Yin Shixiong explained to her that the meaning of this sentence is not that you should always stare at the kitchen how to cook, but that it is best to find an opportunity to sneak into the kitchen before eating and understand how the food is cooked there. , who made it, where the vegetables were sold, where the rice came from, and where all kinds of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other seasonings were produced.
The last one, and the most important one, is to eat in a completely unfamiliar place that you are not sure about. If you don’t make it yourself and you can’t see how it is made, you must eat it last, and you would rather eat from someone else’s bowl. Don’t take the first bite of the leftover food rashly.
It can be said that each of these experiences and lessons is forged with blood and life.
The average person may not have so many concerns, but for people who do special jobs, these are crucial.
Gu Nianzhi knows that the nature of Yin Shixiong's work is special, and these aspects are common sense in their daily training, so that they can ensure that they have good habits when performing tasks outside and avoid capsizing in a ditch.
Over time, Gu Nianzhi was also influenced subtly.
It's not that she doesn't trust the people here, it's that she has been brainwashed by Huo Shaoheng's rules and she won't feel at ease unless she takes a closer look.
Besides, she was really hungry. Maybe she would eat whatever anyone gave her at this time.
Unfortunately, there was nothing to eat in the kitchen, and the nun didn't like her. She planned to go to the river outside to catch a few more fish and cook them for the nuns here to thank them for taking her in.
Gu Nianzhi gave himself a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
Others treat her coldly, but she still cooks grilled fish for them, which is awesome!
Gu Nianzhi walked slowly through the corridor, instead of going back to the house, she walked down the somewhat eerie and dark stairwell, came to the door on the first floor, opened the padlock, opened the door, and took a deep breath.
The rain has stopped, the moon-white sky outside is like washing with water, and the air is exceptionally fresh.
The air is the same as the Black Forest Oxygen Bar, and you'll feel intoxicated by taking one breath.
Gu Nianzhi took out his cell phone out of habit and looked at it, and found that it only had 10% battery.
Well, I will ask Josephine when I come back later to ask them if they have a charger for the iPhone. Charge the phone first, and then try to call Yin Shixiong and the others.
She could no longer trust the German police, and Smith and others might be eavesdropping, and she didn't want to contact them.
Putting the phone back in his pocket, Gu Nianzhi walked out the door.
Although it stopped raining, there were still some small puddles on the cement floor.
It's not bright outside yet, the sun is hiding in the clouds in the distance, and the sky is just white.
In the early morning, there is mist floating in the Alps, and the forests in the distance are dyed, and there is a beautiful scene of flat forest and desert smoke.
When Gu Nianzhi saw this beautiful scenery, he suddenly felt relaxed and happy.
She took a deep breath and put the unhappiness behind her. She still wore her dirty tennis shoes, folded her hands under the nun's robe, and strode towards the half-person-high iron door in front of her.
This time she still held the waist-high small iron door with one hand and climbed out.
After going out, there is no cement road, only asphalt road.
After walking for a while, there were no asphalt roads anymore, only muddy paths in the mountains.
Gu Nianzhi avoided the mud on the road and walked exclusively on the grass. It was easier to walk.
She walked back in the direction she came from yesterday, and not far away, she saw the small river, the small river that she saw from the road where she fell off the cliff.
Gu Nianzhi was scared of the whitebait in the river, but she couldn't help but became more and more skilled in catching fish. She quickly picked up several more whitebait, tied them with straw ropes, and carried them back to the monastery.
When we went in, only an hour had passed, which was about five o'clock in the morning.
But the nuns were already getting up, washing themselves, and going to the dining room for breakfast.
Gu Nianzhi carried some fish and went directly to the kitchen.
She peeked at the door of the kitchen and saw that the old nun with a depressed look was no longer here. There was no one in the room and the oven was empty. The bread and cakes she saw just now should have been baked, right
Gu Nianzhi turned around and looked into the corridor again, and happened to see a nun walking towards her with her head lowered. Gu Nianzhi hurriedly called to her.
