I have special transcendence skills

Nandu City is located in the south of the Yangtze River. According to geography books, it has a subtropical monsoon climate. Before June, the sun is already scorching. The big white sleeveless old man's shirt, the holiday-style pants on the lower body, walking leisurely with a cattail fan, has the air of a wild crane.

Among the many hot-blooded people, Zhang Xiaoming in suits and leather shoes was particularly conspicuous. His shirt buttons were meticulously twisted to the top, the knot of the simple tie was close to the pointed collar of the white shirt, and his coat was ironed flat and put on the outermost layer.

His attire is exactly the same as that of the industry elites who work in the Big Four.

It's a pity that he didn't walk in the central business district lined with tall buildings and skyscrapers, but in the scenic area in the north-central part of Nandu City.The curling cigarettes spread from far to near with the wind, and the temple made of black tiles and red walls looms among the layers of trees.

Most of the people walking on the flat road in front of the mountain gate are tourists with umbrellas and sunglasses of various colors, or good men and women holding paper bags of incense sticks in their arms. Anyone who meets Zhang Xiaoming can't help but look back, look at him, and speculate about him in his heart. intention to come here.

People's skeptical, puzzled, excited, and guessing eyes had no effect on Zhang Xiaoming. He stood still in front of the mountain gate and looked up at the plaque inscribed by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

Sheshan Qingliang Temple.

Zhang Xiaoming took a deep breath, inhaling the air mixed with the smell of incense and elm bark, tears almost filled his eyes.

Those ghost things are finally gone! ! !

……

Zhang Xiaoming has a profession that most people envy—food editor-in-chief. He has many titles hanging on his head: well-known food self-media, connoisseur, master chef, food judge, expert food expert, etc...

Modern people have a consensus on this occupation, that is, they are "either eating or on the way to eat".

This is true, but apart from eating, Zhang Xiaoming also has many jobs, such as writing reviews for magazines, listing recommended restaurants on Weibo, interviewing famous chefs, and so on.

He has a variety of skills, operating self-media, posting photos of food, and writing words that make people's index fingers move, all of which are not difficult for him.

In addition, the key to Zhang Xiaoming's foothold in the industry is that he has an extremely delicate tongue.

People can taste sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and many other tastes because they have taste buds. Taste buds are taste receptors, and nerves transmit tastes to the brain to produce taste perception.There are about 3000 taste buds on the adult tongue. As the age increases, the number of taste buds gradually decreases, and the sensitivity to taste becomes lower and lower.

That's why many elderly people like to eat heavy-tasting food. Only heavy-tasting food can let them taste the taste.

Zhang Xiaoming has more taste buds than ordinary people, and the taste he can distinguish is far higher than the normal value of people. When eating a dish, most people can only distinguish whether it is delicious or not, but he knows the taste What kind of seasonings are put in? After eating too much food, I even know how to adjust the ratio to make the dishes more delicious.

The omnipotent tongue makes him a duck to water in the industry. As long as he has been to and given good reviews to the store, it will attract gourmets, and the store will use it as a promotional name. How many people subscribe to his WeChat official account, and his Weibo fans are in the tens of millions, and even the food guide he published has a very high sales volume.

This job has brought him money and fame, plus Zhang Xiaoming is young and good-looking, and even attracted a large number of young and beautiful female fans. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a winner in life.

However, since last week, Mr. Life Winner has had a small annoyance.

He seems to be able to see things that ordinary people can't see.

……

Last weekend, Zhang Xiaoming came to a roast duck restaurant as scheduled. This is a new restaurant, which is opened in the commercial area of ​​the city center. It is very popular among young and middle-aged people because of its proper promotion methods. This restaurant claims that the roast duck method is a secret. The old Beiping Bianyifang Roast Duck.The fat-to-dry ratio of sorghum noodles for duck filling and the time of dry pressing of rice wine are very knowledgeable.

For this kind of new restaurant that popped up suddenly under the banner of an old brand, Zhang Xiaoming actually looks down on him. They are all part of the chef circle. Even if he doesn't cook, the name of a food editor has brought him a lot. It is convenient, and has a lot of research on the succession of teachers in the circle.

Peking Duck is an old-fashioned dish, but any school that can be named has ducks that have been made for decades or hundreds of years. He has inquired about this new restaurant, and he has never learned from any old man. He was not well-known in the industry before. It is nonsense to talk about the old cheap shop in Beiping without being an apprentice.

Not to mention that he is blind, and it is impossible to talk about the number one roast duck in China!

How dare you even invite him to go!

Zhang Xiaoming went there with the intention of humiliating the store and writing a bad review.

……

There were a lot of people in the shop, and the boss had reserved a private room for Zhang Xiaoming. Two chefs and five waiters were dedicated to serving him alone, and the young boss of the shop was even on the sidelines.

"Squeak-"

Bite off the piece of skin in one bite.The skin of the duck is roasted crispy, with a beautiful brown-red texture. The thin skin is full of fat, and the lines of the muscles can even be seen through the bright brown skin.

The fragrance of the fruit wood penetrated into the flesh, and the oil flowed into his lips and tongue, the oily water was oily but not greasy, revealing a unique light fragrance of fruit wood.

"How?" The young boss laughed beside him. This man was mediocre, and his eyes didn't have any firmness or wisdom.

Zhang Xiaoming did not speak. He ate duck skin, duck meat, duck neck, duck wings, and even duck buttocks. He also tasted the sweet noodle sauce and bread that wrapped the duck meat. He not only mixed it with the meat, but also picked it out. .

