Chapter 140
Chief Meng doesn't think he is a picky eater.
He didn't have high requirements for food.
But eating habits are easy to change, especially after eating delicious food.
It's hard to eat simple meals.
He used to like the fried potatoes made by the aunt in the police station cafeteria.
But now... he has no appetite at all. He has been in a state of half-hunger these past few days. In addition, he has to do a lot of work every day and is so busy that he feels he has lost several pounds.
Not long after the call was connected, Jiang Chen's voice came from the other end.
Everyone in the police station fell silent.
They stared at Chief Meng with anticipation.
""Jiang Chen?"
Chief Meng couldn't help asking,"When will you come back? I tell you, our police station can't live without you."
"You don’t know how miserable we were during the"407" period when you were away!"
"If you don't come back, the prisoners will be hungry. No, no, it's not us who are hungry."
Jiang Chen on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and said,"I'm sorry, Director, I'm a little busy in the countryside, but we've finished it here and will be back soon."
"I will be back to the team tonight"
"Really?"
Meng Haiyang was a little excited and stood up from his chair.
The original decadence on his face was swept away, replaced by incomparable excitement.
His eyes were shining.
"That's right."
Jiang Chen replied:"We'll be at the police station in about half an hour."
""Okay, okay."
Meng Haiyang said,"What are you going to cook for the prisoners tonight?"
Even the stir-fried cabbage or shredded potatoes made by Jiang Chen are comparable to the big fish and meat from other places.
This is the benefit of having great cooking skills. Any ingredient can be transformed into something magical.
"Let's have some stir-fried meat, cabbage and Chinese cabbage!"
Thinking of Jiang Chen's cooking skills, Director Meng couldn't help drooling.
He quickly said,"No problem, Chef Jiang... Can you give us a meal separately? We can give you a red envelope"
"
Jiang Chen replied:"It's okay to add food, but there's no need for red envelopes. We have nothing to do when we go back anyway.""
"Thank you!"
Seeing Director Meng's smile, everyone could guess what the final result would be.
Everyone couldn't help showing excitement.
They had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally Jiang Chen came back.
"Brothers."
Director Meng said:"We have solved many cases and arrested many thieves in the past few days. Thank you for your hard work recently."
"Now go out and buy groceries for me, and buy whatever you like to eat!"
"Chef Xiao Jiang is about to make his comeback, and we must give him a good meal!"
"Just consider it as a reward for everyone’s hard work during this period!"
""Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison and left the office.
Director Meng suddenly felt that the weather outside had become much clearer.
……
Looking at the dark food in the bowl, Lao Qiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Damn it!
Can anyone tell him what's going on?
Why did the food standard drop so much all of a sudden?
Could it be that Chef Xiao Jiang is done with his job?
Has he resigned?
Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible.
With Chef Xiao Jiang's superb cooking skills, he can earn at least tens of thousands a month by getting a job in any restaurant. Even if he cooks for big banquets in the countryside, people will not be stingy with his cooking skills.
The thank-you fee can be tens of thousands a month.
But in the police station... the income must not be that good.
"Brother Qiang, why don't you eat?"
An inmate next to Lao Qiang couldn't help but say,"I think the food here is pretty good."
This brother is called Xiao Ma. He just came in not long ago and didn't have the chance to taste Jiang Chen's superb cooking skills. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The reason why he came in was somewhat sympathetic.
His girlfriend was insulted by someone else. He was so angry at the time that he went to argue with the person who insulted his girlfriend.
As a result, the guy not only did not repent, but also hired someone to beat him up. He also threatened and warned Xiao Ma not to call the police, otherwise he would kill his whole family.
Xiao Ma was really angry at the time.[]
Without saying a word, he picked up a brick, cracked the man's head, and beat him half to death.
In the end, the man paid the price, and Xiao Ma was sentenced to five years in prison.
The day he went to prison, Jiang Chen happened to go to the countryside to prepare a big banquet.
Therefore, he had no chance to taste the food cooked by Jiang Chen.
Although the food cooked by the new chef in Prison No. 2 tastes okay, it is far inferior to that cooked by Jiang Chen.
Before Xiao Ma came in, he always heard people talk about how bad the food in prison tasted.
Or is it that steamed buns can be used as hammers and fried dough sticks can be used as steel bars ?.......
But... after entering, Xiao Ma felt that the taste seemed to be okay.
Not as exaggerated as they said.
""Little brother."
Lao Qiang patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder and said,"I think you have never eaten anything really delicious, so you say that."
"If you have tasted the cooking skills of our chef Xiao Jiang, you will feel that what we eat now is not even as good as dog food!"
No way?"
Xiao Ma was a little puzzled.
He touched his head and said,"Brother Qiang, isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"
"Exaggeration?"
Lao Qiang couldn't help but said:"Do you know the Bat Thief?"
"Of course I know."
The Bat Thief, a well-known thief in the Ming Dynasty, is well-known to everyone. He has been roaming the world for decades and has stolen many things.
Who doesn't know his name?
Xiao Ma asked,"Any questions?"
"He's my boss, do you know why he got caught? It was all because I betrayed him!"
He patted his chest while saying this, his face full of pride.
Xiao Ma was stunned. Is this... worth being proud of?
"Why did I betray my boss at that time?"
Xiao Ma shook his head in confusion.
"I was attracted by the cooking skills of our chef Xiao Jiang."
"The food he cooked tasted great. At that time, I was not in this prison, but in another prison. I only had half a year left before I was released."
"I felt so bad when I thought that I couldn't eat the food cooked by Chef Xiao Jiang after I went out. I couldn't fall asleep at night when I lay in bed."
"I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. I almost wanted to cry!"
"Finally, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind to ask my superiors to increase my sentence!"
"They didn't agree to my request, so I had to betray my boss, and finally came here with great difficulty?"
Xiao Ma was shocked.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of deep surprise and disbelief.
No way?!
Isn't this... too outrageous?!
"There was also a cultural relic theft case that shocked the whole city. It was also because of the help of Chef Xiao Jiang that it was finally solved."
"Why do the prisoners in our prisons study voluntarily during military training every day? Why are they so obedient?"
"Isn't it all because of Chef Xiao Jiang?" The more Xiao Ma listened , the more he found it unbelievable.
This is... so far from Jill's story!
