Aromatic Tibetan Mastiff Meat

  The floors of the Xiyuan Hotel were not high, no more than five stories. Liu Ziguo suddenly raised his head as if he had grown eyes on top of his head and smiled at Li Ni on the fourth floor with a mouthful of clean and tidy white teeth that looked very good.

  "Early!" Liu Ziguang shouted, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a white towel.

  "Early," said Li Niang with a smile.

  Went up to the second floor restaurant, colleagues were having a buffet breakfast, 70 or 80 people lined up to get food, among them 50 or 60 were security guards under Liu Ziguang, and the project team members were in the minority.

  Seeing the big boss coming in, the security guards quickly cleared a path and shouted in unison: "Hello Director Liu."

  Liu Ziguang smiled and greeted everyone, took a tray from the service counter by the door and said: "Don't just stand there, continue." This demeanor was almost as good as that of the group's old president.

  Director Yin and Cao Dahua were also having breakfast in the restaurant, seeing this scene they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, but what can they do? The other party has made great contributions, even if he puts on airs, so be it. When they return to Jiangbei City, who knows what high-ranking position will be waiting for him? At that time, he will truly be in a prosperous and flourishing situation.

  Liu Ziguang had a breakfast, looking for an empty seat in the restaurant, after a circle, he still walked to Wei Zixuan with his plate and sat down.

  Today, Wei's assistant seemed a bit off, with two eyes swollen like peaches and a poor complexion. As soon as Liu Ziguang sat down, she pushed the dinner plate away, not eating anymore, stood up and left, her high heels clicking on the marble floor, making an unusually crisp sound in the silent dining hall.

  Liu Ziguang was the focus of everyone's attention, he took the initiative to sit opposite Assistant Wei, while Assistant Wei was so unwilling to give face, didn't even eat and left, this is also too...

  Those project group's little MM immediately started whispering and gossiping, while glancing at Liu Ziguang. Now this unremarkable little security guard has become the idol of these little MM. If Wei Assistant had rejected Liu Ziguang's pursuit, it would have been a great blessing for them.

  Wei Zi Xuan came out of the restaurant and ran into Li Niang. General Manager Li was surprised to see that his assistant's expression was not quite right, her two eyes were obviously tear-stained. Just as she wanted to ask a question, Wei Zi Xuan hastily went upstairs.

  Li Yan entered the dining hall, and the previously lively scene immediately subsided. Everyone quietly ate their meal, no one daring to say another word. Li Yan ordered food and naturally sat down beside Liu Ziguang.

  "Just now Director Song called me and it seems that Long Shaoping has withdrawn from the bidding. Do you know about this?" Li Ni asked.

  "What? Long Shao has quit, I really didn't know." Liu Ziguang said calmly, and what he said was also the truth. Last night, he took Bei Xiaoshuai and Ma Chao to sneak into Long Shao's villa, killed one Tibetan mastiff alive, and stunned another one, then climbed up to the second floor, opened the window and put the dog's head into Long Shao's quilt, doing these things just to intimidate Long Shao a bit, as for the effect, Liu Ziguang was not clear either.

  Long Shao's family background is deep, and it's easy to move him, which will definitely bring disaster. Liu Ziguang has parents, how can he lose everything because of a small matter? According to his previous temper, he would have chopped Long Shao into eight pieces long ago.

  Won't calm down Long Shao, this breath can't be swallowed, the project team is also stiff here, so Liu Ziguang chose the method of Godfather Collie, first give Long Shao a warning, and slaughter his fierce Tibetan mastiff worth millions, then it's Long Shao's turn.

  These things were all done by Liu Ziguang himself, Ma Chao and Bei Xiaoshuai were watching from below, when killing the Tibetan Mastiff, Liu Ziguang was still worried, this kind of beast is notorious for its ferocity, said to be even more fierce than a lion, but in fact it's also largely exaggerated, just a stupid, rough, clumsy, low-intelligence semi-domesticated Tibetan Plateau dog. One axe blow and it fell, when splitting the Tibetan Mastiff's head, splashing dog blood all over was quite troublesome, but Ma Chao has already taken it away to burn, should be no problem.

  Seeing Liu Ziguang pretending to be stupid, Li Ni didn't say anything, but she had already understood in her heart that it was definitely Liu Ziguang who made the move. At this time, she had already secretly made up her mind to transfer Liu Ziguang back to headquarters as a security manager after returning, and let him set his own monthly salary.

  Suddenly, Liu Ziguang's phone rang. He took out his phone and pressed the answer button. On the other end was Bei Xiaoshuai's voice: "Brother, something unexpected happened. Long Shao has been arrested by the police. It's about what happened this morning. I just came over to check on the situation and heard it from these neighbors."

  "Alright, got it." Liu Ziguang hung up the phone, his expression unchanged. Li Yan had already heard the conversation and was even more convinced of her judgment. The man in front of her was truly amazing, no matter what problem arose, there was nothing he couldn't solve.

  ……

  Long Shao's villa community, Bei Xiao-shuai was sitting in the car by the road observing the situation, this is what Liu Zi-guang handed over, to see Long Shao's reaction, but the news that came back was that Long Shao had already been taken away, and Bei Xiao-shuai was also puzzled.

  A group of police officers were still going in and out of Long Shao's house, searching for evidence and whatnot. They had orders from above to definitely find evidence that Long Shao was involved with the underworld. A simple charge of intentional injury wasn't enough; they had to make it an ironclad case so he could never turn his life around again.

  A Tibetan Mastiff worth millions was mysteriously beheaded, and the police were also baffled. However, this had nothing to do with them and was not within their investigative scope. Their target was the hidden guns, lethal weapons, drugs, and cash in Long Shao's house.