The boss showed a smug smile. He thought that Zhang Xiaoming, like those diners, was overwhelmed by the taste of the duck!

Who knew that Zhang Xiaoming put down his chopsticks and faced him with a gentle face, but his tongue was like a poisoned knife, leaving countless marks on his heart and body: "The taste is barely strong," he said with a smile, "even You stole all the sauce ingredients to get this taste, so you really don’t have any talent, why don’t you quit your job as a chef and go back to the field.”

The young man's smile froze: "What does Mr. Zhang mean?"

"What I mean is, you stole your teacher and you think others don't know about it?" He shook his head and said, "Old Beiping Bianyifang does have successors, and the famous Quanjude Roast Duck is opened by an apprentice of Bianyifang."

"However, there are differences between good and bad chefs. As long as it is a chain store brand, there is no guarantee that every store can achieve the original taste."

"I'm not talented. I have eaten the roast duck made by Mr. Xie. He is the third-generation direct descendant of Quanjude." He laughed mockingly, "Not to mention the way of stuffing the duck, even the ingredients of the sauce are exactly the same, but Fermentation time and roasting techniques are lacking.”

"If you want to master the specific time, you need a lot of repeated practice and outstanding talent. These things cannot be copied casually."

Seeing the pale face of the young man in front of him, he showed a ghostly smile and said, "Wait for your ruin!"

Stealing a teacher is the most serious crime in the well-behaved and even old-fashioned chef world. If you are just rejected by your peers, it seems that you can barely manage to open a shop, but if you are promoted by a good food editor, you will be with the stars. Wearing fakes on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival looks like it will be "notorious for a long time".

It's a pity that Zhang Xiaoming is not a sympathetic person, and he is even more honest with the dregs of the industry.

Want to hide it from my tongue?

Zhang Xiaoming smiled: Go dreaming!

……

At that time, the humiliation was refreshing, and Zhang Xiaoming encountered all kinds of strange things at the crematorium after returning home.

When I opened the door of the house, I saw that the furnishings in the house were bright and beautiful, with accumulated dust, spider webs all over the place, rats, geckos, centipedes and other myriad insects crawling over the ground, and there was a strong musty smell.

Zhang Xiaoming:? ? ?

Where is this!

After closing the door and opening it again, it became his home again.

Sleep is not stable at night, tossing and turning, sleepless at night, even when he fell asleep, he felt that there was something heavy lying on his body, which made him unable to breathe. with.

What kind of ghost hits the wall, cold air rises from the soles of the feet, scarlet liquid flows out of the faucet, etc., etc., are countless.

Zhang Xiaoming: "This, is this a ghost encounter?" He was a little scared at first, but then, the perfect materialist world view overwhelmed everything, especially after watching a few issues of "Approaching Science", he felt full of excitement all over his body. The power of science, all monsters and chaos can not shake him!

However, after a few days, things changed again.

He not only bumped into a ghost and hit the wall, but also saw ghosts!

……

Blind Zhang is not blind, but in order to make a living, he has to wear small round sunglasses all the time, and he also has a stick for the blind in his hand.

It is said that "there is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in the arts." The patriarch said that all cultivators have to suffer five disadvantages and three disadvantages. The five disadvantages refer to widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability. .He thinks that he bears more than one of them, he is old and has no wife, no money, not to mention rights, he has inherited three of them!

But customers who are superficial and poor in knowledge think that Taoists must be crippled, with broken hands and legs, and a blind man is the best, because a blind man is simply a half-immortal!

So he had to pretend to be blind. After a long time, he also has the demeanor of a half-immortal, and he is very famous in this Tianqiao area.

This morning, he welcomed the No.3 guest. This guest was quite strange, not a young couple curious about fortune-telling, nor a superstitious old grandparent, nor a student seeking peace of mind for his future.

Zhang Xiaoming in a suit and leather shoes said with a haggard face, "I heard you can see ghosts?"

Blind Zhang stretched out his fingers to lift the small round sunglasses and said, "The living will not be seen, but the dead will be seen."

"I can't see living people with this trick, but people in the underworld, black and white, can be seen."

"Really?!" Zhang Xiaoming's eyes lit up, "Then you can see her?" Pointing, the girl with long hair and white skirt giggled.

Blind Zhang raised his small round glasses silently, this, he has been cheating for so long, he has never seen a real psycho.

It's fine to lie to a young couple, but it's not so good to lie to a psychopath, right?

So he said sincerely: "This benefactor, I didn't see that you are full of anger, the five elements belong to gold, and you have stellar energy in your body. Ordinary ghosts are not allowed to get close to you."

Zhang Xiaoming was furious: "Nonsense!"

If the ghost is not close to him, what is the ghost baby on his bed, what is the pale homeboy thinking in the toilet, what is the young lady hanging from the ceiling, what is the white skirt tugging on his suit jacket? !

Is it all his hallucination? !

How can it be!

Blind Zhang: "..."

Hey, why are you so angry?

"Maybe it's because I don't have a deep enough morality, so I can't see ghosts around you." Blind Zhang thought, it is said that killing people with mental illness is not against the law. .

"If the benefactor has any doubts, just walk 300 meters to the north and watch your three fires, and see that they complement each other with that place. I'm afraid there will be a great opportunity."

Zhang Xiaoming had no choice but to turn on the navigation and head north.

Five minutes later, a blue road sign hung above his head, with white characters on a blue background, which was very clear.

Qingliang Temple Scenic Area!
