Chapter 72 Three Updates in One (Catching Bugs)

Captain Qian was full of righteousness. He helped the accountant in the team up and asked someone to send her to the health center for examination. Turning around, he saw comrades from the militia company and other members surrounding Zhou Hongfei. They punched them twice and took them down in an instant!

The members of Wudaogou were furious: "Send these two people to the commune!"

Qiu Xiuping was fine. She was confused and didn't put up any fierce resistance. After all, she knew that the commune and the militia company were not unreasonable. She just wondered what was wrong with Captain Qian.

They came to give money, but Captain Qian actually thought he was a liar!

On the other hand, Zhou Hongfei was not so lucky. Because he was the first to attack, the militia handcuffed his hands behind his back and forcibly escorted him to the commune. There were several bloody marks on his face from being hit with a broom. His shoulders and legs were aching, and he didn't know who had hit him. He almost jumped up in anger at such humiliating treatment!

I am Chief Zhou's son. I have never suffered such humiliation in my life!

......

"What? People from the Food Factory went to Wudaogou to try to steal our coconuts?"

In the office of Factory 119 No. 2, Lin Xiang, Kong Zhenzhen and Ma Defa who had just returned from the city were all shocked, especially Director Zhao who, after hanging up the phone, mentioned later that a man and a woman sent by Shiwei were beaten and taken to the commune. His eyes widened.

Lin Xiang couldn't help laughing, and the long-lost memories came flooding back to her mind again: "Captain Qian is really amazing, and his awareness of fraud prevention is amazing."

Thinking back, when Director Zhao, Kong Zhenzhen and I went to discuss cooperation, we were also thought to be scammers. However, the three of them were relatively calm and collected, and went to the commune to explain and prove things, thus clearing up the misunderstanding.

Zhao Jianjun pondered, "Captain Qian is smart. He said that the coconuts are reserved for us and will not be sold to others. We can rest assured about this. But Shiwei actually found out where we bought the coconuts and wanted to poach us. It's really..."

"How shameless!" Kong Zhenzhen slapped the desk, angrily, "How can they resort to such despicable means?"

Previously, there was an incident where one factory produced four kinds of canned fish, and now they are targeting the second factory.

Ma Defa flipped through the poetry collection casually and said calmly, "They must have a spy in the factory. Last time, they leaked the formula of four kinds of canned fish, and now they are selling our information."

Kong Zhenzhen hated the traitor so much that her teeth itched: "How despicable!"

Lin Xiang seemed to be thinking about something. "Not only Factory 2 knows about the purchase of coconuts from our factory, but Factory 1 also knows about it. After all, every payment report must specify the location, person in charge, and amount. However, they went straight to Wudaogou to find the money captain, which seems to have done their homework. It must be an insider who leaked the details."

Zhao Jianjun was about to leave: "I have to go talk to the factory manager. The traitor must be caught as soon as possible!"

However, with thousands of people working at the 119 Food Factory, it is not easy to catch a mole who has not revealed his identity yet.

Lin Xiang looked at Director Zhao's back as he went to respond to the situation, then sat back in her office chair, wondering if the traitor might have leaked any other information.

That night, Lin Xiang returned home and told her husband about the incident: "Did you often catch spies in the past? Do you think it is easy to find the traitor in our factory?"

Lin Xiang has a ready-made expert in catching spies by his side, so it would be a waste if he didn't use him.

In the first ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many hostile forces that refused to give up and often deployed spies to try to disrupt the country's rebirth and reconstruction.

He Hongyuan had indeed participated in many spy-catching operations in the army and was able to carefully identify the characteristics of spies. Anyone who appeared with a special purpose would be exposed no matter how well they hid.

"The appearance may give it away." He Hongyuan and Lin Xiang moved the chairs to the vegetable garden. The sunset in the distance dyed half the sky red. The breeze gently blew the corners of their clothes. They recalled the past, "Like in 1965, we caught a spy disguised as a farmer. He looked honest and simple, and his behavior was similar to that of the nearby farmers."

Lin Xiang was interested in hearing the story and asked, "How did you find out?"

He Hongyuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he recalled the flaw he had accidentally discovered that year: "Because of a small section of socks exposed at the edge of his boots."

"What's wrong with the socks?"

