"Smash it! Smash it!" someone at the door of the small restaurant shouted loudly.
The two people who rushed into the restaurant pounced on the wine jar like wolves and tigers. The wine jar was very fragile and would break immediately if pushed to the ground. They came here to cause trouble.
At this time, Ye Chui and Tian Xiaodu were both outside, and there was only one woman in the small restaurant...
But that woman was Han Yuyan.
Right after the person at the door shouted, a scream was heard from inside the hotel - it was a man's scream. Just when Ye Chui and Tian Xiaodu realized what was happening and hadn't reacted yet, a burly man knocked down the person at the door of the hotel and rolled out.
Ye Chui turned sideways and looked into the hotel.
Sister Han was holding a kitchen knife in her hand - she was just cutting vegetables. A boy was lying on the ground, and one of her long beautiful legs was stepping on the man's back. Sister Han had an indescribable aura: this aura was mainly brought out by the kitchen knife in her hand.
She asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Those who had not been able to express their arrogance before suddenly became weak—Sister Han might not be a qualified waitress, but she was definitely a qualified gold medal fighter…
Ye Chui came to his senses at this time. These people wanted to smash the wine jar that Ye Chui used to cook Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Someone wanted to do something bad. He glanced at the people who were waiting to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and said, "These people want to smash my food. Can you tolerate it?"
"We can't tolerate this!" these people shouted in unison.
"Catch them!" Ye Chui shouted immediately.
So a group of people rushed forward and arrested Cheng Wei, the hooligans who were obviously looking for trouble, without saying a word before they could react.
This group of people originally planned to come and cause trouble. They were going to rush into Ye Chui's small restaurant at lightning speed and smash his things. Unfortunately, they miscalculated and directly bumped into Sister Han... and then they were caught by the angry crowd.
Judging from the appearance of these people, they should be local hooligans. The leader has a beard and looks very ferocious. There is a colorful tiger on his arm. Although his arm is grabbed by several people at this time, his face has a calm and nonchalant expression.
Ye Zhili walked up to the man and asked coldly, "Who asked you to come?"
"No one!" the man said firmly, "I am in charge of this place. You are selling this thing so expensively here. Have you asked us?"
"Are you collecting protection money?" Ye Chui sneered. "Collecting protection money is naturally to make more money. You come here to smash things without saying anything. It's obvious that you don't want to make money from us. You just come here to mess things up - who asked you to come?"
"What do you care about me?" The tattooed man raised his head and said coldly, "Let's see what you can do to me!"
"I'm doing business here legitimately, and you come here and smash things without telling me. This is a crime, a crime against food." Ye Chui said to the man seriously.
"Food crime? Haha, so what if it's food crime? Do you think you're a food detective? This is in the suburbs, there's no village or store nearby. Even if I smash your store, what can you do?!"
The tattooed man saw that he had been caught anyway, so he just started shouting without caring.
This gangster has been through a lot of this kind of thing. Even the police didn't bother to intervene, let alone the Food Detective. In the end, nothing would happen. Although his arm was handcuffed, he still looked at Ye Chui with contempt: "Do you think we are here to eat for nothing? We will not leave here today. Go and call the Food Detective over for me. If the Food Detective doesn't come, we will not leave!"
"..." Ye Chui rolled his eyes, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and said to the tattooed man, "Wait a moment."
Twenty minutes later—
"Hey, brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never dare to do it again..." When the tattooed man was handcuffed by the people brought by Xing Sen and thrown into the police car next to him, he begged Ye Chui with tears and snot, which was in sharp contrast to his previous arrogance.
Who would have thought that Ye Chui could really call in the Food Detective... When did the legendary Food Detective become so idle
"Let me ask you one last question. Who asked you to come here?" Ye Cui walked up to the man.
"I don't know. I received a call last night. The other party told me to destroy your place and give us some money, but we don't know who that person is..." the man shouted hurriedly.
"Why would the other person call you if you don't know him/her?" Ye Chui said coldly.
"How would I know that? There are so many people in this area who know my contact information..." the man shouted.
"Take them away." Ye Chui turned to Xing Sen and said, "You guys decide how to deal with them."
"Take him away!" Xing Sen waved his hand, and the people he brought immediately dragged the gangster who had just come to cause trouble into the police car. The police car drove away with the sirens blaring, but Xing Sen stayed.
"Aren't you busy?" Ye Cui looked at Xing Sen with some amusement.
"Busy, but isn't it almost noon?" Xing Sen looked around the small restaurant. "Your Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has been making a lot of noise these past few days. It's even on the hot news on the Internet. It's no wonder that I went all the way to Yanjing to get the ingredients for you. This dish must be delicious..."
