Chapter 17: Eating Spells
Zhao Shuihe said that the development of the Five Organs Temple from the middle of the Qing Dynasty to the present, most of them are carried out by the big families that have been inherited for a hundred years, and these big families have been passed down from generation to generation, and many have accumulated hundreds, even thousands of years of rules and superstitions.

"Spell of Food?" I was surprised, and at the same time couldn't help but ask this Zhao Shuihe tentatively: "Do you know the method of gathering yin resentment? Is it a spell of food?"
Zhao Shuihe looked at me in surprise, nodded again and again, and said, "You even know this! It is worthy of the old lady who dares not to hang the lantern, it seems that I underestimate you." ”
Subsequently, the girl nodded and said that it was exactly what was in the White Dragon Temple of Sichuan cuisine, which harmed others and was not beneficial to herself......
After listening to Zhao Shuihe's words, my heart suddenly brightened a lot. At the same time, it also strengthened my confidence in joining the Five Organs Temple.
When I entered the Five Organs Temple, I would have come into contact with the oldest and top-notch "club" in Chinese cuisine! At that time, a master chef like Zhao Haipeng will definitely come into contact with a lot, and let's just learn a trick and a half to open a restaurant, which will be enough for me to eat for most of my life.
When he was talking, Zhao Shuihe's second Yangzhou fried rice was already ready, this little girl took the steaming rice, smelled it, nodded and said: "This is the craftsmanship of the chef of Lu Caifuzidian. What's your name as the temporary chef, I want to meet you!"
"Zhao Haipeng. I replied.
"Zhao Haipeng?" The little girl Zhao Shuihe slapped the table, opened her eyes and said to me: "Zhao Haipeng, who suffered a thousand knives in Zhaojialou, Lunan Province, is it?"
When the girl heard Zhao Haipeng's three words, her face suddenly realized and her expression was effortless, which really made me wonder if this product had some holiday or emotional crisis with Zhao Haipeng.
As soon as I saw this, I quickly asked, "Do you know him?"
The girl nodded and shook her head, and replied to me: "I don't know, but I've heard that the second leader of Zhaojialou in Lunan didn't go as a soldier...... Didn't expect to come back. ”
After listening to this girl's words, I suddenly remembered that her name was Zhao Shuihe, and she was also surnamed Zhao, and I had heard of Zhao Haipeng, which seemed to be a bit of a coincidence, so I couldn't help but guess: "Hey! This Zhao Haipeng...... It can't be your relatives, right?"
The little girl admitted calmly: "Yes, this Zhao Haipeng is my distant relative, and when it comes to seniority, I am still her grandmother!"
"Oh!" I said, and my heart was as happy as a flower.
As the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing, there is such a "grandmother" of the Zhao family with me, through her relationship, I will leave Zhao Haipeng invisibly and be a chef for me.
So, let's immediately go straight to the point and say: "I said, Grandma Zhao, do you have any good relationship to entrust, can you help me keep Zhao Haipeng? Come up with an idea? I will inevitably honor you when the time comes." ”
As I spoke, I made a gesture of counting the money.
Don't look at this Zhao Shuihe's bragging, but from the moment she entered my hotel, we have already seen her through, this little girl is dirty and old, her skin is dark, and she is gobbling up egg fried rice, I guessed that she must have been tight recently, and it is likely that she was a student who traveled and was accidentally deceived by someone and fell into trouble in Lubei.
I feel that with her heartless temperament, she can be considered lucky just by cheating her wallet, that is, she has recently cracked down and the law and order has improved a lot, so she still has the life to sit here and eat.
After listening to my words, Zhao Shuihe was really induced by my action of counting money, and she first said to me: "I can help you, but you remember one thing, whether it works or not, I ...... If you ask for 1,000 yuan in labor fees, you have to buy me a mobile phone! ”
I nodded in agreement, and at the same time knew in my heart that this girl was really in trouble, not only lost her wallet, but also lost her phone!
Seeing that I agreed, the girl made another condition: "In addition, if I leave Zhao Haipeng with you as a chef...... You've got to hire me, too! Let me be a white case for you for half a year, give me ...... Get paid!"
Zhao Shuihe's request is a bit fresh, I want her to be a little girl, and she asked me to buy cosmetics, or buy a train ticket to send home, which is a more reasonable request, but she wants to stay in my not too big hotel to be a white case master, which is really incomprehensible.
What kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd?
So, I tentatively asked, "That...... Where is your home? Don't you need to call your family back first to report your safety?"
Hearing my suggestion, the little girl rolled her eyes, and then shook her head and said, "No! That family doesn't even have anyone to talk to me, what are you going to do when you go back? I want them to see that I, Zhao Shuihe, can stand on the world with my own ability! I don't need to eat my father's and mother's food! I don't need my brother who has suffered a thousand knives to be pitiful!"
After speaking, the little girl slapped the table again, looking angry.
