Chapter 175 Entering the Barracks

After getting the brand, there is only a chance to enter the new barracks, and the opportunity can be seized, and it depends on actual operation.

Shen Zhuru and Yueyang were led to the courtyard behind the registration point, where seven or eight people had gathered now, each carrying a big iron spoon, and the only people who carried the pot were probably Shen Zhuru and Yueyang.

"Miss, isn't our pot too eye-catching?"

"How can it be dazzling, our pot is not big, and it is old, at most it is a little more than others to take something, there is nothing to say that it is not dazzling, you can rest assured." At least we can still give the examiner a little impression score, and we can't say that we can pass the assessment faster, and it is not necessary to enter the new barracks. However, it's not the first time you've disguised yourself, so why have you forgotten the most important title? ”

"I know it's wrong, and I won't do it again."

After a brief conversation, the two waited in the corner.

"Guys, now start showing what you're capable of, and now everyone comes with me."

A fat man in a cloth coat walked over, followed by two soldiers, and after saying a word to those present, he beckoned everyone to follow.

Everyone followed this person to the courtyard next door, only to find that there were rows of stoves, the fat man pointed to these stoves, and said: "You need to prepare the soldiers' food every day, if it is you, you will choose what dishes to serve thousands of soldiers to eat, which will not delay their training time, but also ensure the nutrition needed every day. Let me taste it, ask a few questions, and if you pass it, you'll be able to pass it. This is the first and perhaps the last opportunity for you to enter the boot camp to greatly increase your monthly salary, take advantage of it, you know? ”

"Yes." Ten people stood up and answered, their voices loud.

"Big brother, what are we going to do?" Yueyang asked Shen Zhuru in a deep voice.

"The barracks are highly trained, and the physical exertion is high. Supplementing with high-consumption foods is inevitable. However, due to the large number of people, the cost must not be high. And so it goes. Whole grains are preferred, but meat, oil, and water should not be neglected, and they must be simple and easy to make without taking too long. I looked at the ingredients. There are a lot of sweet potatoes here. If you have free time in the future, you can use it to cook some food. Not right now. There is also a basin of lard residue, although it is slag, the oil and water are the remnants. You bring it here, find some cabbage, and cook a pot of cabbage later, and I'll go find the spice. You are responsible for cutting the cabbage into finger-length pieces, cleaning it and preparing it for cooking. ”

"Okay." Yueyang immediately brought out a pot of lard residue in the corner. He put it next to a stove, took a few more cabbages, washed them as instructed, and cut them into pieces.

Shen Zhuru found salt and sun-dried chili peppers, and even luckily found some peppercorns in the seasoning.

This undoubtedly allowed her to adjust the flavor of the cabbage to be cooked.

Tianfeng City originally belonged to the northern end of the Yurui Kingdom, and the climate has always been relatively wet and cold, and now the weather in April is still a transitional period from winter to spring for this side, which is relatively wet and cold, especially when there is no sun, the wind blows people very uncomfortable.

Therefore, it is normal to be able to find chili peppers here, but there are not many people who know them, and they can only find them because it is also a seasoning, and not everyone will like it, and they were accidentally found there.

Everyone else went about their cooking, and the aromas wafted out and were mouth-watering.

However, the amount of the cooked food here is determined by the examiner. If you cook well, you will naturally be hired, but if you mess up and cook too many things, then I'm sorry, and the amount of excess needs to be converted into silver compensation.

Who let you not have it? It's not your own people, so you naturally don't have any concerns.

Shen Zhuru started construction here, and it looked like an ordinary method, especially with the so-called lard residue, although it made people think that it was a novel cooking method, but no one thought that such a thing would be delicious.

However, if you put the chili pepper in it, at most, it is more spicy, and it is a question whether you can eat it, not to mention that there are rules for the assessment, and no one has stopped Shen Zhuru and the others from exceeding the standard too much.

Shen Zhuru's practice is to stew, heat some oil over low heat, stir-fry the peppercorns, throw in the dried chili peppers, stir-fry with a pot of lard residue, the whole pot will appear to be a lot of oil and water because of the lard residue, when it is about the same, add two handfuls of salt, stir well, pour in the washed and cut cabbage, mix together and stir-fry.

