Chapter 45: Transmission I heard that we would use some very delicious new ingredients tonight,...
Hearing that delicious new ingredients would be used in the evening, all the soldiers were very enthusiastic and looked forward to tonight's dinner. At dinner time, the cafeteria was crowded for the first time.
However, when they put the food into their mouths, they found that it was basically no different from the previous meals.
The soldier's friend grabbed his neck and said, "Xiao Wang, you actually committed fraud just to improve your purchasing department's performance?"
Soldier Xiao Wang said aggrievedly, "It's unfair. The tomatoes the minister gave me for lunch today were really delicious."
"What? Could it be that the cafeteria is still using the same old ingredients today?" Xiao Wang's friend said.
"I was so happy for nothing. I really thought there would be something delicious in the cafeteria today." said another soldier.
At this time, Li Xun was also eating. He took a bite of today's meal and felt something was wrong. The taste had not changed much and was not as amazing as what he had eaten at noon.
He went into the kitchen and asked the chef, "Didn't I tell you to use the freshest ingredients for dinner tonight? Why didn't you do that?"
The chef was shocked and quickly said, "Minister Li, we're using new ingredients that just arrived today. I personally led people to the warehouse to move them. The guys guarding the warehouse can testify to this."
Li Xun was puzzled and turned back to the warehouse to confirm where the ingredients for today came from.
He walked into the warehouse, took a tomato and a cucumber and brought them back to the dormitory.
Before he could make a comparison, he was informed that General Huang asked him to come over.
Li Xun took a cucumber and a tomato sent by Li Hu, as well as the newly arrived cucumbers and tomatoes from the Lin family, marked them separately, and came to General Huang's office.
"Minister Li, sit down." General Huang was a middle-aged woman with a resolute face. She was handling official business with a pen in her hand. When she saw Li Xun coming over, she put down the pen.
"General, did you ask me to come here because of the newly arrived ingredients?" Li Xun asked.
"Yes, the soldiers are in an uproar because of this incident. I asked you to come here to understand the situation." General Huang said.
Li Xun placed two tomatoes and two cucumbers in front of General Huang and said, "General, I suspect the Lin family has tricked us."
General Huang looked at the two cucumbers and two tomatoes on the table in confusion and said, "Why do you say that?"
"General, please look. The one on the left was sent to me by my friend, and the one on the right was just delivered by the Lin family. They are said to be top-quality ingredients, but their tastes are very different." Li Xun said, breaking off a piece of cucumber from each and handing them to General Huang.
General Huang took the two pieces of cucumber and took a bite of the cucumber, which was said to be the top quality from the Lin family. The taste was bland, similar to what you usually eat, but it was fresher.
Then he took a bite of the cucumber sent by Li Xun's friend. As soon as he put it in his mouth, a fresh fragrance hit his nose. The sweet juice flowed out after he took a bite. The taste buds in his mouth were activated, making him feel refreshed.
General Huang exclaimed in surprise, "This one your friend sent is delicious! Where did he buy it?"
"General, only extremely remote planets can sustain farmers. The interstellar market is essentially dominated by the Lin family's products," Li Xun said. "My friend lives in the central galaxy. It's impossible for him to buy produce from other farms. I suspect the Lin family is hiding this quality from us!"
General Huang sighed and said, "Apart from the Lin family, no one else can supply us with such a huge amount of food. Let's return the next batch of ingredients to their original price to save costs."
Li Xun nodded.
The food supplies for the front line basically all rely on the Lin family, so we can’t make things too awkward with the Lin family right now.
Li Xun slammed the table in anger and said, "The Lin family is really going too far!"
"How is your relationship with this friend?" asked General Huang.
Li Xun said, "His name is Li Hu. He was in the same team with me more than ten years ago. He retired due to illness a few years ago. We were just average friends, but this time he remembered me for some reason and even sent me something."
General Huang suddenly asked meaningfully, "Does he know that you are now the purchasing director?"
Li Xun was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean..."
"Knowing you're the purchasing director, he sent you some delicious ingredients that you can't stop eating... Could he be trying to sell you something?" General Huang said, "If my guess is correct, the ingredients he sent you aren't from the Lin family."
"Isn't it from the Lin family?" Li Xun thought for a moment and said quickly, "General, I'll contact him right away."
General Huang nodded and said, "Report to me if there is any further development."
After Li Xun returned, he immediately contacted Li Hu.
Li Xun: Captain Li Hu, I received the ingredients you sent me, and they taste great! Where did you buy them?
Li Hu: I am a student. I grew this myself. I think it tastes really good, so I sent it to you to try.
Li Xun: Did you grow it yourself? How was the yield?
Li Hu: The production is okay. I have opened a small shop now and the business is pretty good.
Li Xun: The military is interested in purchasing the food of the quality you sent me. I wonder if you, as a student, are interested in cooperating with the military?
