Chongxi 17 in the 1960s
After eating, several platoon leaders came to have a meeting with He Liyuan again.
A few of them looked at each other, and one of them smiled flatteringly and said, "Captain, sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really amazing! We will never forget the taste in our lives. It's just that the big guys didn't eat enough, I'm still thinking about it."
"Yes, yes." Another Wang Songming continued, "Although we also know that it must not be good to always worry about food during the mission. But thinking about these two days, the mission has not been officially carried out. Let the brothers eat something good, and when the fight starts, they will be more motivated, right?"
"We don't mean that if you don't eat well, you won't be motivated. Captain, don't get me wrong! What we mean is that this can stimulate potential and make you more motivated."
"That's right, so Captain, see if you can give the brothers a full meal. Just one meal is fine, we pay for the sheep ourselves, and let the sister-in-law help with the cooking."
He Liyuan waited for them to finish talking, then looked at them and said, "You don't need to pay, your sister-in-law said, he will pay for you to buy sheep, so that you can eat enough."
"Really?! That's great, but we still have to pay the money. How dare you let my sister-in-law spend the money."
"That's right, there are so many of us, and if we don't have ten or twenty sheep, it's definitely not enough to eat. How can we ask my sister-in-law to cook and buy for me. We have a lot of people, and a little is enough for each of us."
"Your sister-in-law has made a lot of money recently. He wants to comfort you, so don't refuse, or he will be unhappy."
Several people looked at each other again, and could only accept it very embarrassedly.
When the militiamen came again, Tao Yuan gave them a lot of money to buy sheep and spices. He knew that those soldiers could eat, and one meal would definitely not be enough, so he gave some extra money and asked the militiamen to deliver them several times. The extra money should be paid for the hard work of the militiamen.
Because those bandits have many dens in these mountains, they are not fixed in a certain den. In order to get familiar with the environment in the mountains and accurately grasp the location of the dens, the soldiers have been lurking and searching in the mountains these days.
Tao Yuan always felt that the soldiers endured hardships, and their lives were in danger at any time. With such a small salary, why can't they have a good meal? It would be fine if they didn't have that condition, but now he can help them create conditions, of course they should eat better.
Although there are a lot of sheep roasted at one time, Tao Yuan does not need to do it himself. There is not much technical content in roasting a whole sheep, as long as the heat and roasting time are mastered. Tao Yuan told them the method, and then asked them to bake it by themselves, and he would check on it every once in a while, and just told them not to over-bake it.
Ren Xiuyang took his soldiers and ran in the mountains all day. When he came back, he swallowed his noodles with a bitter expression on his face. Because the smell of meat coming from the Yonghu Squadron was stronger than that of the previous two days, he felt uncomfortable to suffer this kind of torture all day long.
The soldiers of the Yonghu Squadron each received a large piece of mutton, and tore the mutton with big mouthfuls, with a satisfied look on their faces, as if all the fatigue disappeared in an instant.
Wang Songming quietly called out the second platoon leader of the Wolf Squadron, and the two hid from the others and shared a piece of mutton.
Tao wished to see the soldiers eating happily, and he felt at ease too.
These soldiers were already very angry, and Tao Yuan worried that they would get very angry if they ate mutton and drank a lot of mutton soup. Behind this temple, there are several pear trees, probably planted by former monks, and now they are full of huge pears. They asked the soldiers to pick some pears, boil some pear water, and put some medicinal materials he brought into it, and asked the soldiers to clear the fire.
Tao Yuan knew that they would not be able to eat enough for one meal, so two days later, he asked the militiamen to bring up another ten or twenty sheep.
Ren Xiuyang took the lunch box and walked to the side of the cauldron, and couldn't help complaining, "Noodles again? Can't you make something else?"
"We can't do anything else, how about making you two cakes?" the soldier said.
"Then it's better to eat noodles, the cake is so dry, and there is no good soup to drink with it." Ren Xiuyang said.