At this time, it is necessary to cook over high heat to speed up the water content in the cabbage, and mix it with the aroma of fried chili peppers and peppercorns to increase the richness of the dish.

When the cabbage is soft, add some tapioca flour to make a slight thickening, so that the flavor adheres to the surface of the dish, and a large pot of rich aroma of stewed cabbage with oil residue is baked.

"This tastes so good, it's meaty." Many people shook their noses, deeply intoxicated by the smell of meat.

"My surname is Zhou, and the people in the camp call me Zhou Da Fat, I don't know what the two brothers call me?" The fat man who was in charge of the assessment came over to say hello and took the initiative to introduce his name.

Needless to say, this is his recognition of the two, and he feels that the two are already firm colleagues, which is why he has a somewhat enthusiastic attitude.

"Brother Zhou is good, I am Martha, this is my brother Ma Er, when the head of the family calls me, I call it marijuana, and my brother is called Erma, if Brother Zhou doesn't dislike it, it's okay to call us like this?"

"In that case, you also call me fat brother, and all the brothers in the camp call me so. But marijuana, why do you cover your face? Are you mysterious? ”

"Fat brother, you misunderstand my brother, I'm not mysterious, it's just that my face is too cold, I don't dare to take it out to be scary, not to mention that I'm still a cook, even if this face can't be with a girl, at least you have to see it, and the murder is nothing." But it's really my face, looking at it will affect my appetite, so it's better to cover it. If you don't believe it, you can just make up the corner of my eyes, and I will know that all of my faces are all over my face, and I just covered it up. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go out. ”

Zhou Dapang looked at the place where Shen Zhuru pointed at his face, looking at the appearance of the acne drummering, if he really looked like this on his face, it was really not easy to see people.

"Hehe, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. But don't mind that too much, it's a bit bad for you to cover your face like this in the barracks. It can be misunderstood, especially at night, if you are mistaken for an assassin, you will really be wrongfully killed. So. In my opinion. It's better not to hide it like that. Of course, this is also done after you get to the camp and slowly change. I'm sure many people will understand. ”

"If so, so good. After all, no one likes to work with their faces covered, just like being a thief, and they don't feel good in their hearts, don't you say? ”

"Definitely. By the way, marijuana, are you ready for this meal? ”

"You can try it, big fat brother, you try the stew of our two brothers. How about trying it out? ”

Zhou Dapang immediately took the chopsticks and put a chopstick dish directly into the pot, and stuffed it into his mouth without worrying about the heat. Eating cabbage leaves with a snort, although his mouth was busy and he didn't have time to speak, his thumbs were still given to Shen Zhuru. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he spoke: "Brother, this cooking skill is really good, there is just a shortage of a guy, a month's monthly salary is ten taels of silver, and he is responsible for a large pot of dishes every day, you decide the specifics, as long as you meet the amount of the brothers in the camp." Of course, if any commander or general asks for more food, you don't have to be stupid to refuse, no matter how tired you are, then if you are there, you have to put it out, you know? ”

"Understood, don't worry, fat brother. I'll do it. However, my brother ......" Shen Zhuru looked at Yueyang's disguised Ma Eryan and looked at Zhou Da Fat.

"Naturally, it's over, work under your hands, but this month, I can only give five taels, which is already a good amount of silver, of course, if you are not satisfied, let him show his strength, you can also mention the silver."

"No, no need, I, I'm not as good as my brother, five taels is five taels, follow my brother, and work under my brother." Yueyang smiled silly, Zhou Dapang was indeed very satisfied with his carelessness.

"By the way, in the future, this barracks can't have a local accent, don't talk about me, or the small one, you know? Otherwise, if you provoke some officers, or grumpy soldiers, you will have to bear it. There are a lot of young masters with backgrounds in this new barracks, and the way you speak sounds awkward, and if your temper is bad, the result can be imagined. There was a soldier with a local accent who was beaten so that he couldn't get off the ground for three months, so don't repeat the same mistakes. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, brother, I, no, our brothers know, change it, change it back as soon as possible." Shen Zhuru nodded and said.

Shen Zhuru and the others also successfully got the quota to enter the barracks, as for the pot of stewed cabbage with oil residue, it was directly put into a large basin, as the dishes of many brothers stationed in this place at noon today, although it is not yet lunchtime, but it is already prepared in advance, saving no more trouble.

