Chapter 183: April Spring Breeze Like Scissors (Second Shift Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Quan and Xun said thoughtfully, "My family still has a little surplus food, so don't worry about it for the time being. But the situation you said should also be taken seriously, and you can't wait until there is only the last grain of Yutai Mitian left, and then you can't rush to find a food source."
He was cultivated by the patriarch of the ruling clan since he was a child, and his understanding of people's livelihood is deeper than that of Zong Ruoan.
The two discussed the price of Mulan City, population distribution, human-like management, and the development of the Punishment Division after the Fan family, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Yun Nu Luo came in with a suitcase of Quan and Xun.
"Chief Kwon, here's your suitcase, and this can of coffee." Yun Nuluo put the can of coffee on the low mahogany coffee table.
Then he said to Zong Ruoan, "Zong Shao, there are still a few food deliverers at the door, saying that you ordered the New Year's package from the Mulan City Hengxin Hotel?"
Zong Ruoan looked at the time and said with a smile, "It's actually time for lunch, and sure enough, talking to a good friend, time flies."
He stood up, "Come, it's a lot of people today, let's eat together."
He went to the door first, let the man who delivered the food in, and told them to set the plates.
After the people who delivered the food left, Kwon and Xun, Yun Nuluo, and Zong Ruoan sat down at the long log table in the restaurant.
"These dishes look good, they are full of color, flavor and flavor." Yun Nuluo put on a napkin for herself, picked up a knife and fork, and began to cut the pan-fried unicorn beef.
She took a bite and was amazed: "This beef is really smooth and tender, worthy of the origin of unicorns, only here can you eat such fresh unicorn beef!"
Quan and Xun only took one bite and put it down.
Zong Ruoan tasted it and felt that it was just normal.
He poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and said, "This beef is so-so, I've ever eaten better unicorn beef, compared to that one, this is a fake steak, or the lowest quality."
Although Zong Ruoan belittled the dishes that Yun Nuluo had praised just now as useless, Yun Nuluo did not feel offended, on the contrary, she still appreciated Zong Ruoan's truth.
"Really? Zong's chef is so powerful?" Yun Nuluo's first reaction was that it must have been made by the chef of the Zong family.
Many aristocrats have their own chefs and their own food culture.
Yun Nuluo has also seen particularly powerful chefs in the Quan family, and the steaks they make, of course, are better than this, but ordinary people can rarely eat them.
For people below the four nobles, it is already very rare to achieve this level of steak.
Yun Nuluo couldn't imagine how much better it could have been.
Zong Ruoan smiled and said, "It's not my chef, if my chef can make that kind of taste, I take him with me wherever I go."
"Oh? Who's that? Is it in Magnolia City?" Yun Nuluo was interested, looked at Quan and Xun, and said happily, "I don't know which hotel it is? Chief Quan, we can try it when we have time."
Zong Ruoan had no choice but to say, "It's not the chef of the restaurant, it's a friend of mine...... 's elders, make a good dish."
"That's a shame." Quan and Xun said politely.
In fact, Quan and Xun don't care too much about the blessing of the tongue, although his mouth is very tricky, but he won't let people know what he likes to eat the most, so he usually eats everything, as long as it's healthy, and the food made by his own people.
Since Zong Ruoan said that the person was not a professional chef, he didn't care even more.
Yun Nuluo rolled her eyes and said earnestly, "Our Chief Quan has not had a good appetite recently, I don't know if we can find a way to let us taste the supreme delicacy that even Zong Shao praised?"
In fact, Zong Ruoan also saw that Quan and Xun only ate one bite of the fried unicorn beef, then put it down and kept drinking.
He thought about it and thought it would be a good opportunity.
Xia Chujian's social status is too low, if she can create some opportunities and have a little relationship with the upper echelons of the empire, her family's life will be better.
That summer first saw Fan Chengcai
The beating of his subordinates and the elevator incident really impressed Zong Ruoan, and he really realized what the livelihood of the people at the bottom was like.
So he didn't mind letting Xia Chujian borrow his identity and power.
This time, if you can let Quan and Xun admit their feelings, it will also be a good thing for the helpless aunt and nephew.
Zong Ruoan squinted his eyes and said, "I'll try, it's the New Year, my friend is on vacation at home, if it's not too troublesome, I'll ask her for a favor."
Quan and Xun are also human spirits, and he is also idle when he is idle, he originally came for another purpose, and there is nothing wrong with seeing the lives of the locals.
He said with understanding, "If you can taste the supreme delicacy that even Zong Shao praised, I will definitely accept your friend's favor."
Zong Ruoan got permission from Quan and Xun before sending an invitation to Xia Chujian for a video call.
At this time of summer, not long after returning home, lying on the leisure couch under the window, playing games with his legs crossed.
Wufu and Sixi met and played with toys in the place where she had spread a thick velvet blanket in front of her sofa.
Seeing Zong Ruoan's video invitation, Xia Chujian didn't think much about it, switched directly from the game interface, and clicked through.
Zong Ruoan's face, which was more beautiful than a woman, quickly appeared on the virtual display screen in front of him.
Zong Ruoan: "First meeting, is your aunt convenient today? I have a friend visiting me from Zang Ge Xing, and I want him to taste the best meal in the whole of Gui Yuanxing."
See you at the beginning of summer: .......
What's going on?
Her aunt cooks deliciously, so does she have to cook for irrelevant people during the New Year?
Is her aunt a cook, or a subordinate?
Besides, my aunt has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body has not fully recovered yet, how can she be willing to let her aunt work all the time?
