Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

The abalone incubator has a volume of 20 liters, which is about the size of an ordinary microwave oven. The full incubator was obviously beyond Liu Ziqing's expectations, and he didn't even react for a while. It wasn't until Huang Xuan said: "Hey, don't you want it?" Liu Ziqing hurriedly took the box from Huang Xuan's hand. Since it was airtight, he couldn't help asking: "How many are there?"

"36 big abalones, and some small ones." Huang Xuan stretched his shoulders down relaxedly. The abalones are not heavy, but the incubator is not. Although it is portable, there are large pieces similar to notebooks inside. The battery, control IC and pure copper heat exchange parts add up to 5 kg.

"36?" Liu Ziqing's eyeballs have a strong connecting nerve.

Huang Xuan made a smiling movement, and said, "Since it's an abalone feast, naturally we can't have one for each person. What does Mr. Li say?"

"Master Li originally expected that if there were two three-headed abalones..." Liu Ziqing paused, then asked hesitantly, "How big is the big abalone?"

"Uh, most of them are three-headed abalones. Among them are the six two-headed abalones I chose. My family probably rarely eats them. Try them."

The connection nerves of Liu Ziqing's eyeballs tenaciously withstood the test, and he swallowed all the words that came to his lips, made a gesture, and said, "OK, I'll leave it to Master Li." Crazy boss stay away.

In the kitchen, Li Wenji stood behind the preserved egg, watched him stir the old soup with a spoon, and said: "The most important thing to cook abalone with high soup is the heat. If the fire is too high, the Jinhua ham will easily disperse and the soup will thicken. Small ones, the shark's fin and bird's nest can't be stewed, and the aroma of the chicken can't come out, so the taste is weak..."

Just as he was talking, Liu Ziqing and Li Qing came in carrying the incubator, and the former said loudly, "Master Li, here's the abalone."

"Oh, how is it?" Li Wenji also walked over expectantly. The big reason why he agreed to this abalone banquet was also to see Huang Xuan's strength, and to cook a few 3 best net abalones with his own hands. Ordinary wild three-headed abalone can be won for 500,000 yuan, and domestic abalone has a record of less than 100,000 yuan. However, such a top-quality three-headed abalone is not something that anyone can afford. You can buy it wherever you go. In his mind, Huang Xuan shouldn't be so reluctant to eat it himself.

Liu Ziqing had a strange expression, carefully placed the incubator on the table, and took the incubator from Li Qing's hand. Next to the two boxes next to it, he said, "Why don't you take a look first?"

He felt that if he repeated Huang Xuan's words, it would test the hearts of everyone present and create confusion.

Like many Hong Kong people, Li Wenji opened his shoulders and shrugged, took off his gloves, and greeted: "Hua Zai, come and help."

Hua Tsai is a young man in his 20s, and he is still a chef at the Felicity Restaurant, and he has risen to the position of chef. He is qualified to cook a dish, but he does things seriously. Being favored by Li Wenji, he had the opportunity to go out with the master like a preserved egg.

He agreed in a low voice. Hua Tsai ran to Li Wenji's side. He took two wooden plates and waited for Li Wenji to pick up the abalone.

The first incubator opens.

Liu Ziqing took a look with his head. They were all abalones that were smaller than the palm of your hand, and they were a size smaller than the ones that Huang Xuan took out the day before yesterday.

Li Wenji became cautious.

While holding out the abalone with both hands, he seemed to be explaining to Hua Zai: "The reason why dried abalone is better than fresh abalone is that the core is the heart. Dried abalone without the heart is no different from steamed bun residue. Now People don’t pay attention to it, and the farmed abalone is too cheap, and many abalones that have been exposed to the sun have lost their hearts.”

Li Wenji turned over the abalone while talking, and said: "The best four-head net abalone, the heart is square and elastic, and one is at least 300,000." He looked up at Liu Ziqing, and praised: "Your boss has strength .”

Liu Ziqing didn't speak, he was still waiting for Li Wenji to open other incubators.

While talking with his mouth, Li Wenji didn't stop with his hands. He fished out the abalone and placed it flat on the wooden plate. The boxes are divided into layers. He took out the 6 on the first layer, and there were 6 more. Hua Zai, who was next to him, swallowed and said, "That's 300?"

