Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Bargaining

The quartermaster took a quick step and rushed over, pulling on Wu Xiaoyu’s sleeve, and said with a smile, “Wu… Wu Xiaoyu, how much is your mushroom sauce? Can you give us a discount?”

About to leave, Company Commander Fan Biao saw the quartermaster’s attitude towards Wu Xiaoyu and immediately made a 180-degree turn. He laughed inwardly.

This old guy thought you were pretty tough just now, but now you’re suddenly begging? And begging from someone you just mocked!

Clearly, it’s your cooking squad that didn’t put effort into improving culinary skills, making us eat pig food for so long. Now, it’s your turn to suffer a bit!

Fan Biao turned around, gave Wu Xiaoyu a wink, and then said, “I’ll be waiting outside, you have three minutes!”

Three minutes? The quartermaster instantly became anxious. This meant he had to completely reconcile with Wu Xiaoyu and negotiate a discount price for the mushroom sauce within three minutes.

As soon as Fan Biao left the kitchen, the quartermaster cheerfully pulled Wu Xiaoyu to a small stool and asked, “I did have some doubts about you just now, don’t take it to heart!”

“Why would I? You just haven’t seen such an amazing mushroom sauce before, and thought I was bluffing. It’s understandable, don’t take it to heart!” Wu Xiaoyu responded generously.

Seeing that Wu Xiaoyu didn’t hold a grudge against the quartermaster, the other cooks gathered around with smiles, pleading, “Can you sell your mushroom sauce to us at a lower price?”

The quartermaster saw that the cooks were sensible enough to help him ask Wu Xiaoyu, and his discontent towards them lessened.

Everyone looked at Wu Xiaoyu expectantly, making him feel uncomfortable. So, he straightforwardly agreed:

“I’ll sell it to you at cost price, but the transportation fee for the mushroom sauce has to be calculated separately!”

Cost price? If that’s the case, a catty of mushroom sauce wouldn’t cost much. He said excitedly, “Great! Once said, it cannot be taken back. We’ll probably need over sixty catties a month!”

Wu Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the quartermaster, apologetically saying, “Sorry! We sell by the box, each box contains a hundred bags, over ten catties, and the cost price is about four hundred yuan!”

The cost price of ten catties of mushroom sauce is four hundred yuan? Are you kidding me? That’s so expensive!

When I watched you make the mushroom sauce just now, you didn’t use any special ingredients. Are you treating us as fools?

The quartermaster looked at Wu Xiaoyu with a constipated expression and awkwardly asked, “Can it be cheaper? This is also considered a contribution to the army!”

A few cooks chimed in with smiles, “Exactly! We’re all one big family in the military, can’t you give us a better price?”

It’s normal for businessmen to pursue profit, but as a conscientious Chinese citizen, one must also remember righteousness in their heart.

These warriors leave their homes to protect the country and endure rigorous training every day. If I can make their meals more delicious, it’s worthwhile to take a slight loss.

After all, I’m a multimillionaire now; I can afford to lose a bit of mushroom sauce.

“Alright then, three hundred yuan per box, no less!” Wu Xiaoyu agreed somewhat reluctantly, but the thirty yuan per catty still made it hard for the quartermaster to accept.

Seeing the constipated look on his face still there, Wu Xiaoyu explained truthfully, “Quartermaster, my mushroom sauce is made from wild mushrooms. The taste is much better, and the cost is naturally high!”

The cooking squad leader, hearing that it was made from wild mushrooms, quickly whispered to the quartermaster, “Quartermaster, the price of wild mushrooms today is twenty yuan per catty!”

Hearing the price of wild mushrooms, the quartermaster was clearly stunned. If that’s the case, then thirty yuan per catty isn’t that expensive.

Wu Xiaoyu saw the quartermaster’s face still full of hesitation and uncertainty, so he laughed and said, “Quartermaster, time is almost up, I have to go out!”

Seeing him getting up to leave, the quartermaster quickly responded, “Alright! Three hundred yuan per box it is, but you have to give me good quality!”

“Don’t worry! We’ll discuss the details later!” Wu Xiaoyu said as he hurriedly ran out of the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, the warriors from the Second Company were lined up and waiting for him.

These warriors, who had mocked Wu Xiaoyu in the morning, were somewhat resentful. However, now that he had solved their food problem, allowing them to enjoy tasty meals, it was considered a great merit.

So they felt a bit closer to him, at least not hostile or distant anymore.

Fan Biao saw him walking out confidently and immediately restrained his smile, checking his watch angrily, “You’re thirty seconds overtime!”

“What the heck! No way! I timed it right!” Wu Xiaoyu casually remarked, then stood at the front of the line, waiting for Fan Biao’s orders.

The warriors thought the company commander was really going to give Wu Xiaoyu a hard time, so they held their breath in suspense.

Wu Xiaoyu is tougher than the company commander. If he loses his temper and fights him, what will happen?

The company commander is really something. He’s just solving our food problem; can’t you be more lenient?

Fan Biao saw everyone holding their breath and not daring to make a sound, then suddenly laughed, “Wu… Instructor Wu, you are our fighting instructor, how can I punish you?”

Instructor Wu? Did he just acknowledge Wu Xiaoyu’s instructor status? Did he make peace with him? The warriors looked at the company commander in astonishment.

Fan Biao’s attitude towards Wu Xiaoyu was beyond everyone’s expectations, leaving them all speechless.

Wu Xiaoyu stood at the front of the line, being stared at by a bunch of puzzled eyes, feeling a bit creeped out.

“What’s going on? Are you unhappy that I wasn’t punished?” Wu Xiaoyu pretended to be angry and questioned.

Although the warriors hadn’t known Wu Xiaoyu for long, they sort of understood his character and knew he wasn’t an unkind person.

If he were, they would’ve been beaten up for mocking him in the morning, wouldn’t they? There wouldn’t be any chance left.

Moreover, Wu Xiaoyu solved their food issues, letting them say goodbye to pig food, so they naturally felt closer to him.

Therefore, Wu Xiaoyu’s angry look didn’t scare the warriors; instead, they smirked and laughed.

Fan Biao saw that the warriors’ attitude towards Wu Xiaoyu had changed, no longer fearing or resisting him, and felt relieved, ordering them to head to the training ground.

The large group marched past several buildings in the base, heading to the back to a barren hill.

Wu Xiaoyu looked around and saw that although the barren hill wasn’t steep, it was too much to use it as a fighting training ground, wasn’t it?

After all, this barren hill was filled with small stones and half-buried rocks. If someone got hurt, it would be quite a hassle.

Fan Biao saw Wu Xiaoyu looking all around the training ground and asked, “Wu… Instructor Wu, what are you looking for?”
