First European Emperor [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 43 A cook who doesn't want to be a scientist is not a good Ou Huang (2)

A few days later, Ou Zizhou wanted to try a new dish. When he was about to add oil, he remembered that the big bottle of vegetable oil in the chef had been used up the day before yesterday. He mentioned it to the purchasing team, but the new oil hadn't arrived yet.

Yesterday he poured a cup of oil from the back kitchen with a disposable cup for convenience, and there was still half a cup left after using it.The person who cleaned up yesterday probably felt that there was still a lot of oil left, so he didn't pour it out for him.

Ou Zizhou looked at the half cup of oil, and poured it directly into the pot in the spirit of not wasting it.

However, the little chef who was called by him to try it took a bite of his tofu fish, smacked his lips, and frowned thoughtfully: "Chef He, the taste is very good, but I always feel that there is a strange smell in it." Smell, is the fish not fresh?"

Hearing what he said, Ou Zizhou also took a bite, tasted it carefully, and put down his chopsticks.

As the chef said, this plate of tofu fish is delicious and has an excellent taste. Both the processing of the ingredients and the cooking temperature are perfectly controlled, but after chewing for a while, you will find that there is a faint smell Pleasant taste, salty but not salty, and a bit stinky.

Ou Zizhou felt very strange.

The ingredients are all normal.

Tofu is his special salted tofu.Unlike ordinary fried tofu, only the outer layer of fried tofu skin will have a little taste, and the inside is still bland or even slightly watery white tofu.His salted tofu combines the coagulation process and the pickling process into one, the taste is even, and the tofu is tender and refreshing.

As for the fish, he chose to kill them himself, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Is there something wrong with his burning method?

However, with hundreds of years of kitchen experience, even if he is asked to cook an ingredient that he has never seen before, he can instinctively judge what seasoning to put and how to control the heat, not to mention that he has cooked salmon for at least a few days. Thousands of ingredients.If there is really a problem with the processing steps, he has no reason not to notice it.

Ou Zizhou took another bite of tofu.

The taste in the tofu is a bit stronger, and you can taste the strange taste after a few bites.

Ou Zizhou tasted it carefully, and suddenly realized that he was very familiar with this stench!

"I know what the problem is!"

The little chef was about to pick up the second bite of tofu fish, Ou Zizhou picked up the whole plate of tofu fish and walked towards the little chef.

"Hey, hey, hey!" The little chef managed to snatch a piece of tofu, fearing that he would break the tofu with too much force, and carefully put it into his mouth, thinking that even if there is something wrong with the taste, there is no need to waste the whole plate. , "I haven't eaten Chinese food yet!"

But Ou Zizhou did not throw out the tofu fish, but poured all the tofu fish into the juicer, squeezed it into a paste, and then took a new basin from the glass cover, mixed the tofu fish paste with fungal nutrients, A strain of the fungus was then transplanted onto the new medium.

He turned around and glanced at the stove, picked up the half cup of cooking oil left, and sniffed it under his nose, but there was no familiar smell.

But except for this cup of oil that had been left open overnight, all the ingredients and seasonings he used were brought into the kitchen just today.In addition, last night for ventilation, the glass cover was opened all night.So if there was anything that tainted the smell, it would have to be the half cup of cooking oil.

He poured the remaining oil on an empty pot of medium, separated the two new pots of medium independently, and then put the lid on.

After two days, the mushrooms cultured with tofu fish grew well, but the fungus that was sprayed with cooking oil died.

Ou Zizhou immediately told Mao Ketian about the new discovery, and Mao Ketian said that he would seriously consider it.

A week later, Mao Ketian called Ou Zizhou, and the excitement in his tone made it impossible to connect him with the serious biologist.

"Xiao He, the result has been achieved. A 138-molecule organic compound with a special structure was indeed extracted from your odorized soil. The fungal protein synthase can combine with this organic compound, but this property will be lost after heating. The specific structure and mechanism need further research, but this result is enough to explain the experimental phenomenon you observed! How did you come up with the idea of ​​using oil for extraction? Although this kind of idea is very... well, strange, but the effect is indeed remarkable! The lipophilic nature of this organic matter is very obvious, if you hadn't thought of the method of extraction, I don't know how long it would take to discover his real body!"

Ou Zizhou narrated the process of discovering the problem of cooking oil, and Mao Ketian was a little stunned: "It's okay? Although the whole room will become very smelly after opening the lid..." He didn't know what to think, and paused, "But , but no matter how high the concentration in the air can be? It has to be dissolved into the oil, can this reach an effective concentration? "

However, at this time, it is meaningless to question whether the concentration in edible oil is sufficient to inhibit the growth of fungi, because the experiment has proved that this substance is indeed lipophilic, and it can be extracted with an organic solution to increase its purity, which is why their experiments have progressed smoothly. important reason.If Ou Zizhou hadn't given this reminder, they would still be worrying about that pile of stinky sauce!

