The agreed place for the dinner was a two-story small restaurant on the street. Strings of dried chili peppers and corns were hung on the walls. Each table was surrounded by wood and decorated like a kang head.
In the middle of the table is a large iron pot with a circle of corn buns attached to the edge. The thick sauce in the pot is bubbling. Inside is red goose meat, soft and waxy orange potatoes, refreshing bamboo shoots and greasy.
Beans, the portion is very generous.
Three young girls in their early twenties sat around and shared this famous Northeastern dish - goose stewed in an iron pot.
Song Shiyi wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth with a paper towel: "Taking it out individually, the sauce, goose meat, and side dishes are better than here, but when combined together, the goose here is the most delicious."
"Real-name consent!"
Wei Yingxue said with a bulging mouth.
The way she wore sunglasses while eating looked a bit strange at first sight, but because the person sitting opposite also wore sunglasses, it seemed like a small group dress trend.
Song Shiyi, who does not wear glasses, has become a minority here.
Mary put a clean goose wing bone on the plate, then drank the last bit of rice in the bowl with the soup, and finally said: "One more bowl."
Song Shiyi felt relieved.
When it comes to making good food for others, success will bring a sense of recognition and accomplishment, while failure will cause subtle frustration and loss.
Due to her physical condition, she can only review past events by reading her diary.
Therefore, although she strongly recommended this store before and specially marked it in her diary, Song Shiyi still felt a little uneasy due to her lack of memory.
What if that's not the case? What if it just suits my personal taste?
Fortunately, my past self did not lie or exaggerate.
Song Shiyi's trust in the log increased a little more, although all this will be cleared in an hour.
Mary said: "A few days ago, we went to the Great Qin World and met a Forgotten One named Manu..."
After listening to the other party's story, Song Shiyi let out a sigh.
Huang Jia and Mary's schedules are really tight. During the time when they lost contact, they turned out to be in Da Qin.
"Manu..."
Song Shiyi opened her phone and entered her name, but no such person was found.
The high-authority area of the database shows that the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the committee does have formal diplomatic relations with the world called the "Great Qin Empire".
It's just that the relevant content has been classified as "confidential" by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, so it must be authorized by the committee before further viewing.
Song Shiyi saw several public projects in the "Great Qin Empire" column, one of which was "The Kingdom of the West", which immediately caught her attention.
It is written in the details of this project.
…
Excavation unit: Qin Empire Archguard Bureau, Special Inspection Committee
Project leaders: Xu Fu (Arch Guards Department), Ding Hanzhen (Committee)
…
Song Shiyi was a little surprised.
Teacher Zao is actually one of the people in charge.
According to the outline description in the details, this project has been approved and announced as early as five months ago, and independent recruitment is being carried out internally. But so far, the members of the project are all people from the Department of Public Health, and the committee
There is only Teacher Zao.
Song Shiyi read the public content line by line and gradually understood it.
"The Kingdom of the West" is dominated by the Defense Department, and the committee is the co-organizer, serving more as consultants and technical support.
No matter what results can be achieved, the main beneficiary will be the Guards Department.
Due to the innate role positioning, coupled with the fact that the time was uncertain and the information was not transparent, few people took the initiative to sign up.
I don't know what the progress is now.
Song Shiyi suddenly became curious.
"I went to make a phone call."
She got up and walked to a quiet area in the corridor outside and dialed the number.
"Hello, Teacher Zao."
A cheerful old man's voice came from the mobile phone: "Xiao Song, what's wrong?"
"Are you interested in the West Pole Country project? I'm short of people here. If you and that little Wei have nothing to do, come over together. We don't have enough manpower. Now I'm the only old man to go there, and I can't save face."
Song Shiyi did not dare to agree casually for others, so she said: "I am free recently. If there is no arrangement from the bureau, I will come to you. I will ask Wei Yingxue."
"Okay, the more people the better, anyone who wants to come can come."
Teacher Zao became more energetic: "This time the project is not tiring, and the rating is only B. We can just follow it. We are mainly busy with the Department of Guards. We will drink tea and visit the ruins of the Kingdom of the West.
Look at the incomplete palaces in the area and see if you can find some traces of human transformation. We are technical support, and dangerous work is not our responsibility."
Song Shiyi took this opportunity to ask: "Then do you know a man named Manu? He is the Forgotten One from the Arch Guards."
