mysterious forerunner

Chapter 305 [Chef] Hometown

Zhu Li is not a descendant of any "hidden sect" at all, and there is no such thing as a hidden sect in the country today.

Zhang Qingxiang has known this for a long time.

Even the statement about the hidden sect is just a joke.

What Zhang Qingxiang is looking for is precisely something like "Secret Keys of the Hidden Division".

Zhu Li's ancestors were prominent, and they might really be a "sect" or "aristocratic family", and this "Secrets of the Hidden Division" was the foundation of their fortune.

So later on, the family declined, but the family still set strict ancestral precepts: someone in the future generations must learn this secret book.

Zhang Qingxiang guessed: There should be many such families across the country.

But many families do not stick to this type of ancestral precepts.

As a result, these secret skills of our ancestors were gradually lost.

The Zhu Li family are all stubborn. If the mystery hadn't come, they would have learned all the "Secrets of the Hidden Division" and would never have had the chance to use it once in their lifetime.

Who will continue to force their children to learn?

Zhu Li quickly admitted that his family had inheritance, which also stunned Captain Qiu.

Captain Qiu secretly glanced at Zhang Qingxiang in confusion: We have been with Zhu Li for several months, and we have only known each other for a few months, and none of us noticed anything unusual about Zhu Li. How did Zhang Qingxiang know that he was far away in the original city?
Captain Qiu even felt that this Director Zhang was unfathomable!

Zhang Qingxiang was still very candid and asked Zhu Li: "Are you willing to contribute "Secrets of the Hidden Division"? The General Administration will give corresponding rewards - I can guarantee you this, it will definitely satisfy you."

"If you are worried, I can also ask Director Fan to provide a guarantee."

Zhu Li visibly hesitated: "Of course it's not that I can't trust you, my idol, but... this is something passed down from ancestors. When my father taught me, he specifically emphasized that it would never be passed on to others, and even our Zhu family does not pass it on from male to male. female……"

Director Zhang said that I understand it very well. It seems that all family skills in China will have such a restriction?
It seems that without this item, it is not "ancestral" enough.

Zhang Qingxiang said: "We will give you some time to think about it."

Then Zhang Qingxiang came out with Tian Mingkun and Peng Shuangjie. At the door of Zhu Li's office, Fan Yunjie, director of the Xihai Bureau, hurriedly arrived.

"Zhang Ju." Fan Yunjie took the initiative to shake hands: "It's because we are narrow-minded."

Zhang Qingxiang was about to say a few polite words when Zhu Li suddenly came out from behind and said, "Idol, don't think about it, I am willing to dedicate "The Secret of the Hidden Division".

Haha, what era is it, how can there be any rule not to spread the word! The content in this book is true knowledge and should be promoted so that colleagues can learn it. Only when the Secret Security Bureau is stronger can it better protect the people..."

Zhang Qingxiang raised his thumb and said, "I will help you get generous rewards from the General Administration."

Zhu Li chuckled and said, "The rewards from the General Administration don't matter. I want to make a request to my idol, okay?"

"You said."

“I want to take a photo with you and then brag about it on Tieba and in the group!”

Although Zhang Qingxiang was a little embarrassed, he still cooperated to satisfy the "fans" request.

Fan Yunjie and Captain Qiu waited for them to finish their troubles, and then stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "It's time for lunch. Let's go. I'll give Director Zhang a clean slate. This can be regarded as... an apology!"

Zhang Qingxiang waved his hand: "You're welcome..."

"Director Zhang, don't refuse. We don't want to be extravagant or wasteful. We're in the canteen of our provincial bureau." Fan Yunjie said, "The chef in our canteen is a [chef] professional. The food he cooks is very important to our profession." It will be of great benefit.”

Zhang Qingxiang just responded. Tian Mingkun and Peng Shuangjie behind him suddenly made a sad face: We are all on a business trip, can we still escape the murderous hands of Deng Wanhong and others?

Fan Yunjie already knows that these two are not ordinary "followers", they have chosen the eighteen elites of our Xihai Bureau!
Of course you cannot ignore their opinions.

So Fan Yunjie was very surprised and asked: "Why do the two young comrades have such expressions..."

Tian Mingkun said angrily: "Our former city bureau's canteen also had a fourth-level [chef], but the cooking was terrible!"

Fan Yunjie was stunned at first. There was actually a [Chef] in the former city bureau, and he was at the fourth level! Ahead of us again.

But then he heard that "cooking is unpalatable", Fan Yunjie finally regained some confidence: "Our [chef] cooks very delicious food, no worse than the chefs of five-star hotels." He was so busy boasting that he didn't notice the people on the side. Zhang Qingxiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately had the "evil thought" of poaching!
You can't blame me, it's really rare for a [chef] to cook delicious food.

"Okay, then let's bother you for a while." Zhang Qingxiang smiled.

……

The office conditions in Xihai Province are actually better than those in the original city.

The building of their provincial bureau is brand new. After asking, I found out that it was originally an office building that had just been built by the Public Security Bureau and was used directly.

