Chapter 64 Roasted Suckling Pig
In Hong Kong Island in the 1950s, Liu Fu's villa on Hennessy Road was not a land king, and the price was only 0.5 times higher than the house on Boundary Street South.
Before the real estate tide arrived, the real estate bubble was zero. Even though there were many bad things in Hong Kong Island at this time, the houses were still bought to live in. Therefore, even in prime locations such as Central and South Hong Kong Island, the housing prices were only about twice as high as those in the New Territories.
The total price of Liu Fu's villa with a basement, garden and swimming pool is only 90,000 Hong Kong dollars. Zhou Wenqiang wants to buy such a villa now without blinking.
But Zhou Wenqiang is not prepared to invest in real estate now.
The real rise of Hong Kong real estate began in 1953, which is two years later. At that time, you only need to invest half a year in advance. Two years in advance is not called investment, but short-term trap.
If you buy it to live in, you don’t have to consider the rise and fall of housing prices. However, Zhou Wenqiang’s favorite location is Repulse Bay and Taiping Mountain, which is really luxurious houses in land king areas such as Hennessy Road, which is not even up or down.
Especially on the top of Taiping Mountain, if you want to move in here, you can’t just have money, but you also have to have an identity.
Not only do you have to be rich, but you also have to be expensive!
From the time when the Governor of Hong Kong Sir Macdonald built a villa in Taiping Mountain in 1868, to 1904, living in Taiping Mountain was listed as the exclusive right of the upper class and foreign embassies. This system was abolished after Ge Lianghong joined the Governor.
The system was abolished, but the status represented by the residence on the top of Taiping Mountain has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Hong Kong people. Even in the 21st century where Zhou Wenqiang was born, Boss Ma had to spend 1.5 billion yuan to purchase real estate here.
"Zhou Sir, do you like the house here very much?
Hongmen also has professional talents in real estate economy. If you want to buy a villa here, you can get a 10% discount..."
Zhou Wenqiang hasn't bought a car yet. Today, Qi Weiwen drove to pick him up. Seeing that he was paying attention to the villa on the roadside, he smiled and joked, "You are the Tiger of the New Territories now, and the boss of Beiwang Company. You still live in Dongtou Village, Kowloon, and it is no longer in line with your identity."
Zhou Wenqiang looked at Qi Weiwen. Today, this Hongmen boss was dressed up, with wavy curly hair, wearing cheongsams, stockings, high heels, and sprayed with high-end French perfume. He really didn't look like a tycoon in the world, but more like a socialite.
"Qi Xiang is joking. The company is started and needs money everywhere. I am still a poor person."
Qi Weiwen chuckled and exhaled as if she was a little bit like a lantern: "Oh, I won't lend you money, why are you poor?
How much benefit did you get from Fan Tingsun? Others don’t know, but I can’t know?
Think about it, if you want to hide a beautiful woman in the future, how much aggrieved people will feel if they don’t have a villa?”
After saying that, a pair of watery big eyes looked at Zhou Wenqiang with resentment, and water was almost flowing out.
Zhou Wenqiang naturally avoided her hot gaze: "Qi Xiang laughed again, how could I have any beauty to hide?"
Qi Weiwen gave him a blank look: "Haha, who doesn't know about Hong Kong and Jiujiang River now? Great Wall Film has produced a beautiful woman who is charming and fairy-like,
For her, our Zhou Sir did not hesitate to offend Cao Shijie of the Changle Gang.
Isn’t this Miss Yang the beauty you Zhou Sir wants to hide?”
Zhou Wenqiang frowned when he heard this: "Qi Xiang, when did you receive this news?"
There was something strange in my heart. I didn't promote this matter myself. Cao Shijie was defeated and couldn't find the place again. I wouldn't be so stupid that I took the initiative to talk about it everywhere.
If it wasn't me and Cao Shijie, it was even more impossible for me to be from Great Wall Pictures. Who was the news that it was heard, and it would be known to the entire Hong Kong, Jiujiang River and the rest of the world so quickly?
There must be something wrong with this matter.
"That's two or three days ago, you, the boss, was busy making money, and most likely he didn't know about it.
But heroes and beauties are all good stories and nothing.
By the way, Sir Zhou, are you really interested in this Miss Yang?”
If a woman is a gossip, people like Qi Weiwen cannot avoid the vulgarity.
Seeing that Zhou Wenqiang was silent, Qi Weiwen thought he didn't want to mention this matter, so he kept silent. After a few minutes, he tapped the steering wheel and entered the villa on the roadside: "It's time, you have to see if your skills are really so powerful, and you can make pineapple bread and roast suckling pigs in ancient ways?"
***
In the back garden of the villa, a little black pig was running happily. Occasionally, he would run to Liu Fu's feet sitting under the sun umbrella, rub his ankle a few times, and act coquettishly.
