Demon in the world

After Du Shiwei came back from advanced studies, her whole image was completely new. The slightly curled ear-sticking short hair replaced the long waist-length hair. She was wearing a slightly transparent white shirt, which was sexy yet handsome, and the black linen cropped trousers looked neat and refreshing.

What a beauty, Ah Jiu couldn't help gossiping, but why is she still alone?

He paid special attention during the morning meeting, except for Master Yu, almost all the chefs present were staring at him.

Du Shiwei seemed to have gotten used to the admiration of everyone, and said calmly: "The others are gone, Ah Jiu will come with me to the office."

When she arrived at the office, she took out a box from her bag and handed it to Ah Jiu. It was a handcrafted Chinese-style metal kitchen. Although it was only 10cm long and wide, it contained a lot of miniature cooking tools such as pots, pans and spoons.Opening the movable blue roof, Ah Jiu also found that these parts are magnetically adsorbed, and can be arranged according to one's own preferences, and even taken out for viewing and playing.

Ah Jiu happily said, "Is this what Master gave me?"

Du Shiwei said: "Otherwise? This can be regarded as a reward for your hard work in the past three months."

"I finish the homework assigned by Master on time every day!" He proudly showed off like a child.

"Don't be complacent, I'll come to check the results right away. Go and see what ingredients are in the refrigerator in the small kitchen, and then make me any dish." Du Shiwei winked at Ah Jiu while talking, "There are still other things to do well. Reward."

Ah Jiu said anxiously: "Then what if it can't be done well?"

"Boys can't be without self-confidence," Du Shiwei's expression darkened immediately, "What's more, how can my apprentice fail to cook satisfactory dishes?"

When she said this, Ah Jiu suddenly felt a big stone on her heart.

Although he has practiced a lot of basic skills these days, it is really difficult for him to cook dishes without any propositions.

The small kitchen is isolated separately for the chefs to develop special dishes, and most of the time it is empty and there are no people.

Ah Jiu opened the refrigerator and took a look. The vegetables and meat were fresh, and the ingredients were all complete.

He weighed it in his heart, and finally chose the simplest cabbage to fry.

There are two reasons: the first is because the techniques required for frying green vegetables are relatively simple, as long as the heat and time are well controlled, there is no big problem.Second... Du Shiwei only taught him basic skills, but never asked him to cook a complete dish.

After the menu is determined, the next step is to choose the ingredients. Although it is just a simple vegetable, there are good and bad.

Good vegetable stalks and leaves should have an absolute golden ratio of 1:1.5, and the leaves should be verdant and verdant, free from rot and wormholes.Vegetable stalks are even more important. If they are too old, they will not taste good, and if they are too tender, they will not stand the fire.

Because it was just for tasting, Ah Jiu carefully selected five trees in accordance with the principle taught by Master Cai not to waste.After carefully tearing off the leaf petals, rinse them in clean water. Use a knife to cut the stems into small pieces about two fingers wide. The leaves are slightly longer, and cut them three fingers wide.

Cut young ginger and old garlic into thin slices and set aside, then wash and preheat the iron pan and dry it horizontally, then pour in golden rapeseed oil.

After the oil temperature rises to nine maturity, Ah Jiu pours the vegetable stalks into it and stir-fries quickly. After the green stalks are soft, add the vegetable leaves and continue to stir quickly. Finally, add salt and a little sugar in turn.

Although stir-fried vegetables look simple, the heat requirements are very strict.

It must be stir-fried over high heat to lock out the aroma of the vegetables and keep the color green. At the same time, be careful of overcooking or uneven heating that will cause the taste to be off.And if the fire is not strong enough in the middle, the salt will pass too much water and cause the vegetables to be bland and tasteless.

After the green vegetables were cooked, Ah Jiufei carefully put them on a plate and sent them to Du Shiwei's office.

Du Shiwei picked up a slice and put down his chopsticks, "I didn't add any seasoning except oil, salt, and sugar. Why?"

Ah Jiudao: "I think the taste of green vegetables is relatively simple. If you don't mix it with other ingredients, adding seasoning will cover its own fragrance."

"Have you tasted it yourself after it's done? Try it."

Ah Jiu took a piece of stalk and put it in his mouth, then wrinkled his face.

Du Shiwei observed his expression with interest, "How is it?"

Ah Jiu shook her head, "It's not delicious."

Du Shi smiled and said: "The ingredients are good first, the fire is good to master, the ratio of salt to sugar is just right, but why is it not delicious?"

