Although Ma Liu sounds very similar to mutton-shabu-shabu, when you actually see it, it is actually quite different. It is estimated that the mutton-boiled meat may have looked like this when it first appeared in another world?
It is a simple ordinary large iron pot with a clay oven underneath. The soup base is white soup made from sheep bones, plus some chopped haggis, and some vegetables that can withstand cooking and add flavor.
Beside the cauldron were plates of mutton slices. It's as thin as paper, and I don't know where I found a chef with such good knife skills.
Not to mention the sauce. It can even be said that there is no sauce. Because the only plate of sesame sauce was obviously bought fresh and was placed in front of Bailang. In front of others, there were only two empty bowls and a pair of chopsticks. One bowl for food and one bowl for wine.
After that, Bailang asked for chili oil, peanut butter, salt and other condiments, and tried to adjust the sesame paste according to his impression. Finally found: ok.
A piece of lamb, dipped in sauce, in your mouth. Finally, "Hmm!" I said with joy from the bottom of my heart. This actually stunned the three people sitting around, including Ma Liu. I wonder if this lamb really tastes so good with dipping sauce?
His heart was itching, but there was still business to do, and Ma Liu didn't care too much about it. Anyway, there was a lot of mutton, and few others could eat it, but he could eat it often. When the time comes, he would just mix the sauce himself like Bai Lang. Besides, there is no dedicated chef. The ingredients are all placed in front of you, so it’s impossible that they can’t prepare them.
"Brother Bai, eat more. If you like this, you will come here more often. I don't dare to say anything else here. You can always have fresh sheep."
"Haha, Ma Liu, the sheep is delicious, but things may not be easy to deal with. I've eaten your drink, so I should talk about the matter, right? Otherwise, you won't be able to eat at ease!"
Ma Liu chuckled. He didn't feel uncomfortable being exposed by Bai Lang so bluntly. On the contrary, he felt that Bai Lang had a "directness" that no one else had. If you have something to say, whether it can be done or not, and at what cost, it is best to go direct, saving time and effort.
"Since Brother Bai is quick to talk to others, I, Ma Liu, won't hide him anymore."
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Ma Liu paused and continued: "Thanks to Brother Bai's guidance, the targeted sisters under my command were saved. Now there is a lot of chaos in this city and every family is in danger. The bastard behind the scenes has already I started to keep an eye on other girls in their fifteenth and sixteenth years. In the past half month, three of them have disappeared. You are a culprit. But if you stay in the house, gather people and have guards, you won't be attacked, at least for now... ..."
Hearing this, Bailang also stopped the flying chopsticks in his hand. His face was as dark as water.
Bailang also knew what Ma Liu was talking about. Even his news must be much faster than Ma Liu's. After all, the street wanderers in the sword shop are the most well-informed people.
The tragic conditions of the three dead people were exactly the same as those of the five sisters who died under Ma Liu. They looked like "leftovers" when they were found. Such evil deeds are heinous and at the same time, I feel extremely horrified. Because the only thing that is certain is that every deceased person was finally taken away by a smelly black smoke.
In fact, anyone with some knowledge will think of the Qi Refiner because of this black smoke. After all, no matter how strong a warrior is, there are traces to follow, and there will be no such weird and cunning methods.
But even those who saw through it, no one pointed it out. When it comes to the evil deeds of Qigong practitioners, the policemen in the Yamen are not enough to watch, even if they include the two sword shops.
The only thing that can be counted on is the actions of the City Lord's Mansion. But at present, it seems that no news has been revealed from the City Lord's Mansion. It's just that they should be pursuing it, but there should be no progress for the time being. Otherwise it won't be silent.
"I know this. You don't want to fight against injustice, do you?"
"Hehe, Brother Bai is joking. How can I, a guy like me who has squeezed all the oil out of my body and barely weighs a few pounds, dare to do that? I just want to ask Brother Bai to help me think of a way to see if I can compromise. I thought of a way to make money for the girl who was locked up and dared not show her face and could not take any business.
Brother Bai has been working on his brain before. See if he can point out the way? "Ma Liu said as he cupped his hands towards Bai Lang.
In Ma Liu's view, dead people, dead people from other families, although they are "criminal and miserable", what does it have to do with him? The worst he could do was to curse a few murderous bastards. But in fact, what he was most concerned about was the "sister" in his hand who was troubled by this incident.
Sister is not an ordinary "living creature". She just needs a place to live and a stutterer. What is needed is not only food and drink but also the word "nurture".
If you eat well, your body will be plump and not skinny, and your skin will be delicate.
The living environment is not bad, heavy physical labor is not allowed, and the most basic daily physical care is needed.
This requires continuous investment for the sister who bought it from Yakou. Otherwise, who would pay? Even if they are really raised as livestock, wouldn’t they eventually become the lowest form of flesh and blood? Wouldn’t they put the cart before the horse?
Even if these investments are spread out, Ma Liu can still afford food and shelter. But the quantity is large after all, and it is even more awkward when there is only expenditure but no income. After a long time, Ma Liu will still suffer a loss?
Moreover, Ma Liusi couldn't think of a safe solution to this matter. He couldn't afford to gamble, if two more sisters died, the death would be a small matter, but the reputation would be a big deal. Once his Ma Liu reputation becomes bad, how will he do business in the future?
Bailang also understood and cursed in his heart. But there was a smile on his face: "Boss Ma's business is so prosperous, and it's not just one business. The sisters will be raised first, and then they will be subsidized by other places. There is no reason to rush for a while, right?"
The implication was that he was making fun of Ma Liu for being stingy.
However, Ma Liu was not annoyed, he just said with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Bai, there is no need to ridicule me, there is nothing I can do about it. No matter what business it is, what you see or what you cannot see are actually all It’s not that I, Ma Liu, can do whatever I want. I have to follow the instructions from above if they don’t say anything or if they say something.
It is mentioned above that the net profit each business needs to make every month must be that much, and it cannot be less than a penny. Not to mention relying on other inputs to fill the hole. "
Ma Liu was not prepared to hide this from Bai Lang. After all, his own weight is very clear to the people in the knife shop. Be more honest and you can make a good impression.
Help a group of pimps squeeze as many poor girls as possible? Bailang couldn't do this kind of thing even if he couldn't survive. It's true that he is the villain of the sword shop, but villains are not willing to do anything and can do it. At least it won't work here in Bailang.
However, Bailang's heart moved and he asked tentatively: "I'm just curious. The best way is to catch the bastard who committed the crime. How can you guard against a thief if you only commit a thousand days of being a thief? And as long as you catch that bastard, it will be enough." It’s settled once and for all.”
"Hey, this is easy to say, but it can't be done! That guy is hiding...Brother Bai! Do you have any ideas?!" Ma Liu reacted quickly, and his eyes widened in surprise. Looking at Bai Lang expectantly.
Bailang was waiting for the other party's words, so he didn't care and said, "You must have fished before, right? Place the bait first, and then wait for the fish to take the bait. If you are worried that it is difficult to catch, just spread the bait first... ..”
"Brother Bai, you mean to lure that guy out? Oh! I understand!"
