Cooking is an art, and all arts require talent.
Since a certain era that cannot be traced back, men's ability to cook has become the best weapon for picking up girls and being sentimental and seductive. No matter if they are loli, B-girl, wife, or mature woman, they are often shocked by a man's superb cooking skills, and then become obsessed with his concentration and gentleness when cooking, and their hearts are slightly moved.
There is a saying that goes, if your heart is moved, will your pants still be tight
Although Wen Liang was a loser in his previous life, he still had a pilgrimage-like yearning for the physical characteristics of beautiful women when he dreamed at midnight. In their senior year, under the persuasion of Tan Yu, the two secretly signed up for a cooking class. After just one week of learning, the master chef persuaded them to quit with tears in his eyes and refunded the tuition in full. The reason was very powerful: many people can't make fried rice with eggs, but it's rare to smash the egg white and eggshell together every time for seven days. No, not too rare, two appeared at once!
The two of them quit the cooking class in disgrace. The two losers kept complaining to each other that they were being dragged down by each other, which lowered their IQs. After six years together, they were still not as smart as the stray dog in front of the dormitory building - that dog would knock off the shells when eating peanuts, and had a much higher IQ!
After this bloody lesson, Wen Liang never went into the kitchen again until he was sixteen again. So after throwing all kinds of ingredients into the kitchen, Uncle Wen clapped his hands and went back to the sofa to wait for dinner. Zuo Yuxi was quick to grab his arm and said, "Where are you going?"
"Well, I just saw two ants fighting, so I went to be the referee!" Wen Liang said righteously and confidently.
"Bah! Don't even think about running away. I'm starving. Come over here and make dinner."
Wen Liang looked at her in surprise, pointed at his nose and said, "I do it?"
Zuo Yuxi blinked her big eyes and said blankly: "Is it possible for me to do it? I haven't even turned on the gas..."
Wen Liang didn't know what to say, and shook his body three times to show that he was shocked. Sister, you don't know how to do it, and you still suggest starting a fire
He smiled bitterly and said, "I know how to turn on the gas, but the problem is... Okay, let's study it together. Don't worry, I can take down the mayor, but I can't take down a meal?"
"Sister Zuo, go pick the vegetables and I'll cut the meat."
"... Well, actually, it's like this. For celery, we mainly remove the leaves and keep the stems." Zuo Yuxi was holding a bowl full of leaves, looking a little depressed. Wen Liang hurriedly comforted him: "Of course, it doesn't mean that we can't just eat the leaves..."
"You have to pick up the dishes and rub them hard when washing them. Leaving them in the sink won't get them clean." Bang, the dishes slipped from his hands and broke directly. "Ah? Director Zuo, now we know that picking up dishes to wash them is wrong. We have to pay the tuition for reform! Don't hit me, don't hit me..."
Facts have proved that cooking is not much easier than bringing down a mayor. There were constant problems from the beginning. As soon as the oil was heated, Wen Liang asked Zuo Yuxi to step back three steps, then he moved away and threw the dish into the pot with the accuracy of a basketball shot. The splashing oil caused the two to scream in unison. Then he began to struggle with the seasoning. If there was too much salt, he would add water. If the water was too bland, he would add salt again, and so on.
They laughed and joked, and finally finished the first tomato scrambled eggs. They looked at each other and almost wanted to cry. Then they made celery and pork shreds. As soon as the oil started to smoke and Wen Liang was about to put the vegetables in, Zuo Yuxi ran out of the kitchen and climbed on the door frame with only her head exposed.
Wen Liang was furious: "Zuo Yuxi!"
Zuo Meimei pouted and walked in reluctantly. She stood next to Wen Liang, turned her head and closed her eyes, with a look of indignation like a martyr: "Let him go!"
With a "sizzle", Zuo Yuxi didn't feel the oil splashing on her body. She opened her eyes and saw Wen Liang standing sideways in front of her, smiling slightly. If Uncle Wen knew what she was thinking, he would definitely praise her shamelessly: there is more than one way to success. Although I can't cook, I can still make beautiful women "feel a little moved"!
With experience, the next step was easy. Ding ding dong dong, they prepared five dishes and put them on the table. They smelled good, but the appearance was not good. The two of them were still laughing and opened two cans of beer. Zuo Yuxi raised the glass high and said loudly: "Cheers!"
"Dry!"
The wine glasses clinked lightly together, and several pale yellow hops secretly jumped out, drawing crystal clear arcs of light in the air, reflecting the faces of the two people, from the ends of the hair to the tip of the nose to the lips, just like a slow-motion shot in a movie, quietly touching each other in the arc of light.
After drinking a glass of wine, Zuo Yuxi played with the glass and suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask who that person is?"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "A dog face and a pair of dog eyes, of course it's a dog. I have no interest in dogs."
Zuo Yuxi laughed loudly, pointed at Wen Liang and said, "You, your mouth can make people angry to death, but I like it!"
“I’m deeply honored!”
Zuo Yuxi seemed to want to finish discussing the matter before dinner, and asked again: "What problems do you need to solve now?"
