In Jiangning City, not far from Yanziji, the cleaned up urban area shows a completely different atmosphere; the few open spaces have been lined up with neat wooden tables and grass. Seat.
"Finally finished..."
For Wang Duner, who came to the tea farm under the Tianmu Mountain in Hangzhou. On behalf of the local trainee assistants who have finally been able to get regular, they sighed loudly, and under the orders of the leader of the team, they began to sit in uneven queues.
Then, under the leadership of these veterans, they tried to cross their legs and sang the routine "Military Law Song" and "Team Exercise Song" and "Nine Rules and Thirteen Rules for Protecting (People)" in a loud voice one after another.
Because they escorted the prisoners over and prepared to ship them to the west, this meeting happened to coincide with the celebration banquet in the local military camp. So everyone sang the song as if it were extra hard and loud.
As the focus and key point of the previous attack and defensive competition, although Jiangning City was beaten to pieces, the evacuated officers and soldiers set it on fire to stop it. There was rubble and scorched earth outside the Stone City, and there was almost no intact building.
But then the news of the victory spread, and consolation goods for the soldiers were sent from all over the place, which piled up like a hill outside the gate of the pasture. Therefore, the chefs in the local army also made a lot of dishes and served them to the celebration banquet in the camp.
"Dried potatoes and melon slices today... and bean soup..."
Asking about the different fragrance from the usual, Wang Duner couldn't help but ask.
"You idiot, since it's a treat, what kind of potato, dried melon sliced bean soup..."
The leader of the same table couldn't help but sneered.
"Of course you can eat whatever you have when you have it. At the worst, you have to have wine and meat, and enough for cakes and rice.. At the worst, you can open a few more miles of large cans..."
As if confirming his words, in the midst of the sound of drooling, the trolley soon pushed the big plate of dishes, and it was delivered to the table in Yanbian with smoke and fragrance all the way;
With a dull impact, I saw a large plate full of gray and pink, sauerkraut stewed white meat scattered with green onions, and there was a lot of heat and fragrance coming from the trembling place where the rest of the heavy table was left;
Then it was like an invisible trumpet resounding across the sky, and in an instant, the seven or eight pairs of bamboo chopstick heads swarmed up all around, waving like an electric arrow, peeling off one layer after another;
However, after a while, my mouth was filled with fatty and plump meat, and my throat was still full of sour and salty sauerkraut taste soaked in gravy, but it was unavoidable to face the bottom of the plate with only a thin layer of soup. Wang Dun'er, who was staring at him, noticed that the old man, who was called "Lao Liuer" by the celebrity, only took a few bites symbolically.
"Boss, why don't you let us be modest..."
He couldn't help chewing the meat in his mouth, so that he asked rather embarrassedly.
"Qian makes your brother a silly boy, shouldn't you think that the celebration banquet depends on this meat dish"
The leader of the team couldn't help but laughed:
"Isn't it..."
Wang Dun'er was a little regretful looking at the bottom of the dish that had been eaten and wiped out; but she remembered that after helping the village owner to worship the ancestors, all the adult men of the clan returned home with such a large pot of sacrificed meat. , Steamed on top of the rice zhen, it is considered to be open meat.
Afterwards, a large bowl of soup was delivered, but it was cress soup with pig blood balls; I saw the crunchy green cress soup ups and downs, full of the dark red color of a baby's fist. ball;
This time they finally didn’t have to grab it. Everyone used a wooden spoon to scoop up a big meatball with soup. It had a bit of chewy and tough skin and bite it through in the mouth, but a lot of slippery custard and meat broke out. In the end, the delicious taste of the moment is flowing everywhere on the tongue.
Then there are three shreds of dried shrimp, tofu and kelp, radishes, melon strips and bamboo shoot slices slipped in sweet and sour sauce, fried crispy fish floss and shredded roasted pork skin, and a five-color meat and vegetable cold dish. .
Wang Dun'er just picked it up with a jab, while slowly biting in his mouth, while scooping the refreshing cress soup down his throat, the decoction made people unable to stop.
However, immediately another new dish attracted his attention. This time I brought two large plates, roast duck with ginger sauce and stir-fried bacon with rice nuggets. Although they are all the dishes of ordinary restaurants, for Wang Duner's bitter background, they are not really delicious.
The chunks of duck meat with enough ginger juice are fragrant and spicy. You must know that he has put a lot of chickens and ducks since he was a child, but he has tasted it once in person, and can only be roasted in the Luoguchi Time, just think about it.
He hadn’t seen wild rice and bacon, but he never thought that the diced roots dug out and eaten raw as snacks could be so salty, crispy and delicious.
At this time, he was already a little bit satisfied, and had to stop moving between the messy dishes. However, more pleasing and helpless troubles began to appear again.
It was a hoof soaked in a large pot of thick soup, and it was a fire that rotted with the bones and tendons; there was still residual heat in the soup, and the gurgling skin in the soup was emitting more. .
