The flowers start to carry Zhang Miao's seasonings as soon as they bloom, and this dipping sauce is the most important part.
The seasoning was quickly prepared, and then the meat was cooked. The chicken broth was kept, and the offal was cooked last, but the broth from those was discarded.
Tomorrow morning, Huakai plans to buy a chicken, so that it will taste better when cooked.
After the meat was cooked, potato slices were also boiled. At this time of year, there were no bamboo shoots or lotus roots in the north, so the only options were vegetarian dishes like potato slices or kelp knots.
Once everything is cooked, skewer it. After the chicken broth cools down, mix it with the seasonings in the correct proportions, and then soak the skewers in it.
Looking at the small skewers she had made, Hua Qingyi wasn't too surprised, because his sister had given him so many surprises that he was easily accepting of them.
But Zhang Miao was different. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This looks amazing! I really didn't expect this to look so good. I thought it was just a bunch of meat skewers, but the sauce on top looks so tempting!"
Hua Kai said, "Looking at it is nothing. Once you eat it, you won't be able to stop wanting to eat it every day." Because she loved to eat in her previous life, she often made it.
Zhang Miao looked at the clock on the wall: "Why is time passing so slowly?"
Hua Kai smiled and took out two skewers, giving one to her older brother and one to Zhang Miao: "Try them first. They may not be flavorful enough yet, but give it a feel for it."
Hua Qingyi took a bite and said, "It's a little spicy, but the more I eat, the more I can't stop."
Zhang Miao ate half a skewer and said happily, "This is guaranteed to sell out. It's so delicious. If I eat it once, I'll definitely want to eat it again."
Hua Kai said, "So from now on you'll have to work hard to make money with this. You've memorized all my proportions, right? Write them down. You know I'm busy, so I can't always help you. I'll have my brother make a key for you tomorrow, so you can come by yourself when we're not around."
Zhang Miao nodded: "Okay, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll keep it in mind."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "From now on, I'll have free skewers to eat, and I won't lose money, right? Tomorrow, you need to remember how much the meat and vegetables you bought cost, and how much each skewer costs. You need to keep track of these things yourself."
Zhang Miao nodded: "Understood. All expenses, including seasonings and water and electricity bills, must be included."
“Not bad, you have a good business sense. I won’t interfere with you anymore. You can study it yourself. My brother and I still need to discuss the design drawings. We’ll go out for some skewers later.” Hua Kai handed the kitchen over to Zhang Miao, and then went inside with Hua Qingyi. She wanted Zhang Miao to calmly calculate the prices of these things, as Hua Kai couldn’t do all of them for her.
Hua Kai and Zhang Miao didn't leave their rented apartment until just before evening self-study session to go back to school.
I hadn't gone far when a primary school student came over and said there was a big sister in the alley ahead, and he wanted to say a few words to her.
Hua Kai could only think of a few girls, so she wasn't worried. She told Zhang Miao to go back to school first and settle the accounts, while she went with the elementary school student.
Upon entering the alley, I saw Zhou Xinrui standing opposite me with two men.
Zhou Xinrui crossed her arms: "Hua Kai, aren't you so powerful? I've put up with you for so long, but today I'll show you that you can't afford to offend just anyone."
Hua Kai looked at the two men next to Zhou Xinrui. They were probably thugs, but the two of them were no match for her. In her previous life, she could fight against four or five men by herself.
She wasn't nervous at all: "Zhou Xinrui, you still underestimate me. Today, I'll take care of you too."
Zhou Xinrui sneered: "Lu Xue is right. We really need to be prepared to deal with you. Look behind you before you talk big."
Hua Kai sensed the pressure coming from behind. Turning around, she saw two more men. There were four of them, which was still manageable, but she needed to be careful.
She saw a meter-long stick by the wall and some bricks not far away; these were useful weapons for a while.
After surveying the surroundings, she said to Zhou Xinrui, "Did Lu Xue send you? Does this person belong to Lu Xue or you? Zhou Xinrui, you should know the consequences of today's events. Lu Xue didn't come. If something goes wrong, she can deny it. Think about the consequences yourself."
Zhou Xinrui's expression turned serious.
A man next to her said, "There's no one else here. Let's leave after we're done fighting. We'll go to the provincial capital tomorrow and come back when things have calmed down. She's all alone, who will testify for her? As long as you don't admit it, that's fine."
Zhou Xinrui regained her confidence after hearing what the man said: "Yes, go for it, just don't kill them."
The man walked towards Hua Kai and said, "You're quite pretty, but unfortunately I'm paid to do this job. That's my line of work, my livelihood. There's nothing I can do about it." As he spoke, he reached out and slapped Hua Kai across the face. When he received the money, his employer had emphasized that he should always slap her in the face.
Hua Kai subtly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack, then turned and delivered a flying kick to the man's chest.
The man hadn't expected Hua Kai to be so skilled; he was completely unprepared, and the kick sent him staggering back four or five steps before he stopped.
He stopped, his face turning serious, and said to the other men, "Come at her together, this chick is no ordinary girl."
The other three also rushed over towards the blooming flowers.
As the flower blooms, I bend down and pick up a stick from the wall; having a weapon makes me feel safer.
Her every move was quick, accurate, and steady, because her physical strength was inferior to her opponent's, so she relied on skill.
Seizing the opportunity, she struck the leader's kneecap with a stick, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.
The three men also revealed their ferocity. One of them drew a dagger and stabbed at Hua Kai's chest.
At that moment, a large hand landed on Hua Kai's shoulder, pulling her into its embrace and dodging the blade. Then, a kick landed on the man with the dagger's jaw, and several teeth flew out of his mouth.
"Ye Yifan, what brings you here?" Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan, who was hugging her, and her face immediately showed an undisguised smile.
Ye Yifan stood firm and looked at the blooming flowers: "I came back and wanted to come see you, but I didn't expect you to be in danger. You stay here, I'll take care of these two people."
Hua Kai said, "It's been a long time since we've had an event together, let's go together."
Ye Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it together."
The two men quickly subdued all four men, drawing blood from them.
At this moment, Zhou Xinrui was stunned and stood there motionless. She just came to her senses and turned to run away.
Hua Kai pulled her back and slapped her face six times in a row: "Want to leave? No way. This isn't over yet."
Zhou Xinrui was seeing stars from Hua Kai's fan; she didn't hear what Hua Kai said at all because she was already experiencing tinnitus.
Ye Yifan walked up to Hua Kai and asked, "Do you want to settle this privately or publicly?"