"At that time, we had just experienced a famine, life was hard, and every household had no money, but this man was wearing a pair of nylon socks. If he was really a villager there, he would not be willing to spend so much money on expensive socks."

Lin Xiang's eyes sparkled. She tilted her head and approached the man, a faint smile on her lips: "Wow, you guys really have sharp eyes! You observe so carefully."

He Hongyuan was caught off guard when his wife approached him and praised him. The corners of his lips couldn't help but raise slightly, but he tried to suppress it and then talked about some situations of catching spies.

......

The next day, in response to Zhao Jianjun's suspicious reaction, Director Huang asked Tian Guiju to check the situation at the factory office. The two departments that knew the most detailed information about the Wudaogou coconut base were the administrative department and the financial department. The documents for the two factories to apply for grants to purchase coconuts had to go through their hands.

The staff were casually questioned by Director Tian without any suspicion, and they did not see anything unusual in the conversation about the second factory buying coconuts to produce coconut juice.

Meanwhile, news came from the Wudaogou Production Brigade that Captain Qian had used the commune's phone to talk to Lin Xiang about the taste of food.

Although Qiu Xiuping tried her best to prove her and Zhou Hongfei's identities after arriving at the commune, and that the two were indeed not liars, it was an indisputable fact that Zhou Hongfei was the first to attack. The members were furious and would not let him go easily. Yesterday, they sent him to the militia company and detained him for a night. It was not until noon today that Director Qiu of the Shiwei Food Factory came to apologize in person and paid for his medical expenses, and then they took him back.

"That young man has a bad temper. He dared to bully us in our team. He really thought we were soft persimmons! The young female comrade is much better. She explained it clearly and we didn't make things difficult for her."

Wudaogou was poor, but the whole brigade was united, and everyone worked together like a rope, so naturally no one could bully them. Besides, the poor peasants were the good elements with good roots, and if it really got out that the son of the chief bullied the poor peasants, then Chief Zhou would have to drink a pot of wine.

Lin Xiang thought of Zhou Hongfei's experience and held back a laugh as she agreed, "Captain Qian, that guy really went too far!"

Qiu Xiuping explained everything clearly that day and left. Zhou Hongfei was detained for assault and finally Director Qiu came to redeem him.

Captain Qian kept talking: "But their factory manager was okay. He came to apologize and brought some maltose and canned fruit for Xiao Dong. He was quite polite and apologized to me. He also gave me a good cigarette. That was Daqianmen! He said that Zhou was young and ignorant, and Xiao Dong had a bump on his head, but it was not a big deal. I thought their attitude was okay, so I agreed to let him go."

Lin Xiang really didn't expect that the coconut base would be in such a mess yesterday. Fortunately, Captain Qian was an honest man and notified her immediately: "Captain Qian, their factory came here just to steal our coconuts to make coconut juice. I didn't expect that it would cause trouble for you in the end. I will ask the staff to send two bottles of the army's herbal wine to Accountant Dong on behalf of the factory. It can't be bought outside and the effect is very good."

Upon hearing this, Captain Qian wanted to slap his thigh. The people at the 119 Food Factory were truly amazing. Not only did they cooperate with the brigade and help the entire brigade live a better life, they even rushed to send medicinal liquor even though it had nothing to do with them. How thoughtful!

Compared to the rude and shameless people from Shiwei Food Factory, Captain Qian just wants to beat him up again!

Captain Qian was not affected by the incident at Shiwei. He only reminded all members to cheer up and not to say much to anyone who was not from the 119 Factory No. 2 in the future, and to be especially careful of those from the Shiwei Food Factory. He then turned around and led his men to busy themselves with developing a coconut plantation.

——

At the 119 Food Factory, after a few days of investigation, Director Tian complained to Director Huang: "Director, everyone in our factory office is dedicated to their work. How could there be a mole? I have asked everyone according to your instructions, and I didn't find anything wrong."

This is really strange. After all, the 119 Food Factory has never had such a thing - an insider leak - in all these years.

The canned fish production workshop and factory office were checked but no suspicious persons were found so far.

Zhao Jianjun talked about this with three people in his factory office and could only warn them: "We must be more careful in the future, especially the formulas of various sodas and juices must be strictly followed. The proportions of various additives must not be leaked. If there is any situation, please report it in time."

