Return to the month before the end of the world

Chapter 128 Delicious Dumplings

The next morning, Wang Jun appeared quietly outside the courtyard, accompanied by Sun Chenglong, the director of the Logistics Department.

After hearing the news, Zhan Beizun and Xiao Chan immediately came out to greet them. They didn't expect the other party to come so early.

After coming to the living room and sitting down, Song Jia left the room with a few cups of tea and closed the door.

"I want to apologize to you two for what happened yesterday. The captain of the city guard has been dismissed from his post, and several parties involved have also been expelled from Chaoyang City." Wang Jun spoke first.

"The city lord is too polite. We have nothing to lose. Let him pass by." Xiao Chan said with a smile.

"You two are worthy of being a dragon and a phoenix among men. Your heart is really admirable." Wang Jun said politely.

"No, no, this is nothing more than a trivial matter."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Actually, I came here this time to seek the City Lord's opinion on something."

"Oh, let's hear it. If I can help, I will definitely agree." Wang Jun said with a smile.

"The first thing is that I plan to open a store in Chaoyang City. Is it feasible?"

"Of course there is no problem with this. Chaoyang City fully supports this." Wang Jun said immediately.

"Chief Xiao, I wonder if we can get involved in this store?" Sun Chenglong coughed and said.

"Oh, I wonder if Director Sun has any advice?" Xiao Chan said with a smile.

Sun Chenglong waved his hands hurriedly, not wanting to offend Xiao Chan and the other two, and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. There is a shortage of food in the city now, so I have no choice but to take this step."

"That may disappoint Director Sun. We have already reached a cooperation with Taohuayuan, and Chaoyang City will not have too much weight." Zhan Beizun said at the right time.

Why didn't he understand the other party's little calculations and want to take advantage without spending a penny? How could there be such a good thing in the world?

The meaning of these words is very direct. If you allow it, then do business well. If you insist on getting involved, then break it up and no one can get any benefits.

Sun Chenglong suddenly became anxious. Who made Taohuayuan his biggest benefactor?

Although other forces in Chaoyang City have bought more or less things from him, the bulk of them still came from the transaction with Xiao Chan.

If the business goes bad, where can he find such a generous financial backer?

"General Zhan misunderstood. I accidentally said nonsense just now. Please don't take it to heart."

Zhan Beizun snorted and said nothing, sitting there quietly again.

"Chief Xiao, I wonder what position you have your eye on?"

"I just arrived yesterday and haven't investigated the matter yet. I wonder what Director Sun thinks?" Xiao Chan said with a smile.

Sun Chenglong gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know something, Chief Xiao. Two buildings have been recently completed. The location is very good. If Chief Xiao is interested, you can go and take a look. The price is easy to negotiate."

"Are they the two buildings on Jianye Street?" Zhan Beizun asked.

"Yes, it's there."

Zhan Beizun turned to Xiao Chan and introduced: "Jianye Street is very close to the city center and has a good flow of people. It is indeed suitable for opening a shop. If you are interested, you may want to go and have a look."

"Okay, I don't know what the price is. I didn't bring much food with me this time."

Sun Chenglong hurriedly said: "If I still believe you, you can pay the debt first and just send it over later."

"Okay, then I'll check it out another day. If it's suitable, I'll rent both buildings."

"Two buildings?"

"Director Sun, do you have any questions?"

Sun Chenglong hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not true, I'm just a little curious."

"This is the second thing I want to say. I plan to set up a mercenary association to help the army clean up the alien beasts in the periphery."

Sun Chenglong immediately looked at Wang Jun, who still needed a nod for this matter.

"I wonder what Chief Xiao plans to do?"

"City Lord, here's what I think. It would be a huge waste to have the army go out to exterminate alien beasts every day. At this time, a new organization is needed to shoulder this responsibility."

"The Mercenary Association is very suitable. On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure on the army and maintain combat effectiveness. On the other hand, it can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in the city." Xiao Chan explained.

"It makes sense. It's indeed a good idea, but this matter has a huge impact. I need to think about it carefully." Wang Jun said awkwardly.

"No problem at all."

Wang Jun immediately changed the subject and moved it to other aspects.

Near noon, Xiao Chan prepared a sumptuous lunch.

There were not only barbecues, but also dumplings, fruits and other food, which made Wang Jun and Sun Chenglong stunned.

After eating and drinking, the two of them felt more satisfied than ever before. This is life.

"Chief Xiao, do you still have these foods?"

"There are not many dumplings left. These are leftovers from the Spring Festival some time ago. We prepared hundreds of thousands of dumplings at that time, but in the end there were some leftovers that were not finished."

Sun Chenglong was instantly confused. He originally thought it was Xiao Chan's greed, but he didn't expect it was a welfare for the whole people.

Wang Jun was also shocked. What kind of life did the people of Taohuayuan live?

"Chief Xiao, I don't know how many dumplings are left. I want to buy some."

"There's not much left. If you two like it, you can give some as a gift." Xiao Chan said.

"Thank you so much, Chief Xiao."

"You're welcome."

On the way back, Wang Jun suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "Jackie Chan, what do you think of the Mercenary Association's proposal?"

Sun Chenglong was shocked, hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't know much about this aspect. The city lord must have his own concerns."

Wang Jun sighed and said: "There is a peach blossom garden and a military. If there is another mercenary guild, Chaoyang City will be in chaos."

Sun Chenglong hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. You still need to be cautious about this kind of thing.

After returning home, Sun Chenglong handed the dumplings he brought back to his wife.

"Where did you get the dumplings? Just tell me if you want to eat them." My wife said complainingly.

"This is different. These are dumplings brought by Chief Xiao from Peach Blossom Spring. They are not only stuffed with meat, but also filled with various vegetables. They will definitely make you have endless aftertaste."

"I asked you, why are you so excited when mentioning Peach Blossom Spring? Do you think you are from Peach Blossom Spring?"

"Don't talk nonsense. The guy from Taohuayuan and the guy from the military are boyfriend and girlfriend. It's a pity that some people can't see clearly."

"You mean the one above?"

"It's not him or anyone else. He always wants to check and balance, and I'm afraid he will do something stupid."

"No way."

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see. You'll know in a few days. Let's eat it together tonight. Then you'll know how delicious it is."

"Okay, I believe you this time. I want to see how delicious the dumplings are."