"More than that." Liu Ziqing had also done his homework, and snorted, "If this wasn't in the same house, I would have called it Baoquan just now, and my hands were trembling when I held it."

"A thief who is so knowledgeable can be regarded as an elegant thief." Li Wenji said with a smile, spread out this layer of abalone, and then picked up the lower layer.

"Huh, so small?" Hua Tsai called out. Liu Ziqing also turned to look sideways, and sure enough, they were all small abalones with less than 20 heads.

The preserved egg on the side stretched his head over to take a look, and gave Hua Zai a shoulder by the way, and said: "I don't understand, it's not easy for Xiao Bao to show his heart, and these are what rich people eat."

"How much is such a small thing worth?" Hua Tsai said dissatisfiedly after seeing the four heads just now: "I can afford this too."

"Affordable?" The preserved egg snorted and said, "These are not for the table."

"Not at the table?"

Seeing that Liu Ziqing was also listening, Preserved Dan said seriously: "Don't look at these abalones are only 30 big, but they are authentic Jipin abalones. They only have soft-boiled hearts. They have been stewed in the refrigerator over a slow fire. When you want to eat them, you can eat them." Take one and eat it, just like a snack."

"Dim sum?" Andy Lau added his lips, and said, "Should there be this abalone?"

Li Wenji picked up these small abalones one by one and said: "Almost, in the 1980s+ | many rich people in Hong Kong also liked to eat this way, but now few people eat it, and the number of abalones is getting less and less. Now 28 abalones can be served. .”

"Hong Kong eats so many abalones every year, of course." Preserved egg looked at the fire and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see all four abalones by the time I can cook."

"It's almost gone now." Li Wenji shook his head and said: "Two years ago, there were people who wanted to taste two-headed abalone at a high price, but no one sold it after driving 500. I don't think no one sold it. It's just that there is no such thing in this world. Two-headed abalone, and occasionally heirlooms, it is really better to put it in a safe, according to the current rate of appreciation. It is definitely more profitable than investing in the stock market. Think about it, 3 catties of abalone with more than 5 taels is a three-headed abalone, let alone net abalone Yes, Jipin abalone will grow for 30 to 40 years, two-headed abalone needs to be dried with a catty of abalone, and 100 will not grow. The bigger the abalone, the slower it will grow. I have not seen two-headed abalone for almost 5. Your master I held a state banquet for Deng Xiaoping back then. I also saw two-headed abalone

It happened 40 years ago..." The master Li Wenji mentioned was naturally

As he was talking, Hua Tsai next to him said in a muffled voice: "Chef, take a look, this abalone seems a bit too big.".

"Huh?" Li Wenji didn't care. Turning his head around while saying something in his mouth, he almost bit his tongue with a "uh".

In the second incubator, there are two abalones upright, looking like ingots. The edge stood upright, just as tall as an adult's palm, and Li Wenji made a long exhalation sound, as if he wanted to spit out all the air in his lungs. He gently grasped the lower end of the abalone with his hand, held it over his head, and put it on the light to illuminate it. Under the light, the red color came out along the edge.

"Two-headed abalone." Li Wenji whispered, "This is the two-headed abalone."

Everyone in the kitchen stopped their hands and looked at the pilgrim-like Li Wenji, for a chef who just started making abalone. It is very lucky to be able to see the two-headed Bao.

Andy put the wooden plate just now in the incubator in the kitchen. Turning around and handing over the plate, Li Wenji carefully placed the two abalones on the upper layer in the plate. Solemnly, it seems to be really carrying ingots.

He took a breath. He wanted to take a look at Liu Ziqing, but he didn't. In this way, the second layer of the incubator was opened.

There were exclamations one after another.

Whether the chefs here are from the Felicity Hotel or Li Wenji invited from nearby restaurants, whether they understand it or not, they have just heard him introduce the two-headed abalone, which is priced at 5 million yuan each. Isn't there already 20 million?

Li Wenji held his breath, and took a picture of the two abalones under the light. The same red light came out through his body, which was a sign of showing his heart. He moved his shoulders and placed them in Hua Tsai's arms again on the plate. The latter was worried that he would miss it, so he has changed it to a hug.

Steadily but slowly, Li Wenji also opened the third floor of the incubator.

The same dazzling two abalones.

The two-headed dried abalone is actually not big at all, only ten centimeters high, with an obvious waist curvature, and thirty centimeters long, but in the eyes of everyone, it is huge, like a diamond.