Ah Jiu took another one. After eating, her brows still remained unchanged, and she said sullenly, "I...don't know."

There is a kind of material that is difficult to eat no matter how it is cooked, maybe it is one of them?But Du Shiwei once said that as a qualified cook, one can only accommodate and change the taste of the ingredients, instead of blaming the unpalatable faults on them.A good chef has no bad ingredients.

But Master also said that there is nothing wrong with every link, but why did I still fail?Ah Jiu silently brought the dishes back to the kitchen, and when she was about to throw them away, she remembered not to waste them, so she gritted her teeth and ate them all.Depressed in his heart, he said, "Remember Ah Jiu, this is the taste of what you made..."

Returning to Du Shiwei again, Ah Jiu's eyes returned to their former brilliance, "Master, please tell me, where is the problem?"

Du Shiwei said: "When you encounter problems, don't expect others to tell you the answer, learn to find it yourself."

Amid Ah Jiu's doubts, she handed over two pages of paper, "From tomorrow onwards, you will not come to work."

"Master!"

"What's your expression?" Du Shi looked at him with a smile, "I don't want you to go to work, it's because I have more important things for you to do."

"Ah?" Ah Jiu then seriously looked at the words on it: Congee Love Kongsi, Qianjia Diet, Longmen Doulao, Old Place, Cuige Fishing Village, Hairenjia, Spicy Restaurant, Yuhua Club, Juyitang, Choi Kee Noodle House... Choi Kee Noodle House?Isn't this Master Cai's territory?

Du Shiwei drew out another red card and gave it to him, "From now on, your task every day is to eat in the ten places above, and then memorize all their dishes, and before September, there will be a lot of signboards. Cook the dishes for me. I don’t care what method you use, just remember to taste exactly the same.”

"September... exactly the same?" Ah Jiu admitted that he was frightened, "What is this card?"

There is only a strange animal pattern drawn on it, and a small seal character 'food' is printed on the forehead, and there is also a strange fragrance faintly exuding.

Du Shi smiled lightly, "Bring it, you can eat and stay in the store above for free. Don't lose this one. Also, there is my email address on the back, and I have to submit a lot of documents to me every day." For the [-]-word study report, if you have any questions, you can write them directly, and I will reply you as soon as possible."

What a precious card, you can eat and drink for free in so many places, Ah Jiu swallowed subconsciously, "Master, can I ask why?"

Du Shi turned his pen slightly and said: "If you want to make satisfying food, you must first learn how to taste and appreciate it. The kitchen of Junzi Hotel is a good place, but you should not be confined here. You are a blank sheet of paper before you are young. We must absorb as much knowledge as possible. Otherwise, once certain concepts are formed in the future, it will be difficult to change them.”

"I understand Master," Ah Jiu nodded solemnly, "I will work hard!" If I submit electronic reports every day, I have to buy a computer, right?I don't know if there is enough money in the salary card.

Du Shiwei seemed to see through his thoughts, "You don't have to worry about the computer, I'll get it to you before I get off work."

Sure enough, when it was almost time to get off work, Du Shiwei handed him an unopened notebook, and said enviously, "It's just for children to play with. Do you want such a luxurious brand?"

Ah Jiu guessed: "Is it from my brother?"

"Who else can waste like this except him? It's nice to be rich, and you can use the best of everything."

Ah Jiu took it and said seriously: "When I have money, I will buy the best one for Master."

"Such a filial piety, it's not in vain that I treat you so well," Du Shi patted his head with a smile.

Knowing that Ah Jiu was going to leave the Gentleman Hotel, many colleagues were reluctant, and Master Yu specially invited everyone to eat at a roadside stall after get off work.

There are many delicacies from mountains and seas, and there are many delicacies to taste. No matter how novel it is, what you want is the lively and publicity in the open air.

The little apprentice who was hostile to Ah Jiu before now admires him very much, and Ah Jiu was a little uncertain if he insisted on coming over to toast.

Because Du Shiwei has warned that a good chef must keep his taste buds clean and sharp, and not easily contaminated with tobacco and alcohol and eat spicy food.

However, it seems a little unreasonable to refuse in this situation. Seeing his hesitation, Master Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's only a dozen degrees. As for your tongue, even if it's soaked in alcohol, there won't be any problems."

