Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 84: Monkey Brain

Moreover, this is because these diners not only like to eat such dishes, but also like to watch the process of making goose feet with their own eyes. Listening to the scream of the goose, the guests are staggering and applauding, but Rong Daquan feels that He felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. These geese were originally raised for people to eat, and he made goose meat in the kitchen, but watching the living geese suffer like this, he still felt Can't stand it.

Ningxi didn't know how to persuade him. No matter what world he was in, such cruel practices existed. Such live roasted goose feet can be said to be delicious, but some practices are simply unnecessary. , For example, called a donkey, it is really gouging out the meat from a living donkey. It is called fresh, but it is just to satisfy the dark psychology of the diners.

As a chef, Ning Xi herself would never cook such a dish, but if someone eats it, someone will cook it, and she has no choice: "If Brother Rong really doesn't want to do such a thing, why don't we Just go to Boss Cai and say, don't do it!"

Rong Daquan shook his head: "I still don't need it. It will be a month soon. If I leave now, I won't be able to get the remaining half of the silver."

"Brother Rong, it's really hard for you to make you suffer such grievances."

"Ningxi, what you said, let's learn this craft so that we can have a meal wherever we go!"

It was enough for the two of them to talk. Rong Daquan continued to go back to the Tongxing Building to work on the second day. On this day, Boss Cai specially summoned the chefs of the small kitchen: "Two days later, our restaurant will entertain a distinguished guest. However, this distinguished guest has a hobby in eating, that is, he likes to eat living things, you all help me think about it and see what special dishes are there."

The chefs all feel embarrassed: "It is not difficult to find living things, but living things need to be delicious, but it is not so easy."

"Whoever thinks of a dish that will satisfy our guests will be awarded fifty taels of silver!"

The chefs became excited all of a sudden. Although their wages were a little higher than the chefs in the big kitchen outside, it was only twenty-five taels per month. Fifty-two taels was two months' wages. They were excited and started to discuss. I just talked for a long time, and finally did not discuss the reason.

Although Rong Daquan was a little moved by these fifty taels, when he thought of the cruelty and disgust of eating live animals, he gave up the idea.

Arriving at noon, a guest came to the door, and the kitchen began to get busy. Rong Daquan quickly put this matter aside.

I didn't expect to be busy all day, but when I came home from work at night, I suddenly heard a familiar "squeak" in the storage room next to the kitchen. Rong Daquan looked in curiously, There was an iron cage inside, and a little monkey in the cage looked familiar. When the monkey saw him, he raised his front paws and seemed to beg for help.

Rong Daquan took a closer look. The monkey's wrist was tied with a network of red silk threads, which turned out to be the "Squeak" of the old monkey playing next door.

"Zhizhi, is that you?" Rong Daquan asked.

The monkey, clutching the cage with both front paws, nodded desperately.

Rong Daquan walked over, the cage was locked with an iron lock, and he couldn't open it: "Why are you here?"

Suddenly someone asked from outside: "Who's inside?"

Rong Daquan replied: "It's me, I saw a little monkey here, come in and have a look."

The man said: "Be careful, don't let it run away."

Rong Daquan asked: "Where did this monkey come from, and what is it doing here?"

The man laughed: "I don't know where the wild monkey came from. He ran into the kitchen to steal food and was caught by our people. It was just for fun. Later, Master Li told the boss an ancient book. According to the recorded way of eating, the boss asked to keep the monkey and use it to entertain guests two days later."

Rong Daquan was shocked, "Zhizhi" was going to be eaten?

"Then what are you going to do?" Rong Daquan asked.

The man beckoned to him: "Come out, I heard that monkeys are thieves, don't let them listen."

Rong Daquan had no choice but to walk out with him. "Zhizhi" shook the cage and screamed desperately. Hearing Rong Daquan felt distressed for a while, but he could only pretend he didn't hear it.

The man said mysteriously in Rong Daquan's ear: "Eat the monkey brain alive! Dig a hole on the table, just let the monkey's head come out, and then get the neck stuck, the monkey can't move, take it. With a hammer, 'quack', the skull will be knocked off, the white-flowered monkey brain is still steaming, just mix it with a spoon and you can eat it, I heard that this stuff is especially good for the brain."

Rong Daquan heard the hair on his whole body stand up, and when he heard the white monkey brain, he almost vomited: "No, can this be eaten too?"

"Why can't I eat it, then the honored guest is good at this!"