"Platoon leader, you can just make do with it. Who told us not to be as good as the Brave Tiger Squadron..." The soldier realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he quickly changed the subject. If you're a picky eater, noodles would be nice, it's better than gnawing on military rations. You rich kids have delicate tongues."
"Does it have something to do with me being a kid from a rich family? You can smell the meaty aroma wafting over there and eat the salty noodles, so you can feel balanced in your heart?"
"So what if it's unbalanced, can you still have the cheek to ask them for it? Even if you ask for it, they can't give it to us. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give it."
"I just asked them to ask for it!" Ren Xiuyang put the lunch box on the ground, stood up and said, "If they don't give it to me, I will ask the sister-in-law of He Squadron to make it for us. I will ask him. If you don't believe me, he won't agree." !"
Looking at the back of Ren Xiuyang striding away, the soldier whispered, "He really might not agree, who made our squadron leader offend him?"
Seeing Ren Xiuyang striding over, Wang Songming thought he was in a hurry, so he hurried up and said, "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
"I'm looking for Squadron He's sister-in-law," Ren Xiuyang said.
"Why are you looking for our sister-in-law?" Wang Songming asked suspiciously.
"If you don't share the mutton with us, I'll invite the sister-in-law of He Squadron to cook for our squadron." Ren Xiuyang continued to walk into the temple after finishing speaking.
"Alas!" Wang Songming hurriedly stopped him, "Do you think our sister-in-law cooks? He is a doctor, not a cook!"
"I'll just ask him to do it once, and besides, didn't he do it for you too?" Ren Xiuyang stretched out his hand and pushed him away.
"You can't go!" Wang Songming stopped him again, and shouted to the soldiers next to him, "Come here, you guys, stop him!"
Several soldiers hurried over to stop Ren Xiuyang.
"Why are you stopping me?!" Ren Xiuyang said unconvinced.
"In short, you have to go to our sister-in-law, but you can't. He doesn't cook for people." Wang Songming said confidently.
"I'm going, you guys get out of the way!" Ren Xiuyang shook them off vigorously, wanting to rush in.
Gu Yu stood under a big tree not far away, watching several people entangled and wrestled together. They were not really fighting, and they didn't really fight, so he didn't go to stop it. It's interesting to watch them fight like this.
Tao Yuan happened to come out from inside, and saw several soldiers scuffling, he was stunned for a moment, and after recognizing one of them was Wang Songming, he shouted loudly, "Wang Songming!"
The few people who were entangled with each other immediately let go, turned around and stood up straight, looking at Tao Yuan.
"Sister-in-law." Wang Songming called.
"What are you doing?" Tao Yuan walked down the stairs and asked, "Why did you start fighting?"
"Sister-in-law, we didn't fight, we, we were just joking around." Wang Songming said.
"Sister-in-law, I have something to find you, but they won't let me in!" Ren Xiuyang took the opportunity to say.
"Is there anything for me?" Tao Yuan said suspiciously, "If there is anything for me, just tell me."
"Shut up! Don't say it!" Wang Songming said with a suppressed voice.
"Why don't you let him say it?" Tao Yuan said, "Although you are not in the same squadron, you are all the same people's soldiers. This time we came out together to carry out the mission of suppressing bandits. You should unite and cooperate, fight together and win Get rid of those bandits as soon as possible. If there are difficulties, we should help each other."
"Sister-in-law, we all understand what you said. If they are really in trouble, we will not help him. But he, he... "
"What's wrong with him?" Tao Yuan looked at Ren Xiuyang and asked, "Just say what you want, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help you."
When Tao Yuan said this, Ren Xiuyang felt a little embarrassed. He said hesitantly, "It has nothing to do with combat. Even when the Brave Tiger Squadron eats roast lamb, we are a little greedy, so I want to invite my sister-in-law to come over and give it to us." Do it once."
Tao Yuan froze for a moment, he really didn't expect that what he was going to say was this. This is not a problem, why are they fighting together like this
"I thought it was something." Tao Yuan said, "If you want to eat, you can just come here. How about it? Today's ones are also roasting. I'll ask them to send you a few."
