Chapter 58: Li Zhi wants to cook
"I can not go to his gambling house, but he must promise me one condition."
"On what terms?"
If the conditions are not too excessive, the eldest brother should accept it, but the conditions proposed by Li Zhi are definitely not ordinary.
The condition is very simple, that is, he will no longer lend usury in any gambling house in the past, and gamblers who have no money will be driven out directly. What about this condition? ”
"This ••••••"
The biggest profit of the gambling house is not in the gambling itself, but in the loan shark. If you don't let the big brother of usury get the land and real estate from the hands of those gamblers, if the big brother gives up the usury, it is tantamount to making him give up countless interests, I am afraid that the big brother will never agree.
Looking at Li Zhi's appearance, it is not negotiable, if the eldest brother does not agree to his conditions, he will definitely stare at the gambling house.
But he angered his eldest brother, and he didn't know what means he would use to deal with Li Zhi.
Li Zhi never intended to reconcile with Cui Xu, just to force him to deal with himself, otherwise how could he cut off a piece of meat from Qinghe Cui's body, if he could let Qinghe Cui's use their power in the official government, it would be even better, he just took the opportunity to clean up a group of officials of the family for his father.
Knowing that this matter would not come to a conclusion, Cui Liying gave up the idea of convincing Li Zhi.
"The Tang Dynasty hero killing I played with Ning Xiang and them today is quite interesting, I want to partner with you to run this business, what do you think?"
Li Zhi hurriedly shook his head and refused: "Miss Cui, your Qinghe Cui clan has done enough business, so don't rob me of money." ”
Cui Liying smiled bitterly, this guy is really not cheap at all.
Cui Liying suddenly proposed to partner with himself to do business, Li Zhi had a flash of inspiration, and decided to open a chess and card room in Shangdang, which provides a variety of playing cards and mahjong games, and using the face-loving urine of the rich officials and eunuchs, the implementation of a hierarchical VIP system in the operation of the chess and card room, and the guests who will play in the future are divided into diamond members, gold members, platinum members, silver diamond members and ordinary members according to their levels.
The Chinese people have loved face since ancient times, and if they engage those rich people like this, they will get a membership card even for their own face.
And it is also beneficial for them to run such a high-end chess and card room, at least it provides them with a place to socialize.
Well, it was decided, but the location where this chess and card room was built could not be in the city, but should go outside the city to buy a large piece of land and build it yourself.
"Miss Cui, I want to ask you for a favor."
Since you need to buy land, you need a weighty person to come out, so that you can not only buy land, but also save a sum of money.
It's just that this guy's cheek is really thick-skinned, you just refused to partner with others to do business, and now you are actually asking someone to help.
But fortunately, Miss Cui is broad-minded and doesn't care about him in general, so after Li Zhi explained the matter, she agreed without hesitation.
In the face of Miss Cui's boldness, Li Zhi naturally would not be indifferent, and he said to Cui Liying: "When my chess and card room is covered, I will give you ten highest-level diamond membership cards." ”
Diamond membership card is another new word, this guy is too good, he can make anything, but I don't know what kind of flowers this so-called chess and card room can be played by him.
After the two finished talking, they didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
Miss Cui got up and said, "It's okay, I'll go back first." ”
"Wait, you can eat at my place tonight, I'll cook a few dishes for you myself, even if it's thank you for your help."
"You can also stir-fry?"
Looking at Cui Liying's suspicious eyes, Li Zhi felt that he was severely humiliated by her eyes pressed against the wall, how can a man allow a woman to doubt that he can't do it, for the sake of a man's dignity, he must also use practical actions to prove his strength to her.
"Of course I will, and I promise you'll have a meal of my cooking tonight, and you'll definitely have a lot of memorrhage."
Li Zhi's confident words made Miss Cui full of anticipation for tonight's dinner.
"Okay, you go to play with Ning Xiang and them first, I'll go and prepare."
After coming to the kitchen, Li Zhi drove the cook and the cook out and began to show his skills.
Cooking has now become a big hobby of Li Zhi, but in addition to learning to cook in the science and technology factory, he has never shown his cooking skills in front of anyone, and tonight is the first time that the big girl has been in a sedan chair.
There are six people who eat tonight plus themselves, so let's prepare six dishes and one soup.
It doesn't matter if no one does it, we have robots.
After learning that Li Zhi was going to cook in person, the curious baby Miss Li dragged Cui Liying and they came to the kitchen together.
The ancients advocated that gentlemen cook far away, so there are very few men cooking, which is still very new to Miss Li, anyway, she has never seen her father go to the kitchen once at home, let alone cook in person.
It's just that the door of the kitchen was locked by Li Zhi, obviously our Highness knew that someone would come to observe, so he had security measures in advance.
"Isn't this guy just a stir-fry, and he can even close the door?" Miss Li expressed serious disdain for Li Zhi's stingy behavior.
But after a while, she quieted down, and it was quite a coincidence that Yao's nose twitched twice, and she was surprised: "What does this smell so good." ”
The smell naturally came from the kitchen, and now Li Zhi is making a flower chicken inside.
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a man named Huazi, who begged for food along the way and went to a village in Changshu County. One day, he came across a chicken and wanted to slaughter it for cooking, but he had no cooking utensils or spices. He came to the foot of Yu Mountain, killed the chicken, removed the internal organs, smeared the yellow mud with hair, firewood and grass, put the coated chicken in the fire and roasted, waited for the mud to dry the chicken and cooked, peeled off the mud shell, and the chicken feathers were also taken off with the mud shell, revealing the cooked chicken. This is the origin of the name flower chicken.
The practice of this dish is: twist the neck of the live chicken, do not bleed, do not pluck the feathers, open the smallest opening from the back door to take out the internal organs and wash the inner cavity, and then apply the material in the cavity, add a little water to the yellow mud to make a viscous mud, and coat the chicken with mud, which must penetrate into the root of the hair, and the surface is evenly wiped into an ellipsoidal shape; Wrap the ball with lotus leaves, wrap it tightly, and tie it with cotton thread; Dig a pit in the ground and bury the ball in it, fill the pit with the surface of the chicken ball 10 cm from the ground; Make a bonfire on it, not too big so as not to be heated unevenly, and when the fire is naturally extinguished and naturally cooled, dig out the chicken balls, and use a stone to knock the mud on the surface of the chicken balls to break, pull it down, even the hair is brought down, and there is no one left, which can be eaten.
The entrance is crispy and fatty, and the flavor is unique. When eating this dish, open the mud shell, the house is full of fragrance, the entrance is crispy and fatty, and the flavor is unique. If eaten with green onion and sweet noodle sauce, the taste is better.
