Chapter 2070 Reimbursement (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)

Kai had no idea that his image had completely changed in the eyes of the comrades on the other side.

But he could still feel the estrangement and vigilance, which made Kai a little uncomfortable, with a feeling of "I originally wanted to look to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch". Comrade, I can also be patriotic, and I can also talk!

But thinking that I and the Chinese in this world are not on the same path after all... There is no way, who said that I was unlucky.

So I can only put away the faint melancholy.

As for the confrontation between Zhang Qiang and Strange, it is destined to have no results. There is no way that the two sides have no points of agreement at all, whether in terms of position or in terms of world outlook.

"I must guarantee that what you do cannot threaten the safety of life and property of the people of Hong Kong!"

This is Zhang Qiang's biggest concession... There is no way. Although according to international law, Kamar-Taj absolutely does not have the power to use force on Chinese territory without authorization, but reality is reality, law is law, if everything can really be done according to the law... Then it can only be said that the world is beautiful.

"We will do our best!" Although Strange was unhappy with the other party's attitude, he still made the biggest promise.

"It's not about trying our best, it's about making sure! Our people live well on this land, they have no reason, and no responsibility to bear the consequences for your affairs!" Zhang Qiang made a tough statement.

In fact, both sides knew that this was all bullshit.

After all, the development of the situation is not their turn to control, not to mention that neither of them has the status to represent the forces they belong to.

Zhang Qiang cannot represent China, and Strange cannot represent Kamar-Taj.

But the attitude still needs to be shown.

Kai, on the other hand, ate a big meal without any pressure. He scared Wang Jianguo and the man with "zero presence" next to him.

They were afraid that the foreign guests would eat their stomachs. You know, acclimatization can easily lead to various consequences.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kai ate a table of dishes by himself! Among them were two roast geese, a roast suckling pig, a white-cut chicken, and a steamed fish.

Plus various stir-fried dishes.

This appetite is really terrifying.

...

"Let's go." After eating, things were basically the same. Kai was not interested in continuing to talk nonsense with these people in the system.

There was no way, the two sides could not reach a consensus.

So apart from making both sides unhappy, there was no substantial breakthrough.

Strange had long wanted to stop.

So he summoned the portal directly, and the two walked in directly.

As for the few people from the S.H.I.E., they did not have any extreme reactions.

In fact, the S.H.I.E. knew very well that they could not clear the temple of Kamar-Taj... This thing was related to the entire Great Guardian. Although the S.H.I.E. did not know what the Great Guardian was, thinking about the recent anomalies in the world, you would know that this thing was related to the entire earth.

So the temple would definitely not be eradicated.

Then everything could only be tolerated for the sake of the country.

Some things cannot be done according to principles.

Although the S.H.I.E. definitely has its own ideas about the Great Guardian, they prefer to use a softer way rather than tearing their faces apart... After all, compared to other countries, China is already a big step ahead, even Kamar-Taj does not know about it.

They not only know Kamar-Taj, but also the Great Guardian.

This is leading!

"Director...are you really just watching like this?" Comrade Jianguo said worriedly.

"What else?" Zhang Qiang looked at the portal disappearing, then turned his head and said unhappily.

"No...I mean, they haven't paid yet!" Comrade Jianguo said straightforwardly.

Zhang Qiang became even angrier: "Look at how useless you are! You can just pay for it and get it reimbursed when you go back!"

"No, Director, I don't have any money!" Comrade Jianguo showed an expression as if his parents were dying.

You can't blame Comrade Jianguo for being so useless...but you have to understand the helplessness of a middle-aged man.

He has old people and young children, and his monthly salary doesn't go to him, but goes directly to his wife's card. He can only use various means, and he has to fight wits and courage with his wife to save up a little private money.

This money is his dignity as a man, so he won't take it out!

In fact, it's impossible to take it out.

You know, according to the organization's reimbursement process, if he takes out the money to be reimbursed, then the money will be directly deposited into his salary card after reimbursement... Isn't that equivalent to, he spent a lot of time and effort, and then his private money flowed into his wife's hands?

Of course, he can lie and say that he borrowed money from a colleague, and then get it back from his wife.

But the experience of being married for 20 years tells him not to do this.

Lying is not a good habit. A lie often requires more lies to cover it. Once it is exposed, private money + lying... Believe Wang Jianguo, he knows very well what the end will be. He can only live and eat with a dog for at least half a year!

The pain of a married man!

"Don't be so stingy, I said it will be reimbursed!" Director Zhang obviously didn't care that much.

