Chapter 30 1. The magical effect of honey

The Mid-Autumn Festival comes in August, and the big and round moon shines on the endlessly flowing Huangpu River. Mei Xuanzi's recent actions have caused chaos in the Jianghuai area, and the business at the grandfather's hall has become more and more deserted.That night, Zuo Yongchan from "Tianshengdao" came again. "How is it? Has the inner ghost been found?" Zuo Yongchan asked. Grandpa nodded slightly. Zuo Yongchan chuckled: "Grandpa believes in my younger brother this time." Grandpa kept quiet. Zuo Yongchan said again: "Last time I talked about the matter of getting married to Jinlan, how did grandpa think about it? My younger brother has been waiting to make friends with grandpa. Grandpa has never heard from him. I don't know what grandpa means?"

This is exactly what my grandfather has been thinking about. The last time Zuo Yongchan visited late at night, he asked "Tianshengdao" and "Muzilian" to merge into one and jointly deal with the "Plum Blossom Club". The support of the great man, the grandfather asked him what is the big man, Zuo Yongchan said: "You can be as big as you want! Within three years, there will be a big reshuffle of the 'huidaomen' across the country!" After finishing speaking, facing the grandfather Smile mysteriously. "Now, I have helped my grandfather to find out the traitor. My grandfather is wise and wise. I don't know that there is an expert behind Mei Xuanzi. Such a big storm, even the government has been involved. If my grandfather hesitates, I'm afraid Mu Zilian 'The whole army will be wiped out!" Zuo Yongchan looked at his grandfather and said.

The grandfather sighed and said: "The head of the left has never said who the big man behind it is, so I dare not act rashly!" Zuo Yongchan became anxious: "That's right..." He swallowed the words again, then smiled and said, "Grandfather, let's just wait for the situation to change. After a while, if Grandfather feels helpless, You can find me at the house." After saying that, he walked away. Grandfather looked at Zuo Yongchan's back, feeling more and more heavy.Ever since Mei Xuanzi made a big splash to build momentum, Grandfather has vaguely felt that there is an undercurrent surging in Jianghuai, like a giant python, shuttling between various forces, and what comes out will be a tsunami of the entire Jianghuai!

The grandfather secretly thought about the next countermeasures. What is going on with Zuo Yongchan's big reshuffle of the "huidaomen" across the country?After the Revolution of 1911, China under the rule of the Kuomintang was united in name, but in fact it was divided by warlords. It is not something that one or two forces can do to manipulate the national confederations. Do you want to join forces to make big things happen again?Since 1911, the situation has changed suddenly, and the suffering China is groaning in the vicissitudes of history. Is China going to be in chaos again?Grandpa thought hard.

"Grandfather, Second Master, Zhang Zizhan, Huang Farong and others are asking to see you!" the butler said.Grandpa nodded Xuanjin. Erbatou, Zhang Zizhan, and Huang Farong walked in with smiles on their faces.Grandpa saw, what happened to these three people?Good luck! After Erbatou was seated, he raised his head and said with a grin, "Grandpa, the situation is broken!" Grandpa was taken aback: "What's broken?" "Mei Xuanzi's Three Gathering Great Immortal and Immortal Food Noodles!" Grandpa's eyes lit up immediately.With Erbatou waving his hand, Huang Farong and Zhang Zizhan stepped forward, only then did the grandfather realize that they were holding something in their hands, Zhang Zizhan was holding a bowl of noodles, and Huang Farong was carrying a glass jar.

Erbatou looked at the grandfather, then at Huang Farong and Zhang Zizhan, and said, "Show it to the grandfather!" Zhang Zizhan put the noodle bowl on the tea table. Huang Farong picked up the glass jar and poured the sticky yellow stuff into the noodles. Grandfather stared at the noodles. The clock rang, and the room was silent. After a long time, a miracle appeared, the noodles in the bowl began to melt, and it took about an incense stick to melt away. Grandpa was shocked: "What's in the jar?" Huang Farong smiled and blinked her big eyes: "Honey!" "Honey?"

