Chapter 35 Su Guangming is my adoptive father
The beef skewers are made from beef tenderloin or shoulder, sliced thinly against the grain and skewered on bamboo sticks. The beef provided by the system is of excellent quality with evenly distributed marbling.
Lamb skewers are made with lamb leg meat, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, cut into small pieces, and marinated in advance with shredded onions and cumin powder to remove the gamey smell, before being skewered.
Chicken skewers are made with diced chicken breast or thigh meat, marinated with specially supplied Orleans seasoning, and then skewered.
For the best flavor, use thinly sliced pork belly with skin on, skewer it, and grill it until the fat is crispy and fragrant.
Chicken knee cartilage, tender and delicious, can be skewered after cleaning.
Squid tentacles skewers: Fresh squid tentacles, cut into sections, and skewered.
Ham sausages and hot dogs are scored with decorative cuts to facilitate flavor absorption and grilling.
Slice the potatoes thinly and skewer them.
Wash the chives and skewer them whole or cut into sections.
Enoki mushrooms are rolled up in bean curd sheets or bacon and skewered.
Cut green bell peppers, red bell peppers, and mushrooms into chunks and skewer them.
Cut the steamed buns into thick slices, skewer them, and bake them until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The dry ingredients are made by mixing roasted and crushed cumin seeds, various mixed chili powders, Sichuan peppercorn powder, crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, salt, sugar, and MSG.
The wet seasoning is made by mixing garlic chili sauce, secret barbecue sauce, cooking oil, and a little Sprite. The Sprite is to make the meat more tender and to add a touch of sweetness.
For this sale, Su Xiaonuan spent money to buy a large number of bamboo skewers, brushes, disposable lunch boxes, gloves, and so on from the mall to prepare for the tough battle ahead.
This is a massive project.
Su Xiaonuan used almost all the space and tools in the food stall kitchen, quickly skewering the food and preparing the sauces.
Thanks to her fourth-level cooking skills and fifth-level physical enhancement, she was extremely efficient, her movements as fluid as flowing water, creating a vibrant scene in the morning light.
After sorting all the prepared ingredients and placing them into the stall's extra-large refrigerated and refrigerated display cases, Su Xiaonuan drove to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
The Municipal Public Security Bureau building was solemn and imposing. Su Xiaonuan had visited several times with her adoptive father when she was a child, so she wasn't nervous.
She parked her car, walked into the lobby, and immediately saw Lu Zheng standing next to the front desk, talking to a female police officer in uniform.
Lu Zheng seemed to catch a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, and immediately stopped talking and turned to look at her.
He whispered something to the policewoman, then strode toward Su Xiaonuan.
"You're here." He nodded slightly to Su Xiaonuan, his expression as serious as ever. "Come with me."
"Okay, okay." Su Xiaonuan blinked and obediently followed.
As she passed the front desk, she inadvertently turned her head and met the gaze of the policewoman from before.
The policewoman's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Zheng's tall, straight back, then at her, her face displaying a barely suppressed yet unmistakable mix of curiosity and excitement.
It was as if I had witnessed something extremely rare.
Su Xiaonuan was a little confused by the stares, but her mind was preoccupied with the phone call, so she didn't think much of it and quickly followed Lu Zheng into a corridor.
Lu Zheng led her into a room that looked like a conversation room or interrogation room. Because it wasn't a formal interrogation room, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
The air conditioning was on in the room, and two people were already waiting there.
A man who looked to be in his thirties, with a neat buzz cut, wheat-colored skin from years of working on the road, strong eyebrows and eyes, and tightly pursed lips, exuded a tough and capable air even in his police uniform. He was leaning against the table with his arms crossed, his sharp eyes sweeping over Su Xiaonuan.
The other one looked much gentler, a bit older, probably around forty, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with slightly long hair tied in a small bun at the back of his head, and had a refined air, like a university professor or an artist. He was dressed casually and sitting in a chair looking through a document.
Seeing them come in, he looked up, adjusted his glasses, and gave them a gentle smile.
Lu Zheng sat down at the table and gestured for Su Xiaonuan to sit in the chair opposite him.
Su Xiaonuan sat down quietly. Perhaps because the chairs in the police station were cold and hard, she moved the chair around a bit after sitting down before placing her hands on her knees. Like an obedient primary school student, her face was full of "curiosity" and "cooperation." Her big eyes couldn't help but dart around, looking at the room and the other two officers.
The gentle-looking police officer spoke first, his voice as mild and polite as his demeanor: "Hello, Su Xiaonuan, right? My name is Xu Zhixian, and this is Officer Zhao Liming."
He pointed to the tough-looking police officer next to him, "Don't be nervous, it's just a routine check. Could you briefly introduce yourself first? Like, how old are you, what does your family do?"
Su Xiaonuan was quite obedient when facing such an authoritative and upright figure.
She answered honestly, "My name is Su Xiaonuan, I'm 24 years old. I live alone, and I make a living by selling snacks at a stall."
As she spoke, she unconsciously picked at the ripped decorations on her jeans with her fingers.
She was very relaxed, without the tension and unease that most people would feel when they are taken to the police station for questioning, as if she were already used to this kind of scene.
Xu Zhixian, Zhao Liming, and Lu Zheng exchanged a knowing glance.
The girl's reaction was too calm, even a little too composed.
Xu Zhixian continued to smile and ask some trivial questions, such as whether setting up a stall was hard work and what she liked to do, in an attempt to put her at ease.
Su Xiaonuan answered all the questions in a good manner.
At this moment, Officer Zhao Liming, who had remained silent with a serious expression, suddenly took the lead. His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable sense of authority, and his questions became sharper: "Ms. Su, you seem quite familiar with this place. Have you been to the police station often before? With whom?"
This is a rather direct question, even a bit offensive.
As Lu Zheng listened, his heart tightened inexplicably, and he couldn't help but look at Su Xiaonuan, wanting to know her reaction.
Su Xiaonuan was taken aback by the sudden change in tone.
She shifted her numb bottom, then felt the air conditioning was a bit too strong. She subconsciously rubbed her arms, looked up, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her eyes were filled with sincere... doubt?
Instead of answering directly, she tilted her head and asked very seriously, "You...don't you know Su Guangming?"
Su Guangming?
The name was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating a storm in the hearts of the three police officers!
Xu Zhixian's gentle smile froze.
Zhao Liming's sharp eyes froze instantly, filled with disbelief.
Lu Zheng sat up abruptly, his pupils contracting as he stared intently at Su Xiaonuan.
Su Guangming! How could they not recognize him!
That was a senior colleague in the bureau who sacrificed his life in the line of duty many years ago and was posthumously awarded a first-class merit!
He is a role model and hero in the hearts of many young police officers!
His photo and story are still displayed on the wall of honor!
