls of fishing vegetables and a big rooster to solve the evil spirits in my restaurant and save my life.
The little girl in front of her is also in the Five Organs Temple, and people just glanced at the pot catfish, and like a miracle doctor, she judged a person who had never met before, which was convincing.
So...... I couldn't help but wonder...... If I can also join the "organization" of the Five Organs Temple, which seems to have a lot to do with cooks, and learn a half-tricked "method" with these "gods", then ...... How hot is my hotel?
When the time comes, do I still need to be like this, frowning about finding a chef? Definitely not!
And the opportunity for me to join the Five Organs Temple is obviously in this self-righteous little girl with the temper of a bony lady!
If she makes good use of it, she will be my knocking brick!
