The hall is spacious and the windows are bright and clean.
‘Zhang You’, one of the five inspectors of the prison, was sitting at the main seat of the solid wood dining table, slowly eating a bowl of scallion noodles.
The aroma of chopped green onion mixes with the sandalwood incense faintly exuding in the simple living room.
Mixed and got into Cui Xun's nostril next to him,
Making him frown slightly.
He glanced at Zhang You who was eating noodles with his head down, and then looked around.
Look at the antiques everywhere in this living room.
"That's a 'large vase with various glazes' from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty - it's an imitation." As if aware of his subordinate's gaze, Zhang You put down the bowl and chopsticks, explained with a smile, and picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth.
The bowl is already empty.
He sat on a Taishi chair next to him, lit a cigarette, and pointed at the tall porcelain vase on the ancient shelf, and then said: "The real thing is in the museum. It will be great if I can get the real thing some time."
…”
Cui Xun did not respond.
Zhang You turned slightly sideways - the Grand Master's chair has a neat shape and is very ornamental, but this kind of chair is not comfortable to sit on. Even Zhang You himself is not used to this chair yet.
He looked sideways at Cui Xun's much thinner face and said: "I originally thought you might not be able to come back - the ghost masters Bai Laogui and Xiao Laogui sent out to team up with you, listen.
Are you saying they’re all dead?”
"Yes." Recalling the fight with Su Wu, Cui Xun was particularly frightened. "The opponent's strength... exceeded predictions."
"He is very capable." Zhang You sighed with emotion, "Did you know? Through Fang Qian and Liuzhou, he directly conveyed a message to the officials - he has a kind of dog in his hand that can search the Ligui area.
The cultivation method!
If this method is confirmed to be true,
You should know what it means, right?"
Cui Xun remained silent.
Zhang You continued as if talking to himself: "The Weird Countermeasures Department has been established for less than a year, and the Weird Prison was only discovered more than half a year ago. It has gradually been used by the Countermeasures Department and has become the core of the Countermeasures Department.
Over the past year,
Strange resurgences are becoming more frequent.
Our methods of dealing with weirdness have not been fundamentally improved.
Something strange has always happened somewhere, and there have been casualties.
The team of Controllers rushed to drive away Li Wei and make up for the situation.
How many casualties ordinary people will suffer from this kind of strange attack depends on whether the strange people are expelled sooner or later.
In recent times,
Because of the focus on responding to the strange events in Mingzhou City,
With the strange resurgence in various places, the countermeasures department has become increasingly difficult to take care of and is stretched thin.
The above are already very dissatisfied with the various handlings of the Countermeasures Department. Coupled with the current strange events in Mingzhou City, this dissatisfaction has reached the critical point-in the past, they pinched their noses and used us people.
They have no choice but us.
But it's different now...
Su Wu came out,
Here comes a way to search for strange traces in advance.
The higher authorities may not abandon the strategy department like worn-out shoes.
But with Su Wu as the center, the possibility of forming another strange response team is already extremely high."
Zhang You said and closed his eyes slightly.
Two streams of smoke spurted out from his nostrils and enveloped his face, making his expression dark and unclear.
Cui Xun looked down at Zhang You and said in a low voice: "What is the attitude of the deputy warden? Inspector Fang and Inspector Liu have confirmed that they will actively contact Su Wu. What should we do?"
Inspector Bai, where is Inspector Xiao?"
"Since Su Wu has released you,
It shows that there is still room for relaxation between us and we can still talk.
Why are we in a hurry?" Zhang You put out half of his cigarette and glanced at Cui Xun.
Cui Xun's heart skipped a beat.
He actually knows very well,
The reason why Su Wu let him back may not be because he had any intention of easing up with his immediate boss. He simply created such an informant and sent himself to find out what was going on in the Weird Prison—the Weird Countermeasures Department.
But Cui Xun would not say such words.
Zhang You continued: "The people who should really be worried are the old ghosts Bai and Xiao!
Next is the Deputy Warden.
They are not like us. At most, their status is threatened.
All of their subordinates died in Su Wu's hands. If Su Wu didn't give an explanation for this matter, the people below would follow their own whims!
The other one - Xiao Zhiren, his own son died at the hands of Su Wu!
Do you think they will swallow their anger?
I guess not.
They will take action before the official arrangements for Su Wu are finalized.
The superiors also wanted to test Su Wu's quality to see if he could withstand their pressure.
So, we just need to watch the show from behind.
We will help whoever wins."
Inspector Zhang stood up and walked slowly into a room next to the living room with a black cloth curtain on the door. Not long after, he walked out of it dragging a wooden box.
Cui Xun helped him put the wooden box on the table,
Open the wooden box,
There are six or seven antiques inside.
A jade pot and spring vase;
A large blue-glazed dish;
One piece of Sixi amphora;
a painting;
An inkstone;
A Japanese samurai sword that is so rusted that the blade and handle are connected together.
"Since you have been in contact with Su Wu, you should deal with him in the future." Zhang You played with several antiques in the wooden box and said to Cui Xun beside him, "Look at Su Wu and Xiao Laogui. Who among them can win?
