Chapter 433: The Man Behind Zhu Ganglie
Chapter 433: The Man Behind Zhu Ganglie
After careful counting, Fang Linyan didn’t notice Zhou Zhuo’s head. He let out a soft breath, then he suddenly heard a voice outside, and he immediately hid himself.
Through the vision of [Mechanical Gyrfalcon], it could be seen that 3 people came out mechanically from the corridor beside. To be precise, they should be 3 earth puppets.
They entered the small room on the side with expressionless faces, took out several large baskets of black charcoal, and walked back with expressionless faces.
Faint curses could be heard from the room,
“Trash, really trash, haven’t you seen that the charcoal fire in the oven is going to be extinguished!!”
“I still need to put 20 catties of charcoal in to roast that pig!!”
“If the things in the oven are not hot enough, you will be skinned when the boss comes back!”
The 3 earth puppets were completely expressionless under the scolding, or they didn’t care about scolding at all.
They continued to walk forward with mechanical and numb steps.
After Fang Linyan heard the scolding, he immediately had an idea. He followed behind on tiptoe, then he saw the kitchen in front.
3 earth puppets were adding coke to a huge oven.
The area of this oven was at least dozens of square meters. They were also very mysterious array engraved on the bottom and on the oven wall.
The most eye-catching thing was a fiery red bead and a fiery red jade inlaid on the oven wall.
The bead and the jade were inlaid opposite each other on the left and right, seeming to achieve some kind of strange balance.
These 2 treasures could obviously play the role of boosting heat and controlling temperature. Obviously, it took great effort to build it.
And the bead and jade like this were no doubt precious.
It was more than enough to refine a powerful enchanted weapon, but it was used by the Boss Zhu Ganglie to build an oven, which showed that it was a true lover for the way of barbecue.
Such a huge oven made it very troublesome for the earth puppets to refill charcoal.
The charcoal had to be placed at the mouth of the oven first, then pushing them in with a special steel push rod several meters long.
And beside the huge oven, there was a… fatty that shouldn’t appear here?
The fatty had his hands on his hips, still angrily scolding the 3 earth puppets and commanding them to continue carrying the charcoal.
After the earth puppets left, he walked to the chopping board angrily and violently chopped the bones with knife.
At this time, Rubes had shared the information of the fatty:
Zhu Xiaojian
Male
42 years old
Birthplace: Born in Yanqian Village, Seven Miles Slope, Yangjiang County, Zhuzi Kingdom.
Occupation: Chef
Height: 172cm
Weight: 108 kg
Self introduction.
Zhu Xiaojian is quite talented in cooking. He was once summoned by the monarch and hired as an imperial cook, but because of his eccentric personality, he was crowded out by his colleagues and returned home.
But after returning to his hometown, Zhu Xiaojian’s family property was coveted by the county magistrate again. Because of Zhu Xiaojian’s stubborn character, the county magistrate killed his whole family in a rage and even put a bounty on Zhu Xiaojian.
In desperation, Zhu Xiaojian heard the legend of Gao Family Inn, and he strode here with a desperate heart. He wandered on the official road where Gao Family Inn often appeared.
Because of his fat body, he was the best food in the eyes of Zhu Ganglie, the boss of Gao Family Inn, so he was quickly caught.
However, Zhu Xiaojian saved himself from the following tragic fate with his excellent cooking skills.
The biggest hobby of Zhu Ganglie, the boss of Gao Family Inn, was grilling “two-legged sheep” (beastkin’s name for humans), but he had always been dissatisfied with the taste.
Under Zhu Xiaojian’s suggestion, Zhu Ganglie began to try to use the big fat pig as the outer layer, curl up the “two-legged sheep” and put it in the belly of the pig for grilling, and finally roasted the fresh and tender taste it was satisfied with.
For this reason, Zhu Ganglie regarded Zhu Xiaojian as its right-hand man, so it acted brazenly and helped Zhu Xiaojian kill the county magistrate and a group of accomplices, avenging Zhu Xiaojian’s family.