Xia Chujian was really unhappy in his heart, but he knew that Zong Ruo'an was a person, so he might not really think of them as subordinates, but they were used to being high-ranking and powerful, and there were some people who didn't think about it for a while.
It's not good to refuse directly, after all, Zong Ruoan still helped her a lot, and her impression of him is generally quite good.
It's just that she didn't expect this operation today.
Fortunately, I was able to hold it when I saw it for the first time in the summer, and I didn't show it in the face.
She thought quickly, that Quan and Xun and Yun Nuluo had just gone to visit Zong Ruoan's house, and Zong Ruoan made this kind of request, which was probably to entertain Quan and Xun and Yun Nuluo......
The right to entertain has nothing to do with training, because of yesterday's battle, Xia Chujian's impression of him changed, especially when he was able to lend her the king of the gun generously, and it made Xia Chujian add the label of "generous" to him.
She rolled her eyes and smiled slyly, "It is an honor for me and my aunt to be so praised by Colonel Zong. It's just that my aunt hasn't been in good health lately, so she probably doesn't have the energy to cook a big meal."
Hearing Xia Chujian say this, and he got carried away for a while, and directly opened a video call in front of Quan Hexun and Yun Nuluo, Zong Ruoan's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant.
He wasn't angry with Xia Chujian, but he didn't expect that his request would be rejected at all.
But then, Xia Chujian said sadly, "If Colonel Zong doesn't dislike it, I can cook. It's not as good as my aunt, but it's better than the average cook. It's just that Colonel Zong's friend must be a nobleman, if you can't see the craftsmanship of me, a low-level civilian, won't it make Colonel Zong embarrassed? - Then I can't get rid of the guilt of a hundred deaths......
After refusing, he said that he could serve himself, and finally saved Zong Ruoan's face.
Zong Ruoan's mood suddenly improved, and he said with a smile: "Yes, your aunt has been hospitalized for three years, and she has only recently recovered and been discharged from the hospital, and she is still in the recovery period, so I didn't think it through, don't worry about it."
As they spoke, Quan and Xun's eyes flashed slightly.
He heard the voice first, and then turned his head to change the angle, and he could see the picture of Zong Ruoan's video call.
Sure enough, it was the first time I saw you in the summer.
It was her.
Exactly like what he saw in those audiovisual materials.
He was impressed by the distinctive birthmark on her forehead.
I also remember her fierce record.
Especially yesterday morning's heroic life-and-death struggle was an accident in the unexpected.
It's a pity that until yesterday when he left Huo Yushen's fighter, Xia Chujian was wearing her big mask.
Now I can see it from the video call, and it looks exactly like in the audio-visual materials.
However, he didn't expect that this woman would be so familiar with Zong Ruoan.
Quan and Xun know Zong Ruoan, because he has been more beautiful than a woman since he was a child, and he has a prominent family background, from childhood to adulthood, he doesn't know how many noble daughters surround him, but he never pretends to be a person, and has always kept a certain distance from people whose identity is not as good as himself.
Only to those noble ladies of the real worldly and powerful families, he is as close as a friend.
And the girlfriends he has dated are also from the lowest marquises.
Even the women of the earl's family are not qualified to be the women by Zong Ruoan's side.
He had never seen Zong Ruo'an have such a peaceful mode of interaction with a woman who was not of their class.
Quan and Xun are more interested.
He walked up behind Zong Ruoan and smiled at the girl with a sly expression on the virtual display, "I believe that food is in the people, and I hope to have this honor to be able to taste this lady's craftsmanship."
First Summer: "!!"
What does it mean when this right and discipline talk like this?!
She was sure he should have heard her in the elevator, and now was it time to determine what she looked like?
Xia Chujian resisted the urge to put a human face hood on his head, and blinked in surprise: "Colonel Zong, who is this? Is that the friend you were talking about?"
Zong Ruoan glanced back at Quan and Xun, and said, "Yes, he is my friend Quan Hexun, a gold medal lawyer, the chief legal adviser of the Imperial Senate, and the unicorn of the Quan family."
Since Quan Hexun took the initiative to show his face, Zong Ruoan also unceremoniously gave out all his bottoms.
Xia Chu saw that he was busy with a look of reverence, and arched his hand and said, "Amazing! Look up for a long time!"
Quan and Xun took the hand, and smiled warmly like the spring breeze in April: "Be polite, each other."
First Summer: "......"
Sure enough, the spring breeze in April is like scissors, and it turns out that this is how the "knife hidden in the smile" came about......
The two tacitly did not mention the battle yesterday morning, as if it was just the first time they met, but they did not give in to each other in their words, and secretly played a sharp edge.
Zong Ruoan saw that Quan and Xun both said this, so he had to persuade Xia Chujian again: "First meeting, since the chief of Quan doesn't mind, you can help us cook a dinner?" I believe that the Chief Quan will definitely accept your favor......
Xia Chu saw the waves of his eyes and understood what Zong Ruoan meant.
This is to give her a bigger backer......
As a low-level commoner, of course, she hopes that the more backers she has, the better, and what bodhisattvas are offered on the mountain, maybe there will be a day when it will be used.
But she always felt that this power and discipline was magnificent, but it was obviously not as good as Zong Ruo'an's good words (suddenly).
Think of yesterday in the Square Garden, in such a big place, he was able to bring his people to her......
It's not good, she can't borrow this person's momentum, but this person will use her completely......
But as a top nobleman, when it comes to this, she doesn't agree, that is, she doesn't know each other.
