Chinese food saves the world

Hao Leti's Chinese restaurant has become a star restaurant in Los Angeles. Although the small restaurant with only ten tables is not narrow, it is hard to find one. After opening reservations, it has attracted a lot of attention in the City of Angels. There are even reservations for diners Scheduled for next month.

But Ms. Heletty, the owner and the only cook, still has no plans to expand the store. The catering industry has always been hard, and the occupancy rate of the ten tables is just right, which can be maintained at a leisurely level.

In order to prevent Hao Leti from closing the store and going home to inherit hundreds of millions of fortunes, the diners of the Chinese restaurant had no choice but to dismiss her proposal to expand the restaurant aggrievedly.

——The owner of the Chinese restaurant is too easy to mess with, and he is so wronged that he is out of shape.

During the lunch hour, Heletty was busy in the back kitchen as usual.

Holding the fresh and tender green prawns in her hands, her fingers first pushed down from the head to the tail with a little force, so that the space between the shrimp meat and the shrimp shell became loose, but the surface mucous membrane of the river prawn was not damaged. Guaranteed freshness to the greatest extent.

Hao Leti unscrewed the head of the shrimp with her left hand, and squeezed the tail of the shrimp with her right hand, and the crystal clear and white shrimp came out of the shell smoothly.

Today she is going to cook a famous Hangzhou dish - Longjing Shrimp.

While she was skilfully peeling shrimp, a rare customer from a Chinese restaurant—the careerist Lex Luthor—entered the kitchen.

His arrival is a bit unreasonable. Only half a month later, the United States will enter the first stage of the presidential election, in order to compete for the nomination of the party's presidential candidate.

For now, Lex Luthor, a young politician, should be busy with public relations campaigns, campaign speeches, meetings with voter representatives, or public debates all over the United States, where he expounds his domestic and foreign policy propositions in a high-profile way to win the trust of voters. Build momentum for election success.

Instead of going to the back kitchen of a Chinese restaurant and watching the chef peel the shrimp shells.

Hao Leti did not stop her movements, "I thought you would never enter this kitchen again in your life, after all, you had some bad memories."

For example, I actually kneeled down once.

The kitchen was filled with the fragrance of new Longjing tea, Lex Luthor looked at her fine white fingers, "The bill is going well."

This time his tone was much more respectful than when he first met Heleti.

The last time Lex came to the Chinese restaurant to threaten and lure Hollett to testify, although the process was not smooth, the ending was undoubtedly good. For example, Hollett finally went to court and helped him send his biggest competitor to the federal prison. .

To Lex's surprise, Hollett didn't ask him for any fame and power, but only hoped that he would promote the "Child Protection Act" so that he would not be defeated in Congress.

I have to admit that this series of events made Lex feel a little respect and respect for this young man.

This is very rare for Lex Luthor. After all, as a wise man with nine levels of intelligence and wealth, Lex always believes that other than himself and the No. 16 President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, other people They are all little ants with mediocre IQs.

But even if he has some rare respect for Hollett, it will not change his mercenary, trying to play with everyone and make the best use of his cold character, "It's against you to be busy in this small kitchen." Foolish squandering of all the wisdom I have, I can offer you a new job."

Hao Leti cooked the shrimps with starch and oil, and the shrimps became more and more rosy and crystal clear. However, she responded flatly to the presidential candidate's words, "Sorry, I'm not interested in assisting your campaign."

Lex Luthor has always been smart and strong, and he can't afford to be too early, such as the decision to invite Hollett to join the campaign team at this moment.

This Asian girl has become one of the most watched young people in the world. Whether it is her life experience that can be called an inspirational Hollywood movie, or her outstanding achievements in theoretical physics, if she joins the campaign team, it will be great for Luthor. Words are like adding wings to a tiger.

And she herself is a young scientist with outstanding intelligence. As a high-tech researcher and genius, Lex will of course appreciate people like Heletty more.

Wearing an expensive suit, he leaned leisurely on the cabinet, his relaxed expression seemed a bit cynical, "What if I promise you to become the youngest White House chief of staff in the United States in five years' time?"

As the highest-ranking official of the US presidential administration, the Chief of Staff of the White House Office is known as "the second most powerful person in Washington". To some extent, he is the prime minister in actual power.

What's more worth mentioning is that most White House chiefs of staff will continue their political careers after leaving office, such as switching to the post of secretary of defense, secretary of state or vice president.

But nine out of ten of the previous chiefs of staff were already professional politicians before taking office, and Holliday is undoubtedly a non-partisan person who has never been involved in politics.

