Chapter 053: The Old Man's Condition
When I walked into the house of the old man with the triangular eye, I saw that it was very clean.
A horse lantern hung from the roof, burning not as if it were kerosene, but something else, emitting a bright white light that illuminated every corner of the house and illuminated the spotless floor.
In the center of the floor of the room, there is a square black walnut table.
The old man walked to the table, sat down, motioned for Li He to sit opposite, looked at Li He with a shaking of his eyebrows and asked, "Oyin sent you here, what do you want to ask?" From the moment we met, I could see that there was a strong death aura wrapped around you, could it be that you are asking yourself about the time of death? ”
Rich and dead? This is in line with the information given in the Obscura Poloon, and according to the images shown by the Obscura Polo, he is indeed not far from death. However, he didn't throw in the towel so easily.
Looking at the old man, Li He said loudly: "Death, don't bother you, I know, two days later." ”
The triangular-eyed old man breathed sluggishly, and his eyes narrowed: "Huh? You even know? "A little surprised.
After that, he took a deep breath and asked, "So what exactly do you want to ask?" ”
"I'm not here, I'm chasing someone here, and I want to know where the person is now. Also, I have a few companions with me, now separated, and I want to know where. Li He asked his own question.
"Is that so?" The triangular-eyed old man sneered when he heard this, "I thought it was a problem, but it turned out to be this, too simple." ”
"And where are they?"
"Don't worry, boy." The triangular-eyed old man showed a sly smile, "You should have heard what I said to that guy just now, but there is a price for me to answer the question, and you need to satisfy me first." ”
"So what is your price? How to make you satisfied? Li He asked, slightly mentioning in his heart.
"You know that ugly-looking guy is actually a cook, right?"
"Yes."
"Then how do you think a cook can satisfy me?"
"Cooking?" Li He's heart relaxed a little.
"That's right." The old man with triangular eyes patted lightly on the table, "If you want me to answer the question, you have to cook for me." ”
Stretching out his hand and pointing to a small wooden door next to it: "There is the kitchen, you can find any ingredients and utensils you want, make me a delicious dish, and I will tell you the answer." ”
It's that simple?
Li He asked out loud: "Then what do you want to eat?" ”
"What is this...... the old man with triangular eyes pondered, and gave an answer calmly for a moment, "If I had to choose any of them, I would choose Buddha jumping over the wall and inlaid with silver buds." ”
When Li He heard this, he instantly had the urge to slap the old man in front of him on the table.
Buddha jumping over the wall and inlaid with silver sprouts are extremely troublesome dishes.
Among them, the Buddha jumping over the wall needs to be simmered with abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, hoof tendons, mushrooms, cuttlefish, scallops and other ingredients, adding broth and old wine. From beginning to end, there are not a few days that are not at all, and if it is a traditional method, it will take even longer.
It is rumored that a high-ranking figure in ancient times wanted to eat meat but had bad teeth, and the chef thought hard to create a dish. You need to remove the head and tail of the bean sprouts, hollow out the bean sprouts with an embroidery needle, beat the chicken into a puree and add seasoning to taste, use an embroidery needle with white thread to pass through the minced meat, and inlay the minced meat into the bean sprouts with the help of embroidery needles and white thread.
Aside from the troubles, neither of these dishes is Jeju cuisine that he is good at.
With his master-level Jeju cooking skills, he has a thorough knowledge of other cuisines. But when it comes to making it, it's definitely not as handy as Jeju cuisine.
Li He glared at the old man for a few seconds, and said loudly: "Shrimp before the rain, casserole Sandan." ”
"Huh?" The old man was stunned and reacted that Li He was bargaining with him.
The expression on his face was a little dissatisfied: "Shrimp before the rain, casserole Sandan?" Hmph, you asked me for food...... At least add a bag of chicken! ”
"......" Li He was silent for a long time and said loudly, "A taste of tofu." ”
"You...... Okay. The old man compromised, much simpler than Li He expected.
Seeing the old man compromise, Li He didn't say anything, stood up and walked into the kitchen that the old man was referring to, and found that what the old man said was not exaggerating, there were all kinds of ingredients and kitchen utensils, and compared with Oyin's kitchen, there were not many concessions.
He began to cook.
At this time, the old man with the triangular eyes stood at the door, not knowing what he thought, and said loudly: "Actually, I can tell you part of the answer before you make the dish." The man you were chasing, who came here, barely stopped, and left...... As for your companions, they are now trapped, and even if you know where they are, it will be difficult to save them. ”
"So, you'd like to add another dish?" Li He glanced at it.
"Clever boy." The old man praised, "You help me cook one more dish, and I will tell you not only where the person you are chasing has gone, but also how to rescue your companions, and let you get out of this strange place safely, and return to the place where you came." How's that, it's a good deal, right? ”
"So, what dish do you want to add?"
"Buddha jumps over the wall, or inlaid with silver buds." The old man still remembered these two dishes.
Li He said directly angrily: "Sweet and sour tenderloin." ”
"Hibiscus Chicken Slices."
"Fillet."
"Shili Ginkgo."
“……”
“……”
After some tugging, it was finally decided to add a dish of warm mandarin fish fillet.
Li He quickly cooked.
……
After a short time, the cooking ends.
Before the rain, the four dishes of shrimp, casserole sandan, Yipin tofu, and warm mandarin fish fillet were all served on the table, and Li He also cooked a white fungus soup to make four dishes and one soup.
The old man with the triangle eyes was not in a hurry to taste it immediately, first rinsed his mouth with a bowl of water to remove the miscellaneous taste in his mouth, then sat down at the table, took out a pair of silver chopsticks, sandwiched the four dishes in turn and sent them into his mouth to chew and swallow carefully, and finally drank the soup.
After tasting it, he nodded his head, showed a satisfied expression, and looked at Li He and said: "Yes, very good, I didn't expect that although your kid is young, the dishes he makes are already on par with that guy." ”
"And what do I ask?"
"Of course, I can tell you that I always do what I say." The triangular-eyed old man put down the silver chopsticks, showed a serious expression, and spoke.
"First question, you want to know where the chasing person has gone? He has returned to where you came from, and it is easy to find him, and in a day and night, he will appear near the first person with whom you have been connected. ”
The first person to make the association? Li He's eyes flashed, and he instantly thought of Meng Ling. It was precisely because Meng Ling was admitted to the hospital that he experienced the first treacherous incident, and he could be regarded as having a connection with Shen He, the mastermind behind the scenes, and had a series of things later.
Speaking of which, after the first treacherous incident, Meng Ling and the rest of the patients in his hospital were transferred to the rest of the hospitals, and he also understood some time ago, as if Meng Ling was still being treated and was not discharged.
If a day and night, that is, twenty-four hours later, Shen He would appear near Meng Ling, it would be easy to find.
He nodded at the old man, in understanding.
The old man continued.
"Second question, you want to know where your companion is? It's simpler, get out of my door, turn right out of three streets, turn right out of three streets, turn right out of three streets, turn right out of three streets, and finally turn right out of three streets, and you can see them. ”
"Turn right, turn right, turn right, turn right?" Li He raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Didn't you walk back here?" ”