After Ah Jiu drank it reluctantly, Master Yu told everyone another joke, "I'm not exaggerating, I have never seen anyone with such a strong sense of taste. One day I passed the small kitchen and saw the head chef serving two pieces of tofu-sized Let him taste the cooked meat, do you know what our Ajiu said? Eight-month-old Cuihu wild Jiaji fish, gill meat, female. Then I tasted another piece, half-year-old meat rabbit, alfalfa ate too much grass The smell is strong, and the stool was not cleaned before killing... the face of the head chef at that time, tsk tsk, anyway, it was the first time I saw it."

Everyone laughed loudly, Ah Jiu didn't know what they were laughing at, so he just smirked along.

Talking and laughing while eating, it was more than ten o'clock in the evening when the group broke up. Only Ah Jiu and Master Yu lived in the dormitory, and the two of them walked back slowly.

Master Yu drank a little too much and was staggering when he walked. Ah Jiu held the computer in one hand and supported him in embarrassment with the other.

When he reached the park and was about to turn a corner, a tall figure suddenly emerged from among the flowers, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, he pressed it in front of Master Yu, and said in a low voice, "Hand over all the money you have on you!"

Master Yu was half sober at the time, and was about to call for help when he was stabbed in the arm, and was warned viciously: "If you dare to shout again, I will kill you!"

Looking at his calm demeanor, he seems to be a habitual criminal. This kind of desperado is the most terrifying.

With the idea of ​​destroying money and eliminating disasters, Master Yu tremblingly took out his wallet and handed it to him.

The man opened it and took a look. Not very satisfied, he turned the knife to Ah Jiu, "Why is there only so little, what about yours? Hurry up!"

Ah Jiu said, "I didn't bring any money."

The man saw that he looked well-behaved, he didn't seem to be lying, so he turned his eyes to the computer in his hand and said, "Give me what's in your hand."

Ah Jiu refused straight away, "No, my brother gave it to me."

"Give it to him, what time is it...you still care about a broken computer." Master Yu anxiously wanted to pinch him.

But Ah Jiu insisted on holding the computer and turned around, "I don't want it."

The other party was offended by his attitude, and growled: "Take it out! Do you think I dare not stab you, huh?" After speaking, he swung the knife and rushed towards him. Master Yu hurriedly pushed him away, and was stabbed again in the arm , blood flew out and splashed Ah Jiu's face.

Blood... Warm blood... For a moment, something in the body seemed to be awakened. When and where did such a thing seem to happen?

But the reality couldn't allow Ah Jiu to think too much, Master Yu fell to the ground clutching his arms, and shouted desperately: "Ah Jiu, run, help, someone is robbing!"

The gangster froze for a moment, then raised his knife at Master Yu again in anger.

"Don't!" Ah Jiu yelled and rushed over, covering Master Yu's back with his whole body, and the knife under the street lamp gleamed coldly and piercingly, stabbing towards his body viciously.

Ah Jiu closed her eyes in fear, but she didn't feel the expected pain for a long time, but heard a loud bang instead.

He turned his head hesitantly, and saw that the gangster seemed to be rushed out by a huge air current, lying on the ground not far away, struggling a few times in pain, and did not move.

Ah Jiu's heart was beating so hard that she couldn't control herself, and she didn't wake up until she heard Master Yu moaning in pain.

"Are you okay?" Ah Jiu had never encountered such a situation before, and Ah Jiu was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

Master Yu got up, "No, it's all right, there is a little blood and no bones are hurt, call the police immediately!"

Within a few minutes, the police rushed over and took a closer look. The gangster was no longer breathing, and the cause of death is temporarily unknown.

After taking notes, Ah Jiu and Master Yu went to a nearby clinic to get bandaged, and it was almost two o'clock in the morning when they returned to the dormitory.

I don't know if it's because of drinking or the horrifying scene that happened just now, Ah Jiu's consciousness is a little groggy.

Really, why do you care about the computer when it's so dangerous, let Master Yu take a knife for yourself, and you're actually dead!

The person standing in front of him was alive in the blink of an eye. Could it be that he was haunted by ghosts?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. Before entering the door, he put down the computer, touched the prayer beads on his wrist and begged: "Oh, Mi Tuofo, Master Yu is a good person, Lord Buddha, please protect him. Ah Jiu never did bad things, May the Lord Buddha bless me too..."

After speaking, he seemed to feel better. He took out the key to open the door, and fumbled for the power switch in the dark.Lord Buddha obviously didn't hear his words, because he quickly touched a big warm hand...