Liu Ziqing looked at Li Wenji's pilgrimage-like posture, and knew in his heart that with his own plan, cooperation was almost inseparable.

Huang Xuan was chatting and laughing with his grandfather at this time. Huang Jindi is an old-fashioned person, and he likes the feeling of descendants Chenghuan's knees. He "kicked" the long table out of the living room and replaced it with a red sandalwood The large wooden Eight Immortals table is old furniture from the Guangxu period. It should have been left by Huang Xuan's great-great-grandfather, Huang Jindi's grandfather. It is said that it was a captured spoil. one, leaving two. Later, I realized that it was worth money, so I kept it in the old house. Huang Jindi liked it, so he took it out. Huang Sugui couldn't say anything wrong either.

Huang Jindi made it clear that it was for Huang Xuan, so the two uncles also understood what their father was thinking.

Hou, the waiter invited from the hotel, is on both sides of the hall, ready to serve tea and water at any time. When there are more people in the room, even the tea seems to be drunk quickly. Zhou Li stands behind Huang Jindi and gives him a try. Water temperature, take some small things that are out of reach, while Zhou Lian is in and out of the outside room directing.

Zhang Xinyi led Xiao Diao Meimei in from the main entrance, pulled her to Huang Jindi's side, and said, "Dad, this is Ren Ruochan, my goddaughter."

At this moment, Huang Jindi was less majestic and more tender. Seeing Xiao Diaomei's beautiful eyebrows, which fit his eyes very well, he said, "Okay, okay."

He sat on the big grand teacher's chair, held the handles and asked, "Ruochan, how old is this year?"

Unexpectedly, seeing Huang Jindi asking questions like the elders in his hometown, and also being Huang Xuan's grandfather, Xiao Diao Meimei knelt on both knees, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said: "This year's 16 Years old."

People in the modern age are not used to these three heads, but Huang Jindi felt relieved when he kowtowed. He stood up, pulled up Xiao Diao Meimei himself, and said cheerfully: "Such a beautiful girl, come, sit down." Beside Grandpa."

His thinking can still keep up with the times, but the elderly, especially the retired ones, always need the respect and attention of the children. Xiao Diao Meimei very properly met Huang Jindi's requirements for his children and grandchildren, and he immediately became happy , touched his bosom with his hand, and asked Zhou Li again: "Where is that bracelet of mine?"

"Here it is." Zhou Li hastily handed over the small box in his coat pocket to Huang Jindi. Today is a family banquet. As an elder, he naturally has to bring a lot of small gifts as red envelopes.

"Come on, this is a meeting gift from grandpa." Huang Jindi said as he took out a pair of jade bracelets from the box. The green color was full and delicate, and in the words of experts, it was full of green.

Diao Chan naturally recognized the value of this bracelet. In the Han Dynasty, jade and jadeite were the most important, followed by copper. Wang Yun was a Sima, and his family's wealth was frequent, but such a jadeite full of jade was also rare, but Xiao Diao Meimei did not refuse. He reached out and asked Huang Jindi to put the bracelet on for her.

Yang Li also came over with a smile, and said jokingly: "What a cute little girl, since your grandpa likes it, your aunt will give you a gift as well. Things are not as good as grandpa's, so you can't dislike them."

She took Ruochan's hand, took out the gift she had prepared, and said, "This is a brooch, try it and see if it fits?"

Xiao Diaomei laughed before saying anything, and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

The brooch is made of broken diamonds, with a forked tail and a bright red gemstone on the front end. The polished facets are shining, and it is also very valuable. Although Huang Yanbang eats at the public house, the Yang family has a lot of money, which is obviously prepared by Yang Li himself.

Huang Yanbang would always be a little unhappy if Yang Li gave such an expensive gift on weekdays. But today, one is a family banquet, Xiao Diao Meimei has an obedient appearance, and the other is that she pleases Huang Jindi, and his father even gave him such a heavy gift, and if Yang Li gives him a brooch, he won't What else to say, keep smiling and watch.

Starting with Huang Xuan's aunt, the aunts also took out the gifts they had prepared one after another. Xiao Diaomei walked around and basically got together a whole outfit. Looking at Huang Xuan, she was both happy and envious.

That is one year old, he has such treatment. .
