Chapter 323: After the modification: Chapter 323 Changes Happened
Fan Biao’s impression of Wu Xiaoyu had just started to change. Now seeing him suddenly ntion the village’s shiitake mushroom sauce, he couldn’t help but be curious and asked, “Wu Xiaoyu, this…”
Wu Xiaoyu knew the doubts of everyone present and smiled broadly, saying frankly, “The shiitake mushroom sauce factory in our village was opened by !”
The quartermaster was not surprised when he heard this. Instead, he snorted contemptuously, confirming his suspicion that Wu Xiaoyu was using the excuse of the bad food to promote his own shiitake mushroom sauce.
Wu Xiaoyu’s words made the quartermaster and Fan Biao even more astonished. Was this kid really trying to sell his own product?
You were hired by Mu Shizhang to help us with the training in the Second Company; how can you take advantage of your position for personal gain?
“Kid, I’ve seen people like you before! But you’re the first one to manage to sneak into the base! Tell , how did you get in?” The quartermaster questioned arrogantly.
Wu Xiaoyu glanced at Fan Biao, signaling him to explain on his behalf. But Fan Biao thought Wu Xiaoyu was exploiting his position for personal gain and ignored him, focusing on his al instead.
Other warriors saw that the squadron leader wasn’t speaking up for Wu Xiaoyu, so they also ignored the situation and ate their food quietly.
Fortunately, the deputy squadron leader was a big-picture thinker. Though he didn’t understand or agree with Wu Xiaoyu’s actions, he still spoke up to prevent him from being accused of trespassing into a military area. “Quartermaster, he was invited by the Second Company as an instructor!”
“Instructor? Why isn’t he wearing a uniform?” the quartermaster questioned.
Wu Xiaoyu responded ekly, “I’m not a soldier. I’m an external fighting instructor hired by the Second Company!”
An external instructor? The quartermaster couldn’t help but be suspicious. Hiring an outsider is rare in the military, and the Second Company is a special operations unit—why would they bring in an outsider to instruct them?
Moreover, this kid looked only around twenty years old. What skills could he possibly have? And how dare he guide the Second Company in combat training? This is clearly a lie!
Could it be that the Second Company brought him in secretly? That’s not supposed to happen! They know it’s a breach of discipline!
The quartermaster re-evaluated Wu Xiaoyu. He noticed that although Wu Xiaoyu was burly with well-developed muscles, it was unlikely he could be an instructor for the Second Company.
“Fan Squadron, is this really the instructor your Second Company hired? Bringing an outsider into the training base without authorization is a breach of discipline. You must know that!” The quartermaster scolded Fan Biao nacingly.
Fan Biao, whose rank was higher than the quartermaster’s, was naturally upset by his scolding and retorted angrily:
“I’m not an idiot! I don’t need your reminder! He was personally invited by Mu Shizhang. If you don’t believe , call him and ask!”
Mu… Mu Shizhang? The quartermaster was stunned. Why would Mu Shizhang invite soone so young to train the Second Company?
What’s more, he’s even trying to promote his own shiitake mushroom sauce in the base’s dining hall. That’s outrageous! Was Mu Shizhang fooled by him, or did he allow this behavior?
Seeing the quartermaster’s fear of Mu Zhuangfei, Wu Xiaoyu beca more confident and explained, “I’m not exploiting my position for personal gain; I just think your food is genuinely awful!”
The bad taste of the food in the base dining hall was a fact. But this big pot of food was just like that. Do you think a shiitake mushroom sauce can transform it? Do you take for a three-year-old?
The quartermaster conceded, “The food in the dining hall is bad; I’ll review the issue and urge the cooking squad to improve their skills. But you don’t need to ntion your shiitake mushroom sauce again!”
Wu Xiaoyu dared to swear that his criticism of the dining hall’s food was genuinely to ensure the warriors could eat delicious food and not to promote his own shiitake mushroom sauce.
But since his shiitake mushroom sauce really had the power to make a miraculous transformation, should he stop just because it was produced by him?
“Here’s the deal! I’ll make so shiitake mushroom sauce in your kitchen on the spot. You can taste it. If it doesn’t improve the food, I’ll apologize to every mber of your cooking squad!” Wu Xiaoyu proposed.
Fan Biao and the deputy squadron leader felt awkward hearing Wu Xiaoyu’s proposal. Wu Xiaoyu only ca to the base once or twice a week, but the Second Company was there almost every day.
If he ssed up, not only would he be laughed at by the quartermaster, but it would also implicate the brothers of the Second Company!
The quartermaster, seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s confidence, beca even more furious. An unscrupulous vendor and conman like you dare to make a bet with ?
“Fine! I agree! If your shiitake mushroom sauce is useless, not only do you have to apologize to the cooking squad mbers, but also eat all of today’s leftover food, deal?” The quartermaster threatened aggressively.
Today’s leftovers? Fan Biao and the others couldn’t help but feel anxious for Wu Xiaoyu. The freshly made food was already so bad, so the leftovers must be even worse.
Wu Xiaoyu confidently replied, “Deal! Lead the way…”
The warriors, hearing that Wu Xiaoyu was really making a bet with the quartermaster, hurriedly gobbled up their food and then looked at Fan Biao with eyes full of anticipation.
Fan Biao, also interested in the bet between Wu Xiaoyu and the quartermaster, told everyone, “Let’s go and take a look together!”
The warriors of the Second Company started cheering and followed Fan Biao, charging towards the kitchen with great enthusiasm.
Other units dining in the hall were also very curious and wanted to see what was happening but were ordered to return.
As Wu Xiaoyu and his party arrived at the kitchen, they naturally aroused the curiosity of the cooking squad. What was going on?
The squad leader ran up to the quartermaster and asked, “Quartermaster, what are they doing?”
The quartermaster glanced at Wu Xiaoyu with disdain and laughed, “He’s here to ruin your livelihood! He wants to make shiitake mushroom sauce, so get the ingredients ready!”
The squad leader, hearing this, glanced at Wu Xiaoyu. Seeing that he was just a young guy, he sarcastically said, “Alright! I’ll get the ingredients ready right away!”
The cooking squad mbers, although not fully aware of what had just happened, could already guess most of it from the quartermaster’s attitude.
This kid must have complained about the food being bad and annoyed the quartermaster!
The cooking squad mbers all stared at Wu Xiaoyu with mocking faces, waiting to see how he would make a fool of himself.
Soon, the squad leader had prepared all the materials needed to make the shiitake mushroom sauce.
Wu Xiaoyu glanced at the shiitake mushrooms and noticed that these were artificially cultivated, quite different from his own, but with the skills passed down from the Fourth Grandma, the sauce wouldn’t be too bad.
Wu Xiaoyu rolled up his sleeves and began making the shiitake mushroom sauce, while the quartermaster continued to look at him with disdain.
However, when Wu Xiaoyu finished stir-frying the lean at and began stir-frying the mushrooms, the quartermaster’s expression started to change.
As a second-level chef, he could already see sothing extraordinary in Wu Xiaoyu’s technique.
Although the steps Wu Xiaoyu took in making the shiitake mushroom sauce were very ordinary, the way he stir-fried the lean at and mushrooms was clearly several tis better than average.
Fan Biao, seeing that Wu Xiaoyu was really making shiitake mushroom sauce and doing it skillfully, beca even more curious about him.
This kid, with his fighting skills, couldn’t be defeated even by soone like Fan Biao, who had extensive combat experience. And now… he turned out to be a cook?
