Chapter 64 Ancient Roast Suckling Pig
On Hong Kong Island in the 50s, Liu Fu's villa on Hennessy Road was not considered a land king, and the price was only 0.5 times higher than that of the house on Boundary Street South.
Before the arrival of the real estate boom, the real estate bubble was zero, and although Hong Kong Island at this time was not good, the houses were still really bought to 'live in', so even in prime areas such as Central and Hong Kong Island South, housing prices were only about twice as high as those in the New Territories.
Liu Fu's 5,000-square-foot, three-story villa with basement, garden and swimming pool, the total price is only 90,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Zhou Wenqiang wants to buy such a villa now, without blinking his eyes.
But Zhou Wenqiang is not ready to invest in real estate now.
The first rise in the real sense of Hong Kong Island real estate began in 1953, that is, two years later, when the time only needs to invest half a year in advance, two years in advance is not called investment, that is called short-term lock-in.
If you buy it to live, you don't need to consider the rise and fall of housing prices, but Zhou Wenqiang's favorite location is a real luxury house in the Diwang area such as Repulse Bay and Taiping Mountain, not Hennessy Road.
Especially at the top of the Victoria Peak, if you want to live here, you can't just have money, you must also have an identity.
Not only rich, but also expensive!
Beginning in 1868, when the Governor Sir Macdonald built a villa in Victoria Peak, until 1904, living in Victoria Peak was the exclusive right of the upper class and foreign embassies, and this system was abolished after Grantham became Governor.
The system has been abolished, but the identity and status represented by the residence on the Victoria Peak have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Hong Kong people, and even in the 21st century, where Zhou Wenqiang lived, Boss Ma had to spend 1.5 billion yuan to buy real estate here.
"Sir Zhou, do you like the house here very much?
Hongmen also has professionals who do real estate economics, if you want to buy a villa here, you can have a 10% discount......"
Zhou Wenqiang hasn't bought a car yet, today it was Qi Weiwen who specially drove to pick him up, and saw that he was paying attention to the villa on the side of the road all the way, so he smiled and joked to him: "You are now the tiger of the New Territories, and the big boss of Beiwang Company, and it is no longer your identity to live in Dongtou Village, Kowloon." ”
Zhou Wenqiang looked at Qi Weiwen, today, the Hongmen bigwig dressed up, with wavy curly hair, wearing cheongsam, stockings, high heels, and spraying high-end French perfumes on his body, he really doesn't look like a gangster, but more like a courtesan.
"Qi Xiang said and laughed, the company is start-up, and money is needed everywhere, and I am still a poor person."
Qi Weiwen sneered and exhaled: "Oh, I don't want to borrow money from you, what are you called poor?"
How much benefit have you gained from Fan Tingsun, others don't know, can I still not know?
Think about it, in the future, you will want to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, and how much grievances will you have if you don't have a villa? ”
After speaking, a pair of big watery eyes looked at Zhou Wenqiang with resentment, and he was almost about to flow water.
Zhou Wenqiang naturally avoided her fiery gaze: "Qi Xiang is joking again, how can I have any beautiful women to hide?" ”
Qi Weiwen glanced at him: "Hehe, who doesn't know about the rivers and lakes in Hong Kong and Kowloon now, Great Wall Pictures has produced a beautiful woman who is charming and fairy-like,
Our sir Zhou did not hesitate to offend Cao Shijie of the Changle Gang for her sake.
Isn't this Miss Yang the beauty that your sir Zhou wants to hide? ”
Zhou Wenqiang frowned when he heard this: "Qi Xiang, when did you receive this news?" ”
There was a faint abnormality in his heart, he didn't publicize this matter, Cao Shijie was deflated, and he couldn't get back to the field, let alone be stupid enough to take the initiative to say it everywhere.
It's not himself and Cao Shijie, let alone someone from Great Wall Pictures, who spread the news, and let the entire Hong Kong, Kowloon and Jianghu know about it so quickly?
There must be something wrong with this.
"That is, two or three days ago, you, the big boss, were busy making money, and most of them didn't know it.
But heroes and beauties are all good stories, and they are nothing.
By the way, Sir Zhou, are you really interested in this Miss Yang? ”
is a woman who will gossip, and a person like Qi Weiwen is not exempt from vulgarity.
Seeing that Zhou Wenqiang was silent, Qi Weiwen thought that he didn't want to mention the matter, so he also kept silent, and after a few minutes, a dozen steering wheels entered the roadside villa: "Here, today I want to see if your craftsmanship is really so powerful, and you can make pineapple buns, and you can roast suckling pig in the ancient way?" ”
***
In the back garden of the villa, a little black pig is running happily, occasionally running to the feet of Liu Fu, who is sitting under the sun umbrella, rubbing his feet and neck a few times, humming and coquettish.
