Chapter 16 The best swimmer in Tongtian Town is actually a cook?

It is said that Zhu Bajie was sitting in front of the suitcase, chatting with Ryoma boredly, and suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance.

He hurriedly rolled over and climbed up, grasping the nine-tooth nail rake in his hand.

"it, youkai?"

"Second Senior Brother, don't panic, it's Master! The master took the senior brother and rushed back. ”

"Earlier, it scared me."

Zhu Bajie hid the nail rake, turned around and continued to lie down.

Tang Sanzang ran extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was already close at hand.

"Bajie, Wukong, pack your luggage and run away!"

Tang Sanzang rode on the dragon horse and said hurriedly.

Zhu Bajie looked at Sun Wukong with an inquiring look, but found that the latter was still confused.

So he no longer hesitated, hurriedly took the purple bamboo that he had prostituted from Guanyin in the South China Sea, picked up his luggage, and followed closely behind Tang Sanzang's dragon horse.

After running like this for two days and one night, I finally left the Gobi Desert and came to a ferry.

The three masters and apprentices seemed to have been carved out of the same mold, and their faces were covered with dust.

The three men stood in the street, out of place with the neatly dressed crowd.

Tang Sanzang looked up, and there was a well-decorated inn in front of the left.

"Let's go, let's stay!"

He smoked Huazi and led the two apprentices in.

This is the most high-end inn in the region.

The shopkeeper is a snob, and the cousin is also very temperamental.

Fortunately, the quality of the dishes is excellent, and the flavor of the wine is unique, which supports the daily use of this inn.

Otherwise, just the service attitude of this hard state would have been closed long ago.

Originally, seeing the sloppy clothes of Tang Sanzang and his party, the shopkeeper was ready to blast them out.

Helplessly, the silver he gave was too much.

"Third master, this is the best room in the store, please."

The shopkeeper is so diligent that he seems to be serving his parents, and that kind of affection is so much!

I can't help them carry their shoes.

Tang Sanzang took a turn in this so-called Tianzi room and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, this room is okay!"

It's not just improvisation, it's quite improvised!

On this westward journey, I have never seen a more luxuriously decorated house.

"Master, if you like it! I'm going to order someone to get you a hot bath! ”

The shopkeeper led Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong to the two rooms on the left and the right, and said the same thing, and then hurriedly went downstairs.

The shopkeeper was settling accounts behind the counter, and one of the hallmen ran down and hurriedly closed the account book.

"How?"

"It's done, it's done!" The cousin wiped the beads of sweat on his head with a towel, and smiled all over his face, "It is indeed a master who is not bad for money, and he is generous to the money thief, and he doesn't even look at it." ”

After speaking, the hall man handed over the reward money given by Tang Sanzang to the shopkeeper.

Looking at the white silver ingots on the counter, the shopkeeper's eyes were bent into crescents.

This silver is full of weight, and the fineness is good!

The shopkeeper hurriedly took out the silver scale and weighed it.

No more, no less, just ten taels!

This silver is taken to the government to exchange, not to mention that it can be exchanged for twelve taels of silver!

It's a full twelve taels, which is almost enough to catch up with a whole year's salary!

"Hurry! Good wine and good food will be served, don't neglect the guests! ”

"Well, voila!"

The cousin lifted the curtain and walked into the back kitchen.

The shopkeeper quietly wiped the silver ingot with his sleeve, and bit it with his mouth, still not at ease.

He pulled out a knife, cut a small piece from the silver ingot, and leaned in front of his eyes to observe the incision.

It took a while for an old father's smile to appear on his face.

This silver ingot was put into a money bag by him.

The words were divided into two ends, and the cousin here went to the back kitchen and shouted at the big man with a beard on his face: "Lao Sha, hurry! A few more hard dishes! ”

"Hard dishes?" Dahan sneered, "The stones in the quicksand river are hard enough, right?" ”

"You ......" the cousin was angry for a while, but he had to persuade him with good words, "Lao Sha, I have a big customer today!" If you make them happy, will the shopkeeper lose your reward? ”

The bearded man was silent, bowing his head and smoking a dry cigarette.

The cousin had no choice but to keep persuading softly.

It's been a long time, and I'm really tired of this big man.

He waved his hand and said, "There is a way that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!" Look at this kitchen, all that is prepared is ordinary shredded meat, vegetables and fruits, not even a single fish. How do you ask me to make hard dishes? ”

"Lao Sha, it's hard to get others in this matter, can it be difficult to get you? Let's Tongtian Town, when it comes to swimming, who would dare to be the first? The quicksand river is so wide, it's just a big fish, what's so difficult for you? ”

After a round of sycophants, it was really comfortable to slap this bearded man, and he nodded and smiled proudly.

"Then you boil the water for me, you have to boil! When I have a stick of incense, I will definitely come back! ”

With that, he slammed the door and walked out.

The cousin rolled up his sleeves, walked to the stove with ease, and squatted on the small bench to make a fire.

After less than a cup of tea, the bearded man came back wet.

Holding a few fat big fish in his hand, look at the head, the smallest one weighs seven or eight pounds!

"Lao Sha, you're fast enough!"

Can you not be happy, the pot of water has not yet boiled, and Lao Sha will come back.

"It takes a while to kill fish."

Lao Sha lowered his head, put the fish on the board, grabbed a boning knife in his hand, and unloaded the fish into pieces with three strokes and five divisions.

This fish is also interesting, except for a large stinging bone, there are no more fish bones on its body.

After a few more brushes, these fish were dealt with in turn.

One steamed, one braised and one stewed.

The youngest one was chopped up to make fish meatballs.

The largest one is deboned and peeled, and the most delicious fish is thinly sliced and eaten raw with dipping sauce.

Let's work!

The front and back are only half of the incense, and a large table of fragrant whole fish feast is ready.

The cousin broke Lao Sha a few words, called a few handymen to join him, and carried the whole fish banquet to their guest room.

At this time, Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice had almost just finished bathing, wearing spacious robes, gathering in a bunch of smokes and chatting, so happy!

The vermilion lacquer door creaked open, and the cousins and handymen worked together to bring this rare whole fish feast to the table.

"Damn, this Nima! Heifer flies, it's awesome! ”

The scene in front of me was particularly shocking.

Rao is Tang Sanzang is well-informed, and he couldn't help but burst into foul language.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please use it slowly!"

As soon as he saw Tang Sanzang's expression, he immediately knew that this was a stable situation.

Tang Sanzang was not polite, and directly picked up the chopsticks and ate a mouthful.

Suddenly, the fresh aroma of the fish exploded in his mouth, and he almost screamed.

He pulled out a silver ingot, "Who made this fish?" ”

"Our new back kitchen." The cousin's eyes were hot, and he told the truth like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, "A big man with a beard is very watery!" We haven't seen anyone in Tongtian Town who can drink water better than him. ”

"Oh? So what does he call it? ”

Tang Sanzang grabbed the chopsticks with one hand, grabbed the fish and meat with the two apprentices, and asked vaguely.

"He's a stuffy gourd, and he doesn't talk much. I can't remember the name...... But we all call him Lao Sha. ”

"Lao Sha?" Tang Sanzang was shocked, but no expression appeared on his face.

He looked very interested in these dishes, "In that case, then he should also take a reward." Trouble the little second brother to go to the back kitchen and invite him to come here. ”
