Zhou Xiang sat down on the sofa. It was so tiring to talk while standing!
“Do I get an extra salary?”
The old man paused, then laughed heartily, "You, you, you casually hand over something that's worth a fortune, and you still care about a few hundred dollars in salary?"
"Hmm! It seems you're here for the good stuff, not to award me a medal of honor or something like that."
The old man smiled constantly, and face-to-face conversation was more interesting than a rigid investigation report.
"Your contributions are remembered. It's not appropriate to give you a medal of merit. It's too conspicuous, isn't it? When you and Ling Ran really figure out Country R's intentions regarding the Huai River, we'll share the credit, okay?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, and the old man was very satisfied.
Who knew Zhou Xiang would say, "The carrots are delicious, but unfortunately, they are hanging a little far away and I can't reach them."
Ling Ran sat next to the little girl and held her hand, "You are too impatient."
The old man took a long time to understand the meaning of this sentence. He laughed loudly, "Okay, okay! As long as you don't kick your butt, you will definitely get carrots to eat, hahahaha."
Zhou Xiang sighed, "Alright! You all make sense. Ling Ran, you two can discuss it! I'll go arrange lunch. Old leader, would you like to try some home-cooked food at my house?"
The old man nodded repeatedly, and Tang Ganwen could only stare blankly, but there was nothing he could do. He had secretly brought his old leader out without any bodyguards!
Zhou Xiang even glanced at him sideways as he passed by, "This is a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt!"
Tang Ganwen choked. The old man waved to him, "Come, sit down, calm down, and make the best of it. You're too nervous. Even Zhou Xiang can see it."
Tang Ganwen sat halfway down on the sofa. "Old leader, you're not... Oh! I'm going to be scolded again."
"Why don't you just stop listening to them? I heard Zhou Quan's home cooking is pretty good. Old Xiao's been stuck here for a month now, and I finally got a chance to come out, so I'll try some and show off when I get home. I'm bound to get criticized anyway, so why not eat and drink to my heart's content before heading back, right? Ling Ran?"
Ling Ran nodded, "Old leader, don't worry, there is wine! It is absolutely the best."
The old man smiled and said, "You are smart, and you decided on Zhou Xiang early on. Otherwise..."
Ling Ran quickly replied, "No, otherwise, you can also take a few boxes of wine with you when you leave."
The cunning look in the old man's eyes disappeared, "Okay, okay! Let's go back and make them jealous to death."
Ling Ran stood up and said, "I'll go prepare it, but please don't reveal your relationship with the Jiang family! You've seen it too. If you think about your blunt temper, I'm afraid you won't be able to get any wine, and you won't even be able to eat any home-cooked food."
The old man nodded. "I don't recognize that person. It's embarrassing!"
Ling Ran went to find Zhou Xiang with peace of mind. Zhou Xiang was in the kitchen asking his father to prepare a table of dishes according to the specifications for entertaining Mr. Xiao, as another leader was coming today.
Father Zhou nodded, "Okay! But Mr. Xiao eats a lot of greasy food."
"Keep it light, use less fat and less oil when cooking."
"Okay! I'll pay attention."
Zhou Xiang had just made the arrangements when Ling Ran called her upstairs. When she heard Ling Ran say that he wanted to use type 4 fruits to make wine, she disagreed.
"Type 3 fruits are enough for making wine, and I plan to save the type 4 fruits for making dried fruits."
"Well, let's try type 5 fruit! Squeeze it into juice and drip it into white wine to see the effect. Otherwise, if the fruits before type 4 are used up, will type 5 fruit be used?"
"Okay then! Go ahead and try it!"
After the door was locked, the two entered the space.
After trying it several times, the result is that adding four drops per kilogram of liquor is similar to type 2, and adding eight drops is similar to type 4 fruit wine.
Zhou Xiang nodded after hearing the results of his experiment and said, "Not bad, we can continue to fool around. I'll do the same with all my future fruit wines, using Type 5 fruits instead."
"Okay! Then I have to go out and buy some wine now. We don't have enough white wine. Let's keep the ones we've brewed and add them to juice to drink at home!"
"First, load the Type 5 juice and go out. You can operate it yourself in the trunk. If you always drag me along, you'll be exposed."
"Yeah! I'll bring some dried fruit back to my parents, then go back home and take a look around to set up some cover."
"Okay! Buy some more wine and some jars. You haven't pickled the eggs yet!"
“Yes, yes!”
Ling Ran began to prepare things in his ring.
When the two went downstairs, the outside world had no idea of the time difference at all. It seemed as if they had just gone upstairs and then went down again.
Ling Ran drove out. Zhou Xiang didn't want to go to the living room to accompany him, but the tea had already been prepared, so Tang Ganwen went with him.
Ling Ran moved very quickly. He went home, put down his things, told his mother that today's trip was just a cover, and then hurried to buy things.
Put the wine on the back seat and the jars in the trunk, and you don’t need anyone’s help to move them.
He parked the car in the front yard and started working. He waved to Xia Fei who was walking over, and Xia Fei went back to the dormitory.
He left three boxes of wine in the back seat, collected the jars in the trunk, and moved the wine back into the trunk.
Seeing Ling Ran coming back, the old man asked if he had brought his wine. Ling Ran nodded, "It's already in the trunk."
"Okay, okay! Where are the things you're going to hand in?"
Ling Ran glanced at the captain, and it must be him who asked through the old leader.
"Captain, are you planning to transport it in that jeep?"
Tang Ganwen shook his head, "The helicopter is waiting in the city."
"You're really anxious."
"You have to be anxious! You know the situation in the team."
"I'll transport it to the city when it gets dark. I'll give you the address after I've made all the arrangements."
"Okay!" Today's business was settled, and Tang Ganwen felt relieved.
Zhou Quan carefully prepared a table full of dishes, and the round table was put into use again. The old leader looked at the table full of home-cooked dishes and praised Zhou Quan's cooking skills!
Zhou Quanle was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "Just enjoy your meal!"
The old leader lamented that the days with wine and meat are the real life!
Zhou Quan didn't dare to say anything. This man's aura was even more powerful than Old Man Xiao's. There must be a reason why alcohol and meat were restricted.
Seeing Zhou Quan's cautious attitude, the old leader couldn't help but feel even more angry at the incompetent Jiang Xing'an. This eldest son-in-law is not a bad person!
Alas! There is no regret medicine in the world. Moreover, Jiang Weihua's existence cannot be erased. That guy is innocent and has made a great contribution.
We can only blame Jiang Xing'an for being confused. If he had divorced and ended his previous marriage openly, there wouldn't be so much resentment and hatred!
He kept smiling and continued drinking and chatting about family matters, and Zhou Quan took over.
At this time, Tang Ganwen was concentrating on eating. He understood what his old leader meant. Anyway, he would definitely be criticized if he went back after leaving. It was better to eat and drink to his heart's content. The Zhou family's food was really delicious.
After eating and drinking, Tang Ganwen urged the old leader to leave. The old leader no longer made things difficult for him and stood up to say goodbye.
Ling Ran opened the trunk and transferred the three boxes of wine into the jeep.
Looking at the departing jeep, Ling Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Next time there was something good, he would rather deliver it himself than have the captain come to the Zhou family to pick it up. It was too stressful.