Liu Fu was wearing a loose lounge clothes, basking in the sun comfortably, looking at the little black pig, his saliva was almost flowing out.
A two-meter-deep roasting hole was dug out of the good turf next to it, and there were makeshift vegetable tables, water tanks and blood pools nearby, and even the hands of the pigs were ready, and two male maids with five big and three thick were ready to be summoned at any time.
Seeing Zhou Wenqiang and Qi Weiwen coming, Liu Fu did not shy away at all, stepped forward and gave Qi Weiwen a deep hug, winked at Zhou Wenqiang and said, "Look at your craftsmanship today."
If Fu Sir is satisfied, your yang and yin should be blown clean by the wind, and I will not pursue it again.
Otherwise, don't blame Sir Fu for demoting you, the 'Tiger of the New Territories', back to the military uniform, will you still have face at that time? ”
Zhou Wenqiang was furious when he heard it: "Fu sir, if you say so, I won't do any ancient roast suckling pig today, so that this craft is the best!"
What is yang and yin? Believe it or not, if I confess your words in private, you will be stabbed into the major newspapers?
Tsk, let Fan Tingsun hand over a few heads and some powder......
Do you think these words will make the front page headlines of the major newspapers on Hong Kong Island tomorrow? ”
Liu Fu's face changed: "Stinky boy, you don't give Fu sir any face!"
I...... I, you're mad at me! ”
Seeing this, Qi Weiwen smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Ah Fu, I don't care today, if you can't eat the ancient roast suckling pig, I won't pay attention to you in the future."
Today, you are only allowed to talk about food, not business! ”
Liu Fu snorted and glared at Zhou Wenqiang fiercely: "Stinky boy, why don't you do it quickly?"
Fu Sir is the most considerate, and has specially prepared two Indian maids to help you. ”
Zhou Wenqiang looked at the two Indian Ah San, shook his head and said: "Killing pigs is not acrobatics, what do you want them to do?"
And Indians even have stinky hands, which will affect the quality of the food!
I'll do it myself! ”
As he spoke, he caught up with the little black pig in a few steps, grabbed it and pressed it next to the blood pool, lifted the ox ear sharp knife on the vegetable table, aimed it at the pig's neck and stabbed it hard.
"Whew!"
As soon as the knife went down, the pig's blood sprayed wildly, and the little black pig danced its hooves and wanted to struggle, but was held down by Zhou Wenqiang, and all the pig's blood entered the blood pool, and not a drop was splashed out.
Liu Fu and Qi Weiwen both saw their eyebrows jump, and thought to themselves, 'Sure enough, it's the Tiger of the New Territories, this kid is really ruthless!' ’
After draining the pig's blood, the knife in Zhou Wenqiang's hand flashed, as fast as a cow, dehaired, disemboweled, cleaned, and smeared with sugar, but in just ten minutes, a sugar-coated little suckling pig was already lying on the board honestly.
The so-called ancient method was first seen in knife skills.
Although he used the knife quickly just now, he left a knife mark in the pig's belly that conformed to the texture of the pork, this ancient method of flower knife can help the suckling pig be roasted faster, and at the same time it also has the effect of dissipating the anointing oil and reducing the cholesterol content.
It also makes the inside of the pork heat more evenly and crispy.
After the suckling pig has been coated with sugar, it needs to be left to dry for ten minutes, and Zhou Wenqiang began to burn the roasting hole.
The baked hole dug by Liu Fu is a new hole, which is not only full of water vapor, but also insects and ants, which must be burned thoroughly before it can be used normally.
Although lychee wood is not expensive, it is really difficult to find lychee wood specially used as fuel in this era, and now it is used by Zhou Wenqiang to burn the hole without distress, but Liu Fu nodded secretly.
Daintily!
It's good to be exquisite!
Maybe you'll be blessed today!
After the roasting hole is burned, let it cool naturally, Zhou Wenqiang did not put lychee wood in it, what he wants to do is the ancient method of roasting suckling pig, but not the ancient method of smoking suckling pig, so it is necessary to burn charcoal first.
Charcoal burning is also one of the basic skills of chefs, but in many modern places, charcoal is not even allowed to be used, saying that it is not environmentally friendly, and many chefs have even abandoned this basic skill.
Zhou Wenqiang loved to study cooking skills in his last life, and with the assistance of the skills given by the system, there is certainly no difficulty in burning this lychee charcoal.
From the selection of materials, to the use of fire, the removal of fire, and the coolness, Zhou Wenqiang's charcoal is not only burned just right, but also very regular, and only a little shaping is needed to stack the hexagonal standard charcoal rack in the pit in the later stage.
After these high-quality lychee charcoal were ignited, a faint aroma of lychee rose from the pit without putting in the suckling pig, and this wonderful taste made Liu Fu and Qi Weiwen couldn't help but lick their lips at the same time.
"I'm top!
It's just charcoal, it's so fragrant! ”
