Chapter 1101: 1079. Iron-blooded Man

If it were any other matter, Brother Xiaodu would simply laugh it off as a joke.

But the Pork Lard Residue was right in front of them, who among these iron-hearted men could resist such temptation?

He nodded solemnly.

"I can eat half a bowl by myself!"

Wow!

Everyone looked at him with bewildered eyes.

There was only one bowl, and it’s the small stainless steel type. They’ve got ten big guys in total; if you eat half a bowl by yourself, what do the rest eat?

Just the northwest wind!

Because of this, Xiaosun stepped forward and directly took the bowl from Song Tan’s hands:

"No need for formality, no need for formality. This is just a small matter, not worth mentioning... Come, come, come, I’ll hold the bowl since it’s heavy."

While they were gathered at the door chatting, suddenly they saw a few strangers squeezing in through the courtyard gate—it was Zhu Xin, who had disappeared at the kitchen door but reappeared quickly!

And following behind them were two middle-aged men. Judging by their looks, they seemed like the same city procurement officers that had come to their home before!

Goodness, they came to eat and drink everything last time and didn’t mention the procurement business at all; now they’re back again ready to start eating without mentioning it either?

Wait!

The ones who came in first should be Princess and their original owners, right? Now that they are all together, could it be that these city procurement officers got transferred to the provincial capital?

Song Tan’s brow twitched, recognizing someone among the few behind him, which made him feel much more familiar, even speaking became more polite.

Of course, there’s a prerequisite for being polite:

"Zhu Xin, if you want to eat Pork Lard Residue, keep your mouth shut and don’t speak."

The power of a chatterbox is known to all, and with Song Tan saying this, even those he brought with him appeared visibly relaxed.

Seeing Zhu Xin badly hurt by this; he wanted to say something, but he was stopped from speaking. Alas!

His desire to speak is irrepressible, unless

——

"Oof!" Someone stuffed a piece of Pork Lard Residue into his mouth.

Taking advantage of that brief moment he was dazed by the aroma, the crowd hoisted him on their shoulders and bustled their way inside!

And Secretary Wang and the leader happened to be right behind them, cheerfully following into the living room.

The few leading people felt doubtful, but everyone exchanged a glance, whispered a few words secretly, and had their own thoughts—

[Who are these two? I don’t recognize them.]

[Haven’t heard, but judging by their manner, they don’t seem to be with us from the armed police side.]

[Could it be, I bet that even though they might have had some training, they seem like leaders from our firefighting system... Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at that mannerism!]

[Don’t you think they look a tad familiar...]

[Indeed a bit familiar, but for now can’t recall—are you still going to eat the Pork Lard Residue or not?]

With delicious food in front, who wants to use their brain to think so much? Just step up and start eating!

Though the leader hesitated somewhat—talking about grabbing food from the rest, what a loss of face it would be!

It would harm his authority, and is very disadvantageous for carrying out his next tasks.

But this dilemma lasted only a moment, as the aunt quickly handed over another plate of Pork Lard Residue:

"I didn’t realize you brought quite a few people, this plate is somewhat scant, let’s give you another plate."

She had a keen eye; Tantan mentioned that the young ones here are all eating government meals, so looking at those well-dressed beside, they definitely must be leaders, right?!

Since the leaders were here, shouldn’t they eat more?

The aunt warmly placed the platter in Secretary Wang’s hands, pointed to a side table nearby: "Eat more, this plate is specially for you. Finish it quickly, it’s not tasty once it cools."

Secretary Wang let out a huge sigh of relief.

If the leader really lowered his dignity to scramble for Pork Lard Residue with them, it would surely mean poor performance on his part.

And the four young lads across looked at the platter before them, then at their small tea table, surrounded by leaders sitting at the four-square side table...

At this moment, everyone exchanged glances, revealing relaxed expressions.

After all, sitting at the same table as the leader, eating doesn’t quite feel the same!

And their leader is peculiar! He arranged for them to be seated together with higher-ups without any prior notice? Now it’s awkward, they don’t even know how to address them.

Especially with delicious food in front... pretending not to know them seems even more appealing.

The entire living room, at this moment, was bustling with activity, with one to two dozen people not noticing anything strange.

Well, that’s how countryside villas are—they focus on being spacious and bright!

Thus, two sets of sofas were placed back-to-back. Facing the TV was a large set of sofas and a big tea table, perfectly suited for Lao Zhu’s group.

And them?

An entire table of old and young all joined hands, chopsticks waving in a lively manner.

Everyone discussed thirty-six strategies, from emotions to physical fitness, from dentures to stomach problems, from life-saving grace to life-saving grace, focusing on the phrase [I must eat one more].

As for the group on the sofa behind, the young fellows who just came in, evidently conquered by the delicious food, in lively chaos sparring and scrambling...

Alas! Compared to their table, that’s mere child’s play.

...

Compared to the bustling downstairs living room, the rooftop on the second floor appeared much more civilized.

Could it not be civilized?

Only two plates of Pork Lard Residue in total, with Lun Chuan getting one exclusively, sweet and salty in a perfect mix, showing utmost delicacy and care.

As for Qin Yun and He Kuang? Although sharing one plate between the two should leave them satisfied, this Pork Lard Residue is a top-notch delicacy, far surpassing yesterday’s meal.

But...

Such obvious favoritism, with these two tagging along for free meals while getting preferred treatment, it was a first-time experience for them!

While chewing on the crispy Pork Lard Residue, Qin Yun honestly remarked:

"Chuan Er, why not tell us about how you rescued the Fairy back then? Just her offering to provide my meals, I could give up half my life!"

Lun Chuan raised an eyebrow at him: "Married men should lower their status—you are no longer valuable."

"Stop with the nauseating words."

On the side, He Kuang couldn’t help but agree: "Giving her half your life... seems like you haven’t knelt enough on the laundry board at home!"

Qin Yun cried out injustice: "Hey! Are you still writers? Isn’t this a commonly used rhetorical device? How would I split my life in half?"

He Kuang chuckled: "I don’t care, but I have split the remaining Pork Lard Residue in half."

Hastily dragging the platter over, Qin Yun glanced at the busy people below the terrace and then looked at Lun Chuan, his expression shifting from odd to gradually joyous—

"Just, Lun Chuan..."

His face became fawning: "Look, among us three, you’re the only single bloke here. Besides, there’s no higher way to repay a life-saving grace... why not offer yourself to her."

"Then we’d become brothers, I’d call her sister-in-law. And whenever there’s good food at the sister-in-law’s place, she’d think of us... wouldn’t that be nice?"
