"Oh my God! Such a big fish, it must be at least thirty kilograms, right?" Bai Yanchang was the first to come back to his senses and said in surprise.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Hansheng snorted and corrected: "Thirty kilograms? I would say at least thirty-five kilograms!"
"You said thirty-five pounds, just thirty-five pounds?"
"Isn't that right?" Gu Hansheng said as he stretched out his palm and said with a proud look on his face, "Did you see that my right hand is a scale? I'm not bragging to you. No matter what it is, I will know it as soon as I use it.
How many pounds?"
"Hey!" As soon as these words came out, Bai Yanchang immediately aroused dissatisfaction, but he just curled his lips.
"What, you're not convinced? Then do you want to make a bet?"
"What to bet on?"
"Let's bet on how much this fish weighs. If it really weighs thirty-five pounds, I will win. If not, then you will win. Whoever loses will have to ask the other party to do something. How about it? Do you dare to bet?
?”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused Bai Yanchang's competitive spirit.
"Just bet, am I still afraid of you?" After saying that, he turned to Ah Bao and said, "Ah Bao, go find a scale."
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, Abao came back with a steelyard, and then a magical scene happened. After being weighed, the big fish turned out to be exactly what Gu Hansheng said, with a total weight of thirty-five kilograms, not more than one tael.
, one or two is a lot.
"How's it going? Are you convinced that you've lost now?"
Bai Yanchang rarely argued with him, but said with emotion: "I didn't expect that after so many years, your skills are still so accurate!"
"Of course. This is the skill I learned when I was an apprentice at Wenji Hall. Just like you will never forget how to use a gun even if you don't become a detective in the future."
"Okay, you win this game. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Gu Hansheng didn't want to think about it, but he said, "I haven't thought about this yet. I'll tell you when I think about it! I've been working hard all morning and I'm hungry. Ah Qiang, while the fish is still fresh, hurry up and start a fire.
Pot, let’s steam it!”
"okay!"
"Wait a minute!" Before he finished speaking, Bai Yanchang said again, "Did I hear you correctly? Are you going to steam it?"
"Of course, as the old saying goes, fish should be eaten fresh. Is there any cooking method that can preserve the original flavor of the ingredients better than steaming?"
"Nonsense! Of course fish tastes best when it's braised in braised sauce!"
"What kind of fish do you want to have braised in braised pork? Just cut the pork into pieces and chop it, chop it up and bake it, right?"
"I don't care, anyway, the fish must be braised today, otherwise you won't be able to use my pot!"
"you!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Li Qiang hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Father-in-law, Uncle Bai, please don't be so excited now. Can you just listen to this junior?"
However, before he finished speaking, Bai Yanchang said angrily, "It's not your place to interrupt what the adults are talking about. Go ahead and just stay aside!"
Now Gu Hansheng stopped and almost pointed at Bai Yan's long nose and said: "Well, you old bald man, others are crossing the river and burning the bridge. It's better for you. You haven't even crossed the river yet, and you are about to burn the bridge? If not, Ah
Qiang, can you eat such a big fish? Just dream!"
After hearing this, Bai Yanchang shrugged knowingly and motioned for Li Qiang to continue.
Li Qiang then continued: "Since the two elders insist on their own opinions, how about the younger generation just make a dish of one fish and eat two?"
"you?"
"Why, do you still doubt my son-in-law's skills?"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Is that okay?"
"Huh, that's pretty much it!" After saying that, Gu Hansheng motioned to Li Qiang to continue.
So Li Qiang, Abao and others immediately got busy, lighting the fire, washing the pots, cutting the pots, and preparing the ingredients.
Li Qiang even moved his bow left and right, taking care of the steamer on the left and the wok on the right at the same time. In less than half an hour, he made the giant grass carp weighing thirty-five kilograms into a piece.
Both the fish and the fish were eaten, and both the time and the heat were controlled very accurately, almost exactly. Everyone was amazed and amazed when they saw it.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not bad. It looks like an ordinary dish, but it is clean, fresh, tender, smooth, fragrant and sweet. As expected, you have to eat steamed fish." Gu Hansheng took a bite of the fish belly and put it on it.