You see, Lex Luthor, who gained the supremacy with wisdom and power, has always been so self-willed-->>

.

But to a certain extent, although the promise of the chief of staff of the White House sounds like nonsense, it becomes extremely credible when placed on Lex Luthor. After all, this ninth-level wise man once used The 10-minute conversation nearly made Superman commit suicide.

Hao Leti cooked shrimps with Longjing tea, and the stove was burning with high heat, but the Longjing shrimps in the pot turned out to be a beautiful jade white color, "Mr. In your election speech, you promised to suspend fossil fuel extraction and increase the budget in the field of science after you are elected. Not only that, but many of your domestic and foreign policy propositions have even succeeded in pleasing different political parties.”

If you exclude Lex Luthor's extreme thinking based on the idea of ​​​​"not my race" and insisting on killing Superman, this extremely intelligent genius is indeed an excellent politician who has only seen in a century——

Intellectual leader, strategic master, proficient in various languages, superior practical ability, and even has a very contagious personality.

Even before he entered the political arena, he was a billionaire more powerful than a member of Congress.

In Metropolitan City, Lex has been involved in most industries, and he even planned to buy a large amount of Gotham City real estate, making the Wayne Group feel like an enemy.

At this moment, Luthor looked at Hollett, who was cooking the shrimp in a calm manner. He was always rational and sensitive, "But you still think my job promise is not credible?"

"No, I think you should use your strength with caution." Hao Leti added the bright green and strong-smelling Longjing tea leaves to the shrimps, and the white and tender shrimps looked more emerald green.

Lex heard her voice, "Power is not sin, arrogance is."

Hollett looked directly into the eyes of the young politician, "Based on your current performance, I don't think you have a stance against Superman. In terms of being able to pose a major threat to the world, an arrogant politician is more powerful than a "powerful man." A superman who could become a dictator "is not necessarily so weak."

No matter what the power is when it is implemented, the President of the United States is indeed recognized as the most powerful person in the world. With Lex Luthor's talent, once he wins the election, it is the most normal thing to be re-elected. He becomes a tyrant. The odds are not inferior to Superman.

Lex frowned slightly, but his tone was not serious, "I was born in a metropolitan slum, and I was bullied almost every day when I was a child, and my father was addicted to alcohol all day long, and beating and scolding me when he was drunk was common. Since then, I swore to be a man of power, and I started the Rex Group while I was at MIT, and I've been there ever since. Holliday, I'm not a three-year-old who just gets power out of thin air."

The reason why Luther has gained so much public support in the United States is largely because he is such a self-made man who has reached the pinnacle of success.

As the third richest person in the United States, he is completely different from the two rich second generations, Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne. He was born in a slum, and he is completely a modern "American Dream".

Therefore, after he devoted himself to politics as a philanthropist, he won extremely strong approval ratings.

Hao Leti put the Longjing shrimp in the pot on a plate, "But you are also arrogant, conceited and eloquent, and you prefer shortcuts in the gray area, and you will do anything to achieve greatness."

These few words are undoubtedly sharp, but Lex didn't mean to be irritated at all. Instead, he approved it, "I am indeed an evil person."

"Mr. Luthor, you are an admirable careerist," Hollett held up the plate, "with a strong heart, but too paranoid."

For example, he has been mistrusting for years and wants to punish Superman.

Perhaps because of his upbringing, Lex Luthor is overly defensive and a dangerous schemer.

"Your lunch," Hollett raised her eyebrows and motioned for the presidential candidate to take the plate. "Paranoia is a sign of weakness. I don't think you need to be afraid of Superman."

Fear is the underlying reason for his series of paranoid behaviors.

Lex looked at the Longjing prawns in his hands. The color of this dish was extremely elegant. The smooth frying of lard made it meaty but not greasy, and it smelled even more delicious.

The dishes are elegant in shape, the shrimps are tender, and the tea leaves are fragrant, light and timeless.

Lex looked into the young girl's eyes, "What do you think I should do?"

Hao Leti shrugged, "I don't know, I'm not your spiritual mentor."

The conversation just now was at best a little thank you for promoting the introduction of the bill. Otherwise, he would always be extreme against Superman and mess around, and he might be defeated by Superman and Batman at some point and locked in Akka. Madhouse.

Wouldn't it be nice to be his billionaire, scientific genius, successful politician?

Lex Luthor blinks—why does it feel like he's been successfully hypnotized again?

Hollett pointed to the door of the kitchen and signaled him to leave, "Mr. Luthor, eat well and don't always think about making trouble."