I think Xiao Laogui and the others have a better chance of winning.
If they win,
Then give these antiques to Su Wu and make a deal with him.
See if he is willing to sell us the method of breeding hunting dogs?
I can offer a higher price separately.
Give him a helping hand and help him tide over the difficulties.
If Su Wu wins,
These things were all given to him for free,
Don’t ask for anything.”
"I understand." Cui Xun picked up the wooden box and nodded in agreement.
…
Cui Xun left Zhang You’s residence carrying the wooden box.
After placing the wooden boxes,
He booked a seat in a restaurant, invited several colleagues he knew well, and had a light meal together at noon.
Until three or four o'clock in the afternoon,
The dinner party just ended.
Cui Xun took out a new mobile phone and sent a message to Su Wu: "It has been confirmed that Inspector Xiao Zhiren and Inspector Bai Helong will each go to Xu Qing with a regional captain tomorrow, and they should come to trouble you.
The possibility of the deputy warden accompanying him cannot be ruled out.
Be careful."
…
Houses in Zhanghe Village are being demolished by construction teams.
The 'Hexiang Instant Noodles Factory' a few kilometers away, with rumbling explosions from time to time, will become a memory of Xu Qing's generation.
On the cleared space,
A row of tin houses were built.
Su Wu, Yun Nishang, Fang Yuan and others gathered together,
They were talking around a few pots and stoves.
"After I made a request to the superiors, they quickly sent this batch of pots and stoves.
These pots and spatulas are very resistant to cracks and corrosion, and their hardness is also very high." Yun Nishang introduced a row of pots and pans on the ground to Su Wu, and when Su Wu nodded repeatedly, she did not respond.
After there is no objection,
She then introduced the stoves next to her: "These stoves are equipped with automatic heating devices, which can..."
"There is no need to pursue sophistication and automation for pots and stoves." Su Wu looked at several pots and stoves and shook his head, "We can't carry such exquisite tools with us at all times to fry squid.
Therefore, the most important ability of a cooker is its durability, which can retain the temperature to the maximum extent and prevent it from overflowing.
Everything else can be omitted.
At the very beginning,
You still have to adapt to the method of building a simple stove anytime and anywhere with just a few stones and iron frames, and frying the pot on the spot.
Only by mastering these skillfully can
Only then will we consider allowing the stove class disciples to use high-tech stoves."
Several members of the Eastern Fifth District behind Ji Hong listened to the conversation between Su Wu and Yun Nichang, and they all had only half-understandings.
They also had a dinner together at Su Wu's house last night.
I can vaguely understand some things about ‘Fried Weird’,
But now I am really immersed in it,
It was still confusing to hear.
Looking at the row of cooking utensils in the open space, several people thought that they would switch careers to cooks.
Su Wu glanced at these confused-looking members of the East Fifth District.
He is not going to personally teach these people the ‘Kitchen God Method’ anymore.
I only plan to teach Ji Hong, Yun Nishang, Fang Yuan, and Shen Hao by myself, and then let them branch out separately. I just want to order them to lead the disciples when they accept disciples.
Just make a commitment in front of yourself.
"Okay, I've written it all down.
Cooks and stoves need to continue to be improved, reducing the number of sophisticated and automated devices, and improving their heat collection, heat conduction, durability and other properties." Yun Nishang nodded in agreement, took out his mobile phone and started writing a memo.
Her brows and eyes were now full of leaping hope,
It looks sunny and very capable.
"Then these pots, spatulas, pottery pots, and various bottles and jars are all qualified.
Can it be used?" Yun Nichang then asked.
"All of these are fine.
No need to send it back." Su Wu nodded.
"Then let's go and see the dogs and puppies sent from various places?
I temporarily placed them in a pig farm in Zhanghe Village.
The pig farm has been cleaned and fully disinfected."
"Go and have a look."
Su Wu nodded.
He felt quite emotional in his heart, consciously relying on the platform and being promoted by the platform, anything could be implemented in a very short time.
This feeling of everything being smoothed out and going smoothly was something I could never experience in the past life of a Kitchen God disciple.
The group then moved to a pig farm in Zhanghe Village.
Shen Hao led 'Fat Tiger', the German shepherd, behind Su Wu, and whispered to Su Wu as he walked: "Fat Tiger is in love, do you want to use those treacherous mastiffs you got?"
Semen... artificially inseminate it?"
Su Wu frowned slightly.
I always feel that what Shen Hao said is strange.
He didn't answer for a while.
Yun Nishang next to her had slightly red cheeks and pursed her lips to suppress a smile.
At this time,
The cell phone in Su Wu's pocket rang several times.
He picked up his phone and saw the message from Cui Xun.
Avoiding the crowd, after clicking on the message and reading it, he replied with a message to the other party: "Can you confirm the specific time those people will come tomorrow?"
Shortly after,
Cui Xun replied: "At about three o'clock in the afternoon, their plane will land at Xu Qing's airport."