Put it in your mouth and said with a look of enjoyment.
Not to be outdone, Bai Yanchang directly picked up a large piece of fish roe with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth. While tasting it carefully, he said in a similar manner: "Well, the texture is dense, slightly sticky to the teeth, and chewy."
When you chew it, it bursts into pieces. It’s full of flavor, but not fishy at all. The more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. Sure enough, it’s still braised to my liking. Not bad, not bad!”
The two of them enjoyed a feast of grass carp while bickering with each other.
"How about it? Now you should have some understanding of the old bald man's character, right?" On the way back, Gu Hansheng finally spoke to Li Qiang.
"Well, this time it is really thanks to my father-in-law that my son-in-law was able to figure out Uncle Bai's temper and character in such a short period of time. Now the plan can finally go ahead."
After hearing this, Gu Hansheng waved his hand, "I don't want to be so polite, but I still want to remind you that Luo Baoshan in Kowloon City is not an easy man. He is very ambitious and ruthless. You have to promise me,
If that kid ever turns his face, we must protect that old bald man at all costs, do you hear me?"
"I understand, father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law knows what's going on."
"That's good! You can send me to the University of Hong Kong in a while, and you can go about your own business. Someone will pick me up later."
"OK."
In a short time, Li Qiang sent Gu Hansheng to the gate of Hong Kong University. After parking the car, he got out of the car and went straight back to the Royal Hotel.
However, as soon as he entered the hotel lobby, Hong Zhong, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came over and reported to Li Qianghui in a deliberately lowered voice: "Master Aqiang, we found it!"
"Say it!"
"Ms. Bai's biggest hobby is dancing, and almost every night she invites three or five friends to dance in nightclubs, rain or shine, rain or shine. Here, this is her photo." As he said that, Hong Zhong took it from his arms.
He took out a photo and handed it to Li Qiang.
And when Li Qiang saw the bright smile on Bai Yue'e's face in the photo, he couldn't help but said: "Don't tell me, this Miss Bai is really beautiful. She must have a good appearance, a good figure, and
A detective father who is about to dote on her to the heavens, shouldn’t this person who came to propose marriage have trampled down the doorstep of their home?”
"That's not true!" Hong Zhong took over the conversation and said, "It's just that Miss Bai's vision is not ordinary. Those guys who come to propose marriage can't catch her eye at all."
"Interesting, this thing is getting more and more interesting." Hearing this, Li Qiang couldn't help but said, "So, tonight, as usual, she will invite her friends to dance?"
"Yes, but as far as I know, she only made an appointment with one friend today, and the destination is Litchi Garden."
"Richie Garden? That's such a coincidence! In that case, let's prepare according to the previous plan!"
"yes!"
…
As night falls and the lights begin to turn on, the entrance to Rechi Garden is still busy with traffic and people coming and going, creating a lively scene everywhere.
On the dance floor, accompanied by the rhythmic jazz dance music, the dance steps of both men and women could not help but become cheerful.
The most eye-catching thing among them is the white figure spinning and jumping on the dance floor like a smart musical note.
"How's it going?" Li Qiang, who was sitting on the edge of the dance floor, naturally recognized the owner of that figure at a glance, so he picked up his wine glass and asked Haitang next to him.
"Not bad. He's quite lively. He's brave enough to dare to come to a place like this alone."
Just as he was talking, I heard the fat man with shaggy hair at the next table, who kept eating and drinking while dancing to the cover, saying to his companion: "Nowadays, the small cigarette stalls all over the street have backup pipes hidden in them."
, as soon as he saw that business was good, he would take it out and give it to those smokers."
The companion couldn't help being stunned when he heard it, and replied with a look of disbelief: "No way? That's too blatant!"
"That's why I said you guys are all stupid and careless!"
But the companion didn't seem to care at all, "Humph, as long as you let me take charge, I will definitely behave and be honest!"
Although the voices of the two of them were not very loud, and they were covered by the sound of dance music, so they did not attract the attention of others, but every word they said was clearly understood and fell into Li Qiang's mind.
in the ears.