"Yes!" Zhang Zizhan said excitedly, "I checked western biology books, and there is amylase in honey, which can hydrolyze starch. When Mei Xuanzi practiced it on the street, he must have put honey in the pot beforehand. The noodles don’t change much, Mei Xuanzi can pick the noodles into a bowl, and when he finishes eating, exactly fifteen minutes later, the noodles in the other bowls will also melt!” Grandpa nodded and smiled, although he didn't know what "amylase" was, he said to Zhang Zizhan, "Tell me in detail." Zhang Zizhan said: "Since I saw Mei Xuanzi's performance, I have experimented with various raw materials after returning home, pepper water, tangerine peel soup, sea water, vinegar, everything I can think of, and then I went to St. John's Church University In the library, I saw a piece of information in a book called "Biochemical Essentials", which records that in 1883, French biochemists discovered the substance 'enzyme'. There are many kinds of enzymes, and the starch in honey Enzymes are the most stable, no conversion will occur below 40 degrees, and can quickly hydrolyze starch..."

Grandpa listened carefully and couldn't help but marvel at the advanced technology of the West!Jiang Xiangyi's family has been challenged unprecedentedly in the new era. Perhaps only God knows whether they can continue to rejuvenate. "When did you crack it?" Grandpa asked suddenly. Zhang Zizhan said, "Actually, it was early..." Huang Farong immediately interrupted Zhang Zizhan's words: "Actually, Zizhan went to the academy to read books a long time ago, and he didn't discover the secret until this morning." Grandpa glanced at Huang Farong, nodded and said, "Yes, good."

Seeing that the time is right, Erbatou hurriedly said: "Grandfather, since Zizhan followed his grandfather, he has been loyal and made great achievements many times. Now the position of Sibatou has also been poured out. You might as well promote Zizhan as the second place in the list." ’, this is also the wish of the cousin brothers.” After finishing speaking, the three of them turned their eyes to Grandpa. Grandfather squinted, nodded, and then looked up at the three people, thinking that these three guys came after discussing it.The grandfather knew that all of this must be Huang Farong's idea, so he asked his husband to perform the deciphering technique first, and at the same time brought Erbatou to propose the promotion.

The next day, the grandfather called a church meeting, praised Zhang Zizhan for breaking the game, and then proposed to promote Zhang Zizhan.Everyone in the hall knew in their hearts that their grandfather had intended to promote this technical strategist long ago, and everyone spoke up one after another, praising their grandfather for his wisdom. Sanbatou, who had just been released from the dungeon, said loudly: "The Zizhan brothers are promoted to the second place, which is what everyone expects. Only the brothers can stand out if they are cultivated wisely by the grandfather. The 'Jiang Xiangpai' has the grandfather at the helm, and all the brothers work together. 'Plum Blossom Club'!"

The words were smooth but not excessive, and the praise was not greasy. Grandpa was very happy after hearing this. Around noon, the hall cooked chicken and slaughtered geese. Zhang Zizhan kowtowed three times and made nine obeisances, burning incense and swearing.Immediately, the banquet was held at the entrance of the hall, and the little feet of Batou drank happily, and a rare festive atmosphere appeared at the entrance of the hall. In the hustle and bustle, the grandfather came out alone, came to the backyard, stood in front of the gardenias, his thoughts flooded in like a tide.After years of flowers blooming and falling, and people coming and going, the building was empty. He thought of Qi Chunfu and Sun Yexing again. As the bosses of the court, the greatest sorrow was the betrayal of brothers, killing traitors, breaking off brothers and feet, and replacing the old with a new generation. Alas! While meditating, Huang Farong also came. "Grandpa, I'm so happy today, why are you still so sad?" There was a hint of drunkenness in his tone. Grandpa glanced at her and said, "Have you been waiting for this moment for a long time?" "Nothing escapes my grandfather's eyes..." Huang Farong rolled her bright eyes and smiled. The grandfather sneered and said: "Zizhi must have found a solution to it long ago, but he kept it secret. Wait until I get rid of Qi Chunfu, and then you can find out, so the position of Sibatou is naturally Zizhan. " Huang Farong pressed her temples with her hands, staggered drunkenly, and murmured: "Waiting for the opportunity to act, and acting according to the time, this is the way my grandfather has always taught the children to do things. Farong is just...just applying what he has learned. Forget it, besides, the insider was unknown at the time, and it was even more inconvenient to tell what broke the situation. Farong...Farong has been conscientious since she married 'Mu Zilian'. Ah Bao, but...Fa Rong is also a little girl. Her husband is self-satisfied, she has a weird temper, and is moody. When Fa Rong was wronged, did her grandfather ever see her? Mother, unaccompanied, lonely..." As she spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks.
