Devil Pokémon

Lucy felt very confused.

But Lucy didn't dare to think or ask.

Because Lucy was worried that her ignorance would be exposed once she asked.

This is what Lucy doesn't want to see.

So Lucy shut her mouth tightly and pretended to understand.

After pretending like this for a while, Lucy found that she couldn't pretend anymore, because this thing was finally handed over to the kitchen for cooking. In other words, if Lucy didn't know what Ding Cheng wrote in the notebook, she would

If she can't make this thing, then she will make a joke.

Lucy:???

Lucy was shocked. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt like she had stepped on a thunderbolt.

What is a dumpling of lard?

Isn’t it really what I understand?

Lucy panicked. She felt that her guess was definitely wrong, but she couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.

So Lucy had to ask Ding Cheng tactfully: "Mr. Ding, is this runny lard bun a way of describing it? I mean, for example, we make an egg yolk-filled bread and make the egg yolk into a runny

How is your heart?"

Lucy spoke tentatively, but the more she spoke, the less confident she felt.

What is all this?

Bread filled with runny egg yolk? Isn’t this outrageous?

Lucy was very unsure, but she could only guess this way. She couldn't be allowed to make a real lard-filled bun, right? That would be outrageous.

So this runny lard must be an adjective, describing something. For example, the Internet celebrity dirty buns are actually chocolate bread. So here, Lucy also reasonably guessed that the four words "rungy lard"

The word refers to something else.

But what these four words refer to specifically. Lucy can't guess. After all, she hasn't been online for many years, and she can't keep up with the trend.

So Lucy could only make some reluctant guesses, very reluctant, so reluctant that she couldn't convince herself. Of course, such rhetoric couldn't convince Ding Cheng.

Ding Cheng frowned.

"Are these six words difficult to understand?"

Ding Cheng felt very depressed, and Lucy didn't know where her mind was going.

Ding Cheng unfolded the notebook and spread it under Lucy's eyes, "Are these six words difficult to understand?"

Lucy was about to cry.

Lucy's first reaction was one of surprise, like a bucket of cold water being poured over her head. She had thought that her guess might be outrageous, but she didn't expect that it was actually outrageous.

Mr. Ding was obviously a little angry and asked angrily, why are you so stupid? You can't understand such simple vocabulary?

Lucy's mentality collapsed at that time. She felt that she was very sorry for Mr. Ding's high expectations and could not even figure out such a trivial matter. A particularly embarrassing feeling lingered in Lucy's heart.

But Lucy really couldn't figure it out. Lucy really couldn't figure out what the words "liquid lard" meant. The meaning of this word was obviously beyond her cognitive scope.

Lucy felt that she was very bad because she had doubts about her professionalism. Originally Lucy was a very confident person, but when she met Ding Cheng, she lost her confidence for some reason. She felt that she had been

All the professional experience I had accumulated collapsed. I just felt like I had worked in vain and I was so incompetent.

Especially like being PUAed by a scumbag.

But Mr. Ding will never be a scumbag, so Lucy feels that these are all her own problems. Lucy is such a person, and she likes to look for the reasons within herself first when encountering problems.

I feel like I'm really bad. I can't do even these little things well. I really don't know how to continue. Lucy feels like her heart is heavy as a weight, so under the heavy pressure, Lucy

I just cried.

"5555555"

Lucy's cry was not only full of emotion and emotion, but also had movements and a little acting feel in it. But at the same time, Lucy really felt that she was wronged, so after acting for a while, she went straight into the scene and squatted down.

He held his head and cried loudly.

Ding Cheng:???

What kind of confusing behavior is this?

Ding Cheng looked at Lucy in confusion. If he understood correctly, it seemed that he just asked Lucy a question, and then she acted like this?

???

Ding Cheng raised his head and glanced out the window in confusion. This was not Cedar Mental Hospital, this was Aqua's castle.

But the Lucy in front of me really looked like a psychopath.

She looks more like a psychopath than the real psychopaths in the hospital.

"Okay, stop howling." Ding Cheng looked at Lucy helplessly and said.

"Please put away your tears."

"I've passed it, I've played it, sister, it really isn't like this, it's not necessary."

"Do you think it's strange for you to be like this? Okay, get up quickly. There's no stage here, so there's no need to be like this."

