"Old Three, hurry up! I think I've been electrocuted. This vehicle is a bit cursed, feels like there's a leakage on the floor!"
"Don't panic, I'll get a wooden block."
Old Three found two wooden blocks and tossed them at the entrance of the food truck, then stepped on them to get inside.
"Old Four, this is insane! Even standing on wooden blocks, we can get electrocuted! Don't come in, use a rope to pull us out!"
Old Four could see the situation was off. Where the heck was he supposed to find a rope?
Old Four took off his shirt, grabbed one of the sleeves, and tossed it inside. Old Three strengthened his legs, used his arm strength, and was pulled out by the sleeve.
Then it was Yang Zhou and Shao Hailong's turn; they were all pulled out.
Old Four watched as his three brothers lay paralyzed on the ground, "What the hell happened?"
Shao Hailong was dumbfounded, "I don't know, suddenly my legs went numb. Hurry up, they're coming back! Help me up."
Old Five said, "Don't panic, we've waited so long, we can't not have this meat!"
He didn't get inside the vehicle. Instead, he stood outside, "Old Four, Old Six, lend me a hand. Give me a lift."
The food truck was quite high. It was difficult to get the dishes out through the window from the ground.
Old Four and Old Six squatted down to create a human step, while Old Five stepped onto their thighs. They used this method frequently when facing high courtyard walls; it was their way over.
Old Five reached his arms into the food truck. Even with gloves on, he was unafraid of the heat. He was about to reach the dish.
"Bang bang bang..."
The three of them fell simultaneously.
"This isn't..."
"Is it electric-shock from a distance?"
"What the hell do you mean? Is there electricity on the ground?"
The six of them sat in a row, leaning against the food truck. Xiao Juzi squatted on the ground, licking the lamb bone, "Ha!!!"
...
"The opposing gang is committing crimes, they're repeat offenders. Be cautious; they might have weapons on them!" Liu Yang said this, but he actually didn't have any weapons.
The backup officers held police batons, moving slowly along the wall. The closer they got to the Cultural Square, the more cautious they became.
The next turn would lead them to the Cultural Square. Liu Yang raised his hand to signal them to stop moving, then made several sequential gestures that only insiders could understand.
The meaning was: I'll pretend to approach from the front, then you surround them from the sides to take them by surprise!
The backup team members nodded one after another.
Liu Yang tidied his clothes and walked out of the corner ostentatiously. When he saw it, he was stunned.
What were those six people lying on the ground doing?
Shao Hailong saw someone coming and, realizing it was the customer who had been waiting to eat the lamb, immediately shouted, "Help us, please! Bro, give us a hand; we all got electrocuted!"
Yang Zhou also shouted, "Yes, we suddenly got electrocuted. Please save us."
Could it be a trap set by the opponents?
Liu Yang continued walking forward, maintaining full vigilance, and reached the six people, "What are you guys doing?"
The six lay promptly on the ground. Initially, their arms could move, but now they were completely immobilized.
How could electrocution be continuous like this?
Liu Yang picked up a stick from the ground and poked Shao Hailong. It seemed he really couldn't move. It didn't look like they were pretending.
This...
Then he took out his phone, "Come on over; something seems to have happened."
The backup team rushed in. Shao Hailong and the others saw people in police uniforms rushing in; they were dumbfounded. Where did all these cops come from?
"Ah, ah, ooh ooh ah!"
He opened his mouth to speak but realized...
"What the hell are they jabbering about? What's going on here?" the backup team leader asked.
Liu Yang was puzzled too, "I don't know. When I got here, these six were already lying down, and now they can't even speak... Oh, is that drooling?"
"That one over there is rolling his eyes!"
"Look, that one wet his pants!"
"Should we call an ambulance?"
Liu Yang waved his hand, "No rush. Could it be food poisoning?"
That couldn't be it either; he ate the same noodles, and he was fine. Was the lamb tainted?
But when he looked up, the lamb was still simmering under the lid.
Strange.
Liu Yang called Chen Mo. Boss Xiao Chen quickly returned to the scene. Seeing the six people lying on the floor, he was also puzzled and wondered to himself.
