Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1027 - 500: Scammer (Part 8)

Qin Huai originally wanted to watch Luo Jun scold people for a while, but Luo Jun's breakdown was just too exciting. Usually, Luo Jun used this status to harshly criticize Chen Huihong, but today the target became Qu Jing, and Luo Jun reached a new level and height in scolding.

Although Qu Jing has been somewhat influenced by Chen Huihong recently, Qu Jing is fundamentally different from Chen Huihong, and their responses differ.

Qu Jing really finds Luo Jun odd, facing Luo Jun's fury, Qu Jing consistently maintains a doctor's demeanor, caring for a patient. Years of medical study and consultations have made Qu Jing's emotions incredibly stable, reaching the supreme state of "you scold, I ask", nearly driving Luo Jun into a rage.

Even though it was hard to let go of such an exciting episode, Qin Huai wanted even more to see Gong Liang's memory.

Qin Huai now experiences discomfort throughout his body if he doesn't immediately look at memories/dreams once obtained.

Seeing Luo Jun still passionately ranting, Qin Huai thought Bi fang wouldn't get mad for a while, stood up, and interrupted Luo Jun's intense tirade: "Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom, Mr. Luo, please continue."

After speaking, Qin Huai quickly left.

All the awake spirits knew what Qin Huai's words meant, seeing their hard day's performance pay off, Luo Jun suddenly wasn't as angry, stopped scolding, and instead crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaned against the back of his chair, raised his chin slightly, and stared at Qu Jing with a standard villain's expression and eyes full of disdain and annoyance.

Qu Jing: ...

The little bird doesn't understand, but the little bird stays silent.

Seeing Luo Jun stopped scolding, Gong Liang quickly attempted to mediate: "Mr. Luo, please calm down, you're not young anymore, don't get angry so easily, it's really bad for your health. Have some tea to relax, I'll pour you whatever tea you'd like."

Luo Jun glanced at Gong Liang, stopped pretending, and in a tone that suggested "you're next unless things go well", said: "Don't say too much, at most 5 minutes. If things go well, you're the next to be scolded."

Gong Liang: ?

Even as a top salesman, Gong Liang was a bit perplexed at this moment.

Gong Liang thought: The rumors are true, Mr. Luo indeed has a strange temper.

But this temper is rather too odd, what he says is quite incomprehensible.

In the bathroom, Qin Huai didn't hear the commotion outside, knowing that from the moment he stood up, everyone present would be waiting for his return, time was tight with a heavy task. Qin Huai immediately opened the game panel, chose [Gong Liang's memory], and selected yes.

[Loading memory——]

.

"Corn, freshly cooked and steaming hot corn, fragrant and sticky corn!"

"Tea eggs, fresh and flavorful tea eggs!"

"Roasted sweet potatoes, fragrant, sweet, delicious, cheap, and filling roasted sweet potatoes!"

The sight of a bustling train station filled him.

Various vendors squeezed onto the platform, selling food to passengers still on the train. Passengers boarding and alighting were tightly packed, with those bringing children, carrying luggage, and separated from their companions...

The din, noise, shouting, crying, calling sounds combined into an indistinguishable cacophony, Qin Huai looked around for a while, finally locating Gong Liang in the crowd dragging two large tarpaulin bags off the train.

To be fair, Gong Liang is quite strong.

Dragging two big tarpaulin bags, Gong Liang exited the train station and found Mr. Chen at the exit who had come to pick him up. Compared to the last time Qin Huai saw him in Gong Liang's memory, Mr. Chen appeared noticeably older this time around, not only were there more wrinkles on his face, but his black hair had started to mix with sparse white hair, yet he looked much more spirited, indicating a comfortable life over the past years.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?" Gong Liang was very surprised to see Mr. Chen, clearly not expecting anyone to pick him up at the train station.

Mr. Chen chuckled, "I'm retired now, just call me Old Chen, now Xiao Gong you're the section chief. I've heard about it, you've gone alone to Qiong Province this time and secured quite a big deal by yourself. I'm retired with nothing to do, heard you're coming back today, so I came to the train station to meet you. Qiong Province is an island, quite far away, must've been exhausting along the way?"

Gong Liang displayed a naive, blissful smile as if he had just joined the workforce: "It was a bit exhausting, took the train then boat, fell sick for a few days as soon as I got to Qiong Province, dazed in the hospital and missed the agreed time. I almost thought this trip would be a failure, but the boss there heard I came specially from Gusu, showed sympathy for my hardship along the way, specially delayed and waited a few more days, that's how I closed the deal."

"Mr. Chen, guess what I brought back from Qiong Province this time?"

"What?" Mr. Chen inquired cooperatively, his gaze falling on the two large tarpaulin bags Gong Liang was dragging.

"Coconuts!"

"What are coconuts?" Mr. Chen asked.

"A fruit from Qiong Province, you can drink it, after drinking the coconut water, eat the coconut flesh, coconut flesh can be pressed for oil, clean coconut shells can serve as bowls for children."

Mr. Chen laughed, "Oh, there's such a good thing, is there? Too bad I retired last year, otherwise I would have gone with you to Qiong Province to see."

Gong Liang untied the drawstring of the tarpaulin bag, revealing the bag full of coconuts inside: "No need to go to Qiong Province, I specially brought them back for everyone. I've asked, these coconuts can last for a while, eating them within the next couple of days should be fine, they won't spoil."

As he spoke, Gong Liang took out two coconuts from the bag and handed them to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, these coconuts are tough, it takes skill to crack them, I'll teach you how to open coconuts when we get back."

"Let's go."