Ding Cheng looked down at Lucy and said, thinking that if he said this, Lucy would be angry, excited, and would rush towards him and howl harder.

But what she never expected was that after hearing this, Lucy actually stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, and then acted like nothing was wrong.

Lucy stood there as if nothing was wrong, and even gave Ding Cheng a warm smile.

Ding Cheng:???

Ding Cheng was confused by Lucy this time.

Lucy sheepishly took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes, and sheepishly apologized to Ding Cheng: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ding. I lost my temper just now. I didn't control my emotions."

"I just feel that there is a big gap in my heart, because I have always felt that I am very awesome and everyone supports me, so my positioning of myself is quite high. But today in front of you, my positioning suddenly fell into place.

After I fell asleep, I felt like I couldn’t do anything well, it was really useless, so my mentality collapsed.”

"Of course, I don't mean to criticize you by saying this. On the contrary, I want to thank you because you let me experience this pain, and the pain will only make me stronger."

Lucy shyly dug into Ding Cheng's heart, and when she reached the heart-wrenching place, tears started to flow down her eyes again.

Ding Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I can't tell you're being pretentious. Let's move on to the menu. You see, you're going off topic."

Lucy was startled and woke up as if from a dream, so she quickly got back on track.

"Mr. Ding, to be honest, I don't quite understand the meaning of 'lard flows into the heart'. Please help me clarify my doubts."

Lucy asked Ding Cheng sincerely and stopped pretending. If she had not pretended at the beginning and asked directly, the current series of things would not have happened, so all this was caused by Lucy's pretense.

"What's the profound meaning of this?" Ding Cheng was stunned.

"The big dumplings filled with lard fat are literally what they mean."

"Lard - liquid heart - big bag, literal meaning, right? Is there something I don't understand?"

Ding Cheng patiently explained to Lucy.

???

Lucy was stunned.

Is it really lard?

The expression on Miss Lucy's face is very complicated now.

Because based on her intuition about life experience, Lucy instinctively felt that this was wrong, that it shouldn't be, that it was outrageous.

But it happened that these outrageous words were said by Mr. Ding. As we all know, what Mr. Ding said must have its reason, so Mr. Ding would not be outrageous.

Then the outrageous person becomes Lucy.

Lucy:???

Am I outrageous??

Lucy was shocked, deeply confused, and deeply doubtful about life. But she wanted to say it but couldn't, so she could only hold it in hard.

Lucy held it in hard. Lucy really thought this was ridiculous, but she couldn't believe that her judgment was right, because Lucy had lost confidence in herself, so she also lost her ability to judge.

By now, Lucy was panicking.

I'm very nervous. I don't know what to believe, whether I should believe in my own standards, or what is bad or good. My mind is thinking rapidly, but I can't find the answer. Everything is always unclear.

Stir together and become more chewy.

Such a twisted mentality is reflected in a constipated expression on the face.

Lucy is constipated.

Ding Cheng naturally saw Lucy's reaction in his eyes, and then smiled slightly.

Lucy was distracted and then confused, which was good. All this was completely in line with Ding Cheng's expectations. As the person who raised the question, what Ding Cheng had to do next was to solve the problem for Lucy.

"Lucy, do you think it's outrageous and disgusting to use lard to make bun fillings? Is there something wrong with that?"

Ding Cheng asked in a very inductive manner.

The innocent Lucy was unprepared. After hearing Ding Cheng's words, she nodded vigorously, and then reacted the next second and shook her head violently.

"No, Mr. Ding, I'm not challenging your authority. But this matter really goes against my knowledge, so I'm thinking about it. Maybe after thinking about it for a while, I can follow your thinking." Lucy said humbly.

.

Ding Cheng smiled: "If you say this, it means you still don't understand. You are pretending to understand!"

Lucy:!!!

What a person who doesn’t understand but pretends to understand!

Lucy was ashamed for a moment, and cold sweat suddenly flowed down her back. It turned out that Mr. Ding had already seen the little Jiujiu in her heart.

"Lucy, let me ask you, what do you think is the essence of Chinese cuisine?" Ding Cheng asked.

"The essence of Chinese cuisine?" Lucy tilted her head and thought: "Is it the rich ingredients?"

"No." Ding Cheng shook his index finger.