"There's a note!" Li Qiang didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly lowered his voice and whispered to Haitang, "In a moment, if something happens... you will..."
"clear!"
Li Qiang had just finished explaining to Haitang, and the waiter at the next table had already noticed the white elf who was still dancing on the dance floor.
"Brother Luo, what are you aiming at?" the fat man at the same table asked with a wicked smile, and then followed his gaze again, and then smiled even more obscenely, "Hey! On point, it looks quite pleasing to the eye.
of!"
As soon as these words came out, the man named Luo Ge smiled and said, "You may like others, but others may not like you, the head of the toilet seat!"
"Oh no?"
"Hey, how about we have a hero save the beauty?"
"Okay!" With that said, the fat man was about to get up and leave.
"Where are you going?"
"I'll help you find some brothers to come over and make a show so that you can be a hero and save the beauty!" Fatty said matter-of-factly.
Brother Luo didn't want to think about it, but he smiled and waved his hand, "Why bother? It's hard to find these three-legged toads. There are a lot of blind bastards. If you don't believe me, look over there! Aren't there two willing ones?"
After hearing this, the fat man quickly looked in the direction of his finger and found that there were two guys with malicious intentions next to the white figure on the dance floor. In the name of dancing, they did hooligan things again and again.
Move your hands and feet on her.
However, just when the two people were still hesitating whether to rush over immediately and stage a good show of a hero saving the beauty, an unexpected scene appeared.
I saw that the white figure not only did not show any fear after being stared at by the two guys, but instead showed a great contrast with the appearance of calmness and calmness. He quietly saw the opportunity and rewarded one of the guys.
He slapped him in the face, and then flew up with a kick, hitting the other guy's lower body squarely. After easily taking care of the two guys, he chuckled and left the dance floor without looking back, heading straight towards the bar.
go in the direction.
Upon seeing this, Li Qiang quickly winked at Haitang, who immediately understood and hurriedly got up and walked over quickly. Finally, he managed to get to the phone before the white figure and dialed a phone number.
Although he was beaten first, the white figure did not show any dissatisfaction, and even took a few steps back in a dignified manner to avoid hearing the content of the phone call.
Fortunately, Haitang's call didn't last long, but when she hung up the phone and inevitably came face to face with the white figure, both of them were stunned.
After a moment, the white figure took the initiative to break the silence, "This sister looks so familiar. Have we...have we met somewhere?"
Haitang replied with a half-smile: "Why, sister Yue'e, you don't even recognize me anymore? Take a closer look."
"You are...Sister Qinghe?! Oh my God! Am I dreaming? Didn't you go to France? When did you come back?"
"I came back a long time ago, but due to some special reasons, I didn't go back to Hong Kong, but stayed in Shanghai."
"Shanghai..." Bai Yue'e nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then continued to ask, "Then when are you coming back this time?"
"It's a wedding trip!"
"You're married?!" Bai Yue'e immediately opened her eyes and said in disbelief.
Haitang pointed at Li Qiang, who was sitting not far away, and replied: "Yes, well, the one sitting over there is your brother-in-law."
After hearing this, Bai Yue'e hurriedly looked in the direction of Haitang's finger. Unexpectedly, she happened to catch Li Qiang's gaze, so she hurriedly bowed in panic, even as a greeting, while Li Qiang smiled and raised his hand.
He raised his wine glass in return.
"I didn't expect that, Sister Qinghe, you are already married. How wonderful!" Bai Yue'e said with envy on her face.
"What about you, have you found someone you like?"
"There are quite a few people who came to propose marriage, but none of them suit my liking. Then there are those bastards who just didn't know how to live or die."
Speaking of this, Bai Yue'e suddenly remembered that she still had something to do, so she said apologetically to Haitang: "Sorry, Sister Qinghe, I was just catching up with you and almost forgot about the real thing. Please wait for me for a while, I'll go
Make a call and I'll be back soon."
"No, I guess you must call home, right? If so, there's no need, because I've already done it for you."