"good."

"Understood, Director."

Although the traitor has not been caught yet, production can continue as usual.

Last time we recruited a group of new employees, six of them moved into the second factory office, which finally added some life to the deserted office building which had only four people working there.

Lin Xiang assigned two new people, a boy and a girl, to take care of them. The boy, Zhong Chulin, was seventeen years old this year. He was the son of a sacrificed comrade-in-arms adopted by Deputy Commander Li of the 119th Army. The girl was twenty years old this year, one month younger than Lin Xiang, and was the younger sister of Battalion Commander Xiang in the army.

The two now follow Lin Xiang to manage the employee files of the entire factory, check the production tasks every month, and sign orders and arrange supplies.

It was almost time to pay wages at the end of the month, and Lin Xiang taught the two people how to check the completion of production tasks.

Xiao Zhong: "Sister Xiangxiang, we have checked it. Should we hand it over to Sister Zhenzhen now?"

Lin Xiang quickly scanned the production verification data, pointed out two minor errors and asked them to correct them after understanding: "Okay, hand it over."

Xiao Zhong and Xiao Xiang handed the production verification data to Kong Zhenzhen, and Kong Zhenzhen also taught the two new employees under her to verify the factory's wage data for this month.

After a busy day, I finally go to a factory to submit the final information and wait for the factory to notify me at the end of the month to collect my salary.

After going to the factory office, Kong Zhenzhen always suspected that someone had leaked the location and person in charge of purchasing coconuts for the second factory. She was almost like a detective patrolling everywhere. When she returned to the second factory office, Lin Xiang joked to her: "Sister Zhenzhen, don't think about this every day, otherwise you will dream of catching the traitor."

Kong Zhenzhen scratched her head and said, "I really want to dream it out for me!"

——

After being reviewed by the Phnom Penh Grain and Oil Company, the old salted yellow-skinned water from the second factory was handed over to Yang Tian, ​​who was in charge of producing 500 bottles in batches and directly loaded onto trucks to be delivered to the city for distribution and supply.

Yang Tian has a lot of new employees recently, and explaining, observing and guiding them is no easier than doing the job by yourself. However, Zhang Yafen, the daughter of Qiu Hongxia, is not sure if she inherited the skills from her mother, but she is also smart and dexterous and learns quickly.

Zhang Yafen is called "Master" and her learning progress is amazing.

A truckload of salted yellow juice was sent away, and the people in the workshop breathed a sigh of relief. The factory office was also looking forward to follow-up feedback. After all, everyone was really amazed by this juice, and even felt that it had more advantages than coconut juice in summer!

It's really effective in relieving heat and cooling down!

Lin Xiang is also confident that this aged salted yellow peel water has an amazing flavor and is a must-have for cooling off in the summer. If her estimate is correct, it may even outsell coconut juice during the hottest months.

However, on the first day that the salty yellow peel water was put on the market, shocking news came.

Zhao Jianjun's face darkened when he received the call. After hanging up, he said sternly to the other three people in the office, "Shiwei Food Factory started selling yellow peel water on the same day as us."

"What!" The three stood up in surprise. It had not been long since their factory had prepared the yellow peel water, so how could the taste be so strange...

There is definitely something wrong!

"The only good news is that the taste they prepared is very ordinary. They still added ordinary sugar syrup into it and mixed it like the usual fruit juice." Most people would never have thought that 119's yellow peel water is added with salt and lemon juice.

Zhao Jianjun was informed by his retired comrade in the city. Originally, Zhao Jianjun went into the city for some work yesterday and had a meal with his old comrade. During the conversation, he mentioned that his factory had produced a very delicious soda and asked his old comrade to try it tomorrow.

As a result, the old comrade went to the department store today and saw that there were two kinds of yellow-skinned water, placed together. He bought a bottle of each and hurriedly called Zhao Jianjun.

Originally it was a joke about how the soda and food from the Comrades Factory started selling the same thing on the same day, especially a sour fruit like kumquat. Who could have thought of that?

However, the old comrade tasted both bottles and told Zhao Jianjun firmly: "Your factory's is still the best, much better!"

