Chapter 254: Secret Fight
The master and apprentice drove the sword to the Red River, and when they passed through Erhai Lake, Wang Hao suddenly stopped, and quietly landed on the shore while there was no one in the dark night. This used to be the place where Wang Hao walked to Maicheng, Xingyu thought that he was sad, and comforted: "Master, Gongsun Lao Dog has been taken by you, how to deal with it is not up to you to like it, don't be sad." β
Wang Hao once ate whitebait in Erhai Lake, and still remembers it, passing by here, he deliberately stopped to try it, and when he heard the name of Gongsun Lao Gou, he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach, and said angrily: "Who is sad?" Am I that stingy? Dealing with alien beasts is also the alchemist's housekeeping skill, I'm here to test your knowledge, have you ever heard of silverfish? β
As a native of Yunnan, Xingyu certainly knows that whitebait, a small annual fish, must have nothing to do with alchemy, it is completely used to satisfy cravings, and it has to be sold on the edge of Erhai Lake, dozens of yuan a catty.
"Master, aren't you here to eat whitebait?" Xingyu was ridiculous, although she didn't want to go to Tuoba's house, she didn't expect the master to think about eating at such a time. However, he still obediently accompanied the master, looking for a stall selling whitebait.
The two of them walked along the shore, one was a fat man who did not look amazing, and the other was a beautiful woman, I don't know how many envious eyes they attracted, to be precise, it was jealousy. However, the fat man was obviously more interested in food, and after looking around, he finally found a family selling fish in a remote corner.
"Come here to eat?" Xingyu asked puzzled. There don't seem to be many people, but there are a few good stalls along the road, and according to common sense, places with a lot of people usually taste good. Most of the small shops that no one cares about have some problems, maybe they are a black shop.
The faΓ§ade is very small, and there is only one customer, an old man with a white beard. Leisurely pouring himself a drink, there was a plate of hibiscus whitebait in front of him, and it was the color and aroma that attracted the fat man.
Wang Haocai doesn't care if there are many people or how many people are small, he has eyes and nose, can't he judge whether it is good or bad? "Bring me a plate of hibiscus whitebait, too." Chubby fingers pointed to the old man's desk.
The boss is a white woman. In his thirties. Wearing a typical national costume is not pretty. But there is a unique style of a fisherwoman, hearing Wang Hao's request, he said with a difficult face: "We can also make hibiscus whitebait, but ~ that plate of whitebait is made by a customer, we can't make it, I'm really sorry." β
If it weren't for that plate of whitebait, the shop would not have been attractive. However, if it comes, it will be safe, Wang Hao sat lazily on the seat. said: "It's okay, I'm also going to cook it for free, just help me pick some whitebait." β
The boss met two strange customers in one day, doing business is for profit, as long as there is money to be made, no matter what his requirements are, it doesn't matter if the guests want to eat raw, and tell the worker to quickly weigh out half a catty of whitebait.
After a while, the kitchen was filled with the enticing aroma of the dishes. There is a faint smell of fish. There is a fresh egg aroma.
"Whitebait scrambled eggs!" Xingyu exclaimed. In her heart, she took this cooking as a competition, evaluating the dishes into color, aroma and taste.
In the first step of the competition, the master has the upper hand. In the second step, from the perspective of appearance, the hibiscus whitebait retains the true color of the fish, like a fragrant hibiscus flower. The scrambled eggs are golden in color. It's also appetizing, but the artistic conception is a little worse.
Wang Hao put the plate on the table and said in a low voice: "Actually, my best skill is not alchemy, but cooking, I was a cook before apprenticeship." β
Xingyu was amused and giggled, who didn't know the master's details, he ran out to apprentice at the age of ten, could he be a cook at the age of nine, but looking at the burnt whitebait, she didn't dare to deny it directly, the master's cooking skills, even compared with the first-class chef, are not inferior. Maybe the fat man learns alchemy and cooking at the same time, but both need to have fire anyway.
To distinguish the winner from the loser, unless you discern the last taste. But after all, this is not a competition, and no one can take the initiative to ask to taste the dishes cooked by others, not to mention that the purpose of tasting is to distinguish the winner from the loser, which makes people feel ridiculous when they think about it.
For a moment, a fashionable girl appeared in view, and along the way, stopped at two tables.
"What a fragrant whitebait." A girl twitches her cute little nose, and like the fat man, she is attracted by the scent.
Chances, the girl is coming for the scent. If she ordered a fish, it would naturally be the winner. Both dishes are made with whitebait, and they are both ordinary home-cooked dishes, so the competition is basically fair.
Not only the fat man and apprentice, but even the old man held his breath, and even the needle falling on the ground could be heard in the silence around him.
The girl didn't notice the strong smell of gunpowder, chewed gum in her mouth, and said without thinking about it: "One for each of these two fish, hurry up, we have to go out to sea to admire the moon." β
"Pig, I still want to eat two servings, and I'm not afraid to kill you." Wang Hao turned his head depressedly.