Wang Jianguo didn't quibble, but directly took out his pocket, opened his Alipay and WeChat at the same time, and checked it for his leader.

The balance is pitifully small!

"Also, Director, don't you pay attention to the prices here?"

"What's wrong? How expensive can a tea restaurant be?" Director Zhang didn't care.

"No, no, no, ordinary dishes are of course not that expensive, but I have to admit that this ghost guy really knows how to eat! All he eats are kung fu dishes! I didn't expect that the tea restaurants here actually have such expensive dishes. !”

At this time, the man with zero presence spoke: "Hide the menu."

"Hide menu?"

"Yes, they will give you the menu only if you ask."

"Expensive?"

"It's very expensive! They are all very old-fashioned dishes. They are delicious, but they require a lot of work and the ingredients are also very expensive! For example, the fresh snail stewed with scallops and buckwheat he ordered just now costs 13,000."

"Pfft!!!" Director Zhang spit out all the tea in one gulp: "What is so expensive?! Dragon meat?"

"Dragon! Boss! This is the price."

The dragon grouper is a fish of the genus Grouper in the order Perciformes and family Grouperidae. It is also known as saddle band grouper and gentian grouper. It is the largest fish among grouper fish. Grouper is a high-end and valuable marine fish ingredient that is favored by consumers and is rich in high-quality protein and mineral elements. It has high edible value.

As the noble among groupers, it interprets its unparalleled charm with its extremely delicious meat texture and rich nutrition. There is even a saying circulating in the catering industry: If you have not tasted dragontail fish, you are definitely not a true gourmet.

Wild dragonfly does not easily appear in the sea, and experienced fishermen often use long lines, hand fishing or bottom trawling to catch it. Especially the large dragonfly weighing more than 150 kilograms. It is said that it has 40 to 50 years of experience in sea life, so it is more difficult to catch. Occasionally caught, it becomes a rare thing. The meat of the dragon fish is delicious and nutritious. It tastes better than the ordinary grouper, and it can be used to make a variety of dragon fish dishes. Currently, the supply is scarce and the price is expensive.

Wei Ling, a senior Hong Kong gourmet, said that the bigger the dragonfly, the more delicious it is, and the one weighing over 50 kilograms is the best. According to experts, when picking dragon fish, you should choose fish whose body, mouth and tail are intact, neat and not congested. Some people call fish skin, fish gills and fish buttons together the "Three Treasures of Dragon and Turtle", while others think that neck bones, fish buttons, fish intestines, shark fins and chin are the well-deserved "Five Heavenly Kings".

In fact, Kai has never eaten dragonfly.

On the one hand, before he traveled through time, he was not close to the sea. Seafood was extremely expensive. He had never eaten much ordinary seafood, let alone this kind of delicacy among sea delicacies. He had only heard of dragon clams before, but had never eaten them.

After time travel, I was directly abroad... I still haven't eaten dragon wormwood.

There is no way, foreign countries do not eat this stuff, either it is an endangered species, they are not used to it, or it is poisonous.

Kai just asked about the hidden menu while they were arguing. I just found out that the boss had entered a queue today, so I ordered it out of curiosity.

He didn't mean to trick them.

He was not short of money, so when he saw something he was interested in, he clicked on it. I didn't care about the price at all...so I didn't ask at all.

So, a set of dragon and glutinous rice dinner came.

In addition, we ordered shark's fin, bird's nest, abalone and so on.

Whatever is good, order something.

I ordered Tianjiu wings, two-headed abalone, blood swallow and so on.

At the same time, he also knew what Tianjiu Wings was and what two-headed abalone was.

In our old Hong Kong movies and Jianghu films, we often hear the word Tianjiu fin. Shark's fin is the top ingredient in seafood. In our country, shark's fin is an expensive ingredient. Kai used to think that it was fan.

Tian Jiu is the name of our country. The origin of Tian Jiu comes from Pai Gow. Pai Gow is an entertainment method invented by us. When we catch a pair of Tian Jiu among 32 cards of Pai Gow, it is naturally a good set of cards! Whale shark fins or basking shark fins are Tianjiu fins. The whale shark is the largest shark in the world and a marine fish more valuable than the giant panda. The number of basking sharks is equally rare and it is a protected object at the same level as the giant panda. But the most authentic version of Tianjiu Wings is that it comes from the basking shark, and the dorsal fin and tail fin are the most authentic! However, it was found through experiments that shark fins do not have high nutritional value, so in the face of countless seafood in the sea, just let these sharks go! After all, we don’t need shark meat, and sharks whose fins are cut off have no ability to move. Sharks that have lost a lot of blood will become bait for other seafood, or they will sink to the bottom of the sea and slowly rot!