Lin Xiang is not worried about the quality of her own products, especially the taste. She still tries to use syrup to suppress very sour fruits such as kumquat, which results in too much syrup being added, which in turn overlaps with the fruit acid to the point of being greasy. Naturally, the taste is far inferior to the taste of her own products that have added salt and lemon juice.

But such a blatant provocation set off alarm bells. The insider not only leaked the coconut purchasing situation, but also informed others about the second factory's preparation of kumquat water. This made it possible for the Shiwei Food Factory to quickly follow in 119's footsteps and start selling kumquat water on the same day.

Director Zhao continued to report the situation to the factory manager, demanding further investigation. However, since it was Factory One's business, they, Factory Two, could not intervene and could only bother the factory manager every day.

Lin Xiang returned home and pondered over the matter. She couldn't help but analyze the traitor in the factory with He Hongyuan, who was good at catching spies: "You said, the traitor leaked the formula of canned fish in the factory, and then revealed the place where we bought coconuts and the person in charge, as well as the preparation of yellow skin water. What characteristics might such a person have?"

He Hongyuan pondered for a moment: "What kind of person can get access to the canned fish formula? And who can understand the situation of your coconut purchase?"

"The canned fish formula is known by the people in the canned fish production workshop, especially the core technicians and workshop leaders. As for the purchase of coconuts by our factory, the factory office knows about it and it will be stated on the reimbursement form."

After simply planning the crowd portrait, Lin Xiang wondered whether the two circles of the canned fish production workshop and the factory office could intersect: "However, a while ago, the factory manager asked the canned fish workshop to check, but no clues were found. It may be that the traitor was hiding too well. As for the factory office, there was nothing unusual either."

"Only people from the fish canning workshop and the factory office could have had contact?" He Hongyuan proposed another idea. "You have a lot of people in your factory, and you have already checked the people from the fish canning workshop and the factory office. There are only two possibilities. Either the insider is so good at disguising himself that you haven't found any clues yet, or the scope of the investigation is wrong, and the person is not from the fish canning workshop or the factory office at all, so naturally you can't find him."

Lin Xiang's eyes lit up, and she looked at He Hongyuan suddenly, carefully thinking about what the man said, and her brows gradually relaxed: "You are right! At first, when the formula of the canned fish workshop was leaked, we all suspected that it was someone inside their workshop who did it. Now think about it, maybe it is really possible that we trapped ourselves."

He Hongyuan nodded: "I am not from your factory, so I don't have much impression of those workshops and departments. It's not like you have completely defined your territory and can't escape. It was the same when we caught spies in the past. Many times, spies appeared in places where they were unlikely to appear, with incredible identities, which was completely different from what we expected at the beginning."

Lin Xiang suddenly realized that maybe they were going in the wrong direction in their search for the traitor!

After asking He Hongyuan some questions about his techniques for catching spies, the couple came up with a plan as the night was getting dark, which might help them catch the traitor.

The next day, Lin Xiang explained the situation in detail to Director Zhao. Zhao Jianjun was a man who dared to think and act, so he immediately took Lin Xiang to find Director Huang.

Factory Director Huang has been very worried these days, and he is troubled by the shameless Zhao Jianjun every day. He just waved his hand and let them do whatever they want.

Within two days, at a factory leadership meeting, Director Huang suddenly announced that the factory was going to develop a new seafood sauce. The recipe was a page of recipe that was accidentally discovered, 119 and left behind by a technician from the predecessor Guangfa Food Factory decades ago.

"I've tried this sauce, it tastes very good." Director Huang glanced at Qin Yangbo, the director of the shrimp sauce workshop, "It's better than canned shrimp sauce."

As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders present at the meeting could no longer sit still. If it could be better than shrimp sauce, that would be incredible. Could it be that 119 could launch another trump card?

"Director, what kind of sauce is this? Where is it? Let us see it." Hearing that it was a recipe handed down from the predecessor of the 119 Food Factory decades ago, everyone believed it without a doubt. After all, the predecessor was a time-honored food factory with something to offer.

Director Huang waved his hands and said, "The factory is facing a difficult time right now. The traitor has not been caught yet. In order to avoid accidents, only a few workshop directors will be assigned to prepare the core formula for production this time. No one else will participate. They will go to Workshop 9."

In other words, the fewer people who know the formula, the safer it is. If it is leaked again, the scope of investigation will be extremely small and it can be quickly identified.