There are a large number of Secret Security Bureau agents in Xihai Province who were transferred from the Public Security Bureau.

The Public Security Bureau no longer has this group of people, and the previous office space is sufficient, so this building is no longer needed. The canteen is on the top floor, with several private rooms for receptions set up in the corners.

Chen Guozi, the agency chef, is in his forties, short and fat, with a dark face.

To be honest, he looks like he should be a cook.

As a professional, he was only at the second level, but with a meal of twelve dishes, Zhang Qingxiang and the three of them had enough to eat.

Tian Mingkun touched his belly and worried: "Tongtong should dislike me for being fat when I go back."

"Bah!" Peng Shuangjie spat at him.

"The director told me before that there are [chefs] who cook delicious food in this world. I was very doubtful." After Tian Mingkun drank a few glasses of wine, he pulled Captain Qiu to talk: "You don't know, we That [chef] makes more food than the dogs in the bureau eat!”

"Hahaha!" Captain Qiu burst into laughter.

Chen Guozi took off her apron and joined in. She said with a playful smile: "Director Fan, Captain Qiu, I'll have a few drinks with the guests."

Director Fan was helpless: "You have to change your problem! Director Zhang is a leader who cares about the overall situation. Is he willing to drink with you..."

Zhang Qingxiang smiled and waved: "Master Chen, sit down quickly. Lao Tian, ​​pour the wine."

Chen Guozi felt that Beier had dignity, so she happily fucked three of them first.

Peng Shuangjie took the initiative to have a drink with him and raised his thumb: "Master Chen, this is your craft!"

Chen Guozi was quite proud and drank up the wine in the glass with a slurp.

"Our village has had cooks since ancient times." Chen Guozi pointed at Fan Yunjie and Captain Qiu: "Board Fan and the locals in Xihai Province know this."

Fan Yunche nodded: "Yes, Master Chen's ancestral home is Huayun County, which is the hometown of famous chefs in Xihai Province."

Chen Guozi: "Our Hetou Village is the birthplace of chefs in Huayun County. It is written in the genealogy of our village that about four hundred years ago, several young men in the village could not survive and went out. I ran all the way east, and after arriving in the capital, I started working as a waiter in a restaurant. Through hard work and hard work, I learned good cooking skills. When I returned to my hometown when I was fifty, I passed on this skill..."

He was telling some ancient stories, while Peng Shuangjie poured him wine beside him.

Master Chen was indeed a greedy drinker. Peng Shuangjie poured it full, but within half a minute, he drank it all with a slurp.

In the blink of an eye, half a pound of white wine was consumed. Chen Guozi's face was red, and instead of being drunk, he became more and more interested: "Zhang Ju, sit down for a while, I will show you my skills today!"

Captain Qiu's eyes lit up: "What the hell, Lao Chen is going to show off his ability to keep the bottom of the box today?"

"Hehehe!" Chen Guozi smiled and said, "You took advantage of Zhang Ju today."

Zhang Qingxiang also became interested: "What is your ability to keep the bottom of the box?"

Captain Qiu drooled: "Master Chen, go ahead and let me introduce you to Director Zhang."

"Okay."

After Chen Guozi left, Captain Qiu said: "Master Chen is very good at cooking fish! The dish he puts on the bottom of the box is called [Dragon Palace Fish Soup]. Every time he makes it, he drives everyone out of the kitchen. Never let anyone peek.

But that smell..."

Captain Qiu patted the table gently: "Absolutely awesome! The last time I had it was when Director Fan took office as the director of the provincial bureau."

Fan Yunjie also smiled and said: "Master Chen doesn't just wait and see what others do. He is stubborn. Today he just got along with you three, Director Zhang."

Tian Mingkun was already full, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I think I can still eat half a fish."

Zhang Qingxiang smiled and nodded: "I'm really looking forward to it."

Captain Qiu picked up the wine glass: "Come on, let's drink first."

According to the rules, of course there should be no alcohol during this meal. However, the system's restrictions on the Secret Security Bureau will be much looser.

To put it bluntly, everyone keeps their heads in their belts all day long and is under huge psychological pressure. What's wrong with drinking some wine to relieve it?
After waiting for half an hour, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Chen Guozi came in with a smile carrying a large plate.

An aroma that made people feel excited hit his face, and Peng Shuangjie subconsciously picked up the chopsticks. The aroma seemed to have some kind of magic power, making him even forget that Zhang Ju and Fan Ju should take off the chopsticks first.

"Come on, let's have a try." Chen Guozi said and put the plate of [Dragon Palace Fish Soup] on the table.

Fan Yunjie, Captain Qiu, Tian Mingkun, and Peng Shuangjie inserted their chopsticks almost at the same time.

Everyone didn't mind when their chopsticks touched each other, and each of them grabbed a big piece and put it into his own bowl.

Chen Guozi looked at Zhang Qingxiang who was sitting still in surprise: "Zhang Ju, don't you want to eat?"
