The soldiers who were singing outside the canteen sang three or four songs before lining up in an orderly manner to enter the canteen to get their meals.
The soldiers in the cook camp had already prepared the meals. Pots of fragrant rice, baskets of steaming steamed buns, and buckets of oily spinach and egg drop soup were all placed on the table.
There are a total of thirty food stations in the cafeteria, and each sentry lines up in an orderly manner in front of a food station.
Each soldier can have a bowl of big pot dish, a bowl of spinach and egg drop soup, and two big steamed buns on top of the big pot dish.
The big pot looked very good. Everyone had a full bowl. There were at least seven or eight large pieces of braised pork, as well as a lot of pork liver and offal, as well as tofu puffs, black fungus, white cabbage, mushrooms, vermicelli and green vegetables. There were many kinds of ingredients and they looked delicious and very tempting.
Everyone lined up and took turns to get their meals. The line was orderly.
When Zhang Jing saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod and stroke his beard. When eating in other military camps, it was always noisy and everyone was fighting for food, but the Zhejiang Army was so orderly and disciplined.
Just as Zhang Jing was nodding his head in praise of the strict discipline and orderliness of the Zhejiang Army, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers arrogantly, swaggering, and laughing as they went straight from the back of the team to the front to get food. They all looked so self-righteous, and kept complaining about the people behind them, saying in an exaggerated tone, "Hahaha, the pig we killed today is so fat. The braised pork is enough to make me drool. It's good to get food in the front. Not only can we eat the braised pork faster, but there's also more meat in the dishes..."
"Go to hell, you bastard Black Bull. You just got lucky and won first place today. Why are you so proud? Tomorrow we will beat you back to your original form and let you see what a true elite is!"
The soldiers who were cut in line were not willing to be outdone and retorted.
However, despite their ridicule, the people in the queue just watched them cut in line to get their meals without questioning.
"Zihou, what's going on? Are they troublemakers? Why don't you do anything about it?"
Duke Wei looked at these people who cut in line blatantly and couldn't help but frowned and said to Zhu Ping'an.
"Yes, Lord Zhu, this needs to be taken care of. Don't let a single bad apple spoil the whole barrel." Someone immediately said.
"My Lord, they are not troublemakers. On the contrary, they are the leaders of the soldiers. In order to encourage the soldiers to train, I have established a rule that the team that wins the training will have the honor of cutting in line and eating first."
Zhu Pingan said with a smile.
"Oh, so they are the leaders who have won the training. No wonder they are so proud of themselves for cutting in line." Zhang Jing suddenly realized, and nodded to Zhu Ping'an in appreciation, "Not bad, you have disciplined them and motivated them, the military camp is in order, and the soldiers are eager to serve. Zihou, you did a good job."
"Thank you for your compliment, sir." Zhu Ping'an replied modestly.
Then, Zhang Jing and others also lined up to get a bowl of big pot dish, two steamed buns and a bowl of spinach and egg drop soup. Zhang Jing refused Zhang Bao and others to help him, and held the bowl of dish in one hand and the bowl of soup in the other.
Although Zhang Jing requested that no special care or special meals be provided for him, Zhu Ping'an still had someone reserve a table for him.
There were a limited number of tables and chairs in the cafeteria. If they didn't reserve a table and chair, Zhang Jing and his men would definitely not be able to find an empty table to eat at this time. They couldn't let Zhang Jing and other elders sit on the ground to eat. Zhang Jing and his men wouldn't say anything about the small convenience of reserving a table.
"Haha, come to think of it, this is my first time eating the big pot food in the military camp. Seeing how they are eating it, I guess it tastes good."
Lord Huang put down the bowl of food and soup in his hands, looked at the soldiers who were eating at the tables around him, and spoke with interest.
"I advise Lord Huang not to have too much hope. The food in the military camp is just so-so. It's good enough to fill your stomach." Someone smiled bitterly and shook his head.
If Zhang Jing had not nodded, he would not have chosen to eat from the big pot. What's the point of eating from the big pot in the military camp
"After eating too much meat and fish, it's nice to change the taste by tasting some big pot dishes occasionally." Someone else also said.
"Everyone, this is a simple meal, and there is no need to follow any etiquette or rules. You have been busy with me for most of the day, and you have all worked hard. Let's eat quickly and taste the Zhejiang Army's big pot meal."
Zhang Jing said something simple and invited everyone to have dinner.
Let’s eat.
Although everyone didn't have high expectations for the big pot meal, they hadn't eaten for most of the day and were really hungry. No matter how it tasted, they would fill their stomachs first. At least they would fill their stomachs. If they didn't eat something, their stomachs would rebel.
"Please come in, Governor. Please come in, gentlemen." Everyone politely gave way to each other and started to play fast.
There was a big pot of food, with both meat and vegetarian dishes. Thinking that the meat would be more or less edible, I picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in my mouth.
Um?!…
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open in disbelief. The braised pork was quite delicious. Although it wasn't as delicious as the one in Cooking Master Boy, with people exploding on the spot, fantasizing all over the place, and dancing the Bazhahei in the air, the expressions of deliciousness were still beyond words.
It is fatty but not greasy, melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance.
It seemed as if the taste buds were instantly awakened by this bite of braised pork, and the whole person's appetite was suddenly aroused and his index finger was whetted.
It was such a surprise. Maybe it was because they didn’t expect it that they found it surprisingly delicious.
After all, it is meat, and it is normal that braised pork is delicious.
Everyone thought so, and when they ate the next piece of meat, most of them picked up a piece of vegetables to taste how it tasted.
Um?!
If the braised pork just now brought them an unexpected surprise, then this bite of coriander absolutely brought them amazement.
The explosive taste, juicy texture, and delicious aroma overturn the perception that green vegetables can only be bland.
The braised pork has to be put at the back.
Then, one bite after another, before they knew it, the whole bowl of vegetables had been picked up by everyone and eaten up.
"Do your usual big pot dishes taste like this? Don't be afraid, just answer truthfully." Zhang Jing gently asked the soldier at the next table.
"Your Excellency, it usually tastes the same, but we killed an extra pig today, so there's a little more meat."
"The big pot dishes we usually cook are also so delicious. The firemen are willing to use more oil and ingredients, so the taste of the big pot dishes is really unique. Haha, there is a joke in our camp, that is, when we eat, we have the best temper. Even if someone comes and slaps us in the face, left and right, 300 times in a row, we won't make a sound, because we are afraid that the soup will flow out of our mouths..."
The soldiers responded one by one.
Not only did they say so, they also put it into practice. Every soldier ate the big bowl of food cleanly, and even licked the soup. After they finished eating, the bowl looked as if it had been washed...
