There are still a few unsolved cases here. Since we're here, Captain Tan quickly came over to greet Gu Yunyang and asked him to help draw up some diagrams.
By the time Gu Yunyang finished drawing, the person had already arrived.
Since he was asking for help, Director He instructed the kitchen to prepare two meat dishes.
When Gu Yunyang came over with the poached chicken and braised pork, the head chef recognized him and said, "The consultant is here. Here, I'll make you some braised pork."
Modern chefs are different from canteen chefs of later generations; a master chef's hands never tremble.
A huge spoonful of braised pork filled Gu Yunyang's lunchbox, which was almost overflowing.
Gu Yunyang opened his mouth as if to say something, but the head chef brought over a large spoonful of poached chicken, pressed it down, and stuffed it all into the bowl.
The prison guard said with a hint of jealousy, "I've been to the city so many times, but the head chef has never been this nice to me."
The head chef, his beard bristling and eyes wide, said, "What? I'm still here. If you don't want to eat meat, then keep talking."
You can't afford to offend the cook.
The prison guards had no choice but to quickly apologize and bow.
It was just a joke. We're all colleagues, how could it really be like that?
After dinner, which was supposed to be a rest day, Gu Yunyang took out some dried shiitake mushrooms, dried wood ear mushrooms, and dried mushrooms from his backpack, giving each person a portion. He then asked Zhuang Xiaoxing, "Sister Zhuang, these are just some cheap mountain produce."
I picked them myself from the mountain, washed them very clean, and dried them thoroughly. Smell them, don't they smell good?
Zhuang Xiaoxing originally didn't want to accept them, but seeing the high-quality shiitake mushrooms and other fungi, she couldn't bear to part with them.
The fragrance immediately filled the air again; those who like it truly love it.
Zhuang Xiaoxing immediately accepted the offer: "Alright, then I'll take it. But I have to pay for it. These mushrooms are of very high quality; you can't buy them even if you have the money. How about I give them to you at the supply and marketing cooperative's price?"
Gu Yunyang was only there to curry favor. If the price was based on the supply and marketing cooperative's price, although there would still be some favor involved, the amount of favor would be smaller.
He certainly didn't want it.
After much back and forth, Gu Yunyang finally convinced Zhuang Xiaoxing to accept the money: "Then I'll stick to the purchase price set by the supply and marketing cooperative and the purchasing station. It's definitely not acceptable for you to refuse to accept any at all. I can't take such a big advantage from you."
Gu Yunyang knew that this might be Zhuang Xiaoxing's bottom line.
"Okay."
Gu Yunyang took out many more packages: "Originally, everyone was giving them to me, but now it's not appropriate for me to give them to anyone else."
If one person gives money, would the others dare not give it back?
If Gu Yunyang gives them mushrooms now, wouldn't that be suspected of tricking them into buying them?
Zhuang Xiaoxing laughed and scolded, "Come on, the quality of your mushrooms is much better than the first-class ones sold by the supply and marketing cooperative."
Moreover, they are all of excellent quality and taste, which we all like.
They still sold it at the purchase price, so everyone got the biggest advantage.
"Alright, you can leave it with me. I'll deliver it to everyone later and collect the money. I definitely won't make things difficult for you."
Zhuang Xiaoxing naturally knew that she refused to accept the money and insisted on paying for it.
This thwarted Gu Yunyang's original plan to deliver the mountain products.
Sending it over there would seem like forcing someone to buy it.
So Zhuang Xiaoxing volunteered to share the mushrooms and collect the money.
Gu Yunyang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, there's something else I wanted to ask you before I gave the mushrooms to my sister."
He said somewhat awkwardly, "But if my sister insists on paying, I can't say anything more."
Zhuang Xiaoxing rolled her eyes and said with a laugh, "Just say what's on your mind. What's there to be ashamed of between us, siblings?"
Gu Yunyang has actually developed a thick skin.
Upon hearing Zhuang Xiaoxing's words, he immediately seized the opportunity and said, "It's like this, our Red Flag Brigade recently plans to frequently go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and herbs."
"Let's leave aside the herbs. We'll pick the mushrooms, and when we get back, I'll ask my sister and brother-in-law if we can send some over."
