There are pieces of green lotus in the clear pool in front of the Zen room in the back room. The lotus seems to have been put away, exuding a faint fragrance. om The old brine passed down by the Zhou family and the new brine from Zhou Yi are placed next to the clear pool.

On a mahogany table, the braised pig's trotters in the hands of the great monk Mingwei have disappeared. He has a bamboo chopstick in his hand, but he is not in a hurry to taste it. Instead, he sniffs the two plates of braised water with an expression on his face.

He also gradually became serious

This great monk finally felt as solemn as a monk who paid homage to the Three Treasures. Unfortunately, it was these two plates of brine that made him become serious.

Except for Zhou Yi and his son, everyone was a little nervous, especially Qiu Zhonghou and the Zhou family. Although no matter what the outcome, it has become a big joke to pursue Zhou Yi's criminal responsibility, but they still hope to get some justice for themselves.

With a favorable result, even if Secretary Liao wanted to help Zhou Yi, he would still have some concerns, and Qiu Zhonghou would not be completely unfounded, so he would have time to move up and down to protect himself.

When the great monk touches his lips, it affects whether the Zhou family has committed a crime of frame-up and Qiu Zhonghou's political life. The monk's mouth is terrible. Now Zhou Yaoqing really wants to braise the meat of the Zhou family.

They all came over and stuffed the monk's mouth.

"Okay, no wonder the old man of the Zhou family thinks so. It turns out that the reason why he is so stupid is because of his years of experience. He is so stupid. He said why the braised pork I make always tastes bad.

Well, it turns out that this is where the problem lies. Amitabha is so good."

Secretary Liao coughed and said to himself, Master Wei, after all, you are also a contemporary high-ranking person. Why do you reveal your true feelings to my acquaintance? Zhou Yi and others also looked at each other, thinking to themselves that this is a monk? Not to mention eating meat.

, and even scolded him, he sounded like a fellow from the Northeast, a hard-blooded man?

"Master is really a gourmet. My family's ancestral stew has this magical effect. This kind of stew is something that no one can make. Master, please taste it slowly. If you like it, our Zhou family is willing to give it to you as a gift."

A jar of old stew"

Zhou Changyao's eyes lit up, and he felt that there was something right.

"Amitabha, if you can't do it with any kind of love, you have to let me taste it before I can tell you."

The great monk rinsed his mouth with white water, dipped his chopsticks into Zhouyi's brine, and tasted it carefully.

"Okay, okay, okay, great boy, great benefactor Zhou, great master of 'Wangqi Courtyard'!"

That is to say, after taking a sip, Mingwei's face was full of surprise and he nodded repeatedly as he looked at Zhou Yi. But Zhou Yi was stunned. Even Wangqi Bieyuan knew that this monk's life was not in vain. No wonder he just talked about his own affairs.

Does he know? Unexpectedly, he is so famous now that even the great monk in Shanyin Province has heard about it.

"Zhou family, are you saying that this benefactor of Zhouyi stole your family's ancestral brine?" Mingwei asked.

"Yes, Master, you just said that the old stew of the Zhou family has been aged for many years, and even someone with a high income like you cannot make it, let alone a young boy like Zhou Yi? So the lost stew in my family must be from them

Father and son stole it!”

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Zhou Changfeng rushed to answer.

"Donor Ling, do you think so too?" Monk Mingwei glanced at Zhou Changfeng, without nodding or shaking his head, and instead asked Ling Chong.

"I just can't taste the difference between these two kinds of brine. As for whether Zhou Yi and his son committed theft, it depends on how the master tastes it and the final judgment of the court." Ling Chong said with a smile.

"You are just a slippery man, but it's no wonder. With your tongue, you really have no ability to distinguish between these two kinds of brine. Damn it, Amitabha, it's so good. It's also because Donor Zhou's craftsmanship is too good.

Let alone you, even I can hardly tell the difference."

Mingwei glanced at Vice Mayor Qiu and Zhou Jiaru: "Whoever said these two kinds of brine are the same is making a loophole."

This monk is really a different kind. Not only can he say dirty words, but he also uses a few slang words from time to time. However, emptiness is color, and color is emptiness. There are many beasts in the world, and those who are righteous are just like slaughtering dogs. Maybe this is the real eminent monk.

must.

The eminent monk sneered and said: "These two kinds of brine are both top-quality brine, because the materials used are the same, and the craftsmanship of the maker is also difficult to distinguish. It is easy to confuse what they use, but there is still a difference between the two! The old brine of the Zhou family

, what is better is the thickness, which is accumulated over many years, and cannot be compared with the new marinade. This thickness is just a feeling, not a real gourmet, and cannot be tasted! As for the new marinade made by Zhou Yi, then

It's really amazing. Although it lacks the heaviness accumulated over the years compared to Zhou Jie Ai Lao Lu, it is more brave and refined. Specifically reflected in the 'layered freshness and saltiness', this feature is

Characteristics that the Zhou family may have once possessed, but lost due to the passage of time."

As expected, he is a great expert. Hearing this, Zhou Yi smiled slightly. There is no need to say anything else. The most important difference is that the flavor has been found. This person can discover this just by tasting the brine, not the braised pork made with brine.

The secret is definitely not an ordinary foodie, but the foodie emperor among professional foodies, King Yao!