"By the way, we plan to apply for a large project, and then conduct a joint experiment with the Ministry of Medicine. Of course, as the initiator of the project, this must be approved by you. In addition, in order to apply for the project, you need to be in our research institute .We have full power to deal with the matter of temporary assignment, so you can rest assured that it is absolutely reasonable and legal, and you will not be forced to participate in the research, it is just for the convenience of follow-up operations."

Just as Ou Zizhou was about to refuse, Mao Ketian seemed to have guessed what he was about to say, and said again: "I know that spreading the news of the suspension may have some impact on you, but if you don't have a suspension, this project may be more difficult to carry out Go on. Because although I didn't go into details, my students and some people in the academy already know that this smelly thing was discovered by a chef and told me, so if your name is not included in the future results... To be honest , our institute will also have concerns. This research should be a milestone, not a gossip in the academic world, what do you think?"

Mao Ketian said that for this sake, if Ou Zizhou still refuses to take up his post, it would seem a little ignorant.

He agreed to take a temporary position, but still did not participate in the research.

However, Ou Zizhou is still a well-known Internet celebrity at this time. It is not a trivial matter to take up a job. He was quickly discovered and spread on the Internet. Search.

At first glance, this seems to be another hot search touting him, but when you click in, you will find that most of the comments are reprimanding him for having no lower limit.

"Are you kidding me, and you set up a marketing master? Emmm... this is endless."

"Is it true? The Botanical Institute of University A is not inaccessible to PhDs in related majors, is it? Why did I remember that I was an undergraduate student?"

"It's not just an undergraduate, but a computer major! A graduate student was admitted to a pheasant school, but his supervisor was dismissed, and then he dropped out. Tsk, you taste it, you taste it carefully, I don't believe it if there is no ghost in it."

"Are you sick? Our school's botany ranks in the top ten in the country! If you haven't heard of our school, it only shows that you are short-sighted! Don't show your IQ if you haven't read any of your books!"

"So this is true or false? If this is true, we should check it out carefully? It's fine to set up a marketing master, but it's disgusting to engage in sloppy operations."

……

Faced with social doubts, University A had to stand up and explain, stating that Ou Zizhou had indeed joined the Mao Ketian Group of Plant Institute of University A because of his "special contribution", and produced relevant certificates.

However, he didn't prove that it was okay, and when the proof came out, all the netizens were blown up.

The most annoying thing is that when they checked the experiment management manual of University A, they found that under a series of stringent requirements, there is actually such a special clause, which means that the recruited party has made a great contribution to the experiment or won a very high scientific research honor. Under the circumstances, special appointments can be given regardless of the rigid requirements of the application.

This is completely leaving a back door for the strict regulations to be able to operate freely!This ambiguous "special contribution" clause simply shows that Ou Zizhou did not go through formal channels for the experiment!

How can netizens bear this?Although most netizens are not familiar with the scientific research circle, the scientific research circle has an untouchable position in their minds. University A, as the top university in the country, is also the aspiration of countless students.And Ou Zizhou, a cook who became popular through marketing, why should he trample on the most sacred temple in their hearts? !

A few people who knew the inside story told the story that Ou Zizhou discovered that the oily bean chili fish sauce can inhibit the growth of fungi, but this story sounded too absurd, but was used by netizens as material to satirize Ou Zizhou.

Although netizens don't understand the real reason why Ou Zizhou was appointed, they don't care about it anymore. In their view, this is excessive malicious marketing, abusing power and making a wrong move, stepping on the bottom line of the public.

For a while there was a surge of abuse and crusade against Ou Zizhou on the Internet, asking University A to investigate the matter thoroughly.As the head of the research institute who specially hired Ou Zizhou, Mao Ketian was also implicated.

Netizens completely ignored Mao Ketian’s contribution in the field of botany, or most of them couldn’t understand his status at all. What they knew was that Mao Ketian abused his power just to please a good-looking Internet celebrity chef, and some netizens even made up his mind. Mao Ketian derailed within marriage, a beautiful young man who was two rounds younger than him, who did not hesitate to bear the infamy for love and wanted to fulfill his dream of a prestigious school.

Fortunately, Professor Mao has no time for entertainment on weekdays, nor does he have an account on a social platform, and people around him dare not tell him about it.The main trouble he encountered was the pressure from the school.But he was busy with research, and felt that time would always reveal the truth, so he resisted the pressure of the school alone, and only hoped that the researchers would come up with convincing results quickly.

Ou Zizhou was the one who discovered the effect of the sauce, and it was Ou Zizhou who gave the purification plan, and it was himself who insisted on recruiting Ou Zizhou.Naturally, Mao Ketian didn't feel that he was being burdened by Ou Zizhou. On the contrary, in the follow-up exchanges, he became more and more appreciative of this outstanding young man.

He found that Ou Zizhou's research ideas are very broad.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his unprofessionalism that his thinking is not restricted by conventional scientific research routines. Mao Ketian can always get inspiration from him for breakthroughs when research is blocked, and the progress of research is also much faster.

