Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3672 The key to lobbying

"Let me help you."

Jane walked into the kitchen and interrupted Chi Feichi's thoughts.

Chi Feichi stopped thinking about the Edgar Hoover intelligence and assigned cooking duties to Jane, "Then please help me wash these vegetables."

Jane immediately rolled up her sleeves and helped select and wash vegetables.

Chi Feichi pre-processed the meat on the side, cut out part of the vegetables that Jane had washed with a knife, and stewed the chicken and mushrooms before continuing to cook other dishes.

His grandfather's health has improved a lot recently, but as an elderly person, it is still not suitable to eat too spicy or greasy food. However, the food is too light and can easily make people lose their appetite. Therefore, he had better make the dishes lighter. You can use some spicy ingredients that are not too spicy, but be careful about the amount.

Jian followed and helped, listening to Chi Feichi's instructions, and helped Chi Feichi complete some simple but trivial steps in processing ingredients.

About an hour later, the dishes were placed on bowls and plates and delivered by Jane to the dining table outside the living room.

Steamed sea bass, chicken stewed with mushrooms, colorful vegetables and shrimps, carrot and tofu balls, scallion potato pancakes, tomato and winter melon soup...

Every dish looks very refreshing, the warm color makes people appetizing at first glance, and the smell is fragrant but not greasy. Even the simplest-looking onion-flavored potato pancakes, which seem to be just composed of shredded potatoes, are also delicious. It exudes an attractive food aroma.

While Jane was serving food, Chi Feichi stayed in the kitchen, cut two cucumbers, and sent them to the living room together with the sauce he prepared.

Seeing that the portions of the dishes were large, Karasuma Hideya asked Chi Fei Chi to take a few portions and send them out to the people on duty outside. After Chi Fei Chi returned to the living room and sat down, he asked Rum and Jian to use their chopsticks together.

The meat of the steamed sea bass is tender and fragrant. During the pre-processing of the fish, the marinated seasonings stimulate the aroma of the meat. And because the marinating time is well controlled, some of the fresh and sweet taste of the fish is retained after steaming. It is paired with the dish. The sauce poured over it and the shredded scallions sprinkled on it can not only stimulate the appetite, but it doesn't taste too heavy.

Jane picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. She immediately felt the signal of satisfaction from her taste buds, and her eyes lit up, "I will also learn to cook these dishes in the future!"

That is to say, there is obviously such delicious food in the world, why would she want to eat the messy British food?

British food is hopeless. She can learn to cook this type of food and strive to be able to make these delicious dishes in the future!

"These dishes look simple, but it's not easy to make them well," Rum said as he tasted the chicken stewed with mushrooms and couldn't help but savor the delicious aroma that easily captured his taste buds. "This kind of ingredient , the fusion and stimulation of seasonings are perfect..."

With a smile on his face, Karasuma Hideya also moved his chopsticks to taste the food. He tried hard to restrain his proud mood and said to Rum, "I thought the food made by Lark was very suitable for me. If you think it is suitable for you, , just eat more.”

Whose child made such delicious food? Yes, yes, his children did it!

Chi Feichi had eaten something before and tasted a little of each dish. After confirming that the taste of each dish satisfied him, he put down his chopsticks, went to the kitchen to boil water, made a pot of tea, and poured it for himself. For a cup, bring the teapot and extra empty teacups to the dining table, sit and read the morning paper and drink black tea.

Karasuma Hideya, Rum, and Jane didn't eat very fast. The three of them chatted casually and chewed slowly, but they still finished all the dishes on the table little by little.

Chi Fei was very satisfied when he saw the three people giving him face like this, and went to the kitchen to make pineapple custard for dessert.

After drinking the pineapple custard, Hideya Karasuma and the others said: "..."

Very good, now there is no remaining space in the stomach, and even the gaps are filled with pineapple custard!

…

After the meal, Rum sat and rested for a while, then went to the information reception room on the yacht to contact Curacao, Belmod and other members involved in the operation, and follow the progress of the operation.

Karasuma Hideya asked Jane to clear the dining table and took Chi Fei to sit down on the sofa in the living room. He asked Chi Fei to learn about the recruitment progress of peripheral members.

"Four of the six people left after the elimination have clearly expressed their willingness to join the organization and have completed one or two simple tasks under my arrangement," Chi Feichi reported seriously, "I am also the other two people. We started making contact yesterday, and I will continue to put pressure on them to get them to agree to work for us, and we should have results within two weeks.”

"Where are the others?" Karasuma Hideya asked again, "Is the progress going well?"

"Belmode has been cooperating with Rum to conduct operational rehearsals during this period, and has temporarily stopped contacting peripheral member candidates. The progress is relatively slow. About half of them have not yet started contacting. Angostura's progress is similar to mine. "Chi Feichi said, "Gin has already completed it. He organized two robberies. In the end, only three peripheral member candidates were left alive. Judging from the situation he described to me, those three people's He is not weak in ability and is obedient enough to be an elite in action.”

"Gin is responsible for a lot of things. He doesn't have the patience to slowly approach those who can't arouse his interest. It's a good decision to hand over those who have criminal experience and are difficult to tame to him. You have arranged the deployment very well this time," Karasuma Hideya praised Chi Feichi generously, and said in a gentle voice, "Next, you continue to pay attention to the progress of others... In fact, the key to all successful lobbying is not whether the lobbyist is eloquent and eloquent, but whether the lobbyist can see the other party's desires and fears and whether he can make good use of the other party's desires and fears. You have to carefully observe the desires and fears of those candidates for peripheral members, and do this job patiently. When you observe enough samples, you will meet people similar to the samples in the future. You can see the other party's inner needs and fears, and naturally, you will know how to encourage the other party to act according to your ideas."

Chi Feichi nodded, "I understand."

It seems that his grandfather asked him to be responsible for screening and recruiting peripheral members this time, in order to let him accumulate some experience in manipulating others.

His grandfather probably thought that instead of telling him empty experience, it would be better to let him see and feel the desires and fears in the hearts of those peripheral member candidates, and let him explore his own methods. This is much better than instilling rigid experience.

Seeing that Chi Feichi responded seriously, Karasuma Hideya didn't say anything else and picked up the cup to drink tea.

Chi Feichi waited for Karasuma Hideya to put the cup back on the coffee table, took out a box from his pocket, and handed it to Karasuma Hideya, "By the way, I have something to give you. It's a return gift for the last Christmas gift. I didn't remember that Christmas was coming, so I didn't prepare a gift for you in advance. I can only make up for it now..."

"A belated Christmas gift? Then I must accept it," Karasuma Hideya smiled and took the palm-sized box, opened the box, took out the necklace with the Sun God Mirror pendant, and carefully looked at the pattern on the pendant, "The engraving pattern on this pendant is really special. It looks like a flying bird, a human figure, and some stripes... What is the meaning of this engraving pattern?"
