dry man, dry soul

The boiled octopus is ready, and the sauce is also adjusted.

The little chef was moved by the smell of the aroma, but he didn't dare to eat it when he wanted to eat it.After all, this is a delicacy for the big boss to entertain guests.There are only a few of them in total, and they are all nervous, let alone give them a taste for chefs.

Chi Jiang, who is the chef, surrounded Gu Xijia: "Do you know where you can catch such a big octopus? Can ordinary fishing boats catch it? Will cruise ships like ours sail to places where big octopuses live? The age of octopuses is usually around 3 to 5 years old. Can it get that big? The pups look tiny."

Gu Xijia couldn't understand Chi Jiang.

Pools will look very different from normal explorers.

Explorers are often very purposeful, wandering around and exploring, in order to save their lives and achieve their goals, they use various methods and never give up.And the chef in front of him was all focused on cooking.

Probably because the crisis of the steamship has not yet fully emerged.

He asked Chi Jiang: "...you came to this boat to cook?"

Chi gave half of his brain to the big octopus, and half to his master: "I am looking for my master. My master is a chef. Wherever there are delicious ingredients, he will definitely go there. I pay attention to the ingredients, too."

The only clues to find someone are recipes and diaries.Old man Ge has eaten black bubbles, so he must have been to the beach.He might run into old man Ge's news on the way to find the big octopus.

When we get off the ship, we will see if we can call the locals to call the police.He was looking for it aimlessly by himself, it was too difficult to find.He is not a god.

The little chef was listening to the conversation between the two, and forcibly kept his eyes away from the freshly cooked eight-clawed devil octopus.

He subconsciously chatted again: "Oh, our ship is called a search ship. I heard from the master that the Jenny was originally closed for a whole year in order to find the owner of the ship, Jenny. Except for the crew, everyone on the ship came from all over the world. They invited capable people and strangers. Everyone's purpose is to find Jenny. This ship has such a nickname. Maybe we can find people by boat."

After talking about this legend, the little chef pointed to the wings of the octopus with eight claws: "So are you making the wings now?"

Gu Xijia: "..." Is the chef's mind full of food?

Chi Jiang was pulled back by the little chef's question, remembering that there was still a wing left out of the pan.The octopus meat and wings alone are not enough to feed five people.

He asked the little chef, "Is there any Angelica dahurica?"

The little chef was confused when asked: "Huh?"

The pool will sweep the entire kitchen.The back kitchen has opened up a certain space for him, but there are not many familiar spices in his field of vision.This back kitchen also mainly focuses on Western food, with some commonly used spices in the West, but relatively few ingredients that should be used in traditional Chinese food.

He flipped through his bag: "It's okay, I'll do it myself. I brought enough spices."

Gu Xijia watched silently as Chi Jiang rummaged through bags and bottles to cook.

Chi Jiang took out seven bottles in one breath: "Bay leaves, cinnamon bark, angelica dahurica, star anise, Chinese prickly ash, peppercorns, dried chilies. Little chef, please help me get some ale and rock sugar. Are there any of these?"

The little chef nodded quickly: "Yes."

The pool will take the appropriate amount of spices, and then soak these spices with boiling water.Spices are dry goods, and these dry goods are mostly sold by the pound before they are put into bottles, and even if they are packed in bags, there will be some dust and dust.Many of them also have some bitter taste.The spices that are used after soaking in boiling water will be clean and the smell will be released more easily.

He waited for the little chef to bring the things over, and then started his own way of popular science teaching: "You see, these spices have their own uses. Most of them are not edible by themselves, but each of them will produce a chemical reaction at high temperature after being put into food , exudes enough attractive aroma. This aroma can not only relieve greasy, but also increase the deliciousness of food."

This attitude of enthusiastic teaching, as if the little chef is his apprentice.

Chi will break the spices one by one and talk about them.Many of the original origins of each spice are not in the florists, but planting and food are things that florists have been passionate about for thousands of years.Spices are always unavoidable in cooking nowadays.

There is such a huge difference in taste from spice to spice that you could talk about it for an entire day.Fortunately, Chi Jiang was not so frenzied, he just briefly mentioned the name and the function of the spice.

After talking about spices, he also talked about how to put other seasonings: "Dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rock sugar, ale, cooking wine... You can watch the amount I put in. Everyone's taste is different, so you have to adjust according to your own taste. Adjust this recipe according to your taste. My recipe is more sweet and spicy, so I don’t add too much rock sugar. The ale should be submerged by two-thirds. Do not add water.”

He said it seriously, and went to get some other dishes to mix with them: "It's a waste to make braised wings with so many spices. Add some mushrooms, mushrooms are fine. Add seaweed, potatoes, and tofu. Eat. Hey, you don’t have tofu. With dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, the saltiness is enough. Adding too much of the rest will not make the taste dull. Mere vegetables will not affect the whole pot at all. Adding too much flavor will actually make it tasteless good."