Everyone was shocked to find that the sauce was so mysterious. Only three people were assigned to mix the recipe. They were Qin Yangbo from the Ace Shrimp Sauce Workshop, who was the most skilled in the factory, and the directors of the canned fish workshops one and two.

The three of them gathered in Workshop 9, each with their own thoughts in mind.

Workshop 9 is the core workshop of 119. It is not used for large-scale production and is only used when it involves core secrets.

Yu Zhixin, the director of the fish canning workshop, was curious: "Is there really such a powerful sauce? Can it surpass canned shrimp sauce?"

Song Ming, the director of the second canned fish workshop, immediately looked at Qin Yangbo, the director of the shrimp sauce workshop next to him, and said, "Director Qin, don't worry. There is no way any sauce can surpass the shrimp sauce cans in your workshop."

Qin Yangbo frowned and said seriously, "If there is something better than canned shrimp sauce, it will be a good thing for the factory. It will help to share the pressure."

The sales of the four kinds of canned fish were snatched away by the taste buds, and the 119 Food Factory suffered a big blow. It is really good for the factory to have a new seafood sauce.

The three of them became more and more curious about the seafood sauce that the factory director praised so much, but when the workshop door opened and Lin Xiang from Factory 2 walked in, the three of them all changed their expressions.

Director Yu of the fish canning workshop was puzzled: "Director, what does this mean? Other technical workers are not allowed to come, so why are young comrades allowed to come?"

"That's right, Director. You were so cautious just now, how come someone from the second factory is here? And she's just a little girl." Director Song of the second canned fish workshop remembered that the deputy director and a group of team leaders in his workshop were not qualified to come, so how could Lin Xiang come?

Only Director Qin from the shrimp sauce workshop did not speak. He looked at Lin Xiang curiously and remained silent.

Factory Director Huang pointed at Lin Xiang and said in a startling tone: "This recipe was discovered by Xiao Lin from Factory 2. Why can't they come? Xiao Lin, give it to them to try."

Lin Xiang was holding a bowl of red seafood sauce, which looked very tempting. She handed over three small spoons to the three workshop managers to taste it.

Director Yu and Director Song looked at each other, and finally dipped the food in the sauce doubtfully. In an instant, their bright black eyes widened.

Director Qin was much calmer. He took a sip of the sauce, savoring it carefully without saying a word.

Factory Director Huang laughed twice: "A lot of things have happened in our factory recently, with internal traitors and various small actions of food lovers. You also have to help the factory calm down the people. With this sauce..."

Before he finished speaking, Director Qin suddenly said, "This sauce can completely leave other canned foods behind. The food flavor factory is not good enough."

"Oh! That's right, we have to say it like this to the outside world." Director Huang wanted to give a few more instructions when he heard Qin Yangbo ask again.

"Director, this recipe is really amazing. The sauce tastes salty, fresh and fragrant. Everything is perfect. The recipe developed by our predecessor factory is really amazing."

Director Huang: “…”

This guy was also into the role. Before I even gave him any instructions, Lao Qin had already started to perform.

Director Huang: "Yes, yes, yes, spread it out like this! The more exaggerated, the better."

......

Not long after, word spread inside the 119 Food Factory that they had an amazing seafood sauce ready for sale, which was so good it tasted even better than shrimp sauce.

The workers were shocked and all the gloom that had been haunted by the smell of food for the past few months was swept away. Everyone was excited!

"I heard from Director Yu that the sauce is especially delicious."

"Director Song also said the same thing, which made me want to try it."

"What are you saying? The factory manager was worried that something might go wrong, so this time the recipe and sauce were locked in Workshop 9, and only three workshop managers were allowed to participate in the core formula throughout the process."

"Is it really that good? I don't believe it."

"Why don't you believe it? Even Director Qin from the shrimp sauce workshop said it's great! No matter who we believe, we must believe Director Qin."

There is no bad sauce endorsed by Qin Yangbo.

In the shrimp sauce workshop, Fang Yuan, the head of the mixing team, was curious: "Director, what kind of sauce is really that powerful?"

Director Qin nodded: "It's no worse than our shrimp sauce."

He Zhigang, the leader of the fermentation group, took a deep breath and said, "Is it so amazing? Can we try it? Then the sauce will be put in the ninth workshop?"