Li Hu: But the production here is just enough to supply the small shop, and there is no excess production to sell outside.
Li Xun: Money is not a problem.
Li Hu: A batch of fruits have just ripened and they taste very good. If you need them, I will ask my students to sell them to you instead of putting them on the shelves.
Li Xun: Wait a moment, I need to ask the general for instructions.
At this time, on Su Sanyue's planet, Li Hu was sitting calmly on the sofa in Lan Bai's house, showing everyone the chat history between him and Li Xun.
Li Hu said, "I said they would definitely come looking for us after they had tasted it."
Su Sanyue said, "We have a bumper harvest of apples, pears, and peaches. We can sell 3,000 kilograms of each to them."
Lan Bai said, "Let's whet their appetite this time, and then make demands on them next time we cooperate."
Soon news from Li Xun came.
Li Xun: Can you send me some samples for tasting?
Li Hu: Sure, it will be sent to your dormitory tonight, remember to check it.
Tonight? So soon? Li Xun wondered, could it be that Li Hu was on a planet near the front line?
In the evening, Su Sanyue came to Chunfeng Shop, took out three apples, three pears and three peaches, filled in the address provided by Li Hu, and sent them out directly.
A bag suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Li Xun's dormitory. When Li Xun returned to the dormitory at night, he saw the bag filled with round fruits.
"This courier is so careless. They don't even worry about bumps or scratches." Li Xun said to himself.
He contacted General Huang with the bag of fruit.
General Huang was still working in the office, and so was her adjutant.
Li Xun came to General Huang's office with some fruit.
General Huang's adjutant quickly took the fruit, first conducted a safety check, then washed it, peeled it, cut it into pieces and brought it up.
The rich fruity aroma instantly filled General Huang's office, making people salivate.
"It smells so good! Adjutant Zhao, please sit down with Minister Li and let's try this fruit together." General Huang said.
Several people sat around the coffee table. After General Huang sat down, each of them took a piece of food and put it in their mouth.
"So sweet!" Adjutant Zhao ate a piece of peach and couldn't help but pick up another piece and started eating it.
General Huang also ate a piece, gave it a thumbs up, and said, "It tastes good."
Li Xun was eating an apple and couldn't stop. He swallowed the apple in his mouth and said, "Li Hu said he can provide us with 3,000 kilograms each, for a total of 9,000 kilograms of fruit."
Adjutant Zhao frowned and said, "That's all?"
Li Xun said, "Li Hu said that his student opened his own shop, and the shop can basically consume all the output. These 9,000 kilograms were still spared."
General Huang said, "Let's first negotiate the nine thousand kilograms with them, and then ask for the Star Network address of his shop. We'll see if we can buy some more from him."
Li Xun quickly contacted Li Hu and placed an order for 9,000 kilograms of fruit from him, and also asked for the address of his student's shop.
Li Hu: [Spring Breeze Shop]
Li Hu: Everyone in the store has a fixed amount of purchases.
Li Xun: ...Okay.
Li Xun quickly shared the address of Chunfeng Shop with General Huang and Adjutant Zhao.
The two of them clicked in and saw that the store had a wide variety of products and the reviews were all positive.
Clicking on a sweet potato purchase page, it says: Each person can purchase up to five kilograms per day.
Even here, you can see that the inventory in the store is decreasing rapidly.
"If we have to limit the quantity, we won't be able to purchase more." Adjutant Zhao said, "Can we secretly share this shop with the anorexic soldiers so they can cook their own meals?"
General Huang said, "You can arrange it as you see fit. The 9,000 kilograms of fruit will be placed in the cafeteria. Each person can only take one, first come, first served."
Li Xun was anxious to get the goods, and had already transferred the money to Li Hu. Li Hu transferred the star coins he received to Su Sanyue and asked Li Xun for the specific location of their food warehouse.
Li Xun sent the location to Li Hu and raised questions.
Li Xun: Why is it so specific? Isn't transportation limited to ports? Can it also be delivered to warehouses on its own?
Li Hu: You're not surprised, it really works. My student just happens to have this ability. You can wait in the warehouse to receive the goods in an hour!
Li Xun: ...
Li Xun, who didn't believe in evil, was waiting in the warehouse an hour later. He wanted to see how these 9,000 kilograms of fruit appeared out of thin air.
He looked at the empty warehouse. In the blink of an eye, three more piles of fruits appeared in the warehouse.
Li Xun rubbed his eyes. Was it an illusion? Or maybe it was just a projection!
Li Xun walked forward, picked up an apple and pressed it. It was hard and real.
I took a bite, mmm, delicious...
No! How could this be justified? Someone with this kind of special ability could do something else, like work as a courier?
Li Xun quickly sent another message to Li Hu: Does your student who has the ability to teleport have any idea of getting some military merit?