Compared with Mao Ketian's success, Ou Zizhou's situation is much worse.

Affected by the turmoil of public opinion, the performance of the hotel has declined visibly to the naked eye.

Chen Kangyuan was so angry: "Do you know how much our revenue this quarter has dropped compared to last quarter?! 30%! You better explain to me why you were specially hired by University A! Why, my boss? I don’t know anything about you becoming a professor at University A?!”

Ou Zizhou corrected him: "It's not a professor, it's just a researcher of the Institute of Botany. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with University A, it's just a nominal employee of the Institute of Botany."

Chen Kangyuan said angrily: "I don't care where you are. The problem is that your current negative public opinion has seriously affected the hotel's revenue! If you remind me earlier, I can make preparations in advance to control public opinion. Now What do you want me to end up with? You have to give me an explanation for this trouble, right? "

Ma Qianyu sat on the side, took a sip of tea, and persuaded Chen Kangyuan, "Kang Yuan, don't be angry, your performance won't increase if you are angry, what's the use? Besides, even if it falls by 30%, it's better than Chenggang." When I joined the job, I was much higher, so what are you in a hurry for?"

Seeing Ma Qianyu's calm face, Chen Kangyuan sneered as if the matter had nothing to do with him, "So you two negotiated in private again, and you didn't tell me on purpose?"

Ma Qianyu was taken aback, put down his teacup, sat upright, and said seriously: "No, I don't know anything about joining University A with success. But I think this title sounds awesome! Researcher! Tsk tsk, amazing!"

Chen Kangyuan knew that Ma Qianyu loved to play tricks, so he was not willing to talk to him, but turned to Ou Zizhou: "Is it true that you are the extramarital lover of some professor?"

Ou Zizhou didn't expect Chen Kangyuan to believe that nonsense at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted in his eyes: "Do you think this is possible?"

Maybe!How is it impossible? !Chen Kangyuan roared in his heart.

You, a 23-year-old brat, have superb culinary skills, superb cooking skills, and a frighteningly rich city mansion, and you have such a deceptive face.Compared with your existence, the fact that a respectable middle-aged professor falls in love with a beautiful genius boy sounds completely normal, doesn't it? !

However, Ou Zizhou's questioning in this way should be subjectively denying this rumor.Of course, it's only Ou Zizhou's subjective point of view, even if it's not a lover relationship recognized by both parties, what if the professor unilaterally falls in love with him? !

But Chen Kangyuan naturally wouldn't say such unfounded conjectures.He frowned slightly, wanting to delve into the essence of Ou Zizhou's "special contribution".

However, Ou Zizhou only briefly told the story of his discovery of the special effect of oily bean and spicy fish sauce, without mentioning anything related to the progress of the research.

The embarrassing thing is that this story has long been passed on as a joke on the Internet, and Chen Kangyuan has already laughed for a while.

Chen Kangyuan could only twitch the corners of his mouth and show a sneer about the fact that Ou Zizhou would personally tell this story full of realistic and magical colors.

The meeting of the three broke up unhappy, and on the way home, Ou Zizhou received a call from Mao Ketian.

"The article has been submitted, I have contacted the reviewer, and it can be published in advance."

"Really?" Ou Zizhou's eyes lit up.This means that their efforts will finally pay off.

"But I'm not mainly telling you this today, but... There is a patient in the medical department who is not sensitive to all antifungal drugs, and with many underlying diseases, he is almost sentenced to death. They asked the patient and his family members agreed, secretly conducted an experiment..."

"Secretly did the experiment?" Ou Zizhou pondered for a moment.

As far as he knows, their research is far from the level of clinical trials, and even conducting experiments on terminally ill patients will bring a lot of ethical troubles.

Mao Ketian heard his concerns, and said with a smile: "You may not believe it. Their experimental method is not to inject purified drugs, but to send your oily bean chili fish sauce directly into the patient's stomach through a nasal feeding tube."

Ou Zizhou: "..." If this is considered an experiment.

Mao Ketian asked: "What do you think the result will be?"

In fact, he couldn't hide his excited tone and had already betrayed the answer.

But Ou Zizhou still asked cooperatively: "How is it?"

"You know, I'm really worried that this fragile patient will be smoked to death by your stinky sauce. Fortunately, his sense of taste and smell were extremely degraded at the time, so this tragedy did not happen. Not only did it not happen Tragedy, but also a miracle..."

Professor Mao Ketian, who was always serious, was rarely naughty and kept quiet for a long time.Ou Zizhou couldn't help asking: "What miracle?"

"After he ate the oily bean and spicy fish sauce for seven days, the infection focus in his lungs was basically cleared, and the blood index also dropped rapidly. That is to say, even if you don't purify the skato, your oily bean and spicy fish sauce itself has a very strong killing effect. Fungal action!"

The author has something to say: Mouzhou: Wow, it would be good to just let the patient eat the oily bean chili fish sauce directly!

Professor Mao: If death is considered a cure, then fumigation may be a way to increase the cure rate (smile)