"Is that a long history? A profound geographical culture?" Lucy tried to answer.

"Don't give me some written language. This is not a test. Tell me something down-to-earth, that's the truth!"

"I understand! I just want to speak human language!" Lucy took a breath and thought again: "Is it MSG?"

I have to say that this answer is very close to the correct answer, but there is still a long way to go.

"Think more concretely!" Ding Cheng induced Lucy.

"Could you be more specific?" Lucy frowned, and then she suddenly had an idea: "Is it green onions? As a Shadong native, my favorite food is green onions!"

Ding Cheng:……

"This answer is very close. Think about it again. It has wider applicability."

"A seasoning with wider applicability?" Lucy became interested and thought seriously: "Is that garlic? Can garlic be called the soul of the north?"

Ding Cheng:……

"The scope can be wider. Think about it, what are those things that are fragrant and loved by the people?"

"What's in the dishes that are loved by the people?" Lucy tilted her head and thought: "Isn't that still MSG?"

"Think about it again! Fragrant things! MSG is umami, but what is fragrant?"

Ding Cheng was a little anxious. This Lucy was too stupid. She couldn't figure it out even after such a long time. She really didn't think about it when she should think about it, and she just didn't think about it when she shouldn't!

"Something that smells good?" Lucy's slow brain turned slowly and finally found an answer that was close to the mark. But before the answer came out, Lucy was shocked!

“You mean—that stuff is lard!”

Ding Cheng clapped his hands, finally living up to my guidance!

"That's right, the answer is lard! Lucy, you are so smart!" Ding Cheng praised against his will.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ding, for your guidance. You are so polite." Lucy said happily, and then thought over Ding Cheng's words, "So the essence of Chinese cuisine is lard?"

"right!"

Lucy nodded, there seemed to be nothing wrong with saying that.

But what does this have to do with adding lard into the stuffing of steamed buns? Just a little bit is fine, the key is that there is no other stuffing in the buns, just lard. And then the lard has to be made into liquid?

Is this true?

Lucy felt that this didn't make sense, so she expressed what she was thinking directly on her face. Of course, Lucy's expression was clearly visible to Ding Cheng.

"Are you not thinking too much about it?" Ding Cheng asked friendly.

"Yes." Lucy nodded sharply.

"Let me give you some ideas."

"The essence of Chinese cuisine is lard."

"Lard is good."

"Does what I say make sense?"

"That makes sense!" Lucy nodded.

"Not bad", Ding Cheng continued: "We want to make good food, that is, to make good things for customers. Here we have adopted the form of making steamed buns. Why did we choose steamed buns instead of dumplings, wontons or noodles? Because of the steamed buns

The form is very meaningful, it can represent a group of people’s memory of food.”

"What you said is right. I can understand it too!" Lucy said with a smile that said, "This makes sense."

Ding Cheng smiled: "So, when we make lard dumplings, we take out the most essence of Chinese food and put it into a form that can best stimulate collective memory. Is there anything so bad about this?"

"There's nothing so dark." Lucy followed Ding Cheng's words, but her mind always subconsciously felt that something was a little wrong.

All the arguments are correct and every sentence is reasonable, but when these words are connected together, why is it so wrong?

Lucy is a little confused, but it doesn't matter, Lucy can now understand Mr. Ding's thoughts.

Mr. Ding has made it very clear. There is nothing to be ashamed of. If Lucy still can't understand it, it means she is still far from Mr. Ding's level.

Lucy has been successfully stunned!

Ding was pleased with the situation, pursued the victory, and made several demands on Lucy.

"First, the bun skin should be rolled out very thick, preferably 3 centimeters, because the buns are filled with lard. If the skin is not thick enough, the lard will flow out of the skin."

"Second, how to make liquid lard: first make a large barrel of lard, let it cool and solidify, scoop a spoonful directly into the buns when making them, and then steam them in the steamer, the lard will melt, this is the liquid lard.

Heart lard. What you need to pay attention to here is that the raw material must only be lard, and do not let the chef put other things in it. Because we want to present the most essence of Chinese cuisine to our guests, we must keep it

Purity.”

"Okay." Lucy listened and took a small notebook to write down carefully.

Lucy actually doesn't understand it very well yet, but she believes she will understand it soon.
