Chapter 1040

If it were anything else, little Du and the others would just laugh it off as a joke.

But the pork cracklings were right behind them; facing such temptation, what iron-blooded man would dare say he disdained them?

He nodded solemnly.

"I can eat half a basin by myself!"

Good heavens!

Everyone's eyes on him were no longer right.

There was only one basin in total, and it was that kind of large stainless steel basin. With ten big men added together, if you eat half a basin by yourself, what are the rest of the people going to eat?

Drink the northwest wind?

Little Sun therefore stepped forward and directly took the basin from Song Tan's hands:

"You're too polite, you're too polite. This is just a small favor, not worth mentioning... Come, come, come, the basin is heavy, let me carry it for you."

There were two plates of pork cracklings in total, of which Lu Chuan got one all to himself, and it was a mix of sweet and salty, which was simply thoughtful to the extreme.

At this moment, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but reveal a relaxed expression.

And what about Old Zhu and the others?

【Haven't heard. But looking at that posture, it doesn't look like they are from our armed police side.】

Everyone used thirty-six strategies, talking from sentiment to physical fitness, from dentures to stomach problems, from life-saving grace to life-saving grace, focusing on 【You must eat one more】.

A table of old and young went into battle together, chopsticks and hands dancing with great vigor.

"When the time comes, we'll be brothers; you call me brother-in-law. If your family has any good food, keep us in mind... that should be possible, right?"

And the four young guys opposite looked at the plate in front of them, then looked at the small tea table they were surrounding, and the square small side table the leaders were surrounding...

Good heavens, they came to eat and drink last time, and didn't mention a word about procurement when they went back. Today, they actually came uninvited?

He Kuang chuckled: "I don't care, anyway, I split the remaining pork cracklings in two."

Can they be refined?

At this moment, chewing the crunchy pork cracklings in his mouth, Song Tan sighed genuinely:

It's just that the leader was still a bit reserved—snatching things with everyone, how embarrassing is that to say!

Hey! Compared to their table, that's simply child's play.

They were just huddled together talking at the door, when suddenly they saw a few familiar people squeezing in from the courtyard gate—it was Zhu Xin, who had just disappeared at the kitchen door and reappeared so quickly!

No one knows the power of a chatterbox. Once Qin Yun said this, even the few people he brought couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression.

"Just, Lu Chuan..."

"I didn't expect you to have so many people here just now. This plate is a bit small, let me give you another plate."

The few people who came in last should be the original owners of the princess and the others, right? Now that they are all together, could it be that the municipal procurement went through connections and was transferred to the provincial capital?

The aunt enthusiastically put the plate into Secretary Wang's hand and pointed to the small side table on the side: "Eat more, this plate is specifically for you. Eat it tonight. It won't be good if it gets cold."

【If things go wrong, I think he should have also received training; he's probably a leader from our fire department system... tsk tsk tsk, look at that posture!】

【Don't you guys think he looks a bit familiar...】

But that hesitation lasted only for a moment, because the aunt soon handed over another plate of pork cracklings:

With gourmet food in front, who would want to use their brain to think so much! Just rush up and start eating!

Of course, there was a prerequisite before being polite:

As for the sofa behind them, the young guys who just came in were wailing, clearly conquered by the gourmet food, noisily snatching...

Fang Xing hurriedly pulled the plate over, looked at the busy people below the terrace, and at the same time looked at Lu Chuan, his expression changing from strange to gradually joyful—

No way! It's a rural villa, after all, the main selling point is being big and bright!

Seeing Zhu Xin so hurt, he wanted to say something, but was blocked from speaking. Sigh!

Their leader is really something! Why didn't he say in advance that there was an arrangement with the higher-ups? It makes it so awkward now; they don't even know how to address them.

Wait!

After all, sitting at a table with the leader to eat doesn't taste the same!

Being favored so obviously, it's really the first time the two of them have seen such a thing while tagging along for a meal!

He Kuang on the side couldn't help but agree: "Giving him half your life... I think you haven't knelt on the washboard enough at home!"

No one can stop his desire to speak, unless

And following behind them were two middle-aged men. Looking at their appearance, they seem to be the two municipal procurement officers who had been to their house before!

But...

If they really asked the leader to lose face and compete with them for a piece of pork crackling, then their work wouldn't be up to par.

Song Tan cried out in injustice: "Hey! Are you guys still writers? Isn't that a common rhetorical device? Where would I get a life that can be split in two?"

His face became flattering: "Look, of the three of us, you're the only single dog left. Besides, life-saving grace cannot be repaid... why don't you just offer yourself to him."

"Ooh!" Someone stuffed a piece of pork crackling into his mouth.

——

【It is indeed a bit familiar, but I can't remember it right now—are you guys still eating the pork cracklings or not?】

My judgment of people is quite accurate. Tan Tan said that the few young people here are all eating the state's rice, so those official-looking people beside them must be leaders, right?!

The few people in front, although doubtful, exchanged glances, muttered a few words secretly, and each had their own calculations in mind—

Since the leader is here, we must eat more!

And what about Fang Xing and He Kuang? Although the two of them should be satisfied sharing a plate of pork cracklings, these pork cracklings are the ultimate delicacy in the world, far exceeding yesterday's meal.

Especially with gourmet food in front... it's more cost-effective to pretend they don't know each other.

Secretary Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Therefore, the two sofas were placed back-to-back, facing the TV, which was a large sofa and a large tea table, just right for Old Zhu and his group.

Song Tan's eyebrows jumped. She didn't recognize the few people behind her either, but couldn't help feeling much closer to them, so even her tone became more polite.

Compared to the living room downstairs, the terrace on the second floor seemed much more refined.

"Don't say such disgusting things."

And Secretary Wang and the leader happened to be trailing behind them, and also happily followed into the living room.

"Chuan'er, if you just tell me how you saved that fairy back then? As long as you cover my meals, I can give you half my life!"

Taking advantage of the moment he was stunned by the fragrance, everyone hoisted him by the shoulders and rushed in noisily!

Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "A married man should lower his own value—you're already worthless."

【Who are those two? Don't know them.】

It even damaged his dignity, which was very unfavorable for carrying out work later.

And at this moment, the whole living room was noisy, and twenty or thirty people hadn't noticed anything unusual.

"Zhu Xin, if you want to eat pork cracklings, shut your mouth first and don't talk."
