Zhang Ying came to the Zhuangyan Temple with Lin Wei, Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei, the old Buddha, to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures with the old Buddha. Of course, she did not have as many restrictions as Lin Wei and the others, and could leave the temple at will on weekdays. She was a health expert and advocated vegetarianism. She could tolerate the temple's dishes, but she was bored staying in the temple all day listening to people chanting Buddhist scriptures, so she would take time out for a walk outside almost every day.
Today, when she was out strolling, she happened to meet Ye Chui and his group.
Thinking of how Ye Chui had been attacking her in various ways some time ago, Zhang Ying naturally would not miss the good opportunity now and wanted to come over to mock Ye Chui. Unexpectedly, Ye Chui seemed very strong. As soon as she finished speaking, a cold and domineering sister looked at her with a kitchen knife and asked Ye Chui: "Master, stir-fry or deep-fry?"
Zhang Ying was so scared that her legs went limp and she almost turned around and ran away. This sister is too strong...
Ye Chui glanced at Han Yuyan and said calmly, "Just stir-fry it."
"Oh." Han Yuyan nodded.
Zhang Ying couldn't help but swallow her saliva, thinking, would Ye Chu really be in trouble in broad daylight
It turned out that she thought too much. After getting Ye Chui's answer, Han Yuyan handed the chopped mushrooms on the chopping board to Tian Xiaodu: "Big Brother, stir-fry the mushrooms."
"Well, put it here first. Let me cook the chicken first." Tian Xiaodu nodded and said.
- When Han Yuyan asked Ye Chui whether to stir-fry or deep-fry, she was asking him how to cook the ingredients she had just cut. However, when she said this with a kitchen knife in hand and a cool face, it was obviously easy to be misunderstood...
Zhang Ying came back to her senses, and immediately snorted angrily, and said mockingly: "Mr. Ye, what on earth are you doing here?"
"Obviously, I'm cooking." Ye Chui said with a smile. He was adjusting the angle of the wine jar on the stove and continued, "Oh, I also plan to attract all the monks from the temple next door and bring Weiwei and her family back home."
"..." Zhang Ying was stunned, and she felt as if she had heard something incomprehensible. Ye Chui was actually going to use a dish to settle all the current issues, to use a dish to attract all the monks and make the old Buddha change his mind
Zhang Ying came to her senses and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Ye, are you crazy?"
"Of course not. I'm sober now, and I'm very angry." Ye Chui wiped his hands with a towel and walked to Zhang Ying. "Miss Zhang, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you... Where did you find that video?"
"What do you care about me!" Zhang Ying's face changed and she said hurriedly. After taking out the video, Ye Chui told her that this video was related to the dark banquet. This made Zhang Ying nervous for a long time, but nothing happened afterwards, so she didn't think about these things anymore. She didn't expect Ye Chui to bring it up again.
"Of course I won't take care of you." Ye Chui laughed, "But someone will take care of you."
"Who?" Zhang Ying asked coldly.
Ye Chui pointed outside the hotel: "Him."
Xing Sen had just arrived near the Zhuangyan Temple and had already talked to Ye Chui on the phone, so he knew that Ye Chui was now in this small restaurant. When Ye Chui was talking to Zhang Ying, he happened to see Xing Sen parked his car outside the hotel and was getting out and walking into the hotel.
Zhang Ying turned her head and looked at Xing Sen. She naturally didn't know Xing Sen, but Xing Sen was strong and had some stubble on his face. The stubble was not because he was sloppy, but was a deliberate style. He gave people a very sharp feeling, which made Zhang Ying feel a little scared involuntarily.
She asked in surprise, "Who is he?"
"Food Detective."
Ye Chui said to Zhang Ying with a smile, and then said to Xing Sen: "Remember the clues about Qian Xin that I mentioned before? I suspect that this Miss Zhang has had contact with Qian Xin. The video of my participation in the dark banquet is only in Qian Xin's possession, except for a few banquet participants. But Miss Zhang took out that video some time ago, which is obviously very suspicious."
Xing Sen immediately looked at Zhang Ying with a vigilant expression.
Zhang Ying panicked: "No... I don't know any Qian Xin..."
"Ms. Zhang, please come with me first. This matter involves food crime. You must know how serious its nature is, so I hope you can assist me in the investigation." Xing Sen said to Xing Sen with a cold face.
Zhang Ying realized that the matter was serious. The video was obtained through Zhang Hantao, but when Zhang Hantao called her, he used an unfamiliar number. This was obviously because he wanted to avoid responsibility in case of an accident...
The person who gave her the video didn't look like a good person. Zhang Ying didn't think too much about it at the time, but now she felt that she was really stupid. A look of urgency appeared on her face, and she suddenly turned around and ran out of the hotel.