Before leaving, Rong Daquan had to specifically instruct Rong Daquan: "This monkey's head is very big, and there must be a lot of brains in it. The boss specifically told him not to let it run away. You should also be careful. ."

Rong Daquan nodded and said, "I know."

When the person was far away, Rong Daquan quietly sneaked into the storage room and whispered to the little monkey: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely try to save you in these two days."

"Zhizhi" nodded desperately. Tears were leaking out of those big smart eyes. Seeing the pain in Rong Daquan's heart!

I hurried back to the inn, and found that Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang were not there. They waited for almost two hours, and it was almost midnight. What are you running out for?"

Meng Shuangshuang said anxiously: "The little monkey is gone, we all helped to find it, but we couldn't find it all night. The old man said 'Zhizhi', although it was a bit naughty, but he never didn't go home for the night. Yes, I haven't come back for so long, something must have happened." He was about to cry.

Rongda said: "Don't look for it, I know where it is."

Meng Shuangshuang grabbed his arm: "Where is it? Tell me now!"

Rong Daquan told everyone what happened in the restaurant today, which made everyone very angry, and the old man playing the monkey was scared to take two steps back and burst into tears: "My squeak!" Since childhood The little monkeys raised, just like their own children, should be eaten alive by such cruel methods, how can they not be alarmed.

Ning Xi said: "Don't worry, old man, we will go and get Squeak back tomorrow."

The old man shook his head: "It's not that easy." These trades they do are called inferior, and they are very despised by others. They rashly come to the door to ask for monkeys. People get kicked out!

Meng Shuangshuang said: "They just want monkeys to cook. Let's buy a monkey and exchange Zizhi for it, shall we?"

Rong Daquan said: "Monkeys can't be eaten, and most people can't keep them for fun. Where can they buy them? Besides, monkeys live on mountains and are clever by nature. It's not that easy to catch one alive. matter.”

Ningxi pondered: "Boss Cai just wants a living thing that can be eaten. If I can exchange another recipe with him, maybe I can exchange Zizhi."

Meng Shuangshuang said: "This kind of person, if you exchange the recipe with him, wouldn't it be cheaper for him." Ever since he heard that Boss Cai wanted to use Zhizhi's cooking to entertain guests, Meng Shuangshuang no longer had the slightest affection for him .

Ning Xi smiled and said, "Even if I tell you this recipe, you won't dare to eat it. It's useless to keep it. Just take it out and disgust them!"

Meng Shuangshuang asked curiously, "What is that?"

Ning Xi was not in a hurry to tell the truth, and just asked someone else, "I wonder if you can find the little mouse that has just come out of the nest and hasn't grown hair yet?"

This is not difficult, but to put it badly, who doesn't have a litter or two of mice in a poor household? Although not deliberately raised, the reproductive ability of mice is extremely strong, and it is simply inexhaustible.

Soon someone found a litter of five mice and came out to Ningxi.

Looking at the five red, squirming little things in the ragged cotton wool, Meng Shuangshuang got goosebumps all over: "Ningxi, what are you doing with such a disgusting thing!"

"It will be exchanged for Squeak tomorrow!" Ning Xi said, took a plate and filled a half plate of honey, and then let the little mouse that had not opened its eyes put in it. Honey, rolled over in it and licked it happily.

Meng Shuangshuang covered her eyes and said, "Take it away, don't put it in my room."

Ningxi actually felt disgusted, so he asked Rong Daquan to take it to his room: "You bring it here tomorrow, and I will go with you to find Boss Cai."

The next day, the three of them went to the Tongxing Building together with the old man playing the monkey. Meng Shuangshuang was anxious to see the little monkey, but in the heavy kitchen, the idle people could not get in at all, so they had to wait outside and let people come. Go inside and invite Boss Cai to come out.

I saw two little guys come out of the kitchen, one of them complained to the other while walking: "Where's the wild monkey, so fierce, just go to feed and scratch my sleeves. , look here, scratched me a red mark."

Another person said: "Looking at you being big and three rough, and being bullied by a monkey, thank you for saying it."

"Hmph, a little monkey still wants to fight with me, my lord, I'll give him two feet and it's enough for him. If it wasn't for the boss's instructions to take good care of him, we'll see if he can survive. in."

"You can also take it easy, don't mutilate it and show the boss tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of measure and I won't leave any trauma."

Meng Shuangshuang jumped up in anger: "Hey, you are not allowed to bully the little monkey!"