The owner was an honest man, and although the girl didn't mention it, he reminded her that the two dishes were made by the customers themselves, and there was no such skill in the shop.
The proprietor was almost going mad, she was not good at her craft, and the small shop was handed down by her father, so she could only run it reluctantly, and if she could, she would rather hire someone to be a cook. For those who are hungry, the temptation of good food is fatal, and the girls are reluctant to leave, because they do not smell the nostalgic aroma when passing by other restaurants.
I had to settle for the next best thing, and the girl regretted: "Then ask the boss to help me make these two dishes." β
The boss was relieved and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo, but after a while, he went and returned, and said with an embarrassed face: "I'm really sorry, the remaining whitebait is only enough to make another plate." β
Here's your chance again! The three of them pricked up their ears again, and whichever dish the girl ordered, that was the one she liked more. As an alchemist, the fat man is unique, no matter how high the level is, it can't be revealed, and he feels a little lonely. Cooking skills are completely different, if you can win in cooking, the sense of accomplishment is quite large, at least let the fat man steal the fun for half a month.
The girl is faced with a dilemma that is no less difficult than a married man's choice between his wife and his mother. After hesitating for a long time, his lips opened slightly. "Then I'd better have a light meal." The slender fingers eventually landed on the old man's table.
The strong sense of loss made Wang Hao extremely painful, as if he had been pushed into the bottomless abyss by his closest people, and he was confident that on the surface of the attraction, his whitebait scrambled eggs were definitely better than the old man's hibiscus whitebait. Perhaps the girl's ability to appreciate it is limited, and she is not qualified to judge the winner or loser.
Xingyu has always had no scruples, and in order to untie the knot in the master's heart, he stood up and walked to the girl's side and asked, "Can you tell me why you chose hibiscus whitebait instead of whitebait scrambled eggs?" I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious why, can you tell me? β
The girl explained embarrassedly: "Originally, I liked both dishes, but if I could only choose one of them, I would rather choose the lighter one, I don't want to eat fat." When it came to the word fat, her eyes subconsciously glanced at Wang Hao, the facts were clear at a glance, the old man who liked to eat hibiscus silverfish was tall, although he couldn't talk about fairy wind bones, he was still very temperamental, and his tall body was like a green bamboo. People who like to eat scrambled eggs with whitebait will end up like a fat man, and that fat body is even more terrible than death in the eyes of the girl.
In order to maintain her figure, the girl did everything, not to mention that she just ate one less dish of whitebait scrambled eggs, Xingyu made a grimace and returned to Wang Hao's side, and quipped: "I found out clearly, it turned out that she was afraid of getting fat, so she didn't eat whitebait scrambled eggs, and the master didn't lose." β
Wang Hao said seriously: "If you lose, you lose, if it's a good dish, the temptation is big enough to make her forget her figure." But then again, food should also take into account this factor, in fact, I am best at cooking strange beasts, that is called real delicious, you may not know, strange beasts often have a thousand strange medicinal effects, some strange beasts eat not only will not get fat, but also beautify the skin, shape the body, and even live a long life.
I forgot to lose weight during the catastrophe, the fat man thief's heart is not dead, and he started the idea of diet therapy, and when the words fell, he felt a soft breeze brushing by, which was a sign of the beaver action, prolonging life and life, is there anything more effective than the beaver brain? So this little thing slipped away first.
Basically, if you live with a fat person for a period of time, your awareness of self-protection will be enhanced.
The old man suddenly got up from his seat, his movements were not fast, but he couldn't see his old state at all, he turned his head to look at Wang Hao's master and apprentice and said, "When I'm older, I like to eat something light, hehe, I didn't expect the little girl to be okay." β
Wang Hao also smiled. "If you win, you win, why bother talking about it? Besides, you're not old, and you're relatively young of all the people I've met. β
The old man laughed. "I used a secret method to seal the true yuan, I thought it was foolproof, but you still saw it, and it was rumored that you were above the top and arrogant, so it seems that the rumors are not credible."
There are endless masters in the cultivation realm, and they are thousand-year-old monsters at every turn, and it is indeed a little weird for someone to come out and rely on the old and sell the old, but it is also certain that the old man is definitely not young.
Wang Hao did have a conflict with the old monster, and he also confronted the stone sparrow at the Kunlun Festival, but that was also due to personality, and it had nothing to do with arrogance, if no one provoked him, he would not mess around. Although the old man relied on the old man and sold the old, he made a big joke, but it didn't make people feel uncomfortable, the other party appeared here and now, obviously knowing his details, but he didn't mention Chen Xuan, the name of the little doctor fairy, and there was no old man who opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he was extremely old-fashioned, and the fat man couldn't find a chance to get mad.
"Don't mind taking a seat?" The old man picked up the plate and came to the table.
Wang Hao made a gesture of please, and after he sat down, he suddenly asked, "Are you from the Ximen family?" β