Wen Liang knew that she was asking about Bai Huan, so he said after a moment's hesitation, "First question, after Yang and his party stepped down, Hou Qiang's father, Hou Chuanhai, took over Huashan District. I guess Bai Huan and his party would go to a hotel in Huashan District to ensure their safety. If we want to show up in time and catch them in the act, it might be difficult."
Huashan District is the largest district in Qingzhou and the most prosperous place in Qingzhou. There are countless places with bright lights and wine, and it is a famous place for money and drunkenness. Hou Chuanhai is now in power. As long as Hou Qiang finds a reliable hotel and has Bai Huan's support, let alone the medicine wheel and rice, even if something really happens, there are still people to help clean up the mess. Of course, the premise is that those girls are from ordinary families and have no backing. For families like Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning, they dare not cut off their heads.
Zuo Yuxi sneered: "What can a bunch of little brats do to be shy? It doesn't matter. There's nothing wrong with going directly to Huashan District to arrest people. No one dares to stop us after we catch them!"
Wen Liang shook his head: "Of course there is nothing wrong with forcibly arresting him, but what we want is to have solid evidence and make it an ironclad case overnight. Then even if Bai Changqian and Hou Chuanhai come forward together, they won't have anything to say. If we do it in Huashan District, the impact will be too great and it will probably fail. Even if we force Bai Changqian to surrender, it will alert Zhou Yuanting."
Zuo Yuxi frowned and said, "I always feel that it is not reliable to kidnap Bai Changqian on board with this."
Wen Liang laughed and said, "Of course it's not just that! As long as Xu Fuyan and Secretary Zuo stir up the movement in the province and shock Qingzhou with thunderous force, Bai Changqian will naturally feel tremendous pressure. When the situation is formed, he will have no choice but to bow his head. In the final analysis, Bai Huan's matter is just a stepping stone and a reasonable excuse for Bai Changqian to surrender. If we want to completely overthrow Zhou Yuanting, I'm afraid that Qinghua Factory's strength is not enough. With Bai Changqian, there is no doubt that our chances of winning will increase..."
Struggles in officialdom are like gambling. No one dares to be sure that the cards in his hand can completely defeat the other party, so he can only seize every possible opportunity and add chips to his own hand to increase his chances of winning.
Zuo Yuxi then understood Wen Liang's true intention. Qinghua Factory was in the open, while Bai Changqian was in the dark. Ultimately, their goal was to force Zhou Yuanting into a desperate situation with no possibility of recovery.
Wen Liang was so young, but he planned all this with such great care, wasn't it for her
Zuo Yuxi's starry eyes were hazy. She reached over from the table, tightly grasped Wen Liang's hand, and asked in a low voice: "What should we do then?"
"I'll find a way to solve this problem! The second problem is the manpower for the operation. Liu Zhihe doesn't dare to alarm his father, and he just wants to trick a few policemen from the police station to arrest people. It's just a joke. If Bai Huan or Hou Qiang reveals their identities, won't the police be scared and leave obediently? So the people who go to arrest people must be reliable, brave, and know the seriousness of the situation..."
As he spoke, he made eye contact with Zuo Yuxi, and the two of them laughed and said in unison: "Liu Tianlai."
Doing dirty work, this is Director Liu’s fate!
"For the third question, I once hesitated..." Wen Liang's eyes flashed with reluctance. Ever since he heard Liu Zhihe's story, two completely different words have been flashing in his mind: failed? Or accomplished
Zuo Yuxi's hand trembled slightly. Wen Liang sensed her thoughts and smiled bitterly: "You thought about it too? From the perspective of chances, it would undoubtedly be better to have a fait accompli. But on the other hand, she is a girl in her prime after all..."
Zuo Yuxi lowered his head. He couldn't see her expression or her inner thoughts.
The road to heaven is always full of thorns and blood, and there is no room for mercy and kindness. Wen Liang is not a savior. He has nothing but to take advantage of the situation and create momentum, threading needles between many forces, and walking a tightrope to manage the situation to such a point that he cannot tolerate the possibility of failure.
Zuo Yuxi is not a child, nor a weak woman. She is in the officialdom, her father is in a high position, and she herself almost lost her soul in a conspiracy. How many so-called decisions for the overall situation have she seen? She understands this, so even if Wen Liang made a choice she didn't want to see, she couldn't say a word of blame.
"But I know you definitely don't want to see that happen. In this case, even if our chances of winning are slightly reduced, we must rescue the girl and prevent her from getting hurt."
"Huh?" Zuo Yuxi raised her head, surprise flashing in her eyes, illuminating the entire room.
Wen Liang suddenly became very excited. If he had to live a gloomy life according to the law of the jungle after being reborn, he would be worse than the dog in front of the dormitory. In fact, when he saw Zuo Yuxi, he had already made up his mind to save people. It was not impulsive, not passionate, and not to joke about the interests of the entire circle. It was not for anything else, but for Zuo Yuxi's wanton smile at this moment!
It was an unexpected gain beyond my plan. If I get it, I’m lucky. If I lose it, I won’t accept my fate!
Whoever kills one person and shocks the entire army, kill him!
A ruthless person may not be a true man!
If you can reward one person and please thousands of people, then reward him!
A passionate person is always a hero!
