Chapter 235 Working to Pay Off Debts
After seeing Ling Ran and her group off, Wang Zhengtian immediately went back to his house.
A group of managers looked at him expectantly: "Did it work?"
"It's done!"
"Very good."
Everyone was very happy.
Suddenly someone asked, "What should we do with those imposters?"
These people didn't do anything special; just like they said, they freeloaded.
Wang Zhengtian thought for a moment and said, "Let's mess with them a bit, and then when we go on missions, we'll take them along and let them fight in the front lines."
These people don't deserve to die, but keeping them at the base would be a waste of food. It's better to make the most of them and let them work to pay off their debts.
"Alright."
"Alright, everyone, let's discuss the mission now."
...
On the other side, after Ling Ran and her group finished their meal, they went about their own business. Ling Ran watched two episodes of a TV series, and when her biological clock struck, she went to bed.
Although they were at the base, people were still sent to keep watch at night.
Pei Xiu was busy tending to his durians and couldn't sleep, so he assigned him to keep watch.
His durian seedlings have grown quite tall, but durians are not small. Although the potted plant is quite large, it is probably still not enough. So Pei Xiu has been busy changing the potted plant recently.
The base was safe, and nothing happened that night.
The next morning.
Ling Ran got up promptly at eight o'clock.
When I came downstairs and saw the breakfast on the table, I raised an eyebrow slightly: "What are you having for breakfast today?"
Uncle Chen came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of rice noodles. When he heard Ling Ran ask, he quickly replied, "Sir, this is Langcheng local braised rice noodles. Xiao Liu and I learned it from a chef at the base."
Another unfamiliar man came out of the kitchen and greeted Ling Ran, "Good morning, sir."
Ling Ran nodded slightly. Just as she sat down, Uncle Chen said again, "Sir, your mission will probably take a few days. In the next few days, Xiao Liu and I have decided to learn how to make all the local delicacies of Furong Province. That way, if you crave them, Xiao Liu and I can make them."
"Okay." Ling Ran nodded in satisfaction: "I'm very pleased that you've put in this effort."
The team already has two chefs, so adding more would be too much. However, it's a good thing that Liu Xiuping and Uncle Chen are willing to learn on their own.
The rice noodles in the large bowl were distinct, white and tender, and topped with peanuts, scallions, pickled cowpeas, and chili peppers, making them look very appetizing.
Ling Ran took a bite; it was sour and spicy, with a strong braised flavor, and a smooth texture—it was delicious.
She looked up at Uncle Chen and the others: "Sit down and eat with us."
The chef thought Ling Ran was referring to Uncle Chen and Liu Xiuping, and was about to leave when the girl next to the adult said, "Chef, you've been busy all morning, why don't you have breakfast together before you go?"
He came over early in the morning to teach people how to make rice noodles, and then he was going to teach Uncle Chen and Liu Xiuping some local specialties of Fujian Province. How could the adults not pay him?
The chef was a little excited, but then Uncle Chen pulled him to sit down and brought him a bowl full of braised rice noodles: "Eat up."
For a moment, the only sound at the table was the slurping of noodles.
Ling Ran ate very well, having eaten two large bowls of rice noodles for breakfast. The rice noodles were sour and spicy, which was very appetizing and easy to overeat.
After finishing the noodles, the chef didn't leave. Uncle Chen and Liu Xiuping pulled him aside to learn how to cook the specialty dishes of Furong Province, especially the dishes that Ling Ran had praised yesterday. They were determined to learn them.
At 10:30 a.m., Wang Zhengtian arrived again.
He had set a time and plan for this trip, and also brought a hand-drawn map of flying superhumans.