Xing Sen and Ye Chui were about to chase her, but another figure rushed out first. With a flash of white light, Sister Han's slender white legs under her hot pants flew over and kicked Zhang Ying directly on the head.
Zhang Ying's body swayed and she fell to the ground.
Sister Han clapped her hands lightly: "I hate this kind of woman the most."
Xing Sen was a little surprised. At the cruise carnival, Han Yuyan, the funny sister, had her combat capability crippled because she fainted at the sight of blood. Although Xing Sen knew that she had some combat abilities, he had always thought that they were just fancy moves. Now it seems that this is obviously not the case...
Then Xing Sen reacted and hurried back to the car outside. He took out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed Zhang Ying who just stood up shakily. "I didn't have the right to handcuff you, but you actually tried to escape just now. You asked for it."
"I am wronged. I know nothing about the Dark Banquet..." Zhang Ying explained hurriedly.
"Where did you get your video from?" Ye Chui asked coldly.
"It's Zhang Hantao! He called and said that he found a video that can be used to deal with you and asked me to make a deal with someone... I really didn't know that thing was related to the Dark Banquet. If I had known, I would never dare to meet him..." Zhang Ying said with tears and snot. Was there still any pride and ridicule at this moment
She looked at Ye Chui with a pleading look on her face. Health expert is a profession that is related to cooking. If she is involved with the Dark Banquet, not to mention the punishment she will receive, her career will be 100% ruined. How can she not be anxious
If Xing Sen hadn't been holding her arm, she would have fallen to her knees.
"You go and tell the old Buddha that if she can come out of the temple, I can consider pleading for you." Ye Cui said after thinking about it. The old Buddha is now eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures in the temple because of Mingjing. I don't know how much influence Zhang Ying has on her.
Zhang Ying looked embarrassed after hearing this: "The old Buddha is not seeing anyone now. He is just sitting in meditation in the meditation room..."
"Forget it then." Ye Chui turned to Xing Sen and said, "She might be able to find out about Qian Xin. If possible, let's see if we can bring down Zhang Hantao as well. I think Qian Xin should contact Zhang Hantao first."
"I understand this." Xing Sen nodded and agreed.
Zhang Ying still wanted to plead with Ye Chui, but Xing Sen didn't give her a chance and dragged her out directly - maybe it was because he had been with the tomboy Huo Li for too long, but Xing Sen was not gentle at all to women.
Then Xing Sen took down a bunch of things from the car, all of which were rare ingredients he brought back from Yanjing, including shark fins, scallops, etc.
Ingredients like shark fins and fish lips are easy to deal with, but things like scallops and abalone tend to go bad if left for too long, so Xing Sen deliberately put these ingredients in ice to keep them fresh.
"I will contact you immediately if there is any result from interrogating her." Xing Sen said to Ye Chui before leaving. Then he looked at the wine jars picked up in the restaurant and the pile of food to be processed, and said curiously, "By the way, what are you going to do? No, I have to come here when I am free, otherwise I will definitely miss the opportunity to taste the food."
"This dish needs to be simmered for three days. If you really want to eat it, just come back after three days." Ye Chui said with a smile.
"Three days?" Xing Sen was a little surprised. "What kind of dish takes so much time to prepare? I'm in for a treat this time."
After Xing Sen left, Han Yuyan came to Ye Chui again and said, "Master, you rented this place for three days because this dish takes three days to make. It's amazing. This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall takes so much effort."
"Of course the authentic method doesn't take so much effort." Ye Chui smiled and shook his head and said, "According to the normal method, it only takes six or seven hours to complete, but I don't plan to use the normal method to make this dish."
The authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall emphasizes the preservation of fragrance and flavor. After the ingredients are placed in the jar, the jar mouth should be sealed with lotus leaves and then covered. After simmering for five or six hours over low heat, the lotus leaves are opened. The aroma of wine immediately hits your nose and goes straight into your heart and spleen. The soup is thick and brown, thick but not greasy. When you eat it, the aroma of wine mixes with various aromas, the fragrance spreads all around, it is rotten but not rotten, and the taste is endless.
However, Ye Chui plans to modify the method of cooking this dish. Instead of sealing it, he plans to use the method of boiling old soup to let the unique aroma of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall spread everywhere, which is the most attractive.
Old soup is the marinade, which refers to the soup used for many years to stew poultry and meat. The longer the old soup is preserved, the richer the aromatic substances, the stronger the fragrance, the greater the umami taste, and the better the flavor of the cooked meat.
In his previous life, Ye Chui encountered a restaurant where the soup they used had a history of fifty years. It was cooked by his grandfather's generation and had an extremely rich flavor, worthy of being the best soup in the world. Now, Ye Chui was going to make the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so he was prepared to spend three days cooking the soup to make it as rich as possible. He wanted to see if the monks could still chant sutras with peace of mind when the fragrance of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall spread to the temple. (~^~)