The man looked up and saw that it was Josephine who let her in yesterday.
Gu Nianzhi was so happy that he waved to her with a smile and asked her in English: "Sister Josephine, you came just in time. I want to grill some fish. Can I borrow your kitchen?"
Gu Nianzhi knew that Christian monasteries were different from monks and nunneries in the Chinese Empire, because they could not help but eat fish and meat, so she asked openly.
Josephine saw the fish in her hand, nodded with a smile, and replied in English: "Yes, you can use it as you like." Then she added: "But breakfast is already prepared, and the mother-in-law told you to go back to your room and have breakfast." I sent it to your room for you. I just went to your room to look for you, and when I saw you weren’t there, I thought you had left.”
Gu Nianzhi put the fish in the kitchen and said gratefully: "Ah? It has been sent to my room? Why is this so embarrassing? I'd better grill some fish and let's eat together."
With that said, Gu Nianzhi had already found the knife and started to clean up the fish.
These days, she can skillfully cut open fish with the little Swiss Army knife, but now it’s even easier with a long kitchen knife.
While scraping the scales, Gu Nianzhi asked Josephine: "...How many people are there in your monastery? I only caught five fish, will it be enough to eat?"
Josephine smiled and said: "Fortunately, there are only five of us, including the dean. Today, the dean got up early to make breakfast and has gone back to sleep, so there are only four of us, including you." Only five people.”
It turns out that the elderly nun who disliked her today was the Mother Superior...
Gu Nianzhi's heart was agitated, but she quickly suppressed it and said, "Then I'll bake them all, and everyone will have one piece each."
"Okay, you can bake it here and I can help you." Josephine said cheerfully.
"Ah? That's great!" Gu Nianzhi beamed with joy. He quickly packed up the fish, found some salt from the kitchen, smeared a little bit on it, added a little bit of alfalfa honey, smeared it with olive oil, and put it in Place in baking pan and transfer to oven.
Josephine stood nearby and smiled kindly and said: "Your fish catching gesture is very familiar..."
"Yeah, I like to fish and grill fish by myself when I'm at home." Gu Nianzhi avoided the important and ignored Josephine's clichés.
Josephine felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the mother-in-law said that Gu Nianzhi lied last night, but now that she sees Gu Nianzhi and listens to her words, she doesn't feel anything wrong anymore.
She didn't care if Gu Nianzhi lied.
In this monastery with only five people left, Josephine really didn't know what else was worthy of being plotted.
Even if Gu Nianzhi didn't tell the truth, it was none of her business.
Thinking of this, Josephine felt much better about Gu Nianzhi. She watched her grilling the fish with interest and asked, "How long will it take to bake?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at his watch and said, "15 minutes is enough."
This small whitebait is very tender and will not taste good if it is grilled for too long.
Josephine waited here with her, while telling Gu Nianzhi about the various habits of their monastery.
Gu Nianzhi listened attentively, humming from time to time, and asked: "So in your monastery, only the dean has a phone? Normally, there is no Internet access here, and there is no signal for mobile phones?"
"Yes, the mountains here are too high and the signal is very poor. Generally there is no signal." Josephine shrugged indifferently, "We don't go online anyway, let alone contact the outside world, so the mobile phone network is not important to us. ."
Gu Nianzhi complained secretly, she needed a mobile phone and the Internet!
It seems that the only option is to borrow a phone from the dean.
Gu Nianzhi asked again about the dean, "You said it was the dean who made breakfast here in the morning? She was the only one?"
"Yes, today it was originally the other sister's turn to make breakfast. We were all on duty. But in the morning, the Mother Superior said she wanted to do it herself, so she let her go." Josephine took a deep breath, and the air was filled with excitement. It's the smell of grilled fish, it must be delicious.
Gu Nianzhi also swallowed.
Sure enough, the fish baked in a serious oven with serious seasonings is delicious!