Liu Fu was wearing a loose home clothes and was basking in the sun comfortably. Looking at the little black pig, his saliva was almost flowing out.
A two-meter-deep grilled hole was dug out on the turf next to it. A temporary vegetable case, sink and blood pool were prepared nearby. Even the pig-packing man was ready. Two large and thick male seal servants were ready to wait for the call at any time.
Seeing Zhou Wenqiang and Qi Weiwen coming, Liu Fu did not hesitate at all. He stepped forward and gave Qi Weiwen a deep hug, blinked at Zhou Wenqiang and said, "It's up to you to see your skills today.
If you are satisfied with Fusir, you will be treated as a lip service by the strong wind and I will not pursue it again.
Otherwise, don’t blame Fu Sir for demoting you, the “New Territories Tiger”, back to your military uniform. Do you still have any face at that time?"
Zhou Wenqiang was angry when he heard this: "Fu Sir, if you say this, I won't make any ancient roasted suckling pig today, so that this craft is the best!
What does it mean to be a lip service? If you believe it or not, I will tell you privately to major newspapers?
Tsk, just ask Fan Tingsun to give a few heads and some fans...
Do you guess these words will become the front page headlines of major newspapers in Hong Kong Island tomorrow?”
Liu Fu's face changed: "Boy, you don't give me any face at all!
I...I, you're so angry!"
Seeing this, Qi Weiwen smiled and said, "Okay, OK, Ah Fu, I don't care today. If I can't eat the ancient roasted suckling pig, I will not pay attention to you again in the future.
Today I am only allowed to talk about food, not business affairs!”
Liu Fu snorted and glared at Zhou Wenqiang fiercely: "You guy, why don't you take action?
Fusir is the most considerate person, and he has specially prepared two seal servants to help you.”
Zhou Wenqiang looked at the two Indians, shook his head and said, "Killing pigs is not acrobatics, what do you want them to do?
Moreover, even Indians have bad hands, which will affect the quality of food!
I'll do it myself!"
As he said that, he caught the little black pig, grabbed it and pressed it next to the blood pool, picked up the sharp-eared knife on the vegetable table, aimed it at the pig's neck, and stabbed it hard.
"Ao!"
With a knife, the pig's blood squirted wildly. The little black pig danced with four hooves and wanted to struggle, but Zhou Wenqiang held it tightly. All the pig's blood entered the blood pool, and no drop was splashed out.
Liu Fu and Qi Weiwen both saw her eyebrows hopped, and she thought to herself, 'It's true that it's the tiger of the New Territories. This kid's hands are really cruel!'
After all the pig's blood was released, the knife light flashed in Zhou Wenqiang's hand, as fast as a cook, remove the hair, open the cattle, and clean it. In just over ten minutes, a small suckling pig that had been coated with sugar was already lying on the chopping board.
The so-called ancient method is first seen in knife skills.
Although he used the knife quickly just now, he left a series of knife marks in the pig's belly that matched the texture of the pork. This ancient flower knife can help the suckling pig be roasted faster, and it also has the effect of dissipating ointment oil and reducing cholesterol content.
It also makes the pork heat more evenly and crispier.
After applying the suckling pig to the icing coat, it needs to be left for ten minutes. Zhou Wenqiang began to cook the grilled holes.
The grilled hole that Liu Fu dug was a new hole, which not only had heavy water vapor, but also insects and ants. It must be burned thoroughly before it can be used normally.
Although lychee wood is not expensive, it is really difficult to find lychee wood specifically used for fuel in this era. Now it is used by Zhou Wenqiang to burn holes without any pain, but Liu Fu nodded secretly.
Pay attention!
Just be particular!
Maybe I’ll really be happy today!
After the grilling hole was cooked, it was allowed to be cool naturally. Zhou Wenqiang did not put lychee wood in it. What he wanted to make was an ancient roasted suckling pig, but it was not an ancient smoked suckling pig, so he had to burn charcoal first.
Burning charcoal is also one of the basic skills of chefs. However, in many modern places, charcoal is not even allowed to be used, which is not environmentally friendly enough. Many chefs have even abandoned their basic skills.
Zhou Wenqiang loved to study cooking skills in his past life, and with the systematic skills assistance, there is certainly no difficulty in burning this lychee charcoal.
From selecting materials, to using fire, removing fire, and warming and cooling, Zhou Wenqiang's charcoal not only burns the right heat, but also is also very regular. In the later stage, hexagonal standard charcoal racks can be stacked in the pit with just a little plastic surgery.
After these high-quality lychee charcoal were ignited, a faint lychee fragrance rose from the pit without putting it in the suckling pig. This wonderful smell made Liu Fu and Qi Weiwen couldn't help but lick their lips at the same time.
“I’ll do it!