As for the two-headed abalone, the two-headed abalone refers to the double-headed abalone. The term "how many abalones" comes from the weight, which means how many abalone can be weighed per pound. Two abalones per pound are called double-headed abalones, four abalones per pound are called four-headed abalones, and so on. Generally, the larger the size, the better the quality, and the more expensive the price. Double-headed abalone is very precious, so there is a saying among the people that "it's hard to buy a double-headed abalone for a lot of money". One pound here is one simajin, which is 604 grams. The larger the abalone, the more valuable it is, and the longer the breeding cycle, the greater the risk and the higher the cost.

And this refers to dry goods! It's Sugar Bob!

Among the abalone fins, abalone is the most precious. my country has a long history of eating abalone. Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms, was a loyal supporter of abalone. Su Dongpo, the great poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, also praised abalone. A mouthful of abalone is a mouthful of gold, which is recognition and affirmation of the soft-boiled abalone. The price of a soft, glutinous and sticky abalone may be dozens of times that of ordinary abalone!

What is a "sugar heart abalone"?

Sugar-heart abalone refers to abalone that has been dried and then cooked through a tedious soaking process, and then cooked with broth over low heat for a long time to taste, until the center of the abalone meat is semi-solidified and "soft-hearted". It is soft and tough, but also a little sticky. Every bite feels a little sticky, just like rice cake. This is "soft-hearted abalone". Fresh abalone does not have a soft heart. To have a soft heart, you must first make abalone dried. The soft heart is converted from the protein of the abalone itself. Whether the "soft heart" is formed or not has certain requirements on the type of fresh abalone, the drying process, and the stewing method. Soft-hearted abalone is the best of all dried abalones. The reason for this is that its taste and nutritional value are the best, and it is the first choice for all abalone lovers.

Soft-hearted abalone starts with material selection!

You must choose fresh and large abalone. It is difficult to process a good soft-hearted abalone from small abalone. Secondly, you need to see if the abalone is dry enough, how much butter there is, whether the bead edge is complete, and whether the abalone heart is big. Big ones are not good. Then use a light bulb to see if the abalone is transparent. If there is a black spot in the middle, it must be dead abalone and it is difficult to soften. Finally, smell it. Good abalone has a slight abalone fragrance, and the smelly ones are not good.

Sweet heart abalone is difficult to make.

The first step is "pre-cooking". That is, "brewing" (brewing: cooking ingredients by strictly controlling the temperature of the liquid medium). First, salt the abalone to remove the internal organs. After washing, heat the water to a slight boil over low heat, add abalone of equal size, slowly increase the heat, keep it at 80-90 degrees Celsius, and wait until the abalone core can be easily penetrated. The whole process takes about 2 hours.

The second step is drying. It is also the most critical part. Pre-drying: Spread the abalone flat on a straw mat and expose it to the sun for 2-3 hours a day. After 3 days, string the abalone with cotton thread or place it on a bamboo grid in a cool and ventilated place. Try to avoid exposure to the sun. Dry it for 1-2 months according to the size of the abalone. During the drying process, the outer layer of the abalone becomes hard, while the inner core slowly ferments because it is not completely dry, so it has a agar-like appearance, a strong sugar flavor (converted from part of the protein of the fresh abalone itself) and abalone fragrance, which is different from raw sun-dried abalone. After the fully dried soft-core dried abalone is stored for a period of time, a layer of white frost will appear on the surface. This is due to the protein in the abalone body coming out of the surface. It not only does not damage the quality of the abalone, but is one of the important signs of high-quality abalone. High-quality dried abalone is suitable for long-term storage, has appreciation and collection value, and becomes more valuable as it is stored. The older the dried abalone, the more valuable it is. Old abalone has a stronger and more fragrant flavor and a "soft-core" effect.

Kai didn't know about these things before. He just knew the names. How could he have thought that there were so many things to pay attention to?

Of course, good things are good things, but the only drawback is that they are expensive!

"Our hospitality standards..." Director Zhang looked at his subordinates expectantly, hoping to hear what he wanted to hear.

"It's exceeded! It's exceeded a long time ago! According to the reimbursement regulations, we have to make up the extra money ourselves... Also, we don't have much funding, so the reimbursement will take a long time to be issued..."