"So this is some kind of minor punishment?"
[You can mess with money but not the dishes!]
"Next time, don't touch my money either."
[...]
Liu Yang pointed at the vehicle, "Boss Xiao Chen, can you check if anything is missing?"
Chen Mo climbed into the food truck, opened the cabinet, and casually rummaged through it, "Three thousand were stolen! Fifteen hundred were the advance payments from you guys, and the other portion was all small change, even a few Yuan bills!"
Liu Yang had long grasped the threads of this gang, squatting down to search Shao Hailong's pockets directly.
To find ten thousand Yuan first.
"Ah, that's my money!" Yu Hui charged forward with a knife he brought from home, scaring Shao Hailong into repeatedly yelling.
Liu Yang reached out to stop Old Yu, "That's not necessary; you can put the knife down first."
"Oh!" Yu Hui put down the knife, "I realized money was missing when I got home. I told you guys, ten thousand were missing!"
Liu Yang nodded, "But I can't give it to you just yet. You'll need to come back with us for a report later."
Because there's no immediate proof that it's Old Yu's money, cooperation during the report is needed for it to be returned.
Then he continued searching.
In another pocket, sure enough, he found a handful of money!
Liu Yang looked at the fifty cents, the ones, the fives, "Boss Xiao Chen, how come you have so much small change?"
Chen Mo took the money, "They dare to steal this? These are the Merit Money I got at the temple in Jingzhou!"
Hiss!
Yu Hui fiercely pointed at the six people on the ground, "It must be Buddha who intervened because he couldn't stand them anymore!"
This explanation sounded somewhat reasonable.
Liu Yang also stated, "Boss Xiao Chen, maybe you should come for the report too."
"No need."
Liu Yang asked, "Why not?"
"I have surveillance on the vehicle. Even when it's off, it can monitor. Let me get the memory card for you."
Chen Mo climbed in and pulled out the memory card, "Here, my surveillance system monitors around the food truck, including inside it."
The backup team leader pulled a small device from his pocket. After inserting the memory card into it, he plugged the other end into a phone to play the video.
They watched it from start to finish.
They saw Shao Hailong first steal the money from the cabinet, then go for the meat.
"Damn, these six aren't even human! They wanted to steal meat while we were gone!"
"Why did they suddenly fall over? Is this like Grandpa, help from afar?"
"And this is supposed to be a crime gang? What intelligence?"
"It is indeed a bit strange, almost like it was Buddha's will..."
The reason why the six suddenly fell remains a mystery, temporarily chalked up by Liu Yang as food poisoning or something.
The main point is not this; the point is that they managed to apprehend a long-established crime gang without a scratch!
The team leader loaded the six into the van they came in, glancing at the lamb simmering on the food truck, copied the video from the memory card, and returned it to Chen Mo before leaving.
Liu Yang and Wang Zhifeng were quite reluctant because they still hadn't tasted the meat.
Dunzi returned to the vehicle after witnessing the entire process.
"Damn, I knew from the start those guys weren't up to any good. Luckily I snagged their meal which held them up!"
LuLu rolled her eyes at him, "Come on, if it weren't for Boss Xiao Chen, you'd still be hiding in the truck not daring to come out."
"Who doesn't dare come out!" Dunzi's confidence was high, a stark contrast from earlier.
Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, returning to the truck.
The progress bar had already slipped past the best timing, meaning the lamb had been simmering for quite a while.
He reached out to take down the dish, noticing that the previously intact slices were now almost meltingly tender.
Ordinarily, the final thickening process of braised dishes is what ties the dish together, but with green onion braised lamb, it isn't needed. A perfect dish sees the lamb broth merging with the meat such that the broth itself thickens.
Besides, because of the extended simmering, there was no need to continue braising. Chen Mo used a black spoon to scoop out the tender slices. Using the spoon felt natural, and the meat was easily placed neatly on the plate.
He then took the thickened, slightly golden lamb broth and poured it over the meat slices.
Finally, he placed the large scallions that had been simmered in the broth evenly over the lamb slices.
Green Onion Braised Lamb, complete!