Deputy Director Liu Qingshan patted He Zhigang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Why, you still want to try the ninth workshop? The factory director has said that there is no place for us."

At the same time, people from the two fish canning workshops also gathered together, some were curious, some were dissatisfied.

After all, the food produced canned fish that tasted exactly the same. It was like a slap in the face of their workshop, with clear fingerprints that couldn't be wiped away.

Now, out of nowhere, an amazing recipe comes out, claiming to be a particularly amazing sauce. Once it is sold, it will surpass all other sauces. The food factory is not even worth mentioning.

The story is so exaggerated that everyone is curious.

"Director, is it really that amazing?" Chen Si, a technician in the fish canning workshop, asked anxiously.

Wu Minghua, a technician in the second workshop, didn't believe it: "It's impossible. I don't believe it can be better than canned shrimp sauce."

The two directors savored the taste and said, "Director Qin is not here right now. I have to say, this is even better than canned shrimp sauce!"

Crowd: !!!

——

The news that a factory had found a unique recipe and was about to produce a seafood sauce that was even tastier than shrimp sauce spread quickly. The entire factory was discussing it, and the news even accidentally spread outside, and even many of its peers in the province knew about it.

Kong Zhenzhen was equally curious. She looked at Director Zhao and Lin Xiang, who had been mysterious for a few days, and asked, "Is there really such a thing in that notebook?"

Seeing that the news had spread, Lin Xiang stopped playing dumb: "It's fake! A lot of the sauces in that notebook were already produced by our factory. There's nothing new."

"Then what did you give to those directors of the factory?"

"I casually made some Spanish mackerel sauce and sent it over. I told Director Huang in advance and asked everyone to perform it. The more exaggerated the bragging, the better." Lin Xiang remembered that Director Huang was so emotional about the news that had been circulating in the past few days.

——These guys have been in office for a long time and have become better and better at bragging. They act really well.

After discussing with He Hongyuan, Lin Xiang came up with a plan to provoke the traitor to take action.

Since he works for the Shiwei Food Factory, if 119 gets the news that they have accidentally discovered a secret recipe and are about to launch a canned food that beats all other seafood sauces in seconds, can Shiwei still sit still?

If they could sit still, they wouldn't do so many little things one after another.

Now that the news has spread, with the secret promotion of 119, it is guaranteed to reach Shiwei. It depends on whether Shiwei will put pressure on the traitor in 119 and force him to steal the recipe.

If the traitor does not take any action, Lin Xiang still has a backup plan.

After the factory was about to launch a seafood sauce that Director Qin said was amazing, the workers began to worry about the traitor a while ago and worried that the seafood sauce had been stolen.

Just as I was worrying, within two days, shocking news came out again. There was news about the traitor mentioned a while ago!

Everyone had previously suspected that there was something wrong with the four canned fish produced by Shiwei that tasted exactly like 119. However, after an investigation, the factory leader said there was no traitor, and everyone's suspicions were put to rest.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly say that he knew who the traitor was!

"No, I went to the factory office and overheard Director Tian whispering to a few staff members. It seems that they know who the traitor is! This is a serious matter. It is said that not only did he sell the canned fish formula of our first factory, but he also leaked the soda of the second factory."

"This dog is so brave!"

"What a sin! How can a traitor appear in a place like ours with such a good family background? If it were the Anti-Japanese War, he would have been shot!"

"Hey, who is the traitor?" someone asked the key question.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment: "We don't know. They just said it was locked down, but they didn't say who in which workshop! Anyway, the leaders know it!"

The news of locking up the traitor also spread, but the leaders in the factory kept their mouth shut and did not reveal a single detail. The strict security of the incomparable sauce in workshop nine also relaxed, and people were no longer overly vigilant.

This action made the workers more convinced that the traitor had been discovered and they were ready to catch him.

Wherever Lin Xiang passed by in Factory 1 and Factory 2 today, she could hear the workers discussing the upcoming ultimate sauce and the traitor who was about to be caught.

She frowned, then suppressed the curve at the corners of her mouth and rode her bike home.

Victory has not yet arrived, so we cannot celebrate in advance.

