The hand Tianming was most worried about was unscathed, still intact and rosy, and was holding the pear tightly.
And the pear he thought was chosen by the chef to show off his skills was unscathed and placed in his hand exactly as it was.
"Huh?"
Tianming looked at the fruit in his hand and asked, "So... what did you do?"
"Hehe! Boy, watch it." Cook Ding smiled proudly, and deftly pinched the small pedicle of the big green pear without using a knife, and pulled it up. The skin of the whole pear was directly separated from the flesh, except for the bottom part.
What was covered by Tianming's palm is still on top.
"Ouch!" Tianming immediately exclaimed when he saw this. Cake
This fat man, despite his humble appearance, is quite capable. He can actually use his fingers to remove all the flesh from a pear with a kitchen knife.
However, before Tian Ming could finish his surprise, Cook Ding smiled again, and the hand holding the pear skin shook slightly. After a small clattering sound, small pieces immediately began to fall down from the pear skin.
In the blink of an eye, the pear skin shell, which is almost a semi-ellipsoid and maintains the overall shape of the pear, turns into an exquisitely carved model with hollow patterns.
Obviously, Cook Ding not only peeled off the skin completely, but also made a carving on it.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this kind of knife craftsmanship is amazing.
Tianming, who knew nothing about the theory of the cook Ding's explanation of the ox, truly saw this skill for the first time, which had impressed Zhuang Zhou so much in the past.
"Wow!!!" Tianming's eyes widened to their maximum size and he looked at Cook Ding Cake in disbelief
Cook Ding was obviously very pleased with the respectful gaze, and raised his head proudly, "It's not over yet, boy."
"What else?" Tianming was even more surprised. The hand holding the pear couldn't help shaking it, and he saw that the whole smooth peeled pear was instantly broken into hundreds or even thousands of tiny pieces, as if it had been carefully chopped.
Like stinky seeds, they all fell from Tianming’s fingers.
"Awesome! So awesome!" Tianming finally couldn't help but praise directly.
"Haha, you have a lot of eyesight!" Chef Ding laughed, his eyes narrowed into two crescents.
From the mouths of Pirate Zhi and others, he knew how difficult it was for his new giant to deal with. Today, if he can worship him so much, Cook Ding will inevitably be very proud.
But before he could be happy for too long, Tianming, whose wonder subsided, asked a key question:
"So... does this have anything to do with me?" Cake
Although Chef Ding's skill of chopping fruits with his hands is indeed cool, Tianming couldn't see any logical relationship with the topic they discussed before.
What about his talent?
What about his compensation?
There used to be a pear, but now it has become a piece of pieces on the ground.
"Uh..." Chef Ding's smile immediately froze.
………………
Cake on the outskirts of Songhai City
Yan Lu followed Zhang Liang all the way out of the city and headed north, already more than ten miles away.
Although Zhang Liang didn't reveal a word to him, Yan Lu still roughly guessed that this guy was probably going to take him to meet someone or someone.
Yan Lu couldn't be sure who it would be, but it should be... how should I put it, the rebels in the court's mouth, or the anti-Qin alliance?
Of course Xiaoshengxianzhuang knew something about the massive anti-Qin alliance launched by the Mohist giants many days ago, and Yan Lu also heard about it.
Zhang Liang left Little Sage Village for a while at that time, saying he was going on a trip, but in fact... how could it be such a coincidence?
Both Yan Lu and Fu Nian had some guesses in their minds.
However, taking into account the relationship between Zhang Liang and Liusha, and the relationship between Liusha and the empire, the two brothers are not completely sure that Zhang Liang went to join the rebel group. Cake
Yan Lu had doubts before, but now he is completely convinced.
So his mood was a little complicated and he didn't know how to treat his junior brother.
After the dull journey continued for a little more than a quarter of an hour, the two arrived at their destination. However, it was not the Mo family's suburban stronghold, but a temporary independent house.
Unlike Zhang Liang, who has basically gained the trust of the previous generation giant Yan Dan, the Mo family has almost zero intelligence on Yan Lu and has no understanding at all. Naturally, it is impossible to expose the location of important strongholds to him so casually, so they set up
This meeting place.
"We're here, senior brother." Zhang Liang stopped, looked sideways at Yan Lu and smiled.
Yan Lu looked up and looked at this simple wooden house, and said solemnly, "The answer you gave me is inside?"
"Senior brother, please." Zhang Liang nodded slightly, then waved sideways, signaling Yan Lu to come in. Cake
Yan Lu paused for a moment, then Shi Shiran stepped inside, pushed open the wooden door, and saw two figures, one man and one woman, both handsome and beautiful.
He has never seen these two people, but he can probably recognize them - these days, their portraits are posted on bulletin boards in the city.
Due to the outstanding appearance of the two people, Yan Lu recognized them even though the portrait did not particularly fit him.
At the same time, the two people who saw Yan Lu coming in also took the initiative to introduce themselves.
The man took half a step forward, bowed his hands and said, "Gao Jianli of the Mo family has met Mr. Yan Lu."
The woman bowed slightly and said, "The Snow Girl of the Mo family has met Mr. Yan Lu."
Yan Lu squinted his eyes and sighed in his heart, they were indeed the two leaders of the Mo family. Cake
………………
"A handyman!?" Xiang Liang's voice was filled with confusion and surprise, and he looked at his nephew with slightly widened eyes.
Fan Zeng was also puzzled, stroking his beard and asked, "Shaoyu, why do you suspect an ordinary servant at Youjian Inn?"
"That is the most important secret stronghold of the Mo family in the city. Logically speaking, Master Ban and the others will definitely eliminate all unstable factors in the inn."
"So..." Shao Yu scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "But from my observation, it seems that the handymen hired by Shopkeeper Pao Ding are not from the Mo family, and they don't know the true identity of their boss. They are just ordinary people.
."
"If someone knows that something is wrong with Chef Ding, they might take the opportunity to sneak in..."
"Well... I'll go talk to Master Ban and the others about this later." Fan Zeng brushed his beard with his palm, which seemed to acknowledge Shao Yu's worries to a certain extent. Cake
However, after all, there is an inn that belongs to the Mo family. Even if the Xiang family has a very close relationship with the Mo family, they have no right to comment. At most, they can find an opportunity to mention a few words - they cannot say more, otherwise it will appear that they do not trust the ability of the Mo family. "Let's talk about why you specifically associate it with the guy named Shi Lan?"
"Uh..." Shaoyu scratched his cheek in embarrassment and replied hesitantly, "The main thing is...feeling."
"That person gave me a very strange feeling. He seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets. He didn't look like an ordinary person."
"And I always feel a strange sense of awkwardness from him, but I can't explain it at the moment... There should be something incongruous, but I just can't find it."
"Of course, there is another substantive reason - he is the person who visits the Little Saint Xian Manor the most frequently in this inn, other than the shopkeeper, Cook Ding."
