Volume 7: Frost Chapter 3: Double Pets
Special Operations Department Office.
Sun Yu typed on the keyboard intermittently, frowning and sighing from time to time. After more than 20 minutes, the materials were finally finished. He drank a sip of water, turned around and said to Guan Nuo who was sitting next to him: "With the recruitment officer away, the office has become much quieter."
Guan Nuo was playing with his phone. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Yes. But the recruiter should prefer Brother Jiang's side, right? There's more space there."
"Too."
Sun Yu picked up his phone and scrolled through his Moments. He happened to see a short video posted by Jiang You, with Zhao Cai squatting on the cover. He clicked on it and saw Zhao Cai and Jiujiu flying and chasing each other. It was very lively. Sun Yu watched it again and asked Guan Nuo to watch it with him. Then he said, "Why not recruit Jiujiu into the Special Operations Department as well? That way, we don't have to worry about the suspect flying away."
The office door opened.
Sun Yu and Guan Nuo stopped talking and looked forward, and Tang Butian walked in.
"Section Chief."
"Section Chief."
Tang Butian nodded and walked to her seat and sat down.
Guan Nuo turned his chair and said, "Chief, have you checked Jiang Ge's circle of friends? Zhaocai and Jiujiu are fighting."
"A fight broke out?"
"It should be just for fun." Sun Yu explained.
Tang Butian took out his cell phone and flipped to that circle of friends.
Guan Nuo noticed a black scar on the back of her right hand, about the size of a coin , with red edges, as if it had been burned.
shocking.
Guan Nuo blurted out: "Are you injured?"
Tang Butian glanced at the back of her hand.
Before she could speak, Guan Nuo asked again: "Did you get hurt when you summoned Jiujiu?"
"It's not an injury." Tang Butian said.
"Isn't it?" Guan Nuo didn't believe it.
"It's a mark left by the heavenly calamity."
"Does it hurt?"
"fine."
"Have you been to the hospital?" After asking, Guan Nuo immediately realized his mistake and said, "No, no, I wanted to ask if we should go to the research institute, where..."
"No need." Tang Butian rejected it. She said, "I have learned a lot from it. When I fully understand it, it will disappear, and I will be able to break through at least half a realm. This is my opportunity."
"Yeah?"
"You missed it. What a shame."
"I'm glad you're okay. I've made a lot of progress," Guan Nuo said about what he had learned in the past few days at the institute. "Uncle Zhuang said that I've already mastered the art of sealing. We can use it when we encounter a case that requires sealing off the scene."
Tang Butian said: "It's very useful."
"My boxing skills have also improved."
"very good."
"Uncle Zhuang said that although I started late, my foundation is still good, and I used a new technique," Guan Nuo smiled shyly, "and Shan... I am about the same as those who have been practicing since childhood."
Tang Butian glanced at Guan Nuo.
"Chief, don't you believe it?"
Tang Butian was silent for a moment, then she suggested, "You can try to fight with Zhao Cai."
"Recruiting talents?"
"right."
"I, I'll try it next time..."
At this time, the office door was pushed open again.
Wu Yulan walked in with a serious face. After closing the door, she said, "The cause of the supernatural anomaly has been found."
…
Jiang You had just ordered food when he received a call from Tang Butian.
He said to the phone: "Okay... 7:30, right?... I'm having dinner... It's late, I didn't eat anything for lunch..."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xuan said to him, "If you have something to do, do it next time. It must have not been done yet."
"We have to eat," Jiang You put his phone on the table, "There is enough time, or even if there is not enough time, there are other ways."
"Teleport over there?" Yang Xuan was very imaginative.
"Of course not."
"What's the method?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Have you forgotten Chuchu? It's a flying pet."
Yang Xuan didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Jiang You took a sip of lemonade and changed the subject, "The stinky mandarin fish here is pickled from live fish, so the fish meat is very tender and smooth."
"Live fish? In brine?"
"We pickle them after knocking them unconscious. Even after they are unconscious, their internal organs are still working and their bodies are still metabolizing, so they are easier to pickle than dead fish. They can be pickled in two or three days."
"How cruel." Yang Xuan said.
“It’s really delicious.”
As we were talking, the waiter brought the stinky tofu to the table. The plate was square, with six pieces of stinky tofu on each side, one black and one yellow, and two small pots of seasoning in the middle.
Yang Xuan picked up a yellow piece, dipped it in the sauce and took a bite. Then she had an indescribable expression on her face. She said, "I think this is not tofu, but fermented tofu."
“This is fermented tofu.”
Yang Xuan took another bite and said, "It tastes pretty good. I've never eaten this before."
Jiang You picked up a black piece and ate it in one bite.
He said, "It doesn't smell bad. It smells a bit bad if you get close to it. You should eat it at the night market."
"I also think it's a bit strange to eat it as a dish."
"How is Yanjing?" Jiang You asked.
"It's OK. It's just dry. Extremely dry. They told me that it's OK in the summer, but in the winter, when the heating is on, it's like breathing sand if you don't use a humidifier."
“Is it so exaggerated?”
"It's not an exaggeration. I kept drinking water and going to the bathroom, but I was still thirsty," Yang Xuan said as she took a big sip of iced lemon water. "When I just washed my face, I could feel the moisture on my face was disappearing. I quickly applied face cream. I didn't buy body lotion when I first went there, but later I found that it didn't work, so I quickly went to the supermarket and bought a huge jar of Vaseline and applied it on my body."
The stinky mandarin fish was served.
Yang Xuan sniffed it.
Jiang You said: "Try it."
Yang Xuan used chopsticks to pick a piece of meat from the fish.
The meat is smooth and elastic.
Tasty.
The salty taste has a hint of spiciness.
Yang Xuan said: "It's delicious!"
She ate several mouthfuls in a row, and then said, "My next drama salary has arrived, and I have some savings. I want to find a teacher to teach me how to act. It would be best if he could join the crew to teach me, but the crew may not allow it. If it is still a web drama, it may not make sense." "How much does it cost to hire such a teacher?"
"A good class costs 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, I don't plan to hire such a teacher," Yang Xuan dipped the stinky tofu in the fish soup and put it into her mouth. "This training seems to have taught a lot, including lines, shots, and even fighting postures. But I only listened and understood. In fact, I still don't know how to act out a plot. It feels like I'm just scratching the surface." She smiled, "Maybe I'm stupid and can't draw inferences from one example. You have to break it down into pieces, such as how to walk and how to look at the camera. Only in this way can I learn."
"That's right," Jiang You agreed. He said, "I was also trying to lose weight recently. The theory was perfect, but in practice, I ruined my knees."
"What happened to your knee?"
"If you have a meniscus injury, you need to rest."