When the time came, Gu Nianzhi opened the oven, put on big gloves and took out the baking pan.
The five fish inside were grilled to a golden color and sizzling with oil, making them extremely delicious at first glance.
Josephine's eyes almost popped out of her head: "Cereus, I didn't expect you to be so good at grilling fish! It's so beautiful! The grilled fish in a Michelin four-star restaurant is second to none!"
"Josephine, you are too exaggerated!" Gu Nianzhi laughed from ear to ear.
After all, a poor cook in the Chinese Empire could receive such praise as a German nun, she felt that her life was worth it!
Five pieces of fragrant grilled fish were placed on long white bone china plates with gold edges and placed on a large tray.
Josephine volunteered to take her to the restaurant: "Let's take her to the restaurant downstairs and show them!"
Gu Nianzhi nodded vigorously, "Take my breakfast too, let's have fun together."
"Okay!" Josephine nodded quickly. She didn't understand why Mother Superior had to let Gu Nian eat alone in the room. Their monastery had never entertained lost travelers before, and they always ate with everyone. Like a family.
When Gu Nianzhi heard what she said, his heart moved again, and he said with a smile: "Maybe the dean has her reasons, so is it okay if I go down?"
"It's okay, it's okay! We're just going to eat together, what does it matter?" Josephine disagreed, "Besides, you grilled fish for us, but those passengers did nothing, just waiting for us to serve them!"
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but feel ashamed.
If it were in the past, she would probably have been one of those ignorant travelers waiting to be "served"...
The two of them walked to the door of Gu Nianzhi's room, and Josephine went in and took out Gu Nianzhi's breakfast tray.
Gu Nianzhi took a look.
On the red cherry wood tray, there are three bone china plates, one of which contains two small dinner bags that are roasted golden brown, and there are roasted wilted blueberries on the dinner bags. One has a blueberry muffin inside, and the other has two pieces of fried bacon, accompanied by yellow scrambled eggs. There is also a glass of milk.
It looks delicious, except for those blueberries.
While waiting to eat, you can dig out the blueberries, Gu Nianzhi thought, and went downstairs with Josephine to the restaurant on the first floor.
The restaurant on the first floor is very spacious, but there are only three nuns sitting at one table.
Seeing Josephine coming, they all stood up to greet her, then looked at Gu Nianzhi curiously, and asked Josephine: "...Who is she? Is she a new sister?"
"No, she's not a new sister. She's a lost traveler who came here to rest." Josephine said with a smile, motioning Gu Nianzhi to put down the tray with five grilled fishes, and said, "Cereus grilled it for everyone." Fish, it smells delicious to me!”
The three nuns' eyes were immediately attracted to the grilled fish, and their eyes immediately lit up, and they became obviously enthusiastic about Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was secretly amused, wondering if this was a portrayal of taking advantage of others and eating others' soft lips...
Josephine pulled Gu Nianzhi to sit opposite the three nuns, and placed Gu Nianzhi's breakfast tray in front of her.
A relatively thin nun opposite saw the breakfast on the tray in front of Gu Nianzhi and said enviously: "Cereus, you actually have bacon and scrambled eggs?! It's really rare... We can only eat bacon once a week."
Gu Nianzhi looked at the breakfasts of the three people opposite. They all had two small blueberry meal bags and a piece of blueberry cake, just like hers, but they had an extra bowl of oatmeal and she had an extra plate of bacon and scrambled eggs.
Josephine said to Gu Nianzhi sheepishly, "Don't listen to her. In fact, it's not bad to eat bacon once a week. It's healthy."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and distributed the grilled fish to the nuns one by one. At the same time, he asked Josephine calmly: "... Do you all treat tourists who come to stay like this?"
"Of course not, you are the most special!" Josephine immediately replied with a smile, "Not only did the dean personally cook breakfast for you, she also personally delivered it to you in your room!"