Shen Zhuru and Yueyang waited until the other applicants had made the dishes, integrated the qualified candidates, and took the carriage directly to the recruit camp.

And this will see that it will be half an hour before lunch, and Zhou Dafat's group of people will not leave them to eat first before leaving, and will send them away directly.

Sitting in a dilapidated carriage, Shen Zhuru and his party of six went to the new barracks, and the other four were unqualified, so they refused to do chores, or they disliked the low wages and were not willing to go, so they all left, leaving the six people to go to the new barracks.

When the group arrived at the new barracks, there was still half an hour before the prescribed lunch time, so the six of them were directly sent to the dormitory to start work directly.

When Shen Zhuru first arrived, the room was so busy that it was a lot of work.

"Man, I want a man to come over and light the fire, the guy, and the guy who has no spare time, hurry up and get the pile of cabbage out, and we will eat in half an hour, and we will all be punished for delaying the hour." A strong man wearing a large apron is brandishing an iron spoon and stir-frying vegetables, shouting loudly.

"Uncle Cai, I'm not free, the guys are busy with the things in hand, I'm afraid they can't be busy, by the way, come to the newcomer today, see if there are any new qualified guys, hurry up and go to the whole dish." The others are just going to use it for the time being. A petite man standing directly on the bench, stirring the big spoon in his hand towards the big wok, sweating profusely, shouted.

The pot of soup was steaming, the soup was not yet boiling, and there was obviously material in it, but it couldn't be burned, and it kept stirring.

"Uncle Cai has a new guy, the big fat brother has been tested, the big name is Ma Da, the little name is marijuana, and there are five who are handy, you look at the arrangement and hurry up to work." The escort soldiers also shouted, so that the so-called rich uncle could hear it.

"Then what are you waiting for, what kind of marijuana hurry up. Your stove is in the corner at the back, the pot is not too big, and it will be cooked more often, do you know? ”

"Uncle Cai, I understand." Shen Zhuru responded, she was quite interested in this kind of life in the barracks, and hurriedly pulled Yueyang over to work.

The dishes here are all washed in advance, and the only thing left is to cut the vegetables and put them in the pot.

This little thing is not a problem at all for the people who came, and it happened to be cabbage, but unfortunately there was no lard residue, and it was impossible to make the stew that was made at noon in Tianfeng City today, but this was not difficult for Shen Zhuru.

There is no lard residue, but there are potatoes, the taste of potato stew and cabbage is also good, the most important thing is that these potatoes are peeled, of course, for the sake of speed, this potato can only be mashed, otherwise it will not be able to catch up with the meal.

"Erma, you have a lot of strength, take this potato for my brother and mash it into a puree, you need to use it."

"Yes, big brother." Yueyang picked up a basket of potatoes by himself, poured them directly into the stone trough next to him, and pounded them with a pestle, and in a few clicks, he made enough pots of mashed potatoes.

Shen Zhuru also almost cut the cabbage into pieces.

After taking the garlic and chili peppers and stir-frying them in oil, the cabbage is fried in the pot, and the cabbage is forced to produce water after all the stir-fry is done, and after vacating the position, quickly pour the cabbage into it, and repeat it, use the fierce fire to cook the cabbage in the pot until the height of most of the pot is the dish, add a large spoon of mashed potatoes, stir it up and mix it into the cabbage.

The pot was boiled over a fierce fire, and soon the mashed potatoes were cooked, accompanied by a gurgling and bubbling sound, and after sprinkling the salt, they tasted the taste, and immediately got out of the pot and put it into a wooden barrel, and immediately started the second pot.

After boiling three pots in succession, the prepared cabbage was cooked and loaded, and this time was just in time for the meal, and the people in the kitchen followed the rich uncle to the desk in front of him, waiting for the food to be distributed to the soldiers.

A bowl of rice, a bowl of clear soup, and a tablespoon of vegetables, how spectacular is the excitement of thousands of people coming to eat, Shen Zhuru looked at the three pots of cabbage he had cooked, and looked at so many people, and he was really worried that he would not have enough points.

However, looking at the distribution pattern of other dishes, not all of them are given, but only three dishes, that is, three tablespoons of dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and the same with oil and water. (To be continued......)
