Chapter 18 Gambling + Cheating = Guaranteed Win
"Comrade police officer, can he sue me for spreading rumors?"
Seeing that the man was intimidated, Zhao Xiaojing continued to increase the bet.
"Yes, but if you are telling the truth, it's not a rumor. You can even sue him for defamation, accusing you of spreading rumors."
"Oh... I see. Shall I continue then?
There are two stalls next to each other at the school gate. One of them has been there for a long time. The owner is..."
"You just want money! I'll give it to you! I accept it, I accept mediation!"
The man shouted anxiously, fearing that another second would be too late.
"Comrade police officer, I demand that the money be settled now." Zhao Xiaojing changed her tone calmly.
"Hmm, hm? What do you mean by settlement? What happened at the school gate?" The policeman who was recording looked confused.
"I said that everyone was setting up stalls together in front of the school, and they all knew each other. They even knew each other's home addresses. Their relationship was incredibly close."
Zhao Xiaojing looked at the man and said with a smile.
The man was shocked again, and his guilty conscience was written all over his face.
The police confirmed again and asked a few questions, and then the mediation went exceptionally smoothly. The scoundrel on the other side not only admitted everything, but also scraped together the compensation after making several phone calls.
"Comrade police officer, if I have any personal safety concerns, this gentleman should be the prime suspect, right?"
Finally, after signing and confirming, Zhao Xiaojing looked at the man and asked the police.
"Of course, we have records here. If you have any personal injuries, the police will check the records immediately."
"Oh...but this gentleman has a good attitude in admitting his mistake. I'm sure he wouldn't make such a mistake. Then I'm afraid the second thing they'll do is check my interpersonal relationships at my workplace, right?"
"Yes." The policeman looked at Zhao Xiaojing with a meaningful smile.
"As expected of a people's police officer, you're always meticulous in your work. Isn't that right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The man smiled fakely and was forced to agree with Zhao Xiaojing.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled again, turned around, got on the tricycle and rode away in style.
"This girl is really good. She looks young, but she does things very flawlessly. She can even handle this kind of scoundrel."
"Yeah, it's not that simple..." At the door, the two policemen shook their heads and watched the backs of both parties walking away.
Zhao Xiaojing felt relieved and finally laughed happily facing the sunset.
I was so lucky today, every step I took was just right.
Fortunately, Li Zhi reminded her. Although it was vague, she vaguely guessed that it meant that the man had an improper relationship with a boss on that street.
The only ones who had an open conflict with her today were the two bosses, both standing at the door. She guessed it was them, so she tried to trick them.
Unexpectedly, the man was so guilty that he showed his weakness as soon as he cheated.
In fact, she didn't know which of the two bosses it was, and it didn't matter. As long as the man opposite believed that she knew, that was enough.
As for what she said about having good connections with the people setting up stalls on that street and even knowing their home addresses, it was purely speculation and a gamble. She bet that the man was afraid that she would go to the woman's family and expose their affairs.
This will make the man mistakenly believe that she knows the truth and has evidence against her, and he will be afraid that she will go to the woman's house and cause trouble, so he dare not touch her.
The final conversation with the police was actually spoken to the man, as a warning and a final measure to ensure her personal safety.
It seemed like she was sure to win step by step, but in fact it was just a few vague words plus gambling and cheating.
As for the one thousand dollars in compensation, it was a lesson for them that would be painful but not to the point of fighting her to the death, and it was also the capital that she would use to repay the customers who supported her today.
I went home and opened the system page. The task progress was 1813/3500. I sold 682 skewers today. Although the process of setting up the stall was bumpy, thanks to the help of the parents, the items were still sold out.
After further calculation, the turnover reached 3,862 yuan, plus the 1,000 yuan compensation, she already had 4,862 yuan in her hands!
Although the money wasn't much, and half of it would be spent tomorrow on purchasing goods, it was unbearable to set new records every day! Zhao Xiaojing was happy for a while.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xiaojing appeared at the poultry wholesale market on time.
To thank the parents for their strong support yesterday, Zhao Xiaojing bought goods worth nearly 3,000 yuan in one go.
Today we only sell chicken legs, duck legs, chicken racks and pork tenderloins. All of them are on sale and discounted.
Anyway, the 1,000 yuan financial support from the troublemaker yesterday is enough to make up for the loss of profit from the discount.
Zhao Xiaojing was in high spirits. This was the first time since her rebirth that she had made purchases without hesitation, and she still had nearly 2,000 yuan in spare money.
After arriving home, she carried the materials upstairs several times and was so hot that her whole body was soaked in sweat.
As soon as I entered the door, I didn't have time to rest. I washed my hands, turned on the fan, put on an apron and started to prepare the ingredients. I put the chicken legs, duck legs and chicken frames in a large steel basin to soak them in blood water.
These are all fresh goods. After soaking for an hour, the blood will basically be removed. Then wash them two or three times to remove the fishy smell.
While the pork tenderloin is soaking in water, cut it into thin slices.
Chicken legs and duck legs are not easy to absorb flavor and are not easy to fry thoroughly, so the surface must be cut, both front and back. Chicken legs need more cuts than duck legs. The cuts should be as deep as possible, but not cut through.
After the marking, it is time for the most important step - marinating. The marinating method and time determine whether the chicken and duck meat is flavorful after frying and whether the saltiness is appropriate.
The recipe provided by the system contains very detailed marinating methods, including the marinating time, the mixing ratio of seasonings, and which seasonings to use and when.
There were even a few spices that were not available on the market. Zhao Xiaojing had to go to a Chinese medicine pharmacy to buy them and then asked the pharmacy to grind them into powder using a machine.
The marinades for chicken legs, chicken racks and duck legs are slightly different, so apply the different marinades evenly on the surface.
The marinating time is also at least one hour, and Zhao Xiaojing continued to thread the cut pork tenderloin onto skewers.
After skewering, it's time to coat the meat with batter. If you want to deep-fry meat well, battering is the second most important thing. The quality of the battering determines the taste after it's out of the pan. A perfect battering will form a protective layer on the surface of the meat, allowing the meat to be crispy on the outside while locking in the juices inside after being subjected to high temperatures, making it tender on the inside while still being crispy on the outside.
Zhao Xiaojing made more skewers today than yesterday. She even had a quick lunch with a few buns. She finally finished preparing before four o'clock and hurried to school.
As soon as I entered the alley, I found that the snack street was a little different today.
There used to be three fried skewers stalls in the alley, and they were all quite simple, but today two of them have been replaced with stall carts and glass cabinets, and one of them even made a huge parasol to shade the stall.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled and was just lamenting that she had single-handedly rectified the quality and hygiene issues of the fried skewers stall when she noticed a few parents running towards her, looking unhappy.
"boss……"
"boss……"
