Chapter 279 Eating Brains to Improve Brain Function!
Yang Jianwu chuckled to herself. This Steward Tian was really something; he was just trying to scare him like this!
"Oh dear, Steward Tian is right! A scholar's mind is bound to be full of knowledge and learning. I'll stew some for my little brother later; eating brains will nourish his brain!"
The scholar thought he and Mo Ye were sent by Prince Ning to rescue people, but now that he heard they were going to eat his brains, his heart sank. Was he really hopeless?
Tian Zhong clapped his hands and laughed, "Young man, you're right, eating brains is good for your brain! But let me tell you, you can't stew these brains, they'll fall apart if you stew them for too long, and they won't taste good!"
Yang Jianwu looked at Tian Zhong with starry eyes full of admiration, "Then, Steward Tian, tell me, how do you cook the brain to make it fresh, fragrant, tender, and smooth?"
"You've come to the right person!"
Tian Zhong grabbed the scholar's head and began gesturing, "When you get back, have someone shave his head first, then use a sharp knife to cut it open from here, and then find a chisel to pry open his skull from here. You'll be able to see the complete brain matter. While it's still fresh, pour it directly into a large bowl, steam it for fifteen minutes, and when it's done, sprinkle some scallion sauce and a spoonful of hot oil on top! I guarantee you'll want to eat it again and again!"
"My mouth is watering just hearing what Manager Tian said; it looks so delicious!"
"If you don't want it steamed, young man, you can fry it directly in hot oil in a pan. It's delicious too!"
Yang Jianwu clapped her hands, as if she had discovered a new continent, "Just like pan-fried pig brains, right?! With a crispy outer layer, tender and soft inside!"
Tian Zhong had never tried pan-fried pig brains before, but that didn't stop him from promoting his product. "Yes, yes, that's the taste! And a small cup of wine with that, it would be wonderful!"
"Manager Tian is right!"
"Haha, young man, I didn't expect we'd find ourselves kindred spirits!"
Yang Jianwu clasped his hands in a respectful bow, "Yes, yes, if only we had met Steward Tian sooner, we could have enjoyed this delicious food sooner!"
Tian Zhong waved his hand and said, "Haha, it's not too late! Young man, leave your address later, and I'll send someone to notify you immediately if you need more good stuff like this in the future!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Tian!"
"Haha, no problem at all!"
Mo Ye listened to their conversation and was filled with admiration. He knew he couldn't do what Yang Jianwu did, being able to laugh and discuss with others how to eat human brains without feeling disgusted.
Once Tian Zhong was certain that Yang Jianwu had something she liked, he tentatively asked, "Then do you want this one too?"
Yang Jianwu nodded, then hesitated as if something had occurred to her.
"Okay, I'll take it! But..."
"But what?"
"But he's too noisy. Otherwise, Brother Tian would have helped us find someone to shave all the hair off his body, and we could have taken him home today and started eating him right away! Nobody in our family has ever cleaned him properly, so we don't want him to be unclean!"
Tian Zhong thought it was something serious, but shaving hair was something they did often, and it was a piece of cake.
"Young man, wait a moment, I'll get someone to shave it for you!"
"Oh, thank you for your help, Brother Tian!"
"You're too kind. Someone, please scrape this vegetable clean!"
"Yes, Steward Tian!"
The two men dragged the scholar aside, put him on the ground, and began to strip him of his clothes.
"Woooooo~"
The scholar struggled desperately, but the ropes were too tight, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. He looked at Yang Jianwu, hoping to avoid humiliation and to be killed or tortured quickly!
As her clothes were being ripped off, Yang Jianwu turned her head to the side, pretending to chat with Tian Zhong, completely ignoring the scholar's suicidal gaze. She didn't want to offend his eyes...
Deep down, she felt somewhat apologetic towards the scholar. She had only intended for Tian Zhong to shave the scholar's head, but she hadn't expected these people to even clean his body... well, they cleaned it too thoroughly!
Tian Zhong pointed to the three vegetable vendors from before, "Let's shave theirs too, they can just shave the meat when we get back."
Yang Jianwu only wanted to scare the scholar, not others, especially since Shi Rong was a woman. If she were stripped naked and shaved in public, how could she face anyone to live...
"No need, Brother Tian. The three of them can go back and let their family cooks practice. We'll be working together for a long time, so we can't keep troubling Brother Tian's people!"
"Haha, okay, you'll get it after two tries! Practice makes perfect!"
"Brother Tian is right, that's what I think too!"
After the scholar's hair was shaved, he collapsed on the ground, curled up helplessly. Tian Zhong's men found an old piece of clothing from somewhere and quickly dressed the scholar in it. It didn't keep him warm, but at least it could cover his shame.
Hongfeng suddenly appeared from some corner, grabbed the scholar from the ground, and brought him back to the group.
Yang Jianwu chuckled and teased Hongfeng, "Oh, all done throwing up?"
Hongfeng scratched his face in embarrassment and lowered his head even further.
"Hehe, I'm done throwing up... Sorry, Master, this was my first time too, so it's understandable that I'm a little uncomfortable..."
"Finished vomiting" means the location has been confirmed, indicating the mission was successfully completed! As for what came after, whether it's true or not, who could adapt to eating human flesh for the first time, except for disaster victims and perverts?!
Yang Jianwu, having received the answer, smiled and waved her hand, "Everyone has a first time, it'll pass!"