The little chef was dumbfounded.

Isn't this the ultimate big mess?Put so many things, all the ingredients and all the flavors are mixed together, can it be delicious?And there is too much material.Just now I was saying that the filling is to increase the taste and remove the peculiar smell, but now I put it blindly!

And, doesn't it need to be accurate to grams?It feels random!

The little chef's dumbfoundedness did not affect Chi Jiang's performance in cooking.Even if it was a messy stew, Chi Jiang made this pot of messy stew perfectly.

"Big fire, boil and turn to low heat." He didn't stop until the heat was officially turned on, and then he rubbed the dice on Gu Xijia's white coat again, "I'll borrow it from you."

[Cooking: 33/80, judged successful. 】

Gu Xijia: "..." She wanted to pull out the scalpel.

The water in the pot has just boiled, and the rich aroma has spread from the pot.The charm of the thick oily red sauce is like a bomb in the kitchen. The bombing makes everyone dizzy, and they can't help turning their heads to spy on the delicious food.

The strong aroma of the ale makes the mouth water flow down, not to mention the aroma of other sauces and spices mixed in.

The little chef, who was still questioning the mess just now, took a deep breath, and then stared at the pot intently: "Can I have a little taste later? I will only taste it, and I will definitely not let anyone find out."

General Chi replied: "Okay, try some vegetables." Anyway, the vegetables are the ones that the kitchen cooks for him.

Obviously, it wasn't long before boarding time, but these two foods, which can be called fast dishes relatively speaking, can make people's stomachs seem to be emptied into a different world.

The dishes should be eaten fresh.General Chi sent a message to his two friends, urging them to find Kang Huali for dinner.

The two dishes he made are not suitable for lunch, and they can be eaten without a mouthful.Serve with chilled ale or sparkling water on the side.Such is the happiness of the world.

……

Shen Yu quickly circled the boat in a short time.

After checking the room, he talked to Qiao Jiu about the information in the luxury suite: "There is no surveillance equipment in the room, and the public areas are basically covered by surveillance. There are some surveillance blind spots that can be used. I took a note of it, and it's not a big problem." .”

Qiao Jiu turned on the TV in the room and let the sound of the TV cover the chatter of the two people: "Is there any strange room?"

Shen Yu built a map of the cruise ship in his mind: "Many space tourists stop. I haven't visited it yet, and I guess I can check it when there are fewer people at night. I have counted the number of rescue cabins on the ship, and generally speaking, they are enough for people on board. Everyone escapes. Of course, the premise is that they all obey the arrangement."

He thought for a while: "The doctor from the explorer lives diagonally across the door from your room. If you get injured, we can go to him first. He is lucky and can treat wounds. The profession of a doctor is indeed very important."

Qiao Jiu smiled lightly: "Important is important, but such a young doctor feels like he is just a medical student. He may not have been in contact with medicine for many years. He has very little clinical experience. If it is not for luck, it is probably a lethal medical technique."

Shen Yu was silent for two seconds: "... No matter how high the level of medical treatment is in this world, bad luck may still be a fatal medical technique."

This is true.This is a world that depends entirely on luck.

Joe Jiu laughed.

She speculated about the voyage in the worst possible way, took out her mobile phone and typed the information she got: "Tell me about the space where tourists stop. You can't go to every place in one night, We can split up. You go where there are no or few guards, and I go where I can be taken in."

She laughed and said, "After all, I have a high charm value. I believe they will be happy to let me visit for the sake of the gold bars."

Shen Yu felt that it was indeed faster to move at both ends, took a pen from the desk in the room, and drew some locations for Qiao Jiu on the map provided by the cruise ship: "Specifically, according to the specifications of the cruise ship, there should be rooms for these locations. I have to knock people out when I go in, it would be best if you can sneak in. One is the captain's room, and the other is the operating room below the ship."

The cruise ship shows only the bright storefronts and entertainment venues in front of the tourists. In Shen Yu's pen, it becomes a huge mechanical building, which is cut and exposed one by one.

He looked serious and handled the matter extremely properly.

After finishing writing, he circled the key place: "Go to the captain's room first. The captain and crew should know a lot of information that we don't know and it is difficult to ask. Including the history of this ship that will not be written on paper."

Qiao Jiu: "Yes."

Their phones vibrated.

Qiao Jiu opened it to look, and found that it was Chi Jiang who asked them to eat together: "...Let's go to Kang Huali first."

She was quite funny: "This chef really looks like he is on vacation. I don't know how dangerous this cruise ship is." Those dangers are like hanging swords, which may fall at any time.

The current calm is like a bubble, which will burst with a poke.According to the usual practice, something should have happened, but by accident, they haven't collided with any truly dangerous and weird events.