It's just that when he had some difficulty dealing with the next big piece, even the belt tendons were sandwiched with fat and greasy hoof meat; a new body appeared again. It was a plate of fried cucumber sausage.
It's not that he hasn't seen something like sausage in the warehouse when he is helping at the owner's house, but he has never had a chance to really taste it. It was just that when he reluctantly added a few slices, the more he ate, the more delicious he was, and the soup came on again.
This time it was a canned fruit that was directly opened and heated. It was also something he was fortunate to see after seeing it as an assistant, and he always wanted to work hard for it; just like this with a large piece of fruit, ups and downs in sweetness and sourness. In the greasy sugar water.
However, he consciously expanded a lot of his stomach and intestines, but he was struggling with his mouth, ears and nose, and issued a warning to the contrary; "Well, I'll drink some sugar water."
He thought about it and tasted the sweet and sour pot of soup, and then he squeezed a piece of fruit in his mouth with unsatisfactory thoughts; Tian Huhu's profession was full of mouths and throats; it really was the apricot he had eaten in his early years .
It's just that compared to the green, sour, tooth-dropped fruits that he secretly picked up from his subordinates in his early years, the apricots in this can are very ripe, soft and sweet;
So he couldn't help picking one out again, this time it was sweeter peach flavor, then sweet and sour plums; slightly sour and astringent but sweet again green plums. . .
At this time, he was once again taken off his shoulders by the old man with a narrow face, and then he noticed that there was another dish served, this time it was cooked with some kind of bright red sauce. A plate of meat.
"Come and taste it, this is a good thing that the Japanese army could not eat casually..."
Then the old man also reversed his careless normality and immediately reminded everyone.
Okay, Wang Dun'er, who resisted the feeling of being stuffed in his throat and drank some canned water to make it smooth, also learned how the old man tore off a piece of meat with his hand and tried to bite it in his mouth.
At this moment, Wang Dun'er's tasteful and somewhat dull tongue felt a certain indescribable scent as if it came alive again, and his appetite became reactivated.
"What is the origin of this..."
An assistant soldier by the side first asked Wang Duner's concerns.
"It's said that you are blessed. This time I was exhausted and killed a lot of cows and horses on the road this time."
The old man couldn't help being a little glamorous and showy of mystery.
"It turned out to be beef!!!"
At this moment, Wang Dun only felt that he was going to be shocked and numb. That's beef. They have been taught from childhood to adulthood, and they are regarded as gangsters by the peasants. If they dare to kill and eat, they will be punished by the government as a felony. If you encounter beef, you will lose your life if you encounter it.
"You don't want to make a fuss when you wait... This is just a rare piece of fresh beef that has been killed right now..."
After the old man admired their reaction and attitude, he spoke unhurriedly.
"If it is canned corned beef, there are still many opportunities to see it..."
"Could it be possible to kill cattle like this in the army..."
However, Wang Dun'er, who was shocked and somewhat pale, couldn't help but questioned.
"It's possible... The cattle came out of a special breeding farm, and they all have a strict origin and purpose control..."
The old man couldn't help but glared at him.
"Those who can make canned food belong to the generations of Annan, Huguan, and Guiguan in Lingxi. The fat beef cattle that were specially raised for food belong to... Of course, if you have a chance to go there in the future, you will see all over the floor. Beef restaurants and deli shops sell all kinds of food, so naturally I want to eat as much as I want..."
So, next, holding on to their original thoughts even if they had lost their life, Wang Dun'er and the others respectively clutched their stomachs while letting go of their belts, and started another round of competition without a sword.
And this arduous and unstoppable Meimei received these extremely rich treats, and once again strengthened Wang Dun'er's determination to continue to pursue opportunities and future in the Taiping Army.
At least he has seen so many exciting and thrilling new things, and after eating such delicious food, he can no longer imagine that he will go back to that again. He can only eat chaffy vegetables all day and live a day in a muddled day. Up
Until the end, Wang Dun'er didn't know how he had eaten the last staple food with the heart that he must not waste it.
It is a local soup base made from fish bones and fish heads, and rice noodles made from late-maturing rice in the Taihu Lake basin are cooked, and the final milky white fish soup powder is made;
Therefore, Wang Dun'er, who touched his belly with one hand and supported his waist, couldn't stand up for a while; like him, there were six other pawns at the same table.
The most gluttonous hapless ghost is like a pig in a mud pit, clutching his round belly and humming, he can't even turn it over.
And this is the most calm and experienced, undoubtedly the leader of the team, "Lao Liu", who is slowly and slightly hiccuping, while slowly considering the wine jar on the table, there is only a meaningful left. The food is delicious.
Because everyone else had eaten up, the small jar of drinks that was delivered at the end of a table for eight people was actually cheaper than the old senior in the army.
And in the big camp on the riverside, as a reason to celebrate with the military and civilians, Zhou Huaian also put a table of local specialties in front of him (end of this chapter)