"Thank you sister-in-law!" Ren Xiuyang immediately thanked happily.
"How can this be done?!" Wang Songming said excitedly, "Giving it to them, isn't it enough for us?"
"What's wrong?" Tao Yuan looked at him helplessly and said, "They're all my own people, why are you so reluctant to part with a few roasted mutton? I didn't think of it, and I forgot to prepare some for you. When the militiamen come again next time, I'll let them They sent more sheep and roasted them with your portion."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Ren Xiuyang thanked again, and said happily, "How much do those sheep cost? I'll send them to my sister-in-law in a while. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it when I get back to the military area."
"No need." Tao Yuan said, "You work so hard, and you only eat one decent meal a day. When the fight starts, you may not be able to eat a decent meal a day. It's nothing if I spend some money to comfort you. "
"There are so many sheep, why do you have the nerve to let my sister-in-law spend money? You still have to give the money, so my sister-in-law will accept it, so we can eat with peace of mind."
"If I am short of money, I will definitely not be polite to you, but if I am not short of this money, you should not be polite to me. I have a bad temper. If I say no, I don't have to give it. If you force it Give it to me, I'll be angry." After Tao Yuan finished speaking, he left to see how the mutton was roasting.
"Hey, my sister-in-law is so nice." Ren Xiuyang said with a smile.
"This is our sister-in-law, not your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is inside." Wang Songming squinted at him.
"My sister-in-law said just now that we are all the same people's soldiers. What are you and me?" Ren Xiuyang said, "It's just that it's not good to pay. How can he not be angry if he accepts the money?"
"Our sister-in-law is very capable. She knows medical skills, cooks, and makes money. Since he said that he doesn't need to pay, then he really doesn't need to pay, so you don't have to be polite to him. We didn't give money either, we The squadron leader said, this is my sister-in-law's wish, so let's not refuse it. Otherwise, he will be really upset, and there will be no mutton to eat in the future."
Gu Yu came over, looked at Ren Xiuyang and said, "For the sake of stuttering, you really have to go all out. If it weren't for the kindness of his sister-in-law, do you know how embarrassed you would be now?"
Ren Xiuyang gave him a supercilious look, "People who hide from eating meat are not qualified to say such things."
Seeing that Ren Xiuyang really came back with the mutton, the soldiers of the Wolf Squadron all surrounded him with straight-eyed eyes.
"Platoon leader, you are amazing, you really asked them to get mutton, and there are so many of them!"
"That's it, who am I?" Ren Xiuyang looked smug, and then pointed to the two soldiers and said, "You two, share the mutton with everyone. This is mainly due to my contribution. Leave a big piece for me." ah."
"Don't worry about the platoon leader, I will definitely leave the biggest piece for you!" The soldier drew out a kitchen knife and prepared to divide the mutton with excitement.
"Before eating the mutton, I have a few words to tell everyone." Ren Xiuyang said with a serious expression, "These mutton was given to us by the sister-in-law of the He Squadron. The sister-in-law said that in the future, roasting the mutton will also be done." We all have our share. The sheep he bought with his own money, the spices he prepared, and the method of roasting lamb he taught himself. It is to let us have a good taste while fighting hard. But I think, Although they don't want us to give money, we must remember their kindness in our hearts!"
"I'm sorry if I don't give you more money."
"That's right, I'm grateful for the help I made, how can I eat for nothing?"
"That's right, we have a lot of people, so it's enough for one person to make up."
"My sister-in-law said that if you don't have to give it, you don't have to give it. If you insist on giving it to him, you will be angry. This is his wish. We just remember his goodness." Ren Xiuyang said.
The soldiers were still quite embarrassed.
"Come, come, come and share the mutton!"
The soldiers temporarily put their embarrassment behind them, and immediately lined up to get the mutton.
The soldiers of the Wolf Squadron received not only mutton, but also two large pots of haggis soup. Soldiers who had already eaten noodles were still satisfied.
The soldier went to deliver food to Ning Haobo, put two lunch boxes on the table and said, "Captain, let's eat."