"That's it..." Gu Nianzhi's heart moved, remembering Huo Shaoheng and the others' principled approach to food provided by strangers. He pushed the plate in front of him forward and exchanged it with the nun who said she liked bacon and scrambled eggs, "This Sister, I happen to want to eat oatmeal, come on, let’s change it!”
The nun was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay! Thank you, Sister Cereus!"
Josephine didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Seeing that Gu Nianzhi was willing to give up the bacon, she was happy to see it happen, so she didn't stop him.
Gu Nianzhi exchanged breakfast from the nun. It happened that the nun was waiting for Josephine to come down and eat together. They hadn't eaten yet, so they exchanged a clean tray of breakfast.
Everyone was satisfied, chatting and laughing while eating the grilled fish cooked by Gu Nianzhi and the breakfast in the monastery. The atmosphere was very happy.
After breakfast, Gu Nianzhi said that she wanted to use their phone to make a call, but Josephine took her to the door of the dean's room and found out that the dean was still sleeping.
"Just wait a little longer." Josephine said hurriedly, "Didn't you say you want to charge it? Only the dean has a charger for the iPhone."
"Okay." Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to nod in agreement, "I'll wait."
Walking back with Josephine, as soon as they passed the corner of the corridor, they saw a nun coming over and said to Josephine: "Sister Josephine, Tess just fainted suddenly. I sent her back to her room and found that she just I’m asleep and can’t wake up no matter how I scream.”
Josephine was amused and said, "Asleep? Are you fainting or falling asleep?"
With that said, they went to the room of the nun named Tess.
Gu Nianzhi took a closer look and saw that the nun named Tess was the nun she had exchanged for breakfast with in the morning!
Her heart sank and she quietly took a step back.
Josephine's attention was focused on Tess. She bent down and touched Tess's forehead, then used her hand to explore her breathing, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, she is indeed asleep, then let her sleep." In a moment. If she has a fever, take her to the hospital."
Josephine stepped aside, and Gu Nianshang stepped forward and looked at the nun. She had a rosy complexion, long breathing, and was sleeping very deeply.
Gu Nianzhi reached out and pinched the middle of the nun's face hard.
If an average person suddenly faints or passes out, they can wake up by pinching someone.
But Gu Nianzhi pinched people so hard that they could wake up those who passed by, but Sister Tess was still sleeping soundly...
I just finished breakfast and fell asleep like this. What's the difference between feeling faint
Gu Nianzhi knew in his heart that there was something wrong with the dean.
What about everyone else
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to think too deeply.
At least the other four nuns should be fine, right
But at this time, Gu Nianzhi didn't have time to distinguish who was a good person or a bad person among these five nuns. She didn't have the time or energy.
She was just worried that what happened here was related to those who were chasing her. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence
She came here to stay for just one night, and these people were going to drug her
If it was just a simple act of seeking wealth and killing, it would not be justified.
Because she was obviously in rags when she arrived, and she didn't look like a wealthy person at all.
On the contrary, those who are chasing her are so powerful that they can even answer calls from the police station, and can also control other people's mobile phones through Trojan horse programs. If they were to pursue her here...
She'd better leave quickly!
Gu Nianzhi made a decision immediately, but she didn't tell anyone. She just said to Josephine: "I am also a little sleepy and can't open my eyes. I got up too early in the morning and now I want to take a nap. Wait for the dean. Shall I come back after grandma wakes up?"
Josephine nodded, "Okay, you did get up too early today, go to bed. These two sisters and I have to go to morning classes, and we can't come out to the Rose Hall over there. I will call you during lunch Yes. After lunch, we went to the dean to borrow a phone and charger."
Gu Nianzhi heard that the three nuns were going to do morning classes and would not come out for a while, so he nodded hurriedly, "You go ahead, I'll go back to sleep. Alas, I can't even open my eyes, why are I so sleepy?" "As he said this, he walked towards his room.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Josephine and two other nuns turning in another direction, entering a door, and watching the door gently close.
