After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.
While eating and drinking, Meng Tianxiang's cell phone rang.
He got up and walked to the living room, picked up the phone on the coffee table and answered it.
After talking for a while, he turned back and said:
"Xiaozhuang, the twelve golden dragons have been transported back to the bureau."
Zhuang Zhou put down his chopsticks and looked at Meng Tianxiang with some surprise:
"So soon?"
"With dedicated personnel responsible for transportation, the journey will naturally be much smoother."
Having said this, Meng Tianxiang looked at Zhuang Zhou solemnly:
"Remember what I said before. Let the bureau handle this Jin Long matter now."
"Okay, I got it!"
Mother Meng looked at Meng Tianxiang in confusion, then glanced at Zhuang Zhou:
"What are you talking about?"
Zhuang Zhou was about to reply when Meng Tianxiang raised his glass and clinked it with Zhuang Zhou's again:
"Come, have another drink."
…
After dinner.
Zhuang Zhou and Meng Tianxiang sat at the coffee table drinking and chatting.
Meng Xuan was holding the gift from Zhuang Zhou and asked:
"Zhuang Zhou, what do you have in here?"
"I sent some supplements to my uncle and aunt."
Mother Meng said very politely:
"No need to be so polite... Hey, what is this?"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Meng Xuan had already opened a gift bag.
There was a big box inside.
It looks extremely exquisite.
I didn't expect that the outer packaging looked bad, but there were good things inside.
Then, Meng Xuan opened the box again, and saw that it was filled with densely packed sticks.
Mother Meng was stunned for a moment:
"Isn't this...cordyceps sinensis?"
Meng Xuan nodded and said:
"Yes, this is Cordyceps sinensis... and there are so many?"
As he spoke, he had already brought the Cordyceps sinensis over.
Meng Tianxiang was also attracted at this time and picked up a piece of Cordyceps sinensis to look at it.
Smell it again:
“This is all high-quality grass!”
Zhuang Zhou thought to himself, since it’s a gift from the royal family, how could it not be a high-quality product?
"Xiaozhuang, how heavy is this?"
Zhuang Zhou didn't think much about it and replied directly:
"Probably more than a pound!"
Meng Tianxiang pondered for a moment and said calmly:
"That works out to... at least 150,000."
Mother Meng was suddenly stunned.
This gift is worth 150,000 yuan?
"Oh, Xiaozhuang, you can't use this. It's too valuable!"
Mother Meng waved her hands quickly, looking terrified.
Zhuang Zhou explained calmly:
"Auntie, please don't be so polite.
I happened to come across this when I was on a business trip recently. It's just a small gift for you, please accept it!
On weekdays, you can use it to soak in water and drink it, it’s quite good.”
Meng Tianxiang still said calmly:
"Xiao Zhuang, this gift is too valuable. You can take it back later."
Zhuang Zhou was a little embarrassed. This little thing was really nothing to him.
After thinking about it, I had to make up a pretext:
"Uncle Meng, this cordyceps is all artificially cultivated. It's not as valuable as you think."
Meng Xuan also smiled and echoed:
"Dad, just accept it. They're here for dinner and bring you two elders some gifts. Are you still worried about being investigated?!"
As he spoke, he opened another box.
Okay!
There are two purple Ganoderma lucidum inside.
Meng Tianxiang and Meng's mother looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
Meng Tianxiang picked up a purple Ganoderma lucidum and looked at it carefully.
Then, he smelled it again.
His face suddenly darkened:
"Xiaozhuang, is this wild purple Ganoderma lucidum?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
"I don't know, it seems so."
Meng Tianxiang couldn't help but look at Zhuang Zhou and said seriously:
"Xiaozhuang, these two purple Ganoderma lucidums, each one must be worth over 200,000, right?"
Mother Meng also looked at Zhuang Zhou in astonishment.
She knew very well that for rich people, two hundred thousand might not be a big deal.
But that is wild purple Ganoderma lucidum!
It's not something you can buy with just any money.
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and explained calmly:
“Uncle Meng, actually these two purple Ganoderma lucidum are not that expensive.
This was dug out from the mountains by a friend of mine. He was in a hurry to use the money, so he sold it to me at a low price.
I thought you guys would need some nourishment, so I brought it here for you."
Meng Tianxiang was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke.
"Xiao Zhuang, I appreciate your kindness.
But you should take these Ganoderma and Cordyceps back with you.
Your aunt and I don’t have any use for such a good thing.”
Zhuang Zhou knew that Meng Tianxiang was worried about being suspected of accepting gifts.
This is no joke.
He smiled slightly, feeling a little awkward for a moment.
Mother Meng looked at Zhuang Zhou and said with some emotion:
"Xiao Zhuang, you are such a thoughtful kid.
But given the situation at home, I really can't accept such an expensive gift."
Zhuang Zhou smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I didn't think it through."
Meng Tianxiang also smiled and echoed:
"I asked you to come to my house for dinner today because I wanted to talk to you about Meng Xuan."
All right!
Finally we got to the serious topic.
Zhuang Zhou sat up straight and looked at Meng Tianxiang seriously:
"Uncle Meng, please speak."
Meng Tianxiang took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Xiaozhuang, you are a good child. When Uncle Meng first saw you, he felt that you were very spiritual."
Zhuang Zhou smiled and nodded.
Meng Tianxiang continued:
"What Uncle Meng wants to say is that I have discussed your matter with Meng Xuan with her mother, and we both support you."
