Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 825: No meal without 4 dishes

That night, Matsuzaki stayed at the restaurant, and Lin Ze returned to the Lin residence to rest.

I finally got back and didn't have breakfast at home. I went to a tofu stall near the East Gate.

The stall owner was shaking with excitement. He wiped the bench again and again, then took out a fine porcelain bowl, washed it clean, and gave Lin Zesheng the old tofu.

Steaming tofu, topped with chives, chili sauce, and a little braised shrimp oil, the aroma penetrates into your nose and makes you drool.

Take a spoonful and eat it. It tastes hot at first, warming your body instantly, and then the tender and smooth texture and the aroma of the condiments explode in your mouth.

After eating two bowls, sweat appeared on my forehead.

This does not include breakfast. The old tofu can only fill the stomach, which is not enough to satisfy hunger. Niu Saner went to the stall next door and got a bowl of mutton soup.

This thing is like braised pork. Those who like it love it very much, while those who don’t like it can’t stand the smell of internal organs.

People who eat mutton offal soup are divided into two groups: one group eats the meat first, and the other group drinks the soup first.

At this time, the latter is often the majority, because the meat is precious and refined. Even if it is offal, it is still meat.

They were reluctant to eat it all and just kept drinking the soup. When it was gone, they would add more. They would often drink two or three bowls before slowly eating the remaining offal at the bottom of the bowl. Even then, some people were reluctant to finish it and would ask the stall owner for oil paper to wrap the offal and take it home.

At noon, stew some cabbage and add some offal to it, and it will be another meaty meal.

Lin Ze ate both meat and soup, and bought a few grass-oven baked buns.

This sesame cake requires a lot of skill. It cannot be made with firewood, but rather with straw. A handful of straw is put in and burned, and then the furnace will become hot.

The maker of sesame seed buns sticks the thin dough on the furnace and then fills it with a handful of straw. The flame quickly shapes the buns and then the residual heat from the ash bakes the buns.

It is crispy and crispy, and the aroma of grain can be smelled with every bite.

Use a small spoon to scoop out the mutton offal, spread it on the sesame cake, add coriander and minced garlic, pour mutton oil and chili on it, take a bite, and the satisfaction brought by the combination of carbohydrates and meat is irreplaceable.

I had almost finished the meat and there was one pancake left, which I broke into pieces and threw into the bowl, then drank both the pancake and the soup.

After having such a meal, I won’t feel tired at all after unloading the truck at the yard for the whole morning.

After breakfast, he walked around again. It would probably take him two days to visit all the government offices.

In the evening, Gao Shengping came to invite him again, so Lin Ze simply called Wang Xiaoshou and Xiao Duan to go to Lao Gao's villa for dinner.

When meeting Lin Ze, Wang Xiaoshou turned back into his little follower self.

"Master Lin! You finally remembered me. Sometimes I thought I might as well go back to Tianjin. It's good to be in Beijing, but I can't see you anymore!"

Lin Ze kicked him and said, "I finally arranged for you to be the captain of the detective team, and this is all you can do?"

Xiao Duan smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, Brother Xiaoshou can't leave as the captain. Please take me with you. I will be your attendant officer and can even guard the house!"

Lin Ze shook his head. "You should stay here honestly. I'm just a lieutenant colonel. Why do I need an aide-de-camp?"

Lao Gao interrupted and said, "Speaking of this, Shengmin, you are a little too humble. You are now in a high position and powerful, and you can be called a provincial governor. But look at you, you still drive those two or three cars when you go out, and you don't sprinkle water to clean the streets wherever you go. You have no manners!"

Wang Xiaoshou agreed with him and nodded hurriedly, "That's right, Master Lin. The greater your power, the greater your pomp and circumstance. You are too low-key. In my opinion, you must have at least a hundred guards with you. The roads must be cleared before the cars go out on the streets. When you receive guests, you must also give them instructions in advance. How does the opera say that anyone who looks up at the emperor..."

Lin Ze ignored their nonsense and said, "Hurry up and serve the food. I've been running around all day and visited several administrative committees. I'm already hungry."

Xiao Duan was puzzled and said, "Although it is reasonable to go out after the New Year, the Administrative Committee depends on you. Why do you still need to go out there?"

Lin Ze instructed, "Do what you need to do, but you must be polite. For example, if you have a grudge against someone, even if you want to kill him tonight, you still need to greet him when you see him during the day."

Lao Gao smiled and said, "Shengmin is right. If you can't do it well on the surface, you can't do it here. Although Shengmin holds the power of life and death in the Administrative Committee, this is something that everyone knows. We should respect Wang Kemin, right?"

There is really nothing fancy about what Beijingers eat in winter. Ordinary people eat radishes, cabbages, and pickled vegetables, while rich people eat hotpot.

Today, Lao Gao asked the chef to prepare six dishes, all of which were big dishes like braised pork elbow and stewed black sea cucumber, but the main attraction was still the hot pot.

As soon as the wine was poured, the atmosphere became lively. Except for Lao Gao who had a limited appetite, the rest of the people were able to eat. They ate whole plates of mutton and enjoyed it very much.

.........

From the Chinese New Year to now, Wen Saner has not driven the car.

Years ago, he helped Director Niu move things and received a lot of tips from various shops.

Not only did we have a prosperous year, but we still have surplus even now.

Wen Saner was a man who would never go out to work as long as he had extra money, which made the drivers who lived with him in the same dormitory in the factory very envious.

"Look at Wen San'er. Hey, these days he's either walking on the overpass or going to the White House. He's living a life of luxury. My god, he's living like a god!"

Wen Saner said disdainfully: "Look at what you have accomplished! Is this your life like a god? I tell you, there will be Master Wen to help you in the future. When Director Niu helps me, I will eat at Quanjude every day and sleep in Qinsheng Lane every night. I say, don't call me Wen Saner all the time, call me Master Wen!"

People with good sense ignored him, but there were some snobbish people with not very good brains who kept calling him "Master Wen" all day long, either helping to light cigarettes or emptying the urinal. Not to mention, this kind of flattery really made Wen Saner feel like a master!

He lay on the bed all afternoon today, and only came out in the late afternoon, putting on his cotton jacket.

I wandered around and found a meat shop and ordered a plate of mixed shredded vegetables and a plate of fried tofu.

Instead of ordering a bottle of wine, he asked the waiter to make him three or two glasses of sweet potato wine.

The waiter smiled at him and said, "Master Wen, what's wrong? Don't you not eat without four dishes and not raise your glass without a bottle of wine?"

Master Wen stared at his movements of pouring wine, not giving him a chance to add water, and still said unforgivingly, "Stop talking nonsense to me. I serve four dishes every day, and your shopkeeper is very happy. I am tired of eating big fish and meat every day during the New Year, and I don't know how much good wine I have drunk. Today I want to eat this sweet potato. I say, hurry up and heat it up and serve it."

The waiter brought a large bowl, poured hot water into it, and while Wen Saner turned around, he poured out some wine from the jug, added some water, and then put it in the large bowl to keep it warm.

"I said, hurry up!"

"Hey, here I come, here I come!"