Ning Haobo smelled the aroma, looked up at the roasted mutton and mutton soup and said, "This is...."
"Yonghu Squadron gave it to Squadron He, and Squadron He's sister-in-law made it. A platoon leader asked for it, and Squadron He's sister-in-law gave us half of the share."
"How can you ask someone for something?" Ning Haobo frowned, he didn't want to owe He Liyuan and Tao Yuan this favor.
"A platoon leader said that he originally wanted to give money, but his sister-in-law refused to take it. The platoon leader also said that it was a little favor from his sister-in-law, so it's not easy to refuse, we just remember his kindness."
Ning Haobo could only nod his head, if he said he would not eat, it would seem that he cared too much.
After the soldiers left, Ning Haobo originally wanted to continue writing the plan, but the smell was so enticing that he couldn't help but take a sip of the haggis soup, and his eyes widened immediately. He had never had such a delicious soup before, and he really didn't expect that the man had such good cooking skills.
He also knew that the Brave Tiger Squadron had been eating roasted lamb during this time, and he had already smelled the aroma. If it was another squadron, he might have the cheek to ask for some for the soldiers. But it happened to be He Liyuan's squadron, and the person who made these roasted lamb and haggis soup happened to be his ex-fiancee. No matter how much he wanted to eat, he couldn't go over and ask for it himself.
Ning Haobo took another bite of mutton, and after thinking about it, he closed the lid, picked up the lunch box and went out.
This period of time is the most leisure time for the medical team, as long as no soldiers are injured, they will not be very busy.
Wen Han is sitting in the yard reading a book. There is no electric light here. Reading at night is not good for the eyes. Anyway, it is boring to be idle. He read a book to pass the time while the sky is still bright.
"Ning Squadron."
"Ning Squadron, did Doctor Laiwen send you food?"
"Ning Squadron, Doctor Wen is sitting in the yard."
The nurses greeted Ning Haobo, and Ning Haobo nodded to them.
Walking into the yard, he saw Wen Han sitting on a stone chair. He walked over, put the lunch box on the stone table and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Wen Han looked up at him, then at the two lunch boxes, "I've eaten it, you can eat it yourself."
Ning Haobo sat down, opened the lunch box and said, "This soup is quite delicious, please drink some."
As soon as Wen Han asked about the taste, he knew who made it. Recently, doctors and nurses are drinking this soup, and only he eats what he made.
He said with a cold face, "Yue Ruqing did it, right? Your ex-fiancee has such good cooking skills, do you feel any regrets?"
"Would I regret this little soup? If I didn't marry you, it would be the most regretful thing in my life. Now that I'm married to you, I have nothing to regret in my life. Don't be with me I'm angry, okay?"
Since Wen Han went back to her natal home last time, no matter how much Ning Haobo persuaded him, he refused to go back with him, so whenever Ning Haobo was free, he either went to Wen Han's house or the hospital to look for him, which made Wen Han very annoyed , Thinking about coming out to hide, who knows that he will also come together.
But Ning Haobo felt that this was a good opportunity to restore Wen Han's forgiveness while performing the task.
"Hmph." Wen Han snorted coldly and said, "He who roasts mutton and makes mutton soup here all day makes the soldiers lose their minds about carrying out their missions and only think about this food. To show off your cooking skills, you must You shouldn’t show off at this time, the soldiers are here to suppress the bandits, not to play together. You should always be vigilant and maintain an attitude of being ready for battle. Now a few meals of roast mutton have made the appearance of a soldier no longer.”