Now that Zhu Xiaojian had nowhere to go, and the death of his family disheartened him, so he chose to stay behind Zhu Ganglie for the rest of his life as the silently dedicated man behind him, helping him to strive for perfection in the way of roasting pigs.
Because Zhu Xiaojian is trusted and appreciated by his boss, Zhu Ganglie, he had a high status in the inn. No beastkin dares to offend him easily.
…
“Phew!“
After reading Zhu Xiaojian’s data, Fang Linyan immediately felt relaxed.
Finally, I have met such a weakling like an ordinary human being!!
He wanted to hurry up now, so he didn’t bother to think about it.
When the 3 earth puppets left, he came behind Zhu Xiaojian, took a kitchen knife from the side, and pressed it against his throat!
Then let his hand tremble deliberately, lower his voice, and say nervously,
“You, die or live?”
Zhu Xiaojian’s body trembled. Fang Linyan immediately trembled deliberately and let the knife slipped. A bloody opening was cut on his neck.
The coldness and pain of the knife immediately made Zhu Xiaojian become honest. He said calmly,
“You escaped by taking advantage of the chaos right? In fact, there are chaos everywhere now, which is your best chance to escape.”
“Listen to me, there is a small path out of this door. After walking 3 miles away, you will reach the Hun River.”
“When you get here, if you dive into the water, I’m sure you won’t be caught…”
At this time Fang Linyan had already heard the footsteps of the earth puppes, and he immediately whispered viciously,
“Don’t let that monster come over, or we’ll die together!”
Feeling that the knife on his neck tightened again, Zhu Xiaojian didn’t dare to gamble with his life, so he could only curse immediately,
“The idiot outside, stop right there!”
The earth puppets just stood there obediently.
Only then did Fang Linyan whisper,
“Listen, we have no grievances, and I don’t want to make it difficult for you. My brother was caught today. Because he is quite fat, I heard that he was sent to the kitchen.”
“I know that he probably won’t be alive in this hellish place, but as his brother, I have to bring his corpse to his mother!”
Hearing Fang Linyan’s words, Zhu Xiaojian thought for a while and frowned,
“Your brother was caught today?”
Fang Linyan said,
“Yes, his name is Zhou Zhuo. He is a little fatty. He limps when he walks. He was sent in in the afternoon.”
Zhu Xiaojian’s body visibly stiffened, and he said with some difficulty,
“About that, I can help you find the clothes he left behind…”
Fang Linyan took a deep breath. He moved his eyes to the cutting board, only to realize that what this guy cut before was actually fingers!
Immediately, he felt an inexplicable anger gushing out of his heart, then he gritted his teeth and said word by word,
“Like I said, I want to see his corpse!!”
Zhu Xiaojian felt the kitchen knife on his neck getting tighter and tighter, knowing that the other party’s emotions might be on the verge of losing control. Knowing that he was on the verge of life and death, he immediately screamed wildly.
He suddenly tilted his head toward the other side of the knife, grabbed a large bowl of vinegar that was used for removing the smell, and splashed it toward the back, trying to distract the person behind.
Little did he know that the person standing behind was not an ordinary person, but a ruthless person who could kill even most beastkins.
So Zhu Xiaojian’s clumsy trick not only failed to save his life, but hastened his death.
Fang Linyan had already received specific information of Zhou Zhuo, and those fingers on the chopping board had also aroused anger in his heart.
So he simply swiped the kitchen knife on Zhu Xiaojian’s neck.
The poor and hateful man immediately widened his eyes and wanted to shout, but Fang Linyan’s fierce punch hit his neck directly, suffocating the scream in his chest and crushing his Adam’s apple completely.
Such injuries were undoubtedly fatal for ordinary person.
Fang Linyan let him clutch his neck and rolled on the ground in pain, then he came to the earth puppet outside and punched its face.
Before this earth puppet could react, its face had already been sunken like a volleyball being kicked after deflated.
TL: So the fingers on the chopping board belong to Zhou Zhuo?