"Master, don't you know what 'layered salty and soy sauce' means?"

Although Secretary Liao did not meet the monk in secret this time to eat the braised pork he cooked, he may have become a close friend of the monk, or at least he must be an amateur foodie. He was really curious after hearing this, and even took his chopsticks and dipped them in some brine.

When I put it in my mouth, I just felt that it was salty and bitter, and I really couldn't feel the salty or soy flavor.

"Amitabha, Donor Liao is asking for trouble if he comes to taste brine even though he is not in a state of perfection."

When it comes to eating, Mingwu immediately gushed: "This kind of 'layered saltiness and soy sauce' can only be eaten when it is made into braised pork. Moreover, ordinary people just feel that it is very delicious, but they cannot taste the layers."

Only those who have eaten for a few years can tell the difference. To put it simply, the braised pork made with Zhouyi's brine will have a fresh and salty taste that stimulates the taste when you first eat it.

Because salty is the king of flavors, it will not destroy the flavor of the meat itself, but will make it more prominent."

"The best thing is that after eating, the saltiness in the braised pork will gradually fade away, from fresh saltiness to soy sauce flavor. It is not that there is no saltiness at this moment, but the saltiness at this time comes from the soy sauce and not the salt.

In the middle, the diners eat less and less salty, and gradually no longer feel the salty taste, leaving only the meaty flavor of Amitabha in their mouths. This is really a wonderful idea, with the fresh, salty and soy sauce flavor, whoever gets one will be the overlord of the braised pork world.

But Zhou Almsgiver is able to blend the two flavors into one, reaching the highest state of "the more you eat, the lighter the taste" in the esophagus. If anyone has any doubts, I will use Almsgiver Zhou's brine to cook some braised pork. It only takes two days.

An hour is enough”

Looking at his anxious look, it was obvious that he couldn't help being seduced by the brine and wanted to run to cook some meat. Secretary Liao grabbed the monk and said, "Master, wait a moment to see if he is being harmed." 'Are there any problems?"

"Mr. Zhou, now that things have happened, do you have anything else to say?"

Hu Wannian was good at leadership intentions. He knew at a glance that Secretary Liao was going to give Zhou Yi an explanation, so he acted as a pawn and lit the first fire. As long as Zhou Yaoqing said that the lost brine was not stolen by Zhou Yi and his son, Zhou Yi would He didn't know that if he wanted to sue the Zhou family, Secretary Liao would definitely hold Qiu Zhonghou accountable. As a municipal leader in charge of political and legal work, if he had such a hasty joint handling of the case, it would be fine if the case was solved or if Zhou Yi was an ordinary person. , but not only was the case not settled, but I also encountered 'Mr. Zhou', who even Secretary Liao was extremely polite to. How could someone named Qiu have a good outcome?

"Victory, look"

Zhou Yaoqing glanced at his grandson. Now that things have happened, the Zhou family has to have someone to talk to, so they can only place their hopes on their grandson, who is a law student.

"Secretary Liao, Mayor Qiu, and Director Hu, this does not prove that Zhou Yi and his son did not steal my brine!"

Zhou Shengli shook his head and said: "As the master said, my Uncle Yi is a young talent in the esophagus. Just like after he stole my brine, figured out the formula, and then brewed it himself, doesn't this count as theft? Just like him. Can you prove his innocence?"

"Zhou Shengli, this is a strong argument. You are studying law. Don't you understand that criminal cases are different from civil cases and the burden of proof lies entirely with the prosecution?"

Hu Niu sneered: "Yes, even if Comrade Zhou can't prove this, you can't prove that he stole your brine. Master Mingwei's appraisal is enough to rule out the possibility of Comrade Zhou committing the crime. Isn't this clear enough? ?”

"Officer Hu, I can prove it!"

"Xiao Zhou," Secretary Liao frowned and said, "The matter is already very clear. You don't need to do anything else."

"It's okay, Secretary Liao, I want to convince some people, and I won't be able to question you even a single word in the future!"

Zhou Yi sneered and said: "Master Mingwei, I will borrow your temple's kitchen to make another pot of brine. The formula of this pot of brine remains the same, the technique remains the same, but I want it to taste far better than the Zhou family's old brine. That is to say, this pot of brine will be more successful than the ones I made before, and it will be Yao’s first brine!”

"Yao's first brine? Impossible, impossible. The brine you made before has reached its peak and is impeccable. Is it possible to break through again?"

Mingwei's fat face flushed with excitement, and she smacked her lips repeatedly and said: "But I would rather believe in you, Amitabha, Almsgiver Zhou, don't let me down!"

"Zhou Yi, you!"

Zhou Yaoqing was so angry that he blew his beard: "The first one under Yao? Zhou Yi, do you still have ancestors in your eyes? You are bullying the master and destroying the ancestors!"

"Deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors? If our ancestors had knowledge, I would be happier if they saw that their descendants could be better than others. Master Mingwei, please take me to the kitchen of your temple."

"Haha, okay, okay, almsgiver Zhou, come with me. I'm not boasting. Lao Na's kitchen has all the seasonings. You can get whatever you want."

Mingwei smiled and said: "But I have a condition. I want to watch from the side while you are making the brine, is that okay?"