"Come on, no need to say more. I'll give you a bowl of leftovers later." Ye Chui interrupted Xing Sen with a smile, "If you have time, come back this afternoon. By then, the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will be ready. That's the most delicious. I sell it to others for three thousand a bowl."
"Okay, I'll definitely come this afternoon." Xing Sen said immediately. As a gourmet detective, he had eaten all kinds of gourmet food, but the thing in Ye Chui's hand was unexpected, so he couldn't control his appetite at all...
Ye Chui nodded, and then thought of something: "You caught Zhang Ying, and got any clues about Qian Xin from her?"
"We've got some clues. We've figured out where he's hiding and are setting up a net. Don't worry, this guy will definitely be caught." Xing Sen explained simply.
These matters were confidential, and Ye Cui would not ask any more questions. He greeted the diners and went back to the restaurant to prepare the leftovers.
This is the third time I’ve had the leftovers, and they taste even better than the last time. The aroma is so pervasive that one can’t help but drool. The price of eight hundred yuan a bowl is definitely well-deserved.
After the residue was taken out, Tian Xiaodu took it out and started selling it, while Ye Chui, An Jing and Han Yuyan started the last step -
This time, we will cook the final Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Ye Chui put various ingredients into the wine jar one by one. After filling it completely, he did not open the jar directly like he did in the previous times to let the fragrance diffuse freely. Instead, he covered it with a lid of suitable size. The previous three times, Ye Chui was mainly for making old soup, and he also deliberately let the fragrance diffuse everywhere. But now, covering the pot with the lid is the most formal way to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which preserves the fragrance and flavor. After six hours of boiling, the moment he finally lifted the lid, the rich fragrance swept around like a huge wave!
The previous three days of cooking were all for that last moment!
After completing these steps, Ye Chui wiped the sweat from his face. This method of preparing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was unheard of, and Ye Chui also had a strong expectation for what kind of fragrance it would create. However, Ye Chui soon thought of something, walked out of the small restaurant and looked in the direction of Zhuangyan Temple - it was agreed yesterday that Hui Yin and Hui Xuan would bring the monks over, but now it was already noon, why hadn't the monks come yet
Inside a Buddhist hall in Zhuangyan Temple.
This Zhuangyan Temple is only a small temple, but it still has a Buddhist hall with a clearly defined division of labor. The name of this Buddhist hall is called the Punishment Hall, which is used to detain monks who have violated the precepts.
At this time, Huixuan, Huiyin and seven or eight other monks were being locked up inside. They all had painful looks on their faces: just when they were about to sneak out, they were caught by Mingfeng. Each of them was beaten with a stick and had to be confined in the punishment hall for three days.
In fact, these are not the most terrible things. The most terrible thing is... what to do with the delicious food at Ye Chui's place
The monks had painful expressions on their faces, suppressing their unspeakable anger...
I'm going crazy.
Outside the Punishment Hall, Mingfeng still had an angry look on his face, holding a two-foot-long board in his hand, which he used to beat people.
"Senior Brother Mingfeng." Mingjing walked over from the side at this time.
“Junior Brother Mingjing.” Mingfeng nodded hurriedly and thanked him, “Thank you for your reminder. These disciples have poor concentration and actually sneaked out to eat those delicacies. Especially Huiyin and Huixuan, who even lied to me that the smell was the smell of boiled beef and it would be over soon. Damn it, I must teach them a lesson this time. They actually dared to lie to me… Did they think I don’t know what boiled beef smells like?”
Mingfeng was able to catch monks like Huiyin and Huixuan who were about to taste the top-grade residues because of Mingjing's high level of secrecy.
"A small punishment, a big warning, I hope they can repent." Ming Jing smiled and nodded, then he took a deep breath and said thoughtfully, "The fragrance coming from outside the temple seems to be getting weaker..."
The last step in making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is to store the fragrance and preserve its flavor. The fragrance will no longer escape and will naturally become weaker and weaker. However, Mingjing obviously believed that the phone call he made last night had worked - it was an accident that he was able to know the phone numbers of those gangsters. A few days ago, a pilgrim came to burn incense and accidentally left a piece of paper with information about the tattooed man on it, which Mingjing took advantage of.
The fragrance is getting weaker and weaker now. I guess they have smashed Ye Chui's small restaurant
"You dare to disturb my mind? I will teach you a lesson!"
Mingjing thought secretly with great pride in her heart.
However, neither he, Mingfeng, nor the monk imprisoned in the Punishment Hall knew what the gradually fading fragrance meant.
The present dullness paves the way for the violent storm of fragrance that will come later.
The aroma is so strong that it fills the whole building with crazy smell! (~^~)