"Manu knows."
Teacher Zao said naturally: "Old man...how do you know? I remember you have never been there. These things should be the secrets of the Foreign Affairs Bureau."
"I also have my own intelligence source. Teacher Zao, do you know what's going on with Manu? If it doesn't violate discipline, can you tell me a little bit?"
"This is not a violation of discipline. I know very little about it."
The old man on the other end of the phone slowed down and said: "Manu has the breath of a dragon, but he is not a dragon. He likes moist water environments and has characteristics similar to water. He may have some blood relations with dragons or dragon-like people.
Relations. The Arch Guard also wanted to find out his situation and past, but unfortunately there was no progress."
…
Back at the iron pot dining table, Song Shiyi shared the newly obtained information with Mary.
"I understand." Mary nodded.
Song Shiyi took advantage of the situation and sent out an invitation: "There is a cooperation project related to the Arch Guards Department. Would you like to consider coming together?"
She briefly talked about the general content of this public project.
"The "Land of the West" involves a very important figure in Chinese mythology, King Mu of Zhou, also known as the Emperor of Zhou."
"Before King Mu of Zhou went west to Kunlun, he was visited by a man who claimed to be from the Kingdom of the West. He was invulnerable to water and fire, could break through metal and stone, overturn mountains and rivers, move cities, and could change things in a thousand ways."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Huaren took King Zhou Mu into the palace of the Kingdom of the West. After seeing all kinds of wonders in the sky, King Zhou Mu suddenly
When I woke up, I found myself sitting in the same place. It turned out that everything was just an illusion. The relevant records are roughly like this."
"According to the survey and exploration of the Arch Guard Department, a ruins of the "Western Pole Country" have been identified. The Arch Guard Department is very knowledgeable about various props and treasures, but it has always been weak in the excavation and investigation of ruins, so the Joint Committee asked us
Join them on a field dig.”
"Teacher Zao is the head of the committee this time. The rating of this project is B. As long as it is a god, it can be dealt with. I will go with you."
Mary ate while listening and quickly finished the bowl of rice.
Then she said: "What is the time cycle?"
"It's very flexible. Not everyone has to go to every period. For the latest period, if there are no accidents, Teacher Zao will lead the team there in two days."
Song Shiyi told the whole situation truthfully.
"Okay, let's join."
Mary was very happy this time.
Song Shiyi couldn't help but squeeze her fist lightly.
This was the first time she had persuaded Mary to go to the virtual universe for field work, and she was really looking forward to it just thinking about it.
"Songjian."
Wei Yingxue raised her hand and said, "I'll go too."
"Are you sure you want to go?"
"Sure."
"OK."
"Great!"
Wei Yingxue waved her fists, twisted her neck, and immediately promised: "This time I will urge Mr. Lian Zhenxing to work hard! I will never let him mess around anymore!"
Contributing to this group formation, Song Shiyi took a sip of the tea in the cup and felt that the tea became more fragrant.
After the first time, there will be a second time. Mary should get closer to herself in the future.
A breakthrough from zero to one!
Relationship improvement successful!
Mary suddenly asked: "Have the results of the last Gandharva punishment not come out yet?"
Speaking of this matter, Song Shiyi also had a headache. She just went to look through the file today, and she felt a little dizzy after reading it.
"Her situation is relatively complicated. She has the facts of assisting in crimes and has performed meritorious services... The sentencing is still being further determined."
Mary frowned.
"About half a month ago."
Song Shiyi said seriously: "Gandharva surrendered to the committee and admitted the fact that he accepted the instructions of Dhritarashtra and was arrested by the committee on purpose."
"She was arrested so that she could enter the committee's [detention center] and deliver a message to Lord Rahu who had been detained for a long time. Chi Guotian's other identity is Lord Jidu."
Mary also became serious: "What's the message?"
"..."
Song Shiyi hesitated for a moment: "Jidu Xingjun asked the Gandharva to send a message, saying, 'You must be obedient inside, reform well, and strive for leniency.'"
The girl opposite showed a puzzled and confused expression.
Song Shiyi understands the other person’s feelings.
She did the same thing when she turned to the file.
It took a lot of effort to come here and spread such a sentence.
This [Chaos Star] is just as described in the archives, disrupting the world, having an unpredictable temperament, and often disappearing.
