Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 88: Unexpected Discovery ( 2 )

Picking up his chopsticks, Lu Qianxuan tried the braised innards. He chewed slowly with an expressionless face.

Standing beside him, Cook Li’s palms were sweating. When he thought that the General disliked the dish, he saw him pick up another piece of braised innards and eat it.

Everyone waited with curiosity. After he ate two pieces of braised innards, Lu Qianxuan tried the stir-fried soybean pulp. After he had a taste, he placed his chopsticks down and said, "Guard, summon Fu Chen’an."

"Understood." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

When Gao Yan heard this, he stood up and cupped his fists. As he bowed, he said, "General, as Fu Chen’an’s supervisor, it’s my fault for failing to—"

Before he finished his words, Lu Qianxuan raised his hand and interrupted him. "Gao Yan, what makes you think that this General summoned him for punishment?"

Hearing this, Gao Yan was taken aback. After a moment, he asked, "If it’s not for punishment, then..."

"Battalion Commander Gao, you only need to wait. When he comes, you will eventually know," Wen Liyan said with a smile.

Since the General was not angry, Gao Yan felt relieved and sat down. Ten minutes later, the guard returned, followed by Fu Chen’an.

When he entered the tent, he was surprised to see so many leaders present. He was only able to take a quick glance before he knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and bowed to the General. "This subordinate, Fu Chen’an, greets the General."

Lu Qianxuan raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities."

Standing up, Fu Chen’an cupped his fists and asked, "What order does the General have for me?"

"I heard that these two dishes were made by your wife. Is that true?"

Hearing this, Fu Chen’an didn’t dare to conceal the truth and replied honestly, "It’s true."

Lu Qianxuan nodded and said, "Your wife has good cooking skills. This is the first time I’ve tried pork innards. Not only were they delicious, but they also didn’t have any smell."

When he heard this, Fu Chen’an could guess the General’s intention. Since his wife told him to share the braised innards with his brothers, he knew that he couldn’t avoid this situation.

Since that was the case, it was better to hand over the cleaning process to the General and contribute to the army. Reaching this conclusion, he said, "Reporting to the General, my wife used a special method to clean the innards and remove the smell."

After he said this, everyone exchanged glances when they saw that the General was smiling.

Without the need for anyone to remind him, Fu Chen’an knelt down and said, "This subordinate is willing to hand over the secret method and contribute to the White Tiger Army."

As soon as he finished his words, Lu Qianxuan’s smile deepened, and he personally helped him up. For someone of his rank, being able to meet the General was already an honor, let alone being helped up by him personally.

Although he was flattered by the favor, Fu Chen’an’s face remained expressionless. Seeing his composure, Lu Qianxuan nodded in appreciation.

Patting his shoulder, he said, "I know that I didn’t judge you wrongly. You are indeed a fortunate person."

"It’s all thanks to my wife for bringing me this blessing," Fu Chen’an replied.

Hearing this, Lu Qianxuan knew that he had a good relationship with his wife. Since he had just rewarded him, he didn’t give him any reward this time, but he kept his contribution in mind.

After the brief conversation, Fu Chen’an left the tent and followed Cook Li to his tent.

While the General and the high-ranking military officers were enjoying the generous meal, he retold the method of how to clean the innards.

Sitting behind the desk, Cook Li’s disciple recorded the method with amazement. He kept nodding while writing. When he was done, he said, "I never thought of using vinegar to remove the smell or using flour to remove the slime."

Reading the paper, Cook Li replied, "Both flour and vinegar are not cheap. What’s more, innards are known to be inedible. No one would think of eating innards, let alone developing a method to clean them."

When the ink dried, Cook Li folded the paper carefully and put it in his clothes. Turning to Fu Chen’an, he cupped his fists and asked, "Squad Leader Fu, I wonder if it’s possible for you to demonstrate how to clean the innards when we buy some later?"

Returning the bow, Fu Chen’an agreed immediately. "Cook Li, if you need my help, just send someone to inform me. I will gladly help you."

"Thank you."

After they exchanged some pleasantries, Cook Li asked his disciple to prepare a food box. Inside were a small bowl of braised innards, a small bowl of stir-fried soybean pulp, three big steamed buns, a bowl of vegetable soup, and several dishes served in the cafeteria.

It was already past lunchtime, and most of the food was gone. If he went to the cafeteria, he wouldn’t be able to get anything. So, Fu Chen’an didn’t refuse and left with the food box.

When he returned to his tent, everyone was waiting for him. Seeing the food box in his hand, Xiao Wei asked, "Chen’an, I heard that you were summoned by the General. Is everything alright?"

Fu Chen’an nodded but didn’t explain the details. Since he didn’t want to tell them, they didn’t insist on asking. Who knew if the General had given him a secret military order?

If they insisted on finding out the details and it involved a military order, they would be charged with the crime of spying. They were not that foolish to risk their future for some gossip.

Fu Chen’an didn’t care about what they were thinking and sat on his bed. He didn’t take out the dishes from the food box and ate in silence.

Thanks to the dishes he added to the menu, everyone now had a good impression of him.
