Mantra

Chapter 152

Zhao Haikun's leg injury all stemmed from an "accident" five years ago.

At that time, in order to hold a "birthday banquet", the restaurant he worked for brought in a large number of urgently needed "dry goods" such as abalone, jellyfish, and Liao ginseng.

Anyone who has eaten seafood knows that these things cannot be eaten directly. Instead, they need to be soaked in clear water first, and green salt is added to "spit out the mud" to make the "dry goods" become "wet goods" before they can be processed and eaten.

Therefore, according to the conventional processing method of the restaurant, a large amount of dry food needs to be rinsed repeatedly with clean water and salt water for a day, and then let it stand for a day before making dishes.

But the key problem is that those food ingredients will be urgently used tomorrow, and the restaurant owner can't wait for the long and cumbersome cleaning process for the sake of profit.

In desperation, the owner of the restaurant turned his head and wanted to use the method of "caustic soda" and "brittle water" to quickly process these ingredients.

The scientific name of caustic soda is sodium hydroxide, and the scientific name of brittle water is formaldehyde. These two things, one is highly corrosive and the other is highly toxic. When mixed together, the natural poison is added to the poison.

Treating water shipments with these chemicals is dangerous, but extremely fast.

It is usually necessary to change the water back and forth, and it takes two days to soak the shipment. It is treated with caustic soda brittle water. It only needs to be soaked in caustic soda for more than ten seconds, and then it is left to stand for three to two hours with brittle water. Finally, it can be washed away with clean water. Squid, sea cucumber, dried abalone and other aquatic products are big and good, without any fishy smell.

In this way, the time has been shortened by more than ten times, and they rushed to work overnight, just in time for tomorrow's banquet arrangement.

The restaurant owner's idea is very clever, but also very harmful, but even this very wicked idea is not easy to implement.

Because, treating food with caustic soda is a very "advanced" "adulterated" method, and it is also a "technical" job.

Those chemicals are highly corrosive, and the soaking and dyeing time must be adjusted to the exact second. If it is processed for a long time, the ingredients will be burnt black by caustic soda, and they will eat dead people. Water shipped fully soaked unfolded.

In short, this is a job that tests precision and hand speed. Generally, this kind of work must be done by a dedicated person, and the person who does this job must have a considerable basic knowledge of chemistry and know how to protect themselves.

But at that time, the restaurant owner really didn't have such a "talent" under his staff. He wanted to hire someone from outside, but the time was too short.

As the saying goes: "Hold Buddha's feet in the face of chaos, the more you hug, the more you will face chaos." After thinking about it, the restaurant owner couldn't do anything, and finally handed over the job to Zhao Haikun.

He knew that although Zhao Haikun was a face-to-face master and had never been in touch with the delivery process, his hand speed was second to none, and his timing was extremely accurate. He should be able to learn the process as long as he talked about it once.

After all, the job of a cook pays attention to "comprehension by analogy", Zhao Haikun is a "big master", and there are hundreds of dim sum and steamed buns in his hands every day. After more than ten years of experience in pastry kung fu, he can't think fast and be imprecise. .

But having said that, the restaurant owner is still "in the wrong", because this kind of work is only done by low-level "water platform workers", and Zhao Haikun is in charge of the case, and he is also an "abbot"-level figure in the Wu Zang Temple. People may not be happy to do this.

But helplessly, when the matter came to the "butt door", he had to ask others to talk about it first, whether he was happy or not.

So, the boss had the cheek to tell Zhao Haikun about it that night.

Sure enough, Zhao Haikun directly refused as soon as he came up, and asking him to condescend to work as a water bench worker was the next best thing. The main thing was that Zhao Haikun felt that this matter was "damaging Yin virtue", and the chef of Wuzang Temple is most particular about "conscience", so he can't break the rules , nor can you embarrass the founder of the Confucius Temple, Confucius...

But what he didn't expect at all was that when he rejected the boss' request, the boss... knelt down for him!

The boss's kneeling made Zhao Haikun panic at that time.

The boss told Zhao Haikun weepingly: The "birthday star" who will hold a banquet tomorrow is a well-known "big brother" in the local area, and the dried water is also ordered by the big brother. He can't afford it. It's over, now this Zhao Haikun is the only "straw" that can help the hotel in an emergency, please help my brother no matter what...

Zhao Haikun's biggest advantage is that he is willing to help others, but sometimes he is too "happy", and the "joy" will be extremely sad.

Under the crying and begging of the boss, Zhao Haikun's ears softened, and he agreed, "Don't make an example".

Later, together with two water table cooks, he studied the method of "shipping" with chemicals overnight.

Just as the restaurant owner thought, Zhao Haikun got started very quickly. After two experiments with the two water table workers, he fully mastered the technique of "soaking hair".The ratio of caustic soda and brittle water is also just right.Before three o'clock in the morning, all the "water shipments" were processed.The work was done neatly, without leaving any tails.

After the completion of the work, Zhao Haikun let out a long breath, arranged for the plumbers to clean up the scene, and then went to the toilet for convenience.

But what Zhao Haikun never imagined was that when he was alone, and just walked between the aisle from the back kitchen to the toilet, he suddenly felt his eyes dim, and then fell down uncontrollably as if he was stepping on cotton ground , and then fainted.

It turned out that while Zhao Haikun was busy processing water shipments, an invisible "hand" had already planted a "time bomb" on him, and because of this bomb, Zhao Haikun fainted, and then died forever. Lost health and... legs.

The reason for this is that although Zhao Haikun is smart, he has no basic knowledge of chemistry. He only knows that caustic soda is corrosive and brittle water is highly poisonous, but he doesn't know how to prevent these poisons from eroding the body.

Like all people who have no experience in chemistry, Zhao Haikun naively thought that as long as these things are arranged properly and he does not eat or touch them by mistake, then he will be absolutely safe and will not be poisoned.

However, he was wrong.

Years after the incident, Zhao Haikun knew that the thing that made him faint that night was one of the chemicals he used to process the shipment..."brittle water".

Brittle water is formaldehyde, which is volatile, and people will be poisoned if they inhale it too much, and they will be in a coma. In addition, Zhao Haikun is working overtime overnight to deliver goods until early in the morning. Inadvertently, his body is overdrawn.

Under the effect of this inside and outside, Zhao Haikun fainted.And it didn't matter that he was dizzy, because he had "urinary incontinence" at that time.

But what was even more unfortunate was that at the moment he fainted, he overturned the sundries in the aisle and broke a pot containing caustic soda.

Just like that, the caustic soda powder was mixed with urine, releasing a lot of heat, quickly burning his lower body, and changing his life...

When Zhao Haikun woke up in the hospital, he had to face a cruel reality...