119 There has been a lot of commotion recently, and since most of the workers live in family compounds, word spread quickly, and many military personnel also learned about it.

When He Hongyuan returned home and saw his wife humming a song in a relaxed and comfortable manner, he immediately guessed, "Is everything arranged?"

Lin Xiang was pounding the minced beef. Seeing the man coming back, she quickly handed the job over to him: "It's arranged. The news of locating the traitor spread today. The traitor will definitely be panicked no matter how hard he tries. By the way, pound it carefully. We'll have beef noodles with sauce tonight."

He Hongyuan was very familiar with this job, as if his daughter-in-law's strength was born for pounding all kinds of meat paste.

"The traitor must be feeling uncomfortable these days, and he can't help but show his flaws no matter what. By the way, where did this beef come from?" He Hongyuan beat the beef with all his strength, and the finely chopped beef gradually became flat and broken.

There are mostly fish and shrimp for food on the island, pork is occasionally available, but beef is very rare.

Lin Xiang hadn't eaten beef for a long time, so she was craving for it: "Yuezhu brought it here. She said it was a gift from Shen Jianming's parents, who asked someone to bring it back from their hometown. It's fresh beef."

A sirloin is pounded and diced into smaller pieces than ordinary diced beef. In a pot, peppercorns, star anise, ginger and scallions are used to boil out the base oil. Then the minced beef is added and stir-fried. The minced beef is stir-fried at high temperature and gradually gives off a unique aroma. Then, chopped chili peppers, peanuts and chopped mushrooms are added and stir-fried until fragrant. The combination of multiple ingredients gives off a rich aroma, filling the entire kitchen.

The beef sauce was simmering in the pot over low heat. As Lin Xiang watched the sauce gradually become thicker, she couldn't help but talk about the things in the factory with the man.

"How long do you think it will take for the traitor to be unable to control himself and make any move?"

He Hongyuan knew that the news of locating the traitor had spread today, and guessed, "It will take three or four days before he can sit still."

Lin Xiang nodded: "He must be scared now. The smell is so vile that it will definitely force him to steal the recipe. But the factory is guarding against the traitor for a while, and then cancels the alert. The news spreads that the traitor has been identified and they will arrest him immediately. It would be strange if they can endure it if they can't stand it. The factory director has already said that he has arranged trustworthy people to keep an eye on it at all times."

He Hongyuan saw that his wife was talking very well and praised her, "I can ask you to catch spies someday."

Lin Xiang raised a spatula and said excitedly: "If I really run into a spy, I will definitely catch every one of them!"

The freshly cooked beef soy sauce is moist and fragrant. Pour a spoonful of it on the white and tender noodles. The thin noodles are instantly dyed with red oil, and they are shiny and tempting.

The minced beef is mixed with chopped peanuts, minced mushrooms, and chopped peppers. The spicy flavor of the chili oil is the base, the meat is rich, the mushrooms are sweet, and the chopped peppers emit a light spicy flavor that stimulates the taste buds.

A mouthful of noodles is filled with the aroma of wheat and is very chewy, while the beef sauce wrapped inside is even more delicious, intertwined with each other, so fragrant that it almost makes you swallow your tongue.

He Hongyuan ate the noodles with big mouthfuls. He had never tasted such delicious ingredients in his life. He finished three or two noodles effortlessly: "This sauce is so delicious."

He couldn't help but sigh: "Your cooking skills are really in the right place, the food factory."

Lin Xiang ate the noodles slowly, mainly because the beef sauce was too fragrant: "Wait for me to put the rest into a can, and then I can eat it with rice or noodles."

He Hongyuan kept thinking about the taste and always felt that he could have another bowl of noodles. It was really delicious.

That night, after eating two bowls of noodles, He Hongyuan was pulled by Lin Xiang, who was in high spirits, to lie on the bed and read military theory books and Sun Tzu's Art of War. They were really interested in catching the traitor and they couldn't help but communicate and exchange ideas with each other.

At nine o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden noise downstairs and someone banged on the door.

Lin Xiang and He Hongyuan were surprised that someone came so late. The man strode out and opened the door. After a while, he turned around and said to Lin Xiang, who was late.

"Sister Hongxia came to inform us that the traitor in your factory has been caught!"

Lin Xiang was surprised, so fast? !

This traitor is too impatient!