  When the police came to catch Long Shao in the morning, they encountered another Tibetan mastiff that went mad and attacked its owner. Fortunately, it was shot dead by a SWAT team with an automatic rifle. The police suspected that the Tibetan mastiff might have contracted rabies, so there was no need to inspect the two dog corpses. They spent 50 yuan to find two migrant workers on the side of the road and asked them to drag the Tibetan mastiff's body out of the city to dig a hole and bury it.

  ……

  Xiyuan Hotel, the fleet of Zhicheng Company is ready to depart. This time Liu Ziguo is sitting in the front of the land cruiser commanding, Wang Zhijun brought six brothers and sat in GL8 as a backup, Li Ni was really afraid of Longyang City's underworld this time, bringing twenty security guards over, Dragon Young fell, it's inevitable that there will be Tiger Young, Leopard Young and others jumping out, must prevent them beforehand.

  The fleet set off with a flourish, and on the way from Xiyuan Hotel to the Tendering Center, they happened to pass by the villa area where Long Shao's family lived. Liu Ziguang sat in the vice driver's seat of the Land Rover, his eagle-like eyes scanning the situation ahead, when suddenly a flatbed truck on the side of the road caught his attention.

  Two migrant workers were pulling a flatbed cart in a hurry, on which two dead animals with black and yellow fur and enormous bodies were placed. Weren't they the precious Tibetan mastiffs of the Long family?

  "Stop the car." Liu Ziguang said.

  Lu Xun slammed on the brakes and stopped by the side of the road, and the cars behind him also came to a halt. Everyone was puzzled as Liu Ziguang jumped out of the car and walked over to the side of the road, where he intercepted two migrant workers and haggled with them for a while. He then pulled out two red 100-yuan bills, and the two workers were overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear as they carried the two dead Tibetan mastiffs to the trunk of Lu Xun's car.

  Liu Ziguang got on the car, ordered the driver to start the car, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Turn back and change flavors for everyone, eat braised dog meat!"

  A burst of excitement in the intercom.

  ……

  Without Long Shao's interference, the bidding process went unusually smoothly. The schemes of Jiangbei Zhicheng and Pingchuan Jia Garden were equally matched, and their financial strengths were also similar. Now it just depends on whose price is higher.

  Just before noon, official news came that Long Shaoping, chairman of Shenzhou Real Estate, was suspected of intentional injury, private storage of guns and ammunition, and organizing underworld activities, and had been detained for criminal detention in accordance with the law. What awaits him is severe punishment by law!

  After hearing the news, Hirakawa Hiroshi was the first to react, sending someone to buy a string of 5,000 firecrackers, which were set off with a loud bang at the entrance of the bidding center, filling the air with red paper scraps and the smell of gunpowder, making it look exceptionally festive.

  Li Niang was also delighted in her heart. Long Shao had finally been knocked down, and this time it seemed that he couldn't get back up. Without his obstruction, the project would definitely go much more smoothly.

  "Director Li, should we say something?" Wei Zixuan asked softly. At this time, Assistant Wei had returned to normal and still wore the expression of a cold assistant.

  "It's all right, but let's just fire the cannon and have someone order a silk banner to be sent to the Public Security Bureau with the four characters 'for the people to eliminate harm' written on it," said Li Niang.

  ……

  The bidding work is still ongoing, but the following are all colleagues' work in the project group, and it has nothing to do with Liu Ziguo. With nothing to do, Liu Ziguo sent someone to buy a huge iron pot and various seasonings at the market, drove back to the hotel, found an empty space nearby, and prepared for a picnic.

  Xiyuan Hotel is located at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain in the western suburbs, with mountains and water, beautiful scenery. Everyone found a grassland by the river, parked the off-road vehicle by the river, found a tree fork to hang the Tibetan mastiff, and started skinning it. Others picked up stones and bricks to build a simple stove.

  A young man wearing a red velvet jacket held a sharp blade and with one swift slash, he cut open the Tibetan mastiff's belly. Liu Ziguang was startled and quickly reminded him: "Be careful, I still want to make it into a specimen and put it in my house as an ornament."

  The young man grinned: "Don't worry, Liu Ge, I used to kill dogs at home, I'm good at this."

  "Where are you from?" Liu Ziguang asked.

  "I'm from Pei County, my family has passed down the traditional craft of making Huajiang dog meat, I didn't have time today, but tomorrow I'll bring some old broth from home to cook the dog meat, it's absolutely delicious! That's the old broth that's been passed down since Liu Bang's time, over a thousand years and the fire has never gone out."

  "Alright! I'll leave this pot of dog meat for you to stew."

  Green hills and clear water, birds singing and flowers fragrant. The brothers gathered a large pile of dry firewood under the stove, burning a fierce fire. Several large buckets of pure water were poured in, and the pot started to boil. Large chunks of Tibetan mastiff meat were first scalded with boiling water to remove the bloody smell, then hot oil was added to the pot, and ginger slices were stir-fried until fragrant. The dog meat was then added, followed by packages of star anise, fennel seeds, cinnamon sticks, cassia bark, and Sichuan peppercorns, as well as bottles of Shaoxing wine and large pieces of ginger. The stewing of the meat began.

  Some brothers were fishing by the small river, while others sat together playing poker, carefree and at ease. On the other side, a large iron pot was stewing fragrant meat. As the saying goes, "Dog meat rolls once, gods can't sit still." The aromatic flavor wafted along with the wind, drifting by the small river, making people forget all their worries and troubles.

  Wang Zhijun suddenly threw the card in his hand, looked up at the sky and sighed: "Liu Ge, if it could be like this every day, how great would that be."

  Liu Ziguang said: "As long as brothers work hard, every day is a comfortable and easy life, it's not difficult."

  Wang Zhijun said: "But after going back you will definitely go to the group headquarters as an official, and it will be hard to see you again."