Looking at his performance, I probably guessed the origin and origin of this child.
Presumably Zhao Shuihe is youth rebellious period has arrived, and he has to hide from his parents to go out to practice, but he didn't expect the horse to stumble, and he lost his money in Lunan, and he didn't have the face to go back, so he ate and drank everywhere, and at the same time hoped to use his skills in Wuvisamiao Middle School to find a job and prove himself.
Seeing that Zhao Shuihe was angry, it was estimated that he couldn't ask anything superfluous, so I pressed her matter for the time being, and listened intently to her how to leave Zhao Haipeng for me.
Zhao Shuihe, this little girl, after a slight positive color, told me: "If you want to keep Zhao Haipeng, you have to inherit the rules of our Five Organs Temple, Zhao Haipeng is the second head of the Zhao family in the Confucius Temple in Lunan, these people have been taught stupid by Sage Confucius, and they value loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness more than anything else, so you can use the 'law of retribution' to keep him!"
"What does the law of retribution mean?" I was stunned.
"Oh! Your master is really illiterate!" Zhao Shuihe said impatiently: "The first of the three laws and three strict rules of the Five Organs Temple is the law of retribution, so that if there is a favor owed by others, it must be repaid, and if you want to let a cook of the Five Organs Temple listen to you, the best way is to let him owe you a favor!"
When Zhao Shuihe said this, I thought of Yin Wujia.
I estimate that this Zhao Haipeng must owe Yin Wujia some huge favor, so he had to listen to Yin Wujia's words, come to me to block the evil for me, solve the cat's resentment, he blocked the evil, and repaid the favor, so this is the real reason why he wants to go.
Thinking about this, I also understand that if you want to keep Zhao Haipeng, you really have to do the same as Zhao Shuihe said, let Zhao Haipeng bear my personal debt, and then repay me.
But...... It's too difficult, isn't it?
Zhao Haipeng doesn't owe me anything, we didn't even have any intersection before Yin Wujia died, he will leave in a few days, and it is unlikely that he owes me any great affection in such a short time.
After thinking about it, I feel that Zhao Shuihe's words are equivalent to saying in vain.
In despair, I said, "What you say makes sense, but ...... Zhao Haipeng doesn't owe me a favor. ”
"That's not a problem!" Zhao Shuihe said in an extremely low voice, "You can create an opportunity for him to pinch you." ”
"Opportunity, what opportunity?" I asked.
Zhao Shuihe's face became gloomy, she squinted her eyes, smiled evilly, looked left and right, and after a while, she stretched out her hand and took out a small bag from her pocket.
He opened the bag and showed me a spice called star anise.
"Do you know what this is?" Zhao Shuihe said this, his face was almost on my nose.
Although the water lotus is quite tender, I am not used to a person with a gloomy face being so close to me, so I quickly stepped back a foot, opened my mouth and replied: "Meat star anise! ”
"Wrong!" Zhao Shuihe took out one, put it in her spoon and handed it to me, let me look at it carefully, and then explained: "This thing is called ghost anise, the scientific name is mangcaozi, it looks similar to star anise spices, but in fact it is highly poisonous! It has no taste, people eat too much, it will produce central nervous system excitement, and then epilepsy, death." In terms of appearance, there is a significant difference between it and the star anise, that is, the number of petals of this thing is mostly about ten pieces, which is a lot more than the star anise with only eight petals!"
With Zhao Shuihe's words, I realized that the things in her spoon were indeed a few more pieces than the star anise, and the appearance was much rougher than the star anise.
Looking at the highly poisonous poison in Zhao Shuihe's hand, I was really a little afraid of this girl, so with this apprehension, I asked puzzledly: "Why do you carry the poison with you?" Does this have anything to do with me leaving Zhao Haipeng?"
"Of course there is!" Zhao Shuihe said proudly and told me a plan.
According to her idea, I was first asked to boil the poison called the seed of mangweed, and then leave it in a small glass bottle for later use. The water boiled by this thing is a highly poisonous liquid, and it is colorless and odorless.
After the tasteless mangcao juice was prepared, I casually found an excuse to go to the restaurant outside to invite Zhao Haipeng to dinner, and when the time came, I put the poisonous juice into the dish and let him eat it while he was not carrying it.
When Zhao Shuihe said this, I looked at this vicious little girl in amazement, and sighed from the bottom of my heart...... Does she have worms in her head?
I want chef Zhao Haipeng, not the dead Zhao Haipeng, I have such a search idea, do you think we don't live long enough? Or does she want to borrow a knife to kill someone?
Because this idea is too ridiculous, we quickly stopped her and said, "Sensei, I don't want to live in prison in the next life!"
"Hey, I'll tell you. Zhao Shuihe interrupted me impatiently: "Besides, you don't even dare to hang the lantern, you're still afraid of this!"
As she spoke, she told me what she was going to do next.