Two soldiers from the Tiger Squadron and the Wolf Squadron came to collect the insect repellent, and they just heard his words, feeling very uncomfortable. When did they not look like soldiers? They didn't delay at all the tasks that should be completed. They ran between several mountains every day. Not only might they encounter bandits at any time, but they were also careful about those poisonous insects and snakes. Shouldn't they come back to have a good meal
Is it wrong to eat something good at mealtime just because they are soldiers? Could it be that during rest and meal times, continuing to eat hard-to-swallow military rations is what soldiers should look like? They were meant to cook, but it's just the difference between making it taste bad and making it delicious. Is it in his heart that soldiers should eat unpalatable meals, and only then can they be called to perform tasks, and only then can they be called what soldiers should look like
The nurse who led them inside also felt that it was wrong for him to say that. They were supposed to eat, and they didn't affect their tasks just because they ate better. Isn't it better for soldiers to fight if they eat well and rest well
Ning Haobo glanced at the two soldiers with an embarrassed expression on his face. As the squadron leader, he knew best whether these soldiers had completed their tasks well. Wen Han's words would chill the hearts of the soldiers.
The third platoon leader returned to the tent and put the insect repellant heavily on the table with an angry look on his face.
Ren Xiuyang had enough food and drink, and was resting on the bed with a contented look on his face. Seeing the angry look of the third row leader, he stood up, walked to the table, and while removing the insect repellent, he asked, "Who messed with you? You are so angry, is it because you haven't eaten enough?"
"Don't mention eating!" the third row said with a long breath.
"What's the matter?" Ren Xiuyang looked at him suspiciously, "The sister-in-law of He Squadron kindly gave you delicious food, why can't you mention it?"
The third platoon leader opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Gu Yu also sat up and looked at him suspiciously. The rest of the soldiers who were resting also looked at him.
"You're talking!" Ren Xiuyang ran out of patience and couldn't help but kicked him. "If you are dissatisfied with the sister-in-law of the squadron He, I will be the first to say no!"
"I'm not dissatisfied with Squadron He's sister-in-law, but our sister-in-law..."
"What's wrong with him?" Ren Xiuyang was even more puzzled, "He didn't cook us any delicious food. Could it be that we ate something made by He Squadron's sister-in-law, and he has a problem?"
"Doesn't he have an opinion!" The third platoon leader said, "Not only does he have an opinion on us, he even has an opinion on the Brave Tiger Squadron!"
"What's going on? You speak out everything, don't keep saying half a sentence, are you making trouble?!" Ren Xiuyang said impatiently.
The third platoon leader turned his head, glanced outside, and told them what Wen Han said just now, and then everyone fell silent.
A soldier whispered, "Then, after that, can we no longer eat those mutton and haggis soup?"
"Who said no to eating?!" Ren Xiuyang stared and said, "We want to eat! Why don't we let us eat?! It's only natural for soldiers to go through life and death, so why not eat something good?! Besides, we delay things Is it? If you have the ability, let him go with us tomorrow, and see if he can still say these things when he comes back!"
"Platoon leader, keep your voice down, it's not good to be heard." A soldier went to pull up the tent door.
"He is jealous." Gu Yu said lightly, "You can tell from his eyes that he likes Squadron He, and Squadron Ning will regret it sooner or later."
"The platoon leader, shall we still eat in the future?" Gu Yu's soldiers asked him in a low voice.
"Eat." Gu Yu said, "As long as Squadron Ning is not overwhelmed, it is impossible to say that we are not allowed to eat. Why should we care what he thinks?"
"That is, as long as we do what we need to do well, why should we care what he thinks of us?" Ren Xiuyang said.
"Gu Yu! Ren Xiuyang!" A voice shouted.
Gu Yu immediately stood up and walked out, Ren Xiuyang also recognized Wang Songming's voice, and followed Gu Yu out.
Seeing them coming out, Wang Songming pointed to two big iron buckets and said, "This is the pear soup made by our sister-in-law. He said that eating too much mutton and mutton soup will get angry. I want you to drink some pear soup to clear the fire."
"It's so timely. I just need to go to the fire. Thank you sister-in-law for us." Ren Xiuyang walked over and squatted down, and when he opened the lid, he smelled a sweet and sweet smell, with a little fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Then I'm leaving, remember to bring the bucket back to us." Wang Songming said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, I will send it back to you in a while." Ren Xiuyang said.
Gu Yu watched Wang Songming leave, and then said to the soldiers next to him, "Hurry up and let the brothers bring the cups, or your long faces will be buried in it."
"Yes!" The soldier ran away immediately.
